-The only thing wrong with the anime cutscenes is the voice acting. Like in Mega Man 8, and in a lot of anime, THE VOICE ACTING IS TERRIBLE. It comes off as annoying, especially X's voice. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE HIM SOUND LIKE AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL?? Still, having anime cutscenes with bad voice acting is better than having no anime at all.
5703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a great game. Even being an older game, it is probably one of the best games I have ever played. It has a great storyline, and an interesting level up and junction system. It is a fun game that I would recommend to anyone, especially a Final Fantasy fan.
Overall, it isn't terribly bad, but is not very good either. It is better than 2 stars but not quite at 3 stars either. I'd rate it 50%. It has some nice features, such as being able to command a starship and be in charge of every feature of that ship, but you soon find that, with the absense of hotkeys for most parts of the ship, this game turns into a micromanagement simulation when you don't have time to micromanage because you're being shot at. The AI is generally dumb in the game when they are isolated, but some missions can be near impossible, and combine that with the fact that your "wingmen" do not do anything helpful, it can be very frustrating when trying to destroy over 30 Orion Pirate ships in one certain Federation mission. That's just it: some missions are impossible to beat, and the strategy guide does not help in the slightest.
Also, you encounter just a few cutscenes here and there, and each one is very interesting to watch because they show you what it was like during World War II, and you may even learn some stuff about the war that you've never known before. Good cutscenes.
5945 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A true classic of the rpg genre.
6364 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing outer space combat sims since the original X-Wing came out in 1993. Tachyon is just as fun and I must say the graphics are WAY better! ;) I'm using a GeForce2 on a PIII 500 with the game's graphics settings maxed out. It runs perfectly. It's an older game but I could never run it cause I didn't have a nice enuf system. It reminds me a lot of Privateer 2 but I think it's better. Definitely check this one out. Can't beat the price and you get MORE than what you pay for this game!!
"Terrifying" is an appropriate word to use here. "System Shock 2" does not rely on scripted events and cheap tricks to scare you. Instead, it is scary in an Alfred Hitchcock way. You are frightened by what you don't know is there, and by what you can't see. You find the corpses of the ship's crew scattered about, and you never get used to them. Even when there are no enemies in the room, you feel like you are only a split-second from demise. The brilliant use of sound in this game is one reason why the game is so successful at this. When you stand still, you can hear enemies moaning or chattering around the corner, or, perhaps, approaching you from behind.
The graphics for the Sega Genesis were pretty cool and great
1550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game on the old nintendo 64. It is fast paced and full of action in playing against each other.
The beauty of this game is that with TONS of free maps available online, you can customize it and keep this game fresh forever. There are even a couple of mods that aren't half bad.
In the file about "IRC W32 Tibick Activity" the Norton people mention how to completely remove the computer worm from infected computer systems. That process can take a while though as that worm infects several other programs on the computer as well. Norton lists all the programs that it infects as well.
"Rogue Squadron" raised the bar to an exceptionally high level for action/adventure games that other platforms have repeatedly shown a failure to meet. Nintendo still gets it, though, as it followed this game with the even more successful "Rogue Leader" for GameCube. "Rogue Squadron" is a must have for any serious gamer's library.
The only problems I have is the fact that it tends to have problems with the videos on my computer, pretty much not playing them. And the fact you cannot get multiplayer to work. If the multiplayer worked, there would be no question about giving this game 5 stars.
Those of you who are used to being spoiled by more recent RPGs such as Kingdom Hearts or Persona 3 won't find much eye candy here. The cutscenes, as mentioned before, are obviously impressive, but the rest of the game fails to deliver. In-game graphics are decidedly less detailed. As this was Square's first adventurous leap into character models that looked realistic, I'm willing to forgive a few of their more obvious flaws. To be honest, the characters are just...ugly. I can find no other word to describe them. From a distance, they're indistinct blobs, and when viewed up close, they don't appear to have much detail on their clothing or their faces. I can accept this to a certain extent, but I've noticed that the backgrounds themselves are usually much more appealing than Squall himself. The settings appear to be well designed and the environments are interesting. Yet, there's something distinctly wrong with piloting a mass of pixels around landscapes which, quite frankly, make me feel as though they deserve something better. On the other hand, character dialogue is well-written and there is significant development of Squall's personality throughout the game, as well as changes in character relationships.
747 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was hoping the game would be more complete and have the cheat codes, but the cartridge was in excellent condition and the game worked flawlessly.
And also the game didn't seem to like my ATI graphics card, so although I had the game for a couple of months I wasn't able to play it until I upgraded my card to something else.

If this game is put back in print, I will be first in line to regain this game so that my children can enjoy the fun I had iwth Sonic The Hedgehog.
This game has one of the most original themes I've ever known. This game is all about adventure and the places you visit come from a long list of destinations. The game itself started the unique IP gauge battle system and the most unique way of learning moves and spells: you have to have a certain numerical level to get a new technique. Some moves and magic have two or three required values, making this one interactive RPG that will mostly emphasize training. Once you get a new move, using it or its related statistic increases its power level and activation speed. Also, when a weapon or spell type levels up, you get a boost in the related parameter (for example: if Justin levels up his staff, he gets a bonus of 2 HP added on to his max total as well as 1 point more onto his Vitality). Not a bad system at all, a bit reminiscent of Saga Frontier 2's numerical value Arts system. Game Arts should have kept this on for the other two games. Maybe they might bring it back for the third one.
2699 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a fun and extremely weird game. if I remember it right you had to get pretty far in the game before you were able to save, but the fact that you can die as many times as you want made up for that.

6871 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mischief makers is one of the most underrated titles of the Nintendo 64. It is an excellent platformer with some nifty controls, a large scale secret to unlock, and a lot of unique gameplay. I just wish there was another!
5780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's eye opening to turn back the clock and play the old Final Fantasy games in the light of the remarkable production values of FF X. Each game in the series set a standard for console and computer games that has changed the way today's player sees the RPG genre.
The Good News: If you like RTS games and like to line Bill Gates pockets (no offense Bill) then go for it.
6385 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It seems that most of the people who played this game liked it. And I must say that when I got it, I was expecting a better experience than I got, something along the lines of Rainbow Six with more running and shooting. However, as opposed to most of the reviews I saw, Delta Force was a huge dissapointment. With horrible graphics (Maybe it's my computer, but they didn't even have a strafing animation or realistic grass) and stupid extras as weapons (see the pathetic explosion from a strike) the game was a massive waste of money. I'm beginning to think that everone likes it because it's so cheap.
4159 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When Starcraft came out there was no game like it, and still today there is no game like it. It is a lot of fun. I just wish they would do an HD remake of the 2D graphics. As the title states, this is my favorite game of all time.
Unlockable: Mushroom Kingdom
As for graphics, this game is a bit dated. It's over 5 years old, afterall. You have low resolution graphics, with the main game screen being displayed as a small box in the middle of your monitor. Still, they're sufficient enough that they don't take away much from the game. Also, the members of the band and their appearances and personalities actually fit their music and vibe perfectly (and the music videos actually look like music videos), so kudos to the development team for creating both visual and emotional character realism.
When the Dreamcast first came out, this was one of the games you had to have. Sonic, being the cornerstone of Sega, was expected to be Sega's Super Mario 64. Although it failed to meet that expectation, they did create a fairly fun game. I still think if you own a Dreamcast that this needs to be in your collection. If you don't own a Dreamcast, there is no reason to find one just for this game.
May the Schwartz be with you.
We still have it, and now that we're back into gaming again, intend to
1754 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When it comes to Crash Bandicoot I'll be the first to admit playing the three main games on the PS1 in reverse order was probably a bad idea. The thing is Warped was the only one I had on hand when the urge to play these titles struck, and well, it completely spoiled me. I'm sure people are probably sick of me gushing over it but Warped was an excellent product and it was refined to the point of near perfection that I honestly wouldn't hesitate to give it a ten out of ten in conversation or review.
Overall it feels good and is comfortable even in long play periods. The only problem I have is there is annoying little piece up by the triggers on both sides. Its right in between the trigger and the bumper buttons and there is no tension on the piece so when you switch between the bumper and triggers it can sometimes flip up and your finger will catch it. Not really a deal breaker or a big deal or anything since I plan on cutting it off anyways. Plan on buy another so far after this one falls apart. Will update my review if it doesnt last long.
For anyone slightly struggling with the game I'll give one hint:
1493 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I saw Doom for the first time about 10 years ago when a friend of mine was playing it on his computer....and up until that point, playing old 8-bit Nintendo games summed up a fun day for me. Don't get me wrong, and I'm not knocking some NES classics here at all by any means, but I must say, I fell in love with Doom the moment I saw it. Too bad the (...) was so hooked too that he wouldn't let me play.
Alone,on myst island, you must discover the locationn of "linking books". These linking books transport you to other "ages" where you are in search of red and blue pages. The pages must be returned to their books in the island library- each time you do this, you learn more and more of the story.
As others have said, the basic story of the game is classic Mario: Bowser has kidnapped the Princess, and Mario must rescue her. To do this, he must collect a minimum of 70 stars from the 15 worlds in the game. These worlds are accessed by jumping through paintings and other objects scattered throughout the Mushroom Castle, plus there are 15 stars contained within the castle itself. Although you only need 70 stars to finish the game, there are a total of 120 stars available for collection, and you won't be satisfied until you have collected each one. The 15 worlds have varying levels of difficulty, but each and every world has some easy stars and some that are very difficult. It took me about 100 hours total to collect all 120 stars and rescue the Princess the first time. Each level has a different theme. Some are on mountains, some are in water-filled caves, and there is one set inside a giant clock. My personal favorite is the haunted house level.
These game's graphics are good for its time.
5089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unreal Tournament (UT) vs. Quake 3: Arena (Q3): I've played them both for some weeks now, and the conclusion is that UT is by far the best. It's two great games, but UT just have more "bite". The maps are much, much better made, and the bots are more intelligent. The graphics and sound are more or less the same, it's just a matter of taste.

3550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just bought the Dreamcast a couple years ago, and still one of favorite game systems. I have a snes,Genesis,N64,Playstation 1 & 2 and a xbox 360, most of these systems are great,but the Dreamcast has the best 2d fighters and arcade that I remember playing back in the day when they were popular. I have a lot of the games I use to back in the day like House of the Dead,Soul Caliber,Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Capcom vs. Snk are just a few that I own right now. This system is still really good because the Dreamcast has hardware similar to the NAOMI arcade machines so most of the games are almost identical and some are better than arcade like Soul Caliber.
3) You can raise sheep! The money comes from their wool.
I really don't get why they would release this set so close to the guide for A Link Between Worlds. Did no one have the foresight to either include a blank spot for the new guide, or actually include the new guide in this set? In a way it makes the set feel instantly out of date right at release. But oh well, not that big of a deal. I will be purchasing that one separately before it also becomes sold out everywhere and triples in price like Twilight Princess did.
5243 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This just came out for the Playstation Network and I purchased it and played it for the first time. I'm really blown away at just how beautiful it is. The scale of these levels is massive. This is much different from the current Tomb Raider games. There are tons of places to explore. You can almost get almost get lost. But it's also easier than the Tomb Raider games that came before it. There is less switch pulling or block pushing which is fine by me. This is probably my second or third favorite Tomb Raider game for the Playstation 1.
It has 800 blocks of memory! That's like having 4 VMUs in one!(Just without a screen)
The enemies are unique. Aside from the typical goomba, you have turtles that explode when jumped on and giant Easter Island heads with tiny arms rushing at you. The Even world boss fights require a unique way to fight in that you are in a plane or a submarine and firing missiles at the boss while avoiding its attacks. Mario not jumping and throwing fireballs? Different but AWESOME! Not to mention while getting to the boss you are pushed along the side scrolling screen avoiding obstacles as enemies rush at you firing all the way. It's Galaga done sideways!
3292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game ranks pretty high with all my other games I have and I have a lot.
BAD:

Sonic Xtreme was going to be 3D, but it was cancelled.
What you do is start a new game in a fresh slot, (erase if you none free) then enter your name as ".Wampa..Stompa" and note the case sensitive, and the . before and in the middle of the words. There is a space at the start, and 2 between Stompa. It is case sensitive, so make sure you press the L button to change from upper case to lower case. Then ok it all and start the game. Press pause as soon as the level starts, and on the pause menu, hold down all the c buttons, the L, R, & Z buttons and left on the arrow pad (hold them all at once together. Then while holding them down, move the control stick to the left for about 5 seconds, you will hear a noise. Then hold it right for 5 seconds. Then left, then right, then left for the same time. And you should get pink writing come up.
you could also have internet access just like the sega saturn..which was also a plus..keep in mind this is way before Microsoft's xbox live service and sony's playstation online network folks!
5244 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, Im a goldeneye fan, and I thought nobody can do it like James Bond, but even playing it for only 3 hours, Solid Snake can really hold it down. There is alot of pure action and drama, and in parts, its like you are playing in the movie. The sound effects and graphics are excellent, and I like the red laser on the guns and the radar. Solid Snake has more gadgets and better moves than Bond. When you think about it, the overhead cam does help you see around corners The controls feel awkward at first, but you learn quickly. Overall, This game is the Goldeneye of the PS and get it now!!
******Black Isle Studio's games are some of the BEST RPG's ever made. You can't go wrong with this game!
The multiplayer is great, and there are plenty of great modifications for this game. But if you don't have a broadband internet connection, don't think about it. This game revolves on a good internet connection.
5693 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 If you want yet another dogfight game, here it is. If you want a game where you feel as though you are commanding a starship, as depicted in the Star Trek movies, you had better pass. Cut scenes? Wow, impressive, and with David Warner no less! Graphics? NONE BETTER! Neat way to blow stuff up? Oh, yea! A great game for those under 30 with cat like reflexes. No cunning needed here. However, you had better be more practised in an immelman turn than the corbomite bluff if you want to suceed at this game, and that precisly is the opposite of what is advertised.

5494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game!
In all honesty, Shadowrun is an console RPG that is as unique as they come. It is fairly non-linear, since you can accomplish sub-plots in no particular order. You select one of three classes: a samurai brute, an agile mage, and the hacker. Instead of increasing in level, you can (and must!) tweak your atributes and the pre-equipped skills with Mana points, which accumulate slowly over time (preventing overkill). You can hire partner Shadowrunners to cancel out your failings (hire a mage if you are a warrior, or hire a proficient hacker-class character if you are a mage who doesn't want to get "equipped"). If you have the equipment, you can even go into the 3D virtual reality and hack private files for some extra funds (that is, if you can avoid the traps!). You can ally with gangs and hunt hellhounds for pelts. Since Seattle and its surroundings are the "overworld", the game places an added emphasys on plot. There are literally dozens of unique character throghout the game: innkeepers, "contractors", gang members, everyone you could think of in a megacorporation-run, dark-future Seattle.
Pros:
The visuals, though not upto current standards, are quite adequate. They don't need much improving at all. The sound effects and voices are quite crisp too. Also, prepare for all the gore you crave for, whether it be bashing up a "quillrat," a "sabercat" or one of the game's many bosses. There are various skills to be learnt which are unique to each character, as well as various shrines that refill life, magic, increase your combat skills or improve protection temporarily (plus a few more).
Pros:
7689 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best game ever made. Mario and Yoshi. I love that you can ride a dinosaur horse ;) 90s teen classic. Great condition.

This was (no doubt) my favorite game of all time, cuz I just love playing adventure/platform games. This game is not easy to beat if you want to complete it 100%. There are time trials for almost every level and cool mini-games. It took me over a month to beat the game 100%, but I'm just an average gamer. I recommend this game, cuz it's fun, exciting, cool, and CHEAP $$$!

Be careful out there I would if I was you take It slow
It played similar to the original Zelda with an overhead view of your surroundings and at each end of the world, there was something different including an Alternate world when you used the mirror!
- An upgrade over the original, which was considered a great game
4) You can play this game as a hack and slash or with more panash as a wizard or Thief. Or you can play the game as all three, although your character would be too weak to be much good in endgame.

But now we have the internet so it's not that big of a deal.

5542 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you're a fighting game fan (and don't need an arcade stick), you basically need a pad with six buttons, and this is the only good choice. It's easy to program (and comes preset to most Capcom games anyway), and the analog stick is much firmer than the Sega one (also good), but unfortunately anybody with small hands will HATE this. It's really big, and the buttons are laid out badly (instead of repositioning the original 4, they stuck on Z and C). The D-pad is very nice, but the buttons don't go down easily. All in all, though, if you absolutely must have the extra two buttons (which you do for most Capcom stuff) this is the best option next to an arcade stick. Otherwise, don't bother.

8 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked it and had fun with it, played for a while and got my money's worth. You can certainly go further than I did but I got frustrated with the fact that here we are in this new start and still taking from the earth rather than living with it. Better than simcity in that respect and maybe the best we could hope for.
Other than that, Donkey Kong 64 is great fun. Even if you don't manage to get through the whole game, it is a very worthwhile title and surely a great value, especially now. You won't be disappointed with Donkey Kong 64, unless of course you're currently enrolled in an anger management class.
4806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great classic game!
Graphics-Ouch. This is the reason I took off a star. Compared to the graphics of this day and age, these are just painful to look at. They look more like oil paintings than they do graphics. There are 3 characters to talk to in this game, and they are real people that the creators put as actors into the game. They look fuzzy and out of place in background.
8851 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I could never take the first Kirby's Dreamland seriously. It may have been the start of the franchise and all, but that's all it was to me. Five incredibly simple and small levels always left me hungry for more; and it didn't help how limited Kirby was (abilities wise) given EVERY other Kirby game. Now I first played Kirby's Dreamland 2, then a little later in life the prequel; so that is the basis of why I feel the way I do about Kirby's Dreamland. I'll just say this game builds heavily upon the first with promising improvements. You get more levels, more things to do, an arsenal of abilities (idea taken from Kirby's Adventure which is the cornerstone of nearly every Kirby game), and three wonderful animal friends to add more variety to your attacks while lending a helping hand in a bigger and more vibrant world. It's not just about gunning through quirky levels and chewing up and spitting out the bad guys this time - there's a more sinister evil to confront and you'll have to earn the right to face it. Instead of just clearing levels, there are seven trinkets called Rainbow Drops needed for completion of the game and story. What does this mean? Well, aside from giving you much more to do than the previous installment and more of a story, this fetch quest is essentially an achievement system in itself which proves that it doesn't hurt at all to give gamers MORE to look forward to. On a different note, more abilities equals more variety in game play and what Kirby can do. Kirby gains additional skills called copy abilities. You'll get to hack and slash enemies, shock the hell out of enemies, and much more! Couple your amazing copy abilities with your animal friends for even more variety and fun ways to mow down your enemies! Your animal friends themselves have their own ability to inhale and hurl enemies away like Kirby, but they are better known for providing their own version and strength of Kirby's copy abilities. Aside from these additions and much needed improvements, the music is absolutely unforgettable and classic, just like the first game; although I find it to be much better. In fact, I consider this game one of the best sources of Kirby music ever - it's that good! There's also an unlockable sound test and boss rush mode to enjoy in this timeless gem.

I really have no idea what went wrong. No, not with the game, I mean, what went wrong with ME. Seeing as how I love watching people fight and kick butt on TV shows and movies, I figured it was only natural that the fighting style in the world of video games would appeal to me. Appeal to me a LOT. That was my assumption. But apparently it STILL hasn't happened. Tekken 3 was supposed to help me wash away all the bad memories of playing old Mortal Kombat games and give me a fresh start and hopefully help me develop an appreciation for the ever-popular genre of games known as "tournament fighters". Nope. It's really disappointing to me to find out that Tekken 3 is just as bad as the rest of the fighters I've played, and basically the same thing but with improved graphics, for that matter. All fighting games feel the same to me. It doesn't even matter if they are 2D or 3D fighters.

I give this game a rating of a (KA) if you what I mean. It's got blood, weapons, deadly cool moves, out going stages, you can throw things at your foe, fatalities are so gold I can't even describe them, & in the end, it's still the same standard Mortal kombat we know & love, but in that old school 3D that is just great, especially for the N64 . Trust me, I've played mortal kombat 4 at an arcade in an old movie theater & liked it so much I knew I had to get for my home system to paly with one day. Trust me, you will not regret buying this game. Buy it now! What are you waiting for?
Sprite size is restrictive and it does feel like the game might have been able to do more w/ a smaller Samus, but that's the only real knock I have. Well, ok. The low life beeps are annoying too. But you can remedy that part yourself at least.
This game is so fun, I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH FUN THIS RTS GAME IS!!!!!
-New parts system.
The only downside is there is not as much control as I would like when it comes to making your own campaigns/scenarios. The fun part of that the heroes from the campaigns can actually be put into your scenario. William Wallace, Joan of Arc and even King Richard the Lionhearted.
8003 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Words cannot express.
But not as dramatic as sons of liberty. Meryl was an awsome character too. Snake has feelings for her but he won't admit it and more complications occur. The game is one of the best games I have ever experienced in my gaming time. The BOSS battles were awsome.
7969 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really fun game i have it on my Nintendo Wii that i downloaded from the Nintendo eshop but i wanted an actual copy for my Snes and I'm happy that i actually bought a copy. This game is so fun and a little challenging and it's great to play with friends.
So yeah....it sure is an improvement.
The story line is good. However, you will switch between sides during the play. It gets a little strange at times as you invade and set up a base. Then the next scenerio you play the otherside and are supposed to destroy the base.
Sonic the hedgehog has great music sound effects and great gameplay this game was so awesome they made a sequel to this game thats better but this one in my book is a 10/10 for the sega genesis.
9754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A lot of people love a good driving game and I'm no exception. It's fun to push the envelope in these games, and this is a classic.
- And after each amount of turns play out, you get a cool little cinema of victory if you win.

Go to 3drealm's site, download the 1.05 patch. Solves everything.
use. You kick alien ass and take names!
- There was a rumor that you could unlock Akuma from Street Fighter Alpha as a playable character, but that is not true
Note: I gave this game 5 stars while comparing it to other space shooters. This is not really my all time favorite.
1937 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My first experience with the Resident Evil series was with Code: Veronica X. I was severely disappointed overall with it, and from what I've read, the whole series is the same, so I had little to no faith in it. I didn't feel the need whatsoever to play the other games, and openly spoke out against the series, even though I only played one game. But, after playing Resident Evil 4, I got intrigued by the story, so I decided to try out Resident Evil 1-3. I thought, "There's no way they can be worse than Code: Veronica, so why not?" And good god... was I right.
And for any newbie out there who is trying to get into the series, if you have a gamecube and get the remake of the original and start with that...then 2, 3 then Resident Evil zero which is a really enjoyable Resident Evil game...Well
You play as the quiet lone wolf, 17 year old Squall Leonheart, a member of a group of mercenaries for hire known as SeeD. SeeDs reside in academys known as Gardens. When an evil sorceress gains the trust of President Deling and the people of Galbadia, Squall along with fellow SeeDs the perky Selphie Tilmitt, the loudmouthed Zell Dincht, the ladies' man Irvine, and the recently fired 18 year old instructer Quistis Trepe set out to assasinate her. Along the way, the lively and beautiful Rinoa Heartilly, a member of a resistance faction known as The Forest Owls teams up with them. Along the way, she struggles to bring down Squall's icy exterior and help him voice his feelings. The plot soon throws many curveballs, eventually bringing forth issues such as romance, possesion, time compression, prison abuse and escape, and traveling into the future.
208 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So much more storage space, love it.
4186 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a classic. It got me through middle school. However at this date and time I would recommend just preordering Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. :)
8130 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is based on the pen and pencil game of the same name. It keeps more to the game play as the pen and pencil game more than the SNES version, which has a totally differnt story line. This is a very fun game to play. I just love the cyberpunk genre. You start out as a dead beat, spending your last cash to go to Seatle to find out why your brother was killed outside a shrine. Well, with back rent due at the motel your brother stayed at, you gotta make some fast cash. How do you do that? Dive into the shadows and become a runner! You will encounter magical creatures and beasts, as well as gang bangers and cops alike. Surf the net to download info, or run the streets. Your choice, most likely you'll do both. I pity the person who misses out on this truly great game.
842 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!
But, you want to know about the characters and monsters, don't you?
6539 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game thanks!
Lovingly called XG by its developers, the game pits up to four players against each other in insanely fast cyber bike races down tracks that make Six Flags look like a golf course. There are more than a dozen magnetic tracks, bikes, weapons, boosts, loops, drops, corkscrews and jumps -- but if you had to choose only one trait that sets XG apart from the slew of other N64 racers, it's SPEED. The game is very, very, very fast. And most of time, that's what makes it fun. It's evident from the start that the developer, Probe, tried to make Extreme-G live up to the high quality marks set by other N64 racers (no, we're not talking about Cruis'n USA). And while it can't quite compete with the graphics, physics and control of Wave Race and Top Gear Rally, it is a solid and well-designed game that is sure to appeal to action and racing fans alike.
4614 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm surprised at the number of reviewers who found this game disappointing. I found it to be a challenging expansion pack that significantly raises the difficulty level over that of the original. No, Tales of the Sword Coast doesn't extend the story line of BG, and, no, the story line doesn't even FIT comfortably within the original BG plot. And yes, Tales IS basically an add-on that simply allows your characters to increase their experience points and find new items in the process.
1)Improved gameplay details. A lot of games weather you know this or not offer very fine gameplay oriented details not available without extended memory. Most games are capable of improved framerate (improves quality of onscreen action. Prevents slow down effects when a lot of on screen action is occuring for example.) Programers can implement more textures and details to environments and characters making things look more lively or life like. AI (artificial intelligence) can be improved and become "smarter".
Now 11 years later, starcraft 2 is coming out so I decided it was time to build a whole new i7 computer to replace my 5 year old Pentium 4 rig. I also picked this game up to try and beat it again without cheats but also to refresh my memory of the story. Amazingly however I somehow have become good enough that I managed to complete the whole game. Honestly it felt like a real accomplishment and I was very happy about it despite knowing in the back of my head the ridiculousness of my happiness.
Valkarye. These ships fire missle(alot of missles) at enemy air units. One can be dangerous but a group of them can be devastating to enemy fleets.
Buy.
10/10
28 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 DiRT 2 was like this. I'm becoming more & more suspicious of games like this that require a continuous open Internet to play. It just seems like bait set out for some young naive prey to fall for. Does anyone honestly believe that personal information is collected for no particular reason? I don't care what they say publicly. Any assurances of privacy protection are quite hollow without close oversight, and nobody's looking. It's quite a different thing to knowingly step out into a multiplayer server where you know you're being tracked, but this type of continuous spying is something more. That aside, this carrot on a stick has more problems than just security.
Cons: The game freezes when playing the last scenario might just be my game, a problem with patient sometimes getting stuck, can get boring after awhile but I go back to play it on and off. Overall I really enjoyed this game and wish that they made a Theme Hospital 2 or an expansion
8574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey kong is my all time favorite game ever. I am having no problems with the game at all. It works as it should. Very pleased with my buy.
8819 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of my favorite games growing up. that first boss literally scared me due to his overwhelming size. crazy to see how far games have come when compared to current games.
3341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pac-Man World is a great game for Playstation and Playstation 2 owners. You get 3 modes of play including the original Pac-man game, as well as a 3-D adventure mode, and a 3-D over the top Dot munching game. All 3 are very fun to play, which makes this game a very good value.
One reviewer had a good point when he said the dragons you release from the stone do give you some pretty redundant advice such as telling you how to glide after you just finished gliding to reach the little booger! But you can interrupt them which I always do so no biggie. The mini-games are fun and even though you don't have to complete them to finish the game there is a part of me that always has to complete the game 100%. I will hunt down every gem, every egg and every pink egg from those annoying blue things you chase.
It should be said up front right now. JPRE is the most unintentionally silliest games i've ever played. All the little factors add up to create an experience that is so silly and so dorky in all it's aspects that one can't help but chuckle when you look back on the experience.
2132 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought a used, official Nintendo brand expansion pak and used instructions found on Nintendo's website to install it. Terrific little bit of retro hardware.
8022 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 need I say more?
Excellent control.
While V is merely playable for the Job system and the fact it's a FF game, VI is required playing for an RPG fan.
First Kirby game,
4899 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Suikoden remains one of the PlayStation's finest early role-playing games, a pleasant mixture of traditional RPG gameplay and strategic planning. This sequel builds upon the respectable framework laid by the first title, adding a far more complex plot and refining the game's graphics. You assume the role of a valiant lad in the midst of a brutal war, and you are fated to reunite the 108 stars of destiny to end the strife encompassing the land. While its predecessor features a few mini-games to dabble with, Suikoden II assaults you with an unbelievable assortment of diabolical diversions. Several games of chance, a rock climbing adventure, and an Iron Chef-style cook-off are merely a few of the many ways to extend your gaming experience. Role-playing fans looking for an exceptionally deep and lengthy quest need not look any further, for this game has precisely what you need.
8061 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I can't take Star Trek. I used to love it, but I try to watch it now, and...no. Can't do it. I liked the original series, and Next Generation was pretty good for a while, but after Roddenberry died, everything fell apart. Deep Space Nine is just a badly disguised clone of Babylon 5. Voyager was boring, uninspired, repetitive, and flatter than a piece of paper. It should've been cancelled years ago. Enterprise? Please. Even the UPN executives couldn't keep that thing going.
Super Metroid expanded on everything that made the series so revered by introducing brand new elements that appeared in future Metroid games (save portals, map system, new weapons and missiles.) This game is huge so it will keep you busy for hours. The graphics and sounds are excellent and showed what the SNES was capable of. The controls took advantage of the SNES controller since it used every button but after a few minutes, you can control Samus without any problems.
8894 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fourteen years ago, I began playing video games on a daily basis, ranging anywhere from the mindless first-person shooters to the more complex and enticing RPG's the world had to offer. I grew up with the classics, and now that I look back on those days, I'm proud I did. But there was one game, among them all, that triggered the gamer's flare within my heart. It was the first game I ever played by myself and finished at a young age, and it ranks as #3 on my Top 10 Best Games of All Time list. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the game that started it all for me: Illusion of Gaia!
7908 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was the first game I picked up for the N64 when I initially got one.
Final Rundown -Overall this game was perfect at the time, it was also nice to see a story based Mario game. I highly recommend this game for those of you that own a Wii, you can buy this game now on the Wii shop channel.
990 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is the sequel to Turok Dinosaur Hunter that not only surpasses that game in it's greatness but is my most favorite game in the series of four games that came out on the N64. Everything that made the original such a great game to play was improved upon, especially in the way of graphics. With the expansion pak, graphics had 'almost' a Playstation 2 quality to them. It's something that showed with this game. It showed in the textures of the environments, the details of the architecture, lighting effects and other eye candy. The game was also bigger and better than any other game, with the exception of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in it's 32 meg cartridge. As you've probably read in the courtesy review, it's been stated to have over 45 hours of playtime. While I don't know about that, personally, as I hadn't checked where I stand within the game..one thing I do know is it's one lengthy meaty game to sink your teeth(playtime) into.
7048 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A solid FPS. Some people prefer 007: Goldeneye over Perfect Dark. I love both games because they were made by the 90's gaming powerhouse studio known as Rare. Perfect Dark was no exception - Rare had struck gold again with this game.
FF- Choosing party, and character sprites in battle
The graphics look amazing on the old-school Game Boy, and the sound effects/music are just as spot-on. You would think that by then, since the Nintendo 64 and Playstation systems were out (Oh, and Saturn), the monochrome graphics and sounds would be weak by the years' standards, but nope (And the Game Boy Color version has....color!).
5263 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quake and Unreal and Half-Life are all excellent games, but most of the time in these games you are expected to be bold and crazy. You hold a shotgun, and run and dash, shoot everything that moves. But in THIEF, If you act like you've always done in Quake or others, then, the game will be over (i.e. you die) in a very short time. In THIEF you must walk slowly, stop and wait, think the next step, retreat, sneak, hide, listen, assassain,....This is really a great game! This is totally for connoisseur, for those who had been tired of run and shoot blindly, for those like tactics for those who can wait and are sly enough. In THIEF It takes much more time to complete a level than other 1-person action games, but it deserves. Never had a game make "wait" a fun and exciting thing, and now THIEF succeed.
This lack of productivity in the genre left me searching for older games in the field that I had never played. I found Sanitarium online for relatively cheap and ordered it........I was not dissapointed........It is by far one of the most imaginative storylines I've come across. The gameplay is perhaps too easy for the most part, though there are some moderately tough puzzles to figure out. And while the voice acting ranges from horrible(unfortunately the lead is the horrible part of it) to slightly above average(the children of chapter two were extremely creepy), it makes up for its other deficiencies with an incredible story .
As a result, the game is somewhat bizzare. Ingenious and silly creature designs freely mingle here; from the old standby of the zombie to the skeletons refitted with World War I era helmets, the common enemies of the game look a bit too garish and outlandish for my taste. I like a lot of what is done in this game, and some things (such as the "cut-up" AND upside areas in the final stage) haven't been done again anywhere, but the game gets a bit far off track at times.
5674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goddamn I love this game. It's not even that good, but I'm so in love with it. Just let me say: Phenomenal soundtrack. This music is goddamn incredible. I bought the soundtrack separately because it's so good. Other than that, classic Final Fantasy with some new twists. Junction system is fun but can be boring if you're trying to beef up your characters. Monster-level scaling makes leveling up pointless, so you are forced into the boring draw system to get good junctions. Other than that, the gameplay is fun, the story is pretty good up until Disc 3. The story isn't so bad on Disc 3, but there is much less fighting and a lot of talking. And then Disc 4 s*** just goes haywire and nothing makes sense really and everything is cheesy and weird. Still super fun to play throughout and the music, like I said, is always incredible. Definitely worth a play if you are a Final Fantasy fan. I've played through the whole game upwards of 5 times and enjoyed it each time.
6319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me put it straight for everyone. The Nentendo 64, (or N64 as I call it) was the greatest system of its time and then some. Not only was it's technology super advanced for its time, the game selection was outstanding. My mom and step dad bought me the system Christmas of 1996 with my first game being WCW vs NWO. I have had it ever since and still play it often and it has never had any problems with me. Thats almost 20 years of playing! Try doing that with a PS3 or 360.
3610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My brother and I,bought a Dreamcast last two week ago because of the price went down,so when we hook it up the console the first game we got was SuperRoundabout San Francisco Edition and Street Fighter 3 Double Impact. The 128 bit graphic look amazing,is a bright sharp graphic we ever seen. Dreamcast graphic look better then N64 we own and the best thing about this console that is small. Is amazing this little console can do like you can use has a internet which million of people know already and a cd audio too.
3423 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I cannot believe this console failed, with such a large and promising library of games, how did this thing flunk? Received with minimal wear. I wiped it down before use, and it looked good as new.
The first stage has snow monsters and a dark lil room
8187 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 10 star would buy from again thank you.
While it took me several times to go through the game (and beat it) which for some people who don't understand the story will have to play it through a few times. The thing that people get most confused on is the materia setup. While it was easy for me to grasp some people were like 'huh!?!?' It's like trying to teach a cat how to drive. I thought this concept was easier then some of the FF games that came out after this one. But yet again, easy for some, hard for others.
2749 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I didn't even play this game and I don't own an N64, but because there are so many bad reviews I will just give this game another bad review so people won't buy it since it's supposed to be the WORST GAME EVER.
9618 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A very solid FPS. I very much enjoyed 90% of this game. Like Half-Life, it has a good story line and great weapons. This game also features some good weapons balance -- it only allows you to have a finite amount of weapons and the ammunition and health can be sparse (especially towards the end).
8478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The cartridge is delivered on time, the condition is very new and the pins are well-maintained and undamaged. And most importantly, when I plugged it in, it WORKS!!!
2075 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is my first review I've done of a video game. Body Harvest is a game that's very much fun to play. Although I read through the instruction booklet, this game SEEMS tough to figure out as to what to do next. It's almost like having your -own- Johnny Quest cartoon to play. Although you get just one life in your player (sort of a futuristic-like space warrior), you get plenty of chances to re-juice his power. The graphics, in MY opinion are good even though I've heard others quoting that they didn't care for them. Also enjoy the music that starts up whenever the aliens start coming in for the kill. An hour can easily pass by when you play Body Harvest. A good game to own.
It's not necessarily obvious upon completing the game but there are TONS of replay modes and different endings to get. You can play through with a different character, and several different sets of starting stats by entering a different name when you start the game. There are also certain items, like the Duplicator, that are only available after you have cleared the game once.
5826 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Final Fantasy is, and has been for a long time, Squaresoft's flagship product. All the FF products, while not having direct connections to each other, carry similar "themes" -- similarities of gameplay, world design, and so on that make them clearly Final Fantasy rather than something else.
The fact: Looks much smoother and crisp then Sim Theme Park, MANY more shops and rides, TONS more themes to decorate your park, more detail, much nicer to look at, etc. etc. etc. If this game is not in your game library, you are missing the fun. Be sure to buy RollerCoaster Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes expansion pack for many more rides, shops, scenery, and so on.
8436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game, honestly need to remake this game with updated graphics and lengthier storyline with a lot more features on it... It would be the best if they could do it again.
1. Jungle
9790 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was my introduction to the Resident Evil franchise and the survival horror genre, so it means a lot to me. I don't rate games or movies based on nostalgia, because let's be honest: some things just don't age well in the test of time and lose their effect that may have been once powerful in one's childhood. However, I must say: this still stands out as the best zombie horror game ever made. Best survival horror game ever made? That could be debatable with other strong contenders such as Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space 1. However, as far as zombie/mutated creatures games go, this stands on top. It has numerous jump scares and a great creepy atmosphere that leaves you tense while exploring the abandoned Raccoon City police department.
The Half-Life series is absolutely unrivaled. Don't miss out on it! 5/5 stars!
-A world with half-sunken boats and flooded tunnels.
8469 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just wanted to add to my collection. The game works great.
There are two forms of gameplay in this game, the first is an overhead map, where you walk around and talk with characters. Its like an old school RPG where you buy things, search and gain information. Then there is the platformer action gameplay where the game really shines. Its solid, difficult, challenging and enjoyable. The difficulty is how slow you move and the lack of energy. More than two hits and you're don. Of course it can be upgraded later in the game.
910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now that Banjo & Kazooie is over five years old a sequel now exist and there is likely another game coming. HOPEFULLY! The game only for the N64 is one of the most amazing platformers ever. In fact it's one of the most amazing games in any genre period. It took a while to beat the game, but it was well worth it. If your not familiar with B & K, let me explain.. Banjo is a bear with a handy backpack. Kazooie is a bird who hangs out in Banjo's backpack. With the many special moves Kazooie pops out of the pack quite a bit. Together they work through many HUGE levels collecting items like puzzle pieces (100 hidden through out the entire game), musical notes (100 on each level), little Jinjo people (5 on each level), there are also Mumbo skulls to find, they allow you (once you have the required amount) to change form, you must visit the mumbo skull guy quite often. Changing form is mandatory, for instance B & K cannot fit into some smaller places. Turning into an ant allows you to go into a small hole where prizes are not reachable otherwise. Vast and adventurous, B & K is impossible to dislike even if your not a fan of platformers. Even if your just watching, it's entertaining. I'll give you an idea of how effective the story is. BANJO & KAZOOIE is THE WIZARD OF OZ of vidoe games.
SC
Side quests include the wonderful card game Triple Triad, optional bosses, optional GF's, the usual chocobo mini-game (it's average in this FF), and improving your weapons by refining certain items you win in battle, find, etc. This FF will take an average of 50-60 hours; more if you decide to finish everything (which includes leveling up everyone to level 100, which isn't really necessary since enemies level up along with you).
8318 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The game idea was good, but the running and loading lock up the computer or slows it to a crawl.
The multiplayer is top notch, too. You can add in bots as you try to shoot your friends. I prefer Goldeneye because of its Golden Gun mode, but Perfect Dark is right up there for those who lack that preference.
774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game, and playing it now after all these years it's still awesome. Multiplayer on a split screen is still fun.
Awesome weapons based combat.
Of course, there are a few flaws in this game as well. It's very clear that Nintendo was still trying to realize the full graphic potential of the N64. Several of the background images, and even some of the foreground gameplay, resemble that of Super NES games. The background is flat and the pixelization is frequently choppy. Nintendo would get it right not too much later, though, with the release of the spectacular "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron".
Summary: The graphics are bad enough to be a turn-off, but this is the only thing that doesn't hold up well. It's a long, fun game with plenty of replay value. The combat is complex, but it works well and that complexity allows the player to be creative and to try some very interesting things. This game certainly has its problems, but its quality is undeniable and it's rapidly becoming my favorite game.
This game has everything the first part lacked. It has even better graphics. This was the first one of the crash series I tried, and it was fun. Before that, I was hooked on fighting games, like street fighters, and tekken, but they are not that fun after playing it a 100 times or so. In this game you can spend as much time without losing interest.
This was purchased for a friend of mine.
It was my birthday, and I wanted a new console and a cool game to go with it. I remembered getting a Genesis with Sonic 1, and having a SNES felt wrong until I got Super Mario World.
2807 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though I didn't think it would be possible without adding real pictures, the graphics on Riven exceed those of Myst. Every scene is elaboratly detailed and very pleasing to the eye. The sounds and music are much better and sound even more realistic. They also have added more animation. You see more things moving around that makes it seem like you are more involved in the game. They have also added some very cool features such as a roller coaster type vehicle that lets you travel from island to island and a submarine used to travel underwater. The game play is much the same as Myst, but sometimes you have to go to one area and do some things to complete a puzzle in another area. You also have to learn the Riven math system to solve other puzzles which I thought was a cool idea. Ultimately, all these things add up to tougher game play, but this game is well worth it.
4437 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Do yourself a favor.
One of the best games you will ever play, period
7521 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Shooting at the slow walking snow monsters was a blast of the past, great fun to have!
CONS
8878 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is a classic must play. it was the first gameboy game i think. i know it was the one packed with the gameboy.
The game also features the build editor which allows you to create your own 3D worlds.
6860 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 classic game!
The characters of the game are an interesting pairing, but it feels like they never go in depth with them as they should. They have Squall who is a loner, Quistis who is love hungry, Selphie who is adorable, Zell who is a bit goofy, Irvine who's the self proclaimed ladies man, and Rinoa (don't get me started). Squall for me was a realistic character. I liked him a lot, mainly because I was just like him. Squall likes to stay to himself because he doesn't want to open up to other people, he is afraid of getting close to someone and then losing them. He felt that pain as a child and doesn't want to feel it again, so he alienates himself from close relationships with the people around him. Overall, he is really a nice caring guy and he does care about the people around him, but he is afraid of showing his emotions...so he doesn't. It is just easier for him that way.
3023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 According the the Guiness Book of Video Game Records, this game is in the top five best selling games for the Playstation 1. That means that it is also the most common. So why why would this $10-15 game used jump to sky high prices? I am guessing that the younger generation wants to see what all the hype was about and that the dvd based on this game did not hurt demand either... Either way, the game is still awesome.
792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is totally mind blowing, so many areas to cover, hours of play and has awesome amazing graphics and so much more to conquer! 5+Stars *****Buy this game!! It worth the money.
Its too bad I spend 12 dollars on this game, I am going to re-sell it right away and let some other sucker buy it.
5144 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game way ahead of it's time it's a masterpiece I would recommend this to anybody game works like a charm to
Please don't miss out on this game!
Ryu,Strider,Mega Man,Zangief,Morrigan,Captain Commando, Captain America
6955 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
The game play on the other hand is criminal. I don't want to sound like the average game whiner that whines about older games and how hard they were, but I know when a game is being unfair and when I just suck at a game and SA takes the former in astronomic measurements. I never thought Venom or Spidey could take so much damage from wimpy looking thugs, athletic gymnast women who use their hair as whips and headband wearing drunks armed with flintlocks (yes, I'm serious).
- Amazing controls
It sort of did but the pack itself was so heave it made the already awkward N64 controller that much more difficult to control.
It came as pictured, not a cheap knock off.
+ Game play is always straightforward and never confusing.
The biggest flaw in this game is that the developers just didn't have enough time to fully flesh-out and polish some of the later parts. Certain areas are just less expansive and detailed and finely-tuned than others. The game doesn't significantly suffer from what's missing. It just could have been that much better.
Story (5/10): Here's where Grandia really starts to "sag in the saddle", so to speak. The first 1/4 of the game and the last 1/4 are interesting and engaging. I really enjoyed the start in Parm; rummaging through people's houses, reading Justin's diary for some amusing stories, and laughing at the way any alcoholic references were changed to "coffee". Man, those were good times. Unfortunately, it all goes downhill from there. The middle of the game becomes a neverending series of filler events. The first couple "villages in need" or "musty old ruins to explore" didn't bother me at all, but after that, I started to feel like I was stuck on the wheel of karma or something. It just got really repetitive, until I just knew the next village I came to would have to be saved by me from some disaster. Well, what I refer to as the "main" story picked about the last quarter of the game, but it wasn't nearly original or interesting enough to make up for the huge amount of filler crap in the middle. By then, only my sheer will power kept me playing to the end.
1494 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game is okay, well... it is bad. Too arcade for my taste, I owned it when I was 8 years old and it was not even fun for me at that age. The wrestlers move to quickly, the moves are stupid and the game itself is dull after 5 matches.
Voice acting is pretty bad
Next we have the sound. I'd have to say that it is the best sound in any strategy game (although Total Annihilation comes close, in music anyway) The music is very good and fits each race. The terrans have a sort of rousing war-movie-like tune, the zerg have a wierd-sounding alien like one, and the protoss music is appropriately mystical. The sound effects fit the situation. (Gooshy biological sounding suff for the zerg, mechanical for the terran, wierd future-tech for the protoss)
I know this is age of Tekken 5 and Virtua fighter Evolution, but if you can run PS games, BUY SFA 3!
Torment uses the Baldur's engine, but don't be the setting is not the sword and sorcery genre you are used too. In fact to me, it seems to have more of the quirkiness of Fallout2 than the straitforward D&D elements of Baldur's. There are few weapons choices and I've never even worn any armor, but, you won't miss any of that.
9296 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This might be a great game, but I may never know. In spite of having a P3 with 640MB of RAM and a 64MB Graphics card, this game has crashed (frozen) my Windows ME system three times in a row, as I've tried to "play" the tutorial. I've been trying to download a patch all day, and the miserable connection speed eventually degrades to nothing, and then restarts (thankfully where it left off). If it ever downloads and installs, perhaps it will resolve my freezes, but not so far.
6858 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ..this was the best selling Genesis game. Man, I really do miss the Genesis. I mean, for all the high tech, superpowered consoles we have today, such as the Gamecube and PS2 the Genesis had such a simple-charm. The games had great graphics AND awesome playability. Something you don't get together a lot these days.
So, how do I play it?
9565 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game when I first played it when it came out. I have yet to play any game that comes near to matching its incredible story, balanced gameplay, and complexity.
One big flaw however, is probably due to a Game Boy limitation. Remember in Donkey Kong Country whenever you run and jump you actually go pretty far?
Strongly recommended to both Fantasy as well as Planescape enthusiasts along with the Baldur's Gate series.
Alternative modes of gameplay can be unlocked after the completion of the game. By inputting Richter Belmont's name as the user name, the player can choose to play as him; Richter uses a whip as his primary weapon and various subweapons. Two other alternative modes see Alucard as the player character, but with certain items, and increased or decreased attributes.

Stahn is cool, Rutee is probably one of my favorite game characters of all time, Leon's pretty cool, though he...uh nevermind. Chelsea was my optional character, and she became very powerful ..., and she didn't even have one of the talking swords! Not only that, by the time you can get her as a perminant member, her level is so ... low, it'd take hours to level her up to the others. (level 2 when I got her).
You traverse the game on foot and can and will need to revisit locations. Although you are on a base on an island this game has an open world feel because you have free reign to go anywhere you please once you have the sufficient items necessary to get to the locales. Along the way security will increase and a sharper wit and tactic will be required for back tracking especially in the higher difficulty settings.
HOWEVER
The spotlight shines on Sonic. He has 10 levels he has to go through. He has the usuall "run through the level" type levels. Tails races sonic through half the levels sonic has to go through. Knuckles has to look for pieces of the master emerald. He digs, punches, flies, rolls, he can do anything. Amy just runs away from a robot. E-102 is super cool. He shoots things, adding time to the clock. And Big the Cat cruises and fishes the whole time.
2335 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazing quality! I am very impressed!! The entire game is in perfect working condition. I purchased from HTF Media as a collectors edition in very good condition. Definitely recommend!
Controlling Spyro was definitely a problem for me at first. For example, attempting to properly jump on top of the three round platforms you encounter at the very beginning of the first world was NOT an easy task. I kept sliding off. By the way, I recommend you take advantage of these round platforms to get to know the controller. Master the controller before exploring the world. This will cut down on any possible frustration you may encounter in the future.

GOOD:
9672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my daughters took this game into Game Stop to trade it in for a different game without the others knowledge and she got pissed. Now we have it back and paid less then a new one. Now everyone is happy.
3314 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of the better N64 games if you have the 4meg expansion pack and it's good and creepy but some of the puzzles could have been a bit more easy to figure out but if you don't have an N64 get the GameCube remake as the Graphics are much better but still worth picking up and adding to your N64 collection :)
Going through a World Title tournament in Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game takes about 10 minutes. Here it takes about 20 minutes, because you have to compete in more matches. It's not a problem at all, though. If anything, it's better this way, because it's *so* much fun going through all the rounds and whipping out one devastating move after another. Some of these moves are realistic, while other moves are too extreme for wrestlers to be able to perform in reality. For example, the Ultimate Warrior shooting lightning and the Undertaker shooting some kind of demonic spirits at you. It doesn't happen in real life.
You start the game where you must get to your anthill. You start walking around, getting used to playing, listining to Flick talking, following Dot, and killing evil bugs. In a few minutes however, you start to realize something. Flick will not be quiet. He keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on and on with his annoying comments. You finish the level and go on to the next level and keep up this pattern untill the end of the game.

8512 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This legendary title belongs in any sega fighting game collectors library, i own it as well as super street fighter II and wouldnt part with either of them. Must have the 6 button pad to enjoy this game, but thats common knowledge to any genesis fighting game fan. I remember back when this version first came out how excited i was that the boss characters were playable, and this title was when i made the switch from playing as ken nearly always to playing as sagat, the tiger uppercut really nails the oponet for a ton of health. I thought this version really stood out from the snes SF2s prior to super just for the fact of the added playable characters. I always beleived that genesis held the upper had in the fighting game genre, just as the same as snes always held the rpg genre in hand. I reccomend this game to any genesis fighting fan, even if you already own SSF2, i thought the sounds were a lot more crisp in this version than super for genesis, even tho i do love them both. A must have for the collector, no genesis fighting game library is complete without this version, want to make it even awesomer? pick up the genesis 6 button arcade joystick, its sure to please!
You find yourself actually caring about the characters. When something dramatic happens in the plot, you will either cheer or moarn with the characters on the screen. Squall is possibly one of the best hero's in a Final Fantasy game. He is a troubled youth, who doesnt exactly know what he can do to help. As the story progresses, Squall, with the help of his friend's, learns to express his feelings, and even...falls in love.
This CD-ROM did not even come in a protective plastic jacket. I suppose little Tommy's parents wouldn't give him the money to purchase one so he could completely fool the Amazon Dupe customer that he paid good money for a legal copy.
4637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love Fallout, exspecially Fallout 2. I bought Fallout 2 because I play Fallout and loved it. If you've played Fallout before Fallout 2 you'll find that Fallout 2 is a lot more discouraging. It's a lot harder to develop a new character. You'll never reach a point where you're immortal (eg. you can kill anything with ease). But anyway Fallout 2 is still great. I let my friend play Fallout 2 and he had a sleepover at my house just so he could play Fallout 2. Everyone I know loves Fallout 2.
542 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I *hate* this game. Let me state right away: graphics in a WWE wrestling game mean absolutely NOTHING to me. The graphics in WWF War Zone are pretty good (and original, back in the day) but who cares? It seems the only thing wrestling video game fans today are interested in is looking at their television set in amazement because the wrestlers look realistic, and their movements true to life. Who cares? When War Zone first hit the scene in the late 90's yeah, the graphics WERE cool. Not now, especially when the only thing the WWE cares about these days is impressing gamers with realism.
496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's great to play if you have nothing to do well anyaway. The level's are so cool it's get's better each time you go to a new level. Each level have something you must do before you go on. There are alot of little places that you can fine little small heath pack's get those you will need it because there is always someone trying to stop you and kill you O, if you fine anything useful get that too.
One of the most notable modifications to Half Life is the apparently intelligent enemies. Shoot the "dogs" and they'll run for cover and regroup with their pals. Let the marines see or hear you and they'll drop a hand grenade on your head. Ninja's don't just run into you, they jump over your head and land behind you. Crabs pop up at the most inconvenient times. A well designed level and a poorly designed level is differentiated by the "intelligence" of the enemies. Although the modifications are great, they are certainly predictable to an extent. Play the game enough and you'll eventually spot patterns to the enemies "thinking".
And it looks way better than the jaguar
4712 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good game for teenager
It doesn't matter anyway, you don't need you gadgets to take down enemies anyway. The only time it's useful to have even one (the Bat-Bola) is when taking on Two-Face who is surprisingly the only enemy that's difficult to defeat otherwise. Aside from that, the game isn't challenging at all, it's just repetitive. From stage 2 and further along you'll mostly run into the same enemies over and over all capable of doing very similar things. Sure you'll come across a Riddler Thug eventually or you'll fight clowns in the circus stage but none of these enemies have much of anything that separates them from the enemies you're already facing. There's nothing unique, nothing that's visually striking. Two Face is likely the only enemy that seems to actually be different from the onsalught of other thugs you'll face. Even the Riddler (who is the game's final boss, by the way) fights almost exactly like the basic enemies you'll face getting to him.
1210 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I have played this game before and it is very fun! That is why I came to Amazon to order myself another copy of the game so that I could go back in time and enjoy a classic game. However, I bought it from the seller "Warehouse Deals, Inc" and I did NOT get my game and there is no place for me to get in contact with them. Watch Out!

4640 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off, some background. I am not a nice guy. I do not say nice things about games just to avoid hurting people's feelings. If you don't believe me check out reviews of some of the games I've trashed, like Might and Magic 8. So when I tell you that this game is by FAR the best RPG I've ever seen, believe me. Some of the things I liked about it:
2760 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here way before arrival date. Was a gift for my son and he loved it! Will order from here again!
I hate giving away plot points in my reviews, and I won't here, either, but a word of advice from a survival-horror completist - CONSERVE YOUR AMMO. Depending on the ending you get (one of a possible five) you may have to fight up to three end-of-game bosses. And nothing spoils your enjoyment of a game more than having to replay the final half for more ammo.

1870 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Name me one child of the nineties who didn't grow up playing this game, and I will show you an unhappy adult. Spyro was a very important part of my childhood happiness, and remains a part of my life to this day. In a time where all the other young girls around me were playing with kitchen sets and drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, I was kicking Gnorc butt.
597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have got to be honest even if it means sacking my reputation. I have never played a game so much before in my life. I only own the N64 still for this game, I have thrown out all others. This game brings such a Movie like experience along with great missions, craft, and imperial action that I have never seen anything to its likeness. You have got to get this game under all circumstances if you are a Star Wars fan.
While over all game balance is preserved by the fact that your mercs can just take so damn much damage, it still makes game play awefully frustrating. Here you are, knocking yourself out to find good covered positions to protect your guys, and the computer still hits them easily, while you're missing its guys that are out in the open. The problem becomes even more annoying once you start training local militia to protect your villages. Being computer controlled, the local militia also benefit from this huge increase in accuracy, which means that they completely outclass the mercenaries who trained them. Which makes you wonder why they needed your mercenaries to come liberate them in the first place.
2969 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game big fan of ff games, the quality of the game I received was amazing thank you for the entertainment
4382 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game cause I had nothing else better to do. The pictures on the back of the box looked cool and I like these type of games. I'm also a big fan of shoot em' up games like Unreal Tournament and Half life and Rogue Spear. But, I also like good adventure games.
As a kid I could not fully understand the creativity, originality, and nostalgia that FFT gave it's audience so I did what every punk did and trade the gem or sell it at a yard sale along with my melted G.I. Joes, padded knunchucks, and a smashed up Remote Control Cars. Years later I found myself missing something in my life... walking past my 5th dunkin donuts it came to me, I needed caffeine... no that wasn't it, maybe it was the jingle jangles of the near by homeless man's tin can asking for change that sparked my memory as I fantasized about how that man's can turned into a whoopin stick, earning Experience points as he smacked sense into every coach bag toten, super skinny jean wearing stuck up jerk. Poor man just needed a few coins to get by and your on a rush to get home to video blog how you totally walked 2miles today listening to your William Hung's motivational speech... "You Bang You Bang". Inspired by the mad man's rants and tin can lullaby, I high fived the side walk prophet with a double cheese burger and hoped on Amazon.com to see if I could purchase this gem-bot. Not only did I receive self gratification from the games glow as I opened the package, I knew that I had just purchased a timeless video game art piece, a collectors item in which my children will be forced to play if they wanted to be cool.
6178 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I needed to pick up on N64, because there are so many classic games I've never played because I was too young to play or just games I didn't end up finishing.
5523 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the very few Nintendo 64 games that I have ACTUALLY mastered. Rampage 2 is a fun game to play. First, you get a choice between six (6) different destructive creatures to go from city to city to smash & destroy buildings, vehicles and consume people. You get the option of 'saving' the game you're playing right at every five games. Starts out in Denver and you go through what I would guess like about 100 cities in the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia before hitting Area 51, the Moon and a couple dozen planets and asteroids. Note: the wolf moves the fastest while running through a city and the rhino seems to be the most ruthless. Also, if you hit the L button, the blue button and the Z button at the same time, you'll see that each creature puts out their own special fifteen second source of damage. Only downside of this game is it MAY be to easy for some. Recommended.
4426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best controller-type setup that I've seen. The nicest thing about it is that ALL buttons are within easy reach of your thumbs. No hand-removal here folks. Sony was SMART when they modeled their Playstation controller after this one. With that in mind, I feel that Nintendo made a GRAVE MISTAKE with their N64 controller. That controller prefers analog over the digital, buttons that are out of the way, and not to mention, it's as big as your face. No, the basic SNES controller doesn't have turbo or anything like that, but even the super-sized one is small when compared to Dreamcast and N64 controllers.
The super moves are not as spectacular as a Capcom vs. title, but they're still excellent in themselves. They are also not insanely powerful, unless the character has been trained and leveled up a whole lot. Which brings me to my next favorite aspect of this game:
Barrett - when Cloud is introduced to headquarters, Barrett beats on his chest like a gorilla which I found to be a poor choice for the only black character in the game to be doing. However, his overall portrayal may not be that racist, as I only played for 4 hours and many claim he is treated better in the later game.
What is not happening in this game is combat and action. The player is going along for the ride instead of taking a direct hand. There is also not much customization. Character creation is simplistic with only a meaningless choice between three different classes that don't make any difference over all.
Over all warcraft 2 is still a great game and loads of fun. I had known about this game for a long time and finally decided to pick up the $20 version which also provides you with a strategy guide. An exellent value! I heartily recommend this game because you know what you're getting. The concept is ok with the humans v the orcs but almost all my time with this game is one on one multiplayer. You don't have to go to battlenet.com you can also play a buddy modem to modem. How you begin the game depends on the map but usually you start with one peon or builder and a certain amount of resources. You will always need a certain number of farms to feed your people as well as a steady supply of gold and wood. Wood is everywhere but there are a limited number of gold mines and it is around these that you will build your camps. Most of your military will come from a barricks and you make more peons from a town hall. You'll need a blacksmith and lumber mill to upgrade your troops(swordsman,archers,catapults ect.) and from that point you can add specialty forces such as gnomes, mages and flying birds that crap explosive eggs. Note that i'm referring to the human race because i play that all the time. The orcs are very different and frankly quite weird. One of their units for example is a huge beast with two heads that only uses it's fists as a weapon. Both races can make a cool spy plane and a fairly complete navy as well as towers that can be upgraded to shoot cannons or arrows. Oil is another resource that's needed to make some more advanced units. A lot of strategy is required because maps are very crowded with many narrow passage ways. Some maps even start you off completely surrounded by trees so you can't go anywhere untill you cut down a path. I like those maps because it prevents quick attacks.
4737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The good: the music, graphics, level design, difficulty, the weapons/armor, the bosses, shear size of the world. The best in 2D gaming.
791 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
Give it a try, you will not regret it.
8476 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have had this game for many years and to this day I still play it from start to finish. I have played Final Fantasy games in the past. I don't believe any one of them match up to this. I'm talking about the value of the entertainment. Super Mario RPG has no dull moments like Final Fantasy which are long and boring almost to the point of not knowing what to do next. Super Mario RPG gave me reasons to keep on playing it such as leveling up, learning new abilities, having 4 other characters on my team that have never fought on Mario's side to save the world. For the first time in Mario's long storied career teams up with his arch nemesis Bowser.
9919 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was one of my favorites when I was little, you are super humans by the look of your strength and you have to destroy the evil from wherever it is you are. At the beginning of the game a spirit tell you to "RISE FROM YOUR GRAVES"!!!! In this game is a concept I thought was pretty cool, certaun enemies you kill drop power-ups, these power ups "upgrade" your body, you could say. Each time you are upgraded you buils more muscle until, you transform intoa creature. Maybe a wolf, a dragon or a bear! You transform to a different creature each level, first level was a wolf as I remembered. The only problem I had with this game was that it was too short, I beat it too easily, but don't stop that from you getting it. This is still a really interesting game.
- Really good techno soundtrack
This is a slow pace game not for those who like face-paced game. As always, this game is fustrating and after a while, you might get tired with it...
The final battle with Grunty is one of the toughest obstacles I have encountered in a video game and I still have not figured out a way to beat her without the unlimited gold feather cheat.
3074 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF7 is the greatest installment in the whole Final Fantasy genre. It's 3D graphics, badass music, and intense, deep storyline, make it a classic to all FF fans out there. This game really got me hooked on FF. I beat 2 and 3, but they didn't pull me in like this one. This game has the coolest villian in any of the games. Sephiroth's looks, attitude, and sword skills can really kick your ass. The music in this game is also kick ass. So I would reccomend this game to a FF beginner or a veteran because it is absolutely flawless, and i think it's the best game ever made.
2845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is a lot of fun trying to cath those monkies!,plus,I love their characteristics,like "Misses his girlfriend" or "Likes to meditate".
-Gameplay-wise, the action in the series couldn't get any better. There are certainly plenty of enemies and things to shoot, no matter where you go. Most aren't too hard, but they do provide enough challenge so as to keep you busy.
I kind of wish there were more than 2 All-American Creature bosses though
+original and cool graphics
Graphics: Heavily upgraded since Wipeout, 2097/XL's graphics were sharp, well detailed and helped immerse you into the game. Colors radiated from teh screen vs the drab dead colors from the previous game. The visuals by The Designers Republic [tDR] helped give the game that distinct feel that many other racing games lacked. No other game had design flavor that this did and it really did help give this game an identity that more or less shaped the way it would be presented in the future. Where WO was alien and somewhat lifeless, and Wipeout3 was almost atmospheric and bright, this had a dark and gritty feeling.
9196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Too many people are whining about the cheesy. hammy acting in this game. Well, guess what? When I was a kid, we didn't have this much acting in video games. All we could settle for was a couple of minutes of grainy dialogue and maybe some jerky FMV cut scenes. Max Payne is one step closer to bridging the gap between games and cinema. Kudos to the valiant Finns who created this bad boy. Finland is slowly but surely taking over the media world!
Bottom Line: IMHO, this game is IT, the Numero Uno, the King. Nobody's made one better.
You get a nice selection of characters, both male and female, young and old. If there's a complaint about the characters, it's that the females tend to have VERY skimpy outfits that mostly show off jiggly breasts and lots of underwear. The guys tend to have fully covered bodies. Something's not quite even here.
9226 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 (...) Primal rage is a game about seven dino-gods who are set free from their prisons when a disaster strikes "Urth" in the near future. The player's goal is to defeat the other dino-gods, conquer their lands, gain the most number of worshippers and end up ruling the new urth. The concept sounds okay, but the game which follows the story is not really.
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
2388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One word: PLAYBACK. My sister first owned this game in 1998, and since then I have owned MANY Pokmon games for both Game Boy Color and N64. And let me tell you, the original is always the best! Pokmon Red and Blue are the best games ever created for Game Boy Color! I still love these games, trading Pokmon, and battling other people with the Link Cable!
(the strongest mutant in the known world) on your side, and it's really easy to beat him too, but once you get him you'll have no problem beating this game. A great sequel to an even greater series.
5054 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a game! the graphic are just so life like and realistic. I played both this and Half Life and this came on top by far, it was just so much more superior in all ways. The settings are so imaginary. Also the weapons are all real life weapons which makes it even more realistic. By having real weapons you know what they can do so know what they are capable of. But one thing to do is to try in on God Mode and get back to me if you can do it! Its well hard but the good thing about the levels is that there are so many different skill levels to choose from. So you can start off playing against weaker players and when you get better you can test your ability to a much more challenging game! If you have the internet then play it on there, its great but very surprising of how many people are on it all the time so there are hundreds of people to play against and hundreds of different games and types to choose from. If you have friends that also have the game then you can even play on the internet against them, which is a great laugh. The controls and game play are very easy to handle, you can get used to them within minutes. And to top it all you cannot stop playing it and have to get to the next level. I would advise you to get it if you like that sort of games because you will love it like i do!
You can start a career and work your way up to the title of Caesar or you play a scenario and not have to worry about being promoted. In your career, you have two choices each time you get promoted (after the training levels). You can take a dangerous province which has many invasions and battles. Or you can choose the peaceful province which either has none or a very small amount of invasions. Both are balanced out in difficulty, so the dangerous province is not necessarily the hardest province. The peaceful usually has more obstacles and higher standings that need to be achieved in Rome in order for you to be promoted.
AI: The AI for enemies and wingmen in Comanche 3 (for DOS) was not very realistic, but very adequate for the game. Nova Logic claims to have vastly improved on it for Comanche Gold. I will state that it is much better now, but still not perfect. I will simply call it "adequate" and "average". To this day, however, I still have yet to see ANY game - whatsoever - with a truly realistic enemy AI. They're getting closer, but still have a long way to go.
3498 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This review is actually in reference to both the Dreamcast version and the Playstation version. For PS 1, RE 3 offers some of the best graphics available on the system, on DC the graphics are a sore disappointment as there were only minimal improvements, and while it does look better on the DC there are other enhancements that I would have implemented. This game had scared me when I rented it on the PS 1 so bad that I set it aside. It had got my heart racing, the whole running away and running for dear life... and me without a guidebook! Several years later I buy the DreamCast version just to complete the collection, and while waiting for the remake of RE 1 for my GCN I dust this game off and played through it, without a guidebook. This time I didn't get spooked at all. I was up pretty late that night I got scared anyway.
9373 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game maybe hard but with Game Genie codes it is alot easier to play and I really enjoy this game alot and my main favorite Bevaise And ButtHead Game ever made my Friend and I played it together and we both had alot of fun with it and we both beat it and really enjoyed this was the first Beavis And ButtHead game I have ever played and really still have a blast playing it to this day And I have beaton this game alot because of the Game Genie codes for the Sega Genesis is why but I really Recommend this game to anybody who is a fan of Beavis And ButtHead I like the burp and fart effects in this game which is very funny This game rocks and it is just awesome to play for being almost 19 years old I wish they would make a newer Beavis And ButtHead game for the ps3 from the new Season that cameout in 2011 that would be very funny and Awesome as well.
Another cool thing, even if a song doesn't have "harmony" (parts for more than one singer) you can still do fake-harmony as all mics plugged in remain active. However, the back-up singers will not be rated and will actually mess with the lead as the game doesn't differentiate what mic is being used for lead UNLESS there actually is a harmony part. Meaning = if you're just singing to party, you can use all three mics on any song and they'll all just be treated as lead. Pretty cool when you have a room full of mic hogs around the house like we do. lol It's just like when people would gang up all on one mic during a song, but now they actually feel like rock stars having their own mics. For this reason, we just always keep all three mics plugged in and anyone can just pick one up and join in. Just don't expect a good score ;-)

4. N64: In this great stunning adventure, Link must go between two versions of his world. One is when he is young, the other when he is an adult. This is achieved by putting the sword back in its pedestal. Just like in SNES LTTP, Link have to go back and forth to finish the game.
Everyone has his/her favorite RTS and no one can claim that STARCRAFT introduced the futuristic RTS genre (that would be DUNE). Nevertheless, the great, crisp and clear graphics, the balanced units and the strategic terrain all contributed into turning STARCRAFT into a true classic. This is a game that passed the test of time, not only because its aging graphics are still acceptable but also because it is one of those games that stays with you. Forever.
4605 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The single player isn't so great but if you've got access to 4 controllers with duel shock support I highly recommend getting this game and playing a few death match rounds with your buddies
3940 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Apparently the way to win this game is to completely disobey your mission objectives. For instance in the last mission I played (before uninstalling it and throwing it away) I was supposed to pick up a container, protect my mothership by fending off the attacking tie fighters and fly to a checkpoint to meet the rebellion. So I picked up the container and started killing off tie fighters. I got them all. I was killing them as fast as they were replaced. Then I got slammed with a dozen missles from all sides and lost the mission. I never got notification to go to the next checkpoint. The game has a help function after you lose a mission that gives tips on how to win the mission the next time. The tip? Don't protect the mothership. The checkpoint won't appear until the mothership is destroyed. Besides, if you attack the tie-fighters, then your container will get destroyed and you won't be able to finish the mission. That might be okay, except that the game doesn't tell you that you can't complete the mission. Once I just sat there for 10 minutes waiting for something to happen. That was boring. After four hours of finding out that I was supposed to ignore mission objectives and do very little I uninstalled the game and threw it away. My only regret is that now I wonder what would have happened if I had destroyed the mothership myself. This was a definite waste of money and time. After my experience with Rebellion, I am now certain that I will never buy another LucasArts game without playing it first.
1.) You get command to heal party completely for 0 MP
Other than that this game is tolerable considering today's standards. But they will never be able to compete with FF VII's soundtrack, it is beyond competition.
287 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It works only when wanting to, I thought it was initially cause the console was old, so i purchased a new one last week, and it acts the exact same way. sometimes it loads up, sometimes it don't, sometimes it loads up but says its unformated, others, it says it doesn't have enough space for a save, when it has more than 90% of the 128mb still available. and also sometimes it will say no memory card in slot available. This is so worthless, I think I'll rather use this for a databank sort of holder, and just play off of a normal 8mb one, copy and pasting within the ps2 browser option, cause this is to frustrating to deal with on a regular playing basis.
6616 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Those who think VI sucked obviously have no taste and should be banned from RPGs. VI is by far the best RPG ever. While it doesn't have the graphics of the latest installments to the series (remember it was originally released for SNES and the graphics were top of the line back then)it still overcomes all others though the incredible storyline and something most playstation games lack, replay value. Another thing I love is the style of magic use. Although it does not remaing true to the originals, where only mages can use magic, it allows your characters to permenantly learn spells unlike VII with that highly annoying materia ... . The spells and espers/summons are incredible. Enter Ultima. Numerous secrets keep you coming back for more. I could write a book on how awesome this game is, but I will let you find out for yourself. As for V, a good game, not quite up to the caliber of the others. I love it simply because it holds the Final Fantasy name, but I do feel that it is definately worth playing. It is a different storyline in the FF world with fairly interesting characters. All in all FF Anthology is a must buy!
Final Fantasy VII is a phenominal story about an ex-mercenary soldier named Cloud Strife joining up with an underground resistance (avalanche) to help people in the city and stop the evildoers trying to destroy them. later on, after hours of non-stop fun gameplay and twists in the story,
5401 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 For those of you who don't know, you play the game as one of three towering monsters, a werewolf, giant lizard or giant ape and the point is to destroy cities across the world. Sure the original arcade game is a classic, with lots of punching and smashing to offer, however this game "world tour" does not have much to offer in terms of fun. Its fun for about the first five or ten minutes, beating, smashing, punching and kicking, then the reality sets in that this is a tedious game. There are over 100 cities and each city is not just a screen, it's a side scrolling level! It wouldn't be so bad if the enemies were not horrendous! Its not just ten enemies on a screen at once, its about thirty to fifty at some points, shooting, bombing, flame throwing, flying and stomping you. The entire game despite being 100 cities can be defeated in a single day but does have a save feature with the memory packs. There is a nice plus though, lots of moves to learn and master, lots of detail, each city looks unique and features landmarks of that city and it is very educational for children to learn geographical locations. Don't pay more than ten bucks for this game though.

3788 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 SOnic is back and is looking like he never has before. This game is very fun and addictive. It has awesome graphics, and has tons of levels. The only bad thing I can think of about this game is it is a little to easy. You can unlock up to six characters,each with their own adventure. You can play mini-games, and replay previous levels. This is a great game and no one should miss out on it. The short version: Graphics: 4.8 Sound: 4.6 Control: 4.5 Fun Factor: 4.8 Total: 4.7
1767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got this game complete and in great condition. When i played it brought back a lot of memories for me. I ended up beating the game in 3 weeks when i started playing it. Not bad for not playing it in 12 yrs. I deffinetly did not go wrong with this purchase.
The Necromancer is by far the most unique and mysterious of all the classes. He has the 'evil' ability to raise the dead, making the corpses of his foes into skeletal slaves! He also benefits from 2 trees worth of magical attack spells, which do incredible damage if trained properly. However, the ability to raise undead minions to do your bidding is the best aspect of the Necromancer. It may seem at times that you are being SWARMED by an unprecedented number of enemies on screen at once. all you have to do is continue to train your summoning skills, and soon you'll have your enemies on the run with your own personal army of the undead!
4583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i really enjoy playing the game even if it freezes on me every now and then but i have lots of fun trying to beat my friends on the game
You end up using the elements as magic and you mix and match to kind of make your own play style.

The story, always the same in the core Mario series, is simply that, while Mario, Luigi, and the Princess are on vacation to Dinasaur Land after the events of "SMB3", Bowser and his seven children kidnap seven dinasaur eggs and also abduct Princess Peach. It is up to Mario to free the Princess and rescue the dinasaurs. Don't worry though, the story's not important. Mario is never about the story, it's always about the gameplay. And what gameplay it is!
3126 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My cousin was a HUGE RPG fan before I was and one day I got money for my birthday and I went uptown and he came along. He saw Final Fantasy VII on the shelves and bugged me to get it. So I eventually got it but found he was playing it more than me. So when he wasn't around, I sneaked and played his game and I got so wrapped up in the game I forgot I was still playing his game and he missed some plot elements. But I couldn't contain myself cause this was one of the best games I played, and still do, I'm currently on my 8th play.
8178 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect. Exactly as expected.
In the Tails levels you just replay the same levels as sonic but you can fly. The camera and bugs are even worse here.
6355 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I like adventure games, but I like them to follow some sort of logical puzzle solving, so dyou can kind of get inside the mind of the creators, figure out how they think and figure the game out that way. These puzzles are completely illogical, obviously designed to be frustrating, and keep you trying different senseless things to proceed in the game. Also, although the 2D backgrounds were interesting at times, calling this a 3d game is quite a stretch by any definition. Even the 3d cut-scenes were crappy, and the graphics during regular gameplay were just terrible. Supposedly the game made "game of the year" in Europe, they must be pretty hard up over there, now I know not to take that as a commendation.
5637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great game system! It has been my pleasure to own it. I must warn you that although it may appear somewhat red in the picture, it is not! It is pink.
This game rocks
Quick run down. Three Races:
Graphically, the game looks nowhere near as good as its SNES counterpart, but the SEGA team deserves commendation for their visual design in respect to remaining faithful to the film, and the game is faithful enough in that regard that I have a hard time faulting it for its visuals. There are some impressive animations on not just Batman himself, but on the enemies as well. The spinning clown in the descending, broken down building comes to mind, lending a pseudo-3D effect to the game, and the levels themselves do look great, if a bit dark or grainy. The darkness I don't mind; it's faithful to the film in that aspect. The graininess, however, I don't care for. Simply put, there are much better looking Genesis games for the time, but that's almost not being fair to this game. Batman Returns does look good, and there's nothing that grossly offends me within its visual design. Just don't expect it to blow you away.
5281 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fear Effect is a fun game that is challenging and quite good value for just $10. The game is sometimes very tricky though. Some puzzles go beyond hard as the game progresses. The bosses and enemies are already hard in the first levels. The game goes by pretty quick even with the challenge though. Buy this game if you want a good animated action game that will leave you wanting to play Fear Effect 2.
I really loved one of the very first boss fights in the game where I had to keep running and hiding behind buildings because these giant walking blue, red and yellow machines were throwing bombs and shooting laser beams at me. The first time I completed this battle it took a good 30 minutes ONLY for a bigger, badder machine to come in and defeat me in seconds. At first I was angry because the game wouldn't let me SAVE before fighting this fourth boss. "A half hour of work flushed down the toilet" was the thought that went through my head.
Evil empires are a mainstay of RPGs and adventure games. To most gamers, they are things of the distant past. So Final Fantasy VII gives us Shinra, a mega-conglomerate that has dominated the world's market to such an overwhelming degree that it has become the Planet's most influential entity. Shinra is technically nothing more than a business firm operating in (what appears to be) a capitalist system, and yet it has grown so powerful that it has superseded the government of the country in which it has based, takes over other cities (like Junon), and even maintains its own military force. I'll assume you are able to connect the dystopic dots yourself. The themes of this company carry through the rest of the game. Not only does it come complete with it's own evil castle in the form of a corporate high-rise office building, but it's rare to pass a town that doesn't have it's own Mako reactor, indicating that Shinra has the world's energy market in a ball-grip. The parallel's between real-life oil companies on planet Earth are too strong to ignore.
7135 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a pretty fun adventure game i think people will enjoy this game very much. its fun challaging and intense.
The story has 30 missions in all, and lets you control each race (3: Zerg, Terran, and Protoss) for 8-12 mission per race. Each race has strengths, weaknesses, etc... And dozens of things to build. But first, before u can build anything, u have to mine minerals and gas. To do this, u must build Probes/SCV's/Drones. At the beginning of missions, u will get a Nexus(Command Center/Hatchery) (basicly what holds your minerals and gas and makes new gatherers). With the Nexus(Command Center/Hatchery), u make Probes (SCV's/Drones) to gather minerals and gas. Once u have enough minerals and gas, u can build more complex structures. Soldiers, Air Units, Anti-Aircraft guns, etc... As the game goes on, u r faced with how to use your minerals/gas, etc... With your soldiers and air units, u carry out missions. For example, destroying a base, or defending a leader, surviving for 30 minutes, etc.... The thing about Star Craft is, you need to out think your opponant. If the person has anti-aircraft guns and more soldiers than you, you need to get them into a Drop Ship, and perhaps go to the side of their base, drop them off, and proceed. There are so many ways of doing things, and so many things to build, the game really is EXTREMELY fun, and you can find new ways to do things every time. The more you play, the more you will enjoy it. It truly is a never-ending game. And once you beat the game, it's time to take your talent online. Get to that later...
Sonic Adventure 1&2
I am proud to say many people love this game. Many of my friends still play it occasionally, however few have beaten it all the way. This game is solid for 50+ hours of gaming, but only when you are willing to get every last puzzle piece and musical note, and every other item. Some people dislike it, and do not be fooled; a 27 year male old who listens to ultra-hard rock and loves games with extreme violence and/or nudity will NOT like this game. It is by no means for everybody. Many gamers, from preschool to high school will like it, but not everybody.
When you play this game, don't just focus on the graphics displaying seemingly nonsensical surroundings, or the voice acting carrying cries over a setting to help set the modd. Also focus on the meaning behind the objects around you, behind the cries and behind the forms Max(main character) takes during gameplay, because they all have a deep meaning for the character.
5219 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There's nothing new that I could possibly say about this game, other than it's really, really great.
10. good variety of characters fighting with blades, mallets, bare fists etc.
And that is just what lays before you as a distraction. You can just about do anything. The main objective is a deep and character driven story which requires a plethora of other side-quests. So you can quickly see how interactive and time consuming this game will become.
Very Loud
Overall: i am overly excited to own this treasure you get 5 games actually 15 and you can play not only the retro old game and watch way but you can play the modern way for Ex.
6514 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super grate!!!!!!! Never played this game b4 can't wate to get further into it.
The music is awesome and is deserving of its own soundtrack. My favorite music comes from the first stage. It really pumps me up and makes me want the stage to be longer. All the monsters are villains that appeared on the show.
Cons: Flat ground, bad aircraft graphics, not enough flyable aircraft, cant fly the P-38 NO MISSION BUILDER (Deal breaker)
This game was so good it was released as an enhanced port on the Game Boy Advance in 2002 to a new generation of gamers. So if you haven't played this game yet, you can either find the SNES cartridge or get it for the Game Boy Advance. It was one of the best games and sold millions around the world. Find out why as soon as possible. I highly recommend it.
Technical Specs again from Wikipedia,
(3) you can have more allies; you can outfit them with better armor and weapons; all have different personalities which means they may or may not be good in combat; may leave you if you tick them off;
The boss fights are really simple because the strategy required to defeat them is usually something extremely basic and easy to figure out, but that's a minor flaw. That doesn't mean the final boss fight is a cakewalk though- he really tests your ability to move quickly during his final phase.

In addition to having a CD player built into the Playstation console for all your music needs, I have to say the CD player is actually a step above most CD players out there because the one built into the PS1 is apparently a heavy duty player that can actually play through HEAVILY scratched discs without a problem.
6999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ah those X-men. this game is so much fun. how did I live without it? I will admit that the graphics could use updating but it moves smoothly. Dull backgrounds. Fun powers and characters. lack of movies and story.
Here is a complete list of games that are enhanced by making use of the Expansion Pak:
3559 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recently acquired a Dreamcast, and what a system! I can't believe SEGA pulled the plug on this marvel. I at one time doubted the capabilities of this system until I gave it a try myself. The graphics, while not important to me, rival those of GC or PS2. I almost broke down and purchased one of the "big 3", but decided to save my money and go with the DC. I'm not breaking my neck to get an XBOX or Cube, not while I'm having fun with this system.
A great game! This game is such a bargain at it's extremely low price!
The most interesting aspect to these units are their special abilities. Certain units in each race have special attacks they can use to neutralise or destroy an opponent. For instance, the Terran Ghost soldier can fire an EMP blast that can knock out mechanical units. Zerg queens can fire parasites, which attach themselves to enemies, allowing you to see whatever that unit sees. The Protoss have the Templar, a unit that uses a chain lightning `psionic storm' to eliminate whole squadrons of units.
Truly a magnificent masterwork,exquisitely designed by Squaresof working at the height of its powers. Stands the test of Time as this review is posted in 2012.
As for brutalities, who the hell takes the time to flush there life away to memorize twelve different moves just to do one lousy move so a guy explodes? Wow. I never seen five skulls and twenty femur bones pop out of a guy a before. Apparently Ed or any of the designers of this pile of $*#& game, doesn't know a damn thing about the human anatomy. Its bad enough that you have to remember all the fatalities and trademark moves, now this?
Pros:
1548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fun game. There are some better games in the history of PlayStation games,such as Crash Bandicoot:Warped,which is not violent,like this is just a little. But it's great enough to be given at least 5 stars.
7530 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game for a long time. The music and graphics are still pretty good. This game is for every one. The one for Sega I think is more harder and this one is medium. The game gives you lives,bonuses,and cheats as you go along. You can throw apples and jump on the bad guys! With the help of Jenie,Abu the Monkey,the Flying Carpet,and the pretty Princess Jasmine beat Jafar in 1,2,3!

5669 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Although a lot of people liked this game I hated it. For one thing this game was WAAAAYYYYYY too easy (I beat this game in three days playing only 1 hour a day! The first game had me playing for mounths! )! You're supposed to find this fairy to give you all your powers back, and yet you start the game with all your powers! Plus I don't care how good the graphics are, Rayman does NOT look good in 3D and does not belong in 3D! So get the first game, I don't recomend this game to ANYONE!
3702 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came on time works great.
There is also a little feature called Limit Breaks. So if you ever get tired of using summoning's or using magic use one of these. When that little red bar fills up you use that limit skill and blow those enemies away. Each character has 4 levels limit breaks except for one of them. And when you do a certain amount of using one limit you can get the next extravagant limit. With the first 3 levels of limit breaks there are two in each one. But the forth level of limits is the ultimate which you might have to work you're butt off to get that special item. So there is a lot to keep up with in the game play, make sure you don't forget to check for items hidden in secret places, when it comes to fighting every item you find will help.
513 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomb Raider II is the best of the series, followed by the original. After this, the series went downhill. The first level is actually quite challenging! They don't mess around they throw you right into the fire. But it here or on psn, either way get this game
2780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One must keep in the mind the N64's memory limitations with cartridges, and I must say that this is the best port of Hexen I have come across. Sure, there were no improvements with the graphics, but graphics aren't everything. The game plays great with a very good, consistent framerate, and the lighting is very good, despite some complaints about that, and the game plays as well as the PC version, and this is perfect if you don't want to mess with trying to get the game working on the computer, as that requires one to download Dosbox, and fiddle with its settings to get the game working right, it isn't a real pain, its just somewhat time consuming, and this is a great alternative to that. This port is not meant to "improve" from the PC version, it is meant to be a direct port to open console gamers to this classic game, and that is what it does. I highly recommend this game, and whether you get it on the PC or N64, you will not be disappointed if you enjoy classic FPS games with an RPG twist.
The character integration into the story is very poor. When you look at all the character's background stories, it doesn't make sense that they are all working together. If the game spent more time with them discussing WHY they have their common goal of being ECO-terrorists it would fit better. Aside from the fact that they are all eco-terrorists who live in the same beat down community, they really have nothing in common.
- great non-linear story

Like I said, seeing as how fighting games were very few on the 64, I'd check out this one because it was a good one. That and how can you not want to play as Goro or Kintaro? If you're looking for another good fighting game on the 64, check out KILLER INSTINCT GOLD and for you wrestling fans check out WCW/NwO REVENGE and WWF NO MERCY.
Why haven't they made a sequal?
Pros:
The combat is boring. This is mainly because it is incredibly easy. I didn't spend extra time advancing my characters (I tried to finish the game ASAP, actually), so I definitely wasn't too strong. Still, not a single boss offered any form of challenge. Even the final boss felt like nothing more than a ponderous standard encounter. It seems evident to me that a game cannot be exciting when there is no threat...no sense of danger or challenge. This wouldn't be _that_ bad if the battles didn't take so long. So, you get thousands of long, boring, simple fights over the course of the game. The dungeons are amateur in design, and made about 10 times more dreadful because of the combat. There's also a gauge in combat that shows when when each character will take an action. However, this does not create any real strategy because all the characters move at different speeds, so it's just a funky gimmick.

Go out and buy this game!
672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Real official game for just $20! I have the 3DS version of this game so I was curious about the original. I say it's worth the money, unless you feel it's to pricey then just get the 3DS version that's also $20 at Walmart. My only complaint is that it looks a little blurry on my TV. So I suggest if you want the best 64 games Nintendo has to offer, this is definitely a don't miss! I also recommend getting the N64 redesign analog stick, hyper pak plus, and a expansion pak for the best N64 gameplay experience ever!!!
2592 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Since I am a nintendo collector this works out pretty good for me.

7195 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is cool. But you need an expantion pack to play the missions. You need a memory card to play the Challenges and save. This game is a tiny bit like 007 Goldeneye. But it's Story Line is very different. At first,you're killing bad humans. But later in the game you kill Bad Aliens and help good Aliens. It has two levels from 007 that you can unlock in the Challenges, but the actual story line is about Aliens. The good thing about this game is that you can beat the missions with other people. You can't do this on 007 Golden Eye. This is a cool game and if you don't have it then you should get it.
4226 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is one of my favorite games of all time. If you have ever played Warcraft or Diablo, you will love this. Even if you haven't, you'll still sit at the computer for hours playing Starcraft. Now, it's so cheap you MUST get it! This Battle Chest comes with the orriginal game, the expansion pack, and Prima's strategy guides for both! This is an awesome and challenging single player experience, and an even better multiplayer game. I'll tell you some of the background and why you have to buy this game.
3739 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Sonic Adventure is a game that tries to do way too much. There are six characters and only one (sonic) is decent. Most of the game is boring and the rest is usually to broken to be any fun.
I love how complex the combo system is, and the challenge level (although sometimes frustrating) really motivates me to get better and better. If you want a deep fighting game with great mechanics, cool characters, and is a true classic, then this game is for you. This was a gem that no fan of fighting games should pass up.

5017 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the scariest of all time. Fear perpetuates throughout the game at all times. And most of it is genuine fear, not just the cheap scares like something jumping out from behind a corner (but there are a few of those too). I can't play this game in the dark or alone, it messes me up.
Even if no one wanted to add some of the original stages, they should have at least added some of the original vehicles. Nothing has come back, every car is new. Some are interesting, like the moon-buggy's, motorbikes, bug-bug, and a range of other vehicles, but there's no way to enjoy testing them because you cant control any of them. The speed of the cars is boringly slow! There is a code to make them faster, but that only results in worse control of the vehicles. The worst control is when trying to control your vehicles upgrade... You find things on the track that transform your vehicle into some other modified craft. Most of them change into a "Back To The Future II" style Sky-way-Flier. It looks cool at first, but you have no control over it. Also the spaceship from the original is no where to be seen.
6837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fans of the first game must buy the sequel. It's a must have for any platformer fan.
The dungeon part is where the game gets down to buisiness with puzzle solving and monster fighting. You transform into a Knight which is terrific because fighting bosses as a little kid with a flute is weak. Later you take on the form of a liquid metal alien made of pure energy or something. The boss fights are spectacular and the level designs and puzzles are a slice of 16 bit triumph.
1908 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fast service and to be fair ups most likely cracked the case. Missed playing this game
580 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In my humble oppinion this game is better the Quake II. The graphics is better, and the sound is so much better. If you have a Sound Blaster Live! card, then get this game, because it was designed to run on this card.
The Bad:
Pros: ahead of its time,vmu is amazing,controller is comfortable,games are cheap,games still look good,great fighting games
7818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am getting this game in good condition. So in the beginning, Link is awakened by a telepathic message from Princess Zelda, who says she is a prisoner in the dungeon of Hyrule Castle and that Agahnim has done something to the other six girls and now Zelda herself remains. Link wakes up to find his Uncle ready for battle and tells Link to wait for him to return by morning and not to leave the house. I just disregard what Link's Uncle says and head to the castle, only to find him gravely wounded and no longer able to go on. He offers his nephew advice and urges him to rescue Princess Zelda, after which he passes out.
1794 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Lets go back in time to one of my favorite PlayStation icons: Crash Bandicoot. For those who don't know, Crash Bandicoot is a fictional Eastern Barred Bandicoot who was genetically enhanced by the evil Doctor Neo Cortex who then escaped and set out to stop the evil scientist and his plans. Crash would appear in many games, but the ones I hold dear are the original three on the first PlayStation: Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. With that said, lets take a look at the first one in the series.
7484 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hear me out... I have a Playstation2 with a few games...I have this game (Unholy War) for my original Playstation and I end up some how, playing this game more than I do the Playstation2, its that fun. It's such a unigue game featuring battle fields where you take control over about 10 "things" on your team (everything from a Prana, the animal, to a Mech) and duke it out 1 on 1 at a time against the same type of enemy's on the other side. Its an awesome multiplayer game! It even works with analog. I would strongly recomend this game to anyone this Holiday season. Buy it. A+
Music (10/10): What can I say? The music in this game is both evocative and distinctive. The music fits the scenes and conveys mood very well. This is especially true of the overworld music-I feel like the world really is in dire straights whenever I hear it. And let me tell you, the first time I heard One-Winged Angel, it put the fear in me (consequently, I died and had to try again - ha ha!). Anyway, I loved this game's music so much I had to buy the soundtrack!
3378 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 RARELY DOES A GAME COME ALONG THAT HAS IT ALL! LOTS OF ACTION, COOL DINOSAURS TO ANNIHILATE, NOT TOO HARD PUZZLES , AND LOTS OF FUN PLAYING IN GENERAL..AND A VERY GOOD PLAYSTATION TITLE TO BOOT!!I LOVED PLAYING THIS GAME A LOT , AND EQUALLY LOVED '' DINO CRISIS 2 '' AS WELL! LET'S HOPE THEY PUT OUT ANOTHER TITLE FOR PS 2 IN THE FUTURE .AND THAT IS AS GOOD IN ACTION AS THIS ONE , AND LOTS OF COOL DINOS LIKE THE SECOND ONE.THAT WAS THE ONLY FLAW WITH THIS GAME , NOT A GREAT AMOUNT OF DINOSAURS TO WIPE OUT .BUT THE ONES THEY HAD WERE COOL TO FIGHT .. TREX IS COOL , BUT I'M AGREEING WITH MY WIFE -'' RAPTORS '' RULE!!SO IF YOU ARE BORED , NEW TO PLAYSTATION , OR WANT A NEW RARE COOL OLD GAME TO PLAY.THEN LOOK NO FURTHER..GET IT TODAY!!!BUT I SUGGEST YOU GET THE GUIDE , AS IT IS A BIG HELP IN DIFFICULT AREAS ..PLAY ON- AND PLAY PLAYSTATION!!
1655 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a latecomer to Tenchu. Since it is a PS1 game its graphics really show the PS1's age against the PS2. However if you are willing to accept/ignore that difference you will find Tenchu a very satisfying and deeply fun game. This is most definitely one of PS1's best games.
The DC is definetly the best deal of the century. Only for a system with online capabilities, great graphics, and over 246 games, DC IS still the best buy. The games can be found at Funcoland, Babbages, Electronics etc, Gamestop, Toys R Us, and some Electronic Boutique stores. Hard to find? Not in the least.
3849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are games that make their mark most recently Half Life but SS2 steals its crown for me. For any FPS or adventure fan/real time strategy this is a cut above the rest. The plot is amazing and left me half way through the game gasping (yes you know the bit). The progression of your character with various traits is a steop above half life. It may not have the shoot em up feel to it as HL but the thinking and realism is compelling. It took me about a week to complete but this was solid every evening - it did take over my social time wondering what will happen next - its THAT good. The Dark Engine is looking well but will probably look dated soon and the atmosphere created is untrue. The ability to build on certain strengths should be built into future games of thie genre. Its a new thing which works brilliantly. You could go back and complete it using a differnt trait and uncover skills you never before. The interface is cool as is the sounds. I cannot fault this game, every gamer should own this - If your reading this stop and buy it NOW. Looking Glass - You've given us an all time classic
First off, the style of this game is quite enjoyable. Beavis and Butthead are both playable characters. Two players can lead Beavis and Butthead or one player can control either Beavis or Butthead while allowing the computer to control the other character. You can switch at any time, and only the character you are playing as will take damage. In short, the computer will not get you killed, which is a giant relief.
1178 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fans of dedicated single-player "first person shooter" games who've never played this game before should definitely not pass it up. HL takes an utterly unoriginal idea for either games or movies and crafts an utterly unstoppable gaming experience. You play Gordon Freeman, who works in the bowels of an ultra-secret, underground research facility called "The Black Mesa". (Having played the game yet I'm still not sure what's supposed to be going on in BM - it's what happens that matters.) Oozing high-tech, the facility is host to another dimension when you/Freeman accidentally...do something that tears a whole in the fabric of our own - allowing beings from that other world to enter ours.
The game is a little hard at first, but give it a week or so and you will get it down pact.
The PROS: This game blew away gamers back in the 90's and it's one of the few retro games where it has aged well. A side scrolling platform game starring one of Nintendo's recognizable characters meant it was going to be a good time for all and it was. Thanks to the awesome graphics, sounds and music plus tongue in cheek humor, each themed world is filled with stages brimming with enough variety to keep it fun. To cram it all in into a cartridge is a remarkable achievement as nothing was sacrificed. It's fun by yourself and when you bring in another person and the game is hard enough to challenge you but not overwhelm you at the same time. Adding hidden areas and secrets gave it more replay value.
8006 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...I got to try it out at my friend's house and we were ALL entertained.
9669 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome. I'm surprised it's not more sought after. This game has always been fun and is super fun to play again after all these years. It's still challenging too, which is a quality not found in all the games I played as a kid.
facing an opponent one-on-one in a duel until one of the two has their health bar reach 0.
Gameplay: This is one of the best examples of a Side-scrolling Beat' em up. Most games wimp out by just having a punch/kick combo. The combat in this game is very deep, with each character having a variety of different, powerful moves. Add this with amazing and extremely fun two-player action, four players to choose from that all play differently, and you have a game that will stick with you for a while.
6821 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 wish i could save game but other than that it awesome of course it is hard some but sweet i say buy cheap just incase you don't like
2261 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Such a necessity that once I received it for Christmas I got rid of the Jumper Pak for good. The Expansion pak holds MUCH more memory. If you have games that need it ask mom and dad night and day to buy you an Expansion Pak. You really have no need for the Jumper Pak. The Jumper Pak is really hard to get out anyway. I had to use a knife to get the Jumper Pak out which cant be too good for the system but what the hey now the Expansion Pak is in and I don't need to worry anymore.
Once you finish everything, there is a bonus option
The bad:
KOFDM99 has just about EVERY character that ever appeared in an official King of Fighters game. That's a whole 38 distinct characters, if you're keeping score. This is the definitive King of Fighters title, and probably the best for 2-player competitions.
Scary music.
and other goodies awaiting as well. Finally, for those of you who wish to purchase Suikoden III, keep in mind that you may load the save data from Suikoden II as well to open goodies in THAT game!
8586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember getting this game back in 1992 for my birthday, & let me tell you it was a blast! Playing Grand Prix with siblings was so much fun, trying to get 1st place. The graphics are great for its time. The music is beautiful! My favorite track music is Rainbow Road! Battle mode is a blast also. It's so much fun to blow up your other opponent's balloons. Especially having so many green shells everywhere! I don't have this game anymore but I have it for the Wii & Wii U Virtual Console! This is my favorite Mario Kart growing up!
The game also allows a certain amount of interplay with the Gods who prove to be a major influence on the people and thus threaten to affect the prosperity of the city. Planning and dedicating festivals to the Gods seems fruitful and loads of fun. Make them angry and get ready to suffer their wrath. This often leads to shortage of food or unwelcome problems in trade routes, which ultimately affects the citizens. It makes them either unhappy or rebels. The first lot usually leaves the city and the latter causes crime.
5390 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 4 stars because it arrived very quickly, it's a gift for my friend whose birthday is the 19th, It arrived on the 17th so I was VERY happy.. Looking at the disc because I was worried when it said "disc shows some wear from use" and sure it has some very faint scratches (like 2-3 maybe?) but I've seen deeper scratches in ps1 games and they still played. Hasn't been tested but they are obsessed with doom so they will let me know if there's any problems with the games and I will update. So far I'm very very very happy.
While the graphics are 2D and definitely outdated, locations are detailed, and specifically change. Villages will go from standing, to burned, to half-repaired (to a point). Your castle will grow, rather than stay the same (and you will be lost for 5000 hours trying to figure out where everything is). In the cinemas, the graphics are smooth and well-done, though still a bit on the outdated side. Music score is excellent. Unlike Suikoden, which had some music that made you shriek and flee with terror, Suikoden II does not have a single music score that made me cringe or even show signs of discomfort. Each score is beautifully done, and rather catchy too, if, of course, repetative. Despite its repatative nature, however, you can't be disappointed.
6768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
3. The graphics. OK. The game is not new and it's showing its age, but those fleet battles are still pretty cool. They may not be very varied, and at times it's best to just go to the Results screen if you send, say, a Star Destroyer or two against a system defended by one X-Wing squadron....or a Mon Cal cruiser against a single TIE squadron.
+Very Customizable game
A must have!!!
3554 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the Sega Dreamcast so much. The Dreamcast has online and a Gamecube dose not. A Dreamcast is easyer. A Gamecube is more harder. Dreamcast has more better games than Gamecube. Gamecube is just a copy of a Dreamcast. I give a Gamecube a 7.5 . I give a Sega Dreamcast a 9.5 . I wish they haven't stop making games for the Dreamcast.
I use it for all my games but I think it is funniest to use in NHL 2000 from EA-sports. It is great that you can feel that you are getting hit in the fights and that the controller is really shaking when you have lost a fight. Furthermore the feeling when you get a tackle on to the boards is quite funny.
1368 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first played Super Mario 64 as a kid, I was amazed. I never even had the game though. Heck, I never had a Nintendo 64. This game like many other Nintendo 64 titles encouraged me to go out and buy myself a Nintendo 64 16 years after its release. I used to play this game with friends and cousins. Playing it now brings back such great memories. This game is what a game is all about. An unforgettable story, an interesting environment, and overall FUN. This game doesn't get old. In my opinion, it beats out most modern games today. Super Mario 64 formed the basis for all 3-Dimensional video games. If you were considering getting this game, don't consider any longer. GET IT.
This game can be fun for anyone.
In this game you fly the F/A 18 E/F superhornet which is s navy jet take off the carrier shoot a few bandits turn back call the ball and land. Sound exiting well if it is from Jane's it's got to be.
96 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I own Rock Band 4 for Xbox One and I learned that you can add more vocals to tracks. I saw that this was cheaply priced and has a high rate of success from other buyers.
The player assumes the role of and control of Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial agent who turned against the Empire to help the Rebellion against the fearsome new Dark Trooper project. Now, it's five years later and the Empire has been defeated, but Katarn hasn't been sitting on his laurels, this time it's personal. Kyle's father, Morgan, has been murdered and a disk he had made for Kyle has been stolen by Jerrik, the sinister leader of cabal of Dark Jedi whom he is leading with the aid of a faction of Imperial soldiers, to find a world upon which thousands of Jedi fought a battle centuries earlier and their souls are now trapped there. It is Jerrk's plan to tap that power for himself, a transformation that may spell doom for the fledgling New Republic.
5315 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It can get very "stupid" at times, but, there is a lot of fun in the game and many funny parts in it as well. Females might get "offended" by some of the dateing parts in the game, but please remember its only a game ok, even if the game is a bit "pigish". Very good cartoon graphics.

Replay Value:8/10 Hey, you have three different endings and replaying it gives a chance to experience the different possbilities.
9796 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you been gaming on Sony Playstation up to its' successor the Playstation 3, you might have forgotten how to play the PS1 games and frustrating it could get to you. Heard rumors that Capcom is planning to remake Resident Evil 2 game, so if you are a collector or lover of the RE games... you better get the game now and enjoy it. Playing on this game will take me longer than usual.
+ The Games... hands down there was a load of classics on this system.. and they still hold up today... it may be weird to some people though.. do to the time when this came out.. the library of games resembles what you could find on a Playstion or N64 instead of a PS2 or Gamecube... but in actuality... that is part of the charm of this system.. because alot of games.. from that era.. this is the only system you will find a next generation version of.. so you will get to see.. what a PS2 version of some of the great games from that time would look. like. it will bring back fond flashbacks.. and show you.. the updated version.. which makes this the system to own.. in addition.. Sega unleashed Masterpieces that are still in demand.. still highly sought after.. and since Sega went third party.. still played and enjoyed by Video Gamers around the world.. including Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, and Crazy Taxi (Along with several others) Plus truly Unique Games like Seventh Cross.. (Well maybe not truly unique.. Evolution has been done before on SNES.. but it is a rarity) and despite what most fratboys from other systems would say.. actually most gamers would agree hands down.. in total fun, graphics, controls, and playability this is still the only place to get these games (Despite updates and sequels) (The only exception may be Phantasy Star Online, and Skies of Arcadia remake) and believe it or not NFL2K.. along with some other sports titles.. are simply the best sports games out there.. hands down.. no amount of updates with Madden or others can compare to the games you get here.. simply put.. it is the best.. period..
But if you're not too proud to grab a strategy guide or go online, then "Turok 2" will be more fun than perhaps some of us had back in 2000. The combat is still a blast (although the final Primegen boss is impossible without cheat codes). The presentation is sharp. And the Turok world is still very unique from today's overload of military/war shooters.
The game has so many flaw...
Just some of the words that come to mind when I think of Zelda 64.
9818 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ok here is my list of fav re games
- Not enough weapons. Well, there is a lot more then in the last one. But I really would've loved a flame-thrower.
The other thing that makes the Legends series so great is the fact Capcom decided to quit while they were ahead. While I myself still wish they would churn out a Mega Man Legends 3 (considering some of the unresolved issues in Mega Man Legends 2's ending), at least Capcom didn't make a zillion sequels and drain the series of all it's fun and respectability, of which they have done a fine job of doing to the original series and X series.
have the game inserted, please turn the power off and insert the Zelda game into the Shark and try again.
7167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Exactly as advertised
GAMEPLAY:WOW! GREAT GAMEPLAY! There's awesome characters (Donkey Kong, Peach, etc.) and the game is like a little electronic gameboard. with a dice, and spaces (lots) that you can trust.
9002 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Country is such an awesome game. Because you can Travel from World To World completing level as you go, then fight bosses at the end of each world to gain part of you stolen Banana Hoard. This game is a must have game for the family will love to play. The time i started playing it, till the time i was finish playing it was a non-stop blast. The Fun kept going on. Fun for Single Player or Multiplier, either way it's enjoyable and you won't regret buying this Product. Donkey Kong Country along with several other great games for the Super Nintendo make gaming the way it's suppose to be and this is a game you'll go back and play over and over again, and Never get Bored.
9242 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Secret of Evermore... what memories I had of this game. I bought it again here but had to give it up as I couldn't take the SNES with me when I moved from CA... not enough room. Good game though. Never beat it but got close. Great graphics for it's time. I actually prefer these graphics to any of this day or past. These were the days!
The one thing I did not like about this game was the tech tree. I never felt like I was in charge. Only having seven diffrent fractions, (countries) may seem like a down fall but if you stick with one fraction you will become bitter rivals with other fractions.
4528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is something to shout about! Let me rephrase that - These 3 games are something to shout about! Thats basically what you get. The different characters are varied enough to make this a highly original FPS which has features important enough to make it a landmark FPS. It may not be HalfLife or SS2 but its damnright up there with the best of them
Game overal: this game gets a 10/10
But you aren't alone. There are two people who are physcially there for you. One is Meryl, a red-headed babe who just so happens to be your colonel's neice. Then there is Hal Emmerich, also known as Otacon. This geeky hacker gets you out of a ton of sticky situations in this game. Even though they aren't actually there, the people you contact by Codec help you out bunches. The colonel, despite being quite shady, gives you a plethora of tips to get you out of bad spots. Mei Ling, a cute little Chinese girl, saves your game and fills your mind with interesting proverbs. "Master" McMiller is an interesting old friends of Snake's who knows a lot of about the Alaskan wildlife and wilderness. Then there is Deepthroat. This guy is quite mysterious, but very helpful. Oh, and Naomi. This sexy and sophisticated scientist is the reason for the technology that is keeping you warm in the cold climate of Alaska.
If you find something wrong I highly suggest consulting a physician before dissing on and/or playing this game.
Simply put, Crash's very first outing was BORING. It desperately needed variety. Walking through island/jungle stages all the time can only provide so much fun before it inevitably gets boring. The creators of Crash Bandicoot must have realized how boring this formula was because Warped does just the opposite- Warped features nothing BUT creativity. In Warped every stage certainly does NOT have the same feel. You will encounter something drastically different in every stage. I like that.
There is some new weaponry, like a flame thrower, but opponents seem to now drive shielded vehicles and it now takes 100 times longer to destroy someone. Also, the rockets and pink projectile things are about all that's found in most levels, there is a few new things like specials being easy to find but what happened to the mini-gun? It seems to have almost completely disappeared and it's annoying looking for weapons inside buildings when you cant control a vehicle to get in there quick enough.
739 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fantastic.
Another problem I have with the game is the amount of cutscenes. You CANNOT skip over them, so you are forced to watch almost every single one of them. Most of them are kind of boring because most of the cutscenes feature the main characters just talking to each other. Sometimes you will see a cool-looking dinosaur attacking something, though. But Capcom *really* should have given you an option to skip over the cutscenes like they did in the sequel, because most of them are flat-out boring. These conversations are supposed to create a spooky mood, but it doesn't work in my opinion.
Honestly, if I had to choose between a game with superior gameplay and OK graphics or a game with superior graphics and OK gameplay, I would choose the gameplay over the graphics everytime. While you get your occasional blockbuster on today's systems, for the most part the games are just all fluff and no substance!
The replay value is great, and probably the most effective thing about the game. You will want to keep racing on those very nice outdoor/indoor tracks. 5/5
8580 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It's really sad on how they can combine two of Marvel's greatest super heroes and make a horrible game out of it and its no surprise that its been created by LJN. I really wished that Nintendo could've licensed someone else to make this crossover because LJN is known for screwing up so many games for the NES, especially from famous movies and comic book heroes. The cover of the game cartridge, title screen, and the fact that its Spider-Man and the X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Gambit) working together on one game misleaded every child into thinking how exciting the game would be, until they start the first level of the game. The graphics weren't the worst, but the game looks like it belong to the NES or Sega Master System so there was no excuse on that department. The gameplay totally sucks you know what. Attacks are not very responsive and the game itself is unfairly difficult (remember that there are no continues in this game). I love fun challenges, but this game went beyond impossible (this game is for kids so why is it so hard?). I rented this game a few times back in 1993 and I was annoyed each time (I never finished the first level for each hero in Murder World level) so that is one of the video game memories I wish not to relive. Like Spider-Man and The Sinister Six and NES version of The Uncanny X-Men, this is one Marvel Comic licensed game not worth playing and I can't believe that someone on Amazon is selling it for such a high price (no self respecting gamer would even buy this crap for a penny). Please stay away from this horrible game.
The characters are what make FF parts fun. FF8 has a grand scale of well developed characters. Even the not so talked about characters like Ward, Laguna, and Kiros were awesome! Laguna's theme along with almost the entire soundtrack is memorable. As the main characters progress, we get to keep track of Squall's uncle and his events regarding Ellone. You get to play with a conceded sniper Irvine and Zell the punching and kicking machine. The women on this FF game are actually worth playing and not so delicate as Aerith from FF7. Selphie and Rinoa can be very suprising with their inner strengths. Have you ever came across "The End?" I kid you not, I used this on Soceress Adel many times and it worked! With Ultimecia, using Rinoa is awesome because her dog Angelo can be strong. And lets not forget the gunblade specialist Squall whose attacks are never short of amazing. I am not a fan of Quistis but if you like her she can get her specials from random items. Overall 10/10
[Spyro, The Dragon]
7346 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game. Glad to have it again.
The game starts out with you controlling Mario running off to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser. During your fight, a sword-like enemy crashes through the roof of Bowser's castle and everyone gets blown sky high in different directions. After watching a few scenes and reading text, you find out a new enemy is out to take over the Mushroom Kingdom and it's up to Mario to find Princess Toadstool and defeat Smithy, your new rival. And that's basically how the story begins. You control Mario as you make your way through different sections of the Mushroom Kingdom, talk to different people, discover side quest missions and buying and finding various weapons and items for you and your party to use. That's right; you eventually befriend certain characters who join you on your mission and when you face off against enemies and bosses, you can use them during the fight. You can choose Mario and two other characters to fight your battles and swap out the other two characters with new characters (you meet 5 or 6 characters in all who join your party.) It adds to the strategy on how to beat the bad guys since each character has different strengths and weaknesses along with their own attacks and defenses that benefit a character or all 3 characters in play.
THE GOOD PARTS ABOUT THIS GAME
Do yourself a favor and buy it.
5476 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was freakin sweet it is alot of fun. i recomend it to everyone :)
In spite of my criticism, I definitely do not regreat this purchase.
A GENUINELY NON-LINEAR STORY LINE: Starting with character developement, you can take radically different paths through the game. Most of the situations in the game can be resolves in several different ways, all of which lead to different outcomes with different effects on the world and the NPC's. You can also choose which side to support in several different political fights.
But of course the real thing that makes any game great is GAMEPLAY, and this is the area where Nights is mind-blowing. Every level is a 3d on tracks wild ride, morphing, spinning, zooming, and zipping. Through these levels you are constantly trying to at a brisk pace in order to keep from running out of time. And you are trying to rack of bonus points. And then, you reach the only part of the level and wonder...should I go around again for more points, or should I play it safe and exit the level now? You'll only get good points if you exit BEFORE time's up AND get tons of bonus points. And then there's the bosses. They may be pretty easy to beat, but you're timed. Beat them faster to rack up more points. Beat them slow to, well...lose points. It all becomes quite addictive, quite quickly. And controlling Nights is breeze with the Saturn 3d analog controller (I Do NOT recommend using the standard saturn controller for this game. It's not nearly as intuitive and just takes too much away from the experience.)
7955 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product. [:
You get some new weapons such as a bowgun, sub machine gun, spark gun and upgrades to Leons handgun, shotgun and magnum. The aiming feels more comfortable and you always seem to be in control of where you shoot. One downside is that auto aim isn't set by default. When you start the game, you have to press Select to get to the options, select the controller settings and set the mode to Type C to turn the auto aim feature on. A nice new addition is that the characters current health can be determined by their posture and movement speed. This makes it easier to tell what condition your player is in and you don't have to go to the inventory screen to find out how much health you have like with the first game. The Item Boxes are back where you can store items you don't need and pick up later, but a new item you can retrieve is the Side Pack which will allow you to carry two more items increasing your total to ten. Both Leon and Claire are joined by a support partner throughout the story. Leon is aided by a woman named Ada Wong who is searching for her boyfriend. Claire is aided by a 12 year old girl named Sherry who was told to go to the police station because of the dangers in Raccoon City. But even the police station is infested with zombies and bio weapons. The enemies in this game are really memorable; there are the lickers who are just terrifying and powerful, especially later in the game. Then theres Mr. X who is like the Terminator, he always comes back to hunt you down.
8533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is where it all began! One of the greatest Genesis series ever was the Streets Of Rage games. This game is very fun and challenging at the same time, and with its varying levels of diffuclty you can make it either really easy or hair rippin possibly impossible lol. Anyways you can start off as either of the two classic characters in this game Axel Stone, or Blaze Fielding, and you can also use some dude named Adam, who didn't make any other appearences in the series. While this might be the first in the series the moves list for the characters is still pretty impressive. All the characters have their own combos, grappling tactics, team attacks are possible, deffensive attacks, and also each character uses weapons differently. 1 thing that is unique in this game that is not seen in the others is that you can call for some back up! If the punks literally start kickin your A$$ you can call this Police Car that looks like a Civic CRX (which adds to the retro feel and makes it great) and the dude in the ride shoots up all the enemies on screen. This game is a very good length its not to short but its also not to long. I do like the Streets of Rage games that came out later, probably more so. Though this game is a true classic that influenced many games of this genre.

There has always been a debate on which is better - "Super Mario Bros. 3" or "Super Mario World".. For myself, I'd give the edge to "Super Mario World". To be fair to "Super Mario Bros. 3", "Super Mario World" simply took the foundation laid by "SMB3" and perfected it, just like "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" did with the original "Legend of Zelda".
6942 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game is pretty cool. Makes me feel like a kid again.
633 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most influenced games of all time. The fan bases for this one game blows out all FF fan base out of the water. Never has any other FF game seen such an influenced with multiple related games/story characters found in different games. Multiple Movies. Toys, cards, etc based on this game. Why was that all necessary for this one game?
One more thing, if you go through the entire castle and beat Belmont, don't think you're done yet, you've still got a whole other castle to conquer.
4. Do you have time? Because RPG's focus on story and character development, you often find yourself playing for long periods of time always wanting to know what happens next or going around fighting nonessential battles in order to progress your character's attributes (usually known as leveling up). For this reason, RPG's have become infamous for the amount of time they take up. It would not be reasonable to only play ten minutes, than go on to something else. Usually a minimum of at least a half an hour to an hour is needed to not only get full enjoyment, but also to be able to save your progress.
1185 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Alright already. It's a great game. Good AI, graphics. Runs well. Atmospheric. Great story and dialogue. Comedy. Blah, blah, blah.
Overall, I would highly recommend this title to advanced and beginners alike, as this game has a straightforward level up system with a neat addition of the character peripheral I have mentioned above. This should last one a good 50-70 hours, depending on whether one decides to undertake the various sidequests offered in the game or not.
2441 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far the best video game ever created. I recommend every single human being on this earth should have one.
1531 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I only gave this game 2 stars because if you're die-hard South Park fan, it's possible that you might enjoy this game... but I like South Park, and I HATED it. The controls are IMPOSSIBLE to use (you have to use the C buttons most of the time), the gameplay is repetitive and boring (all you do is walk around throwing snowballs at turkeys), and the multiplayer part is boring too. One pro is that the guns are pretty original & the South Park kids say some funny things, but the novelty wears off after a while. I bought this game when it first came out, for ..., and I sold it for $5 at a stoop sale... I just wanted to get rid of it, it's really that bad. If you really have to get it, at least rent it first.
9568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love the game it came on time and i have been playing for a while now i like it and thanks
9134 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game
1717 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow, first off I have to say 'pure classic'. I love this game, in all of its dated graphics and game play with additional cheesy (Jill Sandwich) dialoge glory. That is what this baby is, glory. A truly excellent game, with excellent graphics, for its time and it's, for this nerd at least one of the fondest memories of my wasted childhood I have. In fact this is one of the things I spend countless hours mastering that I don't regret one bit.
They like the two player option. They like the challenge (they're not teens yet). They like the many characters that can be chosen from different games. They like being able to set their and the opponent's skill levels. They just love this game!
4924 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been playing this game (single player mode) for 3 years now. It is the 2nd best game I have ever played (Deus Ex is the best), and the best stratagy game I have ever played. The graphics are great, and the sound is truely awesome (though some sounds can get monotonous if you have all sounds enabled). The narration at the beginning of each mission is as awesome as it would be if the man who played Darth Vader did it. It is very addictive gameplay which will perhaps give 100 hours or more of addictive fun. It was very hard for me at first, but after a week or more I became very good at it on "Hard" skill.
5895 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 square really out did itself this time, this game really is just a advanced version of FF7 in some areas, but still has it's flaws, for instance: Squall, acts exactly like cloud from FF7 except a little colder... Rinoa, except for the blonde streaks on the sides of her head... exactly like tifa. Zell.............. is flawless his attitude, the "i'm too ignorant but i'm still gonna beat the crap outta you." personality, has never been introduced in the final fantsy series before so his characters personality is perfect. Zell's clothes... very well designed, the shorts, the vest, the muscle shaped breast plate armor, his shoes.....great but too much red for me. Zell, next to Cloud of FF7, and Crono of Chrono trigger takes first place above all other final fantasy characters........later
Most plot points are driven from here. So if you are consumed with needing to know why something happened in MGS 3, chances are the answer is somewhere in the sound files on your disc for the codec conversation. Everything is fulfilling and entertaining and well voice acted. Although repeat play throughs probably won't benefit from the listens but I do suggest for people wanting an innumerable amount of backstory on the overall series to give all convos a listen at least once it's been 18 years and on my most recent play through for the buildup to Phantom Pain I was still finding new things, or maybe just things I had forgotten. I guess I'm getting a little old.
9990 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
its good that you can die a lot, because you WILL die a lot! anything and everything kills Abe in one shot. great gameplay and a really funny story
Its good fun while it lasts...but it doesn't last long enough to even win it.
+Controllers/VMU's are a dime a dozen
7146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a well done game. The game play is smooth, the weapons are a lot of fun, and the variety of game modes is really nice. Some of the maps are quite large, which makes for a lot of running around looking for other players to kill. I especially like the fact that the bots in this game come with different skill levels. The more advanced ones will definitely give you a run for your money. Switching weapons or using devices isn't always as smooth as I'd like it to be, but overall this a great game to add to your collection.
Perfect Dark is one of my all time favourite games because it's challenging, interesting, beautiful, addictive, funny and awesome. One player game you have survive many missions which are not so easy at all. Use guns, your brain and be careful especially, if you play on hard or dark difficult levels. There are many humans and monsters who are trying to do you in! Be fast and smart girl because you have survive all these difficulties. One level you have to protect the president of United States and other level your mission is kill all alies.
After installation, you have to get the game to recognize the controls. One of the confusing things is that both the brake and the accelerator are on the same "Axis." The wheel is on Axis 0 and the accelerator and brake are both on Axis 1. The next screen is supposed to show the wheel on Axis 0 and sometimes requires pressing on the brake and accelerator again, and then Axis 1 shows. You also press on the shifter buttons on this screen. Another adjustment is to uncheck the automatic shifting (so you do the shifting) on a different screen. You then can play the game with the '67 cars and the tracks. Some tracks are better than others and some need updates from the Internet when available.
2)The various civiliaztions have their own unique strengths and weaknesses which surpass even the civilizations of the first game. The combinations of units for attack and defense is virtually limitless. Each unit has at least two counter units which slaughter it horribly. (Example: Pikemen and Camels and Mamelukes defeat all types of cavalry with ease.)
I remembered watching the Animaniacs movie, Wakko's Wish, a really long time ago...After I re-watched it again just recently, I went on to watch several episodes of the show, thus making me become an Animaniacs fan very quickly. So when I saw that there was a game for 90s consoles (Sega Genesis, SNES, Game Boy), I had to go and get the SNES version! That is, after watching 30 seconds of gameplay.
7131 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works and is one of the best games of all time.
1965 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game
PROS:
8540 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is one of the best mario kart games ever and i enjoyed playing it
You start out as a trainer named Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. Your mission is to become a Pokmon Master by catching 150 Pokmon (151 if you count Mew) and becoming the champion of the Elite Four. To do this, you must train and catch Pokmon, raise them, and even trade them between Red and Blue versions using your Link Cable or the infrared port on your Game Boy Color. This is both fun and time-consuming, which is great when you are at home sick or bored on a stormy day. Pokmon are raised by winning battles and/or using Rare Candy. Raising Pokmon may sound tedious, but you will change your mind about that when you actually play for yourself. Pokmon is addictive from the moment you start your game all the way through. You will meet many new people on the way, become a hero, and win new items and abilities as you go along.
Controls are the same. The game now makes better use of the keyboard however the entire game can still be played without ever touching the keyboard. Both points are good. I like the fact that belt items are a variable (4 for the first belt, 8 for the next belt, 12 for the next belt and so on and so on.) however, many may not like the newer compact look of the screen. They may not realize that this is by design to allow the player more visible gaming area. Item finding is vastly improved (how many times did we squint at the screen to find a stupid ring.) pressing a chosen key highlights the items for easy finding. Also, managing and using your character has never changed from the original. It's still easy to look at the farious stats and items that you have. However, I've never liked how much screen real estate this process has to take.
Awesome graphics!
5168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We all know this game is awesome and why.
3318 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is cool, the gameplay is cool, and everything that people state about games are cool, but, DO NOT, AND I MEAN DO NOT, let children 14 and under play this game. It is extremly violent, extremly bloody, and extremly grose. You do nothing but go around and blow up zombies that devour living human being. Not to mention, this game will give you nightmares. I played the one for playstation and it is exactly the same as this: Violent, bloody, gross, and extreamly scary. I have to admit, when I played this at a friend's house, I got nightmares for three nights.
I can't believe I forgot to review this! I've actually had this game for ages, and I even reviewed it's horrible sequel, Jade Cocoon 2, but I somehow forgot to actually write a review for this one. Well, anyway, I'll get on with it. Firstly, I should note that if you are a Studio Ghibli fan, this game should feel oddly familiar. The art style is (from what I understand) either directly inspired by Ghibli - or the art design was actually worked on by Studio Ghibil members (not totally sure which). The story, too, also feels pretty Ghibli-esque (but more on that later). The only other thing I'll mention before I get into the category breakdown is that this game strangely comes in one of those double-CD cases, but only actually has one disc. It's a pretty short game, so I have no idea what's going on with that. Maybe the marketing department was trying to fool people into thinking the game was longer? I have no idea... Oh well, on with the review!
7487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 came quickly and was great. worked fine, and two years later, it still does. nothing more needs to be said
5760 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i loved it until the first disc ended, final fantasy 8 is just too much. the only really lame thing about this game is the whole orphanarium thing, and final fantasy 8 honestly reminds me of laguna beach or some show. lol dirtbag jason = anti-social squall! oh yeah, and squall is annoying, smexy, but sooooo annoying. seifer and rinoa make this game awesome. i love seifer! uhh ? that's all!
209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 excelent
Well, the graphics still are the best thing that my venerable old Packard Bell with 200 MHz Genuine Intel Pentium ran, with its 16 MB of EDO RAM and extremely primitive 1 MB S3 ViRGE card. Still, it ran. Often the graphics seem ugly in comparison to other, newer, and supposedly better things, but they work, and if you care about winning in CS, this seems a secondary concern.
For every thing else, the story was a definite plunge from 7. FF7 blew everyone away and when this cam out, the characters were ok, but the story was pretty lame, but not too, too terrible and the music was forgettable. The environments were about matched with that of 7, but less enjoyable. So overall, this is not a great game.
Needless to say this excellent game has stood the test of time. It is side-scrolling--pre 3-D--but that is one of the game's strengths in my opinion. There are some incredibly difficult levels (the mine cars are very tough), but the game is not impossible to beat and provides just enough challenge to really absorb you in it. Control is fairly simple but another plus--you don't need a whole slew of button combos to master this game, just some dexterity and practice.
Graphics-10/10 WOW...the graphics in this game were the best a console system had ever seen at the time. (I believe this came out before Mario RPG, Donkey Kong, and Chrono Trigger.). It was the first game to go beyond 16 bits and make it to 24 bits (amazing feat back then). The backrounds are great, and while in the Norfair stages the backround is wavey symbolizing the effects of the lava and extreme heat. The bosses are absolutely breathtaking, especially Kraid. Instead of the little itty-bitty Kraid that was in Metroid one, this one has been totally redone, and is bigger and badder than ever. Samus's suit looks great, and the weapons look awesome as well.
4847 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like tanks great game to invest in ok graphics for the 64.
I honestly don't see any reason what-so-ever why you shouldn't buy Sega's final legacy. For any holiday, if you have a nephew, son, friend, or whoever that wants to play games for at least 20 hours a week and doesn't have one yet, at $50 this is more than a real-steal. Most of the games now are cheap (around the $10 range) and the system costs only 5 times that price.
Extends N64 cable. What more do you want?
4955 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 WWE WM 2000 is a great game with tons of matches..
You can choose one of 13 civilizations to play in a skirmish. Or you can play King of the Hill. Or you can play Fortress. Or you can play...I think you get the point. There are tons of options for single player game play. And the historically accurate missions follow the lives, trials and battles of William Wallace, Joan of Arc, Ghengas Khan, Barbarosa, and Saladin. While these campaigns are somewhat static and "rail," they are engrossing and interesting.
6402 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Most games are hot when they release and then quickly become old and dated. Age of Empires II - The Age of Kings stands the test of time. This is a game that is fun even years after its release.
This game is great from the look and the level of detail and the combat. Thanks
A few really great things about this game include some of the best grapics i've seen in the Tomb raider series and quite possibly the best of its release time. Not to mention the great motors you can drive. The best part about it was the story line, which at times has you gripping to your seat.
1887 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been addicted to Spyro since I was a little kid, and this is the original game that got me hooked. I'm terrible at video games, but I love to play this... I'm sure experienced gamers could beat this kind of game with their eyes closed, but for me it's quite the challenge, and I enjoy it!
In this game Bomberman can ride vehicles and transform into a different form. I thought at first, man I'm going to hate those type of stages. But I actually loved it... It's a good twist I must say, and very thoughtful.
Overall: 9/10
6282 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Whoever doubts that computer gaming is an art-form should play PLANESCAPE-TORMENT.
Best seen on Lost World levels
The characters themselves are a tad annoying.
Despite the presence of elves, fairies and princesses in this game, the soundtrack does a good job of letting the player know that these are dark times, not a time of festivities and celebration. The dungeon themes in particular are very mysterious, foreboding and gloomy (Link! Step away from the edge! Don't do it!).
-Link is missing the strap on his frontside that holds his sword case thingy! Well, it just kinda looks odd.
The player learns to depend on trade for revenues to keep the city functioning, and it's fun to watch the donkey caravans stopping at storage yards to buy and sell goods.
3757 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nice speed and gameplay overall. The only 2 cons are the camera angles and some of the enviroments aren't fully interactive. You can't enter all the buildings with each character. Even with that though it's a great game and some levels are extremely well matched with the background music "red hot mountain". I played this game for nearly three hours before realizing how long I'd been on it. Deffinetly worth the time and money to pick this one up.
2559 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Graphics: 8/10 - Ridge Racer Type 4 is plausible in this area. The car designs are fantastic and the roads are clear and well-crafted.
7936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this it is definitely a classic game that everyone needs! It came perfectly just like I wanted perfect label with no wear and tare to it.
Some food for thought...with all the vintage game revamps we have seen lately, why haven't we seen one for Streets of Rage 2? I think it could be a good idea...
3028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will never get rid of my FF7, I will hurt somebody who try's to take my FF7. Thank you for reading my review.
Besides all of those reasons, the number one reason the Game Boy is so popular is because it is portable. Now imagine this toy that can play up to 450 games, has suberb graphics, and crisp and clear sound, can fit right in your pocket. That's Right!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's more to graphics than just how many polygons you have and how detailed your textures are. Graphics, even low-res graphics, can and should be BEAUTIFUL. And beautiful this game is in all its Playstation polygon glory. The lighting, the jets, the far off cityscapes and the clouds in the sky, it's all just beautiful (to me at least). And better yet, unlike other air combat games of the era, everything moves at a rocketing speed. Even when you get close to the ground (where other games look like you're moving in slow motion), the game keeps a great sensation of speed.
There is no need for me to review this game - all I really need to say is buy it. You will not be disappointed (if you are a nintendo fan or have a brain). Definitely be sure to get the follow up Majora's Mask and the Wind Waker. A must play and Link is the best hero ever.
Final Fantasy V was originally released in Japan in 1992. Squaresoft was planning on releasing it in the U.S., but it was deemed "too tough" for American audiences. Then they planned on releasing it for the PC and calling it "Final Fantasy Extreme," but that idea was scrapped as well. It is now finally available in its original form, along with FF VI, as Final Fantasy Anthology.
4480 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought this game at a EB store. It was one of the most interesting civ games I have ever played. It had verry good game concpts and I played for hours on end. And that was about 7 to 10 years ago. I still remeber playing it. But then again I like all civ games. It got 4 stars over all. But I only got 3 stars of fun out of it. I finaly got burnt out on it and traded it. And I have nothing but good memories from playing it. Planting forest and reaserching biomorphic fugi. And the wierd mind worms which took the place of barbains. Differnt factions such as chairman yang of the hive and more cool stuff.
Fun battle system!
6167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived in operational condition and I can now enjoy my N64 Classics as they were meant to be!!
Beast Within (second game): A full-motion-video game that shows you just how good the format can be. While I didn't care so much for the guy who played Gabriel, everyone else (especially Grace!) did an incredible job. In this game Gabriel has accepted his heritage, to a point, but won't accept help from Grace. Not that that stops Grace (little does). In this game, you switch between the two, as they work on the case from both ends (I found myself enjoying Grace's detective work more than Gabriel's good ol' boy attempts at sleuthing--though both are fun). Werewolves, missing Wagnerian operas, and dead Bavarian kings all combine in an enthralling story that sweeps you along, impatient for the next video clip. And the music...both the opera itself and the incidental music set the mood, and immerse you fully in this epic.
This is a Wonderful Game probably my all time favorite game boy game, this was the first game boy game I played, I first tried it when I was 4 and then I beat it about 25 times when I was 9 and I am a teenager now and still love this game very much. I still play the game everyday and beat it very fast. When I was 9 I could complete the whole game in 15 minutes due to many shortcuts I found:) Get the Original Game Boy with Super Mario Land and lay off the chocolate milk while buying a Nintendo DS Lite. All of the Super Mario Land Games+ the original tetris is SO MUCH better than a Nintendo DS where the games are the size of your finger nail and cost $35.00, please agree with me on this one, I still have a loaded wallet and bought 30 games the other day! I got this one for $1.50 at Game Stop because it was $9.99 -75% and then I had my edge card so -10% and I got it for $1.50, if you want to save money please write this down when buying Game Boy Games:
I don't even think the skill level even works.
1674 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is perhaps my favorite arcade collection of all time. The PS1 Namco Museum series is a very interesting twist on the arcade compilation formula. The innovative things about these games is that you have the option of walking around in a literal Namco Museum, and there are doors which represent each game, whats awesome about walking around in the museum is that each door for each game you go into has excellent build-up and atmosphere to get you pumped to play the game, and since it is a museum, each game's room has a plethera of interesting history of Namco, for example, in the Dig Dug room, you can click on these action figures that are on display and they represent real toys that Namco actually produced. There are also these sort of tips and tricks scattered on the walls of each room, as well as more history other than merchandise. Its a brilliant idea, and luckily, this game has an amazing roster of games. It has Ms. Pacman, Dig Dug which is my favorite arcade game of all time, Galaxian, Pole Position 2, Tower of Druaga, and Phozon which is a really strange sort of puzzle game. Lastly, because of personal bias, this game means a lot to me. It introduced me to Namco and some arcade classics, and some of the museum locations invoked wonder and curiosity in me and they make me happy whenever I see them. One last thing to note, you do not need to walk through the museum, you can quick start a game if you want to.
1521 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was like my 3rd game i came across when i was just a child. Actually to be honest it was my very first swordsman/weapons, 3rd person hack and slash game. Never played anything else similar to this. That goes for all consoles. Anyway after when playing the demo for the first time, i was like wow this is fun. You play as a knight who arose from the dead casted by magic from and evil sorcerer. You basically try to save the world from an evil sorcerer trying to take over the world filling it with pure evil etc. The themes, atmosphere, gameplay, music, characters of enemies of good or evil, etc. in the game were very cool. Not to mention items and weapons.
I thought the graphics were great, especially the detailed scenery which is an almost exact duplicate of the real French town of Rennes-Les-Chateau. One of the high points in the game was Robert Holmes soundtrack, which relied mostly on creepy, atmospheric piano pieces. It really added to the experiance.
this game has a few damning flaws that keep it out of the better ranks among Final Fantasy games. One of these is its battle system and by extension, the horrid Junction System. Sure, it's complex on a level comparable to playing D & D, but is it fun? No, it in fact, is not fun to spend endless hours in menus equipping various magics to various attributes (magic you have to 'draw', one or two spells at a time, out of your enemies). The Junction system makes your traditional leveling-up pretty much useless. Your characters can be at level 100 and it does you no better off than being at level 30 unless everything is junctioned right.
The music is either extremely good (the brilliant peaceful moodiness of the water theme and the intimidating and exciting heavy metal-like Bowser fights) or downright horrendous (everything else, which consists of annoying nursery rhyme children's themes inappropriate and painfully skull-smashing for the rest of us). I can't STAND the theme songs that play in Whomp's Fortress and Rainbow Ride- two unforgivable themes that make me want to smash my brains in whenever I play Super Mario Galaxy 2 where they return in all their overbearingly annoying glory. Rainbow Ride in particular reminds me of a county hayride where kids ride around on tractors (not to mention the stage itself is extremely tedious and overlong). The snowy mountain stage with the Italian accordion music is sickening and out of place. Just mute the volume on your TV to make life easier for yourself. The boss fights are incredibly simplistic- grab Bowser's tail, spin him around and toss him, or pick up/stomp other bosses. Basic, boring stuff.
GO 76ERS!!!!!!!!!!
- Zombies respawn after you enter and exit a room. (True, considering the situation and environment does make sense. Like its impossible to kill every zombie in the city.)
5495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had not played this game for many years. Had to own this one again.
If you have not played this game I would strongly suggest doing so for fans of the stealth genre of games. This isn't where it started but it's definitely where it got it's legs to stand on and certainly what popularized it.
8658 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was bought for a gift for a gaming person and they loved it.
9437 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worth the 40$
This game combined mortal kombat's 1, 2, 3 and another version, I forget the name into the one game. And that was a great move. Finally all the charactors where playable in the one game, even hidden charactors where findable like a cool charactor named Chameleon who was a ninja, but kept changing, he'd morph into scorpion, sub zero, reptile, rain ect...
2707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great service, arrived sooner then excepted. A++. Great Rare game for a affordable price. So glad i got the game, played it and in my collection.
The boss fights are really great, too. Characters like Juggernaut, Sabertooth, Apocalypse, Mojo and obvously Magneto show up. Unfourtunately, a lot of them are really difficult to beat (not impossible) without backup characters, which is the only real problem with this game.
5375 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The only reason I gave this game two stars is because I am an Mortal Kombat Fan but this game sucks!!! It was way to easy you know I loved mortal kombat trilogy because it was hard as h*ll and when I beat it I was so happy and said to my self I can't wait till the next game!!! Yet this is just bad you don't even have to learn the peoples moves any more. You just have to take out your weapon and hack'em to death it just sucks. Then I went and rentid Mortal Kombat:DA and I do admit harder then this peice of $h! t!!! Yet still the weopons are still there and now you can stab them in the gut and leave it there so the person you fight slowly dies. So what I'm saying is stick with 1,2,3 and Trilogy they are way better.
8350 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game was not easy to see and very boring
9973 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I've played a lot of games that to this day can be considered old. Some of them have aged well thanks to their long lasting charms and innovations, but from this I've earned an experience: I have learned that if the opening music to the game is astronomically good, it's a bad game. Few games apply to this rule, but it is still present particularly in long forgotten manure fests like Deep Blue for the Turbo Grafix 16... and this game.
6635 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 As others have mentioned, this product has serious flaws--especially with regard to the pitiful number of questions available. For me, however, a larger complaint is the surprising unfaithfulness to the show.
7608 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I recently went crazy and bought an N64 system, an expansion pak, a memory card, and 13 games. Thing was, it all happened in less than 2 days and it happened cause the sweet memories I had when I was a child. I bought the N64 mainly for the game Zelda: Ocarina of Time (by the way if you've never played it, by all cost and means, do so). However, this game was also part of that sweet memory which I'm trying to relive again.
1106 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS GAME IS AS GOOD AS THE SOUNDTRACK AND MAJORA'S MASK. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER PLAYED.
2. N64: Link, after receiving a mission from the Deku Tree, goes and wins the three Spiritual Stones. Upon doing so, he goes to Hyrule City, but not before learning Zelda is kidnaped. He places the three Spiritual Stones in their place, and the Door of Time is opened, and there the sword is. Retrieving the Sword, goes to the Temple of Sages, or whatever it is called. Is given first Sage Medallion.
This game despite its old-school graphics and traditional fighting system gets a 5 out of 5 for its wonderful story and loveable characters.
The simple graphics are reminiscent of a time when story mattered more than how the game looked. And even today, many games are attempting to recapture that "retro look."
The game is story-driven and let me tell you that the story is fantastic. Its probably the reason that most people spend all day playing it... to see what happens next in the story.
I remember sliding down caves & smashing boulders back in the day, now that a friend sold it to me, Im in love with it!
8039 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Isn't it just like Acclaim to incorporate real life humans to portray characters in their games? This trend started in Mortal Kombat and they've outdone themselves with this game by using the actual wrestlers themselves. Mind the term "wrestlers" though, because this game is almost fifty-fifty in wrestling and street brawling! You get to choose from six WWF wrestlers: Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Doink "The Clown," Lex Luger, and Razor Ramon (aka Scott Hall). This is a bit unfortunate because the Genesis version had them plus Yokozuna and Bam Bam Bigelow. This may cause the game to be a tad repetitive. But once the match starts it's an all-out brawl and the victor will most often be the fastest-thinking, shrewd and button-mashing wrestler rather than people taking a strategic approach. They may find themselves knocked out and pinned in ten seconds!

Premonition
I'm a 32 year old woman, and especially for adults, or older children, I think this was well worth the money.
It needs to get recognized by the Nex-Generation gamers.
I can't really say the pack brought a whole new element to the game play.
Considering all of these things, a person skeptical about playing Final Fantasy 7 should grant reconsideration. Though it is far from the prettiest and most unique of games, it does represent the model that all of today's successful RPGs follow. And, in this case, the model is more radiant than its spinoffs.
If you are an absolute freak about Star Wars, you might enjoy this game because you'll be able to re-enact the battle of Hoth and other scenarios. If however you want an excellent real-time strategy game, try Starcraft or Age of Empires II. If you want strategy in 3D, Homeworld is also an excellent bet.
5788 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If I were to ever to play one game ever again, it would be Final Fantasy VIII. It's great battles, memorable characters, and a deep mature storyline makes it my favorite Final Fantasy, if not favorite game.
9215 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a classic but now with more new levels and stages, new moves but the same gorilla and the main character mario.
4778 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Throughout Castlevanias history there have been only three thus far that did not follow the mainstream pattern. Those were Castlvania 2 Simons Quest (NES) Castlevania Circle of the Moon (GBA) and Castlevania Symphony of the Night. What seperated these three titles from the rest of the series? They were Action RPG', not mainstream action games.
So yeah - there you go nintendrones - the playstation brand rightfully won that gen and your crowning achievement in console gaming has turned out to be a dated and weak title. Oh yeah Rare is now exposed as being mediocre - your cult like devotion to nintendo made them rich at least. They haven't made anything decent since though
Even Metal Gear Solid isn't as good as this! This is a master piece: Perecentage of 100 for ff fans and 99 for none ff fans. Exceptional! Magnificent! Magic! I could go on....
It's tough and time consuming, but worth it.
Exploring is really the core of this game. Branching paths allow you to open up new routes for you to explore. Secret areas are everywhere in this game and it pays to look for them. Once you complete the story mode, play it again. It gives you new levels to try out each time. Once you unlock those levels, you can play them again instantly with a quick level select option. Replayability is high in this game. I had played the story mode a dozen times before I discovered a boss I hadn't fought before.
3. A little confusing, as far as the story goes. It's better to play the game twice and see if you still understand it.
7869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in before arrival date and i didn't even know but it came with the manual and the cover that goes on the bottom of the cartridge..
7398 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let's get it out there first, KILLER INSTINCT GOLD is an advanced fighting game. Beginning gamers won't be able to do the combo system. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to play even if you're not very good, but I still think that by not being able to pull off the combo system and new fatality system, than you really miss out on the core principals of this game and that is the combos.
4) There are new competitions that include racing your dog or horse.
The game has several modes: Championship, Exhibition, and Special Modes. The exhibition mode is a singles or tag team match where the player can face either the computer, a friend, or a few friends since the game supports up to 4 players. The championship modes allow the player to compete for the WCW TV Championship, the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, the WCW Tag Team Championship, the WCW United States Championship, and the grand-daddy of them all, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship (affectionately referred to as the Big Gold Belt.) While the path to the Television titles and the Cruiserweight titles aren't terribly challenging, you will need to bring your "A" game when competing for the higher-tiered titles (or you can dial the difficulty down to Easy, either or.) The special modes essentially allow the player to engage in specialty handicap or battle royal exhibition matches; with the former allowing for 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 battles while the latter will have 4 competitors fighting each other in the ring until one's eliminated, with the option to allow up to 40 contestants to enter the match. You're also given a mode where you can customize the given wrestlers to either have different names or to have them wear different costumes.
Protoss=Best in offense. Slowest building time, more powerful men however.
677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome game form the 90s, but its a little hard to play now as I've been spoiled with two joysticks on the controller. But once you get the hand of the controls then its still and amazing game
As stated before, the first couple of missions are pretty simple and easy. But, starting with about the fourth mission, they start to get REALLY tough, with multitudes of TIE fighters, missile turrets, and gun emplacements all doing their best to shoot you down. Expect to die many times before mastering each mission. Getting the gold medal on all 16 missions will definitely take a while.
6618 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When Final Fantasy VI first came out in the US, I was excited as excited can be. It was an incredible game, by anyone's standards. But it cost 70 dollars. Here, we have the opportunity to buy this as well as the never-released before in the US Final Fantasy V, along with bonus features, for 40 dollars!
The game never gets very difficult, but it's never so easy to the point where you get bored...unless you want to be cheap and keep Coo around. I love that owl and all, but since you keep the animal friends until their health is reduced to zero or you get rid of them yourself, a lot of people will want to keep them since they act as extra health too. The stages are varied and get longer as the game goes on, with some leaving a little room for exploration instead of being linear. And figuring out which power to have in order to get out the Rainbow Drops from their storage rooms can be a little bit of a challenge. But hey, these days you can just look up an FAQ or walk through video and figure it out, but back in the mid-90s, this was tricky! People who love the old Mario games, especially Super Mario World will love Kirby's Dream Land 2.
6524 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am a purist.
Second is the still dated graphics engine. I see lots of people commenting on how good the graphics look. I have a pretty good rig and i can play games like Mass Effect and Silent Hunter 4 in almost thearatical quality but even with everything maxed out this game just looks medicore graphics wise. The ships and ocean etc. looks very simplistically rendered from today's standard. The graphical quality of this game released in 2008 is kind of dissappointing though.
6054 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A colony has suddenly evacuated its cities in order to avoid the wrath of an angry Ozgar. The player's object is to locate Ozgar and stop him before he destroys this planet. The colonists have developed a remarkable technology for hypertravel from one world to another. Through the course of the game, the player gains control of this technology in order to find and defeat Ozgar.
5866 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Drakan is, simply put, an outstanding game. Although the story is somewhat simple -- the beautiful girl is out to rescue her brother, hooks up with the dragon, and realizes it's up to her to save the world -- the game is great fun to play.
.
No videogame fan has an excuse not to play or own this. Words cannot describe my love for this game. (Sounds stup[id but it's true) You will so nostalgic even when u meet the characters again for the 20th time. It is just a gaming masterpiece and i doubt it will be bettered for a veeeeerrryy long time to come unless the new gamecube zelda follows the same direction and improves it with a larger interface and new fresh ideas.
8772 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing game for anyone at any age. I first played it when I was like 4 or 5.
9734 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good game, but not the best the series has to offer...
However, the graphics still remain a bit of a pioneer cuz
2342 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Showed up quick, works perfectly. I'll take good care of it for you Jack.
No real suprises really, aside from it including an active time battle system.
3844 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not sure whether to give this a 3 or a 4. This is kind of like a first person shooter like half-life, only you are too weak to really get into big fights. It has some RPG elements, but only barely. The graphics are ugly, but i don't really care about graphics. The respawning monsters (but not respawning ammo) are annoying, and the weapons that break after a couple of shots are MAJORLY ANNOYING! That alone is reason to have the author kicked. But despite all of that, the game is actually fun to play, and the story is somewhat interesting. You could consider Deus Ex to be System Shock 3, since it's extremely similar only with better technology and weapons that don't break as easily (although the ammo is still limited - none of these are Quake kiling sprees). But SS2 is a fun game, you just got to keep your expectations somewhat low, because there are a lot of little, annoying things here
5563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is a good game. I had this game on Nintendo 64 for 5 years. I gave it away and bought this one for Sega Dreamcast. Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is better than the one on Nintendo 64. I use the RUMBLE Flurry to win easy. My favorite boxer is Lulu Valentine. She's the best boxer for me to use. This is definitely a good game to buy.
8445 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Durable fun game better than disc games
Cutscenes are well-handled from FMV-types which detail nuclear histories and such while there's others which handle the in-game cinematics like meeting characters. But Snake also talks through the CODEC, a radio and video communication which shows a black screen, text and 2 character portraits and though it's handy to read all the heavy plot scenes, it feels strange for character moments. Get used to that ring too since you'll be hearing it a lot as you play the game. The other negative people might have is its length which doesn't really feel long and it's actually perfectly paced and it doesn't feel like the game got extended just for the sake of adding more stuff to do.
The graphics and sounds are amazing for the SEGA Genesis. They captured everything Michael does. Everything from the dance, the hat toss, the crotch grab, the spins, and his poses. He kicks fairy dust for his attack which I didn't understand until later. He can even moonwalk! All of his trademark taunts (if you want to call them that) are in here.
5948 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you liked Dungeoun Siege or Divine Divinity type games but never played this classic, do so today. You get get it anywhere for super cheap and its so fun and addictive. For those who like more in depth stories and less clickity clicking, go pick up Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum, or Morrowind. But if you want super-clicking, level-uping, and finding more powerful weapons, armours, and magicks, then this addictive clickfest of killing the damned creatures from the pits of the hells is the game for you.
The whip Christopher uses in this game may be upgraded once for a chain whip, and once more for flinging fireballs...it's not quite an adequate replacement for the traditional Castlevania subweapons, but it does give you unlimited attacks at range.
Fun Fact: Grant Kirkhope (the composer of Donkey Kong 64) provided the voice for Donkey Kong in this game.

3662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Tekken games have always been the most popular fighters for the ps1. Tekken1 was very blocky, bad character details, and did not move very smoothly. However it still had fun game play, and unlike the other tekkens it offered great challenges, and moves that were always fun to learn. Then, Tekken2 came out, and was a vast improvement over the first. It had more moves and combo systems, better graphics, and new characters. Then Tekken3, the best tekken and the best fighter for the ps1. It features many new characters, lots of moves and combo systems. Good, smooth graphics, and nice looking FMV sequences. New modes such as tekken force (a very fun side scrolling game, similar to the old nes game, double dragon). A very addictive and fun minigame called tekken ball mode (play it with some friends, it's a blast). Also, all the normal modes such as survival, arcade, and time trial are all there. As for the difficulty of the game, it of course features three modes, easy, normal, and hard. I was though, very surprised with the challenge of arcade mode. But the boss, ogre was way to easy, and even his second form was easier than his first! My favorite characters are yoshimistu (sp?), Jin Kuzama, and Bryan Fury. As for the replay value... it kept me playing it for a week or two and that's pretty good. I have not yet played TTT (Tekken Tag Tournament) but I will soon. Plus I am very excited about Tekken 4. So if you want a hardcore, action packed fighting game that is very realistic (they even considered gravity so they jump the normal height) then I highly suggest this game to you. It's the best!
I also must add that the controls are very customizable. If you don't have Doom for your computer, this is your best bet on the console. After all, this has Doom, Doom II, AND Ultimate Doom!
5653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far the best game in the FF series. You can take virtually any route that you see fit in character develpment, and the customization is by far one of the most in depth and revolutionary systems to date. If you don't take full use of everything the game gives you then your experience will not be as fulfilling when playing FF8. Some people have complained about balance and having to rely on your GF's (guardian forces) too much. This is not the case at all, because in FF8, you make your own balance in the way you junction your characters. I have beaten this game with minimal, to no usage of my GF's, or magic-only using regular attacks and limit breaks. It can be done, and if you experiment with different spells, status ailments and elemental junctioning, then you will appreciate the very deep system that this game offers.

Sometimes I get bored with trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do and just shoot at Pac-Man until he gets really mad and gets attacked by a cat near the hot dog stand. That's more fun then actually trying to finish the game, which if you did you wasted your time like I did.
1778 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It was a good game. Played it at someone's house and when I got a PS I had to get it. How times change.

Final Fantasy VI: This was first released in the US as Final Fantasy III for the SNES. This was probably one of the most advances RPGs for its time. The graphics were absolutely amazing compared to anything that was released on the SNES at the time. Final Fantasy VI has an extremely involving and well thought out story with many plot twists and a lot of likeable and well defined characters. I would highly recommend this game to anyone that is into Sci-Fi, Fantasy and RPGs.
4509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is sad to see that SNK has decided to discontinue Neo Geo Pocket sales in North America because the NGP is by far the best portable system around. THe NGP has the best graphics availiable in a porrtable console, and features many of the best portable games. Almost every Pocket game is of high quality, and on average their games are twice as good as gameboy. Since they have decided to discontinue North American sales I wouldn't advise buying this system unless you can afford to buy many of their great games before Amazon.com runs out. This really is the best portable system!
6762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To me, this is one of the best beat em up games of all time, not to mention you can get it for a pretty cheap price. The whole comic book theme is very fun to go through, with different panels and pages. They even have those dialogue bubbles when they talk, and (sometimes) the evil guy draws the enemies you have to defeat. People actually think this game is repetitive-are you kidding me? There are so many different enemies that I never got bored playing it. I haven't played too many of these side-scrolling (more like panel-jumping) punch kick games, but I had a very good time playing this one. If you have a Genesis, just go out and get it. If you don't, get a Genesis for maybe $20-40, because there is an abundance of good title on the Genesis, and get this game along with all of the Sonic the Hedgehog ones. There's only one bad thing about this game, and I don't think this one thing should stop you from getting this awesome game. It is just VERY challenging, and I mean it's challenging. Sometimes it's a fun challenge, other times you'll feel like never playing the game again. This only means the levels take a while to master, and I think they should have made the health gauge a tad bit longer. You only get one health gauge, and it is VERY hard to keep it up most of the time. Other than that, this game is very fun, and you don't have to be willing to sit through it to play it-you only have to be willing to have fun. I think this should have been named a classic, because it's almost as good as Street Fighter 2 (the Genesis version)but maybe it wasn't named a classic because it wasn't too well recognized. Get it, play it, enjoy it.
8989 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fast shipping arrived in great condition just as described. Great classic game to add to my collection. Highly recommended. Thanks! A+ Classic donkey kong for SNES i think i like the music just as much as i like playing. oo OO AAHH AAH!!
2964 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Oh, here they come! Can you hear it? The wimpy cries of the thousands and thousands of fanboys and fangirls of this failure of an RPG! I can certainly hear them, because I've been listening to them for the past few years. I will admit, I was excited to play this game at first, seeing as I never played it before Christmas of 2008...but honestly, I wish I had never played it at all. Why? Well, stick around, sit back, shut up and read.
1422 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was incredible to see this game when it came out in 1996, my brother and I had our minds blown. We lived in this game, and Mario Kart and thought entertainment would never be the same. Years ago, this was the one word on Videogames, it revolutionized everything and no one has duplicated it. A must-own and play. It's...just incredible.
In conclusion there are minor flaws here and if you like Star Wars, first person shooters and adventure games then buy this! NOW!
7815 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great product. fast shipping.
5860 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Was not the product pictured. Poor packaging.
The Bad:
Though not the best Final Fantasy game by my standards, this title has some features that were new and innovative to the series and the RPG world upon its release. While some of those features seem archaic today, replaying Final Fantasy VIII brings me back to a simpler time in video game history.
6969 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rocks! The funnest part of the game though is trying to figure out all the character's special moves by randomly pressing button combinations. I still don't know how to do all the moves but most most of the characters in the game have a special move where you press down and then forward + A/B at the same time. With Subzero it shoots an Iceball (DragonballZ Style) at opponet and freezes them. If you see this game around I'd buy it. It has crap loads of characters and 3 secret unlockable ones: Smoke (Human form) (Like Scorpion) Shao Kaun, and Motarro. Motarro is the coolest, he is a huge centitar and has a special move where he picks up the opponet with one arm and slams them against the floor. And another where you hold B and he spits a green energy ball at opponet. This game is very adventurous and you can set it so its not so bloody for the younger audiances or turn the blood green so they think it's snot or something.
Grpahics aren't the best but they do fine.
8148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's good that the original games are still out there! As much as I love some of the newer games, it's good to play the old ones still. If you like the old ones and don't have a machine, you should check out the Retro Duo on Amazon. It plays both the original NES and SNES.
All in all, the game kept me riveted until the very end. The presentation was incredible. The story was intriguing. The game, for me, was an absolutely breath-taking experience.
Ecco the Dolphin
This game focuses on government. You are required to balance the prosperity, health, and some other things in your city. Make sure that your citizens are employed, healthy enough, well educated, have access to entertainment facilities to keep them happy. You can adjust taxes, hold festivals, open new trading route, and many more!
This game is a dream! In single player mode, it really is like playing the TV show. Whereas only a couple of Star Trek games in the past have come up to this standard (e.g. Armada) most like Klingon Honour Guard have falled slightly short of the mark. The gameplay is Identical to Half Life / Quake 2 etc. The use of the Quake 3 engine fully recreates the starship Voyager's decks in stunning detail. The sound effects are also lifted straight from the show and most of the actors it seems have contributed their voices to their 3D counterparts. The icing on the cake is the cut scenes linking your character of Ensign Monroe into the story line and the command chain.
6032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yep, Half-life was a great game. But with this expansion, it gives you a whole other game! You play as a different person while using a different arsenal of weapons and much more. With a non-confusing way of play it makes you think without getting frustrated. If you liked half-life, you gotta get this one. (For a good deal get blue shift).
9992 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived on time and as described. Thank you!
3164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After playing all the US released predecessors to this title, I saw the commercials and got actually mixed feelings, feeling it would be hard core, but not as epic. Boy, was I WRONG!
I really enjoyed Max Payne. I like games where I have to think by preference, but this was just too much fun even though the body-count ends up like something from a Terminator movie. Basically, you're just waltzing in, "Playing it Bogart" and pumping the baddies full of bullets, some of which are Full Metal Jacketed. It's nice that they took such things into account and the effects of your gun-blazing are seen with more detail to your environment than the baddies.
Tetris is a never ending game but you do have goals and cut scenes to achieve. For instance on the "B" level once you play level 9 stage 1-5 each time you beat a level mariachi musician plays a fun little tune for you. Each level you beat a band member gets added. Once you get to the hardest setting 9-5B if you win you get the full mariachi band playing and a full size space shuttle launch. It is a little different than on the NES version where you get to see the classic Nintendo characters Samus, Link, Mario etc after beating each round. The gameboy 9-5 level is a little more forgiving than the NES counterpart of the same level. But both provide a nice challenge and keep you playing until you are able to beat the stage.
5322 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Well I bought this mainly cause I always liked the soundtrack from it and I thought it was cool that U could just slap it right into a cd player and listen to it. Like tomb raider 1, Loaded, etc Well with the greatest hits version, that's not possible. Not only is that not possible but it has a totally different soundtrack on it. I used PSXMC to listen to it. so never really liked the game because of the 2d style gameplay, definitely don't like it now since they change the soundtrack and stuff on it. Greatest Hits disk SUXS!! it did come with all the manuals, case, etc.
2755 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works as designed. Very nice item.
5819 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best of the mechwarrior series. I own them all, so shouldn't I know? You get to choseyour career as a commander for a mercenarie unit, or join someone else's. Then you sign contracts to get your missions. I'd nominate this game for "Best PC Game"...but I can't.
A good game for 10 to 20 dollars, but you shouldn't spend more than that on this weekend game.
...overrated.
Unlike many games, dialogue solves most of quests and Intelligence and Wisdom are much more appreciated here than in other RPGs. Fighting is intensive only at the end of game, so story is everything.
5075 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 but then I fell in love with the game! First off, the replayability is ultimately limitless. Secondly, there are these options called Mutators that allow you to edit effects into the game itself. Some are options such as low grav, jump match, chainsaw melee, sniper arena, rocket arena, etc. Then, you get to personally name and edit each bot you fight, and select from over 2 dozed sprawling maps. This game is definately better than Half-Life or Quake III, or any other video jock that has *ever* come out. This game now has to be my favorite game by all means.
This game still maintains the fast-paced ATB system where the characters must react in a timely manner to defeat the enemies or bosses that will cross paths with the characters controlled in the battles. One of the greatest highlights of this game is that this is the first game in the series to have a science fiction based plot otherwise unseen in earlier titles, and very few other RPGs at the time.
The story was excellent and I thought it was very involving. Though bits and pieces resulted in a headache, I enjoyed watching the characters. Rinoa is my favorite, but Squall comes to a close second. I have this thing against his scar... ::shudder::...
8032 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Funny to think that before I even got to play this, I've already played FFVII, Wild Arms, Breath of Fire 3, and other RPGS circa 1997-98 and yet this game, I have to say, is my favorite among them all. A friend of mine had a copy and said it sucks but when I tried it, I was completely mesmerized over how awesome this game is, especially THE battles. I've tried all sorts of RPGS in the past but even up to now, I still consider the battles in Namco's "Tales" series to be the most action-packed and fun... the BEST for me to sum it up fully. ToD may have a slightly high encounter rate (which can be lessened by using a certain item) but what about it if the battles are exciting?
This game is fun and has hyper fast gameplay. The game has 15 characters which is not that much,but it is made up in fast,nice gameplay. Some people whine about the graphics and say its "bad" and compare it to Tekken, those games are not in the same category. The 2d games are drawn and 3d games are polygon based graphics they are different types of things. The Dreamcast joystick is no longer made,but still want to play the game?, I got a solution,get a Playstation 1/2 adapter and buy a ps2 or Psone joystick and then have fun just like the Arcade.
The most obvious improvement (in my opinion) is the click-and-hold attack. No more destroying mouse after mouse! Simply click on your target and hold the button down. You will continue to attack until your target dies... or you do.
The disc contained demos for a few other games however the two games of serious note were Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Metal Gear Solid.
Cars and SimCitizens move, so do some animated buildings, but certainly not EVERYTHING.
"Riven" is even more rewarding than "Myst" so much to the fact that it is sometimes speechless. There's five CDs to the game -- that's clearly enough for anyone to buy this game. Even as it starts out, you better look for clues. The developers made it so that if you do not look for enough information, you could go from one disc to another in less than 20 minutes.
6676 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario land was gameboy's top seller in 89 i had it but traded it in. For the PSP back then. but now this game is something that every Mario fan should have. And thats if you didn't get it when the game came out i mean this game is old because theres no savings in it so when you die you have to start over again.
You can play 2-player deathmatches which really kick arse. If you're alone and want to do a tournament match, you will fight and may win until you ask Calypso, the leader in the car combat series, for your ultimate wish to come true.

8724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Most fun game ever, I played this game non-stop for about 3 years, it's great in 2 player !
453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Same goes for Tekken 2: played but never owned. Now that I'm officially the best Tekken player period, the urge to own all of them, even the first 2, just consumed me....
Get 2 cause you won't be dissapointed. Its a psx classic. I have bin playing that game since I got it and that was about in 1998 wich is when it came out.
5779 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A friend had warned me away from this game, so for years I hesitated getting it. Now I am glad I picked up.
I thought they were hilarious.
4451 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I only recently discovered Gabriel Knight and immideately became hooked on the series. They involve very real feeling characters, historical facts tweaked juuust enough to make a mystery, and environments to explore that leave you with just the right feeling of creepyness.
6709 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game wasn't as juicy as the SNES, but I thought that being able to start out as a morphed ranger... was a bit boring, but what was good was being able to choose between the original 6 in a few stages, then a few with the 3 new ones (Rocky, Adam, and Aisha). Also, some stages where you can select which Zord to use was creative. Too bad the SNES didn't have that.
This time it is Squall, his fellow SeeDs, and the beautiful Rinoa. The story starts as a revolution, and then the characters discover that events are really being manipulated by a series of sorceresses who want to destroy the world so that they can rule it unchecked (I know that doesn't make any sense). All of this on a giant world make full of monsters convenient for leveling up.
When I got home and started playing it literally felt like the first time I experienced Atari or the Sega Genesis.
For all those people who played the good old days of n64 should have this game because is a memory of the n64 and the good old times of gaming.
4192 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Some games (such as The Sims) are addictive at first but quickly lose their appeal. Rollercoaster Tycoon is a game that keeps you interested because you continually discover new strategies. Furthermore, if you enjoy role-playing a computer game, Rollercoaster Tycoon allows you to "theme" your parks by changing the colors, names, scenery, etc..
If you're feeling any dismay whatsoever over the sagging Mario series, pop this puppy into your SNES (I assume if you're a REAL gamer, you've held onto yours) and give it the once-through. It's not too long, but it's also not so short as to be irritatingly easy. In fact, the last boss can manage to give me a real run for my money even at my age (20), where returning to your childhood favorites can run the risk of disappointing you with their easiness.
7182 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong 64 is great game that I've played on-and-off since the early 2000s. It's fun. You play as FIVE characters!! You don't see that much in games (especially today). It's family friendly and offers a pretty difficult challenge of getting a 101% (I've never done it to this day). The game starts out simple and gets more difficult as you progress through the areas. Another thing: this game is VERY long so don't expect to finish in a few days. It took me almost 4 months to get half way done upon first playing!! With a guide it may not be so hard though. Nevertheless, its very enjoyable and will keep you playing for hours straight
Other than that, the game is great, and you definitely should buy it!

9824 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite Sega Genesis games ever! I love the ending and the gameplay is hella fun! This game brings back memories of the 2d, 16 bit graphics days. This game is challenging but if you stick with it it is very fun. I love batmans' moves on this game but I especially love his kicks. The graphics are good for the Genesis but the playability and enjoyment are why you get this game!
Gameplay 5/5
6913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you for this.. This was a hit in my house as i knew it would be,. Great product great shipping and just great service..
I'm not particular a fantasy lover, I never read Tolkien's Lord of the Ring, I hate the Lord of the ring-movies and was insulted by the numerous Oscars the film(s) received.
Also, the musical score, though not as good as the one in VII, is GORGEOUS! The battle music for both bosses and regular monsters is beautiful: while the monster battles have more of a classical sound (strings leading in to a brass and wind attack), while the boss theme is more of a synth rock tune with rhythm guitar chugging away beneath the keys. The final battle music is beautiful, as is the music in the final level (Ultimecia castle). In fact, the music in Ultimecia castle sent chills down my spine when I first heard it, it is VERY creepy, with the organs blaring and the harpsichords beneath it. The bottom line: it doesn't have as wide of a variety of characters as many other Final Fantasy games do, but it has an eerie and atmospheric musical score that only Final Fantasy VII can beat. Buy it if you enjoy the series, especially VII and all the games after it.
192 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I was hesitant to buy this memory card because of the inconsistent reviews of "my carrying case" memory cards, but this thing is working perfectly. Saves and Loads games with no problem. Sony made a fortune with their puny 8MB cards. This is the exact same dimensions, and it holds 128MB. It seems they ran out soon after I bought mine. Sorry! I would definitely recommend this company and their memory cards based on the price and mine working perfectly with every game I've played so far. I'll update this review if the status of my card changes.

The plot is a little sugary and kiddie, but it's really just an excuse to send gamers on a Mario 64-style adventure, where completing tasks and puzzles in worlds will open up new worlds to explore. Yes it's pretty much a clone of Mario, but at the same time it refines and enhances the Mario formula. Players have more unique special moves at their disposal, and these are much more essential to navigating the environment and solving puzzles. Worlds are beautiful, creative, and expansive, tossing you into a room with a giant shark, a huge snowman, or a forest where you can actively move between the seasons. It's all topped by memorable music that changes to fit the environment, fades, or grows louder depending on where you are in the stage.
55 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Wish there was more room for future game guides.
Overall, this is quite a good port over to the original Playstation. Original DOOM is an all time classic with brilliant level design and awesome action that set the standard for years. Pick up this version used and fade away into that crazy soundtrack from another level of existence...
The game is rather easy, but not super easy. The secrets are well hidden, but not impossible to figure out. I feel that the difficulty was nicely balanced.
I highly recommend this game, it has NEVER bored me, and I've played it for years!
745 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Hard to believe it has been almost 20 years since the release of Goldeneye. It makes me feel old and decrepit. Those were the days of actually sitting down with your friend and playing multiplayer together. Xbox Live and online has since essentially ruined those days of genuine bro bonding. Now texting and Facebook has taken over anything social with letter writing and actually picking up the phone and calling someone is becoming rarer. It's sad really!
The graphics are better in the sense that they're more geared towards future development. Instead of pixel-based graphics, the creatures and rooms are now drawn with polygons. While that makes some of the monsters look clumsy, it does mean that future graphics will be much smoother and cleaner.
2974 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While this game may not be the very best RPG in my opinion, I must give this game credit for being able to finally throw the RPG genre into the mainstream for two gaming generations. This game was the first game in the series to feature stunning FMV with 3D character models in pre-rendered backgrounds, which was a major step up for the RPG world, considering that any RPG released before this one either only had 3D models during battle sequences or none at all, but of course graphics are not everything. Gameplay will always matter much more than the graphics in any game; it is the sole reason games are played, to enjoy the game itself with graphics just being an added bonus to the already great game itself.
If you have not played it, somethings wrong with you. Get it off eBay or something, because its worth it; I promise.
That said, driver installation is easy and has been hassle-free on my two iMacs and my iBook. USB plug-and-play almost always works without a snap, though I've found it's better to plug it in once the Finder is up instead of during the boot cycle.
It's a complete waste of money unless your some techhead who wants to marvel at it's shortcomings! Get Conectix VGS if your looking for a Playstation emulator on PC! ...What good is 3d card capabilities if it doesn't run any games to begin with?
7343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just bought this game last week after having not played it in 15 years. The moment I booted it up, the memories just came flooding back. The graphics haven't aged too well, but the design and controls were still great. I LOVE this game! I'm just glad my Saturn still works after all this time. Now I just need "Panzer Dragoon Zwei" and my nostalgia fix will be met.
3663 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This ismy favorite fighting game on my P.S. and I should say that I still don'get bored with it...The graphics are obviously developed,, you could notice the polygons are smaller and the characters are more realistic...Although there are bizarre characters (such as Gon, the little dinosaur, they add the fun to this game even though I don't use them that much..Namco should create more of this stuff.
Not only does the game come with Donkey Kong 64 but it also comes with the Expansion Pack, a green controller, and 2nd best system of all time, the Nintendo 64 and all its cables. I got mine in from Best Buy and it also came with the strategy guide. This was a steal then and now if you can find it it is probably an even better deal.
6408 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There are enough rave reviews here to get the point across, so I won't spend too much time. This game is addictive, historically fascinating (what if William Wallace did do battle with Genghis Khan?), and very easy on the eyes--the graphics are crystal clear. Just beware, you'll start playing, and without realizing it, the hours have flown by. The game never gets boring, and offers dozens of scenarios. Personal fave: attacking with elephants!
Tekken 3 really surprised me. But don't take that as a compliment. I went into Tekken 3 with hardly any experience with fighting games whatsoever. I took a break for 10 years with tournament fighters after all those lousy 2D Mortal Kombat games brought me to tears. Back then I figured "okay, either I don't like fighting games or maybe I just don't like the Mortal Kombat series". This was when Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 were popular on the Super NES and Genesis.
The Story here is that Samus Arron has defeated Mother Brain and her space pirates on Planet Zebes, her next assignment is the exterminate the Metroids. So it is from here that the game begins. You must eliminate 37 or so Metroids scattered throughout the caverns of the Planet, but the metroids are not like the ones from before, as these particular breed have mutated to a more evolved state.
The translation from the PC to the Playstation was flawless....hell, in my opinion, it's even better. You get all of the Doom and Doom II levels, and an additional 5 secret levels custom-made for the Playstation only. That's 59 total levels of mayhem....an immersive quest that you can NOT tear yourself away from.

Personally, I prefer this game over RE4 or RE5 any day. The horror element is strong in this title, not action-oriented like those other two games. The storyline and characters are excellent and well-done. For Leon's storyline, we see interaction and character development between him and the mysterious Ada Wong; for Claire, it's between her and the lost girl Sherry Birkin. The voice acting and writing for these characters are all done so well, which makes the game ahead of its time as corny voice acting was prevalent in most video games when this was released.
2382 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the funest Game Boy Color games ever! 150 pokemon? Wow!!!!!!!!!!! That's alot! Who's cares about graphics in this game,it's still fun! The gameplay and sound is reat as well. If you love this game but want better graphics or more stuff to do,then buy FireRed or LeafGreen Version! They are just as fun! I'd reccomend trying at least one of the versions: Red,Blue,Yellow,Silver,Gold,Cristel,FireRed,LeafGreen or Emerald. Don't get Ruby and Saphire tohugh,they stink.
7019 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a better enhanced version than the original. The Graphics are much sharper now. The Sound is better but Chick Hearns and Stu lances voice will iritate you with the same catch phrases once you play this game like 5 times. The presentation is improved as the courts look much real and the nba players look more like the ones in reality. Overall, more funner than the first and a little harder. So many ways easy ways to score baskets in the first did not totally work in the second. Oh well, I guess that is one cool thing about improving the game.
1504 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Without a doubt one of the worst games I've ever played. There is no creativity or excitement, nothing that makes you want to play more. You fight the same, boring enemies over and over in large numbers. All they do is bum rush you or occasionally throw a snowball. The AI in this game is a complete joke. Music is horribly forgettable, overall sound is okay. Graphics are bland and level designs look like they all were developed and programmed in a weekend. Each main character has a bit of in-game dialogue, and it quickly becomes repetitive and stale. AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON HOW ANNOYING THE TURKEY SOUNDS ARE.
1245 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I always hated the WCW. I was playing Warzone, Attitude and WWF titles for a long time. Then I somehow ended up owning this game and I inteneded to dissmiss it, but I found myself playing it more and more every day and eventualy loved it. I was happy to hear THQ got the rights to WWF and went from this to Wrestlmania and then the best game on the 64 NO MERCY. However, this is the foundation of where it started and I respect it for that. It brought a lot of awsome memorys and entertainment on hot summer nights. I recomend No Mercy over this, but this original version deserves your respect.
4621 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is nothing more than a sick joke. Really the story absolutely sucks (what motivates one through twenty hours of gameplay?), the humor tries to be funny but comes across as stale, the environment is tedious and boring, the difficulty is Schizophrenic i.e. hikes constantly especially when you fight against the Enclave. It's like the game itself is a parody of the original Fallout. If you want a masterpiece of a game, buy the original Fallout instead of this junk.
73 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is really quite the treat for collectors. The presentation is stunning - from the fun box to the sturdy books to the certificate proving the uniqueness of your set. For the hardcore Zelda fan this both useful for strategy and cool as a keepsake.
Perfection.
6944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably the best animated Disney adaptation to a game. This game is hard but rewarding.
7943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hands down, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is the best action/rpg ever made.
2534 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No visible damage, battery works great, and the game plays fine with no technical difficulties. It really is as if it's new!
It grabs you and most important: it's interactive (duh) for it's a game, you're not watching a crap fantasy movie, but playing the hero all by yourself, when he looses, you loose etc.
The best part about this game is the story. Honestly, RPG's have the best storys, but this game can top almost any rpg in story. We learn about 2 snakes, and how they believe things. Liquid Snake.... he talks about being a flawed snake and such, and whenever he talks it's always interesting to the point where I want to hear it every game.
this was the first game(s) I ever bought and was hoping for a good space flying/shooting sim that's fun and not too difficult. I got half of what I wanted...it looks good and the tutorials are fun and simple, but like most of these type games, most of us can only finish the first 2 levels before being inundated with unenjoyably heavy fleets and relentless laser fire.
great story line, great wepons, great multiplayer.
2 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 found the game a bit too complicated, not what I expected after having played 1602, 1503, and 1701
The internet site allows you to download various rollercoaster designs and there are fan websites set up that also allow you to download their designs. So far, with the patches, I have not encountered any game crashes...
So, what made the game different? Basically, two things (in my opinion). The first, as talked about above, is the storyline. Yeah, it's the typical, "save the world" stuff that can be found in oodles of other RPGs, but this it is different - it was deep, filled with twists and turns, and was more like an actual story you would find in a novel. Some would say the story borders on being convoluted (a complaint I have a hard time arguing with), but it holds up well today and was nothing short of groundbreaking 10-15 years ago.
How many times have you beat this game?
1181 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 posibly the best game i ever played !
The premise of Blast Corps is pretty simple: clear a pathway for the missile carrier. For some strange reason the carrier is carrying two unstable nuclear warheads that will go off at the slightest touch, and some genius decided that it'd be a good idea to have the thing on auto-pilot. You basically exercise the classic horror film clich: run as fast as you can from the slow-moving antagonist to stay alive, breaking everything in your path to reach safety. Thankfully, you have powerful vehicles and giant robots in your arsenal of demolition machines.
Also cool is running into other Nintendo characters, such as Link from the Zelda series or Samus from the Metroid games. Even Yoshi makes an appearance. I get the impression that Nintendo wanted to include these other major characters not primarily to be "easter eggs", but because this Nintendo game was meant to be the end of Nintendo in the 16 bit era, and it's like a farewell to an era.
Awesome new enemy's like -
8340 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 this game is too old to work on todays OS's. After many attempts with dos-box and other emulation software I gave up.
9016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game offers a variety of gameplay and never gets repetitive. You WILL keep going to finish the game. The graphics are awesome because this was the first or one of the first games on the snes to use Pre-rendered graphics. That means that the graphics aren't generated on the spot. The graphics are still spectacular even in today's standards. The story behind this is K-Rool took your banannas and you want them backs so you chase him.
I truly believe that half-life does not support lightmaps, lightmaps is increasing the visual quality of the game, but decreases performance, so answer this question. Ps, I'm 13 years old son of DeborahMerlin, don't worry my mom is more than crazy!
511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomb Raider 2 is by far the best sequel game out right now. Lara kicks way more...in this one then in the first. Some of the reasons why are listed here:
The graphics are reasonable but nothing to get excited over. The sound is OK with stuff right out of the movies, but even with the best speaker system, it still sounds like it's coming out of a walki-talkie. Game play makes up for any and all short comings however.
Now many say making the rollercoaster is hard. Well, it won't be hard if people used common sense. And after a while, it won't be that challenging as you'll be making coasters, underground, going through one another, into the water, and etc,etc.
Play this game you will be happy you did.
- Remember, if you buy later games for the N64 such as Kirby 64, Paper Mario, or Mario Party 3, you will probably need the Expansion Pak because it can handle the slightly improved graphics.
Axl and Blaze are essentially similar. Both represent the "in-between" character in terms of speed and power. Axl is slightly slower and has more power while Blaze is slightly faster with less power. A finesse player will probably enjoy playing as Blaze. Skate is the embodiment of pure speed with little power, and only an expertly finesse player will be able to master the challenge of being constantly on the move and attacking aggressively. Finally, Max is a giant hulk that dominates with incredible power, yet is slow as an ox. I always found it slightly odd that Max's bio lists him as being a former pro-wrestler since he is obviously cut from the same mold as Final Fight's Haggar, who was also a playable character in the pro wrestling game Saturday Night Slam Masters. It makes me wonder if it was done deliberately.
The controls are easy enough to master, and any avid or casual gamer will easily master them with a little practice. The sound is superb. The graphics are good, for an N64 title. There is not a dull moment in this game, and the attention to detail is amazing. The puzzles, the meat of the game, are easy enough for older kids to have a challenge and not to hard for younger kids. The puzzle peices, your reward for completeing a puzzle, are well hidden. The musical notes, the only way to advance to the next portion of the overworld, are challenging to find. The most fun part of the game, visiting Mumbo, is quite enjoyable. He transforms you into various forms. A fat walrus, a termite, and even a bumble bee. There isn't really an advancing story, but that's okay. You get an occasional cinematic, but it's pretty basic.
I completed _Sanitarium_ in about 30 hours. If I had a complaint it was that the ending was a little rushed and I felt that all the gaps in the story hadn't been filled in. Still, compared to the bulk of games that are being released today, this is a great find and a worthwhile buy! If you like older adventures, _Sanitarium_ is a must.
9324 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Saturn was a colossal failure in both sales and actual games. However in the ashes a few gems sparkled. Panzer Dragoon defined the rail shooter genre which is long gone. This game is one of the few reasons to even own a Saturn. With an in depth story line and the best 32bit graphics of the era this game will not disappoint you. You will come back multiple times to save the mysterious land you fight for and ride the blue dragon to victory against the evils of the empire that took everything you had.
- Play addictive and fun mini-games
The view, the level of story telling. Couple this with my original introduction to this game which was a PSM disc that was being given out with Pizza Hut orders in my local village.
7468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Along with Mario 64, Wave Race was one of my intro games to the N64.
The combos are sweet. 4/5
and the battery stopped saving games. This has to be one of the best Zelda games ever, if you've played it and beaten
5795 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The Game is sow Boring the story is not good at all final 7 is so much beter get that ...
2) The second drastic improvement is audio/visual quality. Most people that don't understand how computer games really work or don't know all the technical terms, have a commen misconception that this expansion pak is supposed to improve the graphics in a way that might take the console beyond it's 64 bit capabilities. This isn't true. Rather, the expansion pak improves color quality and helps to reduce the blurry effect of the colors in most games, creating better visual clarity. Much of the blocky character sprites (but not all of course) will appear smooth and less blockish or choppy. With the improved framerate you may even notice how the environment in some games can pan out further while maintaining a smooth look, allowing the player to see further away from the character than they could with the jumper pak.
Anyways, the actual game is my 2nd favorite of all time. Not easy to get onto my list but this game does it. I was playing Metal Gear Solid 2 the other day and realized that it can never compare with what this game has achieved.
9540 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As any Capcom guy would know, MegaMan is the hardest game series the company had ever created. Ever since the original NES version, it was hard. But it was still a great game. The Game Boy version, released after the NES sequel, was no exception.
2255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have one of these for my N64 ( of course ) & it works just fine.
Anyone who enjoyed 'Revenge' will no doubt get a kick out of Shinobi III.
9763 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It is a bit harder for a first-time gamer of Gran Turismo series..But GT2 is awesome..It has to be released in 2 discs because it has a lot to offer like more tracks, more modes, cars, etc.
- it's a bargain... If you're buying a PSone over this gem then I can't think of an other reason than you're plain stupid. The DC doesn't deserve all the negative publicity it got!
9815 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game when it first came out. Res2 was a smash hit for me and i love every time i played it.
1545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, we still have a N64. It is built like a tank, and Nintendo made tons of games appropriate for small children. I highly recommend this game for your N64 collection. My sons (ages 10 and 12) and their friends still enjoy playing this game, and we have had it for more than five years already. (We also have a PS2 and Wii system.) This is one game that the kids go back to time and time again.
Overall, this game is one of the best fighting games that I have ever played. With plenty of characters to learn, plenty of modes to choose from, amazing looking backgrounds, and a terriffic combat system, there is no reason to skip this game. If you still have a ps1/ps2, BUY THIS GAME. I recommend this game wholeheartedly, and you won't regret it at all.
MagSec4: The MagSec4 is not a grand weapon and is only available once on Single Player but it's certainly not a bad gun and is terribly deadly when paired. It's not extremely accurate, but it fires fast and loads quick, just like the Falcon2.
Overall (4/10): Note this score is not an average, it's my subjective overall score. I must say, given the flaws of this game, I'd never play it again. It's too bad really, it could've been a decent game if the makers had cut out the middle of the "plot" and fixed the glitches. I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they absolutely have played every other good RPG out there and are just dying for something else to play. Even then, it may be better to just replay an old favorite instead.
- Really fun game to play considering the characters, fights and "story".
Story 10/10:
As always, could have been just as good without all of the gore. Also, this game had plenty of coursing in it. I'm not sure why they didn't include this in their rating, since it's obviously there. Just a warning to let you know that the rating of 17 and up is properly given. Another thing I was disappointed with was the plot. You never find out what happens to yourself or Freemen, you never find out who the G-man is who tracks you in both Half-Life and Op Force, and you never find out why the Government sent you and your buddies in, and then decided to kill you with MORE army grunts. Maybe I'm missing something here. I hope all my questions will be answered in Half-Life 2.
4354 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's very entertaining. The missions are pretty cool. This is a huge game. The online component makes it a blast!
8704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once again, you just sort of had to have lived back then to understand the rivalry between Sega and Nintendo.
Another great addition is the incorporation of heart containers. These containers serve to increase your vitality ever so much (about 4 bars). There are 8 to find in all and locating them only adds to the fun factor and advanced gameplay. There is a secret power up familiar to those of you who are street fighter fans, but...I won't spoil it for you here. It's a secret!
What's not to like? Well, it's short. You can probably nail the game from beginning to end in less than 7 hours, but it's a testament to how good it is that you wish it was longer, in some senses. I still don't feel like I was cheaped out of my ... by any means.
8898 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 10 star would buy from again thank you.
I give it two stars for the cool music and graphics for its time. But that alone will not make a great game. You may be tempted to pick this up if you love Mortal Kombat and the price is right. DON"T DO IT!! This is an example of how Midway had great ideas for this game but executed these great ideas very poorly.
9543 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is one of the best games for the playstation i've ever played. it's just great.
3004 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me get this out of the way: I came late to Final Fantasy VII. I played Final Fantasy Adventure on the original Game Boy as a kid, and now that I've grown up into a gamer I figured I'd better go back and play some of the "classics," and FF-VII was near the top of every list I could think of. So this review will be free of nostalgia, since I didn't ever play the game before two months ago.
9652 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quick delivery, and just as described. Thanks so much!!
Tip: Make sure you know what kind of sound card you have installed on your computer, because you have to tell the game which kind to use. It took me a few days to figure out which one I had installed.
The new item system builds on the system in Diablo. On top of stuff like 'Obsidian Amulet of Stability,' you can also find set items, which are several items which, if worn together, have some sort of bonus associated with them. However, it's difficult to put a set together, and the bonus is not always worth the effort. Also, you can find seven different types of gems, each of which can be one of five different qualities (chipped, flawed, et al) Each gem gives a certain ability to a weapon, a helmet, or a shield, including increased stats, increased elemental defense, increased chance to find magic items.
5366 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Good: Great graphics, smooth controls, gory and brutal Fatalities, well balanced
Only one complaint, and that is that the camera angle loves to change when you are at the most challenging parts. Anytime you need to use your flying thingy and it's for going somewhere difficult, the camera changes and you can't see where your destination is. It gets a bit annoying after you die a few times, but I did eventually get past the frustration and finished the game. This game is great for young kids and adults alike.
The best part may be how immersive it is. Alpha Centauri boasts leaders with unique personalities that shape how you interact with one another. Whenever you research a technology, it features original quotes by these leaders (and occasionally by other less important figures) that can be funny, enlightening, and possibly even mind-boggling. Add to that a veritable storyline that has different outcomes based on the methods you use to beat the game and it is probably the most creative and fully-realized fictional universe put into a strategy setting.
-3 disc, more then 40 hours of gameplay and tons of stuff to do to extend the time period of the games length
4813 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was my favorite in 1995. Today, it is a classic that I still go back and play from time to time. The campaign was endless fun, also very difficult. The multiplayer was awesome for the time, although there is no one online anymore. If you're looking to enjoy a major gem of the mid-90s, then this game is it. Also, if you played World of Warcraft you will notice many characters referenced in that game were main characters in this game. For instance Alleria is a statue in Stormwind in WoW, but in this game she is a main Ranger for the humans. So you not only get the awesome nostalgic feel from the game (great voice work and music), but also you get the connection to WoW.
Ignore all of these peole saying it's "nothing special" because they compare it to everything that came after it. In 1997 this game was TON of fun, but if you are going to buy it now and expect bells and whistles like all the more current RPG's then you will be disapointed. I have nothing bad to say about FF7, it's a great game and will always be one of my all time favorites.
4087 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Boy this is a tough one to write about. How can I fairly review a game that has resided on my hard drive since the very day it was released? For the technical minded, Half-Life (H-L) is based on a modified Quake 2 engine, but the modifications simply blow Quake away in almost every aspect. Valve made an excellent move with this choice. It is well known in the gaming community that Quake's engine has some of the most stable networking code in the business. Too bad the video compatibility is a little odd. For the gamer at heart, this game may have a . . . half life longer than Quake itself. Valve made a good move allowing the gaming community to have the WorldCraft level editor and other SDK software. What this means to the average player is that a simple jaunt to a good web page, will yield every manner of new levels, characters, and baddies to download and install to their hearts content. And with Valve's Op-for expansion pack, this game will take up a large amount of space on a lot of hooked players' computers.
Now for the bad stuff: like all her known previous adventures, Samus goes this one alone and, unlike the the Nintendo Power comic, does not interact with any other characters. This, in my opinion, can make the game feel kind of lonely, especially when there is also no sunshine to brighten the area.
7453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i don't play the 64 much anymore and even thought about selling it and all my games to my brother but i kept them and once in a while i will get it out and play it and this game is really fun. i like doing a hand stand on the top of the ramp while my brother flys up the ramp and hits my character off his machine and he goes flying. its really funny. we also play chicken and race toward each other and try to do a trick right before we hit.

5842 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has it all, plus the original things of the first part of the series, (roller coaster tycoon). It has many more scenarios, that means more places to put the sweetest new rides. It also has a ton of updates, restaurants, rides, roller coasters. From gentle rides, to fast, jerky, and thrilling roller coasters. Its so addicting you'll be wanting to throw it away. But if you love computer games this is a game for you no matter what kind of games you like. Once you start playing, the game grabs you and doesn't let go. You can buy more land in your parks, build your own custom designs of roller coasters, and build the best theme parks you can. Its a great game, BUY IT!

7670 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After hearing tons of good reviews for this game, i decided to give it a try. Anyway, I picked up Suikoden not really knowing what to expect, and I was surprised. For an RPG that came out before Final Fantasy 7, it was quite good.
492 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OH YES....this game is what it's all about. Sure, it looks totally archaic now with its primitive low-polygon 3D (cf. Lara's Madonna-style pyramid breasts) and jerky low frame rate - BUT WHO CARES. "Tomb Raider" was one of the first fully-realized 3D games, with huge environments and a camera that lets you explore them fully - something next-gen developers still seem to have a problem with sometimes - and, of course, best of all, an action hero that players across the board could instantly connect with. Yes, Lara Croft - men want her, women want to be her...lol. Forget about her later misadventures on celluloid and (worst of all) the PS2 platform. Even on the PS1, all the new innovations in graphics and AI that cropped up in subsequent TR installments couldn't improve upon the originality of gameplay you have here in the debut. The puzzles, the secrets, the at-times relentless action, this game has it all.
9696 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game was an extremely easy game that you can beat in 15 minutes. All you do is take pictures of dumb Pokemon. Then when you beat the game you have to try to beat the computers impossible scores. THAT'S IT, DO NOT BUY
3669 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I read a lot of reviews on this game before buying it, so maybe my expectations were a little high. The graphics here are really not that different in quality from X-Men MA2 (actually, the backgrounds in X-Men are more dynamic). The fighting is good here though, and the characters really do have distinct fighting styles that give you quite the challenge in Arcade mode. They also tend to defend themselves more here, so your every kick or punch won't connect like you want it to. If you're buying for a good fighting game, then you shouldn't be disappointed...but if you're buying expecting graphics that are unlike anything you've ever seen before, you may be.
In StarCraft there are three races, the noble protoss, the vicious zerg, and unstable terrans, which wage ware against each other in an epic struggle for survival. Each race has their own type of units which do not correspond to units from any of the other race and Each race has their own strengths and weakness.
7917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes the graphics are 16bit. But they hold up so well. OoT looks dated and is almost non-playable amongst the newer standards of the next gen 3d graphics (the draw distances are terrible). But LttP was and is at the fore front of sprite based games and is a hoot not only for nostaglia but also something I will offer to future generations of gamers as a true classic. What great story, and twists, and fun gameplay. Like a favorite moview that you cherish and want to relive, I take my time to enjoy each aspect and have never raced to get through. A rarity in gaming.
This is a beautiful game and it will always be one of my favorite games on the DreamCast. It isn't really as fun as Sonic 1 or 2 on the Genesis, simply because it is heck lot more complicated...but if you like
203 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And at 128mb you will die before you run out of room on it.
There's no telling what will happen. Zombies will simply continue walking up to you until a puddle of blood forms on the ground, confirming they're finally dead. I like the added special touch of having zombies dressed in a police uniform, in addition to having female zombies walk up to you and attack. You don't want to hurt a female zombie but, you know, it's either you or her that dies. Decide!
There are a few minor problems like Shang Tsung's morphs require loading, load times between menu and fights, plus the game will freeze some times which is no good. I also wish maybe Test your Might would have come back, but this really just feels like Mortal Kombat: The Greatest Hits. I also hate how cheap the computer can be on even normal difficulties, plus Shao Kahn is one of the cheapest bosses in gaming history so good luck beating him. Overall this is the ultimate MK experience for the 16-bit era that made history. If you loved the older MK games then Trilogy is exactly what you need plus this is probably the last time you'll see Animalities and Brutalities.
3537 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast was a lot of fun but was hamstrung by a lack of 3rd party developer support. Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Worms: Armageddon, Street Fighter 3...but it wasn't enough. Capcom was the only 3rd party developer who seemed to give it an honest chance. The others held out for the Playstation 2.
Some have criticized the fact that this game has "too much story" in it. I may be biased (even if I play an anti-hero, I like him having some motivation to pursue a course of action), but I didn't feel that the story took anything away from the gameplay.
as crisp, detailed, and colorful as a 32-bit platformer could be, Tomba looks and plays great for its time, its pure fun. this is the Mario of the 32-bit era. and thats saying a lot. a classic in the strongest sense of the word. its a shame how much you have to pay for a copy of this fantastic game anymore, but its worth every penny. 5/5
I cannot say enough good things about this game. Especially in a time when FPS are 10 a penny. This has new elements like the save options, 3 game modes and vision modes that makes this a cut above most other FPS out there. This game has added to the FPS genre for sure. You can almost hear the cries of "Game over man, game over!". Go get it now!
just shows you how devoted to its fans the SNES was commited to
With so many cool features and amazing gameplay, the only disappointment with "Max" is its length. Because after 10 to 15 hours of complete immersion, it's over. Still, with the included editor, game geeks from all over the world will be creating mods to further Max's bloodlust. Oh, and one other note: Payne works better on fast machines with updated graphics cards, so be sure you've got a 700 MHz or better unit running with some heavy RAM (128 or above; 256 is clutch) and a GeForce2 or above.
4524 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Alien VS Predator is the best "Alien" game released to date (I was actually fond of Alien Trilogy) and has a lot going for it. You can play as a marine, alien or predator. Playing as the Alien is the easiest and is pretty difficult to master as first. You will need to climb on walls, learn to pounce, and sneak up on your targets. As the Predator, you will need to use your fast arsenal of weapons, visions and invisibility features to win. The scariest and most fun character is the marine. You will need to collect weapons, health and watch your back at all times. You never know when an Alien is around the corner. And if you see or hear a face hugger, you better start shooting or run for your life. If one gets you, you WILL jump from your seat! The only drawbacks is that the save game feature is lame (if you download the patch, otherwise, there isn't a save game feature,) and the game will give you extra levels at the end, ONLY if you beat the game at a higher difficulty. Other than that, if you like the Alien movies, get this! I give this title a B+.
8489 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I really never understood the craze of this game. If you can get past ryu's ki blasts thdn he uppercuts you and starts shooting at you again. If you manage to make it to bison he stands on your head over and over until you die. Same with chun li. If you can get past sagats flying discs then he uppercuts you. If you try to attack guile he does his knee saber thing. Balrog gets you in a corner and stuns you with each hit and blocking still lowers your health, but attacking makes you get hit and die. The game at medium difficulty abuses the meta knowledge it has where if you punch and it punches, the favor is in the games timing and details so much that you are the one that gets hit. Plainly, the game is not fun due to a a computer tgat absurdly measures everything to its advantage to where every time you attack the game has measured and counter attacks flawlessly like a kid playing a master at chess. I hold my own in fighting games and am well versed in them, but the meta knowledge kills this game for me. # star because i honestly don't enjoy this game anymore. As a kid with nosalgia maybe, buy now as an adult, no.
It is a lot of fun though and if you leave it laying around in an old gameboy color your friends are bound to pick it up.
The PROS: This game will keep you busy for awhile as there are over 40 levels to explore and it's challenging as well. The game looks great when you use the expansion pack (though it isn't required) and the sounds and music keep you in the mood. While the story is pretty basic (but funny), the cut scenes keep it moving and make you want to find out what happens next. It's a fun game overall and you'll have no trouble getting used to how to control Rayman.

6426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of the Empire: Age of Kings is the better of the three launched versions of Age of the Empires. With great graphics, more options and greater control of your game, Age of the Empires allows the player to control what kind of game they like. Unlike the original version of Age of the Empires you can increase your total population to up to 200, which many times is what is needed in order to achieve world domination. One hint, you must have a very fast proccessor in order to play the game smoothly.

8214 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overall I think this is a pretty fun game for something on the system. Though at some point it is impossible to go on because of the card key. But at this time there might be some guide for that hidden item. But it is still quite fun.
2158 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My order of this item arrived as it was described. Having an N64 Expansion Pak isn't absolutely necessary, but if you want the most out of your N64, getting one of these is something to consider.
It's definitely different than the first. In the first there were only an handful of human enemies and this one is loaded with them. Making you more carful to conserve ammo and medi packs.
Alpha 3 introduced an incredible World Tour mode, enabling players to tour the world (if you will) fighting various characters under various conditions. These tasks may be as simple as defeating an opponent to as complex as defeating three opponents with only super combo moves whilst your character is low on health. Completing these objectives unlock abilities that can be linked to your character, such as automatic blocking, taking zero damage while blocking, infinite guard, and more. On top of that, characters built up during World Tour mode are playable in other many of the other modes.
Highly recommend this as only Resident Evil 2 is a better representation of the survival horror genre when it was at its peak in the late 90s.
9447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a kid I always used to play my sister's game systems. Most of the Mario games were a little hard for me so one day my sister brought this game home from the store and told me to try it instead. I began playing this game and immediately fell in love. This game was challenging but was easy enough for someone around the age of 8 to play. Yoshi is the main character and you play as him and baby Mario. I really loved that it was a different take on something so familiar to me. So now that I'm all grown up I decided to buy a system of my own to let the kids in my family play on. And what better game than this to let them play with? All of the kids seem to live the game! It ushered in Yoshi's Wooly World and made the kids familiar with Yoshi as a character and his abilities. Great game, definitely worth checking out!
Gamers out there that look for games to have dazzling graphics and quick button pressing and fast paced gameply will dislike this game. This game is all for the storyline and customization of it's characters.
the money system has also changed. instead of earning money in battles, you earn a salary based on your SeeD ranking, which you can increase by performing certain action throughout gameplay and by taking the SeeD Ranking tests at Balamb Garden.
8709 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ah, sonic the Hedgehog. The game that established the Genesis as a figure in gaming, the character that became a pop culture icon (at least in the gaming world, but it went a little further), was able to stand right beside Mario, and lest I forget, gave Nintendo the first taste of competition. I had a Genesis, but I sold it, but after playing it on the great Sega Genesis collection on my PSP, the old days returned. This game was a classic in so many ways.
I would encourage other Final Fantasy Fans to purchase this game if they haven't already.
If you are looking for a real flight sim that has ture reallistic flight of the aircraft and working cockpits, this is not for you. Try A10-warthog or wings over europe or wings over vietnam or IL-2. These are flight sims and run well on any solid sysetm with xp or windows 7 running.

Whatever the case between Mario, Sonic, and Crash Bandicoot, let me just say that it is the sillier games like these three game series that have truly lasted as opposed to the countless gorefests that video games that are forced down our throats.
What I did not realise is that this is NOT a shoot 'em like Unreal Tournament or Quake 3, for example when you are a Mech you send your team in to do the fighting for you.
The CG opening never appears in the game
Forced to disarm after its humiliating defeat in a war with Shinra fifteen years ago, Wutai now peddles its ancient and unique culture to tourists from the very lands that defeated them. It is a land of many deities, but most of its inhabitants no longer believe in them as strongly than they used to. Much generation friction exists in Wutai over the war and adherence to custom and tradition. Wutai is also full of pagodas, ninja, and giant Buddha statues. If you haven't already guessed that this place is an almost perfect analogue to Japan (and most of Southeast Asia), well...
I was disappointed at the fact that this did not work on my PlayStation 2 since that is what I was purchasing it to play on. All the PlayStation 2 controllers work on the PlayStation 1 so I already had a controller that worked on mine, and I don't have any two player PlayStation 1 games right now. This purchase turned into a useless accessory since it did not work on what I hoped to use it for.
840 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goldeneye 007 on the now obsolete Ninetndo 64 is still to this day my favourite game of all time. Before the Nintendo 64 arrived i was a massive Sega fan, nothing anyone said could put me off my Sega obsession. And then i played Mario 64 and everything changed. I went out and swapped my Sega Saturn and all it's games for a brand new Nintendo 64 and a second hand copy of Mario 64 and i never looked back. Then allmost a year later Goldeneye 007 arrived and introduced me to a whole new genre. You see before Goldeneye, i had never played a first person shooter so it was all new to me. I also happened to be a huge James Bond fan at the time so i was quite excited about playing this for the first time, and i was not dissapointed. Everything about this game just worked so well, it had the right feel a bond game should have. It was also one of the most addictive multi-player games ever. Me and me mates would spend hours playing this game. The weapons are some of the best ever in a first person shotter. The snipper riffle in particular was awsome to use and the tank levels were so much fun. Since Goldeneye there been some trully amazing shooters including the brilliant Half-Life, but for some reason i have yet to play a game that has that same magic as Rare's wonderful game. If you haven't played this yet then you don't know what you're missing.
They've come out with a second edition of this game (wow, so quick?) Perhaps this version works?
I was initially frustrated with this product, due to a bug in the software that prevents its being installed on certain PC's, but after downloading the patch (when can we expect software companies to actually finish the product before putting it on the market?) and receiving some advice from Simon & Schuster's tech support (which was surprisingly easy to reach and helpful), my irritation was dispelled as I sat back and began to enjoy the game.
To name more bonus games- there's a few top-down maze levels where you have to avoid foes Metal Gear Solid-style and find the exit under a specific time limit, shooting faraway barely visible floating bees, using a rock shooter bazooka gun to take out swarms of surrounding spawning enemies, trying to shoot a zigzag walking alligator a certain number of times in a dark room while only having one small circle of light for guidance, rabbit chasing to the finish line, a few VERY tricky and overlong mine cart games that strangely take several minutes to complete, a time-based miniature top-down view of mine racing while trying to avoid taking a track that leads into an enemy, the Diddy jetpack games (which aren't necessarily bonuses but are highly challenging nonetheless- more like mini bonuses you'll stumble upon while usually entering certain factory rooms) are REALLY hard to control but with plenty of patience can be exciting, and my personal favorite- the flyswatter game. Gotta love smacking flies! There's a forest maze which is enormously difficult due to wonky camera angles and a short time limit that you'll discover later on in the game. Oh and if I haven't mentioned it yet, perhaps the scariest thing EVER occurs- a spooky deep voice saying "Get Out" during certain bonus games. The voice seriously reminds me of those old Nightmare on Elm Street films! Anyway the bonus games are often enjoyable- just inconsistent in challenge.
1595 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product fast shipping
The card game is more or less a waste of time, I'd rather have things like VII's snowboarding and motorcycle minigames. Unlike either of those, it is neither fun nor easy to get into. If you want to commit even more time to this game then by all means master the card game. Don't say I didn't warn you though.
467 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I'm going to fly in the face of convention wisdom and assert that Tomb Raider is not a good game. I like the concept, the puzzle solving and exploration. I like that it's a great diversion from the standard shoot-em up. The problem is with the tedious game play. The game is tough, just from the mental standpoint and it takes some effort to figure out what you're supposed to be doing in each level. But that's part of the fun, figuring things out. Unfortunately, it's moving through the levels and getting from point A to point B that is problematic. There are way too many places where you have to make a pinpoint precision jump or other move with absolutely NO margin for error. In some cases this means you fall somewhere and have to climb back to your starting point, or in some cases you die, meaning you have to start the whole level over again. And after trying one of these jumps over and over and over, you finally get frustrated and give up. There were instances where I tried a jump over and over, and then suddenly made the jump and had no idea what I had done differently from the previous numerous attempts. For any game to be that touchy is just a disgrace. It's too bad, I think I could have liked this game but the tedious pinpoint controller movements ulitmately ruined the game for me. I know it's one of PSX "greatest hits" and very popular, but if don't like tedious games, you'll want to avoid this one.
7748 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Again, another great game! Same deal with this one, I can play it over and over again and never get sick of it!
3115 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think that this is the greatest game ever done by Squaresoft. I say the Weapons were the best part besides the cool equip weapons like speacials (Ultimate Weapons) or Summons were also pretty cool. I spent many hours on this game but still I never got all the things. I think the most funnest part of it was finding or buying things you neede. The battles were pretty fun too. John
6859 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so much fun! There are so many levels and they are all different. After 2 levels you have to fight the boss: Dr. Robatnik. The levels have there own unique enemy animals and bugs, all of which are killed by different methods. You can power up and zip across the levels as you roll at lightning speeds. There are bumpers and loop-de-loops scattered all across the levels. This is a definite buy for owners of Genesis. It is worth the [$$$]. You must buy!
The graphics are much better, more detailed, and the motions of the units are better.

5255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just recently have found myself owning a Playstation, and you need games to use it properly right? Well I rented this gem and let me tell you...what fun! I had never before in my life played any Tomb Raider title, I knew that they were quite popular so I thought that I'd give it a try. At first I was really mad-I own a N64 so I was used to a certain kind of game control, and it wasn't the kind that Tomb Raider The Last Revelation uses. I kept thinking "What is the big fuss-you can't even control her! What is everyone thinking! . This is so twisted and sick". I worked at it and soon found out why Lara's adventures are wildly popular. They are so fun! I got used to moving Lara(I don't use the joystick)and soon was having so much fun that I never want to put the game away. Searching through the ancient Egyptian tombs is a blast. I am really into to Egypt so I may be a bit partial to the scenrio...but I can't help it. So far the game is quite a challenge, it makes you think; finally accomplishing whatever puzzle you are stumped at it a great feeling, and I don't look forward to returning it(which means I have to make a purchase very soon). I ordered Tomb Raider Classic because it was a good price(...-you can beat that) and I think I should start at the beginning anyway, but don't worry I will pick this title up too. The graphics are great and the training level was very very helpful. Like I said I haven't played any of the other games in the series but I look forward to trying those out as well. When all is said and done this is a great game and I am very happy to tell you about it.

1249 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Once again, Crash Bandicoot takes a big step up to greatness! "Crash Bandicoot 3: WARPED" was fantastic! It was even better than the second one. Better graphics, story, music, and gameplay. The enemies were fun just like in the first one and the new vehicles available were awesome, like the bi-planes, space fighter, Pura the Tiger, and the jet-ski. Also, it wasn't as difficult to gather the Crystals and Gems as it was in the second part. The environments were better and the new powers that Crash Bandicoot acquires are totally awesome: the Super Belly-Flop, Speed Shoes, Death-Tornado Spin Attack, and the totally awesome Fruit Bazooka! This is definitely one of the best of the games in the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. You Crash fans MUST get this game!
Now I think the reason that most of you think this game sucks is because it has been 7 years, 7 YEARS!! since this game hit the shelves and every year we see new games and flashier graphics. And you DARE compare this game to a PS2 GAME!!!! It's just not fair. The capabilities of the PSX could never, in a million years, rival that of the PS2's capabilities. It's just not gonna happen.
Beautifully orchestrated music. This is one of the highlights of this game.

Although there isn't a ton of it, the voice acting is another major strong point in this game that I wanted to mention. Another thing I like is that you level up A LOT in this game. You start out as sort of weak, but by the end of the game you are a bad, bad man, and that's something I always like in my RPGs.
But there are shortcomings, they are significant, and they need to be admitted to. First off, the graphics are just terrible by today's standards. Forget history--I want to know if this thing's going to look good right now, and this is probably the worst game in the entire series in terms of current presentability. The CG movies, while impressive, are exceeded with flagrant ease by every other subsequent Square release, the screens are drawn in a fuzzy fashion that gave me a headache if I tried to play for more than two hours in a row, and the game suffers from severe graphical design schizophrenia. While I have enough imagination to reconcile the blocky, superdeformed character models used through most of the game with the slick, properly proportioned CG figures, that will definitely cause some people trouble. While this game was certainly visually impressive when it came out, these days it just doesn't cut muster, and you need to keep that in mind when you pick it up (even it's next closest sequel in the series was infinitely better--you WILL notice the graphics problems).
-An age with a spinning building.
Of course, the visual aspect is important too, and it's just as key to gameplay. As a thief, often evading confrontation rather than inviting it, your best bet is generally to stay in the shadows as much as possible letting guards and others pass while you remain unseen, waiting. A light meter at the bottom of the screen helps you know when you are visible to others and when you are not, but the excellent lighting effects of the game provide plenty of clues as to which areas are safe and which are brightly lit. When you need darkness in a lit area, sometimes the only way to get it is to put some torches out for yourself. The graphics of "Thief" are very good overall, but the lighting effects are what really stand out in terms of excellence, especially due to the fact that light is as critical a tool and sound. Bear in mind that the dark places in "Thief" can hide an enemy just as effectively as it can hide you... and sometimes, they do.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
It also features some of the finest FMV sequences to grace the PS1, topping the work of Final Fantasy VIII. The in game graphics leave a lot to be desired though. This is another game I would like to see remade for GCN, however Konami has taken a very stubborn anti-GCN stance, the likelyhood that this will happen is slim.

Suites the game well with a upbeat tune. Stage themes fit the stages well and music doesnt go over board to ruin it.-street fighter 4 ruined many classic character themes by adding something that doesnt belong in the theme. (love astro man stages theme and tengu man s as well.)

The problem is that younger gamers may be put off by the game's difficulty. Yeah, it is challenging, but some find it to actually be TOO challenging. Nevertheless, this is a gem that you should buy in case you have a Playstation lying around.
6081 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I used to own this game for the PlayStation One when I was younger, and I can still remember the levels and how long me and my cousin would spend playing this. The game was pretty awesome for it's time, and is still pretty neat and something I consider collectible. However as far as gameplay value goes, it's nothing spectacular in my eyes. The game is difficult as all hell, no matter your gaming experience or age, and it just gets downright frustrating occasionally. But if you're looking to fill that nostalgic void in your heart, look no further.
GFs can be summoned into battle, and have their own HP. when a GF is summoned, a time bar appears, similar to your active time bar, that depletes at a speed that is directly tied to your compatabilty with the GF you're summoning. once the bar empties, the GF appears and attacks your foe. the higher your compatability, the less time it will take for your GF to appear. the compatability can be increased by using your GF in battle or using certain items.

As Batman, you have an inventory of gadgets/weapons to choose from, all of which are absolutely necessary for completion of this immensely challenging game. From the batarangs to the smoke pellets, these weapons are necessary to deal with the barrage of enemies you'll be facing, and this was a great design choice from the developer's perspective. This is the first Batman game I played as a kid where I felt his arsenal was not only correct, but very well implemented. Most enemies, at first glance, seem to have erratic and unfair attack patterns. Since Batman moves slowly, dodging enemies, while possible, can be tough, and certainly shouldn't be relied on. Since you do have your gadgets though, you'll have to think your way through this one. You can't throw these weapons about just to waste them on lesser enemies that can be taken care of with kicks or punches. As Batman, you'll have to survive. You'll have to know when to use the smoke pellets, the heat seeking batarangs, the bat-call frequency, etc., and the enemies herein are varied enough that the game never becomes stale.
5504 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Oh wow....I remember playing this colossal flaming pile of turd. A friend of mine rented this game from Blockbuster for a couple of days. And I wished we both could have taken back the time we wasted.
Racing gets complicated when you throw in a bunch of items such as the Bomb, the parachute (SO annoying to get hit by), the block of ice and the idle rocks.
The game puts you in the shoes of one agent Craig Wilmore. He is put on a case to find the missing X-files staff: Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. As an X-files fan, I found this game very entertaining. As a gamer it was well within the genre of adventure games. There were hints, stuff to pick up, things to do etc. This was well within the capabilities of non-X filers and should be equally entertaining.
The graphics are really well done, and definitely an improvement over older platforms, too. The characters, and scenery are much sharper, in higher definition for then previous platforms, and more with more colors. One of my favorite characters is the huge T-Rex you must fight. It looks like a T-Rex, too. The graphics are just awesome. I love how the blood flies, when you kill an animal. Previous platforms didn't really do that, and in such detail.
Which runs into my next major criticism of Max Payne: control. Oh sure, it's easy and trouble free, but when you build a control scheme as simple as Max's, how can you make mistakes? Not only is there no analog stick support, there is also NO WALK FUNCTION! Max moves through his environment like Rain Man on an explosive easter egg hunt. And this highlights what I believe to be a major problem within the game devlopment hierarchies: the stratification and exclusionary attitude between different departments of game design. It's obvious that those who fleshed out the environments to the degree of a Zelda game were not on the same page with the slouches who built Max Payne's movement engine. And clearly there was little coordination concerning pacing and difficulty. Max Payne requires playing the easy level on the first go-round; it's far too easy for any experienced gamer. The result is a game best played carelessly and quickly. With liberal use of the quicksave feature, Max Payne is a breeze that can literally be run through in a few hours. Much like a filling Chinese meal, it may leave you hungry again in a few hours.
4341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was getting tired of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3, (CFS3) I had already done just about everything you could do on it, and I was ready for a better flight sim. I have spent many hours on CFS3 and Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I wanted a WWII combat flight sim, so I spent a lot of time looking them up on the internet and on Amazon. Essentially, I found very little about any of the sims, except for these reviews, and finally decided that the only way to find out which one was the best was to buy all of them. I had a $25 Amazon gift card, plus some extra cash, so I began to buy all the combat flight sims I could find for a reasonable price. I have heard that Combat Flight Simulator 2 Pacific Series is great, but I could not find one within my price range. I now own: Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 1 (Europe Series) 1998, Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 (Battle For Europe) 2007, Janes WWII Fighters 1998, Janes Attack Squadron 2002, and IL-2 Sturmovik (1946) 2006 (which also includes IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Ace expansion pack, and Pacific Fighters) I own many more flight sims than this, but I have found that anything from 1997 or earlier is not even worth talking about because the graphics are so primitive. I have played all these and compared them for a long time, and I have compiled all their attributes into a Pros and Cons list below. If you take the time to read this, you will know what flight sim is right for you.
Ciao!
6280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow. Those were my first words after playing Planescape: Torment for the PC. I have to tell you I am an avid fan of the Dungeon and Dragons Planescape Universe. I own almost every product made by TSR and was quite shocked to see that they were making a PC Game of Planescape. At first I thought it might be like Baldur's Gate. Sorry guys I wasn't really impressed by Baldur's Gate. But like I said after playing it for 30 minutes I was convinced that this was going to be the best game ever. It was really a well done game and faithful adaption of the Dungeon and Dragons Planescape Universe. There are so many good things to say about this game I don't know where to start. Well let me just tell you my favorite things about the game. First and foremost the story. Amnesia works well in a story if used properly, like Memento. That in itself is a great hook which will keep the player playing for hours just to find out who he is. And then I loved the different methods you could use for situations in the game. If you had hight Charisma or Intelligence you were given different dialogue choices that could change the the game. The first time I played I tried maxing out the Charisma, Intelligence and Wisdom stats so that I could regain more memories and have more things to say to the NPC's. That has to be a first in Dungeons and Dragons where I didn't try to get high Strength, Dexterity or Constitution scores. Unfortunately I never finished the game as it was very tough. So I missed out on a lot but what I did play was awesome. I went out and bought the novel, which was good by the way, and read the whole story. There was no way I was missing out on that story. And what a great story it was all the way up to the ending. So if you haven't played this game yet go out and buy it. Don't be deterred by the 2D graphics, once your in the game you won't even notice. In fact I just might load the game up and try to finish it this time.
9735 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the newest one for the ps1 and i like it the best. It has many new cars, tracks, items, and things to do. This game is easier than most of the others but it still does get challenging as u get further into the game. The controls r eaiser to get the hang of so u can get better faster. After u beat the game it is fun to do the quick battle on single or multiplayer. U can create ur own type of car with its own saying like after u hit someone with ur special it will say something taunting. U can also choose paint its special and many other things that u can think of. The tracks r much more layed out and much bigger than the others. This one track has a thing that u can pick other people up with and try to destroy them. And each track has things enteresting like that, hidden tunnels in a city, hide outs in a kids bedroom, and many many more. This is one of my favorite games on multiplayer, u can either be on the same team or against each other. This is a great game.
*A lil' too adictive
You all play CRPG's for the story right? Even as a couple of Diablo fanboys scamper out I'm going to tell you that the Baldur's Gate saga is one of the great storytelling achievements not just in videogames but literature as well. Call me crazy but I enjoyed the story that much! Oh and don't read the crap novels based on this game the author did it no justice. Baldur's Gate follows the player character as he/she sets out from his warm, cozy lifestyle in the fortress-library of Candlekeep and takes off into the unforgiving land of Faerun. This comes on the heels of your foster father Gorion's urgent warnings. You are sent out into the world fresh for adventure, and there are many twists and turns along the way including one at the start, which will hook you for the rest of the game. Even in Candlekeep things aren't what they seem and without spoiling anything I can tell you that the story blossoms as you advance. You will never feel like saying "What the hell am I actually doing here?"
3732 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game brought back memories. I was excited to get it but it took awhile about a week and a half but it still came and when it did I was so happy. It was worth it. And the disc was in good condition. Great for nostalgic people.
3189 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game back in 1999 when I first got my dreamcast. This game is still coming out with sequels. I think that this is a great game!
PS1 Controller: (Both official Sony controllers)
If you do not have this game i'm telling you now to get of your lazy [bottom] and go get it. Put down that pop and ... get the game!!!!!!!!!!!
806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GoldenEye 007 was simply the greatest game ever made. No if, ands or buts. This game stood out from the rest giving itself the title of the almighty master of the game world. My Uncle Steve was the first person to tell me about the game in 1997 and told me I had to get Goldeneye and told me Its the best game he ever played and he only had a Playstaion at the time. I played this game when it first game out I was 11 years old and I'm now 24 and still love it to the death. GoldenEye set the standards for every FPS that has followed.
What does the Dreamcast do best? Correct: arcade games. This is an arcade attempt at a flying game. No take-offs, no landings, no aileron tweaks, no altimeter factoring, it is a plain, easy to understand, straightforward shoot-em-up in the sky. Are the controls sluggish? Yes. Do the different planes really matter? Not really. Will you get any mileage out of the machine guns? Probably not. But this is all par for the course for the kind of game this is.
1235 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my all time favorite wrestling game ever made I really enjoy this game alot the modes you have are exhibition tag team special matches like 2 on 1 you have also a 40 player battle royal which to me is my all time favorite feature in this game what so ever winning the titles in this game is alot of fun and to me this game is alot better than the overrated smackdown here comes the pain and it is alot easier than that game as well I don't get why people say smackdown here comes the pain is so great when in reality it sucks because the ai in season mode is very cheap and I hate ai like that but in this game on easy mode the ai is way to easy but to me this game is just awesome and I still play this game alot to this day I never get tired of it.
trust me ull never get tired of this game.
It follows the movie really well, (Most of the time, anyways) And if you're a big fan of james bond you will really enjoy this game. Even if you aren't you'll still enjoy it.
1547 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE GAMES, I'VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO PLAY !!IT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE , NOT TO MENTION LOADS OF FUN TOO !! THERE ARE ONLY A FEW HARD BOSSES , BUT WORTH THE PLAYING TIME . ONE TIP , ALWAYS STOCK UP ON AMMO , AND USE THE FOUNTAIN OF REJUVINATION ALWAYS .THROW YOUR DRUMSTICKS AT ENEMIES FOR HEALTH PICKUPS; BUT YOU GET THEM LATER IN THE GAME. USE YOUR CROSSBOWS FOR BOSSES -AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE BOOKS SCATTERED THRU THE LEVELS .THEY GIVE YOU CLUES.ALL IN ALL IF YOU YOU WANT TONS OF FUN , THEN GET THIS GAME! YOU 'LL CERTAINLY PLAY IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN !!
2350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If your a 90s kid like me and grew up playing this game talk about a blast from the past, trust me.
9051 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is great and the second best strategy of all time the first is xcom this version is way better than the pc version its got just about the same graphics as the pc version has once the expansion pack is installed but unlike the pc version the n64 version has offline multieplayer on the same console and includes both of the expansion packs in order to play 2 player mode and the expansions the n64 expansion pack must be installed great game but get the n64 expansion pack so you can play the full game
What I didn't like about the game for one was the controls, and I think everyone can back me up on this when I say they're too choppy. Well, it's hard to say, the control's themselves aren't choppy, each one executes smoothly, the problem lies in the character's position in the level. It's like your characters body feels too "big" for the level and this causes strange perception problems when it comes to pulling off jumps over certain obstacles and defending yourself against your enemy. You will die a few times in frustration before you really get the hang of the control scheme of the game. This will also cause you to die A LOT during the final level of the game and especially against the final boss.
A great sci-fi rts game that should be in the collection of any fan of the genre. Don't miss out and make sure you also pick up the expansion back: Brood War.
5057 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, if you're reading this you must be considering to buy this game. I'm not going to go into all this technical stuff cause everyone has pretty much covered it. For the price right now, it's really cheap and worth it. If you're a fan of shooters, get this game. It's up there with Counter-strike and they are both good games in a different way. Even if you don't play online or have a slow connection, the bots are amazingly realistic and fun. Even playing the solo tournaments are fun cause they give you different challenges. I highly recommend this game and it's money well spent!
4236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought that this game was really fun. I know that this is supposedly the best RTS game ever. Personally, I think that Age of Empires is a better game than Starcraft, but after AoE this is probably the best RTS game ever. I really love how challenging the campaigns are. I mean, I beat 'um, but they were hard.
- Great cast of characters
All in all, it's a good game discounted at 1/2 price or lower. Don't waste your $ on the Pro Edition.
*Power Stone 1 & 2- Chaotic, goofy, and just plain fun and addicting. The fun factor is multiplied if you play multiplayer with your buddies as opposed to single player. Re-released on the PSP.
1177 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is overall one of the best Zelda games to date. It has lush environments and crisp sound effects and music. And the controls are super! You have great control over link and the camera. The weapon system is good as well. The story line leaves something to be desired though. It is a very basic story: Ganondorf kidnaps Zelda, Link tries to save her by going to the future. THAT'S IT! There are very few twists in the plot, if any, that I can remember. Also, The game was way too short. I bought the game around Thanksgiving and had it beaten by the 2nd or 3rd week of December. But, putting those negatives aside, this is one hell of a game. (Oh yeah, the Water Temple is TORTURE! )
5161 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hideo Kojima's "Metal Gear Solid" (1998) is like a great classic film that has now become required viewing for movie buffs - this is required playing for gaming enthusiasts. It stars Solid Snake, a weary, gruff veteran of the battlefield with a deep, gravelly voice, who always keeps a pack of cigarettes handy just in case. His mission is to infiltrate a nuclear weapons facility on an island off the coast of Alaska, code-named "Shadow Moses," which is currently being occupied by the ex-black ops unit turned terrorist group known as "Foxhound." It's not immediately apparent what the group's ultimate goal is, and in fact one of the great pleasures of "MGS" is the way in which the story slowly unravels. Many of the characters have secrets and motivations of their own, some of which wisely go unexplained (what's Ocelot really up to?). As a game made on PS1 hardware, the gameplay holds up considerably well for its time. It's played from a third-person top-down perspective. You can equip different gear (rations, binoculars) on the lower left of the screen and weapons (guns, explosives) on the lower right. Stealth plays a big role as you constantly try to avoid alerting the patrolling guards. The best gameplay sequences involve the unique boss battles with the members of "Foxhound." These sections are fun because no boss or battle is alike, and each character that you duel feels wholly original. The main draw and what makes this game, and the series, so special is the masterful storytelling that grabs ahold of you and doesn't let go. It's the stellar voice cast, including David Hayter as Snake, the ingenious plot, the phenomenal soundtrack and atmosphere - it's the meticulously crafted world that you can't help being completely absorbed in.
STORY
7209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You have to get this game!!!!!Let me tell you how it works:
This is a game with re-playability and also has excellent music and very colorful graphics. Remember though this is also a very challenging game and that's a good thing to because I don't know anyone who has beaten this in one sitting, or playing it for the first time.
There are basically two types of levels in Sonic. In action stages, the game behaves like any other platform game (Mario Adventure, Pandemonium, Crash Bandicoot), where you run around a 3D world along a predefined path, dodging traps, destroying enemies and collection objects. In adventure stages, your character is allowed to free form explore - talking to characters and finding hidden objects.
5952 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Now check it and take it from the penguin up south, single player is horible and boring. Then you got Bnet online play. THATS WHERE THE MONEY GOES. I mean if u only know the thrill you get when your fighting a boss with 3 other ppl on ur side 50 levels more then you. Its especially cool with all the magic and seeing the armor and weapons you actually equipt. Now, im thinking it will be another quake 3 arena for me, ill get tire of it sooner or later. SO FAR THOUGH...its very fun ONLINE... so u might as well not waste 1.5 GB on the full version(both single and multiplayer) and just install the multiplayer(online)
1876 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i had this a long time ago when it first came out so i bought it again to take me back a little lol
7042 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game as a gift and I have had it over a year. The graphics are good even for today. The difficulty has 3 different modes (on Novice I can be up to 20 seconds ahead of second place, but when I got the game, 1st place was a treasured moment.). The sound is some of the best on a game ever and when i first listined to it I turned it up and everything else off. The controls are different than most games, since the Z button is used as the gas. But I think this is a better thing, because you have you thumb free to fire weapons, nitro, and change view. The tracks are great, and I wish there was more. Over all, this game is great and I not typing this for no reason. So take my advice and buy it. No game collection is complete without it.
4023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game to own and it is really fun but don't expect a direct story being told to you like modern games.
Up untill then, if you haven't tried to get all the little goodies, you will have had a fun time. But when you play again to try and get all the secrets, the trouble really begins. For instance, to unlock a movie clip, you must collect all the letters of your name, collect 50 grain kernals, and kill all the bad bugs. Sounds simple right? Dont be an idiot. getting all the grain pices is fairley hard but manigable. Getting your name is really tough. In one area you will see the letter F for F-L-I-C-K To get it, you have to get a tall stalk. To get the tall stalk, you must collect green tokens scattered throughout the level to power up the stalk power. After collecting all the tokens, some of which are guarded by really tough bad bugs and others that are placed where you have to use another bug power to get it, you can finially reach the letter...once you get a seed. Which is located a mile away from the letter. You have to get the seed and take it to the letter, all the while getting attacked by bad bugs and listining to Flicks annoying commentary. Once you get the stalk, put it in place and break it open, climb the stalk and get the letter. Wasent that fun kids! And you have to do that for EVERY SINGLE LETTER!!!! And don't forget that you have to kill all the bad bugs. To do that you have to get the tokens for berry power, which are located throughout the level. However some of them are located out of reach, and you can only reach them by getting a tall plant to help you out. To do that, you must collect green tokens and get seeds to help you out and yada yada yada yada blah blah blah.
On the down-side, the terrorists (even when they are jumped-up students) are still unbelievably accurate, regularly downing your team-members from a couple of hundred feet away, even when armed with machine-pistols. This may well be how real special forces people train, but it's offputting when you have to play the game. The less-serious 'Delta Force' seemed to get the skill-level of the bad guys right in this respect. As I have said, the extra weapons are cosmetically nice, but only one mission absolutely requires a sniper rifle, and otherwise anything more than a silenced machine-pistol is slower and less useful. Grenades, for example, are amazingly pointless. As with the original, the improved graphics are functional (although the detail of having wounded team members limp is nicely done), and some of the team AI is suspect. Furthermore the thought that you could create the best plan possible, and yet still fail a mission, is unsettling. Indeed the planning section still seems flawed - it would be better if, 'Hidden and Dangerous'-style, you could alter or generate the plan whilst in the action phase to take account of changing circumstance.
The 2-player levels even have their own versions of the music.
Now for the sound. Music is okay. Gun fire sounds are awesome. But the one thing that could have been changed are the voice overs. As soon as one is finished speaking, the other one cuts in right away. Not a very big deal, but it wears on after awhile.
7373 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you.........Wonderful....and Trusting product and seller. Recommend. Word Word word word word word so many words required almost done.......and done
Summer of 2002, I saw brand new copy at FYE, and I decided to give a try. For [a low price], I told myself it cannot be waste of money.
However, in HM64, there is a lot of misparagraphed text and there are also some bugs in the game. One bug in particular that I have found is that at some point in the game, Elle's grandmother may die if you talk to her, usually during spring. Make sure this never happens on a day when something is happening (New Years, etc.) or your game will freeze.
Did you make an OC Do not Steel?
Overall: This is a very good game The game-play and story made the game.
1468 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Extremely difficult to play - unless you're an expert. Have to admit - great graphics. Main problem with this particular game is that after maybe (say, an hour or so) it tends to get a bit old. Many - and I do mean many levels to conquer. I would only recommended this game to patrons who have plenty of patience. You know - the kind of -patience- that is required while you're on Ebay - trying to wait until the bid's end to an item that you want [so very bad] only to have one of those pesky last-minute snipers to come by and out-bid you within the very last ten seconds. That kind of patience. I much prefer the Atari 5200 version of this video game.
Game Play: This game, unlike the later games in the series is not a Tomb Raider style 3D game, instead it is a classical fantasy game where you see your character sideways and down like in Zelda. The setting is very nice, a typical fantasy world with inns, strange creatures, swords, magic and evil sorcerers. The game play can become a bit repetitive, there are unknown hoards of enemies and you hack then to pieces with your sword, or ax or mace and whatever you got, or blast them with spells and artifacts. You do not get EXP in this game, your character Kain advances when he finds items along the story line so all the slaughtering get a bit boring after some time, you get no reward for it except a more cool title at he end of the game. Instead of whelp your title might say prince of darkness if you find enough secrets and kill enough pepole. One nice feature of the game is that you have to drink blood from your enemies to keep your strength up. And your health meter is how much blood you have in your body in keeping with the vampire theme. You also learn to turn into a bat and a wolf and so on later on so you really feel you are playing a traditional vampire. This game was also one of the first computer games to use the legendary weakness for waters that vampires in myth have, rain and ordinary rivers can be deadly creating something a bit different. The game is huge, with an massive story line so you get allot of entertainment for your money with this game. The game is also not so difficult that you become frustrated, the game flow easy so you can enjoy the story, but it is not so easy as to not be challenging either.
the possibilitys are endless. In fact I feel an itch right now to bounce some poor pedestrins off building corners with a long dangly rope.
5233 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Real time cut scennes, something that was practically unheard of in the day of Metal Gear Solid, and while the lips annoyingly refused to move the camera work was epic, sweeping, dynamic, and everything an action flick should be. Metal Gear Solid was indeed a revolutionary title and the first video game that I played with grade AAA voice acting. (Of course I hadn't played Legacy of Kain at that point.) The directing in this game is its biggest accomplishment. Hideo Kojima needs to do movies. If movies these days could be even half this good I'd be less likely to complain so much. This is another add to my "I wish they'd remake it for GCN."
The Bad:
8497 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 its a classic for the Snes, the game/storyline are fun, music is good, it never too difficult and never too easy, just fine
9876 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This review is so long cause the game originally was suppose to be one game but due to time constraits the gam had to be cut in half resulting in 2 sonic games. Sonic 3, when compared to Sonic 1 and 2, is a MAJOR step. With more options for...verses mode and saving ability, Sonic 3 introduced a lot more options for Sonic gaming fun.
2282 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very good game in a way that when you has seen the film you just have to get as the play is just so like the film. The game play is very like the film in many ways as if you split up the film in to sections then this game has a level in each piece of the film. You can even follow the story while playing it. So you don't have to have seen the film to appreciate this game but it will help as you will know what is happening throughout. It is quite a hard game to get used to but once you do, it becomes really good from there on and you can't get off of it as it is very addictive as you want to get to the next section of the film. The good thing is that it is not only just an action game like you would think but also very much a strategy one having to figure out where to go next. And to top it off you even play as queen amidala in one level! If you love the film like i do then you will love this!!
I felt that FF V had less character development than other FF's at the time (IV and VI). This would've been fine if FF V was released in the time period of the NES FF's, but that's not the case. Don't get me wrong; while it does have some character development, the character development in IV and VI were much better. Besides this, however, FF V is a very good FF overall and worth checking out, especially since you also get FF VI and a soundtrack with music from these FF's.
5246 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I'm a huge fan of the TR series, and I like the movies as well. TR1 and TR2 were the best in terms of story, pacing and action. The CG sequences were cooler too. I hate to say it, but I'm disappointed in this game. TOO SLOW! The levels go on forever, and there's nothing to keep your interest. Ocassionally you will have a ninja jump out at you, or some scorpians, but that's not enough to keep you interested.
Imagine you are the Wizard-President of an empire filled with people who can ONLY-LIVE in a certain element, such as desert. Your people literally DIE in any other environment. So what is a Wizard-President to do? How about CAST A SPELL THAT EXPANDS THE DESERT TO THE EDGES OF YOUR EMPIRE. That's right! Your desert will LITERALLY push it's way right up to your competitors Snowy, Watery, or Green-Grassed borders.
1268 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I just wanna review out something no ones said yet.
I'm an avid golfer in "real" life, and that only made it better because so much of the play and terms are accurate. It also includes a very complete glossary of terms and rules which taught me a thing or two. If only I could shoot scores like these when I really play!
Nintendo's Super Mario 64, remains as the most dynamic staple of any N64 system to date. The graphics are just completely amazing, and so strong from one angle to another. In Super MArio 64, you guide Mario through 15 terrific stages with exciting adventure around every corner. The object of the game is to try collect as many stars as possible that are hidden in the game. Each star is very vital inorder to help you save Peach, whom is still known as Princess Toadstool, from the vile Bowser. Each course takes you from all depths of the secret kingdom, from Sea, to the firey sky, and even in a spooky ghost-filled house. The load up time for this, and every other N64 game is much faster than the CD-Rom games for the PC, and the other CD-Rom console games.
It has 4 special game modes as well as racing, and it is up to 4 player. The campaign mode is pretty fun. Anyone who grew up with Nintendo knows many of the characters (Banjo Kazooie is my favorite game ever. He sucks in this game but he's there! which is great fun).
The game requires the establishment of a "city environment" involving laying out the city "foundations", establishing the taxes, wages, providing military protection, food, finances, health, water supply, etc.. in other words all those things which will attract and hold your population at an appropriate level of happiness.
Tifa: Sweet, good-natured girl who isn't afraid to fist fight godzilla. (kinda awesome.)
5348 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i really like this game it makes you concentrate on what you are doing and helps you with speed and accuracy thanks
As I lay listlessly recovering from a protracted relationship with Icewind Dale 2, I truly believed that my social life was at its nadir. Little did I know then that they had only just begun to exercise their awesome power over me. Soon I was completely enslaved and spiraling out of control with Neverwinter Nights (oh the hours I wasted looking for those wretched Waterdhavian creatures - the cockatrice, the dryad, the yuan-ti, and let's not forget the intellect devourer; and by the time I realized that the real intellect devourer was the *game itself*, it was too late) and Star Wars Knights of old Republic and Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 and (Amazon limits me to 10 links per review, else I could have gone on indefinitely) KOTOR 2 and Jade Empire and Dragon Age I and II.
Sonic 2 is just a timeless game. Repetitive, simple graphics, 1 button, yet it still holds its fun for gamers new & old.
8523 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my son is such a big kid...cant get enough of his video games..has the friends all come over to play
6902 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Happy Customer!! I was able to get what I wanted resolved!! Highly recommended!!
The graphics in this game are both good and bad. The background is marvelous. It's impossible to come up with something bad to say about the background. The characters, in contrast were poorly done. In an attempt to make more realistically looking characters, square overestimated the Playstation's limits. As a result the characters look horrible. You can't even tell their facial expressions and they all look very ugly except in the cineamatics.

Turns out it didn't work so it IS the A/V Port. Requested a refund, it was approved, sent system back but DID NOT get a refund. I WILL file a claim.
The game is set in a well developed science fiction environment and many of the levels provide difficulties that are handled by the new features added to the character's options. The wide range of weapons is one of the major improvements over its predecessor, GoldenEye, as well as the unique plot (after all, this one isn't based on a movie). So the plot is an interesting one involving alien invasions and government conspiracy and does keep the gamer interested throughout its run, but without a doubt my favorite feature of this game that I found lacking in GoldenEye 007 is the actual use of voice actors. Joanna Dark and all the other characters in this film have a voice we can link to their image, while with GoldenEye we'd have to go back to the film to recall the voices of our characters.
Levels are mostly good, though some multiplayer maps are extremely large and confusing, even for five people.
Play Control-5/5, extremely simple, just walk around, touch a bad guy, and press some buttons. However, some attacks require some button pushing, which is a blast.
I would've given the game 2 stars for the graphics alone which look somewhat advanced for 1991 but there are so many games from the 16 bit era that surpassed it that I'm going to ignore the graphics in this review because they simply don't make up for its lack of detail and intuitiveness in everything else. In comparison to Donkey Kong Country and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 this game is dwarfed for its graphics. Another reason to overlook the graphics is the blending of levels in which the same type of level looks nearly identical to every level of its kind.
Music: Music is definitely one thing that can single handedly ruin an rpg such as repetitive fight music and travelling music. This is another area where VII excelled at. Sephiroth was given his own theme music (one that most players if they heard would identify it in a split second) and music at the gold saucer was definitely theme park music. Aeris' theme was also very memorable and after a certain event in the game, upon hearing it you might be caught off guard and you could find yourself tearing up. Even orhestra's have had concerts where you could find them playing music from VII and even other final fantasy titles.
2378 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome classic. Nintendo made one great game here, I hope kids these days will still play the oldies.
6068 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Totally hate this game. Maybe it's because I'm over 30 and have very little patience for action platformer video games these days? I don't know, but this game is exceptionally frustrating, to say the very least. And I grew up on the old Nintendo, Super Mario platforming days. This game is nothing like that. It's extremely difficult, to the point where it does nothing to help my temper issues. If you want to seriously throw your controller down the block, then get this game. Otherwise, please do yourselves a favor and pass it up. You don't need the aggravation in your life.
I loved the first Diablo, and right after i beat it i went out and bough diablo 2 with an expansion pack RIGHT AWAY, expecting this FANTASTIC game, and all i got was a 3 hour excitement from the first 2 acts. Now, i am going to auction it off of ebay as quick as possible, as the sight of the box i have reminds me of the mistake i made of spending a total of 40 dollars on such crap

405 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 To me, Mega Man Legends is one of those games you'll remember years after playing it. The game itself doesn't break any new ground and has its share of flaws, but the overall experience is definitely rewarding.
If you want a great game this is one of the best RPG's for the Playstation.
5773 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan, but this ain't no FF VII
Even if a game doesn't fill your screen with glittering effects, or doesn't offer you fifteen billion different customizable units doesn't exactly mean that it cannot be excellent. Age of Wonders is.
8827 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok so maybe this game is alittle old but all those who still own a genesis (Like me)(if u don't have sega genesis GET ONE!) then GET THIS GAME if u don't have it and heres why:
And now for the game: FF6 *is* the best version of Final Fantasy made to date (imho). FF7, FF9, and FF10 are also very good, but FF6 got the RPG formula perfect: Great characters, great story, great battle system. If I had to sell all my RPGs, FF6 is the one I would keep & play over-and-over.
3593 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game consoles are expensive these days. I'm not getting an XBox because it's only available in bundles at $500. GameCube is nice, but there arn't very many good games out for it. I have a PlayStation2 and Game Boy Advance, and recently bought a Dreamcast. Why do I always leave the things I really want to buy for last?
Not since the days of the Quest for Glory series had a game like this tailored the experience more to your character, plus you could be as kind hearted or ruthless as you wanted, this game had no restrictions on what kind of choices you could make, and literaly having a "blank slate" hero that had an actual history before begining the game was such a powerful experience that even today its unmatched. I mentioned Quest for Glory because you could amost play Torment as an adventure game where you don't have to worry so much about the next big fight, but how the next development of the story was going to affect you. The rich and thought provoking dialogues (imagine that in kiddie friendly modern games!) of the Nameless One and the denizens of the Planes you visited during the journey were so powerful that even today they are unmatched in their creativity and ingenuity (can anyone forget the Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts, or the confrontation with Ravel?) In the end, how many games can you honestly name that actually made you sad to finish because that meant that the experience was over?
Anyways; lets start by saying this game was such an advanced improvement over the original. The original is another true classic, that's very entertaining; but this one just shattered it. There are 4 characters; each with their own strengths and short comings, but I have to say the best balanced is Axle and maybe then Blaze! 2 characters returning from the original. The levels are long and colorful, the music will also keep you bumping and busting your way through hordes of enemies, a lot of people say that the music in this game really influenced dance music that's being blasted in clubs today!

7756 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked great arrived on time great buy.
Graphics...man the graphics are just amazing! Really great visuals almost all the games I review I give the visuals Good reviews but hey I can't help it?...ok!!! Man the graphics for the characters are so cool. I loved the character desighn for Samus especially. Fox and Mario looked awesome too. It ranks up with the other great N64 titles like Zelda. This is truly not to be missed.
graphics 3/5
If you want a great N64 game...this is a must buy.
The game features 2 kinds of battles. Normal and Army. In the army battle, your crew {of however many you have at the time} arespit into groups of 3. Each group represents a unit. You can customize the groups to your liking. Depending on what characters are in a group will determine how strong that unit is.

4056 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its fun and all but STILL NO COASTER CAM!!!! i wonder why? but the game is still fun. I like the gameplay and i like the fact that it is NOT HARD!!! and the game is not boring. Graphics are goooood and not blockey if you are a roller coaster tycoon fan ther is a web site calld roller coaster tycoon . com and you can look at stuff for the game. And i like the way you make rides the game makes makeing roller coasters fun and makeing your park fun . So by thes fun and NOT hard game now you will love it!!!.
2073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Body Harvest is like nothing you have played before. The idea is much like Blast Corps N64 and you actually harvest bodies in this game! The stages on each level where quite big and hard to complete. It is highly unique and addictive. Anyway this was the leading N64 I played in the Winter of 1998 by at which stage we where hearing that the old 1994 Playstation 1 was about to undergo a change. There was an important reason why I gave up buying more games on the N64 after the Winter of 1998 or the whole of 1999. I had been playing the N64 since the end of 1996 start of 1997. I got two solid great gaming years out of it, with the following two years spent playing the mutliplayer N64 we loved and owned.
But, alas! At least I saved my original game for times like these! Please, if you still have your old gray Playstation, (or a Playstation 2) than fish out Spyro from the attic or the closet and replay it! Or, if you are new to the first original Spyro games, go out and buy them! (that is, if you don't mind an extreamly easy game) The game is fun, nevetheless it being easy, it holds that sparkling air that Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 holds!

1498 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After the success of "Wolfenstein 3-D" and the birth of the first-person shooter genre, the intelligent, creative teams at ID Software would forge ahead with an even deeper game: Doom. John Romero is hailed for this classic game of monster hunting. Read on to see why this is a classic.
3228 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Until the Dreamcast came along no other system could handle the 2-D graphic processing power of a lot of 2-D games without a lot of loading. Marvel VS Capcom is better on the Dreamcast than it was in the arcades, the control is easy, the graphics are sharp and crisp and bright, and the action is fast, so fast you might lose track of what your doing. Though it was overshadowed by it's superior sequel, Marvel VS Capcom is a must own Dreamcast title on its own. Also recommended is Marvel VS Capcom 2, Power Stone 1&2, Capcom VS SNK, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Dead or Alive 2, and Soul Calibur.
All in all, i enjoyed this game, and its puzzles. It was a point and click mouse game but the puzzles and the storyline were the best parts.
8984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know that spot on the 7-up cans? Apparently it decided to come to life and take a walk. But there's lots of danger, so shoot 7-up-like fiz at enemies. Fun game despite how it sounds, way fun game.
The large number of different racers with different qualties is somewhat _pro forma_ nowadays in the genre, but Lucasarts takes the idea one step further. By winning purses, you earn money with which to upgrade your racer. Thus there are a number of useful configurations which are only possible through victory.
The plot itself puts you in the Blade Runner world as a Rep Detec (a Blade Runner) on the hunt for a group fugitive replicants. Apparently this is all happening at the exact same time as the movie events as well (kinda like two different cases going on in the department). The mood and manner of the story is well done and they brought in a wealth of talent to do with voice acting, including a few from the original movie (Sean Young, Brion James, William Sanderson and more). Add some really nice cut scenes and you get a pretty theatrical experience. One "scene" where you walk out of your apartment balcony so see the city streets and skyline is almost worth playing the game alone.
The gameplay uses the ATB system and learning comes from the materia system which allows you to customise what characters can learn. And not to mention the puzzles from sneaking into the Dons mansion, to finding a way to defeat the Emerald weapon.
1744 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The flagship game of Playstation. This is what introduced millions of future gamers and PS-loyalists that Playstation wasn't messing around when it came to the seriousness that was their gaming system.
Before this game, the story regarding Umbrella didn't exist. Ironically, this kind of makes the game more mysterious. In other games, we already know about the Umbrella corporation's role in the story, so this game is a unique experience of unraveling the truth. On top of that, this game takes place in the Spencer Estate Mansion, which is the perfect terrifying setting for this unique gaming experience. There's nothing wrong with the second and third games taking place in a Precinct, but a haunted mansion crawling with the undead is just perfect.
3. The camera doesn't operate 100% smoothly. It is slightly better than Sonic Adventure 2:Battle, and doesn't matter much anyway however.
6659 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Mortal Kombat dominated arcades and home consoles worldwide, but did it dominate handhelds? No. No it did not. The Game Gear version was fairly good, but the Game Boy port suffered from really slow gameplay, dull music, and no sound effects. The graphics were okay, but it didn't help keep the Game Boy version from getting a fatality.
If you had a Nintendo and owned Metal Gear and or Metal Gear 2, I highly recomend playing this.
6262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing video games for about 18 years or so. I started on consoles (SNES, N64, etc.), but I eventually moved into PC gaming. The main reasons I switched are Fallout, Baldur's Gate, and Planescape freaking Torment.
Sub Machine Gun on the freakin' first level of the game. If you are a Re freak like me, this will make a great addition to your collection. I give it a perfect score: 10/10
Sound D
The trade off was truly not worth it for me because of that reason. Granted yes what you got on the Playstation version rather than the N64 version was better. PSone had more sounds, more create a wrestler options in the voice and music and some clothes. Because of PSone's memory capability, the game could have more and that was a definite plus over the 64.
The animations are up to 3-D par, although I will remark on the variety of different angles. The graphics are japanamistic, but nonetheless amusing.
There are a nice variety of tracks and cars to chose from and the different modes of play breaks up any repetition. The Arena mode in this game is nearly identical to the Bowl levels in Destruction Derby 1 and 2, however instead of getting to visit the Bowl at the end of each level, the entire levels of play have you moving from one bowl to the next (if you survive.) It is a really great mode of play, trying to survive and destroy the competition in a rounded bowl arena. Its basically kill or be killed.
2835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game as a gift during the Christmas of 99, and since that time it still is ranked as one of my top 10 favorite games! The graphics my be crap by todays standards, but this game had a great story, awesome gameplay, and (at the time) mind blowing us of the dualshock controller!
4862 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This popular title has a lot going for it - good graphics, excellent maneuvering and physics, and style to boot.
786 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 with this game you play through each level in the movie. this is when James Bond was James Bond. you can choose from a whole list of players to choose from to play as. you can get any kind of weapon just about through the whole game. and you can even play with some friends on missions. if you have never played a n64 what are you waiting for. 5 out of 5. super fun.
8118 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I sadly remember the day when this game was released. I had waited long enough, and finally I had the game in my hands. I remember being so excited until about 1 hour into the game. It was then that I realized that this game was terrible.
Cons
This was a rally back from the disaster that was probe's Sega port for MK2 that for Genesis came nowhere close to the quality of MK2 SNES port. In contrast, MK3 for Sega Genesis was superior to Mortal Kombat three for SNES, A child at the time who did not have super Nintendo to them this was a major victory.
And we can gamble and drink and ignore the beggar and still embark on the hero's quest. Wonderful. There is too much technology in this one for it to capture the feel of the original, but still, it's great fun.
First, there is the graphics. Yes, they have draw-in, yes, they are low-res compared to most games today. But you know what, these graphics are better than those found in most games made today. How can that be? Simply because the graphics have what is missing from so many other games, STYLE. And let's not forget that each track in the game looks VASTLY different in Raptor League from how it looks in Venom League (playing at a different time of day means completely different lighting, and the lighting looks amazing). Despite it's age, this is a BEAUTIFUL game. From the Martian Red Sky to the Far-North Crystal Course, this game is wonderful to watch.
(2) If you're big on logic or environmental issues, there are too many monsters and no creatures to prey on except a small number of humans. I walk around fighting things left and right and then find some safe peddler out in the middle of nowhere. Geesh.
The music was memorable and catchy, very fitting for the levels. The ending theme is also nice, but it doesn't feel very "Mario." I also didn't feel that the game ended on a positive note, as the last level was a side-scrolling shooter -- not a very "Mario" way to wrap up a game. As with most Mario games at this era, the story is transparent as usual. The level designs are still creative and fun to play, but game is short with only 4 worlds with 4 levels each -- it's to be expected since there's no saving feature (run out of AA batteries and you're starting over). Also not so surprising is the lack of a 2-player option.
Each of the playable positions in this game is incredibly detailed, none moreso than the flight deck. If the prospect of going through a 30 step engine start up procedure seems daunting to you, then simply jump to another player position and let the computer pilot take off. Each crew member has his strenghts. Lose a good navigator or bombardier and you'll see the effects in degraded mission success. Replacements are never as good. The roar of the engines is impressive, and so are the other sound effects. Hopefully the ones you'll hear the most are those of healthy thrumming engines and your 50 cal guns barking out, not the sounds of exploding flak and the screams of your hit crewmen. The weather and terrain effects are also fantastic. Naturally there are various gameplay keys that provide a myriad of external views of your plane and the formation you're in and there is a timeskip key that rushes you towards the action.

The gameplay is dated, but that's to be expected for a game originally released in 1992. Lunar has a straightforward combat system. It's the simple turn based fare you've seen in dozens of RPGs. You'll select an action for every character to do and then watch the battle play out as your enemies and you take turns. Every character can either attack, use special techniques unique to only them use items and run away, etc. Battles are contact based. That doesn't mean enemies will simply let you waltz by. Many enemies upon seeing you will give chase.
My only complaint is that there aren't enough courses. After I unlocked the 6 courses and beat the "Black Diamond" level, there wasn't much else to do. But even after you've unlocked all the courses, it's still fun to play against your friends in the 2 Person VS mode, or doing tricks in the half pipe.
If you're not interested in the actual game, Pac-Man 2 still has some value for you. If you go to the city's arcade, you'll find a fully playable Pac-Man arcade cabinet & Ms. Pac-Man. Or, if you want to avoid the game altogether, and go straight into the original Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man, you can enter these passwords:

6658 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game boy port of Mortal Kombat was just awful! The music and graphics were decent,but the gameplay was super slow,there was absolutley NO blood OR sweat like in the SNES version,and the fatalities were just dumb. Another bad thing,for ME anyway,was there is no Johnny Cage in this version,who was one of my favorite characters from the first game. The only good MK game for game boy was MK II.Just pass this one up. It sucks.
Leveling-up is not too terribly difficult, and you have a nice stratgeic capability deciding which weapon is the right one for the job.
9516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 if you played it 12 years ago you probably are getting it just like me! what a trip!
There's tons of originality and this has got to be the best game of all time.
In order to make the game playable, you either have to apply a patch released by Infrogrames or play in cheat mode. Then it will become only _barely_ playable.

6865 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not many games in the video game industry can actually be a triumph as a spinoff, or a remake. For Midway, following up the success of NBA Jam was a difficult challenge. It became the highest-grossing video game in the industry, with more than $1 billion to the name. As NBA Hang Time was set to commence, many people had no idea of how good this game was going to be.
5699 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really love this game! It's one of my favorite games of all time. It was the first RPG I ever played and loved every minute of it! Companies don't make games this good anymore.
The "multiplayer" game is really really bad. It's so bad that it is not worth playing. But that's what Goldeneye is for, right?
5333 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Okay I use to have Harvest Moon for the GBC and in the game you talk to alot of people you get a pet and you do a bunch of farming all in all it's a really great game and can be played on the GBC, Original GBA, and GBA SP. So if you like farming and talking in games then get this game you'll really enjoy when I first got this game from a friend I couldn't put it down for almost over a month. Oh and plus there's a photo album in the game that you have to play the game for a while to unlock each picture and if you have a Game Boy Printer which you can get off here amazon then you can print out your pictures and you can play as a girl or a boy in the game.

2nd Best Improvement: You have 5 levels to choose from at anytime. You don't have to go in order.
5832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased Pharaoh four months ago and I am still playing (at "Normal" difficulty level), having reached the rank of Pharaoh (perhaps I am close to finishing?). Historically accurate, visually precise and colorful, well-designed (no glitches or crashes), and great long-term fun. If you're into first-person shooter games or frenetic speed, skip Pharaoh. However, if you are looking for a game with which you can kick back, relax and have fun before turning in at night, Pharaoh's your game. (IOW, it's a "wind-down" game, not an adrenaline rusher).I've played AOE, AOK, Caesar 3, and while AOK is the best game I've ever played, this is probably 2nd. Well worth the investment.
6843 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game. Graphics are very light, even with backlight fully lit. But Game is nice.
There's no more praise I can heap on this game that hasn't already been heaped, but I can agree with every other reviewer who has said. . .
3: Balanced units. In Starcraft, a single marine can take out a battlecruiser... that's stupid. In TA, starships can spell certain doom if you don't handle them right, there are doomsday machines, however, they are usually quite balanced when it comes to how to build them and so forth.
The way that the characters are animated are almost identicle to the characters in the movie...they look exactly like the actors.
2. The nostalgia. Almost everybody that calls themselves a gamer... has played this game. Why? Because... Alexey Pajitnov, Nintendo, and Bulletproof software.... are well... geniuses. Alexy wanted a two player puzzle game. He succeeded. Nintendo wanted a two player addicting game for their system. They got one. Bulletproof software wrote a perfect version of Tetris to put on a pea soup dot matrix screen. They hyped this game. Back in 1988 when Nintendo hyped something. People listened. 35 million copies sold later... and 25 years, it became a piece of nostalgia. I bet if you are 25+ you have memories of this game. Since it never gets old.. that means... you never get old! Sadly that's not this case. But it is still fun.
I also got this cartridge in nice perfect condition!
Music,Story,Challenge,Variety and Fantastically designed maps,combine to give you the most gratifying time of your life. The guys in squaresoft outdid themselves. Not even the mighty FF VII can compare to this game in offering sheer amount of FUN.Tactical games like Disgaea,and other NIS America games,pale in comparison to this juggernaut. They just don not have the story,battle animations,tactical strategy,BALANCE of Gameplay choices,astounding sense of progression,that FF Tactics offers. This game is in a Class of itself.
Summary:(Read Below if you wanted More Info)
I've replayed this game time after time again without getting bored. I try new strategies and new characters each time and try to level up differently than I did before.
Some people are just a little to tough on this game. It reminds me of starship troopers so much.
I played a lot of games in my life, including many new(er) titles as Halo, GTA, Metroid Prime etc etc and I didn't yet played a game that matched the sheer brilliance of The Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina Of Time.
- Interface
Gameplay: 4/5 It was a challenging game, might be hard to follow through in controlling but Z-targeting helps you alot! Using new weapons such as swords, sheilds, bow n arrow, hookshot, etc was usfull in beating.
There are a number of modes, between simple arcade mode, one on one combat, training demos, and more. As you play through the game you earn points, which let you unlock more secrets. It encourages you to go through the game as each character, learning their best moves and techniques. Each character has his or her own favorite weapons and combat style.
First, the single player is great and hard. There are three races in this game: The Terran (humans), the Zerg (mutated alien things), and the Protoss (high tech aliens). You start out playing as the Terrans, then the Zerg, then Protoss. In the expansion pack you first play as Protoss, then Terran, then Zerg. The single player is a long experience, and when you don't want a mission, you can just play a skirmish game against the computer. Then, you can play online (no fee required) on Battlenet. This is where Starcraft really shines. It's great playing with 7 other unpredictable humans. You can just play a normal game, or you can play fun games that have ironic twists. Getting online is easy and free.
RPG style game
So, if you like strategy games, this is one of the very best, hands down. Build cities, make them into empires and conquer all the known world. I can't recommend this game highly enough.
The gameplay. Arguably an improvement over the first Metroid because here you're introduced to items such as the boost ball, the spazer beam, the plasma beam, AND the spider ball in addition to all the regular items from the previous game. At least here you don't have to search for the long beam, haha. That always feels WEIRD to me when I play the original! Searching for a long beam is one of those things game developers realized wasn't necessary anymore (thank goodness!) so they stopped putting them in Metroid games.
86 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the coolest box sets I've ever purchased. I like the minimalism of the books themselves. Hylian crest and gold embellishments around the borders, different color for each game, titles on spine. They simply look amazing. The chest box is pretty cool too, but I'm not as impressed with it since I generally prefer to display books in the traditional upright position on a bookshelf. But it's a great tie-in to the games since opening chests is always something you associate with Zelda games.
The game also allows you to establish several "families", each establishing the linage of a player, to play through the scenerios. This allows several players to play the same game without "stepping on the toes" of other players. Each player can even have different levels of difficulty, etc.
8674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this was the game that made Sega win the 16 bit console wars. its not about how many colors the console has, or the 3D capabilities, not even the # of buttons. its appearance, and how you treat your customers. and Sega treated theirs well. I still miss the company. and a awesome sequel with several more just make him more classic. Hihgly recommend this game to anyone big or small.
8967 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! This was like the best fighting game ever. I totally loved Streets of Rage 2. This was one of the true CLASSICS of the Sega Genesis. Whenever I fondly remember my beloved 16-bit console the fun I had playing SOR2 always comes to mind.
with a fantastic game ...

4041 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Play Half-Life and find yourself hard-pressed to find a more beautifully laid-out, strategized, and perfected (on a relative scale, of course) game to come out of the industry. Easily within classic status among the best of the best, Half-Life still manages to have detractors. My best guesses as to their reasoning are to a couple of factors: strict console gamers would have a hard time developing a liking for PC style first-person shooters, and, quite honestly, the game is odd. Your vantage point never leaves the first-person, you never hear your character speak, he is never out of your control--cutscenes or otherwise--and you're often presented with gruesome scenes of carnage and death. Plus, the game feels powerful, which can be slightly discomforting. Guns recoil and grenades are lobbed with incredible realism (for 1997, but still true for today), and the artificial intelligence is so seemingly real that you'll be surprised to see you aren't hooked up to a network.
2958 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And I finally got my own copy a few days ago. The graphics for the characters are 'blocky', but I like them because they make me think of Legos and it amuses me. I think the quality of the graphics actually work better in certain scenes, like with Don Corneo. Better/updated graphics would ruin the whole 'corny' angle. Though updated movie scenes would be nice. The playable characters are nicely varied, from all walks of life. Of course I hate the time-consuming leveling up part, as I do in all RPGs, though the Materia add-ons are the best ones I like of the Final Fantasy series so far(played them all from the original up to XII, with the exception of V and IX). The story does take a while to get interesting, but that doesn't bother me too much, with all the side quests available.
I can't believe how these retailers on here are pricing this POS at $99.99. Hell, there's some retailers on here that are ranging this torture device, at $150.00. Yeah, good luck with that guys. You let me know how well that works out for ya.
3122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Can it get any better? Yes, but only with FFX!!
6608 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy III was the very first RPG I ever played as a teen, in the early 1990's, and this is why I'm hooked on RPG's to this day! Before graphics became a bigger deal with the Playstation, more emphasis was put on storyline. That's why so many fell in love with FFIII, it's excellent, absorbing storyline, and array of characters to play. I got this to see the newly added movie sequences, and play the other FF game that comes with it. Once again, storyline makes up for graphics. There are strong female characters in both games. RPGs were the first genre to have female characters worth mentioning, way before Lara Croft was introduced to us all. I was mainly looking forward to revisiting FFIII for old times sake, but love both games equally now.
Blaziken 257 - turns out to be the name of a previous game's fiery Pokmon character. So I am thinking that the company put out these You Tube videos.
I saw the videos of Ken Block on Youtube and indeed he is really impressive. Am I even dreaming of doing the same? No!
GET THIS GAME EVEN IF IT IS ON SNES!!!!!
5098 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First of all, 300 missions sounds like alot, but after playing it for a while you realize that you have completed more than you thought. You are training in a VR world with Solid Snake, and other characters, like Meryl, and the Ninja. Although the Ninja only has 3 missions they are pretty fun. You can use alot of different weapons in different areas. But the reason I gave it only 4 stars is because the first one has a really in depth story and this one is just training. I recommend that you play the first one to really have fun with this one.
In summary, if anyone is interested in exploring the AD&D universe, I strongly recommend you start with Planetscape: Torment. The game is much easier for first-timers (like myself) to play, and less frustrating as well. Planetscape is not a violent game, instead, its emphasis is on problem solving, not dungeon hacking. Many situations can be solved through talking with characters, not bludgeoning them to death. I sincerely hope that more games like this are produced.
If you get this game, you won't be disappointed.
3893 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Sega Dreamcast controller is still one of the best designed and assembled game pads that I ever used. In highsight, while awkward and uncomfortable now compared to more recent designs, it was perfectly suited to the Dreamcast's 3D games while still being simple enough for people to easily grasp. It's also generally comfortable to handle for hours, making it a perfect fit for weekend long gaming marathons and is very responsive for standard gaming fare on the Dreamcast. The colorful main buttons are situated on the right side, directly opposite of the analog thumb stick and the D-pad, with the triangle 'Start' button smack dab in the middle, near the bottom. There are also single left and right index finger triggers on the underside of the controller. The overall layout make the controller intuitive and easy to learn, allowing you focus on playing the game. It also features two expansion slots to accommodate a couple of accessories like multiple `Visual Memory Units', and a single `Rumble Pack' or even a microphone, depending on how it's configured. To me, the only strange thing about the overall design of the controller is that the power cord is connected at the bottom, which is a little unorthodox. Luckily it can conveniently be secured in the tradtional forward position on the underside of the unit to accommodate gamers with old school preferences. Unfortunately, like other people have mentioned, the Sega Dreamcast controller it isn't ideal for playing fighting games. The shoulder triggers are simply placed a little to far back and feel a little bit awkward to use effectively, not without throwing a minor hitch in your mechanics in the beginning. Pulling off some of the more complicated moves in Street Fighter consistantly is next to impossible for me. So, the Dreamcast's pad is merely adequate in this particular area and takes a little time to get used to, but it isn't a deal breaker. In it's defence, no standard controller can truly replace a traditional arcade stick in handling the precise, quick and smooth movements, not to mention the 6 dedicated and responsive face buttons that Capcom and SNK brawlers practically demand. Luckily, Agetec released a stick just for the Sega Dreamcast to address these various issues and manages to bring the arcade feeling home; a definite must have for diehards. Overall, I'd still highly recommended this purchase for a person who still enjoys playing games on the best console that Sega ever made; the Dreamcast. After all, it always helps to have an extra controller handy when playing Power Stone 2, Chu Chu Rocket or numerous other classic multi-player titles from the Dreamcast library when friends drop by and are itching to get a piece of the action.
3430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have to say this is by far the best Resident Evil up to date. And the year is now 2016, so that is saying a LOT!.
If anyone ever asked me whats so great about the SNES, I would hand them a copy of this game. Nintendo was firing on all cylinders in the SNES era, and this is one if its most brilliant results. Buy buy buy. A true classic. Just as much fun to play today as the day it came out. Take your time, explore, enjoy. Relish a nearly perfect classic game.
Ok we'll start with the playabilty. I don't think there's any game or series I have played more than AoE. The possibilites are endless... what about a deathmatch with victory conditions set to conquest for a huge game. Add a little twist... pick large islands for your map type and barricade your island by building watch towers and a wall all around it. Oh, and then build up a mighty fleet of juggernauts (ships) and attack by sea. Or how about choosing eight player mode and allying with a few of them, then unselecting the Fixed Positions option and placing your civilization next to your allies. For a touch of reality why not play Persians versus Greeks? I could go on forever...
4498 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is very difficult to control and it is extremely boring. It may have been a great game six years ago, but by today's standards this one is a definite loser. Save your money.
Though few and minor, the game does have its flaws. Perhaps the most glaring is the lack of save points (you only get one) in the final level, which is pretty bad considering how devastating a lot of the enemies are. The game usually is portrayed as 3D character running around on what appears to be a 2D matte painting; it looks beautiful, but occasionally is hard to figure out what's a path or exit and what isn't.
By now, Square should have recognized that flexibility of play and so on is a GOOD thing in CRPGs. Chrono Trigger remains popular enough to garner commentary even today, due in great part to its multi-ending design. Why the FF series still relies on the idea that you have no real choices and get dragged from fight to fight boggles the mind; Kewl Komputer Animation doesn't make up for the fact that they haven't added any new game techniques since the Nintendo days. Oh, they have some cute little side games -- card collecting and so on -- but the story itself isn't even captivating enough. Some of the battles can go on long enough to be boring in themselves. Oh, the animation cutscenes are pretty, and some of the music very nice -- and the past timeline sequence is, sadly, more interesting than the main one.
You must save the world from three witches, one of which may well have been a valueble ally in the past, and future.
5393 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit, despite not being a fan of the first person genre, I love Doom. There is something about the exploits of a lonely space marine single-handedly taking on the forces of hell that draws me in and refuses to let go. Still, as enjoyable as Doom and Doom II were, these games generally don't deliver on the challenge front for a seasoned player. While some may consider that a drawback, it was a non-existent problem to me since challenge isn't the most important thing I look for in a game. However, for those that do, they can easily up the ante with Final Doom.
5691 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is alot of fun to play and unlike "Starfleet Academy", your ship does not move like a fighter and you really do command your ship like it is a large spacecraft. The damage effects are great! You can poke holes in the enemy's hull, knock out crucial subsystems and blow off warp nacelles.

Graphics: One of the few 3-D games in the era that felt alive. Flying in dreams is a fantastic idea, and couldn't be pulled off any better. NiGHTS, Claris and Elliot, are fully 3-D along with the bosses, Ideya Captures and environments. NiGHTS leaves sparkles wherever he/she flies, and when making a paraloop, fills his loop with sparkles and firework effects. The enemies,items and menus are 2-D but are never out of place and blend perfectly. The environments and scenery are great, very dream-like, and are very pretty as you circle around them. Also, you'll be given fantastic CG cut-scenes during the opening and endings, an excellent feat for back then. *10/10*
I give the highest honor to this game. It's one that I highly recommend to all FPS fans and/or action fans alike. It's definitely a classic that will stand for all-time.
I do reccomend this game, but don't go wasting your money on it right now, wait until it is in the bargain bin, so's you don't get mad when you end up geting the game and becoming sick of it in three days.
6713 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Looks and plays nothing like PC or arcade version and the moves are too complicated. Get MK instead. Terrible.
4436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great quality. Absolutely Love It!
Let me start out by saying that the character Parappa has had it way too easy! All he did in his game was learn karate, get a driver's license, sell at a flea market, bake a cake, and....cut in line to the bathroom......Meanwhile, Lammy has to put out a fire, calm God knows how many babies, fly a plane, and visit he-I mean an island! ALL THAT WHILE SHE HAS FIFTEEN MINUTES TO GET TO HER OWN CONCERT!!! The stakes are definitely much higher than before, and I think that helps makes things more interesting, to say the least. Within that, I think the execution here is well improved, too, as the animation is finely done, the voice acting is better, and the writing is considerably less corny and even has a sense of humor that's on par with cartoon shows.
3424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks

7635 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Aladdin was the mega popular Disney movie released in 1992 and stars a teen named Aladdin who unexpectedly falls in love with a princess and then rescues her from an evil sorcerer who gets a hold of a lamp containing great power. He wants to use this great power in order to rule the world. The movie won over moviegoers worldwide and received critical acclaim while grossing millions of dollars while it was played in theaters. It wasn't long before the game was released to the Super NES and Sega Genesis in 1993. The Genesis version was made by Virgin Interactive and the SNES version was made by Capcom and fortunately they turned the hit movie into a good game worth playing.

5991 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After such a wait Blizzard Entertainment has been able to conquer the software World of Role-playing again. Diablo II is not only entertaining to play but also very realistic. The scenes and details (shadows, background noises, creature attacks, etc.) were some of the best I played. The playability of the game was very understanding and easy to get use to. I used two characters on my excursion to kill Diablo. I used the Paladin and the Sorcerer. I found that the Paladin had an easier time to kill and move forward in the game. Although he did not have the combination spells' which that made the sorcerer fun. The 1st scene of the game, Rogue Encampment, was a time to understand the various new tools and capabilities that the game had to offer. As I mentioned I had some trouble getting use to the sorcerer. The Paladin plowed through the levels. The quests and the way that they lead in the game were intuitive. The 2nd scene, Lut Gholeim, was very impressive in the desert. The method that Blizzard changed the scenery was very creative compared to the previous version. Instead of going lower and lower in the ground they kept the game above the surface. I liked the fact that you can speak to more people, who gave you hints on how to play the game and find new items. I will not give the whole game away but I must say that if you want to finish the game fast play with the Paladin, or if you prefer a challenge then go with the Sorcerer. Have fun !!

9592 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 To get the bad out of the way, this game is slow, tedious, and "tactics" simply is not a good way to describe it. There is very little tactical combat involved. Moves happen immediately as soon as you choose an action. There are no attacks that change the position of enemies, so a very large amount of the game is luck regarding the position of your enemies to allow you to cast wide-range spells that will annihilate everything. Adding to the bad is the downright broken leveling system. Essentially it works like this: Perform an action, get experience and job points. Regardless of what action you perform. This ends up making you enter a random battle, killing all except one enemy, and throwing rocks at each other for an hour until you all have leveled up obscenely, and can essentially learn any skill now. Not very fun. The story is also pretty pathetic, the translation makes the game very difficult to understand, and the story itself doesn't stand out among other RPGs. Personally, I don't care for the whole medieval politics setup, but it might please some. The good? There are a whole lot of skills and classes to learn and be, and the idea of being able to equip TWO job skills at once makes for some pre-battle strategy. For instance, you can choose to have a hybrid black and white mage, or a knight and a monk, or a summoner and a gunman. It's a nice little touch. The soundtrack is also pretty decent orchestral stuff that can be catchy at times. Nonetheless, the whole experience gets very old after a while. The battles are not very diverse, you just unload your skills on everyone time and time again, the graphics are annoying and the camera can be frustrating, and overall, it just isn't very fun. Get Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for the PS2 instead, which does EVERYTHING much better, is deeper and more stylish, and much more strategy-oriented.
My personal opinion is, as you propably know, that this is one of the best Computer roleplaying games out there, underline ROLEPLAY.
3917 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I found the game to be alright. I love the real board game, so the I was pretty excited to play the computer version...But if you are expecting a version exactly like the game, this isn't it. There are some changes, like payback and all that. ITs fun to pick your people, and get your house and all that. Its cool how it goes through the decades and all that. If you liked the game, I think you'll like the board game, but be warned: Like the game, the mroe people that play, the better.

To begin, the guides come packaged in a box that looks like a chest. When you open it up there are six hardbound guides in there. The covers all look very similar. Each one having an embossed Hyrule symbol on them. The covers and the borders are different on each guide. The six guides included are for Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Ocarina of Time 3D, Skyward Sword and the Windwaker HD. All the guides have gold leaf pages that are shiny when looking at them from the side.

4235 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played hundreds of video games in my life, and I have to admit, they don't come much better than this game right here. In just about every way, this game gets 5 stars. Graphics, gameplay, story, multiplayer, special features, etc...

The music on this one is another winning video game soundtrack and I can easily remember the music on some of the various video game levels. My favorite of the music was the "Casino Night" zone levels with it's funky and electric groove beats and colorful melody. That level remains my favorite of the various levels on ALL of the sonic games. I espeically like how they used Pinball flippers to where you can be launched into a slot machine, where you can get bonus prizes like rings, an extra life or on the negative end, you can lose 100 rings if you get three Robotnik symbols from the slot machine.

5272 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I remember when I played the demo for this game. It was brilliant - you could stealth around, you had to be startegic and the atmosphere 10 times as tense as any other game ever. You had to loot a mansion and you could pick up some jewels for yourself as well. You had to AVOID making a comotion. The use of sound and light (or lack of them) was excellent as well. It was one of the best levels of any game I had ever played.
On the graphics side, well, they are a bit outdated, but they are still eyecandy. An amazing colourpalette is used, it just looks great. The cutscenes are black and white, just in keep with the atmosphere of the game.
5491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game for all people who love dark games and vampires and enjoy action games. Soul Reaver is full of puzzles to solve and enemys to kill. It's great fun and it isn't to hard that will be throwing your controller at the T.V. It's fun and action packed and it will make you want to purchase the other legacy of kain games to get the whole story.

5190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm going to start by saying that I only got this and the other two games because I was so confused in MGS4. But I'm so glad I got this. It is definitaly one of the best games and one of the best games I've played. Everything about it is superb. The boss battles, the story, the characters, everything. (Though the dialouge can be a bit cheesy). The only thing I have to say against this game is the camera angle and graphics. I've been used to playing PS3 games with their amazing graphics, so when I saw this it came as a bit of a shock. I've played other PS1 games around the same year with better graphics, so I'm a bit surprised with how bad this games graphics were. But by no means does it take away from the experience of the game.
1125 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is still a great game to own, especialy if you missed it, but the graphics are dated. If you have a GameCube, find a way to get it on there, and be happy you did.

It was excellent. The graphics were great,the music was cool,and Mario never looked better! This game is for everyone. I thought Banjo-Kazooie was a great game,but move over Banjo,Mario is back! The best game ever. Features new worlds,characters,setting,and don't worry some of the old villians from the early Mario games are here,and can't forget Bowser and Princess Toadstool(Peach).Better than any 64 game ever made!
FINAL RATING: 9.5 out of 10
3411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Dreamcast is the little console that couldn't. But don't let it's official failure prevent you from enjoying what is possibly the best console ever. ;)
And if all that wasn't enough, the story is artfully woven into the game, told between acts with beautifully rendered cutscenes and in-act by NPCs and events as they unfold before you. In the first act you connect with some of the people from the first game, though you may notice some differences!
Thanks for reading my review.
Majora's Mask is almost as good, but what makes Ocarina of Time better, in my opinion, is the fact that it is sort of the "ultimate" Zelda game, meaning it starts from the beginning and recreates the entire story of Link and Zelda and Ganon, and it is a completely stand-alone and definitive game. Majora's Mask, on the other hand, takes place right after the events of Ocarina of Time and has a very different structure. The three-day cycle you must live through makes for an extremely enjoyable game, but the only downside is you can't take your time and relish everything like you can in Ocarina of Time.
There are also some bonuses in the game to help you on your quest to defeat the evil Bowser Jr. For example, there are small houses that you may possibly find in a level (It requires a key, though). Once you are able to enter in, you must compete with an enemy in a certain challenge (Collect most coins, Pop most balloons, etc). There's also bonus challenges when the goal chooses a flower you had collected (In a roulette-like way).
If I could stand to look at it.
No thanks!
The Controller works, the system works and I'm Very pleased.
5933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when it came out in 2000 and enjoyed it. I didn't play it past 2000 (I finish a game and stop), but the discs had been kicking around since then. I installed it again a week or two ago and am half way finished the single player. Here are my impressions of this game in 2012:
The game is predictible, due to the fact that it follows the movie, although when it does not follow the movie, (Which it does a lot) then it gets kind of dissapointing because what you expected did not happen.
Sound/Music: The music here is usually cited as the best Uematsu soundtrack he's done. While personally I go with VII, VI is by no means a flawed soundtrack. There's tons of great themes: catchy ones, emotional ones and epic ones like Terra's Theme, Forever Rachel, Aria de Mezzo Caraterre and Dancing Mad.
Rating 4.9/5
The plot is simple. Bowser kidnapped Princess PEACH Toadstool (the first time she was ever referred to as "Peach" in North America) after the Princess invited you over for some cake. It is up to you as Mario to go forth and rescue Power Stars that are hidden throughout the castle. Enough about the plot. Let's get to the gameplay.
The level design is at times enlighitining and maddining. Some levels, like Genies lamp, Jafars palace and escape from the cave of wonders are just maddingly frustrating to get through
7666 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wonderful game and in perfect working order.
The second reason is because I am currently in a play-through of this game that I intend to make the absolute PERFECT file....and I am actually 2 Chocobracelets and 1 Precious Watch away from doing so.
We purchased Age of Empires II with our own funds.
Also, this console is very durable. Yes it's a bit bulky but it's worth it. I have on accidentally knocked it off the top of tables tripped over wires (That's a pain) and hit it when I'm on a tough level of a game but hey... it's still in one piece. You also don't have to worry about console problems like the red ring of death, a technical problem on the Xbox 360. (I'm pretty sure most people know about that but if you don't I can explain it.)
9026 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love the Donkey Kong Country series. They all have a great soundtrack, wonderful graphics, and are somewhat difficult-but very enertaining. This DKC is great because the two characters really balance each other out (one is more for stregnth, the other speed) and it really sets the standard for the other two. The only con about this game is that I like having to search for the DK coins (like in DKC 2 & 3). It makes the game more challenging and keeps you entertained longer. Other than that, I really enjoy this game, and would recommend this to anyone.
4825 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Five yrs ago, the toughest SNK superstars faced off in tag-team action in the excellent arcade game KOF 94. Now the series is back, but it hasn't learned anything new. The KOF:DM99(man that's a long title!)chugs away with tired fighting mechanics and subpar graphics. King features characters from Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. The fights are fun, but you still can't change characters during a match. Technically King's loaded with deficencies, most notably choppy, slowdown-filled 2D sprite graphics. For a part of an essentially 16 bit game to a 128 bit system, these flaws are inexcuseable and baffling. It's nice that the DC isn't limiting itself to polygon-only 3D fighting titles. But compared to Marvel vs. Capcom, Dream is a nightmare.
QFG2 is set in an Arabic setting, borrowing heavy from "1001 Nights" to "Casablanca". It's use of text is quaint. Once again, the mage has little to do.

The introduction of the (((Speed missile))) was the worst mistake of the weapon category. It's a fast missile that has the strength of three machine gun bullets. If you can fire them fast, you can do some damage, but they're so useless during combat that it really doesn't even matter.

I wouldn't recommend the missions, because they are all too easy or all too hard. I stick to skirmish and internet games myself.
Only thing I can add is that I couldn't stand these games till I picked this one up. It's hard to describe the sheer pleasure of building a massive army, leading them straight to the walls of one of your allies cities, suddenly declaring yourself enemy and have your guys raze the place to the ground.
You level up just like any other RPG with experience points after each battle. However, your weapon level up upon their usage. Each character can use up to three different weapons. Upon leveling up a weapon, something is leveled up such as HP, Vitality, Strength ect. This is the same for magic. Magic is first aquired by finding Mana Eggs and using them to buy magic. Afterwards, the more you use a certain magic, (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind) you level it up, giving you more skills. This makes leveling up a lot more fun, and even adds to the battles as you need to use certain magics to aquire new skill.

Funny thing is as soon as I bought this game again I immediately started playing it and beat it on the same day I bought it oh man I must say I still have my touch to run and jump through levels and finding secrets :)
does an impeccable job of getting you pumped up to play the game. This is a great
The maps you have to navigate through are pretty massive at times. I really felt like a lot of the level design was also influenced by the great game Marathon. A lot of times in order to open a door you have to search out a series of levers, or whatever, in order to proceed onto the next section. This game literally has hours of game play and probably took me in the vicinity of 20 to 30 hours to complete, so you really get your moneys worth. The downfall to having such large maps is it's kind of easy to get lost sometimes if you're trying to complete certain tasks. Another detriment to the game was the lighting. I put this game on maximum brightness levels in order to help me see where I was going. Sometimes that wasn't even bright enough. There are sections of this game that are absolutely dark, especially towards the end of the game. While this creates a very scary atmosphere, I felt it hindered the game play once in a while. The reason this hurts game play is because the flashlight function is incredibly annoying to deal with. You have to pick up flashlights or flares in order to see in the pitch black areas. Now to make it more realistic the flashlights eventually run out of batteries or something, but this was poorly incorporated because they only last a few minutes. Seriously, the flashlights in real life would NOT die so quickly and then it's up to you to go find another one. The only reason this hurts the game is because if you no longer have light, you can't enjoy the environment nearly as much.
1137 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not really a fan of N64. I've always been more of a Playstation one fanatic, but Zelda is undoubtedly the best game that I have ever played. If you think that Final Fantasy is good, then Zelda will make all of the installments in final fantasy look like junk. There's only a couple of games on the nintendo N64 console that of which I liked, and that was Gauntlet Legends, Super Mario, and Donkey Kong. But this game beats them all by a longshot.
I never herd of this game, until my brother brought it over, and I was hooked. I got everything for him, and yet he didn't even let me borrow the game(One stingy brother) But I got it not far after, and now I'm still enjoying it from time to time. If you love mortal Combat, or like wu-tang, this is sure not to dissapoint.
Get enough patience because the game is long and pretty hard to understand, but once the effort's been made it's really worth it!
More ram.
+terrific voice acting

Multiplayer is good 2.
8845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fast shipping arrived in great condition just as described. Great classic game to add to my collection. Highly recommended. Thanks! A+ this is one of the top selling games for SNES of all time and probably the most played game in the metroid series. This game is really long with a lot of secrets. good luck getting 100%
2186 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Racing is my favorite genre and this is my favorite racing game. The controls are grab and go with no fine points of control. Something about them all being VW Bugs makes it appealing instead of boring. Driving in the slush and snow here approaches the feel of real driving in snow ie planning turns.
Another thing about the game is that you have to unlock half of it. You have to beat the game with everyone which makes you appreciate each character's strength and weaknesses. Yoshi doesn't have a triple jump so you have to play to that weakness while Kirby has about 7 jumps which a strength. You have to learn to take advantage of your enemies weaknesses. If you see Samus charging up be ready to reflect it back with Fox.
Through the whole game, you play as Woody. Most levels take place on a 2D plane, whether they be platforming levels, "vehicle" levels, or levels that are hard to pin down into specific genre. The stage when you're walking with Buzz through Pizza Planet, hiding under cups and burger boxes, really stands out as a great example of the game's varied gameplay. You see, the level takes place on a 2D plane, much like the platforming levels, but this level isn't about platforming. It's about doing what you can to not take damage from things like falling burgers, fries, soda cans, and most impressive from a graphical standpoint, the feet of children walking by. If you duck inside of the large soda cup placed on top of your head, you won't take damage from these kids almost trampling on you. If you don't, well.. Tough rocks. The legs and feet of the children walking by look as though they were ripped straight from the game Out of This World, also known as Another World outside of the states. The graphics really are that good.
Other than that though, awesome game, and I sure can't wait until Blizzard releases news about Starcraft 2! (If they do:D)

2706 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the first rpgs I ever played. This game is really good, and really fun to play--no matter how many times you've played it.
7417 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Introduction: Blood Omen Legacy of Kain is the first game in the Legacy Of Cain line produced by Chrystal Dynamics. It was created by them with the help of Silicon Knights and is a Gothic fantasy game about a vampire named Kain and his quest to save the world and come to terms with what he is at the same time. This game is one of my personal favorites, it has a wonderful setting, a fantastic story and amazing characters. And even now many years after it's release when it's graphics are outdated and far more advanced games are out there to thrill the senses. I am still blown away by the powerful, beautiful story and fun game play of Blood Omen Legacy Of Kain.
5070 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While the online debate rages as to Q3 versus UT, I would argue that there is room for both.
It plays like your average racing games but you're on snowboards trying to race down the hills or slopes!
3001 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Whats not to love about this game, it has great music, great storytelling & lots of stuff to do that most first time players end up maxing out the in-game clock. I however spent over a year & half playing this game alone. My first playstation died because of this game.
Gameplay first. Blizzard has expanded the number of available character types to 5, with more mage-type classes and a fighter/mage Paladin. As you gain experience points, you are still able to place your experience points in general categories that boost your mana, strength, dexterity, etc. It helps in placing your experience points to know how you want your character to develop. For example, if your Paladin is going to be a fighter, you'll want to boost his strength and dexterity. Still, you'll want to boost his mana as well in order to take advantage of his magical abilities. For the Necromancer and the Sorceress, Mana is clearly the way to go. For the Barbarian, strength, and for the Amazon, Strength and Dexterity.
I think as a pris you sometimes get a flow witch changes your drees and wehn you preees X she throws fier at dangr twords herself the princess name is peach. I think thay call her pech because she smalls like peachs. I don't know if that is why her name is peach? Well the compny of this game rivire why the princess name is pech?
Gameplay is fun filled fighting action. None stop action and fast paces moves make this an action packed thrill ride of none stop ass kicking and you'll do even better if you get Kirby who is the best. No matter how bad you think the game is you have to admit the gameplay is Action packed and is nothing but nonstop fun! The gameplay in this game is just worth getting the game. Ewww Samus never looked so good...blah!
I only have a couple complaints about the game: loading times were annoyingly long -- one and a half to two minutes. This made the difficult sections where I died a lot tough to slog through. Also, there was one place where I had to use a walkthrough because even though I had the in-game gamma correction turned up all the way, I still couldn't see a passageway I had to go through. I had to turn up the brightness on my monitor to find it. You're probably thinking "No duh, dummy", but I like to play with a low brightness level (makes the game extra scary at night) and I was able to see everything fine except for this one area. A minor point though -- in general the level design was linear but good.
7932 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game provided me with my first "fatality" and I've been playing it ever since. Easy enough to manage without the fatalities and easy enough to play without tying your fingers in knots, MK1 was the beginning of a franchise and, as you can see; the series gets better and better. This one has not lost its appeal.
2=jump off.
5576 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fun
Personally i think this game should have had a new game+ function (where you can go through the game again with stats, materia, items ect. But maybe if Square gets a remake going they'll throw that function in. Only because i never get tired of this game & its one game that does deserve a remake.
Some people might think that it is a tad expensive, but this game takes first person shooters to the next level.
Stuck in an old mansion in the middle of the woods. You have limited space to carry the scant supplies the game gives you. Not much ammo. Not much health. And zombies and rabid dogs everywhere. This game was awesome.
Play Control: 8/10
For the most part, Lunar Silver Star Story has a cliched overly done storyline. Despite that, however, it is one of the best in the genre because it has a fantastic cast of characters who are all well developed, a good sense of humor, one of the best villains in video game history as well as a very emotional story. All these things make you forget the cliched storyline and make it something enjoyable and memorable. The story also has a few really great looking anime cinematics and some incredibly good voice acting to help flesh out the humor and wit. It also helps that the dialog is extremely well written. Put simply, the story is presented very well.
interesting levels

8407 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A fantastic rare snes title. It's so fun to see the blend of Mario and final fantasy. If you can afford a copy this is a must own for a collection
A more accurate rating for this game, overall, is really 4.5 stars; but, of course, Amazon won't let you grade in "half stars." A true masterpiece, Starfox 64 stands as one of the greatest games ever created for the Nintendo 64, and perhaps even all time. I recently got it as my first and only Star Fox title; and, though I'm normally not a fan of games with shooting and space ships like this, this game succeeded in impressing! Analyzing its features step by step, it's pretty hard to find reasons why this game shouldn't be loved:
-A game on the playstation that finally has some decent graphics, this game looks good and the GF animations are incredible the first few times you watch them -Really good movie clips, the FMA is well done and clearly toiled over -Simple game play, long time gamers and new gamers can get into it -Dream sequences add to the story, very original and a lot of fun -About as mature as it's predecessor game, it's look adds to the feeling
2861 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Duke on the 64. What more do you want? This is the best console port and it runs smoothly. There is some censorship but if you want the full duke package on 64 get this and Zero Hour.
With that said, don't be fooled into thinking the game will be a cakewalk because of all the easy obstacles found throughout World One. It DOES get harder. You see, many of the enemies you face in the later levels can only be defeated by either smacking them with your head, or shooting fire at them. You won't know which of these tricks will be most effective on them until you face the enemy and experiment. You also have to dodge fireballs, sword-swipes, dogs jumping at you, and tons of other enemy attacks WHILE you try to find the best way to defeat them. So it's not pathetically easy after all.
-2 different scenarios: play as X and receive various arm-shot weapons, or play as Zero and learn various sword techniques.
- the battles doesn't age so good like other gameplay elements
711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just as promised.
The graphics are simplistic yet primitive and small for the gameboy but works well on Super GameBoy for the SNES. If you can find this at a flea market, Pawn-Shop or Online then you'll be surprised on how well this holds up as i do believe the sequels are even better.
171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My brother had one of these for the longest time so I used his until he wanted it back. I found this a lil while ago and have been loving it ever since, giving the controller much needed grip and makes holding it for long gaming sessions much more comfortable.
8127 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awsome it's the first time we get yoshi and other different yoshis. mario and luigi doing there thing for two player. u get new power upslike the feather which u can fly and make a huge bang. music is awsome graphics are good for 16 bit when playing this game u get to use the spin jump to break objects when your not small. Over all this game is a classic adventure game. This game also has lots of fun for super nintendo
The games certainly lack the graphical polish of the games of today. But that is irrelevant - they offer great gameplay, great music, and most importantly, great stories. It is rather obvious that FF 6 is the more sophisticated of the two games, but FF 5 has its own charms. In particular, anyone who has played Final Fantasy Tactics will recognize the job system.
sincerly,
9861 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game
9704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Caesar 3 is unstoppable! You can play it a million times and each game will be different. The cities in the game can be huge, one of my cities covered the whole map.
6998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Fox is a game of strategy for me. You have to focus a lot or else you cannot beat it. You have a team of 4, Fox, Peppy, Slippy, and Falco. You have to sweat onto a lot of different courses and meet certain objectives to win. I like the endings of levels too. Multi-player can support 4 player action. Best used with rumble pak!
I don't know the story, but I was impressed with the innovative graphics, gory violence and tight futuristic weapons this game has. Man, the weapons are weird! But that's the cool part!
I love the fact that you actually go back to the police station from the previous Resident Evil game for a short while. You go back, grab some things, and then head back out to the streets again, where most of the game takes place. Interesting how the music from the main hall of the police station has remained exactly the same, and it's also interesting when you notice certain places blocked off that were very important to access in the previous game with Claire and Leon as your playable characters.
7226 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 What can I say? This game is HUGE, but it's fun. I was initially adamant at trying it out because I had been disappointed with Banjo-Kazooie the year before, but as soon as I got into it, I was hooked. This game is not for the weak of heart. It is about twice the size of Banjo-Kazooie. There are twice as many Golden Bananas as B-K had Jiggies. There are more than 3 times the amount of bananas (for Banana Medals) than B-K had Musical Notes. When you play a level in Donkey Kong 64 and then go back and try a level in Banjo-Kazooie, it feels terribly restricted. Yet the gameplay is still essentially the same. You move around the levels (you control five characters this time) and perform a variety of tasks, after which you are awarded a Golden Banana for your efforts. And then you lather, rinse, and repeat. Boss battles play an even larger part of a role than in B-K, where the only boss battle seemed to have been at the end of the game. Everybody have the same general moves, but they all must earn them independently from Cranky, Candy, or Funky with their specific coins.
408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent game for spending some time on. I have played it before on a demo cd long ago so that's why I decided to buy it. It's about passing missions and destroying planes, bases, ships, etc. It find it very fun. The missions happen in different ambiences and time of the day which makes it more interesting. You can get new planes with different attributes according to what you want. A great title for the ps.
Jerry's final thoughts: Duke Nukem is ready to kick butt and chew bubble-gum. And he's all out of bubble gum. So rip' em a new one and hail to the king baby, `cause Duke is ready for action and saying, "lets rock"
The N64 side doesn't work at all for me. I tried it with both an OEM Nintendo controller and an InterAct MakoPad 64 (both tested and work perfectly with a real N64). With both of them, all buttons and axes (even the ones N64 controllers don't have, like the right stick) constantly press and unpress on their own.
477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks a lot, It's a great product & service
Gameplay B
The shortcomings of its experiences aside, Final Doom is a worthy and refreshingly different follow-up to Doom. At it's simplest level it may be more of the same, but those who immerse themselves in what it has to offer will find it contains a feel all it's own. It's not always fun, and some parts are of more value than others (The Master Levels being the main draw here) but those with a little patience will have little problem in adding this to their collection.
5605 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love this game. one of the best in the series it is also the game that got me into final fantasy. fun and challenging.
Overall, I regret having bought the game. I can't recommend it unless you're compelled to get an RTS fix.
480 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a legendary ps1 game
The second aspect that still wows is the games music. From Jazz, to Classical, to Rock, the game's soundtrack is varied and always will get stuck in your head. It is moody, desolate, exciting, and mysterious at all the right times.
6630 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Believe me, I would give this game zero stars if Amazon.com allowed me.
7118 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Made by the people that brought us Goldeneye..this game takes place in the future with a super spy by the name of Joanna Dark. With the same control sceme, graphics engine this game brings the same amount of fun as its predecessor. This game has an awesome multi player mode, plenty of unlockable cheats. This game is a shining example of how great the Nintendo 64 really is.
8998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of those classic bad games from your childhood. I bought it again for my collection because its a must have. It is annoying and the music is repetitive but once you start playing you just cant stop. If you are like me you will love this game.
* There are MAJOR improvements in automation beyond just the governor and "slants" such as using queue's for building, and "group" commands like "build road to" instead of having to go tile by tile to do it. The GOTO command is improved too complete with mod's like "avoid enemies" etc
9186 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Killer instinct is a fighter that showed up during the huge flare up of fighting games. It is similar to mortal Kombat in a few ways but executed differently in others. Both games revolve around special moves and combos. Killer instinct focuses on the combos more then anything, with an announcer who will announced your combo based on how long it lasts. I.e 3 hits is a super combo and 29 is an ultra combo. The game has a learning curve that all fighters demand but with practice and patience you can get the hang of it
Good Graphics
3871 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gamesharks are so fun. I'm going to use this on all of my zelda games. Gerudos fortress as a child? No problem! Unlimited light arrows? Yes please! super addicting to alter games with this device
6557 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I rate this product five stars because it works properly and it's just what I wanted. I like this product because I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy video game series, and I would recommend this to any rpg gamer.
I'll make my review short because other reviewers had covered the basics and importance of Super Mario 64. It stars Mario in an open world where each stage is contained within various paintings scattered through Princess Peach's castle. The storyline is pretty typical by now: King Bowser kidnaps the princess and you jump in to rescue her. The graphics are colorful, bright and were a breakthrough in video game technology at the time. The controls are perfect and take almost no time to get used to. It's a pretty challenging game so expect to replay certain stages over and over again. So why did I give it 4.5 stars? The camera is not perfect but back then, getting the camera to work in any open world style game was difficult to program. It always centers behind you but sometimes gets a little wacky when you go up ledges or around corners. It gets annoying after awhile but you learn to tolerate it.
One such case is Critical Depth. Think of it as a Twisted Metal but with an underwater theme. There's more to this one, though, as the story goes like this...Douglas McKragen(an undersea explorer)comes up missing when he discovers fives alien-pods underwater. Twelve different factions enter the sea to find out more about these pods and set a course to uncover this mystery. The games' cast include the nefarious Dr. A. Pocalypse captaining the Armageddon (which can trap subs with a grappling hook); the revolutionary organization the VLO with The Anarchy (which drops spiky metal balls); several men-in-black types from the CIA with The Manta (which fires a deadly electromagnetic ray); the Soviet Die-Hards and The Stalingrad (a slow but strong ramming ship); the Indiana Jones-like Professor Armstrong and The Archimedes (which is a rapid-firing Jules Verne-type sub); Greenpeace wanna-bes Team Earth Hope and the Mean Peace (which shoots a dolphin-shaped torpedo); ex-children's show host Captain Cutlass with the Sea Dog (yep, it blasts cannon balls); the evil Mordrid Corporation and the Bottom Liner (which steals weapons); Jack "Lockjaw" Keon and The Lockjaw (a shark-like sub with a bite); Deadhead Joe Skullion and the Death Sled (which shoots trippy-colored discs that stun); the mystical Order of Nishroch and the Ohm (which casts energy blasts); and The French Oceanographers and the La Griffe (which has crushing mechanical arms). This cast is just as memorable as those in Twisted Metal. It has three modes of play...The Story mode where you(and a friend, if you like) plays through eleven levels to find out your faction's involvement in it all, The Battle mode which has you being the first to capture all the pods in the level, and the Deathmatch mode which is, basically, where you fight against a friend or the game itself in split-screen. Instead of annihilating your enemies as in Twisted Metal, your objective in this game is to find the orbs in each level and head for the escape gateway. But, trust me, you'll have your work cut out for you trying to. Another difference between this game and Twisted Metal is that Twisted Metal is blisteringly fast while Critical Depth is a more slow and plodding game. Make no mistake, it is definitely better for that reason. Besides, it has to be slow to give the illusion you're underwater, anyhow.
Great shipping and condition of product.
7714 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diddy kong racing is way better than mario kart because it has different transportation. It also has Conker.
PERFECT DARK hasn't been talked about that much because it was minor success. But it sure beats the hell out of some other shooter games today! So dust off your N64 from your closet and check this game out!

Where to begin? Well, let's start with the other humans. For some reason, Jurassic park is populated with thousands of soliders and janitors, both who are equipped with military weapons and are, for some reason, out to kill you. No matter where you go, you'll find dozens of soldiers and janitors shooting at you and chucking grenades in your direction (Luckily, Grant can survive multiple grenade hits, so it's not too much of a problem). It's a mystery why these guys are out to kill you when there's no logical reason to it. Furthermore, they seemed to have made an alliance with the local dinosaurs because they never attack them, and the dinosaurs never attack them as well. It seems that poor Grant is under the crosshairs of every single living thing on the island.
7322 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Alien Ressurection the game, makes the movie of the same title look like an Oscar winning masterpiece (well, ok maybe not). The only reason it got two stars was for the awesome atmosphere and graphics that this game has to offer plus the level of geniune fear and suspense that it conjurs up.
Here's why.
- No story, think of the game more like a great big Metal Gear VR test

As you progress your actions determine what alignment your characters is, and you have the option of being a fighter, a mage, or a thief as you progress. It's a really great game with plenty to do and tons of entertainment time.
4566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Honostly people, this is the best game on Playstation today, and will most likely take ages to outclass. I first learned of this game from a review in a magazine, but I wasn't really into skateboarding, so I decided to let this one slide. Coincidentally, my cousin brought over his Dreamcast version, and one night later, I was off to buy this game at the nearest location possible. In this game, you play as one of 8 of the world's greatest pro skaters, as you compete in different levels and competitions. By doing different moves on your board (this is done by moving the left joystick in any direction, and pressing either square or circle or triangle - square does flips, circle does holds, and triangle does different grinds).In your skating adventures, you compete to win "tapes" which are used to unlock new boards, new levels, new characters, and competitions. To win the tapes, you've got to board your way like a pro through different levels, trying to destroy certain objects, beat high scores, spell the word SKATE, and by finding a hiddin tape (obviously hiddin in the level). It may sound kinda simple, it may sound complicated....but trust me, it's ALL GOOD! And even if you do manage to find someone who hates this game, who could hate the great tracks of music it features, from REAL bands? Okay, but here's where I'm gonna get picky. Sometimes while pulling off moves that you need to get you that top score, you'll fall over on some un-foreseen object, or you'll be goin for a quarter pipe, and a car will hit you (yes, there are cars!). But that's really gettin picky! The only other real draw back I can find is that it's too addictive! Trust me and buy this game!
*Sound is pretty cool. It has a decent range of types of music.
Some of the worlds (or dreams, or visions, or whatever) took getting used to, but how rewarding it all was. The story will keep you awake, and follow you in months to come after you've finished Sanitarium.
2009 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When i first played this game last Christmas, for the first time, i thought "oh my goodness, how do you play this! "...this is a mario game but at that time i wasn't feeling too well and the strange appearance of the game made my head spin.
Before there was Ly, Lums, Razorbeard, the Rabbids, or even Globox for that matter, there was Rayman, the fairy that created him, and the evil Mr. Dark. This was a platformer that just suddenly improved upon everything people loved about platforming games. It had great gameplay, catchy music (as noted), and amazing graphics that reveal hugely detailed environments.
8885 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Metroid 2 is a decent game for the time period it came out in. It is enjoyable playing as Samus hunting down all the metroids in 6 different areas. The only thing that really hurt the game was the lack of free roaming exploration. There is no backtracking in this game. Once a player has killed all the metroids in one area and found all the gear there was no point in spending any more time in that zone you just keep moving forward where the lava blocked your path.
2802 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Riven" is a continuation of the popular role-playing game, "Myst." I didn't think it could outdo its predecessor, as most sequels are never able to quite live up to the original. But "Riven" more than met that task. In fact, "Riven" so surpasses "Myst" in scope, storyline and task that it's almost boggling.
I've recently bought NINJA GAIDAN for XBOX and that game reminded me of this with the great cenery and graphics.
8906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is another one of my favorite snes games. It is great and everything but it gets very hard and confusing after you get far enough. The graphics are just the same as all of the other snes games and the sound is a little better than most snes games but is still not the best. It took me forever to figure out what to do so i stoped playing it. When i finally got unstuck i started playing it and beat it in seven hours. Yes that is kinda a long time but it was the very first metroid game i played and i got almost every item. This game has a very creative storyline and awesome music like all Metroids but the last battle against motherbrain i will never forget. Especially after i beat the game because i don't know if its just me not smart enough to figure out but everytime i want to play it again i have to re beat motherbrain and the last part which i have done many times and each time gets eaiser. But the game doesnt save and you cant really do anything but start a new game on a new slot. Many people say this is the best Metroid game out there, and at least 80% of people who own an snes and this game say its the best game for it. I loved this game and it has a great storyline, if you have played any Metroid before or just a decent gamer you can rent it after school or work and beat it before midnight without stopping.
9083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic gaming and hard to defeat.
If you dare to play this game on the Genesis, make sure you have no interruptions: go to the bathroom before playing, make sure your parents don't need anything for two hours, and leave a message on your answering machine that says "I'm playing Street Fighter 2 on the Genesis that has no pause button, leave a message after the beep. BEEP!"
9612 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The whole "Tactics Ogre" style of this game makes it a great play and a welcome surprise in the series. The game does take a lot more strategy, so some may find it more difficult. However, fans of the real-time strategy genre may enjoy this game, even though they may dislike the RPG genre as a whole.
When you find another action stage, things will get a bit better, but only for a while. Some of the cool things you can do are snowboard, speed through a futuristic highway. Cool. But, then it is back to boredom and the annoying voices (especially tails.) If you are a real platfor fan, skip this one and get Rayman 2. It may not be super-fast, but it sure isn't boring. And it has better worlds and graphics.

647 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good
But with all that said, for at least one playthrough... perhaps Donkey Kong 64 is overlong and surely lacks replay value since you'll never want to play through a game like this ever again, but the first time through it's a pretty good game. I will recommend this game because it's entirely likely you'll have a different reaction than the one I have, but please pick up the Donkey Kong Country games first (all 3 of them, and then if you're still in the mood for more banana-grabbing madness pick up DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze for the Wii/Wii U). Overall, a good game deserving of a 4-star rating.
7911 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had a copy of this game back in the 90s. It blew me away! I spent countless hours playing it over and over again. It's very addictive, as most Nintendo games tend to be. Power ups and game play are amazing! Mine was stolen, so I had to come here to get another copy. You definitely need this game in your video game library!
Absolutely awesome! I can't even think of another word to say right now. Wait, one more thing. The clarity of the animations and a commendable attempt at a more sophisticated musical score makes me think Bloodlines was an influence for the legendary Symphony of the Night that would be released a few years later. The credits theme is absolutely *brilliant* in both emotion and effectiveness too especially since you're able to see the bosses scrolling along the screen. While Dracula X may have the most spectacular backgrounds and music, the problem with that game is that it's too safe and doesn't take chances like this game does. Is Bloodlines better than Super Castlevania IV? I honestly think it's a notch better but it's *really* close. Bloodlines is simply the best Castlevania game of the 8-bit and 16-bit generation of gaming but I KNOW a lot of people think Super Castlevania IV takes the cake, and I certainly won't argue with anyone who prefers SCIV since that game is amazing too. HIGHLY recommended even with the big price tag so please, buy it now!
For you are Gordon Freeman, Reseach Assistant. And the liesurely tram ride through the massive Black Mesa Research complex provides subtle clues that everything in your life is about to go horribly wrong. Sure, everything SEEMS normal; just another day at the top-secret government laboratory, right? Yeah, the gaurds grumble about their computers crashing and senior scientists berate you for being late, but its just another one of those days at the office.
575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I believe that any twisted metal game you purchase will be fun and exiting because, the fundamentals are the same throughout all the games. Seek out enemy, kill and move to the next level, and the cool thing is you are using cars to blow things up and getting to destroy others. Also the levels are locations that we all reconciles, so that adds to the fun. I like twisted metal 3 because they brought more of a 3D look to cheaters, locations, car, weapons and added new cheaters to the story as well as embellish on the story line. Yes the graphics are not all out there however, the game play is the same and for the most part is stood true to the twisted metal franchise that was created in the beginning. If you love twisted meat at all you will love this one. I have played all twisted metal games and for the most part I do like them all. And this one I really do like very much.
Magic System : 3/10
Plenty of traveling in this game. You learn the mystery of Will's past, and more as you travel through dangerous ruins, climb incredible heights, explore many towers, castles and more....
The last thing that bothered me about this game is that the ending was better if you lost on the last board (the GWAR concert) because if you lost, it was more like the real Beavis and Butthead. You know, a couple of morons who lost their objective.
The object of the game is simple, Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach, and you, Mario (the greatest Plummer in the world), must save her. Bowser is hiding somewhere in the castle and you must find him by collecting all of the hidden stars scattered throughout various paintings that give Mario his power. To find Bowser, you must climb to the top of the tower. Each floor requires a certain number of stars that have to be collected before you can move on. Every painting that has stars in them are magical paintings that Mario can jump through to transport himself to a different world were he can explore for stars.
Characters? Well, I will not lie, Clare is a tom-boy in tight cut-off shorts. Leon is a whiny looser who suffers from some sort of inferiority complex. The Police Chief is a nut. The scientist who caused the outbreak is one fry short of a whole happy meal. The little girl side-kick is unnecessary but a nice addition. And Ada, the asian spy, is completely dull. Each character, due to the limitations of the system, can only move their arms and bodies to convey emotion, as the faces are merely plastered on a square head. Often they will move thier hands as they talk to convey apathy, disgust, horror, or anger. This is well done in the game, but the limitations of the technologies of the time show like a festering pimple. Still, it holds up.
HARD MODE:
MUSIC 5/5: O YA! the death adder (last boss tune) song rocks! an even level 6/7 tunes! in fact their all great! although i got sega smash pack 4 GBA cuz golden axe was on it an i was alittle disapointed that they cut out alot of the music=(
The graphics look exceptional for being built on an aging engine. The environments are very well done and are varied enough between mission to break any monotony. The levels are designed to keep you on track with the action. Probably the most impressive part is the character animation and hit detection. The models move extremely smoothly and react to location based damage. Shoot someone in the shoulder and they are thrown back in that direction. Shoot someone in the leg and they hop around, point blank in the face...well. Although it is very extreme, it adds a lot to the war is hell gritty feeling. Raven has even gone as far as to include various violence lockdowns with passwords; or you can just opt to not install any of the violent features.
6662 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I used to have one of these when I was about 10. I'm 16 now. But, my point is that it's really cool you can take pictures with your Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance.

5185 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 After all the years and all the hype I expected that this game would have *something* to recommend it. Sure, I realized it wasn't going to be the GAME TO END ALL GAMES. I always make sure to discount 25% for hype. But, my gods, what a poor showing this is!
Oh yeah, the soundtrack is INCREDIBLE! I've never heard a soundtrack so beautifully made as this one.
Since I've finished this game I've played the other two Land games and while the original Land is good despite its problems (2 is oddly disappointing for some reason...) I feel this is the strongest of the GameBoy games and considering how little it costs to procure this is just an excellent game to add to anyone's collection. However, as good as Donkey Kong Land III is - and how rewarding the unlockable time trial mode is - the sad fact is many people have completely forgotten about the Land series. In a certain sense this isn't surprising given that ports of the original Super Nintendo games were made available on the GameBoy Advance but it's shame that these games are being passed up.
House of the Dead 2
7458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of those games you can just come back to again and again.
*King of Fighters Evolution/ Dream Match '99- Updated graphics (for 1999, at least), and a couple of new characters. Choose a team of four, and one acts as an assist-type "striker" in Evolution. Nice 3D backgrounds in both games.
I DO have one complaint- there doesn't seem to be an option for you to lock-on to your target, so YOU are forced to find and face the target. For example, if a guard is located south/east of you, you have to actually use the directional pad to face south/east and THEN you can shoot him. You have to face him directly or he'll continue shooting at you until you're dead. This can be a pain because turning correctly is a bit of a challenge. This could have been fixed with one simple "lock-on nearest target" feature.
OVERALL-
Now, with games it's a different story, I don't know why, but I'm much more forgiving and willing to accept a world where fairies, gnomes and other creatures excist.
5911 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great, anything else to say about it would just waste your time when you should be clicking the BUY IT NOW button !
4117 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is absolutely wonderful. I can't think of how anyone could make another game of the same genre that would rival it. You begin way back at the dawn of man. You have just villagers & clubmen. From there, you size up & use your assets to your best advantage; villagers can chop wood for houses & buildings, mine gold for $$$$, mine stone for lookout towers, fish, hunt, build stuff and...oh my.
The game has a fairly rational progression through the streets, on a ship, and eventually to the boss' lair. If you turn up the difficulty this game can get VERY hard. I've had this game on GameGear as well and it's much harder on that system, since once you start getting swept they can often keep it up for an entire life bar. The Genesis version doesn't have that problem.
For an older game, it is not without its bugs -- it does crash from time to time and some of its features do get annoying, but Rebellion is still entertaining and fun to play. What more can one ask of a game designed in the late 1990s for Windows 95/98....except maybe a Prequel edition or a revamped Classic Trilogy/EU version with new graphics?

6. N64: One version (Young Link's world) is not corrupted by Ganon's evil. Ganon has just recently showed up. Version II (Adult Link's world), is an evil corrupted version (albeit older) of Young Link's world. The only difference is in one its two different versions of the same thing, in Zelda 64 it's the time barrier. But for game play, they're the same.
- Sidney computer - using this computer to analyze mysterious documents and search hidden messages in images is simply excellent and unforgetable
Battle mode is where it gets all my stars. I love the selection of moves you learn. The indepth way to accuratly take out your foe is impressive. Every type of kick and punch, also up to 4(or was it 5) combos. Holding moves(front and back). Reversals, and lying down moves.
- All the music is from real and somewhat known American/British techno bands
8433 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Intro: Wario was in his canoe when suddenly a duck on a large ship appeared, Wario was shocked and started to chase this Duck around and around several times until Wario tricked the Duck and smashed in to the front of his Ship and then the title appeared and Wario gave everyone his cool looks.
4. The bonus levels are more fun than the first game.
The things I've mentioned don't even scratch the surface of MGS's story, characters, and twists. Don't trust anybody. That is my best advice.
When I picked up Suikoden, it was a slow night, and just about everything else I wanted to rent was out. When I first played it, I was slightly ambivolent in my decision as to whether or not It was a cool game. The opening intro, with it's soulful choir, gripping and excellently composed music, and great still pics of the games scenes and cast, blow's away almost every tune in the final fantasy audio library. Heck, Andrew Loyed Webber or John Williams would be hard pressed to do better. But upon entering the game, things seemed to be... only average. Though the story was good, and the dialouge was well written, and there were powerful and very funny scenes early on, it lacked Final fantasy's epic atmosphere. Also, the opening is the games audio highlight. Don't expect it to get any better then that. But what Suikoden II lacks in atmosphere, it makes up for in substance. The charachter's are written in such a way that even the most fantastic and unreal scenarios seem believable. From Luca Blight's savagery and cruelty, to Shu's strategic brilliance, to Jowry's desparate measures that he takes to protect those he loves, every moment is very believable and real.
The difference between Silent Hill and Resident Evil or others like them is that Silent Hill is pyschologically scary. Resident Evil is set within a realistic world where the horrors that happen are concrete machinations of a tangible force. In other words, its based in reality and has boundaries set within the human world. It is... Explainable. And once you know what exactly is happening to cause all this weirdness, then it's not as scary anymore. The world you tread in becomes a by-product of the entity you're trying to get at. In Silent Hill, you're fighting against the world itself, and you're not sure exactly what is causing all this until the end.
3489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know it was quite sad when I went to a friend who considers themselves a Hardcore gamer.. and I told them I just bought a Sega Dreamcast... they said a what?? I said you know the Dreamcast.. the last system Sega ever made... he told me I was wrong and said that The Saturn was the last system they ever made... we went on the internet where he found out he was wrong..at the end I could not blame him though... he became Hardcore off the PS2 generation.. and had never really heard of the Dreamcast.. which is not surprising because it seemed almost like a blink of the eye.. it was here.. and it was gone.. before it's proper generation had even really started the Dreamcast was doomed.. which is unfortunate.. Because with this last system.. Sega Unleashed a beast.. and it is awesome.. Now on to the pluses and minuses.
1813 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has everything the first part lacked. It has even better graphics. This was the first one of the crash series I tried, and it was fun. Before that, I was hooked on fighting games, like street fighters, and tekken, but they are not that fun after playing it a 100 times or so. In this game you can spend as much time without losing interest.
If you love the Lion King, and have a soft spot for the SNES system, this game is a must. It is beautiful, and the music score is even more so. The game captures the feel of the movie perfectly, and detracts nothing. Again, five stars for this.

Also, with no 'fast forward', you often have to go eat dinner or watch a movie before your park, which has met the 'winning criteria', finally gets through the years required for the trophy. It'll run itself all the while, but it can get quite tedious.
2510 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I'll admit it, I have a Gameboy of my own. 40-something mother of two, and I got one for myself so that I could play with my kids. They're great! We are all great Pokemon fans, which is how we got sucked into the whole Gameboy thing, and those are still our favorite games.
941 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like racing games, Mario Kart 64 is among the best. The game is very simple to control, there's no bulls*** ranking system like in some of the newer games, and is actually a challenge. The game is stupidly fast, and will make you actually feel like you're racing. The game may be a bit dated, but it's fun as hell.

Square has released many RPGs on Playstation, some of them terrific on their own, but none have topped their first, a must-purchase for all Playstation owners. If you like incredible stories but don't own a Playstation, it's worth buying one just for Final Fantasy VII.
If you own a PSONE or a PS2, you MUST own SoTN. I also recommend Castlevania 64, even though a lot of people hated it. It's much better than Lament Of Innocence, which is basically a repetitive, boring hack and slash fest with pretty graphics.
Final Thoughts:
337 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 These things work really great and can be combined for even longer cable lengths but be warned that the rubber shielding seems to slip around the plug head. Not a big deal, but could lead to eventual short.

8800 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome Game. It's Fun, Hard, and Simple. Great Graphics Too. Super Fun.
This is the oldest Naughty Dog title I've played (as far as I know), however it has a lot of the issues which I've noticed from their games in the past. Nasty difficulty spikes (the eight or so level should be closer to the end) and the 'one path to the end of a platformer' standard which Super Mario World truely broke when it came out take the one star out of this otherwise superb game.
But the only bad thing. As all SSB games, you'll feel bored after twenty multiplayer battles (just to say sth), well but that's no problem. The action continues!
6699 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After my success of "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins", I decided to play the first "Super Mario Land". To me this game is okay, but nothing too exciting to write home about. It's basically like playing the first Super Mario game back when it was on Nintendo. There are four levels to beat, and each end of the level has a boss to beat.
Pros:
Although they added in the ability to play as different characters, this is still a very bad gameplay wise game. As Sonic, you go through the longest portions of the game. Sonic's story is probably one of the most interesting and well worth your time. Tails consists of you racing Sonic to try to prove that you are just as good as him. This is fairly fun, but you are practically just replaying a portion of Sonic's game. As Amy you will be protecting a bird. You have a hammer as a weapon, which is at least a little interesting. As Big you have to fish to find your friend, Froggy. This is a change in pace, but it is poorly done and very annoying trying to catch that stupid frog. Knuckles can glide and climb on things. As Knuckles you are looking for pieces of crystals. This is fun, but far too easy. As E-102 you are working for Robotnik for most of the game, but you also get to play the aftermath. He has probably the easiest game in the entire game as he uses a gun.
I label Fear effect as a game only a true gamer can appreciate, so if you are all about quick play, easy gaming and have little ability or desire to use a bit of brain power then this game is not for you but if you're up for challenges, are patient and possess appreciation for this type of experience then its definitely a good buy.
3134 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is it! the best game of all time even ff8 can't stand over this game I did not like rpg's tell I played this game there is no reason not to buy it...well you might lose you'r job get kicked out of school lose you'r boy/girlfriend because you will do nothing but play this game! and belive me or not I stayed up for a full week to play this game with only a 15 min brake every 5 hrs! and I had my parants get me homeschool just so I could play this game more!!! no I'm not lieing! BUY THE GAME!!!
Hundreds of better games for the Playstation are available if you're looking to start up a collection. Avoid games like this one where just walking around becomes the biggest challenge you will face. God what was I thinking giving this game 4 stars. I should have collected my thoughts first.
GRAPHICS: FF8 abandoned the cartoonish look of FF7 and Squaresoft opted for more realistic looking graphics. Some of the scenes in this game could give some early PS2 games a run for their money. The GF animations are crisp and clear and the characters look much better than FF7.
8056 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I haven't yet had a chance to play the original tomba but after picking up a copy of Tomba 2 recently i have to say i'm pretty impressed - i wasn't expecting it to look so good and to have such solid enjoyable gameplay.
The Lows: They don't move their mouths, low replay value, didn't get much from Multiplayer, No action plot will ever beat that of Half-Life.
Still Rareware really did an excellent job, and their success here propelled the company to a strong supporting role on the Nintendo 64. Gameplay is on the easy side, but the levels are still a blast to play through. There are lots of varied environments and things to see, with no dull moments in sight. A fitting memorable soundtrack adds to the experience. Plus, Donkey Kong Country revitalized one of Nintendo's dormant characters, taking him from a pixelated barrel-throwing ape to a rendered, barrel-throwing ape with attitude.
The character selection is adequate, but really opens up once you play through the single player. All the characters have multiple skins to choose from and if you beat the game, you can unlock the four boss character to use in multiplayer. The final boss, Tal'Set, has the ability to carry every weapon in the game, which is very nifty but can be a hassle when trying to find the weapon you're looking for because they cycle through at random. You can even play as a raptor or other animal species that have special high damage attacks to compensate for not being able to carry weapons. The game also has an award system, similar to Xbox 360 acheivements or PS3 trophies, that rewards you with medals for various accomplishments such as 10,000 kills or 25 kills in 10 minutes. It serves no purpose, but it's neat to browse through and see what medals you've won after playing for a while.
4097 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half life isn't a game, it's a way of life. The most involving and enjoyable game ever produced for the PC it pulls you into the world of Gordon Freeman and his escape from the Black Mesa Research Facility.
3806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Killer graphics! Super internet play! This is twice what Mechwarrior2 was Mechwarrior. If you must buy this please get the expanion game also you will not be disappointed. This game jams up my wife's computer and her internet service so much they kick me off. This game makes me wish I had a sdsl modem line. THIS GAME REALLY KICKS........!
Highly recommended game; it fuels the senses! If you like James Bond, or any type of video game, get it! Mostly all of you have.
8254 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 What a disgrace to Marvel. Neither Spidey nor the X-Men come out of this with integrity left. It's seriously one of the worst games I have ever played on the Genesis. Terrible graphics, worse gameplay and awful music. Don't be like me and assume that it must be good because Spidey is involved. I guess I should have researched it first coz it seriously is a bad, bad game. It is sort of a cross between a side-scrolling beat-em-up and a run-and-gun game, but succeeds at neither.
3265 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played RE2 and loved it but Code Veronica for Dreamcast was everything that was great about the series and completely perfected it.
DY357 LX Magnum: This gun is not available in Single Player, but it is the weapon of choice of the fictional NRA head Trent Easton. Very similar to the DY537 standard issue magnum in looks but it can kill in only one shot.
9947 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 About ten years ago when Terminator 2 was a blockbuster smash hit at the movies, Midway released a light gun shooter in arcades, later on it made it's way to 16-bit home systems. Terminator 2: The Arcade Game is still as fun as it was all those years ago, I still own it and play it now and then and still get a kick out of it. You get to blast away hordes of Terminator endoskeletons in the first few levels as you play as a resistance fighter in the future, than you get to play as the T-800 in the present where you get to protect the young John Connor, destroy all of Cyberdyne Systems, and eventually face off with the T-1000. All in all, if you still own this game hold onto it, it is still as fun as it was yesterday, and is a better game than the recently released Terminator: Dawn of Fate.
The game challenges your capabilities as a good builder and administrator. You have to supervise the affairs of the city and its citizens. You have full freedom to make decisions on the local, financial and military issues of the city to make it a prosperous one, but at your own risk coz if you fail to do so you are apt to suffer the Emperor's wrath.
The hardware requirements are fairly steep to enjoy the eye-candy at it's fullest. Although the minimum requirements call for a 450 MHz P3 or AMD processor, 96 MBs of RAM and a 16 MB video card, a more realistic requirement is a processor near to or above 1 GHz; a higher-end video card with 32 MBs of memory and above (this is the game that the GeForce 3 was made for!) and 256 MBs of RAM.
3195 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game one of the best for DreamCast especially if you like fighting games. If your just picking up a dreamcast and looking at games and own the later soul caliburs (SC2-4 are out at the time of this review) you will in my oppinion still find this game enjoyable its fell is much the same as SC2. Though I personaly enjoy this SC over SC2.
Do you really think those poorly animated mechanical blue tektite spiders in the water dungon are worthy of a Zelda game? Seriously? Their animations are so stiff due to the Nintendo 64's limitations as a console that it's unbearable to deal with them and laughable at the way they lunge towards Link. But even then, *most* dungeon enemies fall way short of acceptable. Big Skulltula is a laughably bland attempt at being dangerous- it's more like a nuisance when one of these comes down out of nowhere while you're running around. The spikes that roll around are incredibly basic and uninteresting. Somehow *all* the enemies manage to never once be memorable. Ever! Ocarina of Time has dated horrendously, seriously. Wolfos are unintetionally funny with their choppy movements and the dated howling sounds they make, Red Bubble is basically the same thing as Big Skulltula but on fire, and Gibdos are boring. The ReDead's let out a hilarious scream that freezes Link in place which is inconvenient when you're trying to get up the ladder right in front of you and even more inconvenient when you're stuck in a room with two of them. Mummies are poorly designed since all you have to do is hookshot them, run behind them, and slice them with your sword. To be fair, some enemies are cool such as Deku Baba where it's best to snap its vine with the sword for an instant kill- creatively well done there. The Deku Scrub where you can block or sword swipe its shooting seeds with the shield and ricochet the seeds back at them is neat. And the Lizalfos and Dinalfos basically serve as mini bosses due to being somewhat harder and more sophisticated than the other ordinary enemies.
Rest in peace.
4. Simple linear story. There are about 20 quests altogether and most are obligatory for advancing the game.
This a beautiful game to look at, and it has great gameplay and amazing graphics. But if anyone decides to play this game, I highly recommend you use a walkthrough. I like this game a lot, and I was happy to have finished it.
But you have to give a lot of credit to all the people that brought this game to the Playstation- they set out to make the ultimate psychological horror experience, and they succeeded. It was groundbreaking at the time because no other game company at the time dared to attempt to turn up the amount of horror that this game offered. It was revolutionary in the world of video games. With all due respect to Capcom and the Resident Evil series... those games are fantastic and a lot of fun, but Silent Hill made the amount of fear so high that many gamers are afraid to not only play it, but even THINK about it.
1386 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Even when it first came out I tried out this game but could not get into it and I hate the n64 old style 3d graphics where the camera angle ends up getting you killed every five seconds, espessially in pits. Of all the Mario games to date including the amazing Wii titles except for Super Mario Wii this has to be the worst Mario game for me since Mario Nes. The graphics are terrible, the music is annoying and it's just boaring.
Please remember, limit yourself to this game. Its very, very time consuming. Its the kind of game where you start playing at 1:00 and the next minute you look at the clock, 3:00?? An hour or two on a free day. Take my word, don't waste your life too much with this game.
4519 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game can be described in a few simple words, boring, repeaditive, bad, pointless.
2. The levels are shorter,two levels instead of three levels,its too long with three levels.
3805 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really liked this game. I played pen & pencil Dungeons & Dragons for years, so I have an appreciation of the dungeon-master concept behind this game. Dungeon Keeper 2 is a blend of real-time strategy, base-building, and sim-developing, but the real treat is being able to play as naughty as you want--and be rewarded for it! There are a few things that I would change about DK2, but overall, I found it quite enjoyable, even years after its initial release.
My gripe is while this game is really good (i mean i'm a big-time Mario fan from the first mario game), it's only as good as it lasts. I found it hard to go back to this game after a while- cause it was like having discovered everything and it made it hard to play through the whole thing again.

6491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There's a reason these games are celebrating 30 years! I've only got into the 1st game but had played the second before. Love the characters the gameplay is easy to follow and the storyline grabs you. A must for any ff fan!
For the game itself I will give a 4 star because it is still a fun game to play with your friends but because of the awful loading and wait time I give WWF Attitude a zero. ...
Don't buy if,
Tails - More or less like Sonic's gameplay except he has to race Sonic (later, Eggman, in Speed Highway) in each level. It's not as bad as it may sound, because it only just keeps the pace going, which is great, and don't you think it's kind of exciting to find shortcuts when flying?
But the core of the game stays the same, no matter how many moves you learn or different worlds you visit. The main objects to collect are jiggies, which are basically pieces of jigsaw puzzles that, when put together, open the door to a new world. Ten of these can be found in each level along with 100 notes, which open up doors to new areas of the lair. Unfortunately the game's note total is merely a combined high score of how many notes you collect in each level; each time you re-enter a world the note count restarts. This is pretty annoying sometimes, and it would have been nice to just keep all the notes so you don't have to recollect all of them again to advance your total note count. Thankfully the jiggies are extremely well-balanced as far as how hard they are to get; in the first world most of them are sitting on the ground like Easter eggs, but as you progress through the game you have to work much harder to earn your way to more worlds.
4418 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's VERY disappointing to me personally that people insist on moving forward when it comes to video games and quickly putting the gaming consoles of the past behind them forever.
5034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just revisited this game because I had such good memories of it. The variety of game types, the variety of weapons, the beauty of the maps, and the bot AI makes it the ultimate competitive FPS. It's all about the Tournament. And there are so many different kinds of tournament games to play, against real people or bots.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Fun: 8/10
You start off in a training area. You watch a video of Duke being briefed by his lieutenant or something, then he receives a message from himself in the past telling him that the time lines are about to get messed up. Once all that's done, you exit the room and either go left to train, or just keep going forward to go to the first mission. Along the way you go through time. The first couple of levels are the present day, with a cool looking statue of liberty. Then you go back in time to the old west. And it looks awesome, Duke becomes a cowboy and blasts alien scum bags away showing them what the wild-wild west was all about. (in a fictional sort of way) Then he goes through to Victorian times and even faces off against Jack The Ripper. And there is more and more. You face off against all kinds of aliens, zombies, monsters and things.
I didn't give it 5 stars because, quite franky, they could have done better. I mean X1 and X2 were much better so it shows that they have to be able to do better.

4098 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You're probably thinking: another simulation game on the market, I won't even bother. However, you are wrong if that is your opinion! This is a great game and you will play it so much you probably will lose sleep!!

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
6407 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings is interactive game corresponding to the Medevil times when the powerful Roman Empirer Fell, and the world is up for grabs. Microsoft did all out job putting this game together. It has wonderful graphics and it doesn't take much space in your computer. I shouldn't be talking I have an Windows XP but it can prform on even the oldest computers. It has William Wallace, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Saladin, and Barbarossa all historic war leaders of that time, and you can control some of the most powerful civilizations like the Franks the Japanese, Byzantines, Vikings, Mongols, Celts, and more. You can choses your own destiny. You can be a little Napoleon. Will you be a hungry war monster? Remember this the best simulation of the medievil times.
Still, not that bad. A good game for D&D fans!
All in all, this game is tremendous fun, and for an origianal Playstation game, it's graphics are state-of-the-art. This is a must have game and so are all of his others.
It really bothers me how ALL of the developers who release fighting games assume the player is automatically completely aware how to play the game. They assume this *every single time* they release a fighting game. Developers assume everyone who plays these kind of games will be able to understand them instantly. We're supposed to be gifted players when it comes to understanding how to successfully pull off any number of lengthy and devestating combos to our opponents. We're supposed to have enough time to press really awkward button combinations on the Playstation controller during a fast-paced and intense fighting match. Not just combos either- regular moves too. We're supposed to have enough patience to continue trying the same fight over and over as we die a million times and the frustration factor increases significantly, and we realize just how IMPOSSIBLE these kind of games are.
Sure, you have guns that can zoom in on a target, but to use THESE guns you have to get into a special position (which changes the angle of the camera). By the time you get into that position the guard will have already killed you because it takes a few seconds to get into that position, and believe me, you don't have a SECOND to waste once a guard spots you. I want a gun that features a QUICK lock-on target (such as a gun with high amounts of firepower and frequently-available ammo packs). That way it won't feel hopeless when a million guards are after me.
Also, the story, while good, is poorly executed. It basically boils down to a meteor poisoning the planet's "health" - very simple concept - but the writer dances around & adds un-necessary complication. He takes 2+2 = 4 and turns it into 1-5+4-6+2-1+7-2 = 4. That's why so many gamers go, "Huh? What just happened?" It was a good story, but a lousy script.
532 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought id reviewed already, but here goes. Not your typical ninja game, as most are stealth, this one is more the action side of things, tons of weapons, some special powers, projectiles, and level kind of puzzles. Think ol school brawlers (final fight) meets 3D as a ninja. Cool art to be seen but not cool enough to forget it takes awhile to load as you look at it (load screen). Fast paced and fun, easy controls and cool lvl design. One other thing is graphics, moderate maybe for ps1, but just bad by todays standards when some ps1's still hold up better. But that is overlookable as it doesn't hinder gameplay, and is so much fun to play, your just a bad azz ninja. In short bad grfx, long loads, but still so worth being this ninja.
kill ratio. Not bad. It also made more aces than any other allied single-engine fighter plane.
The levels vary from ground bound puzzle solving through eerie grimstone mines to aerial dogfights with other dragons while avoiding Greek-fire equipped ballista. At her disposal Rynn can find a never ending supply of weapons from mundane swords, maces, hammers and bows to enchanted weapons like flametongue & frotsbrand swords, magical bows and arrows, and her ultimate goal, the Runeblade, an artifact level great sword used in the last great war. And while the weapons have a finite life span, meaning they can only be used so many times before they break, the supply of weapons is vast and one needn't worry about running out of powerful magic weapons.
4. Even more excusably, there's not way to pause the cutscenes. You can't even pause the codec dialogues!
9743 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its a game about a sentient tank that couldn't be any more of a wise ass if it tried. Whats to dislike?
3960 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own House of the Dead on the Sega Saturn (not to mention the third one for XBox) and this sequel proved to be worth the wait (for me). This game lined up with Jet Grind Radio, Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 in my great Dreamcast collection, and those are the best games in my Dreamcast collection. I read the reviews before buying it, though, and I noticed that quite a few people were mentioning how crappy the game was without the light gun. So I bought the light gun for my Dreamcast, just for this game, and it is WORTH IT! The graphics are awesome, just like the others, even though the voice acting is one of the worst I've heard in a video game. I haven't tried the game with the controller, I've only spent my times playing with the gun, so read other peoples' reviews if you want to get the idea. The save-the-hostages thing is also really cool-I still haven't completed the game with rescuing all of the hostages (argh! so frustrating!), but you can easily set your game to Easy, Medium or Hard. It's much better than the first one, you can tell, from the graphics to the game play and right down to the light gun compatibility, House of the Dead 2 has it all!
561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Twisted metal is a great game!
2693 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The seller I bought it from sold it to me with brand-new conditions, but what else can I say, it's a black controller that suits me well.
What has Blizzard not improved? Well, for one thing, the gameplay is as repetitive as ever. Click Click Click Click Click Click... It never ends! You wade through monster after monster after monster after monster after monster... see how annoying it can be?
Deeply disappointed at the lack of a non-linear open-world environment. But its the restrictive QTE gameplay and final-kill cut-scenes that kill the game for me. I loath enforced QTE. When a mission goes awry and you're trying to escape a hail of bullets, if you happen to brush past an assailant you can't escape QTE mode. Meanwhile you're being shot at from all sides. It just lacks the sense of freedom that Blood Money had, and it takes you out of the whole gaming experience placing you instead into a second-rate interactive movie.
The levels are probably the other aspect of this game that make it so enjoyable. I realize I kinda vaguely summed them up, but if you have played the game then you already have an idea of what I am talking about. In the first level, you fight the stage boss in the rain outside of a bar. The rain fall animation is very well done. Also, on the boat level, there is a very nice "listing" feel to the level as it slowly cascades slightly up and down in motion with the sea. This could have been very annoying, but is actually perfectly executed. The baseball stadium level has my favorite music (the song is somewhat similar to Seal's "Crazy") and the way the empty stands in the foreground scroll as your character moves is very nicely done. Finally, the amusement park's level has an alien house with a beautiful fog effect on the ground. These might seem like simple techniques, but back during the early days of 16-bit games, to see so many unique approaches to level design, background, and effects was very exciting.

2631 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had the teal game boy color for the longest time and loved it to peices but I gave it to my cousins so oh well I'm getting a new game boy color in purple this time either way the game boy color is excellent the double aa bateries in the game boy color can last for the longest time ever trust me on this I know that for a fact that they can really last long my one cousin was playing my game boy color around christmas time about six years ago and we stayed up until 12:00 midnight playing totally angelica on the game boy color. if your buying a game boy color you won't be disappointed it exactly like the game boy advance sp only with out the screen light that's the only bad thing is that you have to by a light for it.
1591 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I don't get why so many people rate this a high game. There's nothing special about it at all. I got this game awhile back and thought it was pretty lame so the game went into retirement, until I decided to pull it out for the first time in many many years and play it and my thoughts remain the same.
5152 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For metal gear solid fans this is how. Metal gear solid started getting popular worth the money played this game when I was a kid
The controls for the most part remain the same as in the first game, as do the menu options. You still have to backtrack often to "item boxes" to store items you can't hold in your limited inventory menu. This grows tedious, but oh well. I did find that the controls are a bit more responsive this time around. The characters have plenty of differentiation in gameplay, such as how Leon starts with the lighter, whereas Claire can open locks. Plus, both feature different weapon arsenals, so there are plenty of guns.
8278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was ok.
Trainers can be found everywhere, good and bad, from Team Rocket invading the radio station, to the gyms, in the water, on the road, and pretty much anywhere you go. Random Pokmon appear and battle you if you are in a cave, tall grass, or in the water. The wild Pokmon you come across are the ones that you can catch if you have Pokballs with you. Items such as the bike and repel can help prevent you from running into too many Pokmon if you are trying to get somewhere. If your Pokmon are tired or injured, you can stop at a Pokmon center and heal them for free! You can also store Pokmon via a computer terminal located within every Pokmon Center.
After you complete a stage, you can always go back to it and the computer will then give you a new option to complete the level in a certain amount of time. Finishing the stage in a certain amount of time is actually quite hard. It means you *really* have to take off running and not stop for a single moment to smash a box or spin-attack an enemy or ANYTHING. It means you have to run run RUN! Just so you know, completing the stages under a certain time is NOT a requirement. It's entirely up to you if you'd like to accept the challenge. I'm too much of a wimp to accept it, personally.
Metric: 75 mm x 27 mm x 133 mm
Usual high standard in terms of the graphics and sound. The alien noises/voices still make me jumpy when you can hear 'em, but they're hiding somewhere (those Shocktroopers sound just like Daleks too!)
9904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's possible to love old and new things equally. I love this game.
You won't be dissappointed.
5872 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good RPG.There are so many terrible reviews to this game even I don't know how many there are. But one thing is certain,this is a good RPG.
6558 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 FFV features a lone traveller, a princess in search of her father, an amnesiac old man, and a pirate captain, all of whom are called forth to defend the world from the destruction of the crystals of water, wind, fire and earth. The biggest feature in this game is the job system-you can customize your character's job through gaining experience in each field. For instance, I have a monk trained with the Knight's "Cover" technique, and a mage trained equally high in both white and black magic. While complaints that the story is transparent and childish do not go unfounded, the gameplay itself is entertaining enough to make up for that.
Once booting it up, the game already seems promising. The title screen, Konami logo, etc, all has rich detail and the title's music is no disappointment. Then, once pressing Start, you get to see an awesomely funny intro cutscene! The scene shows Pinky and the Brain steal a movie script from Warner Bros. studios. What do ya know? Humor's easily shown! And then there's the Warners themselves making their appearances. They are told about the evil plot going on, and that the message will self-destruct in 1 second (Ha!).
3) Controls are sometimes difficult
peace
You can change into different clothes which actually is important in helping you progress through the game. It's not a normal style of gameplay, but an interesting one to say the least.
938 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I must admit: This game hasn't aged too well; the N64 was well known for having the cleanest looking polygons. Despite this, this game isn't lacking in pure fun and its one of the best multiplayer experiences on the system.
Twisted Metal (2012 for PS3)=Didnt play this one but heard it was good
Shaq Fu was one of those gaming horrors of the 90's that should have never been, just like his awful, awful movie career.
642 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always been a FF fan ever since 2 was out. I've been loving it ever since and was glad that i played this. Let me tell you about the game:As you have probably found out from other reviews, it is about a rebel orginization named AVALANCHE who is saving the planet from Shinra Inc., who is polluting the Earth. One of these members is a man named Cloud, a 21 year old guy who was in a orginazation called Soldier, which is the army of Shinra. Possibly the greatest plot and climax I've ever seen. Great battles, they proved to be a challenge. Cloud, Sid, and Red 13 are my favorite charecters. Also some of the best movies in a game that i've seen for a long time. Espeically the 11 minute ending. Man that was good. ENJOY!
GOOD:
The theatre mode is funny too - watching all the short videos on each character - my favourites were Xiaoquai (spelling?) 0 JERK!, that tree guy (can't remember his name), Bryan and Jin.
All the power ups like the Ring monitor, Invincibility monitor, Shield monitor, and Extra Life monitor are in this game. The rules about collecting rings in Sonic 1 carry over into Sonic 2.
545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game works great. no problems after several sittings. Fun game and worked great what is not to like. Came in the mail fast.
6446 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit, the original game didn't really impress me all that much. So I wasn't holding out very high hopes for the sequel. So you can imagine my stunned surprise when I found out that Age of Empires 2 (AOE2) was a surprisingly good game.
This is a great gamepad. Sooner or later in any PC gamer's life, if they've been trying to play with the mouse and keyboard alone, they will think of buying a joystick or gamepad. This is the one I bought long ago, and I'd pay double what they're asking now if mine ever broke. A basic, but very rugged and functional gamepad. A bargain at twice its price. Get one!
7498 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first first person shooter I ever played that used a mouse to aim, needless to say, it got me hooked to the genre.
6545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These release was the first time the US had a localized version of Final Fantasy V. Final Fantasy VI was and still is a masterpiece.
reproduces this games. The only diference is that ussing the dualshock controler makes it more dificult than ussing the controlers on the arcade machines.
2230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you NEED to play Donkey Kong 64 or Zelda: Majora's Mask and improve graphics, sound, etc. all at once, buy this masterpiece. You won't regret buying an OEM version. Sometimes, you even get the gray lever that helps you remove the Jumper Pack. 10/10
The name "tactics" definitely fits. I had two friends who also played and beat this game multiple times (it is worth a second go-around, no matter how long it takes) and no two players went about the same strategy. But with 18 character classes (each character can have a primary and secondary class), you have the variety to tailor the game to your unique strategy.
Revuman, Peace!
5946 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played Diablo 2 shortly after playing the first game and was immediately impressed by the improvements. (Note: I played Diablo 2 with the expansion, Lord of Destruction, installed, along with patch 1.10, both of which I highly recommend.) Not only was the expanded choice of characters refreshing, but the ways that you could customize the characters with the skill system was a vast improvement over the first game.
954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game this is the coolest game ever brings back great memories from my childhood playing this game it never gets old to play
This is A MUST-HAVE for your Genesis collection. If you are a Sega fan and don't own this game, I don't care what your reason is (unless you couldn't find it, which is somewhat understandable), you're wrong. Part of my childhood consists of this game. A Genesis gem and one of the finest the system ever produced.
4575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game HAS to be concidered as one of the best sporting games of all time. Yes, skateboarding is a sport and it will now be recognized even more as a sport because of this game. Great controls, great music, and challenging courses, what more is there to say? Sports fans and regular gamers alike will love this game! It might even be the best game ever made on the Playstation.
This game sucks.
3466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game 2 weeks after it came out,and was I impressed,the game had great features like bringing Jill Valentine back the RE games. This had good monsters like the zombies,dogs,likers and Nemisis. The only thing I did not like was how Nemisis kept stalking you 24 seven but other than that this was a very good game.
The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen on a Game Boy game, and the music is very upbeat and fun to listen to. To top it all off, the gameplay is thrilling. It's unlike what you've dealt with in other Nintendo classics like Mario. Not only do you run and jump, but you can eat enemies, and spit them out at others! Oh, and you can fly! There are also some cool gimmicks, like shooting fire after collecting SuperSpicey Curry for a short period of time, and being able to fly and shoot out puff clouds during one of the bosses, in a similar fashion to shooters like Gradius.
8249 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Doom---just the name alone makes you drool over your BFG 9000 and Shotgun. Direct from the PC to your SNES system Doom is a fun FPS on the SNES. With the used of the FX2 chip the graphics are not bad for it's time and the music is quite good. However there are some cons to the game...

6077 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works very well.
4222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, listen up. This is one of the best games ever made. There are 3 races, Terran (human), Protoss (advanced alien), Zerg (sacrifical alien). You choose your race and battle in an area where you will find crystals and gas. You must build up your army and FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!! It has great online play, the best of the best. If you like this game, I suggest you try WarCraft!
Music: 8.2/10
- great pre-rendered graphics
I cannot give the game five stars though. I had already played the likes of FFX and Xenosaga prior to playing this game. Their superior visuals and certainly the inclusion of voice-acting made the experience more enjoyable than FF7. In other words, I would have enjoyed FF7 if I had experienced the game prior to playing more recent RPGs.
4762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night harkens back to the early and great Castlevanias of the old NES, but with vastly updated graphics, gameplay, and even ambiance. Sure, it's still a 2-D scroller where you roam around and jump around on platforms and what not, but it's at the top of the heap. The game starts somewhat oddly with you as a vampire hunter facing off against Dracula in a fairly wacky fight that always reminds me of a pro wrestling match. You beat Dracula, at which point time warps ahead and you switch to Alucard, Dracula's remorseful son (spell Alucard backwards..yah, clever) who brings the fight to Dracula's vast and labyrinthe castle in an effort to do away with his evil sire for all time. At first I was put off by what I thought was a bizarre and inelegant introduction (the human vampire hunter is a character from one of the mediocre middle Castlevania games, and is very unwieldy) but it turns out the manner in which you use him to defeat Dracula "historically" in the plot affects Alucard's starting abilities. Meaning if you beat up on Drakula with magic, Alucard later favors magic. Ditto for melee combat.
3357 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil with Dinosaurs? Yes! and Yes Please!!!!!! The dark atmosphere and ever present threat of dino attacks make this game a pure adrenaline rush. Though the layout is crazy confusing, i cant stress that enough. But this is a classic survival horror in the vein of RE.Definately worth owning.
It sounds pretty good. As mentioned before, the voice acting is some of the best in the industry. Many of the tunes are quite catchy (particularly the world map and battle themes). They're short tracks, though, so they loop real soon, which makes much of the music quite repetitive. In the long run, though, you're getting quite a bit.
You would think a game created in 1999 would seem blocky and old after only a year or two. Quite the contrary. The gameplay, immersion in detail, and strategic fun in Age of Empires II makes it into a game that I envision will be playable and fun for years to come.
By The Way: I have a Soundblaster live sound card, a Voodoo 3 card and the game ran fine with absolutely no problems. Update your drivers people!.
Rayman was and still remains one of the greatest titles in gaming history, so if your intrested definetly pick up Rayman!
746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Brings back memories of days long gone by. As i've turned from kid to teen, from teen to young adult and some day to old man, the nostalgia and memory of my childhood in the '90s becomes ever more appealing to me. Back in the days of summer vacations, weekends off, few worries and fewer obligations and responsibilities.
Great plot. Developed slow, but it was worth it.
BUY IT.
And maybe my memory is short, but they are the same games as they were the first time around. You might find better translations. There are a couple of cinematics. However, all in all, you'll find the same beloved classics.
And the game environment is solid. A very well done and/or tested. I don't recall ever finding anything that was glitchy.
1998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How could you not love this game, the animals talk! There are so many great lines from this game that I don't really care about anythingelse except being able to hear "don't party just yet, time to try our new weapon." I just love this game, it can be as hard as you want it to be so stop saying it's easy. Anyways, this game was put out 8 years ago and still every once and a while I decide to play this and I love it, cuase it has the talking animals on it. I'm going to repeat this TALKING ANIMALS! Slippy gets on my nerves though I just kill him becuase he always gets some guy on his ass and keeps bleating "get this guy off my fox!" I wanna crack his skull everytime he says that it pisses me off. Then theres that stupid chick that knows Falco (the bad ass of course) and she is annoying, I wish I could kill her becuase when you go to the Z zone she steals your kills so you can't get the freaking medal I HATE HER! It is so annoying that she steals your kills! Oh that has to be the worst part of the game, it's woefully madening. Also to not are the apes who try to kill you, though they make the noble animal of the ape villanious they still have memoriable lines like "ANDROSS I'VE FAILED YOU!!!" Then there is team wolf, they are tottaly bad! They are pretty hard to kill on the other side of venom but like I said if you got the skills you may one day beat them (and you say this game is too easy! OH MY GOSH!). Anyways I do like the bunny guy what's his name? I forgot but he's like "Your the best Slippy." and that makes me want to cry becuase they are always so hard on Slippy! I love it that they actually give him love in Aquos cuase I've heard the stories, poor Slippy. Anyways Fox is a stud of course, damn he is looking good! He works hard of course, cuase I'm controlling him. Anyways the best characters are the bosses cuase they say stuff to you that's funny like that one boss "admits defeat" but then comes back after you cuase he was lying, what did you think you'd get off that easy! HECK NO! Anyways I hope you love this game as much as I do, becuase I say those lines everyday before I go to sleep, cause it bring hope. Especially when the Bunny guy affectionatly tells Fox "your becoming more like your father." Fox's father was a pimp too! That's the ultimate compliment in the Lylat system! I'm sure Fox shed a tear when he heard that from his bunny partner. I'm out, only a loser doesn't like this game cuase he is a nerd with no sense of humor who wants to play a "real" flight simulator. YEAH!

The only downside is that people can make super silly doomsday weapons that can be build in seconds. Just watch out for those and TA will be one hell of an experience.
You can also play the game on-line. While playing the multi-player mode via the Internet has precious little to do w/the actual CD game, it is addictive nonetheless. Some scenarios are free-for-alls where you run around picking up weapons & shooting at anything (and everything) that moves. Other websites let you play on teams; it's capture-the-flag with hand grenades & flame throwers (my favorite!).
Cons: Some mage scenes in combat can take a few seconds to finish, easy to over look. ~sometimes~ Will lock up after a fight. This is very rare but can be a pain. The grapics are alittle old style, but nothing to really complain about.
5950 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overall Diablo II is a very fun, immersing game. What it lacks in terms of a story is made up by the fantastic gameplay, great sound effects, and above average graphics.
MK is the best head to head fighter on the N64 in this realm.
1397 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first saw Super Mario 64 in 1996 I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. While 10 years have passed, I still consider this game of the finest pieces of entertainment I have ever seen. The kinds of things that the development team pulled off in the mid 90s set the stage for all future video game development and it was, is and always will be groundbreaking.
***The only down side was the box all my stuff came in was really beat up and no packing at all. Looked like it was all thrown in the box. If someone was to drop it im sure the dreamcast would have broke. I may have got very lucky.***

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
6249 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game came out in 1999. It has, by far, the very best WRITING of any computer game. At one point in the game, the writers use Milton's "Paradise Lost" to advance the plot.
Amy - She isn't as fast as the above 3 characters, but she still isn't a bad pick. Although having the same robot chase her throughout levels is a little cringe-inducing, Amy plays pretty well, as she can attack with her massive hammer.
back the 1,000,000 zenny. This game is also funny at times. Plus,this game value of replay is great. It allows you to do lots of stuff with the Servbots too. You can train them,you can use them to fight,you can gain adjustments from them,you can even punish them when they get lazy! So I'll say this review in three words:This is excellent!
But this game is awesome...
This is a classic in every sense of the word.
2385 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let us be honest with ourselves. This is an old game. And yet it rocks most hard, say thankee. It's also highly addictive.
In addition to the fighting games, though, the Dreamcast offered a library of games that seemed geared more towards quality and playability than mass-marketability. Space shooters like Mars Matrix and hard-to-categorize games like Shenmue set the system apart from others. It's just too bad Sega had to give up on the Dreamcast, and will most likely never make another console again.
4865 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The graphics are stunning in this cool game from GT Interactive. Always wanted to put the pedal to the medal and run from the cops? Now you can! Some of the missions will keep you on the edge of your car and the replaybility is very good. Get this game!
Expendables
In this day in age, it's not that hard to take first person shooters for granted. They're EVERYWHERE in every shape and form on every system, literally clones of clones in a sense. What's even harder now is spotting the true gems that stand out within the genre. However, back in 1993 the FPS was unheard of commercially, and as difficult as it is to believe, the genre was a major revolution to gaming. Out of nowhere, the company iD Software showed up and introduced Wolfenstein 3D, the first real FPS. While it does stand as a gaming milestone of the early 90s, it didn't quite take off in the public. What did succeed however was their next project, which consisted of heavy weaponry, lengthy levels, demon slaughtering, BFG 9000s, and key collecting: the legendary Doom.
- Different and interesting story for a fighter
Go out nd' try to find this classic....
I don't know what I can recommend instead of this one, but I would say rent it or get it for cheap like $5 or less used or new. She tomb raids for too long with little payoff.
- Moves just become repeated and it gets boring. Every charactor feels about the same to control.
good soundtrack
9446 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. Received in timely manner, works as advertised.
The only thing that annoyed me was Navi, a little fairy that travels with Link throughout the game. She is always bugging you to give you painfully obvious information. I suppose she is a helpful guide for younger or more inexperienced players, but I found her annoying. But once you come to realize that Navi is an important aspect of the game's control, you will let it slide.
The graphics and sound are both very good. The only problem is sometimes I have difficulties picking up items off the ground, especially if they are hidden behind the leaves of a tree. Also, sometimes you will get stuck behind a rock or the edge of a fence line and it takes a bit to get unstuck, but you never remain there forever.
I don't know what else to say. I love this game. Oh yeah, the music and sound effects! The music is like listening to a suspenseful, realistic war movie. It's really good. The sound effects are awesome as well because each soldier you encounter has something interesting and different to say. You will be amazed at how many new lines these soliders can come up with! You will hear the sound of silence while walking around in the dark, along with the sound of distant gunshots and other creepy sounds. All this adds up to a disturbingly, realistic wartime experience.
Well, instead of having a Super Mario and a Mario like in past Mario games, Mario has 8 life bars. Hitting certain enemies would make him lose 2 life bars, as well falling from semi-high heights. Burning Mario's butt will make him lose 3. Certain other enemies and falling from really high heights will make him lose 4. But don't worry. Coins and water will replenish your health. If you lose all 8 or fall down a pit, you lose a life. But for every 50 coins you get with a star and every 1-Up Mushrooms, you get a life.
Harvest Moon 64 was perhaps the Nintendo 64 game with the largest amount of possible character interaction until Nintendo released Animal Forest in late 2001. There are *counts* *gives up* over 30 people in that little town, and you can speak to all of them. Some of the people are not very fun to talk to, but others provide you with some hearty conversations and long-lasting friendships, especially the five available ladies. Oh yeah. My favorites are Anne and Elli. Ahem...although Harvest Moon 64 has that dating sim aspect, the actual process of winning their hearts is a bit confusing. Perhaps I just don't understand it. Other activities fill the year, such as festivals and horse/dog races. They break the monotony and offer some welcomed changes to the gameplay. Of course, you can add to the monotony during the races by spending time betting max coins for each entry, but I guess that's your choice. The gameplay here is pretty open-ended. It's just that the days pass so fast. Even though your character looks like he should be in middle school, it is possible for you to start a family. It's too bad your son will always stay a mooch. While the monotonous gameplay would seem soporific give it a try anyways. If you're good, then you'd most likely enjoy this game. Not only that, it would also be fun to watch. That's right. It is in fact FUN to watch somebody that is good.
8882 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without a doubt this is one of the greatest games of all time, and one of the greatest snes games PERIOD! The hype is much deserved and this game is addicting and fun. It was one of the first video games to take on a non-linear style and use heavy exploration to gain powerups. The result is a game which will be both tedious and amazingly fun! I cannot recommend this game highly enough to you fellow review reader! The bosses are amazing and the graphics are superior! it SHOWS JUST HOW GOURGEOUS 16-bit can be! The replay value is amazing, and you will always have the joy of beating it faster the more you play it. This game made the speed run what it is today! BUY IT NOW! 10/10
Zangief,War Machine, Ryu(Akuma) and Jin. But the best player to use for combos would have to be Strider, if you know how to use him he could possibly be the deadliest character in the game. Heres a little secret, once you have beaten the comp or your friend when right after it says KO and the stats appear press START and then you will be able to move around and attack your opponents dead body. But I seriously think you should see your doctor first before playing this because the flashes in this game are extreme, the specials make the screen flash in many different ways that can make one have a seizure or get dizzy. But this game is a milestone in fighting game history!
4- Loading scenes: In baldurs 2 and icewind dale, loading times are reduced. Also in baldurs2, most of the time, entering a house does not need a load. Torment uses the unmodified version of the bioware engine and every time the environment changes, it loads from the cd. You may reduce the loading time by doing a full install, but there isn't an option for it in the installation screen. You have to manually copy some files from the cd s and do some editing in ini files. Go and check the black isle web site for that.
It will be interesting to see if any game will ever be able to match its popularity. My money is on Valve's next game, Team Fortress 2.
Something that doesn't always play in your favor is the gravity for Mario. He can jump high if standing in one spot and moves very far very fast when running. But when you try to run and jump he gets this "heavy feeling" and sometimes doesn't make it where you want him to. This "heavy feeling" is well noticed when he falls and it can make platform landing difficult in certain levels that are basically an open pit with floating islands. Still, I wouldn't not recommend this game to anyone looking for a classic and on-the-go game to play. It gets a 9 out of 10 in my book!
boredom of hours of droning engines--it lulled the crew, so that when the action suddenly started when a Bf-109 or FW-190 or (God help us!) an ME-162
I find that the characters are somewhat unbalanced for game play. I can't really decide if this is good or bad. It is clear that one character will certainly stand out as the best for player to player combat, not good. As well as another character will become the best for single player games and another will be the best for "grouping." I do like the "unique" spells and abilities of each character. But is all this better than the "vanilla" characters of Diablo I? It certainly is, but by how much I'm not too certain.
6613 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know everyone seems to be getting into the rehashing and rereleasing of old games on new systems. Asteriods, Centipede, even Frogger have been updated. Well here are two games that haven't. They are the same as when they were released on the Super Nintendo or Super Famicom. Although they have been added to. Beautiful CG animations have been added to the beginning of both games. The only beef I have is that the characters in the CG look really, really pale. I mean ghostly pale. The music CD that they added was also very poorly planned. They slapped on music from FF5 and the beginning of the second disk of FF6's soundtrack. Why didn't they take the themes of the characters? Those were the good songs from FF6 not "The Magic House" or "Dark World." Now to do the games themselves. FF5: A solid game. Those players that played FF Tactics will find that there is a job system in this game as well (jobs originated in FF3 for those who care). After you find one of the four crystals you have the ability to have more jobs come availible to you. There are 21 different jobs to have from Ninja to Hunter to the trusty Red Mage. Some of the jobs are really good, others are really bad. They aren't very well balanced unfortunetly. As you fight battles you can Points, kinda like Job Points in Tactics. After you get enough you can a level in that job and get another ability related to that job. The music hasn't been updated at all. It is the original Super Nintendo MIDI sounds. I hate MIDI sounds. Especially when it sounds MIDI. The graphics are old school( they will remind you of the block backgrounds in the old RPGs. Gameplay is very good. The bosses are very challenging (although there are some that are pushovers). There are three worlds to explore as well. It's a fun game and will bring back a lot of nostalgia to those you remember Super Nintendo. FF6: The best of the Final Fantasies. Anyone who says any differently is a fool (I'm sorry if this offends anyone.) The music is absolutely beautiful. It may of come from a 16-bit system but it still is the best I've heard. In Final Fantasy 6 you must face the evil Empire who is bent on using magic to take over the world. It's your typical RPG from the Super Nintendo era. There are 12 characters plus two bonus characters that have their own unique abilities. It's kinda like the job system only without a lot of freedom in who learns what. Examples the thief Locke can steal, the Magic Soldier Celes can absorb magic and add the MP cost to her own MP. There are many branches and many plot twists. There also battles where you actually act out a military campaign. These are really hard though. Magic is learned through beings called Espers (the beginning of materia and GFs) and this could be cool but too many Espers have the same spells and too many only give you one and they are the only one that give you it. Example Crusader with Merton. Gameplay is standard Final Fantasy. No surprises there. All in all. Final Fantasy Anthology is a must have game for all SquareSoft fans. If you want to get on the RPG scene I also recommend this game. It isn't as hungup on graphics and all these special fetures like the newer games are. It is story and gameplay. The two most important things in an RPG. These are the games that will get you started on RPGs.
288 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good article, very good deal nice, very good price, item arrived on time, the packaging had an acceptable size
1750 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Compare this to super mario, crash bandicoot and dark souls, this game looks too easy and boring.
Fun-This game is a blast! The story, once you start to figure out what it is, is fun. I just thought it was a really fun game.
5298 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first heard of this game from my friend, I had the ususal reaction "A farming game? Right, sounds...um...great. Not" The first time I saw this game at my friend's house, my thoughts were along the lines of "Well its not as bad as it sounds, but still, its farming game for crying out loud!" Then I played it. From the first time that little guy ate his quick morning meal on that faithful Spring 3rd, I was hooked. It all started simple enough
AOEII is definetely an enjoyable game, instead of wasting $20 on Starcraft, spend it on this better game.
4787 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The storyline: Zork has been conquered by a failed former wizard with MDD (Magic Deficit Disorder). This Grand Inquisitioner (tyrant) is hand-in-glove with the Frobozz Electric Company, and is using force to replace all magic with Frobozz technology. The game takes you on a fantasy quest-adventure in the famous Underground Empire. Your mission: to restore magic to all of Zork.
9248 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. Every move is action packed. There are no puzzles which makes the game totally and i mean totally cool!!The language is a bit explicit and so are some scenes. But once you're in the groove of the game,there is no way out!!
Amazing graphics for it's time.
The main character controls like he's on ice skates.
Okay, so I promised an updated review and I intend to deliver. I never promised the update would be any good, but here goes:
Gameplay actually very closely resembles Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. You've got your power ups that unlike the first Super Mario Land can actually TELL you grabbed them. The Flower Power up and the Bunny Ears (only seen in this one) are nice. The Bunny Ears is like the leaf in SMB3. Except that Mario can't fly but they allow him to glide down to safety.
439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my family,s favorite fighting game. From my six year old daughter on up to my 10yr. old son they love this game. The graphics along with the sounds and moves are excellent also, there is a great character selection to choose from.
Unlike Nintendo's Tetris 1, you get to play against a friend. You can also face a computer player.
Once you manage to work your way past the massive amounts of bugs and get through the DRM, HOURS later you finally figure out that the game has no real tutorial, so you stuck just clicking around randomly.
4022 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game works fine but it came in a completely different case.
Overall this truely a classic game that deserves to be purchased. Unfortunatly when it was first released it like Tobal #1, Brave Fencer Mushashi, Parasite Eve and numerouse other games on the PSX it was given a Demo of game that was recieving a lot of Hype at the time, LEgacy of Kain SOul Reaver. So in the case people purchased the game (if they purchased it) just for the Demo of Soul Reaver so it was obviouse that there was not much faith in this. This is one of the most addicting and fun games available on the PSX.
3082 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok... This game is way way way too under-rated!!! What's wrong with everyone. I know the graphics are not as good as any later RPG games. But does that really matter that much?! he storyline is an absolute kick, too. I can't believe some people don't like it! Yeah, it might be a little confusing at first, but as you put yourself in the game, it really gets much better! The good thing about this game is that you can have many different choices and events going on everytime you play it. Choose different options the second time you play it and you can get different responses and items! I'm not gonna say this game is the best b/c everyone has different opinions, but this game is really a great RPG kick! And all you people who do not agree with me, try to stop comparing this game to all these other new RPGs and the later Final Fantasies that has like perfect graphics and other advanced techs. View this game as a whole new RPG that you have never heard or thought about, then maybe you will start to appreciate the beauty of it. This is really a great game, I will never regret buying this RPG!!!
7006 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I may not be as young as some of the players that wrote reviews here, but I played the original StarFox for SNES as a kid. At the time, the "FX" chip was marketing hype for some new 3D technology. Nonetheless, it has become a classic at my home. My dad was hooked on StarFox since the beginning!
Along with these, there are also more level settings, whether it would be the woods, the cold, the sewers, even the ruins. Remember when you rode the hog in the first game? Well, this time, you ride a polar bear cub instead.
7463 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 not the greatest game ever made, but still enjoyable and for the time it was so unique and fun being able to race on jet skies, graphics were good for when it was made also.
7266 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If you think a super hero game can never be too fast-pased, this could change your mind. Enemies come at you from every corner throughout the entire game, constantly trying to take you under. You'd swear you were in Detroit.
9509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is better then all of the John Madden 1 through 29 ( Smile ) or whatever number they are at. Is Madden's game so good, it only last one year, and then you trade it??
1093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although I like the SNES Zelda best, you really can't make a game better than this one. Sometimes a game is made that goes above and beyond 5 stars. This game is like that.
The obvious bad point was the voices, and voice acting. The main character, Jack, had almost no inflection in his voice no matter what he was talking about, or doing. I would have liked to have been able to turn his voice off, and have just read what was going on, it was so annoying at times. Plus, watching his mouth still move for a long time after he was finished talking was a true annoyance. I did get used to him after about an hour, but I wish they had found someone who could have showed just a little more emotion.
8997 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this is promo game by 7 UP from back when they had a mascot called the cool spot this is a terrible game never play this in fact don't every buy this unless your collector and you just want it in your collection lots of enemies and its hard to hit a lot of them and its difficult like most games back in the day when had only 3 lives to be a game and sometimes continues if you were lucky this is very terrible game it has good graphics for its time though and was a interesting mascot character game more interesting then that it has no ESRB rating because it got released before the ESRB existed
I had better identify my equipment so that you can judge my viewpoint. I have a 1.8 MHz Pentium 4 with a half-gig of RAM and my OS is Microsoft Windows ME.
8948 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great quality!
Sound: The music in the game is interesting with its tribal tunes. The roar and yelps of the dinos/apes sound outstanding.
The gamplay is simple. Navigate through each level with Yoshi to the end. There is no health or hit points - rather, if Yoshi gets damaged, Baby Mario, with an earscreeching cry, floats off in a bubble and you have approximately ten seconds to regain Mario. If you do not, several Magikoopas come and take Mario away and the player loses a life. If you collect starmen, enter Middle-Rings (which function as halfway markers for the level, much like the mid-level flags in later Mario titles) or use 10-Point Stars and 20-Point Stars, you can increase this timer to a maximum of thirty secons.
4104 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half Life is definately the best shooter game. Team Fortress classic is a great addon. I do not intend on explaining features e.t.c. This is just a great deal, if you don't have Half Life yet, definately buy this one.
Summary: IMO Ray and Greg are probably the primary reason why there is a great disturbance in the Force.
To top it al off, I think that Blizzard is really devoted to thier fans and customers, unlike some other greedy corporate shmucks. Blizzard has always been on top of thier games online, trying to make DiabloII un-hackable so players could enjouy it more. Little things like that show and buyers notice these things. I will not hesitate to give them my money for Warcraft3 or any of thier new games because they have a perfect track record with me so far. Check out DiabloII and the expansions for Starcraft and DiabloII. Youll never be ripped off by Blizzard.
3179 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are into Soul Caliber I highly recommend this game! It is the very first of the series and very fun to play!
Star Wars Shadows Of The Empire
Looking back on my teenager days where I was young, dumb, full of ***, and didn't know any better, I was easily manipulated into crap like this. So of course I would defend games that I didn't know anything about. Of course I would deny that I've been taken advantage of. And now we see the same types of teens that are doing this all over again. They'll read this review and say, "Oh how dare you talk that way about MK! Even thou I didn't grow up with it... bla, bla, bla." I doubt that any one of them ever played this game on a PS 1. They'd argue that they'd played it of off their iphone or somethin', and say it's the same thing. NO! By then, the bugs have been fixed and it's NOT THE SAME. YOU'RE PLAYING IT FROM A PHONE! It has to be from a P...S...1! Hell to them they'd considered it a retro game. They can't judge a game accurately that wasn't in their childhood. All they can do is look at it from a future point of view. As for us 80's babies, we grew up with this crap. It's only right that we judge it from OUR timeline, no one else's. And it's hard even to this day, to let go of something that, even thou I've been scammed by marketing-ploys by some cheap broken product, I grew up with them. But ultimately, you have to say to yourself, that I've been had and it's time to let go.
That's it. The 2 player mode is also great for those who are interested, and Omochao (a robotic chao) can colorfully guide you through the menus. This game is well thought, well planned, and well designed. There is even a zone for pinball fans in Casinopolis so this game has something for absolutely everyone. GET THIS GAME! Trust me, you will get hours of enjoyment from it.
All in all, this game is worth every penny you spend on it.
Pokemon Green version was only released in Japan, as Red and Blue became available worldwide. This is because Red and Blue had updated graphics, and they found that releasing Green alongside Red/Blue would be redundant (they are all basically the same game). For the most part, Blue version is the worldwide version of Green.
Um Jammer Lammy has great music, good gameplay (esp. if you like puzzle games, or music for that matter), imaginative controls and, and the whole game is a cool concept (come on, a guitar playing lamb-- it's never been done before). There are hardly any music games out on PSX (as far as I know, PaRappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy are the only ones, but I could be wrong). Overall, Um Jammer Lammy is a very fun game. If you're interested in a challenging game with catchy songs, a rock band made of up animals, bizarre scenarios, or just something different, then this is for you.
Clear Black (2000, Japan)
7984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Man I can't say enough about this game. Over a decade old and I find myself every now and then playing it again...sad really. But that's how fun it is. Though the graphics look like a cartoon, I could care less. The gameplay was so fun, the graphics were easily overlooked and back in 1992 you couldn't ask for the best graphics. 10 stars!! Still fun!
The Bigger Boo's Fort
Probably the worst thing about Vandal Hearts is that it is absolutely and perfectly linear. Unlike Shining Force, in Vandal Hearts you cannot replay any of the battles. You cannot egress at critical moments. There are no secret items or characters (save for the unimpressive hidden herbs and mushrooms you might accidentally find behind trees and under rocks). Vandal Hearts is an exercise in pure, unadulterated tactics, unspoiled by almost any semblance of role-playing. There are few types of weapons, and approximately two dozen of different sorts of items. Where this game succeeds is the selection of character classes and the number of possible strategies.
Magneto
It's very violent and gory which is why I love it.
The game takes a huge turn in Majoras Mask as young Link goes out with Epona from Hyrule. No Ganondorf's in this game, because it revolves around Majora's Mask, a mask stolen by this little imp from the Happy Mask Shop guy from OOT. You have three days to get the mask back, but you must keep going back using the Ocarina and the Song of Time.
Secondly, the sound is brought more into the front this time, with howls and screams of the monsters standing out more so than in the last game. It's especially noteworthy when something suddenly jumps through glass or breaks a wall. When this happens, you'll definitely jump out of your seat. As far as scares go, it'll certainly keep you on the edge until the end. Same thing with the musical score. Compared to the last game, the music is quite a bit more chilling and it seems to know just when something will come out after you. And most importantly, the voice acting is thankfully much better this time around. It's not perfect, but the dialogue and characters are very believable. For instance, Leon's character shows real determination, Claire is quite sympathetic yet assertive, and Chief Irons comes off as just plain creepy. These traits help distinguish the characters.
Cons - other characters in the party tend to act pretty stupid sometimes, walking in the walls,or not really helping much in the battles. The original "Masquerade" idea is a bit wrong, since the characters from different clans don't have their 'special' magic. The saving system is upsetting, the game saves automatically everytime you enter a new level. But the enemies\things don't re-appear when you re-enter the level. The gameplay is "point and click", no, not a quest. But you have to click for everything.
8152 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. The difficulty is hard though,but a little practice and you can master it with ease. For me it took about maby a month or so to beat the very last boss. Anyways,the animation is not the greatest but it still looks neat. The plot is great and it has a great background to hold up the plot. Your mavric enemys this time is very cool such as Magma Dragoon,Storm Owl,Slash Beast,Frost Walrus,Jet Stingray,etc.....This time you can be zero(who I always pick)If you ask me id tell you to be zero instead of mega man,even though mega man has more weapon capabilities. Zero is more supirior in speed and plus he has a close range weapon and I choose close range over all. Although zero may not be for a new player,zero is more for expierienced players. I sudjest that eather you train with mega man for a while or even better,just buy mega man x5 and train on that since its so easy. The last boss on that game would be as challenging as one of the simple mavrick hunters who guarded the secret weapons such as web spider,lol,seriously,that game is that easy but its perfect for practice to get better at these far more supirior mega man games. Note that each boss has a weakness to a certain weapon that you may carry,try em out!!Unfortunately Megaman x5's bosses are weak to every weapon that you have. So,pass up megaman x5,unless you need it to train to get ready to play this great and fun game.
There are 2 main characters (sometimes being replaced by another char) multiple endings,all of that depends on your actions and your walkthrough. So it makes more fun (scare:) to play it over and over again. The saving system is also good for that- you can save anytime and anywhere,trying out different things and watching the results.
4765 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game I've ever played on my computer. The only thing that I can see even comes close to eat is Age Of Empires II.
Less then a week to beat!
7712 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is good, came in working condition. I remember playing this as a kid when I was younger, it seemed much harder. The 1 player campaign is good so far, and builds off of Mario Party to have an actual story and campaign behind the solo player, which makes you want to keep playing.
8448 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 worked great. would buy from this seller again.
Bottom Line: METAL GEAR SOLID rocks
The courses are inventive and enjoyable.
Below i have included a list (in order) of my favorite Tomb Raider games:
Gameplay & Graphics: The animation of this game is some of the best you'll see for the SNES and is certainly worth noting when reviewing this game. For a game of its age the game is very crisp in its presentation and the gameplay is simple enough for anyone of ages 5 and above to easily grasp, yet don't let that fool you, for the levels of this game are complex enough to entertain seasoned gamers (or parents) who wish to look back at the classic days of gaming. It is a vast improvement over the original side-scrolling Mario adventure on the NES and offers hours of entertainment due to its high number of levels.
9660 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect. Minor cosmetic damage, but the came runs like new.
9376 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very very fun side scrolling action, great game.
Single-player mode of Perfect Dark
324 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works exactly as advertised. Bought these along with a 2-pack of controllers for the GameCube, as my TV is a ways away from my couch and i wanted to play multi-player with my wife. The controller plugs into the extension cable about as snugly as the controller (and the other end of the extension cable) plugs into the GameCube, which is to say plenty snug enough to keep it in while moving the controller and cable around semi-violently, but not snug enough to keep a controller attached after being thrown across the room (just an example). One major concern I did have when I bough these was the possibility of lag due to the signal from the controller having to travel farther. This concern was unwarranted, as I have noticed no difference in response time either way. On durability, I've had these for almost 2 years and they haven't shown any noticeable signs of wear. Throw in a reasonable price ($4 when I bought it from Amermedia in 2012) and this is a heck of a deal for people that need a product like this. I would recommend.
Like Super Mario World, Sonic The Hedgehog was an instant classic but in terms of originality and fun Sonic was even more revolutionary.
Luckily, my worst fear didn't come true (that Konami forgot to put music in the game) and you just have to move forward a few steps and battle a few more foes before the music kicks in. It's about time! You had me worried there!
1425 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I could knock a few stars off by going on and on about what they SHOULD have put into this game -a playable Princess, animal costumes, Fire Flowers, etc.- but such negativity could foolishly ruin such a great game. Super Mario 64 isn't perfect but it has the best damn gameplay of any action title. The worlds are massive with lots of vibrant colors, whacky enemies, catchy music, and most importantly, gameplay.
Change Outfits:
I'd say pick this one up, with a ten-dollar price tag, there isn't much of a reason not to!
2218 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great, just like any N64 expansion pak. Nothing much to really say about it. It's a good product and if you have an N64, you should definitely get one. Increases RAM from 4MB to 8MB which basically means better graphics and more visually appealing games.
graphics..for its time..5/5
1) It was a resource hog for the time it came out, which made my system drop out and glitch every now and then.
3609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This console would be even worth its money if it would cost two times as much as it does now. I love the Dreamcast! Why? I'll tell ya why:
Bottom line, THE ONE AND ONLY SEGA DREAMCAST RULES!! Please listen to me and all others who gave it a 4-5 star rating! I'D EVEN GIVE IT 10 IF IT WERE POSSIBLE!
I hope that this helped you out!
In the game you get to fly a ship and walk around in building's and valley's and so on.
7176 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are a myriad of other knockoff N64 controllers out there and all of them are worthless. The only one worth your money is the original and that's that.
8498 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of many that i am taking the liberty to review, that i have owned now for atleast five years. Vandal Hearts (VH) is a one of a kind game. Even though there is a second VH out, there is no link whatesoever in the two stories. If you get sucked into this story, don't expect anything after the end, because that's all your getting. That is really the only bad thing about this game, because everything else is great. I am now going to give you a low down on the game.
Yet so addictingly good.
3519 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is extream fun and entertainment, let alone being an awesome game itself. I felt once again like I was taking part in an adrenaline pumping movie once again, only this time, with more killing than ever before. To write this review, I will split the game into three sections: what was good, what was bad, and what made me really love this game.
1837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games, it's beautiful for its time very entertaining and fun, nice level design. Classic Spyro will always have a place in my heart.
Insanely difficult in parts, I still can't beat the water temple without the walk through.
ALL THE BEAUTY, TRUTH, MEANING, WONDER, SIGNIFICANCE AND INTEREST IN ALL THE WORLD ARE AS NOTHING ONCE YOU HAVE DISCOVERED THIS HIDDEN TREASURE. I FOR ONE WOULD TRADE ALL MY REMAINING DAYS FOR BUT ONE MORE MINUTE OF FINAL FANTASY VII INSPIRED PLEASURE, RATHER THAN BEING FORCED TO LIVE A HOLLOW, BITTER, JOYLESS EXISTENCE WITHOUT IT.
The enemies all have personalities. The three factions all have distinct reasons for existing, and are in conflict with each other. The comments are humorous and the individuals have personality. I suppose at times the coders can overcome even the most inane marketers when it comes to game design.
7544 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 So after the success of Batman Returns, there would be a movie adaption of Batman Forever. The graphics looked interesting. Almost a next gen feel for the SNES. And it would be a brawler. So how could it go wrong? Well first off, it feels like they are trying to rip off Mortal Kombat.
Pros:New Junction System,Very Long,Challenging,Good Graphics.
So i jumped on a stack and started trying to learn my way through all the moves this little kid rolls over and drops his token in and smashes me,
This game will never die, it's truly a forever game and I'll own a copy of it just like FF7 and Castlevania: SotN til the end of time! Buy it if you're into older games, from one gamer to another: it's worth it.
Another side quest I loved was completing the Gerudo Training Fortress to get the Ice arrows. This will force you to use all your skills and items, and will really put you to the test. I would even venture to say that the Gerudo training temple is more difficult than almost every other dungeon.
7236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having solved the first JA and playing JA Deadly Games a lot, I couldn't wait 'till JA2 came out. Well, the wait was worth it, to say the least. I'm a big first person shooter fan and games of this type never interested me until JA. You gotta' try JA2; it may not be first person, but, it really takes tacktics to kick some slime-ball butt. You won't be dissappointed with this game. When you can, hire Ivan, majic, shadow, Wolf or Scope. They will rock your sniping world. Famous quotes: 1. Ivan "Bye Bye" 2. Wolf "I'm Cryin'" 3. Majic "Got me a snapper head" 4. Fidel "Leave me alone, I busy"
There are a total of nine worlds, as well as a main hub world, which is too labyrinthine for its purpose. Rare goes a little overboard as to the amount of collectibles they expect gamers to gather. Unless you use cheats, it takes 94 out of the 100 Jigsaw pieces total to unlock every single world, including the final fight with Grunty. That's not too difficult, as I'd say about 97 of those Jigsaw pieces are a piece of cake. More than 880 of the 900 music notes are needed in order to give you somewhat of a chance against the unfairly difficult fight with Grunty (you just can't count on Rare to make a strictly children's game: see Diddy Kong Racing).
5813 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought the PC version of this game, but there's not difference between the two story wise. The only real difference is that the optional mini game Chocobo World is easier to use on the PC since you don't have to buy a pocketstation. However, that doesn't take away the fact that this is a truly great game to play. If you pay close attention from the beggining, you'll have a great time meeting all the characters and seeing all the sights or the FFVIII's world. The characters are believable and easy to relate to, the graphics, while somewhat dismal on the world wap, are quite excellent once you go into certain areas like Balamb garden or the Shumi Village. The music is also quite entertaining, there's something for everyone in this game. Those who say that this game is either boring or makes no sense was probably not paying much attention while playing. The random battles can be tuned down if you spend the time to figure out how. If you are looking for a great game with a great story, you can't go wrong with Final Fantasy VIII.
5215 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal Gear Solid is the best videogame ever made. Let me explain myself:
Sound: Crisp sound effects (for it's time), wonderfully composed musical score, and outstanding voice acting (David Hayter was especially good). 9.3/10.
1920 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The series of Resident Evil continues with its sequel Resident Evil 2 on PlayStation released in 1998 and developed by Capcom once again. It takes place in Raccoon City which is the closest residence of the mansion from the first game. This time, the entire city has been transformed into zombies from the outbreak of the T-virus created by Umbrella. You get to play as two characters: Leon S. Kennedy (disc one) who is a Raccoon City Police Officer on his first day of the job and Claire Redfield (disc two) who came into town to search for her missing brother Chris Redfield who was one of the main characters in the first Resident Evil game. Both characters get their own set of weapons and storylines, but it doesnt matter what order you play them in.
9757 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gt2 has more cars than the first series but these cars are still in the series then eventually deleted by its publisher. Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi GTO, Nissan Skyline, Ford Mustang and many other cars are included in this version.
So we've got fun and challenging gameplay, but absoloutly terrible graphics. By todays standards, Intelligent Qube is a visual mess. The charachters are terrilbly ugly and everything has a first generation playstation look to it. The game also gets impossibly hard as it goes on. I never got past the fourth level, which says a lot about how hard this puzzle is.
2216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You need this for some games on the n64 so, this is very useful.
3809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The graphics are decent, the objectives are challenging, and you get to play the villain...what could go wrong? True, it doesn't always work on all computers and crashes a lot but if you keep up with saves its not really that big of a deal. I do warn you that this game is pretty addictive once you get it running smoothly though.
8190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great.
What angers alot of gamers is this: We wonder what games didn't get made because "Daikajokea" sucked up so much cash?
And the easiness doesn't stop there- throughout the game you encounter simple enemy after simple enemy. It's a shame, because one of the most important things about the Metroid series should be the challenge, and when you take that away you're left with a game that feels like it's intended for 5 year olds. I just wish it was like the original Metroid in that each enemy you walk up to requires a good four or five shots to completely destroy. Shooting and killing them with only one shot is ridiculous, especially when you consider that the weapon you're using to defeat them is just your regular blaster and not some kind of special upgrade. It also drives me crazy how every enemy you defeat seems to conveniently leave you a purple energy ball, and most of the time you will receive the BIG energy ball, and as you probably know the big ball is the one that recovers more of your health. Nintendo made the game so you can't lose, basically.
There are so many options that it takes many pages to write them down.
The camera angle, on the other hand, took away from the experience, only if a tiny bit. It gets realy annoying when you enter another section of a room and the camera jumps to another angle, when all you want to do is control it and move where you want it to.
4953 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT
When I started playing the first part, I was disappointed by the difference of the story, but, still, It was a nice game.
Typing of the Dead
There's a reason the very name of Silent Hill makes people quiver just a little. Take a look at where it all began and find out for yourself.
In fact, this game has all sorts of cool extra features to be unlocked, as well as secret characters. Now, there are not many secret characters at all, but those that are there are far better than most of the ones in Tekken (Come on now--you can't seriously hope to compare Gon, Mokujin, or even True Ogre to Shin Akuma). The other features include the Dramatic Battle, which lets you fight 2 on 1 against the computer at high difficulty, the Survival Mode, which lets you see how far you can get as both the difficulty and number of simultaneous opponents increase, and the Final Battle, which simply lets you choose any character and fight the last boss so that you don't have to play them all the way through the Arcade Mode. With all these cool extras, plus the fact that the Arcade Mode actually has a good story behind it, this game never runs out of replay value. You're always looking for something new to try, or just to pop the game in for a quick play.
ENTERTAINMENT VALUE: 9/10 It's awesome!
2765 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I can see why this game was so hyped in 1993. CD-ROMs were cutting edge and the "slideshow" graphics are fairly good and so is the sound. However, the story isn't as interesting as the ambiance would have you think and the movement is absolutely, irritatingly choppy.
6366 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well, I'm not going to go in and restate everything from all the other reviews on here, I'm just interjecting my 2 cents. The Multiplayer system is great, the base wars battles are wonderful, everything is great, except one little thing that just bugs the heck out of me. Remember if you will (or just pretend if you never played the game) Wing Commander 3. One ship, the Arrow, a light interceptor, had an ability called the Slide which enhanced it's dogfighting abilities. Well, EVERY ship in this game can do that. There's more though... There is a ship add-on called lateral thrusters in the game, which allow youer ship to strafe side to side. Basically, with both of these aspects being redilly available to every ship in the multiplayer campaigns you have 'dogfights' turning into odd forays which much resemble 'circle strafing' matches in any number of First Person Shooter style games. To me it takes alot of fun out of a flight sim to not be able to dogfight, but that's just my opinion...
The story is very clean as it progresses, taking numerous twists and turns throughout, but still being easy to follow.
8583 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Havent played the game to beat it yet. Everything works though and came in on time. I have no complaints.
9057 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 A JUMPS AND B ATTACKS? THAT MIGHT WORK ON THE NES, BUT NOT ON THE SNES. ON THE SNES IN MOST PLATFORMERS, B JUMPS AND Y ATTACKS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS STANDARD PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED THIS GAME. THERE'S NOT EVEN A CONFIGURATION MODE TO FIX THE CONTROL PROBLEM. ALSO, GRAPHICS ARE UNIMPROVED OVER THE NES! WHY!? The game's not all bad though. Passwords allow you to continue from the level you left off on, which is a major convenience. Because of that alone getting this is better than getting the NES titles separately.
1727 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yesterday was Crash Bandicoots 20th anniversary. Although I didn't show an interest when the game first came out, but when I got PS1 I ended up loving the game but I'll admit I didn't finally beat 100 percent until September 21, 2009. Its one of my all-time favorite PS1 games and is on my top 100 all-time favorite games. I just wish Crash and Tawna would've stayed together because that's so depressing that all that hard work to rescue her was just to assist him in getting his feelings hurt. Hopefully they'll get back together one day. I don't like the final battle much either and wish Cortex would've attack Crash using that blimp. The special right now is the only time I've ever played a game that had a special ending that was worth it. If you're looking for an old but still really fun game I'd definitely recommended this in every way/
With that said, the in-game visuals of FF7 are very much lacking, especially in comparison to later titles. This was obviously a very early release for the rugged PSone. Edges were extremely jaggedy, especially so when not in a battle, live renderings of the characters left a lot to be desired and even the cutscenes themselves were compressed poorly, leaving huge artifacts all over the glorious video renderings. In sharp contrast, though, the animation and design of the hundreds of different enemies, players, items and boss characters is amazing, and the variety of static, immovable backgrounds are superbly concepted, executed and presented.
342 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These extenders work as expected. I bought them when I wanted to buy Double Dash for the game cube to play on my Wii. If you're used to playing the Wii, you probably sit much further away than a standard GC controller will reach, so definitely pick some of these up.
The game is about Squall, who is a member of SeeD, a special force of his Garden, which is kind of like a school. He is instructed to a mission in Timber with the help of 2 other SeeD members, Zell and Selphie, two of my favorite characters. Soon they all are thrown into a mission to assassinate a sorceress and then it turns into much more. But that's what Final Fantasy games are all about.
it's a complex strategy game. i'm trying to figure out how to use the science vessel. it isn't easy, and i'm hoping it isn't going to get stupid difficult.
9055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I must admit I was wishing that Tecmo would have improved the graphics, but after a few trips down memory lane, I was hooked back on one of my favorite series. The action is just as intense as ever, and the music is sweet. The cinemas have been redrawn as well. The effect of the new graphics will make you drool. If only Tecmo worked on the rest of the game. Three games on one cart is a great deal. For those of you who missed out, try playing these classics. You won't regret it.
First downs are 30 yards, there are no penalties, there's no kickoff, and there is no realism involved as far as athletic ability of the players. For example, if you complete a pass from Young to Rice (remember, this is 2000!), and Rice has the open field, two defenders are actually able to catch up to Rice and tackle him. This is flat out ridiculous, even for an arcade game. Ditto Terrell Owens and Tim Brown, and I was able to stop other wideouts with linebackers just by squeezing the turbo button.
3928 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Lucas Arts has come out with some notable fiascos over the past few years as far as games are concerned. Force Commander, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter (which is only good in multiplayer), StarFighter, etc. This is one of thier outings that I actually would rate at 4 1/2 stars and is one of the most misunderstood and underrated games to come out of George Lucas's computer game brainchild.
6410 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires II is a great game and now that it is an older game the price has really dropped. I saw new copies for $13!!! What a deal! Many, many hours of play. You won't get boring of this game for a long, long time. Wyatt Kaldenberg
9136 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works great on my Retron 3
This is one of the few computer games that is well worth the money they ask when it first comes out, and well worth what they are asking now.
- Lots of challenges to beat
- Last game in the Street Fighter "Alpha" franchise (as of 1999)
The thing that makes this game so special is the way the game company made all the regular moves look EXTREMELY devastating. A simple piledriver looks like the guys head is going to splatter! An uppercut can send someone WAY up high, to the point of reaching the lights at the top of the roof! The pace moves SO fast and has SO many cool moves to keep you interested, I can't help but love the heck out of this game.
The game introduces Wario who is a cool new villain character. The play control is excellent the castles and bosses are all well done and interesting. The game is easily one of the best on the original Gameboy system. The games challenge is pretty easy it should only take average players a day or 2 to beat the game. The game is great for people of all ages and is fun to play. I would rate it 5 stars. Even now years after this game has been released it still has a nice replay quality to it. I would easily let my son or daughter play it.
3670 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is pretty much the ultimate when it comes to fighting. The only thing it lacks is the use of weapons and magic. Still, the amount of moves the game actually has is mind-boggling. I would be totally surprised if there were anyone on the planet who knew every move of every player. There's just too damn many! I've played many a fightin' games (Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, etc.) I'm not exactly the greatest gamer around, but I know when a game has just too many moves to choose from. I would "guesstimate" that each player in this game has roughly seventy or more possible combos, moves, special moves, etc. that they can throw at you. That's just too many moves. IF YOU ARE AN AMATEUR, YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME FIRST! THE LESSONS YOU LEARN FROM CONTROLLING THE CHARACTERS OF THIS GAME CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY OTHER FIGHTING GAME---GUARANTEED!
3867 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Piece. Of. Junk.
5977 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When we saw Metal Fatigue become available, I have to admit we weren't keen on buying it. It looked like a cheezy cross between Mech Warrior and Command & Conquer. Still, it said strategy, so we decided to give it a try.
The game is a bit slow, not that much though. The game is rather dark too, so enemies can be hard to spot. The game's window is smaller then usual too.
4039 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Even when this game first came out, it was fairly mediocre. Let's move on, shall we? There are many, many games that topple Half Life and Counter Strike released since 1998.
7598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the first Star Wars title I ever played on a video game system....and....?
The game is nonetheless a platformer in which you control Crash Bandicoot across three islands to defeat Doctor Cortex and rescue your girlfriend. The game is split into levels with one basic goal: get to the end without dying. You start out with four lives and its one hit deaths from being touched by enemies or falling into water or a pit. Yeah, its weird how water kills Crash even though he fell in the water at the introduction and was floating away to one of the islands and survived. Why is it that these characters who are very athletic cant figure out how to swim? I hate games that do this because when you see water, you're never sure if the game will allow you to swim. Its stupid and whats weird is that in the third game Crash does swim underwater with scuba gear. So really the game is a huge contradiction of itself.
I've read SMB3 took about two to three years to program, meaning Nintendo began work on it possibly by late 1985 (though that does sound entirely too early) but definitely by early 1987 and possibly even late 1986 given it was released in October 1988 and both Doki Doki and Lost Levels would have been finished (in the case of Doki Doki, it would have been closed to being completed if not already completed).
1480 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For years,DOOM has been labeled as an evil video game,with extreme violence and satanic imagery. But I say hold on a sec here. I am a Christian myself,and I absolutley love this game. Why you may ask? ...because you get to destroy demons that are straight from Hell!!! I mean come on! What Christian wouldnt wanna love doing that in a video game??? Its not like you shoot people,like in the Grand Theft Auto games. Only people you shoot are fellow marines who are evil and sold out to Satan. So Christians....play with an open mind and understand the TRUE meaning of this game. It is good vs evil!!
2732 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 What a POS this game was and still is today!! All you do is just fly through rings over and over and over and over and over again,until you wanna pull your f'ing hair out!! The controls are hard and complicated,there is no story,and the graphics look like sh..!! I hate this game with a burning passion and every single Ringman 64 cartridge that exists in the world,needs to be destroyed,so future generations of gamers are spared the agony of this giant lump of butt-waste!!
204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I collect consoles and I love to play them as well
Beast, is the fact, that the game only EGA, and VGA color modes.
7564 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it
Any fans of Mario, or Nintendo genre would like this game. As far as kids, there isn't much violence in this game. No blood, or gorey actions. The price is pretty ok, and the game's plot is pretty ok. There are many courses and places to explore so if you are a slow player it'll take some time. After you complete the game, you'll still be going back to it. Seeing that my brothers and I already beat it over 10 times, we're finally getting tired of it!
4595 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game for a gift and he was so so happy to get it! Product was just as described. Sipping was fast and I received it by the expected delivery date.
Others may come to hate the limited space one has to carry items. Any good first person shooter allows a much larger range of munitions and keys to hold at once. In RE 2, you get about 8 slots. That means if you carry the beloved pistol for zombie shooting, its ammo, and the life saving shotgun for anything else (with its ammo) you have 4 slots to carry any health, keys, or back-up weaponry you want or find. Trust me, its really scary to bring a knife to a gun fight, or a pistol to a rocket fight. Much of the puzzle system runs along these lines. Some require you to place 4 or more pieces into a key hole. But you can't just find them and take them there, you have to carry other things. This means you will have to find them, place them in the item box ( a magical, multi-locational box that will hold everything you own and be reached in many places) then go find the others before finally gathering them all and opening the puzzle. Sound tedious? Strangley the game manages to keep you plenty busy in between so it never really becomes too much of a problem.
The camera is cool; it can swivel around. The downside about that is that young players might accidently twist it off completely, or just damage it out of frustration.
I can't say enough about this game. My only real recommendation: Play it. If you don't own it, burrow it from a friend. You will want to own a copy within an hour of starting a new game.
The Presentation is terrible! You only have a Choice of 6 characters. Scorpion, Kano, Liu Kang, Raiden, Sub-Zero, Sonya. No Johnny Cage. The Game itself is just a 10 fighter tournament. About 6 fights of the same thing. then last 3 is Endurance rounds (aka tag team fighters) Then Goro fight where Goro just gropes you, then Shang Tsung fight. THE END.
5209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MGS is one of the best psx games ever made.
I recently played it again and noticed several pros and cons that made it such a good game. It had hilarious sound effects, great controls, a few varieties of boards to chose from, and solid looking graphics. It is also fun to get power ups and shoot down your friends to get in the lead. What's really cool about this game is the chair lift at the end of the run. To get back to the top of the mountain you have to go up a chairlift, but the chaos that happens to be the first person to ride the chairlift is hilarious. The only thing that turns people off from the game is that there are only four riders to choose from, and they're all little kids. In other games like Mario Kart, there is more characters to chose from, but the character choices are only a minor con. It also has an incredibly babyish look towards it that can be a slight turn off for older kids. But once you can "read past its cover" the game can be so much fun to play with friends and family. It is almost nothing like the immature style the game gives off.
If you liked the game then check out all of the other MK games, Movies, Books or cd's out there.
-Characters learn MANY moves by use of the ones listed in their command window
827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Harder than I remember. But still fun to break out and play when feeling nostalgic.
The levels are long, samey brawler levels consisting of streets, a forest-like park, a bridge and a factory and you're going to run through each one for what feels like five minutes straight encountering the exact same enemies and occasionally having the choice of taking different paths which wastes time more than the average game should.
1522 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved playing this game 15 years ago & I still love it now. ONE OF THE BEST GAME EVER!!!
7982 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you loved Donkey Kong Country 1 or 2 (OR BOTH!!!) then you will definately love this addition to the beloved snes Franchise! It takes what the first two have done and runs with it to make a spectacular third installment to the revered trilogy for snes! You play as Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong! We have been introduced to Dixie Kong in the second installment but now we have Kiddy Kong! Rest assured what this toddler lacks in age he makes up for in sheer strength and size! Think of him as a toddler version of Donkey Kong! It ends the snes trilogy in a very good way! It is definately a fun and addicting addition to the beloved franchise! I highly recommend it 10/10
Perhaps the only trouble you could have in modern times is that, because the game was released for Windows 95 and Windows NT, you might have difficulties playing the game on a just-released system. The game is, after all, from 1997. However, I just tested the game out on my 2010 laptop which is running Windows Vista. It ran without a problem. I logged into Battle.net and there were currently 137 StarCraft games running! I'm not sure how many other 13 year old games you could find this kind of enthusiasm for.
Levels: The levels are divided by eras (the whole travel through time element). For example: Im in the dinosaur era and I play 3 levels from this era one after the other (unlock them), catch the required number of monkeys, then leave, unlocking a new era with 3 more levels (Hope that explains it good). Each level is unique and different which makes everything feel fresh and that much more awesome.
I couldn't imagine a better interface for controlling a fleet battle. It is very intuitive and smooth. And you aren't forced to run around constantly micro-managing individual ships. Plus you get that little cinematic "screen in screen" that lets you see individual ship-to-ship action like it was on a movie screen. A tiny little movie screen, but a movie screen.
2624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's the classic GBC for old school hand held gaming! It's not the latest and greatest, but there are plenty of games on here worth playing.
7364 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game-play in Astal is interesting. There is a cave-part where you will be "warned" of incoming monters. The screen will grow dark, and all you'll see is the glowing eyes of beasts, your companion and Astal. If you like Odin's breath-taking graphic's, you'll like Astal. It's almost in the same fashion as Odin's background. The Boss fights somewhat remind me of Castlevania Rhondo of Blood remake for the psp. There are animated cut-scenes and voice-acting. The game also reminds me of "Crystal Maze" for the Atari. Remember you had to finish the level before the grim-reaper came? Well Astal has its version of the reaper. Finish quickly or there will be something unpleasant stalking you. You'll also want to smack the Goddess for punishing Astal then suddenly falling asleep for no reason, thus leaving the universe vulnerable to be destroyed by her enemy. She then stupidly leaves afterwards for good, so she has no purpose other than just being a "goddess". The in-voicing is somewhat cheesy.
This is one of the best types of Battle System. First of all, it is a mixture of active time and turn base battle. Every enemy shares the same Active Time Bar. Once a character reaches a certain point, you have all the time you need to select your attack. Not only that, but certain attacks can affect the active time greatly, sending the enemy, (or your characters) backwards in the active time bar. OH! And did I mention there are NO random battles. The enemies run around in the screen with you, and you see them before you come in contact. Once defeated they disappear. Come close enough to them, and they will chase you though.
On the singleplayer aspect the game is fun. You can be whatever type of person you want to be and do whatever you want. You can be a noble paladin ot a scoundrel thief... it's up to you. As you progress through the game you gain experience and abilities and learn more and more about why people are hunting you.
You are able to interact with the Pokemon on a limited basis - throwing food etc, to get them in various poses.
5095 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's awesome if you love Metal Gear Solid (especially the first one)as much as I do. Packed with unlockables like the ability to play as Grey Fox! Big time investment however which is a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.
Boss fights are interesting and non-repetitive. You will never defeat two bosses the same way. You'll encounter tanks, helicopters, gas mask wearing S&M telepaths and the way you over come each will test your intelligence and break the fourth wall a few times.
"Dig Dug" is one of the classic arcade games of the 80s. The game seems easy enough to play (dig your way through dirt, kill monsters before they kill you, and collect vegetables). However, the game becomes increasingly difficult as you progress and before you know it your running away more than you are shooting at monsters because there's just too many of them.
The ingame tracks can be downright devious in terms of design, some of them have half pipes, or missing rails and even parts where you can fly off the track of you don't orient yourself correctly on them (Leading to some frustrating and amusing deatsh depending on the situation). Theres also no misjudging things on the track or a turn as the game is exceptionally generous with turns on most stages and all the opposing racers are colorful and stand out. (The colors also add to the games sense of speed).
I got this game the time it came out and yeah its a little to late to be reviewing this game but what the hell. Metal gear solid is about solid snake who is trying to infaltrate a terrorist base holding a new type of nuklear warheads. METAL GEAR REX. Snake soon finds moor enemies and Allies as this amazing progresses through. I personaly loved every character.
If FF7 is any better than this, it's not much better. I hold both games dear to my heart and I think that either game will give you a very enjoyable experience.
The graphics are great and the special sound effects and visuals are stunning. Still the people look a little mechanical (unreal), but the PIXAR technology is still a few years away to be put in out homes as of yet.
Graphics- This game looked amazing for it's day, now it may be unimpressing but remember what the world of N64 looked liked. 5/5/
Plot: Crash is back kidnapped to help Cortex collect crystals. 9/10
The only complaint I have about this game, (reason why I gave it a four instead of a 5) is that the AI are too smart. Races sometimes seem to be unfair. You throw items at them, knock them to the side, speed ahead of them and it seems like whatever you do, it doesn't matter. This can be frustrating. Though the controls are WAY improved over the Super Nintendo version, it still is hard to control the carts (karts) around corners.
In conclusion, I have to say that this system is definitely a gem. People are getting nervous now, because when Playstation 2 comes, Dreamcast could just be cast into the same fate as Sega Saturn was. Which is really too bad. But, the one eye-opener that caught my attention is the fact that the Dreamcast is $100 cheaper then PlayStation 2. Sure, PS2 can play DVDs, but DVDs don't look too hot if they're played on an older TV, and to REALLY get some use of them, you have to have a little satellite that....oh, whatever. And what's with that shimmery effect that ALL of PS2's games have been having? Haha, could they hurry up and fix that already?
It also doesn't help that the puzzles you have to solve are ALWAYS really awful (and appear frequently) and, because of the jumping problem, very frustrating to complete. Trying to aim your gun at an emeny isn't exactly a walk in the park, either. The whole series has been an overrated disaster up to this point.
With the exception of monsters each character may change jobs between battles. Some examples include the armor and weapon breaking Knight, the duel-wielding Ninja, the enviroment dependant Geomancer, or the bare knuckled Monk to name a few. A character must learn certain jobs first to unlock more down the road. In the beginning you choose either Squire to have a more 'fighter-type' skill set or Chemist for the 'wizard-type' skill set. The Archer, which you learn later, unlocks the 'rogue-type' skill set. Each and every job brings its own unique skills to bare and you may cross your current job with another job you have been training with earlier. For example; If you had mastered the Thief class you may change classes to the Lancer, set your seconardy skill as 'Steal' (the Thief's skill), and now you may level the Lancer class but use all your hard earned 'Steal' skills too. I can't say how much I appreciate this in a game.
9572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite FFT games, while the graphics are not extremely good it does not hurt the feel of the game as the gameplay stays solid even if have not play it for 2 years !
5455 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is very nice it was hard and it took me a month to beat it. Ok I do admit some of the charecters from 3 and Ultimet suck so I don't pick them. Yet I can't help but love it when I do Scorpions attacks and defeat Kahn. Yet number two will always be the best I think Unless Midway goes back with the old charecters and get some real writers for a better plot!!!
-Beautiful battle graphics and CG cinemas.
Yes, WWF In Your House is an old game with noticeably average graphics and not-so smooth animations. It came out in 1996, I believe. The graphics simply aren't as good as Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. BUT if you're a fan of Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, I see no reason why you wouldn't like In Your House.
so basicly you build your own theme park by managing it feeding guests entertaining them, and not getting them sick. it is quite a challenge. im not gonna go on and on about this game because it is only 10 bucks and has a great overall rating.
7923 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game.
(The previous paragraph may have contained minor spoilers, by the way.)
While I'm by no means someone who cares about the best graphics available, you gotta admit the ones here have dated horrendously with embarrassing blocky shapes pretty much occupying most areas of the game. The buildings, water and trees in particular are just awful for the eyes. Nothing appealing whatsoever about any of the graphics- even the bright inviting colors don't lure me in but rather rub me the wrong way and force some of us older gamers to recall the unpleasant days of Mario Paint.
I turn off "audio enhancements" and "video enhancements" on my TV/audio setup.
I'm not particularly a fan of 3D fighters, and this game reminds me of why. Stay away from this one. If you're not a Star Wars fan, it's just a bad fighting game. If you are a Star Wars fan, that will make you even more disappointed in this title.

Those of you gamers that are so obsessed about Playstation and Nintendo that you beleive Sega Dreamcast isn't and never will be worth it, you are missing out, Especially if you're going to buy Psx2 just because of the improved graphics on 95% of the old Playstation games; anyways, bleem for DC is coming out on Sega this August , which will be able to play 400+ Playstation games in 128 bits, in which Playsation2 will only play them in 64 bits. So if you're one of those big jerks who hate Sega because of previous systems and wouldn't in your right mind buy a DC, you are missing out. Go ahead, then. Miss out. Hate. You're just making yourself less happy. Scroll up and Buy a Dreamcast RIGHT NOW, no matter what your friends say.
What makes TOOT special IMO is the fact that it is the first game (that I've played) where you truly feel like a part of its world. Many games tried hard to accomplish this feat, including previous Zelda titles, but TOOT was the first game to finally get it right. Even the later Majora's Mask never quite managed to create the immersive world TOOT did.
more color. Back in the late 90's, my brother beat the game. I recently beat the game myself using Gamefaqs.com.
- Turn based strategy RPG
- The entire For Pete's Sake level seems like it's designed all wrong in this version. The colors are exceptionally bright orange and icky which is a MAJOR turn off for me, whereas on the Super NES you experience a beautiful blue and black background resembling an actual solar system. The music is especially bad here as well and hardly resembles the same theme in the Super NES version. Oh, and maybe I'm imagining things, but it seems there's more meteor showers in this version. This could depend on the difficulty too. Factor in the missing sound effects and yeah, this level's not nearly as memorable as the Super NES version. On a side note, for some reason the Super NES version of this theme reminds me of the opening theme from Bobby's World!
424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 haven't play for long time and love this game as enjoy play. it good play game I guess well alright
More characters, Sub Zero unmasked.
BLAST CORPS, from Rare on the Nintendo 64, is a mixture of these two reactions.
6703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Land was really great. You are Mario and you search through worlds to try to find Princess Daisy. It's a great game because I hate Bowser and Bowser isn't in this game. The only problem is.... no saving!! Oh,well.
1624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game was in excellent condition and worked perfectly fine on my 1st Gen ps3
All and all I think this is a wonderful game, I myself has played it 3 times without getting sick of it because the story can change so much depending what you do.
43 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
The challenge for the game was very even and as the player you always feel like you have a chance to win the round. The sequels for Twisted Metal never seemed to capture the fun aspect or outstanding play control in this game.
With Mario Golf, the game consists of the start of four golfers, including Baby Mario, Peach, and a couple of others. Throughout the game, you can access the Get Character mode, which can help you challenge other characters like Mario, Bowser, and Yoshi. Once you win the character, you also need them, the harder the challenger in the round. It is also important in the Tournament mode, where you can also earn enough points toward newer golf courses and challenging holes in the process. Each course reflecting on the cute, Mario Brothers themed style, which makes it appealing to all ages old and young, where the other games don't seem to have that sense of enjoyment.
All of the musical compositions are new, as well, and they're great. Even if you've never played this game before, listening to the music will make you feel nostalgic. This really adds a lot to the game.
PS. check out its Sequel Banjo-Tooie after you've bought this!
9886 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I read a review about this game being better than FF7, I thought they were nut. After all, FF7 is my favorite, and I thought anyone including Square couldn't do better. For good 3 years, I never gave second thought.
I just have one bad things to say about the game. It is the exact same as all other previous Blitz games. Hopefully Blitz 2001 will be a lot different. So this is a great game. Buy and enjoy.
374 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This Is Eaiser Than the first one, but it's pretty fun i liked it. You get to play some original characters like, Bad Mister Frosty, Taffy, The Blob, Bonker& Ickybodclay(My Favorite).
2379 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 8/10 Gameplay (Mainly because of my bitterness toward the snail's pace leveling-up)
Great control,
794 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The multiplayer is amazing but most reviews already cover that. I still have yet to beat the last level "Cradle" and the 2 bonus missions on the hardest difficulty after 12 years, and yet I am addicted to trying over and over. I finished the Campaign twice on the 1st 2 difficulties. Each difficulty higher, the more parts of the level you explore, and the more crazy scenarios you will experience, places and scenarios that you did not experience in the easier difficulties.. Many missions you can go about using stealth or guns blazing. It is always fun trying to beat facility or Bunker #1 with just a silenced pp7 without alerting anyone. Nothing is more satisfying than shooting 2 gaurds to death with a silenced ppk before they can hit the alarm. In some levels if you are feeling arrogant, you can hit the alarm yourself and take on hundreds of enemies and go rambo. There is so much about this game I could go on for days about how amazing this game is. No modern AAA FPS has surpassed Goldeneye on N64 campaign to this day. The remakes have been complete crap, despite the amazing COD engine. If you own a N64 and love perfect dark or other great FPS adventures you will love this.
You can personalize your park to whatever you like, but to get the ultimate "personalization equipment", please get the expansion pack, Loopy Landscapes. It also includes the first expansion pack, Corkscrew Follies. So it's a good deal. So please head over to the review for Loopy Landscapes and find out what kind of cool add-ons you get. If your in a budget limit and cant afford the expansion pack right now...Lemme just tell you that the personalization tools in RCT are pretty good. The expansion packs just add to it. You can paint the rides to what you want, rename guests, rename the rides, the name of the park, etc, etc.
GF's~
1301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A truly revolutionary and classic game. There's are many reasons people still play this title. If you have an N64, this is a game you probably should have.
Constantly having to rearrange the camera so you can see where you're actually going is a nuisance. Nobody likes dealing with a camera while jumping around trying to play a video game, but granted, several games back in the mid to late 90's were guilty of the same camera problems since developers were still getting their feet wet so to speak, and figuring out the best way to help players accurately and conveniently see what's ahead. Still, you'll lose more than a few lives due to bad camera angles in Super Mario 64. I guarantee it. One thing I *do* like about this game is how fast Mario runs. It's a fast-moving game, which helps going from point A to point B more convenient. Also some of the wall jumps and triple jumps are fun to execute. Reminds me of Super Metroid in that respect. Yoshi is teased in this game (I won't spoil how) but he's not actually playable which doesn't make sense. Why make an appearance if he's not going to be playable?
6141 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has a reputation of being terribly bad. I feel differently, One of the most talked about problems is the control, lots of people are whining about not being able to control her arm and so on.... In fact the arm control is very realistic and well done, its just that most people who have adapted to not having to worry about controling anything and only have to push the trigger. So they find the 'being able to control you arm' thing hard and they give up because they'ed rather have it easy, im not gonna lie to you, controling your arm in the game is difficult, but is finely done once you learn how. Another problem people are having is with slowdown, yes, this game slows down on slow machines, but if you have a pentium 2 400 or greater you should be fine, The gameplay is excelent and the AI(artificial intelegence)on the dinos really shines, I think that this game is good on a fast machine, and if you like real phisics and real life type stuff, then you'll love this game.
- Have to unlock most of the game through the story/quest mode
7797 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazing- I had this game many years, and I liked it so much that I still play it a lot. It is a great value,especially for the price, and it is cool to design your own city and how it works! I also recommend buying Simcity 2000. That game is even better than this one!
8290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best Video games for SNES. The look and game-play is great. (Jump and shoot) Suggest buying this game.
4361 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All these simulator games continue to come out but only one will remain less complicated. I called that Age of Empires. Don't know anything about the past of conquering and empires? Easy then. All you have to do for one easy game is attack the Greek if your the Egyptians and take over there government. Usually it is supposed to take a while and if you gain more points then the Greek, you'll be fine. Also you can play with a friend or with someone you don't know by using Zone.com from MSN, aka Microsoft. You can also do campaigns. Another thing you can do is be the Persians, Mongols, Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, Korean, even more or just create your own tribe and call it anything you want. The game isn't tough and for people like me who like the Conquering age, you'll like this game. Isn't like Civilization and Casear games which are complicated. So go ahead and buy Age of Empires today.
Game Design-5/5, the world is huge, there is tons to do, and don't forget about Culex.
8092 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. I remember playing it when it first came out in the late 90's. The graphics (for that time frame) were excellent. Gameplay itself was really fun and the story line was cool too. Time to Kill was the 3rd person shooter that paved the way for others to follow. This it typical alien ass kicking Duke Nukem at his best. There are even some cool secrets in the game for added perks like upgraded guns. This is definitely a great game for the semi-vintage inventory.
Super Mario 64 plays how a 3D game should be played like: With a free camera, flawless control, and extremely playable environments.
I've dropped the controller MANY times from my chair (my hands are probably about 3 feet up) on tile, the card still works fine. All my games are still in tact.
9082 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This controller has a near perfect d-pad feel and easy to press buttons,and it's comfortable to grip. This is easily one of the best controls of all time. Sega was always ahead of it's time when it comes to products,this is the perfect example of what they use to produce back when they made nice video game systems.
This is a game that is filled with techniques and styles that would be mimicked in many future games to come, and it gives the player a wide variety of objectives, and difficult challenges. The A.I. is smart (especially on higher difficulty settings) and the environments are complex enough to provide entertainment, as well as difficulty to any gamer.
And yes, for the first time in the series (aside from his small playable role in Castlevania III), you get to control Dracula's son. But when the Belmonts are essentially nowhere to be found upon Dracula's arrival (and thus, less whip cracking this time around), mankind seriously needs a savior such as Alucard to pick up the slack and put his father (along with Death, Succubus, and the Dark Priest Shaft) back in their places. Richter brought Dracula down years earlier, but it's up to Alucard to figure out why Richter disappeared as well. And so...
620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the Nintendo 64! I still play some games occasionally and this one was always a fun one. It will frustrate you though!
19 classes in all and 400 skills/abilities, a lot of time is spent trying level up to access everything. Very customizable but tedious at times. Nothing new for Square in that department. The trick to customizing in this game is balancing your team. A good mix of warriors and mages will allow you to beat most opponents without much problem.
Legacy of Kain
That said.
4856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It worked out of the box, no issues at present and I don't anticipate any.
Something quick to note is that the game features three distinct types of battles:
7292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We originally bought this for the multi-player portion. We started doing the Adventure and love it. I generally do not like role playing games and most adventure games, but this one is a keeper. This place is HUGE!
Voices match the characters-sigma s best voice still. Mega man s voice is traditional as it should be.
1. They feature likeable characters. All have style, and sense of existence. They are not just a filling, rather important part of story and the game itself.
Intuition....? STOP! STOP! STOP Please let me use my own intuition! And what is it with the game constantly talking to you like you're an idiot? All this serves to do is kill any the sense of atmosphere, tension and suspense!
10-Winged fortress(91%)An epic chase in the sky. You play Sonic running through an airship! And at the end, you leave Earth...
Where do I start with the things I hate about this game?
3. A - 1 left. B - 2 left. C - 2 right.
Overall the game is one of the best role plaing/action games on the system, and combined with one of the most engaging storylines ever devised, as well as some of the most gut wrenching and blood filled cinemas , the game pushed the limits of what could be allowed on Playstation (look at the censoring of the original Resident Evil for example). But it is not just this eclectic mixture that gives this game top honors in my book; it is more so in its ability to draw the player into Kains soul, witnessing his will being torn apart at the seams as he attempts to confront his own personal demons, upon being turned into a vampire at the beginning of the game. Upon awakening in his sanctuary, Kain finds the world much more to his liking, although the further he continues into his quest the more he questions his original willingness to become a vampire. Epic in every sense of the word, I dar anyone who says they are a videogame junkie to complet this game 100%, as this is a true test of patience, as well as utter skill. Its shortcomings are easily overlooked, once you realize just how engaging this game truly is, with completly different weapons at your disposal (you just can't forget the hum of the Soul Reaver the first time you acquire it) to the numerous types of armor, and magic you acquire, this game is an overlooked gem. Stick with it and you will not be dissappointed. Enjoy your nightmares.
Final Fantasy VII is by no means a hard game. It is arguably one of the easiest games in the series. In particular, the final battle turns out to be one of the easiest fights in the game against someone who has often been labeled one of the most threatening in history. Yet Final Fantasy VII makes for that with several hidden goodies. You won't find too many optional dungeons in Final Fantasy VII, but you will find an incredible number of optional things to do off the beaten path. From breeding and racing Chocobos, to finding hidden materia, to taking on ultra powerful bosses and even finding hidden characters who have more than just a face, but actually play into the story itself. There are more secrets in Final Fantasy VII than even most RPGs of today.
4977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great service and price.
9092 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 all the final fight games are great (exept for that crappy one for ps2) but i think this one was my favorite in the series. i like the characters special moves and combos during action and also each character has a special weapon to pick up using combos, HAGGAR has the PIPE, LUCIA has a CLUB STICK, DEAN has the SLEDGEHAMMER (no combo) and GUY has the NUNCHUKS. they also each have special attacks when the power gauge goes up. i like the graphics and the enemies on each level and also you can take different hidden paths during gameplay to skip a few levels. Highly recommended.
Half-Life has the best multiplayer playability in action games and probably the most easy to use interface ever. Half-Life is a must for all FPS fans. I can't understand how Myst is still the best selling game ever. There is absolutely nothing wrong in half-life, It is probably the most perfect game ever made, There should be a prize to persons who find real fault with half life. The NPC's look alike but that's understandable, In all games two out of ten charecters look alike, It bothers only in half life because they look so real, For people who find that as a big con let me tell you if valve decided that each charecter must have a different then half life wouldn't be half complete today. Some people think Xen is not fun to play, That's because you are in the science lab and all of a sudden you are in Xen and could not handle the sudden atmosphere change, Xen is fun to play. Half Life is a very well planned and polished game that it is very shinning. And it is the only game which has not crashed on my system. Forget Quake II or Unreal, Buy Half Life you would not regret it.

2747 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 In "Kill Bill: Vol. 2", David Carradine described Superman as follows, "Not a very good comic; not particularly well-drawn." Well, I suppose if Caine from Kung Fu is talking about this character, then the game must be cool too, right? It's been almost 10 years since Titus released the most unorthodox game to ever grace our solar system. It must be good, since we're still talking about all these years later.
2850 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love APE ESCAPE. It is the best Playstration game ever. Just look at the other revues if you do not believe me. You need a dual shock controller to play this awesome game. the mini games are really cool.
Crash has never been the same since Naughty Dog let him get away. Other developers have made some very uninspired sequels with him, changing his looks, alliances and even voice. I know you can't do the same thing forever but none have come close to the success of Naughty Dog, when they held the reins of this franchise. Today, Crash sits in a woeful state, being made to participate in very un-Crash-like games.
One last thing that bothered me a tad and it is the expression on Max's face. He is quite obviously terribly constipated. Poor guy! You would think that with all that running around New York City he could pop into a drug store to find some OTC relief.
Graphics: It's a very nice job by Factor 5, here. Of course it looks dated by now, but in the grand scheme of things, I'd say it's aged pretty gracefully. Make sure you have an expansion pack for your system to get the full effect.
Anticipation may have been the first board-game video game for Nintendo, but it wasn't exactly successful, and had relatively primative gameplay. So people now associate Mario Party with the introduction of board-game video game, and it's definitely more like a board game than any other game before it. I mean, you "roll a dice" and move around the board encountering various pitfalls and experiencing different events. Although most of the boards are well-designed, I have realized that the majority of the "board-game" aspect is text or movement, and somebody watching a tape with only footage the "board-game" aspect would likely get very bored very fast. But what makes Mario Party the gem that it is are...the mini-games! Yes, Mario Party has 56 mini games to entertain all souls from all walks of life. Sure, not all mini-games are perfect, but you know what? Even with all of the blisters, broken glasses, and white powder appearing on the N64 controller, the mini-games are still worth it! Especially Mushroom Mix-Up and Running of the Bulb. Oh yeah. Those are great games. Mushroom Mix-Up provided tons of frantic fun and Running of the Bulb was hectic but exciting. 4-player teamwork games really need to make a comeback.
Seriously, SNES had all of the better fighting games so I'm sure you could find one that you like because there are several to choose from. For instance, STREET FIGHTER II series (New Challengers, Hyper, etc), MORTAL KOMBAT II and ULTIMATE MORTAL KOMBAT, FATAL FURY 2 SPECIAL and even BALLZ. Skip SHAQ FU, it's a waste of your time.
This is one of the greatest games of all time,
While many people are now into the games for Nintendo's Gamecube, for those who still own the Nintendo 64, really need to own this sports game. It is just a first down to the ultimate gaming library. Only, if you still own the Nintendo 64 and didn't trade it in for a CD-ROM gaming system that takes longer to upload the game. NFL Blitz 2000 is that one kind of fantasy sports game, that continues to bring in the touchdowns easily.
It may seem like Batman and Robin would play radically different, but they actually don't. Each one of them has a set of universal tools. Not just the batarang, but also a grappling hook to reach other layers of stages, tiny bombs to find hidden passages in the floors (and to deal damage to enemies etc.) and the same basic attacks. Despite Robin having a staff it doesn't operate any different than Batman's fist. The game won't be significantly easier if you use one character over another. You might think their gadgets where they differ make a huge difference but the gadgets the game is made to favor are shared by both of them. It might seem great to try to decide whether you should use Batman's slippery goo or Robin's Sticky goo but both tools are so horrible you'd never actually use them to begin with. Both have the preferred Bat Bola and respective gadgets that will make them invincible when the gadget is active. You won't find any significant difference in the characters.
2463 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This one started it all so it is the most popular. It has great graphics for the 64 and the sound is amazing. I loved all of the super smash bros series and to this day these r my favorites for each system. It has a great multiplayer game and the stages r very creative. The only bad thing about the game is that there r only 12 charecters and not that many stages but remember this is the first one. If u look at the front it looks like a kiddie game but thats what all of the nintindo games looked like back then. The graphics r so good that sometimes u cant tell this on and the melle games apart.
FF6 is probably the greatest ever RPG. Forget the dodgy graphics and sound. This game has the best storyline and characters out of any FF game. It also includes the best villain in any game ever! Kefka, the psychopathic, twisted general! I won't give away too much about the storyline because it will spoil it.
1103 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Since Amazon is sort of combining Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask into one review, I will write a review for both games. Both games have been remade for the GameCube, and I own both the original N64 version and the GameCube version. The gameCube versions were released if you bought a GameCube at a certain time and if you pre-ordered the Wind Waker.
Mike London, 9-9-2012
Overall, there's nothing to say. I don't know what you're doing reading my review if you haven't played this game yet. This is one of those games you must beat during your lifetime (The Wind Waker, the last game in the series, is very good, but it isn't nearly as good as Ocarina Of Time). It might take a long time for you to beat it if you're always busy, because the game is not short, but you must try. It'll be an unforgettable experience to be Link in Hyrule.
Cons:

Level one has 7 races, all aare pretty easy. After you finish the level, you are given access to one level in level 4...each level is the same, but each getting harder...there are 4 races in level four, and let me tell ya...THEY ARE HARD!!!!!!! :)...!!! :)...(I still havn't completed races 3 and 4 in level 4!!!)...
Overall, this is a really great Game Boy game. You should get it for any Game Boy system you have.

This thing is incredible, and the sequences make it even better. Who can forget the scientist screaming as he plunges down the vacant elevator shaft? Made me watch my step...and the ominous music right before you step into a room- and rock begins plunging down over your head? Walk up to a scientist wounded- and he'll pull out a syringe, saying 'Hold still- this won't hurt a bit.' Free heal! Lead a Barney towards an enemy, and he'll yell 'Die, you bloodsucker!' before shooting. (Might i mention the voices are great?) I also enjoyed the beginning- walking past a table with a scientist sitting at a table enjoying some coffee, or another tying his shoe, or another saying 'Someone's hidden my glasses again...'...
3617 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although the inside of the case was missing most of the plastic pieces that hold the disk in place the game plays great. I have no loading or game play issues at all. This was a great purchase and I am happy to add this game to my Tekken collection.

You will fly a total of three ships in this sequel, including the old PyroGL. Weapons run the gamut from the standard concussion missile to the all-powerful Black Shark. New energy weapons such as the Microwave Cannon add a new twist to decimating enemies and standbys such as the Fusion Cannon and Plasma Cannon make a return. The graphics are breath-taking and the sound is nothing short of immersive.
2498 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Most N64 games are easy to get sick of but this one, the fun lasts forever. It is so fun to play
4171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is wonderful! I couldn't believe the amount of physics in this game. You have a lot of rides to choose from, and endless opportunities! One really good thing about this game is that there's a lot of levels, which is really suprising for a sim. game. The game has a nice learning curve, although it's pretty difficult to make a good roller coaster when you're inexperienced. The graphics are really good, considering it doesn't take much to run the game. It's really fun watching roller coaster cars going fifty miles per hour through loops, corkscrews, helixes, and many more special track designs. Sound is great also. You hear people laughing, screaming when you overlook your park masterpiece. The conversation sounds even get louder when you get to more crowded areas. This is a great game; I suggest every sim. lover should buy it.
#5 AR34 - A fast gun, but when compared to some of my other favorites, it just doesn't measure up. Has a very close-up scope function.
19 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i like bf games and this works with my wireless xbox 360 controller ( i don't have a xbox i use it for pc games)
7071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To find this game new and unopened is a challenge glad I did This is one of my top favorites in the Genesis Titles
Thanks Amazon
You may want to invest in the power needed to play Starcraft 2 if you're using 7.
The overall score? If you don't know that, you must be flipping. How many stars did I give it, genius? Read the review, for the love of Pete.
I really love the ambiance of this game. From the very start this world is just dripping with grit. The boss fights aren't too tough, but if you're like me you like feeling overpowered. Additionally, this game has several play modes. I don't want to spoil anything, but you can play as people other than Alucard. Or as a modified Alucard ;)
5805 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It sure does. Old, boring, hard to play and hard to control. This game is more fun than a sharp stick to the eye but not by much. And the price when it first came out! Sheesh! I'm betting that the only reason some people buy this is Lara's chest and that doesn't justify purchasing this accident of a game.
7407 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Shaq Fu is a game that should never have been created. Horrible 2D fighter and miserable plot. Great for a gag gift for a classic gamer.
8258 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mega Man X (1993). The first part of a seven episode spin-off series, and the first one to appear on the Super Nintendo.
Expand your population
All things said, I can't really find anything bad about this game. It's a great step up from the old series and has some of the best 2D action gameplay you will ever find on the SNES. Its only slight drawback comes from the fact that the X series is at its concept stage at this point, giving off ideas that will only continue to improve in the next several X games. This game gets 4 stars for good gameplay/sound/story/innovation, all put together into an overall great package. I heartily recommend this game to beginners of the series. Many long-time fans find this to be their all-time favorite X game. While it's certainly not my favorite, it does everything that an oldschool 2D action game should do: deliver pure nostalgic gaming bliss. Besides, isn't that all that MM games need in order to be good? If you haven't played this game yet, either you're too young to care, or you've been living in a hole for the past decade. In which case, go get yourself equipped with Time Stopper, and track down a copy of this game before they all disappear. You won't regret it.
Deception is the tale of you, the rightful prince of Zemkia, betrayed by your brother Yurias and the palace magician for the murder of your father. About to be hanged, you are spared by the dark powers of Astarte, a demoness. In addition to your life and an opportunity to seek revenge on the world, she grants you the power to set devious traps and such inside the Castle of the Damned. But what does she ask in return? Why, the enchanted items which, when gathered, can break the seal on the Devil himself and free him from his prison. What will you do?
562 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks The wonderful packaging I'm so happy To deal with you
PROS: Cute, lovable characters.
the cinematics in this game, even by today's standards, are some of the most well crafted to date. enemies are all introduced in an impressive manner and even scenes of pure information and dialogue are fun to watch (at least the first time). the voice acting is superb and the whole thing comes off as something of movie-quality work. this game isn't a classic for no reason. check it out and you'll understand why. and if you can't stand the blocky graphics of the psone, get the re-vamped Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, for the gamecube. it's the same tale, with some minor added and changed stuff, but nothing major. either way, it's well worth you money, and so cheap for such a masterpiece. no one should be without a copy of this game.
1. Everything on this game is a top notch. The graphics of it's time were superb. The story telling was excellent. The enemies were plentiful, and the combat was awesome. There was plenty of boss fights that I loved, if you read my other reviews you would know that. Multiple of goodies were added on after you beat the game, so I don't know where you can go wrong with this game.
9469 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks, super fast shipping, grandson loves it.

4966 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Why is everyone upset with this game? I'm not sure, but I'm not one of them. I guess everyone expected alot more than the original Total Annihilation and what they got was something designed a little better. Maybe a little too pretty. Here is what the game has going for it. Excellent detail to the each unit, building, and the surrounding terrain. A good story. Units with special attack features and some of these are really cool. The gameplay is pretty good also. The on-line gaming at boneyards. This is where the game really excels and is probably more competitive. What could've been better? The soundtrack wasn't very good. There was too much quietness when playing. And in some of the battles, the only way in was a narrow passage where only 2 units could stand side by side. the computer would just pack this passage way and it would take forever to get in (it took me over 7 hours on 2 such battles towards the end of the game). I would probably rate this closer to 3 1/2 stars, but I did enjoy this game. Lots of different characters and some pretty good battles.
5496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can share so much about this game. But to keep it short, this is like the most fun classic adventure game i could ever own and play. I consider everyone to play or at least try it.
Another big change? The art style. Due to the game taking place while Mario is a baby, the art style reflects a story-book, hand drawn visual appearance and also features what can only be considered crayon coloured backgrounds and sprites. By 1995, Nintendo had mastered the graphically prowess of the SNES, and with the advent of the "Super FX 2" chip, they accomplished visual feats which you would think was far beyond the power of the SNES. That same year, Nintendo released "Donkey Kong Country", another amazing title visually. "Yoshi's Island" features sprite scaling and rotation (advertised as "Morphmation" technology), basic polygonal rendering for limited 3D effects, and advanced parallax scrolling.
BAD:
In keeping with the H.P. Lovecraft references, this place is hugely reminiscent of At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Out of Time. The utterly alien City of the Ancients is deserted, bewildering, and more than a little unnerving in its strangeness (a quality enhanced by its ominous exclusive BGM). This place is a cornucopia of mystery, and everyone who might have been capable of unlocking all its secrets is dead. The Forgotten City has a kind of eldritch beauty about it that makes you glad to depart and reluctant to return. Even modern 128-bit games have trouble being this atmospheric.
I was blown away.
4555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not as great as the 2nd and 3rd T.H but, It was somethin I grew up with, It came on-time and was in really great condition!
Overall, this is one of the best games I have ever played. It is still fun after years of gameplay, as you never fully run out of stuff to do. If you want to get into Pokmon, or if you're an old fan that never quite got around to getting the game, this is the game for you! Pokmaniacs rule!
There are six worlds:
The whole game is just a lot of fun, and I'd continue playing it ever after beating it.
Replay Value:7/10
1. It depends too much on mouse clicks. Another reviewer called this game the Death by 1,000 Clicks (or something along those lines). I have gotten used to this, but getting used to something doesn't mean you have to like it.
3222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You pick from 15 characters
3590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I normally don't write a review when I see over 100 reviews already posted. I felt I should add some things here.
2023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got it quick and as described.
This is definitely a fun game that will always have replay value.
UPDATE: Apparently I was quite harsh on the game, considering that the controls are actually not as bad as I made them out to be. I managed to defeat
However, Dark Reign 2 does fall down in one important area - gameplay. The developers have obviously put a lot of effort into the appearance of the game, but failed to pay attention to gameplay. For instance, many of the missions require your units to navigate narrow valleys, and the pathfinding AI isn't up to the challenge. It's ridiculous seeing a squad of scorpion tanks jostle for position in a narrow valley. The poor pathfinding AI really shows in the last two missions, which take place in a large (and very beautiful looking city). I had to bring a scaver (which is a repair bot) to a particular location. Instead of making a beeline for that location, the unit careered over the entire map...and then got blown up by enemy units.
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
The gameplay is unique to this series. It is vaguely similar to the Final Fantasy series, freestyle when you are walking around, but during fights, it changes to a turn based setup. All of a sudden an interface pops up and your character's traits and skills give rise to a subdivision of options. There are many things to consider, like action points, luck, trademark blows, health, and zoning in (body\head\limb shots)... the list goes on and on. Within this there are quirks that can help even more (e.g. there is a quick draw quirk you may obtain that can allow you to draw first blood in most fights)... you can even close shop and try to run! Also take into account the many many many different weapons available to you from knives, guns, explosives. Boost your stats with some drugs but risk getting addicted (you will have to continue to find and use). There is so much here and the interface makes it so easy to access and utilise all of it.
Okay, back to the good stuff. This game is not designed for everybody. It's very difficult and geared toward advanced gamers looking for a gameplay challenge. Note the keyword "gameplay". This game is NOT an interactive movie... Remember in the past FF games how tedious the random battles became? You dreaded moving along the map, wondering when the next battle would use up even more of your time.
Other little touches add nice depth. If you want to leave a hunt, you have to go through a brief waiting period ("Preparing for evacuation"), meaning that if you're being chased by a hungry dinosaur, you cant just leave the game instantly. You can change the amount of dinosaurs in a hunting area to suit your tastes (fancy hunting three T-rex's at once?). There's even a feature where you can view your trophies in a hunting room.
2363 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is full of it. i remember playing it as a kid and i always wanted to get it again, so i did.
2. Way too many cutscenes! I've never seen anything like it. There's one cut scene that goes on for like 30 minutes. This has got to be the talkiest video game I've ever played. And these dialogues are all so silly, and you're pretty much forced to watch them or you won't be able to understand what's going on. In fact, I would say that most of your time in this game will be spent watching cutscenes. It's not so much a video game as a movie in which you are occasionally allowed to press buttons.
It is kind of dissapointing that they couldn't try to make some better video games with racing at the time, but there are so many better choices to the Nintendo 64. If you're really into the racing feel of the Nintendo 64, I suggest you either get Mario Kart 64, Rush 2, or the sequel to Crus'n U.S.A. : Crus'n World.
Star Wars: Rouge Squadron
5256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can be said about this masterpiece? This game is utterly amazing in every aspect. The plot is full of so many details. It relates to things that we know about. Not everything is just hoopla made up by the game designers. The action and the thinking parts of the game are superbly balanced. You're not just running around, fighting people. There's parts were you have to be stealthy, part's were you have to think. Man, this is just a milestone in video game history. And wouldn't you like to partake of the sweetness that is Metal Gear Solid? I assume your answer was yes, and the only way to do partake of it is to buy it. So do it.
2653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 streetfighter is a must have for the streetfighter fan everywhere
The action in the game is very fun indeed. You have to penetrate the opponent's base and get inside with out being killed by the team mates and the turrets. Once inside you take out weapon generaters and armor disposels. If you succeed in destroying all their main targets, your team wins.
8958 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent Classic game. I dream of owning this awesome game has become a reality *teary eyed*
6773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it. enjoy playing the game, enjoy watching son play this game that I played when i was his age.
5800 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Well, I wish I could play some of these levels! Sometimes, that's made impossible because they're so dark. I wish it would save my game, too, but it never has. There are patches available for bigger mistakes on their site. I would give anything not to watch those grating cutscenes again and again. The voices are all quite annoying and stilted, though you get the sense the Eidos guys thought the old man at the beginning might have been - he gets tiresome immediately (my child this, my child that, this is how you jump -WAIT!- this is how you jump). Lara is still a bimbo character and it's insulting to both genders, a cynical view of the audience (I wish she would stop breathing heavily!). The controls are difficult. The puzzle elements are still worthwhile, though they are a poor man's Zelda. The 16 year-old Lara was unnecessary, when she gets her backpack we're supposed to care. The likelyhood of her and the old man being in these Cambodian ruins in the daytime and running through it like a preschool adventure playset is small. They seem to toss old TR elements like climbing vines and throwing levers in all the wrong places, these elements are repeated, and there seems to be little real joy in all of it, like they toss the elements out until the game ends. The level designs are unlogical, they detract from the realism that the games used to have and added so much to it. That's why you are bothered when you die from a giant spinning spike wheel that magically floats, not because it's hard, but because you just don't believe things like that are there, it's as though the game breaks it's own rules. I feel like the levels could all have gone a lot further if they just did some heavy internet research on the areas available to play (Egypt has stars and spikes?). Overall, I feel this game was well worth my [money], but the series needs to improve or it will surely die. Undoubtedly, the first Two TR games were the best, they need to return to that, these new games feel like a...commercial spectacle. What I enjoy most about the series is the realism that there can sometimes be, and the puzzles, but mostly the scenery and locales, the action is just the backdrop to me. Buy the first 2 games before thinking about getting this.
8420 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Do not even assume for a moment that Star Trek: Armada has any resemblance to Relic's Homeworld, the two are about as closely related as Woody Allen is to Arnold Schwarzengger. First off, it has the longest install process of any game I have ever played, and I have a 48x CD-ROM drive. Second, the interface is monstrous, even though it looks elegant and simple. While positioning ships is easy, (and it should be since they only move in 2 dimensions), there is no real sense of scale, plus they have a tendency to `bump' into objects like space stations and other ships. Secondly, the instant they see an enemy ship, any vessel you control within weapons' range automatically opens fire, taking interaction down a notch. Also unlike Homeworld the user cannot assign formations to his ships, making dispersement messy.
Gameplay (10/10): This is my catch-all category. The game is just chock full of extras and side-quests. Plenty to explore and accomplish. The side-quests are a good balance of combat related things (like destroying the Weapon monsters) and more relaxing non-combat things (like racing and breeding chocobos). The controls are easy to use and are rather intuitive. I really have no complaints.
2118 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is an early military simulation type game, and pretty much obsolete, basically a mediocre pastiche of other stuff being done at the time. The graphics are supposed to be photo realistic but they aren't, the ideal in these types of games is that it should look like a helmet cam worn by a soldier in real life. Everything looks very matter of fact... This isn't a beautiful game to behold. The psn version that I have glitches and freezes up often, I don't know if that was a problem in the original or not but it probably was. The Gabe Logan 3D model is the worst that I've seen in a ps1 game, he has a Sasquatch body with a Lego character face, and stands and walks like Sasha Mitchell. That has nothing to do with the limitations of the system but instead it's a limitation of the artistic ability of the people working on the game. Controls are pretty close to as bad as it gets, very hard to steer your character, mostly worthless auto-lock targeting. There is some creativity to the level design, some okay variety, but there was better stuff being made back then. I stopped playing a level or two after the helicopter boss, because the enemies start wearing super flak jackets that take more than one clip, it turns into a head hunting game where you have to go into manual targeting mode and are left a sitting duck unable to move from the sucky controls.
4232 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I finally got around to playing the entire Gabriel Knight series. For the rest of you who haven't, you're missing out. These are positively the best 3rd person adventure games ever made.
3045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I spent pretty much a whole mounth of my life just playin this game and i don't regret it. This game is just so intence it pretty much starts to rub off on you a lil bit. THe story is very deep and even change a lil depending on how you play the game. Alas they're are people who should never play this game ever. I like to call these people morons because all they can do while playing this is complain about the graphics. People need to look beyond graphics to see weather are not its worth playing.
9360 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I didn't expect alot from Max Payne, as the hype around it dulled my senses. I bought the game on a whim, and wow.. I was blow away. Technically, the game has no equal for graphics, the camera work makes you feel like your in a movie. The gameplay is very well done, although the AI is moderate, it can still provide a challenge. The key to the game is the storyline. Your heart goes out to this character, I more than once felt as though I would well up a tear for what this fellow goes through. The soundtrack and vocals are excellent adding so much more depth to the story. My only beef with this game is that it is EXTREMELY mature oriented. The graphic violence, blood, and various inuendos throughout the game should really be dealt with by adults. I haven't tried the parental "lock" version, however I can't help but wonder if they could take out all the stuff I would be concerned with my kids seeing. Max Payne is going to go on my shelf as one of the best games I've ever played.
Naval Piranha's Castle
The point of Pokemon is simple: catch cute, little, animated talking monsters with magic, plastic balls, and use them to kick the living daylights out of the cute talking monsters of your enemies. So in truth, it's a lot like real life.
1049 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is defanitly worth the time and money.(...)You can choose from either mario grand prix,VS.,battle,or time trial.
6489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game, arrived quickly!
9716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This can be a very confusing game. The levels especially Minions Maze are. There are many cheat codes to enter, but graphics are good and levels interesting. If I can say one thing rent this before you buy it.
Overall, great game! I highly recommend it. My only suggestion is that if you go on Battlenet, try to keep your sense of humor.
2283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Heroes will be EXTREMELY AWESOME!!!!!!!! I haven't played it yet, but I know it will be great, and hopefully the bad camera views from the Adventure series will be vanished.
911 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rareware - words fail me. Again they have made a quality title beyond imagination. Creative beyond a shadow of a doubt. 95 % of people agree, that Banjo-Kazooie is a landmark title with everything the N64 has to offer, and that it is worthy of 5 out of 5 stars . While developed early in N64's lifespan, the graphics stand out beyond many titles recently released. The sound is equally as impressive (for N64), and the game has been cleverly melded with it to make you feel as the atmosphere of the game has changed, depending on your situation.
Finally the multiplayer is wayyyyyy overrated. I remember playing it with 4 other players all day for a couple days and never feeling into it. the quad split screen was a big nuisance. Thank goodness for online play today - the games today completely own goldeneye in every category, especially the funfactor.
Overall, it's a really fun game with a nice plotline, gorgeous music, and smooth, well-thought-out gameplay. Anyone who likes tactical games should enjoy this one.
7028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works absolutely perfectly. I'm a very happy customer!
Hail Flavius
3007 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very fun. Though this game does have graphics that aren't nearly as good as, say, Final Fantasy X or Final Fantasy XII, it is still an extremely fun and addicting game. I would suggest this game to any one who likes video games and owns a playstation.
1941 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game the day it came out,I was very impressed then and this game still impresses me today,Ilove the story and Leon is my favort charicter. Thats why I am looking foward to RE4 for Gamecube.
cool boss battles
45 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very nicely put together. Crisp and clean and very good detail.
9671 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loves pokemon and would play nonstop if he could. I cannot tell you about the game itself as I do not play video games.
It's all fun and games, until you've developed a tension headache trying to look at the bad graphics and camera angles, and flung your controller across the room because you just don't feel like attempting that same jump for the 89th time. Please, stay away from this one. Don't become an accomplice to anymore game companies trying to cash in on a movie franchise.
The gameplay is still awesome, but they couldve most definitely refined the camera, and maybe done a better job with the boss battles, but all in all, it is still fun. Something that must be mentioned, however, is the final, bonus level. The player must already have 100% completion, but it is completely worth it. Without spoiling anything, just know that it is the best level in the entire game.
6677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in the day, when Game Boy was released to the ravenous gaming public in 1989, Tetris and Super Mario Land were among the first few games that everyone couldn't put down. The graphics of SML take after 1985's Super Mario Bros. for the NES, only portable. And instead of Mario having to rescue Princess Toadstool, it is Princess Daisy that's in peril this time around. :(
6189 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was exactly what was to be expected and works like a charm!
3909 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the second best computer game of all time as far as I am concerned (only supassed by Half-life). The graphics are kind of dated now but the gameplay is still soild and loads of fun.
Sound in this game is awesome. Your craft has a cool engine sound, and the voice telling you you've about to get hit by a missile is classic. But what really blows my mind is the soundtrack. It is my favorite game soundtrack of all time. I copied the whole thing off of the game and burned it onto a cd, because it's so great. And when I first ripped it off the cd onto my hard drive, people were downloading the tracks like crazy. Imagine that.

9965 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 A 'fun' arcade game it may well have been in it's day, but one cannot play Moonwalker today without feeling dirty or somewhat guilty. Based on the 'movie' of the same name, Moonwalker is just as weird, bizarre and outrageously self-glorifying as Wacko Jacko himself.
ONSLAUGHT
There are also hidden items, characters and power ups for Mario to find.
So far I like it, I didn't get it for the lavender town rumor, you can just go on YouTube and listen to it with headphones to see your opinion.
327 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And now I can sit back far enough to see my entire TV and avoid wielders burn in my retina. So simple, yet so obvious a necessity given how freaken short the big "N" made their controller's cords. Buy them now and heal your spine!
7286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From Circuits to battles to just plain awesome maps, F-Zero X has consistently given gamers a classic futuristic racing style to turn to. Right up their with the N64 Bests, F-Zero has been a game that has continually been remade and reworked, but it all starts here. Pick your copy up today.
2547 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works great
Thd 3D graphics are colorful and saturated. There is also voice acting and some interesting levels.
And finally, my least favourite aspect of Dark Reign 2 is, oddly enough...the graphics. This is purely a matter of personal taste. I've noticed that Pandemic give their objects a rounded soft-focus look that I'm not too comfortable with. I've never really liked the polygonal look of most objects in 3D-accelerated games...even Quake 3 has the same appearance (curved surfaces notwithstanding).
3002 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best RPG ever. That just involves you the player. Other people will argue that diablo or warcraft are superior. This game offers you a minnimum of 60 hour of game play. Lot of side quests. Great story line. And you won't have to divorce your significant other over it, because you're playin with some kid on the other side of the country you don't know. Graphics are about the best for the era from which the game came from. If you are lookning for a good RPG with a good story, this is it. I've had my copy for 15 years. Ever 5 years or so I just get an itch to play it again.
Now I will tell you the beginning of the Story so you can even feel more excited about getting this game.
The product was received as expected.
8378 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I must say I actually love this game !!! Its addictive. You get to use strategy to complete missions. Plus you get to play as the Borg, Klingons, Romulans, and of course the Federation. Has the actors from the TV shows doing voices as well. Put this on your birthday or christmas list. Can't wait for the next one !!!
The music was done by a member of the rock band the Police, Stewart Copeland. People may not realize it, but certain themes in Spyro the Dragon are *very* close to some of the songs that made the Police such a legendary rock band. Stewart Copeland may have intentionally created the music in this game to match that of the Police, specifically the songs "walking on the moon" and "message in a bottle". You'll soon realize that the same guy who created the music in this game also played a big part in creating those Police songs. The music in Spyro the Dragon is also very catchy and appropriate for the level you're in. No complaints. The music is fantastic.
The biggest improvement in the game was the user interface. I think AOE2 has the most advanced user interface ever introduced in a real-time strategy game. It makes it extremely easy to control the formation and behaviour of your troops, and queing units is a snap.
22 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's not exactly like previous Hitman games, but it is still true enough to the series and fun in its own right to be a good game. Not great, but worth the sale price. SCORE: 80/100.
I would complain about the length, but for the time it came out, it was your average length. Plus the replay value is good. The levels, as I said, are brilliant, so you want to play through them more than once, and Mario=Fun, so you will want to play through this game atleast a couple times. All in all, the length disappoints for the time it is now(2003), but it's still good, and was normal for it's time.
8274 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 10 star would buy from again thank you.
7228 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game, as a platformer has a simple yet addictive goal. Rescue all the mudokons (green aliens with hippy ponytails and emotional as cheese which is very emotional) by chanting by a ring of birds and creating a portal back to...where do they live?
The CONS: Due to cartridge limitations, Rare had to make cuts here and there. You will see missing frames of animations, flat 2D settings instead of the original 3D look the stages had in the arcade version, graphics running on a lower resolution setting and the music tracks playing in the background of matches are instrumental compared to the arcade versions where you heard it with the lyrics spoken (hence the reason why the music CD was included???) These are just minor quips as it doesn't deter from the overall gaming experience.
7377 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When it comes to video games, it's amazing how we sometimes overlook staple video game characters. Despite the amount of respect I've held towards Mario in general the games always seem to be at the bottom of my current backlog of gaming titles. As much as I don't want to insinuate that these games can't satisfy more mature gamers (a thought that is just ludicrous) does such an idea subconsciously lurk within my mind? It's hard to say. Still, when I saw a copy of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins at the local Game X-Change I knew I had been away for too long. I knew it had to be replayed.
6443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recently borrowed this game from my freind thinking it was going to be a boring warcraft/starcraft wannabe what I got was even better than I expected! There are 13 races to choose from each with different characters and buildings so they is unlimited gameplay. Sometimes the battles can be difficult and frustrating but you always find yourself coming back for more.
Squall Leonhart is our protagonist. Our Holden Caulfield. Our kid that wants to make everything better, but doesn't want to be at the forefront of the stage. Unfortunately, his talent quickly pushes him to the front and he is forced to lead his compatriots, SeeD (and one young love interest that's part of a rebel alliance to restore freedom), to destroy the sorceress(es). He is more about questioning the world and his place in it, very teenage, instead of beating the crap out of the threat to the world. A lot more effort was put into the questions of memory, place in the world, purpose, and love. This, although brilliant for character development, left little time for us to enjoy or even feel motivated to kick some sorceress butt. For that reason, the game gets four stars.
There is the typical one-on-one match-up as well as Tag Team match-up, and even a Survivor Series elimination match. But the biggest flaw is the fact that there are no finishers. You won't see Hogan's leg drop, Savage's flying elbow, Earthquake's butt-splash or the Doomsday Device. It is just a simple finger-blistering grapple war, and no tournament or campaign mode means that there is no real reason to play more than a single match of the game, nor is there any point to selecting a character.
It isn't the story (alone), c'mon let's be honest, it's an average fantasy tale, if made into a movie I'd fall asleep after 10 minutes.
1510 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fun game even though you can complete the game within hours
While the game is very good in a lot of ways there are two things that hold it back a little:
When you play it, you see why it was the best one for so long. Only when Ocarina of Time (one of the greatest games ever made, bar none) came out did it unseat A Link to the Past as best Zelda game, but it really is an unfair comparison...
Sound: 10
Not exactly a mind boggling challenge, but for the younger set, it's a fun romp!
For those brave souls who wish to do it alone (which, by the by, I VERY, VERY HIGHLY reccomend your first time through), do it right. Play it in the dark, late at night, ALONE, with some good speakers set up. If you're new to it, start at the beginning, and enjoy the first part of the game. It's a slow starter, but once it gets going, the only reason it lets up is to allow you to contemplate exactly what else it's going to do to you.
Replay : 10/10 (The card game.. hehe)
The main PC is a recently resurrented immortal and his first ally is a floating skull. I have almost finished the game and my weapon of choice through most of it was my own severed arm! How can you not love that?
Mario Kart 64
If you like FPS's, just buy. Unreal Tournament is a gift from the game gods.
6487 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Not original discs reproduction fake. Poor quality garbage.
773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is game was based on the movie and they hit it spot on! Playing the levels are fun, but this is the perfect game to play if you are just sitting around with a few friends talkin about the old times.
I have to tell you though I was impressed by what I saw. Perhaps it was because I was expecting a terrible sequel but Call to Power (Civ 3) is a better surprise compared to Civilization 2. There are more changes and the game is more complex. As a matter of fact, I find this game more challenging than the previous two.
3761 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's interesting to note, now that Diablo II has come out, how many of the improvements Darkstone incorporated into the Diablo play model are now found in Diablo II. Darkstone has a "previously visited locations" menu that allows you to reduce the tedium of having to navigate a lot of area you've cleaned out already; Diablo II has "waypoints". Darkstone had extra skills which you could customize classes with, as does Diablo II. Darkstone had a populated wilderness area, as does Diablo II.

9322 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was a launch title in the early 90's for the Sega Saturn and it still holds the test of time. A 3D rail shooter with a great sound track. You have to play this game through an entertainment center to get the full scope of this game.
574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works just fine. old school just the way it should be. a huge improvement from twisted metal II. Still old school graphics but it still is fun to play.

6747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this product may be old, but don't overlook it. This system has a selection of fun games including super Mario land and Dr Mario
Buy the DX version which has added color ...yes brought to you in techno COLOR!
Be sure to check the internet for fan sites full of downloadables. New levels, skins, etc. There are several official addons from the developers that are freely downloadable! These add new levels including some that were available only on the beta versions.
So yeah: but it, play it, have fun. It ain't fillet mignon, but sometimes you're just in the mood for some quick and cheap junk food.
One of the best features of the game is the cast of characters, and their characterization. These are perhaps the most-fleshed out and realistic characters ever seen in an RPG. Each one has a very distinct and well-defined personality. (And when anyone says that Squall, the lead character, has no personality, please ignore them. He does have a clear personality... which just so happens to be extremely low-key, calm, and cool.) The story itself is unlike any other RPG you've ever played. Rather than the the complex and grandiose epic that was FFVII or the operatic and sweeping FFVI, FFVIII is a bit more along the lines of a mystery intertwined with a romance. Gameplay is also radically shifted from the norm. Magic spells are taken from enemies rather than learned by leveling or unlocked from items. These spells can then be attatched to a character's various stats in order to boost them. For those who love micro-management, it's heaven.
2906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's no doubt that ff7 is one of the most famous games of all time. This was the first main series ff game I beat, and it was fantastic. The story is very deep and complex, and can be confusing some times. But, if you do some research, it can be easy to understand. The villain, Sephiroth, is definitely a highlight. He's like Darth Vader, and at the end of the game, you'll want to destroy him so much! The cast is great, and very likable, They all have a moment in the story where there is some really good character development. The graphics haven't aged the best, and it is very blocky in some cases. it can look very dated. But, as you go on, it gets pretty charming and you enjoy it. The FMVs are fine, and some cases are hilarious. The gameplay is very well done. It's a turn-based RPG, but it does require a lot of skill. There's a time bar that charges, and as it's done, you can act. Enemies won't wait for you, but they also much charge. Limit breaks will charge as you take damage, and they are attacks that do insane damage. You can equip material, which gives you magic, stat increases, or even new commands. The combat is a ton of fun, and super enjoyable. Final Fantasy 7 is a great time no matter what, and I think everybody should give it a try! Get it on the PSN if you can, that's how I played it!
2245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Turns out I didn't need this after all, but it is an essential item for playing many N64 games and I am glad that I have it.
Never the less, it is still worth getting.
7093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games of all time. This is the best FPS (First Person Shooter) I have played to date, so when this first came out it blew me away. There's a great multiplayer combat mode where you can make a custom character with two options (Head and Body). You can face up to 8 sims. You don't need two players to play the combat mode. You can make teams (So you don`t have to kill your friends). You can make a custom list of weapons. It saves your stats on your player profile and gives you awards. You can create a whole game (Enemy Sims, Level, Weapons, Limits, and teams) and save it. If you like any FPS games, you have to get this one!
3338 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 To be frank, this is what got me hooked on Pac-Man. After I tried the original Mrs. Pac-Man, I wondered about the other version. I'd heard good things about it, and that it was a very good game, but I wasn't so sure. Then I tried my cousin's Game Boy version of it and I loved it too. Pretty soon, I had forgot in favor of my now favorite video game series, Crash Bandicoot. Then, we went game shopping in Toys R Us, and I saw it. The 1st thing that popped into my mind was, "That's a Cool Looking Pac-Man." Since mny dad had said no more Crash games for a bit, I asked him for this. I loved Pac-Man World's graphics, game play, controls, worlds, and the challenge. I was hooked.
Also try: Final Fantasy 3
I love all of these games and to tell you the truth Resident Evil 2 was my favorite it had the most intresting characters (Claire Redfield & Leon Kennedy) i think and story line was awesome and even better the graphics on the N64!!! so i recommend this game 2 anyone who isn't afraid of bloodshed (ALOT)
5794 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 by far one of the best rpg's out there! the graphics are just fantastic. this game really makes you think, and you will still miss secrets, making this game purchase worthy!
Joanna Dark is a futuristic secret agent who gets tangled in a plot involving a corrupt business corporation, a plan to kidnap the US President, and an alien partner named Elvis. Rare packed so much into this cartridge that it's hard to find a place to begin. Graphics are stellar, with massive levels and real lighting. All characters are motion-captured and move with realism, and the reloading animations for the weapons are some of the coolest you'll ever see (like the alien sniper rifle that absorbs its clips, or the sub-machine gun which reads ammo like a scanner). The one-player mode alone will keep a person busy for hours. Enemies have strong artifical intelligence - they don't run into your gunfire, they hold back, wait for reinforcements, or dodge and attack from another angle. Mission objectives increase as the difficulty level increases, and real stealth is required to make it through alive; in short, the only way to win is to completely immerse yourself in Joanna Dark's world, and pretend everyone is flesh-and-blood real. Aiding in this virtual reality is Dolby 5.1 surround sound, so you can hear bullets whiz by or track enemies by the sound of their voice.
It was 1998, I was 14 years old and I was spending the night at a friend's house, and he said "You wanna play Resident Evil 2?" We popped in Leon's quest in and BAM! The rest is history.
6277 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After years of coveting my friends Super Nintendo, I finally got my first gaming console. In the Christmas of 1996, the Nintendo 64 arrived.
Replay Value: 9/10
We were lucky on this mission. No major damage and only one injury. We also failed. Our bombs came down nowhere near the target. One of the more arcane skills you can learn in this game is using the Norden bomb sight, adjusting for wind drift and making all the necessary adjustments to ensure an accurate drop. After unloading, pop down to the target view and wait for the thunderous explosion that signals the arrival of your bombs.
What original ideas. You can be a warrior, conjurer or wizard. You come from Earth, you're sent into another dimension where you are the Only Hope. Even worse, you're a male from a Florida trailer park whose idea of fun is crushing beer cans against his forehead while rebuilding truck engines. Let's talk about the anti-good-gaming ideal.
2408 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very fun game, possibly the best "racing game" I have played. I normally find them very dull, "Nascar 64 anyone?" However, as a racing game, I enjoyed this immensely.
9869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Forget about all the others that came after this one. They aren't anywhere near as great as this one is! This the first one and ORIGINAL! The Best one of them all! If you have the opportunity to get this game here than go for it.
Build Wonders of the World (which give you special traits)
There are 6 levels in each of the first 5 worlds. There is a hub level, which leads to the other 5, a flying level (more on that in a bit), 3 main levels, and a mini-boss level (more on that as well). Each level has treasure for Spyro to collect and the only levels that have no dragons to free are the flying levels. The main levels are fairly linear, but they have some diverging pathways for Spyro to explore (and maybe find some secrets, too).
Cyber Akuma
its really fun and cool. Its pretty much as violent as the
9512 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have a GBC and you don't have one of these then you don't really have a fully functional GBC ;-)
A cool effect of the game is that every person says something when you right click on them. I had fun just by doing that in a city. Sometimes in the game, Caesar sends you requests and if you don't fulfill them, he gets angry and chucks you out the city, taking away your place of mayor.
The voice acting is atrociously bad. It's almost as if they didn't even care if they were any good or not. But as with the dated graphics, it kind of gives the game a weird charm at the same time. It seemed as though they re-used assets late in the game. Perhaps this was a technical limitation of what can fit on a PS1 disc, I'm not sure. Some of the bosses are incredibly hard if you run out of ammo, and if you don't have a previous save to revert to you could essentially get stuck and have to restart from scratch.
My only regrets are paying extremely high prices for individual new/sealed guides a year ago before this set was announced. I paid closer to $200 to get them all brand new on eBay. This set will surely devalue my existing ones since I'm planning on now reselling them. But I had to get this set since it included the OoT 3D guide that you can't get separately.
957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It plays great and i look forward to beating my fance. We place bets on who will win and the looser has to do the chores.
Control: Perfect Dark is a first-person shooter, and the controls work pretty well by N64 FPS standards. They're completely customizable, too. I prefer to play it with the analog for aiming and the C-buttons for moving, but you can do the opposite (which is the default setup) or even flip the thing around and use the D-pad. There's also the option to use two N64 controllers to simulate analogs, but I find anyone doing that hard to imagine.
3969 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spent many a sleepless night playing this game. They *finally* got it right! If you ever thought you could build the best roller coaster and wanted to see what it's like to actually ride it, you gotta get this game. It's so much fun to walk around in "camcorder" mode and check out the park you've built. Plus, getting on a ride and watching all these doe-eyed, chubby-cheeked kids screaming their heads off... too funny! Great, non-violent, non-stop entertainment. Make sure you've got a decent system - at least a P2-300 and a good 3D card as it does start to slow down once the park fills up.
The Cave of the Bandits
5909 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is quite simply the best action titles I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. In fact it ranks as one of my top three favorite games. So what makes this game so great? Every aspect of this game lives up to its original premise (and title). You ARE a thief. This is definitely not your average first-person blast-fest. In fact, the best course of action is to avoid combat at all costs. Stealth, concealment, quietness, and thinking are what counts here. The enemy artificial intelligence is some of the best I have seen. Enemies will here you if you make too much noise, see you if too much light shines on your hiding place, call for help, and generally behave like living and breathing people. Plus, the later enemies are some of the scariest I've seen. The story is superb, the weapon selection perfect (love the black-jack), and the atmosphere extremely well fleshed out. The cutscenes are some of the best in gaming and the voice-acting is top-notch. To summarize, this is one of the best action titles to ever come down the pipe. No gamer should miss it.
John McAdam, author of:
Last some of the missions in the game are just plain novice or fillers in my opinion. This game is geared towards people who like to pilot huge ships yet we have a lot of missions devoted to speed boats for stunts, hover boats etc. I bought the game to simulate a ship expirience not go around flipping in speed boats.
1014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I possibly say about this game that hasn't been said a million times.
7017 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game arrived quickly and as described. I am happy with this purchase. Thank you
When the game starts the user is treated to a rather nicely rendered opening scene with lots of fleet action between Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Borg vessels that culminates on an all-out run on Borg Cubes. (Though one wonders how Picard can face down Locutus since they are the same guy. Did the Borg clone Picard?) Unfortunately, the game doesn't deliver anywhere near the excitement generated by a 3 minute opening segue. At the title screen you have a choice to play a series of missions as either the Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Borg and they all must be played before arriving at the finale mission. Overall, the game seems to have been slapped together to capitalize on the franchise, lacking both the quality and substance that LucasArts has put into their Star Wars line of games. Armada lacks the epic scope of similar games like Homeworld or even Starcraft. If you changed the space scapes to ground and the starships to Zerg or Protoss units, Armada would be Starcraft, except not as much fun.
1380 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In these decades of the digital world with superior hardware and high definition graphics, I don't believe gamers will ever encounter the same life changing experience as those who have first hand seen Mario evolve into a 3D masterpiece. The Nintendo 64 is the best console of its time HANDS DOWN!! and Super Mario 64 is a MASTERPIECE.
2-player mode, and good sound. The only flaw in this game is... well... their are no flaws, this game gets a SOLID 5. Thanks for reading my review. Happy Gaming. P.S. Don't buy Pokemon Snap... Thanks!

7740 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Really enjoy playing this game
7538 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I own this game for my Super Nintendo, and it's pretty cool. Although, it's not cool enough to get a 5 star rating from me. I've beat it a few times. It has a cool story structure, but it could have better items. When you beat a dungeon, you get a pendant, instead of an Essance, Mask, or Medallian. There are three dungeons in all. You can go between the real world and the dark realm to advance in your journey! That's pretty cool. It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not! See ya!
5381 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 5 STARS! BEST DOOM I HAVE EVER PLAYED!
8294 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No joking around, this game is straight up perfection. There are better games, more fun games, but no game I have played was so flawlessly executed as Mega Man X. From the very first level, to the very end, you are presented with crisp and detailed graphics, absolutely flawless controls, and music that to this day I have much of on my Ipod.
2437 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is a classic
I've also noticed the PS version's fair factor when it comes to playing the AI is programmed to only really allow expert players to be able to beat the heavyweight division. Once you get to the Royal Rumble, no matter what difficulty it is on, it seems the computer is out to defeat you no matter what. Even for me I found it more difficult then any other version of this game... that may be something some gamers want, but to me, I thought it may play a key factor in come people playing this game and giving up on it, and not realizing the potential of how much fun you can have playing it. Shouldn't "Very Easy" mode make it very easy to clock the game for new comers or those not familiar with Mortal Kombat style executions?
Anyway, I love the game, I introduced this game to my 6 year old who doesn't play, but likes to watch me play. One bit of IMPORTANT advice I can give you as help is to use your EARS!!! Yep, recognize the sounds of Myst. Not just the sights!! It helped me to overcome the underground subway level. Had it not been for another area where I learned to recognize certain sounds I would've been lost in there for a long time!!!
Mount Mayhem: Significantly harder than Coventry Cove, this course takes you on a trip through a decked-out mountain, with many surprises and shortcuts and even a ski jump that you can take your car off of.
I was hugehly dissopointed as I thought this would be a rival to Half Life and would easily be the best first person shooter of the year (to which Soldier Of Fortune holds the crown so far for me). This game rivals Doom but I think you'll find Doom is 10 times better! Still, it gets a star for the 4 ages idea and em... a star for the logo and nice box!
Released in 1996--about 2 years after the debut of the Playstation console--the Nintendo 64 picked up steam fast. Games such as Super Mario 64, Zelda's Ocarina of Time, and Mario Kart 64, it's no wonder Nintendo's new system did so well.
+ Four levels of difficulty, even for the deathmatch mode.
So, Kirby is known as a pink blob that sucks things up and copies enemy abilities, right? Well, here, since it IS the first Kirby game, you don't get to obtain enemy powers whatsoever. You'll be happy to know, however, that it doesn't affect the platforming experience badly at all. In fact, Kirby's Dream Land as a whole is spectacular.
I think I'll sell it the first chance I get. I don't care what kind of games you like, don't get this one at all.
So yeah, the Super NES game is really fun since you can't go wrong focusing the gameplay on platforming, but it's clear the Genesis version wins due to the stronger gameplay, using sword swinging combat, and the MUCH bigger and more animated game overall.
-Sometimes puzzles are harder than neccesary
9246 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very cool game. I think it is better than Donkey kong land 3. In dk2 there is 40 levels and collect 40 DC coins. You get to be Diddy and his girlfriend Dixie kong. The cool part is that Dixie Kong can fly with her hair spinning. This is a very cool game and it is just like the one in the nintando system.
I won't go out on any limb and say that it's one of the best games ever, or even one of the best games for the Super Nintendo; but I will say that it provided me with plenty of hours of entertainment, and the incredibly rich, charming gameplay along with the silly sense of humor dotted throughout the game keep me coming back every year or so to do it all over again. I've outgrown a lot of things in this old world, but I've never outgrown this fantastic original.
Game play - 9/10: The puzzles in this game were just hard enough to give you the feeling of accomplishment. I loved the mazes in this game because most of the dungeons had a 360-degree camera control, with a nice little compass to point you in the right direction. My advice is to use the compass if you get lost. (You will get lost at some point) This game has 50+ hours of game play.
3688 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first told my friends I thought about getting a Dreamcast they warned me that I should go with something else. But I found sega to be respectable in the past so I figured that I would go with this machine. I was not disappointed one bit and my friends were a little caught off guard I would go against their advice. But I thought that it was a very good machine and Its graphics just blew me away. I liked its play as far as Sonic Adventure, cause I've always liked those types of games. What also drew me to the Dreamcast was the ability to have Arcade games like House of the Dead 2 blasting out of my Television. So I found that the Dreamcast came to the appeal to me
You can't beat that!
9933 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Following the lead of the previous year's Japanese-only PC-Engine classic Dracula X: Chi no Rondo (Rondo of Blood,) Bloodlines is highly ambitious in attempting to create a sense of a bridge between the old CastleVania and the new. It even copies the Dracula X Chi no Rondo "boss that throws a ton of the bosses you've already beaten" formula, but it allows you to fall back on the trusty old password system. The game is even, but it fails to rank among the best games in the series for a number of reasons.
7784 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best in the Zelda series. Great music, level design, and game play. If you liked any of the GB zelda games you'll like this and if you are just getting into Zelda this is a must play.

4249 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After I started playing this game, I realized that I had a history of Simulation Addiction -- having played five or more simulations, including the recent hit "The Sims." Roller Coaster Tycoon is definitely one of the best sims out there (and there are many other theme park sims to choose from).
Transparent purple: Every button worked, but the analog stick would not go %100. Jamming it to the right shows only a slight movement even though I moved it %100. Windows configuration was impossible since the C buttons kept firing like someone was pressing them all madly.

314 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No problems. Plugged it into my son's old SD TV that has one AV input and it works just fine. I have threee different connections going in and he does not have any trouble switching between any of them. Cheap and easy fix to an old TV.
The gameplay is pretty straight forward. You run around 3D designed levels, breaking objects and defeating enemies all the while trying to progress to your arch-nemsis - Dr. Cortex - with the hope of saving your friend.
I'm not sure, but I think the PS2 version is missing some textures. Particularly when flying, the shadow below the characters is missing. The shadow is critical for knowing where you will land. Without it, it just makes things all the more difficult. I think the shadow is present in the Gamecube version.

The fun never stops! If you have an SNES, get this game. If you don't, then buy the system and this game. You'll regret it.
9315 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived quickly and as described.
It's the second easiest game of the three Zelda's I've played. Twilight Princess, although very in depth, was easy and Majora's Mask was the hardest but only because I kept running out of time when doing certain tasks. Ganon was hard for me to kill at first but I think now that I've played it enough and therefore fought him enough I know what to expect and I can now anticipate what he's going to do and react accordingly.
The levels are Sunny Mountain, Turtle Island (probably my favorite), Jingle Town, Wendy's House (my second favorite), Linda's Castle, Crazy Jungle, Starlight Highway, The Haunted House, Ice Land, Snowboard Street and X-Course.
The game displays incredibly deep writing and thought: all of the major characters, including yourself and your companions, are complex, deep /people/ with personalities, motives, and quirks. The way your companions interact with each other -- and with others -- can be delightfully entertaining. (In exchange for less control over your party, you gain this incredibly rich set of personalities). Your own character evolves with every decision you make; tell a lie and you become less Lawful; act selflessly and you become more Good.
1877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now, to begin, I'd like to touch on the fact that this game arrived very quickly to my door, within 3 days of ordering. That was pleasant, and The disk itself was completely unscathed which was an enormous plus. CD case was intact, cover art wasn't faded nor torn. It was like New and I love that.

You're probably wondering why the game is called Nemesis. Well, Nemesis is the name of an enormous, persistent and dangerous maniac that, throughout the game, constantly tries to attack you. He can either smack you with his arm, or shoot rockets at you. This doesn't make the game as hard as you probably think, because most of the time you can simply run away from him. However, when he appears, get ready to either fight or run away. Don't stand around too long. Decide quickly!
My final great aspect in this epic edition of this great series, is the music. The music in the game effects your overall emotions as you play, making the game look and feel even more amazing. I guarantee that after playing this game, you'll find yourself humming at least two of its tracks!
The audio is the only portion of chapter two that isn't a notable improvement over the first. Its still a strange, subpar performance of tense symphonic arrangements mixed with elevator music. Its quiet at the right moments, it crescendos at the right time, theres just something strange about it. Something that doesnt fit right. Many of the sound effects are carried over from the first game, but theyve been joined by some all new samples. Zombies still make the same characteristic shuffle when they move, they still occupy themselves by mumbling incoherently, and its still entertaining as hell. Leon, Claire, Ada, the Chief, and the other half dozen characters with speaking roles put on a notably better performance than the talent in the first game. This isn't emotional, professional-quality voice acting yet, but its a world and a half better than Chris and Jills boring, unenthusiastic delivery in the first title.
3746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Adventure is an amazing game for the Sega Dreamcast in 1999 this game is a success to the 2d Sonic games but now with added story.
As you can probably tell by now, I love Suikoden II, and if you gave it a shot, I'd even
1288 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game! Not only did I beat the game, but I gathered all 120 stars! I still have my old Nintendo 64, and I occasionally like to play on it and reminisce.
3965 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The console light gun game is something of a neglected genre. In the case of the Dreamcast, that problem can easily be attributed to Sega wussing out on releasing their own gun peripheral in light of the Columbine massacre. Thankfully, a number of third-party companies were willing to pick up the slack, and, thus, by spending some extra cash, you can play this highly enjoyable frag-a-thon the way it was MEANT to be played.
Hope you enjoyed my review.
1638 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This games is one of those few titles where stealth killing is actualy fun. Tenchu had competant graphics for the time, though ugly by 2012 standards. The controls definately had issues but lets face it, this is the best Tenchu game to date. Tenchu has not alway done well as a franchise but this has its charming moments. Years later, the thing that sticks out most to me is the Soundtrack. There are certain games you hang onto for the BGM's. This is one of those games. The over the top stealth kill and trying to unlock certain items is well and good but the music is the thing that always calls me back. This games wonky graphics and play controls were never anything to write home about and only got worse with each consequential sequal and retread. The first one is the best in the series, in my opinion. Priority was never graphics or packaging. It was all about the fun.. and lovely soundtrack.
472 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best Tomb Raider along with the 2nd one. Graphics are actually still all right now 20 years later. Buy this on here or on psn, its a wonderful game from a simpler time. Reminds me of my youth when we didn't have video walkthroughs.
-Characters you can't help but love
3.) Bosses. Bosses are typically easy, provided you have enough health-restore items. However, I frequntly found myself being turned into a bloody pulp (literally) by the sheer numbers and strength of ordinary enemies--isn't it suppossed to be the BOSSES who kill you over and over again?
I would recommend Harvest Moon 64 to people of all ages. It's addictive, challenging, and it makes something that looks pretty dull into a really, really fun game.
PROS
In the single player mode, your character is Locke D'Averam, dead for 10,000 years but because of unique skills, brought back onto the mortal coil to rescue the kidnapped daughter of the head honcho of Misthaven, the main town on the island of Ahkuilon, by a mysterious magician with (surprise, surprise!) his own agenda. During his quest, aspects of Locke's past gradually reveal themselves and his visions start making sense by the end. Sounds like a poor man's "Planescape: Torment", you might think, but since nothing can compare to that epic, forget it and judge it on it's own merits.
One of the nice things about this game, however, is that not everyone is against you. From time to time you come across scientists & security guards who are on your side & you can ask for (and receive) their assistance to help you thru tough spots. The plot to the game itself is quite good, too, about as elaborate as you're ever going to find in a role-playing game. I understand that one of the writers for the game is actually an author of horror novels. Way cool!
1119 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is blew me away! I didn't expect Ocarina to meet with my standards after playing the previous Zelda games. They usually go stale and predictable, but Ocarina didn't do that. It's a game for true fans of the adventure genre! The dungeons are long and perilous, there are numerous side-quests, a great cast of characters, and a large world to travel! If you have any doubts about this game, eliminate them. You won't be dissapointed!
1883 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think this game is more than most of the review make it out to be. This game is SUPPOSED to be challenging, and it is not as frustrating as most think. It's actually really adorable, and has a good setting with cute characters. The camera mode you do have to fiddle with though. But you do get used to it. I was definately hooked on this game, cute, challenging, and fun. 5 stars all the way!
On the left side the L2 follows suit however these are items like rations, for health and binoculars.
5129 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok I remember playing this game a long time ago and LOVING it. But after installing the latest patches and giving it another go I have to wonder...WHO decided to make the enemies be able to shoot you from so far away?
Not many people realize that this game came out AFTER the Super Nintendo Zelda game (A Link to the Past), and there are times when you can see the modifications the developers made on the SNES version to make it better in the Gameboy version. The main example of this, and one of the coolest features on Zelda games at the time is the ability to jump in this game to get over obstacles and enemies. Also, the graphics to this game are wonderful compared to other Gameboy games around.
Killer Instinct has a story in there that no one cared for so you just jump into the action. Pick a character and you'll see the line of characters you must fight one after the other. Each character has his/her/its own moves waiting to be discovered. The game gets you acquainted to a combo system where you can string together certain moves to start a combo chain. The longer the chain, the more you get to beat up the opponent and take off more energy. To make it interesting (and to stop players from over dominating matches), each character has a "combo breaker" move: a certain combo then when you execute after someone tries to chain a combo, that character breaks out of it and hits your opponent at the same time. When your opponent loses all of his/her energy, you get the chance to end the match by either knocking him/her off the stage or by doing an "end special": a special move that you execute to unleash a barrage of combo hits earning you an "ultra combo" (40 or more hits in a row.) If you take too long to finish your opponent, he/she comes back to life with a little bit of energy and is extra powerful. Alongside the main mode, you can get used to the controls in the practice mode, tweak the game setting in the options screen, take on another player in the 2 player VS mode and tournament mode, where up to 8 players can duke it by passing the controller around.
338 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I rated this product as I have because it exceeded my expectations. Also, I would recommend this product to others.
Resident Evil 2 offers a lot of replay value. There are hidden items and other goodies you may not see during your first run, and I highly recommend trying both possible scenarios (Leon A/Claire B and Claire A/Leon B) for the game before moving onto other games in the series. There are also secret game modes and weapons to unlock in this game.
and a great addition to any and all N64 game collections.
Overall, Aladdin is a good game, but its frustration level takes it down a bit.
8640 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game works so well , keeps me busy for hours
Still a few drawbacks, however: 1. the travel system hasn't been fixed. You still have to wander around in the desert hoping to be attacked by something stronger than mole rats, yet weaker than aliens. 2. Limited party size. It gets tiring always being outnumbered, especially when you've got so many so-called friends out there. 3. The world is large, but the character you play is tiny on the screen -- what's going on here? 4. The last missions are too hard, with too little reward at the end of them.
Software on the site allows you to program special move buttons.
WAY TO GO MIDWAY! This was a great game.
The trilogy, originally for the NES, is here for Super NES and with excellent results.
Stay away from this crap even if you are tempted to buy it. It isn't worth it and it turned out to be WORSE than the bad movie it was based on.
Definatly a challenge, trying to find all the DK coins and rescuing Donkey kong. I have completed most of the game and all of the kremling world. (ya know, the weird lookin place with the psychidellic volcano) I say this is definatly the best and always fun to play... now only if they would come out with it on a portable system...
return it to its original position. Then, try another solution.
There are plenty of stages in it and plenty of hidden equipment and ammo which i am a sucker for. I think theres over 25.
637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An interesting aspect of the Final Fantasy series was that all of the games were essentially an experiment. The first game was the ultimate experiment: will this game succeed or will Square go under? But each game was a stage in development.
"Rogue Squadron" also adds a new twist that dramatically enhances its replay ability. It awards medals (bronze, silver, gold) for defeating a level with increasing degrees of efficiency. Achieving all of a certain kind of medal on all the regular missions also unlocks bonus missions. This creates a greater challenge and a greater sense of accomplishment once the challenge has been met.

2310 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who does not love some
If you DID love Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES, then this game is a logical purchase for you!
- There is an Extended version of this game for Sega Saturn
Super fast game play.
If you're already a fan of the action from the first two RE games, then you'll love RE3 because there are a TON of additions to make the action segments more enjoyable. For instance, you can now dodge enemies attacks and utilize a quick turn so that running around is a lot easier to do. Plus, there are now interactive environmental items that you can fire at to cause damage to enemies. There's nothing more satisfying than being chased by a group of 8 zombies and then suddenly taking them all out by firing a single shot at an explosive. BANG! How cool is that? BTW, zombies can now run after you and chase you up stairs, so watch out! Another cool feature is the ability to create your own type of ammo by collecting and mixing different gunpowders. Even on hard mode, with the right combinations, you can end up with a LOT of heavy firepower.
6672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nice classic game, bring a lot of memories
Pros:
5557 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is great and I prefer this to Quake 3. This has great music that goes with the action. The story mode will keep you going for adges.
Once the player receives the Master Sword, it does not stop there. One can actually upgrade the sword two times, and it is strongly
I can't really think of anything negative to say about this game.
594 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a fantastic classic first person shooter. Good adventure.. By looking at the unreal price on unreal you shouldn't have to consider buying it or not.. Buy it.. thats an amazing price for a great game.
Graphics
6389 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I agree with Michael below. The original TR is hands down the best in the series. Each successive TR game, though it may have enjoyed better graphics, sound, cut scenes, etc, also became progressively more difficult and borderline unplayable. TRII was fairly strong, although it wasn't as good as the first. But III and IV introduced problematic frustrating levels that sent one running to the internet (or, for the more foolish, to the nearest store to by the official Eidos hint guide).
3828 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am not a big football person but this game has sparked my interested. I am enjoying the play action, the realistic graphics, and all the high quality sound. It is worth owning.
5747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have all the Final Fantasy Games except for VIII. I just never got around to getting it. I purchased VIII two months ago and I have currently beat it. I though it was well worth playing. The storyline was great. Each charcter brought something spectacular to the game. I never put it down. The ending alone was worth it. 10 of 10 for the best story and gfs.
Since Myst the franchise has indeed developed and evolved. People still tend to think of them and point and click slide shows. Which isn't very fair. Yes, Myst is this way, though it was made 11 years ago and graphic cards back then were not the frontiers of technology they are today.
5477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game's first cinematic sequence shows why Kain casts you(Raziel) into the Vortex of the Dead. The reason he does so is because you grew your wings before him. As he circles you, you are suddenly drenched in pain as Kain rips your wings. As you lay there wounded he orders your vampire brethern to toss you into the abyss. After an eternity of pain and suffering you finally hit the bottom of the abyss. A voice suddenly summons you. He tells you he can help you get vengance on Kain. You tell him you don't deserve this fate and he replies by telling you that you have no choice. You find the cape that marked you as clan leader and cover up your face to hide the fact that your jaw has disintergrated off your face. You reluctantly agree to his offer to help. You soon discover that instead of blood you hunger fo souls.
The most fun part about the gameplay of course is the tactical aspects. And if you don't like thinking tactically this game is not for you. (Sorry FF7 rabids. You need a brain for this. You just can't spam and expect to come out ontop every time) for me, this is what most Rpgs that are turn based should be going for.
Here is the game's bane and boon. Everything else sets it up wonderfully. The soundtrack is great, the visuals are very nice, and the opening story sequence is funny. The game controls smoothly and you have plenty of moves to learn and use throughout. The levels are varied, with plenty of collectibles and other goodies to discover. But these levels are so small, so short, so easy. I never spent an hour and a half on any one level, and most of them took less than an hour to complete. In that time, I could collect ten jigsaw puzzle pieces, one hundred musical notes, and numerous other items such as the Mumbo Jumbo skulls, extra lives, and Jinjos. Compared to Super Mario 64, I can't help but say, is that all?
At first, I felt that the game was plagued with the same difficulty spike DiRT 2 had, where you can win any race without trying on casual difficulty, then lose big time on medium. Then I found the custom difficulty settings where you can choose from 5 levels of challenge, then pick and choose from all the other assists and handling options. Basically, you can let the game play itself by just holding the throttle and steering, or take gradual steps to reach what you feel works best for you. Love this feature! Sadly, there is no option to increase the 360 controller's dead zone or adjust the sensitivity. I'm doing ok as is, but some tweaking would be ideal.
4. Beautiful Graphics - One of the best Graphics games on the SNES system other than Terranigma and Starfox. (All of these games being on a 16 Bit System. Just Goregous!)
I have to say that Road & Track has done a great job with the Need For Speed Series and I wish that EA could collaborate with them in the future. What I liked about Need For Speed I and II was not only was it a fun racing game, but the review of the car and company history. (Which is rare) I hope in the future Need For Speed will bring back those features because that is what make it unique from other racing games. Overall, Need For speed II was a good game at the time and it will always be one of my favorites.
It will be a worthwhile purchase for the best Zelda game of all time.
7298 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 theres a bunch of super fast space planes racing through unbelivable courses at speeds as high as like 800-900 mph! its hard to hang on! there are lots and lots of ships to choose from.there are some really cool side games too.whats that you say?sounds like suicide?well,yes.thats quite true.you will wreck and die a lot.but youve got to learn to make split second deciions.so learn to anticipate! its great fun!
The gameplay is lighting fast with absolutly no slowdown when I play it unless it is so little and the game is so fast paced that it's not noticeable, and that just makes the game even better. The game is also ultimate fun especially with playing with the younger kids, because the look on their face is priceless and hillarios when you pull off a huge combo with a great character, like Mega-Man for example.
This game is still on my hard drive today after all these years, and for anyone that has not yet played PG it is well worth the time and effort to get a copy and experience it. Later games in the `generals' series added refinements visually and tweaked gameplay, but none had the instant immersion appeal and charm that this game still possesses. This is simply one of the greatest strategy games of all time.
Sound: Perfect, unmuffled voices that match perfectly to all characters, and music is still here(and still rules)with no remixes(Thank God)! Music plays just like you would hear it in the arcade!
4220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without a doubt, this is the most popular game I have ever seen. It appeals to everyone, from my friends who love RPG's to the ones who can't stop playing shooters. I honestly have not come across one person who doesn't like this game. You start the game with about 5 scenarios available in which you have to build up different theme parks to meet certain goals to unlocking new scenarios. You can control almost everything in this game, (and even more with the expansions) from how much a slice of pizza costs to raising the price of an umbrella when it's raining out. Not only that, but you can see what every single guest in the park is thinking, carrying, and doing; as well as pick them up and move them around or name them. There are also tons of rides, from Merry-go-Rounds to haunted houses, and plenty of scenery options and themes, but where the game really shines is on the construction of roller coasters. The game has pre-built ones for you, but you usually need (and want) to make your own. It takes practice to build ones people actually want to ride on, but once you get it down, it's awesome. You can spend hours and hours playing this game, it keeps you every bit as glued to the screen as Civ II did. Although the game doesn't let you build a park from scratch, the Loopy Landscapes expansion does, so that problem is solved. The only detracting flaw of this game is that it's sometimes hard to see what you're building if there are too many other rides around you, but you can usually fix that by rotating the view and making things transparent. Buy this game, you'll absolutely love it.
4593 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very good game
657 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Had to re-add to n64 collection. One of my favorite games growing up.
Aside from a couple flaws this is a pretty awesome game and I had a lot of fun playing it. In '98 this came out around the same time as Half Life and they were both the must play FPS games that year. Half Life ultimately won the game of the year slot mainly because of story line. Unfortunately Unreal's story line is pretty poor in the greater scheme of things. The user doesn't really feel a greater purpose to their mission and instead you are merely trying to complete levels and puzzles. Whereas Half Life created a vastly well written world where you were trying to get out of a facility and stop an experiment gone out of control. Unreal just couldn't compete with something of that caliber and it's not nearly as engrossing on that level. Beautiful world and really fun to play overall, but not the best of the year.
6725 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is huge and I'm not even kidding. In this game you play as Wario through exactly 51 stages, each of whom you have to find the minigame room which when you beat you get a treasure. Also at the end of each stage you have to play another mini game in which if you win you'll get one of 50 pieces of a map. I know you unlock (spoiler the difficultest stage in the game if you find all 50). Specific stages has two exits, each one leads ya to a different area. Anyways I played this over and over because I found this game to be entertaining because it was so fun and big. I quite often found myself forgeting where the treasure in specific stages were at, yea I'm that bad. But usually I end with everything. I believe this game has a 50 hour game time, it all depends on how good you are at platformer games. It's definitly worth it just for the size of the game overall so go ahead and buy it :) probably the best choice you'll make overall if you don't have this game.
4537 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I decided to pick up Blue Stinger as my first game for the Dreamcast. The game is filled with over the top action with super cheesy cut scenes that totally add to the story and epicness therein. I would pick up this game in a heartbeat!
8886 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great.
I've got almost no complaints about the graphics. They're very good and move very fast. The camera doesn't always cooperate though, and that can sometimes be very annoying. It also seems that Tails hovers a bit over the landscape so he doesn't let himself be controled fluently.
My kids all spent many hours as well.. it is just fun without your having to invest a lot of painful brainpower.. :) It requires very little learning time, and is even fun to learn as you go. In the final analysis, as suggested by reviewer "ribcage", it boils down to a great, pleasant way to pass time.
Resident Evil is a classic video game series. Unfortunately, the first movie wasn't nearly as good as any of the main games from the series. The graphics might not be great since most of us own next-gen consoles like PS2, Xbox and GCN, but they're still decent.
This has been Oklonia.
3986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I actually ordered this game as a secondary choice. Boy was I wrong, this is definitely first rate. I was extremely impressed with the level of detail in this simulation. The smooth scrolling of the terrain make low level flight a definite experience. The only drawback is that the AI is severly lacking in creativity. The freindly aircraft will come to your assistance but are dependent on your commands to make any intelligent decission when it come to target engagement. The enemy aircraft follow standard offensive and defensive tactics which is okay for the gamer and simulator buff, but those craving realism require an AI that will adjust to your moves and counter accordingly. The shortcomings just noted are minimal in comparison to the visual effects, audio and overall gameplay. Nothing can be done to reduce the 5 star rating because this sim deserves more than that. So far running on a PIII 450 with 192 megs of RAM, 60gig ATA66 and a Voodoo3 3000 AGP, there have been no lockups and everything has been smooth sailing, the video after a full install that requires 1100MB of space is still a little choppy running from a 50x CD-ROM. Having only been in one actual air-to-air engagement(Helicopter), I can't really ding this game on realism. The spectacular explosions are quite exagerated. All minute problems aside this is deffinitely the sim to purchase, and if you somehow thought you had a personal life... you do in front of your computer with flightstick in hand.
4852 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ordered 4, and they all worked. No noticable lag, no misfiring buttons. Now I can sit back and play at a comfortable distance!
Took the formula of the original RE and perfected it.
51 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Bought for future investing/collecting. Paper included isn't personally signed by the guy,its just a copy. and this actually dropped in price 40% in the last 9 months since I purchased.
As a result, i played tomb Raider:TLR insetad. Happy to tell you that today, i'd rather play this game than Tomb Raider.
The graphics are adequate for the game. However, the sound is pretty abysmal. The music is absolutely terrible on almost every course- and it is recommended that you turn it off.
!!SPOILER!! More time should been spent balancing the disciplines Magesty is grossly overpowered at LV5. The discription says that the enemies look at you in awe and thats just what they do at LV5 is stand their in look at you while your hasted and attacking with the blood drinking sword. I hope this wasn't intended since most other Disciplines are so weak.
A great 2d mega man game that is must to any who appreciates a good 2d game.
1588 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I din't get this game until almost a year ago, but I still find it to be pretty fun. It has a tiny roster (with only ten guys) that is EXTREMELY outdated, but I recognized most of the guys, several of them being among my favorite wrestlers. (The only one who was completely unfamiliar to me was Ahmed Johnson.) I think the graphics are really good although the wrestlers aren't very large on the screen, and the gameplay is done pretty well. No, the game isn't very realistic, but I think that just adds to the fun! Some people seem to have issues with the load times, but I don't really think the load times are bad at all. I've played games that have much longer load times! I think this game is much better than WCW Vs. The World (which is one of the only two other wrestling games I have for PS1), even though that game has many more guys on it!
5481 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - Circa 1999
Resident Evil 2 is a console game. Its' move to PC is...questionable. But while it may not be the next generation of gaming goodness, it allows all the PC owners of the world a chance to immerse themselves in one of the greatest console games of all time.
The weapons are what you'd expect in a wartime game. Very good weapons, and very easy to aim and use them on an enemy. No problems here.
Also, Mario Land may be fun and all, but who knew it was so strange?
3885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has to be the ultimate cheating device for the nintendo, I had one when I was much younger, but I got rid of it because it had a freezing problem. That was a mistake, this is the only cheating device I know of that allows you to actually create your own codes.
6260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After so many years of reading books, playing video games & watching movies, certain stereotypes tend to get really worn out, the "save the world" and "amnesiac hero" cliches and the Tolkien based fantasy realms of RPGs started to become boring after awhile. There were always some magnificent exceptions like Darklands, System Shock, Wasteland (and it's direct descendants; the Fallouts) but all in all by the late nineties I had begun to drift more toward Console RPGs; their design was pretty formulaic but at least they took some chances with their setting and stories.
Overall, do not buy this game. Buy Tales of Symphonia, Chrono Cross...anything. Please, do not waste your money. These are the parting words of a weeping gamer. Thank you.
8701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When rumours of new 32-bit consoles were becoming a reality many fans began to forget about the Snes, that was of course until the release of `Donkey Kong Country'. A game so ahead of it's time that at it's first E3 showing many reporters mistook it for a N64 game.
This is always your thumps up games And if u hate it then u are not AN RPG PLAYER I REPEAT U ARE NOT A RPG player
difficulty : hard to insane ( you get new difficulty level to replay the game)
5163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Until now I've never played a lot of the PS1 classics. I can safely say though, that this game is awesome. No matter how many times I accidentally walk into a surveillance camera, I still have a lot of fun sneaking around and hiding.
Overall: 8/10 (not an average)
It's thanks to games like this that I'm so glad I held onto my Super NES after all the "flashier" stuff like the Playstation and XBox came out. Next to the original Nintendo system, it is bar none the greatest system with some of the best titles to ever have hit the markets. That being said, rest assured that "Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" is one of the most underrated but fantastic games you could hope to play on a 32-bit console. I've asked many, many people whether or not they had the pleasure to play it, and I get a surprising number of vacant stares and silent head shakes. How this managed to slip under the radar of so many gamers is beyond me, but I assume it has something to do with the advent of the digital modules overshadowing those last few years of the 32-bit systems.
9667 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a classic!!! It's a pretty easy game and does not take a lot of your time but is very enjoyable if you love pokemon. Of course it's very nostalgic for me so I am biased!
OMG why did all the people in close-up cut scenes talk with all their teeth showing? It really got annoying. I have never in my life met a person who talks like that. Also, the timing of the voice acting was bad. Serious delays in dialogue had me thinking the conversation was over then it started up again. So, voice acting wasn't bad, but developers did a poor job clipping it.
2157 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I purchased it to play Donkey Kong
I guess...you have 5 zoom levels. The above implies that you can zoom to any level.
i'm glad i had an opportunity to play it.
So go out and get Final Fantasy 7 NOW!
In addition to being hilarious (the commercials for the game were great, if you got a chance to seem them on TV), the joy of the game is using the analog controllers to move and manipulate gadgets.
6832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In this game the Justice League must battle thier worst enemies...themselves! A great game to play! When this is avalible buy it!
6191 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very satisfied with the console, but it took minor cleaning
*Graphics*: 3 out of 5--could be better. *Sound* 5-- oooo, you can hear the blood gush! neat! *Control* 5-- I like it! hey mikey! *fun-ocity* 5-- The NES-ish graphics can't pull this one down. A keeper, for sure!
Harpoon Gun
The multiplayer was kinda fun, but it gets dull fast. Basicly, it shifts to fps and you shoot other people for points. other than that, this is probably the worst game I have ever played. Don't buy this game...rent it at most..or borrow it.
smart. Zelda even puts the Super Mario games to shame in my opinion. I don't have my N64 any more so I'd download
overall a great game what are you waiting for go and buy it already
7384 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Land 2 is way better than its first one. In this "retro review" we're going to look at what made this one of the best GB games of its time (but too bad just a year later we'd get "The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening").
Jedi Knight follows the path of Kyle Katarn, an ex-Imperial soldier turned rebel. His father was murdered and as the game progresses you learn the truth about your family and learn the ways of the force.

BLAST CORPS was a good game, but only worth renting, or buying at a very low price.

Me and my best pal played this non-stop on 2-player mode. It was definitely the most fun you could have on the Genesis. What a game it is!!!
The heart of this game lies with the gameplay. Turned based strategy sounds boring, FF tatics really adds a depth of its own to make this game pretty interesting. Those familiar with the Final Fantasy world will know the job classes almost immediatly. All charchters start off as low level squires or chemist. Gaining experience and skills in those jobs open a new class of jobs, knight and mages respectivly. Gaining more experience opens more jobs and classes with different skills.
5510 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game because i have played and worn out the james bond games. This game was supposed to be a cool spy game, and it is. This game is, like mg a 3rd person shooter, where you play as a member of the swat team. There are also 3 different endings, depending on how fast you beat the game. The normal baddies are quite stupid, except the one that have knives, but the bosses are just plain awesome. Some have machine guns, rocket launchers, and even two guns. The only bad thing is that you only get 4 weapons in the game. BUT, THAT IS WHERE MP COMES IN. The multiplayer on this game is, to me, better that any of the james bond games. To start off you only get the five swat team members, and, yes only 4 guns. But, after you beat the game on hard, you unlock all the other characters, which fills the bottom half of the character select screen. It's awesome, you can play as banderas(my favorite) who has two guns! All th bad guys you chose have infinite ammo, but they cannot put there backs against the wall. This takes great strategy as to who you choose compared with who your friends choose. The only, i repeat, only thing this game could use in mp is bots, but aside from that, this is one of my top ten for n64.
So, I'd call this game a rent, and if you can find it anywhere for a good used price, grab it!

So in short, if you want to see what all the fuss is about, buy it and see. I loved it.
So to all, always PRONTO pay attention to mister number one best sheriff student's idiotic post (i love you sophisticated people who drop the f bomb and think you are cool...White Trash that sums you up :) have a nice day
The CONS: Aladdin is not the hardest game out there so even the youngest of players can breeze through the game with ease. It's also a short game so it's over before you realize it.
The game begins with simple, pedestrian levels for newcomers to get to grips with the controls. The enemies are only small in the first few levels; bats, dogs etc. that can be eliminated with a single shot of Lara's Pistols - a weapon that she has with her always that features an unlimited amount of ammo. The game has a massive 16 levels that will keep you playing for months - it took me 10 months to complete. In fact, I finished the week Tomb Raider II came out so once I'd finished with the first, I spent the next 10 months playing the second one! This has been a regular oocurance and has resulted in me playing all five Tomb Raider games for around 6 years without a break! I remember the days when I bought this game...I was only 10 and it scared me to death! The enemies may not look very real, but remember that controlling Lara is! You control her every move so her life is in your hands! At the time the game was released, the graphics were unbelievable and the scenery breathtaking. The former is not so much now, but the latter still stands. Graphics in computer games have come a very long way since 1996, but half an hours' play on Tomb Raider with Ms Croft, and its superior excellence shines through. The final levels are set in and around Atlantis, and are classic moments in video gaming history. From the rocky cliffs of Asia, to the hot muggy forests of South America and the haunting and eerie lost island of Atlantis, there's something here for everyone. Buy it now!
4308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My title pretty much sums it up. If you're like me, you've come from a gaming community who fell in love with Warcraft II & Starcraft, but slowly grew tired of the RTS (real-time strategy) clones that have followed ever since then. And you think, "No one can do it better than Blizzard did back then."
There are also fairies who will help you in some way. Some will catch you if your falling, and will move you to safety, while others will give you a Super Strong fire breath(which will allow you to flame armored enemies). Hovering above Spyro is a dragonfly. The color of the dragon fly shows you your current health. Green, if your have full health, and red if you are very hurt. He will disappear if you get hurt when he is red. In each home world there are guys with hot air ballons. These ballooners tell you what you must do in that world for them to take you to the next world (you can always return to past worlds later to pck up anything you might have missed). In most worlds you usually have to find a certain number of dragons, treasure or eggs. Finally, you will get to Gnasty's world, where you will have to fight Gnasty Gnorc.
2380 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The year was 1998. I was twelve years old, in middle school, and the Pokemon games debuted in the United States for the very first time. A game so simple and yet at the very same time: So complex. Nothing was more addictive, nothing was more fun than playing Pokemon. If you remember the craze (the REAL craze, presently it isn't nearly as strong as it was back then), then you remember what it was like to go to school back in those days. Suddenly EVERYONE had a Gameboy. Suddenly even those who didn't normally play games or even know what the hell a Gameboy was, had it. And you'd go up to your friends and you'd trade Pokemon, you'd taunt each other about who was the better champion when you battled. You got in arguments over who the best starter was. Then you learned of those glitches to get all your Pokemon to level 100 by duplicating the Rare Candies. You caught Missingno and M-Block and caught Safari Zone Pokemon by exploiting what may very well be one of the most widely known glitches in video game history. And of course, you went to catch them all, and you probably had that ONE friend who you deemed your rival and you had to catch 'em all before he did. If you remember all this, you're a true Pokemon fan. This isn't a myth, this game debuted, sold gazillions of copies and started a craze that--while it isn't as strong--still exists today. This was one of the heights of gaming period.
4922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recently got this game and wasn't expecting much, boy was I surprised! This game is the best of Starcraft, Age Of Empires, and Command and Conquer. The HUGE selection of units allows for an incredible amount of gameplay. With all the units out there you can't defend yourself well enough because when you defend from sea, air attacks, and vice versa. Missions are available for those single players out there, as well as a skirmish mode capable of holding up to 9 AI and yourself. This game has extensive internet support and between all of these has an incredible replay value. This game is addictive for the serious and the once in awhile players. Good for the young and old. For adults and kids. Anybody who wants to have a great time with a strategy game will need this one. IT'S A MUST HAVE!

9220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong was originally an arcade game in the early '80s that Nintendo put out to gain exposure. It turned out to be a hit with gamers and it was soon ported to and was one of the launch titles for the NES in 1985. Nearly ten years later, Nintendo released the sequel to the hit '80s arcade game for the Game Boy. Simply titled "Donkey Kong", it was a runaway smash for Nintendo as it was a puzzle platform game with the original 4 levels from the arcade game plus 96 brand new levels exclusively made for it. It sold millions of copies and is a fun game that will take you hours and hours to complete.
Super Mario 64 (my original copy from 96, still works and by far on of the best games in history)
Final Fantasy VI is perhaps one of my all time favorite final fantasy games in the franchise. If your a fan of FF, you MUST play this game, even if your not, its a great starting point. The game's visuals deliver a very original steampunk look, with an absolutely unprecedented degree of detail in the scenery, surpassed only by the same company's Chrono Trigger the following year. As a classic RPG, it really felt above and beyond the early titles before it regarding visual appeal. Musically, the game is also a delight. In what can be considered composer Nobuo Uematsu's best work of all time, each and every track of the game is a classic, delivering the best of what the system is capable of producing, everyone will tell you this games music sound tracks just ROCK!! Every single character has their own theme, some of which are used elsewhere in the game to signify a connection between the two. For example, Celes theme has major significance to the role she plays in the game. They are such full of nostalgia for many fans who have played it. Just listening to the tracks on youtube, personally for me memories just start flooding my mind of certain events in the game. The same of course can be said for Chrono trigger or Final Fantasy VII, both of these games have sound tracks that no other rpg can even come close to rivaling. My opinion.

2532 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I started playing this game a few months ago and just completed all of it. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe features not only the 1985 NES original levels, but also the Japanese version levels that North American players couldn't have before. At that particular time, the only other way that anyone could access those levels was to play Super Mario All Stars for the Super NES/Nintendo Wii. However, the NES Japanese levels were finally included on this 1999 Game Boy Color port/remake. (For those of you history buffs, the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. was actually named Super Mario Bros. 2. The North American version of SMB2 was completely different and released in 1988 with Wart as the main archvillain, not Bowser.)
9502 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Despite falling into the category of fad-ware, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a solid and enjoyable title. Sticking to the old fashion side-scrolling brawler formula, the game delivers a pretty good punch where it needs to. With creative, elaborate and interactive stages, a respectable assortment of enemy classes and entertaining boss battles, these Rangers prove that they don't always need to be on film to save the day.
Get it on PC. That version is alot better.
The processor, which is a Z80 workalike made by Sharp with a few extra (bit manipulation) instructions, has a clock speed of approximately 8 MHz, twice as fast as that of the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Color also has three times as much memory as the original (32 kilobytes system RAM, 16 kilobytes video RAM). The screen resolution was the same as the original Game Boy, which is 160x144 pixels.
The plot is revealed to the gamer with great restraint. You see, there are bizarre, murky images that even David Lynch or Stanley Kubrick wouldn't be able to visualize. For example, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are confined to, um...a blurry contraption that kidnaps them; or does it imprison them? I personally couldn't tell if it was really Jimmy and Lois, because it's very hard for the gamer to completely understand the cutscenes. But isn't it neat to figure it out for yourself? You see, because the graphics are so confusing and blurry, you get to keep playing again to unearth the game's secrets. And don't worry about completing SUPERMAN 64 in a short period of time, either. It's a tough game, and there are few games that equal its challenge.
8047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first video game I ever owned. I got it in a SNES bundle way back in 1993. Back then I was around 7 or 8 and still new to video games and had trouble with the first level even. However I quickly got better over the next few weeks. I think it's the same way with everyone.
A great gaem that is sorely missed these days where video games have declined into gross gorefests.
6184 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was released in 1996!!! I bought it when it was relatively new and I had 3 children (2 boys and a girl) from about 9-13. I already had the SimCity game (whatever was current then.. I think 3000 Unlimited..) It's difficult to trace my entering SimCopter Fandom with this game, but enter I did..
Your enemies' AI, while simple, isn't so easy as to make it boring. They'll sometimes hide behind trees and structures to fire at you. All in all, a great game.
*Realistic 3-D environment
9th Level, 3rd Competition: Roswell - Very hard to impress judges, but great layout. (Remember, you have to get all gold in all three competitions to get your video)
Sega has the best games. They don't put out games every 15 minutes like Sony- they actually think about them before releasing them. They have better racers, better action games, FAR better RPGs, and Sports games completely knock PS-X into the dirt. Graphics are superb and also superior to the PS2 as well. Compare MSR to GT 3, World Series 2K1 or NFL 2K1 to ANY sports game on PS2, NBA 2K1 to NBA Live 2001, Skies of Arcadia to any Final Fantasy, etc. This system is underrated just because it's not being made anymore.
I think one of the only problems with KI on the home system was the same problem with the Arcade version. It was to complicated for a lot of gamers. A lot of people could not get the combo system down and I will admit certain characters had some difficult ones. You really had to know the combo system to win at KI.
Team Sonic: this consists of Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Knuckles the Echidna. This team has a journey that is a little harder, normal difficulty to be exact. This is good for those who want a little more of a challenge, and enjoy the light bantering of this somewhat humorous team.
Some people find this game hard to play. True, city planning and managing its affairs is pretty difficult especially when you have to please the people, please the gods, defend the city and to top it all send the emperor gifts and meet with his over taxing demands which seem totally unfair especially at times when you find your city vaults do not hold enough to meet those needs. But hey! Are these not the very same factors that challenge your abilities as a good administrator and thus keep you interested all through the game and make it unique?
This is a very challenging and different game which actually involves strategy and tactics (thus the title of the game). Don't go in expecting a regular Final Fantasy game where all you have to do in battles is push the X button a couple of times and it's over. The battles in this game are similar to that of chess: You have to move around on a 'board' in a turn-based battle system, you have different characters (with customizable abilites), and you have to defeat the opposing characters by thinking a few moves ahead and developing a tactic to win. This kind of gameplay requires a lot of thinking and its fun! You also have to watch out as to not hurt your own characters, like with arrows or spells. You can also accidentally aid your opponents, so you really have to plan out all your moves!

The system lasts.
Furthermore, Dracula's castle is one large dungeon that connects back into itself; you can revisit rooms you were at earlier, rather than the linear, one-stage-at-a-time, progression that composed Castlevania IV. This may make the game seem like Metroid, but thankfully, you do not need to backtrack as much, since warps are available to transfer you between distant rooms. And there is always a save-point nearby - making it ideal for a half-hour play when ever the feeling grabs you.
4492 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoy this game. There are seven fractions that all broke up when they landed on the planet. You must choose to represent one. There are several changes that this game made along with improvement, A.) There is now a concel that all the countries make up. When issues arive they all go to meet on the issue. You can run for planetary governew where you are essianly the leader of union. I really enjoy this and it opens up the option for a diplomatic victory. B.) You now have boarders. This is simple where your city limits are. An improvement for a possible AC2 would be that you can move the boarders by notation and not but building a city.
sure, it's not the greatest game, but if you are a fan, check it out!
If you enjoyed games such as SimCity, Age of Empires and Civilization I would recommend this game because it follows a similiar strategy and planning mechanism. The add-on packs (Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes) add some interesting components but are not recommended unless you enjoyed this game immensely. For your best bet, since the game has been out for awhile, I would wait a few months when the game will be sold with the expansion packs added on to it.

5546 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Simply Great !! I have a projector and 80" screen. So, playing on such a huge screen would be painful if you have to set close. I got this cable and connected two togather and then to the controller. It is simply great ! Enjoying playing on the far sofa with no problem !
If you've lasted this long then....I PITY YOUR SOUL!! Anyways, the fight starts and it's incredibly easy...to the point that enjoyment is null and the fact that your playing Shaq Fu doesn't help cure that sudden acid reflux problem either. I beat it in about 20 minutes *yawn* (or was it *urk* I forgot...).
4) Story: This is one of the few times that a convoluted Japanese video game narrative actually improves the game. There is so much going on in this story that there is a dictionary to keep track of all of the characters and events. Because of this boatload of information, and complexity of the story, it never really gets old either, so there goes another one for replayability. Each time you play through, there's a good chance you might pick up a little thing you missed the last time around.
So what does this new blue hero in red shoes have to offer that a fat mushroom-eating plumber doesn't? Well for one, Sonic is FAST. Not nearly as much as in any of the sequels, but for 1991, this kind of speedy sidescrolling gameplay was unheard of, and drew many crowds. I remember being taken by storm when my cousin first bought a Sega with the original Sonic game. It brings back so many memories of middle childhood. The gameplay is rather basic, with only a run, jump, and spin attack to combat the levels, but really that's all you need here. For new gamers that have just started playing the recent Sonic games, THIS is the game that introduced rings, TV Powerups, loops, animal-freeing, chaos emeralds, instant-death spikes, Dr. Robotnik, underwater drowning, bumpers, catapults, springs, and the Green Hill Zone. Plus, the game is divided into different zones, and within each zone are several acts, which are merely just stages. With all that it has going for it, how does it measure up to its sequels? Let's look at the pros and cons:
So if you enjoyed GoldenEye 007 (as so many other people have over the years) you should certainly dust off the Nintendo 64 and come back to this perfectly worthy successor.
Don't get me wrong with this review. I absolutely enjoyed playing Final Fantasy VIII. All this review is showing you is the highlights and some of the downfalls. If you are an avid RPG player with little or a lot of background, FF8 will definitely impress. But if you're a wandering video gamer with no clue as to what this game was when you look at a shelf, don't bother picking it up.
REASON #1: This game is a prime example of how a developer took its time to make this game. It was more than 2 years since the movie it was based on came out and Rare had access to everything concerning the movie from the original orchestral music, likeness of the main characters and locations to the bonus villains of other James Bond movies such as Oddjob and Mayday. They didn't rush this out the door like some developers do when they wanted their games released alongside the films it was based on and it always guaranteed to be a huge mistake. This game was a huge success and is still played by many video gamers.

Each GF is attached to a character via the 'Junction' system. This system provides a deep customization mechanic where you can not only Junction a GF but also specific magic to each character trait. For example a powerful spell like 'Ultima' could be Junctioned to a characters HP thus rendering a large HP bonus. Or that same magic attached to a characters Strength for added physical damage to attacks. Status effect magic - bio, sleep, confuse, etc. - can be junctioned as well to a characters attack or defense rendering the ability to inflict status effects by attacking or gaining increased defense against those same attacks. Like I said, it's a very deep system.
630 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game in many ways is like tony hawk. In fact, the only differnt thing this snowboarding. The graphic and gameplay are good. With 5 differnt boarders to use and alot of tracks, the game is worth the money.
3051 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 When I first bought my PS2, I got FF10, FF9, and FF7. That was back in 2002. FF10 & FF9 I liked. Good stories & loveable characters. But FF7 was a drag.
The graphics are excellent and the level of detail is amazing as well. Within the game you'll see bullet holes from every shot you've taken and looking down at the floor you'll even be able to count the shells from your gun. There is no item decay which helps add to the realism, if you gun down some punk you can run around for 20 minutes and when you return his body will still be there (and so will the shells from your gun). The story settings are excellent as well. Running around seedy parts of the Bronx while gunning down mobsters and drug addicts is quite a change of pace from the your normal shooter where you're on a space station killing stupid looking aliens. Also, the "Bullet Time" effect is something completely new to the genre that really makes the game shine. Basically what "Bullet Time" does is put the game in slow-motion allowing you to get a better edge in gun battles and perform beautiful action-movie-like stunts. Although "Bullet Time" sounds like a cheat, it's really what makes the game great. You won't be able to just do it whenver you want for as long as you want. You have an Hourglass that determines how much B-Time you have left, and even when it's full it's only a couple of seconds in total. Earning more B-Time requires you to kill thugs WITHOUT using the B-Time, so it is best saved for tight situations.

There are three races: the Terrans (or Earthlings), who look human and have human technology (such as infantry, tanks, land mines, nuclear missiles, fighter planes, etc), the Zerg, who resemble the creatures from the "Alien" movies (their technology is all biological. It is "grown" from seed-like workers. All of their buildings regenerate health. They are able to create huge armies of creatures with little resources) and the protoss (an extremely advanced alien race, which uses force fields and psychic energy to power up their units).

5793 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Before buying this game, I strongly recommend downloading the demo off their website first. As a fan of many of the "God Games" out there, I found this one very unintuitive. In short, all of the people are stupid and the game itself does some very dumb things.
278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Work great and plenty on memorey. I love it. This is great if you play slot of games. You won't run out of memory.
Pros:
-AWESOME 2 PLAYER MODE! This mode is really fun because it pits two people against each other going through one of 4 zones from the game. There's some cool powerups that make things extra difficult for the other player.
I recently replayed the game and even over a decade later I still have the same thoughts. However, some of the games limitations became much more apparent to me. Basically you're thrust into a world and have to use the discovery method to figure things out. You go around click a few switches here, turn a tower there, very elementary and obvious stuff right? Not really, but I will say that I think I was playing the game at the wrong age. I think I was a bit too young to see the obviousness of the puzzles. What took me months to work out at age eleven, took me a few minutes at my current age. I was seriously able to blow through this game in a few hours and this was actually the first time I've played since the last time that many years ago. I remember a few of the basic things, but I couldn't remember much of anything about the other worlds you link to.
5534 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed playing AMBER. The graphics are good, the sound effects are great, and the storyline dealing with paranormal research makes the most of what draws me to the adventure genre.

8098 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first 3D shooter game I've ever played was Doom. Since then I was an addict of these types of games (Hexen, Heretic, Quake, Duke Nukem, Blood, Jedi Knight...you name it) until I kind of "grew out" of it. I guess I just got sick of them in a way because there are just so many out there. So I never set my eye on these kinds of games again. But being a hardcore Star Trek fan, Elite Force really caught my attention. I just thought, "What the heck?", pulled two twenties out of my pocket, and took it home. I was really shocked! This game was fun! I just could not stop playing. Not only did it have good graphics, speed, etc., but it actually felt like I was part of an episode of Star Trek Voyager. That's what made it so fun to play for me, along with the heart-pumping action (unlike most 3D shooters, the monsters aren't those slow, zombie-type, moaning/growling type...monsters in this game actually scream, bum rush you and tear you up!).
So basically I give it 100 stars cuz I LOOOVE it.
2556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 its in good condition but kind of pricey. whatever its cool tho.
Brought us 3D platfroming that was just about perfect in every way.
1036 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Seriously, it's one of the worst games ever! Terrible graphics, especially compared to the PS Triple's, no voice acting, boring puzzles, and above all, it stars a little fruity fairy boy who wears green panties and never hits on any of the babes in this game. Plus why is the main villian black? That's racist!
In conclusion, good game for newcomer and the best storyline to keep you hooked on the series!
5958 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First let me say that I have never been the biggest fan of RPGs(though Final Fantasy 7 is an exception). However in the case of Diablo II, I love ehm. It is a highly fun and entertaining game. It revolves around the lands of sanctuary(sanctuary is the name of the world or section of the world). Diablo, the lord of terror, was once imprisoned in a soulstone along with his brothers, the lord of destruction and the lord of hatred(Baal and Mephisto). However now he has been released and is shedding his terror and darkness over the world and of course you must stop him. The Charecters: You have the option of 5 charecter classes in Diablo II. The Amazon: A beautiful but deadly warrior from accross the sea. She is a master at wielding bows and spear weapons. Necromancer: Raising the dead and cusring his enemies are his specialties. The necromancer is one hell of a charecter. He can, after slaying his unfortunate opponents, raise them from the dead as skelatons who fight for him(he can raise one skelaton per exp level). Barbarian: When it comes to fighting, THIS GUY ROCKS. A warrior from far away, ancient, not too mention heavily guarded, mountains, the barbarian is the ultimate charecter when it comes to meelee weaponry. As he charges through he can shout great battle cries which can send his enemies running in fear, or leave them dead. He can slaughter enemies mercilessly before showing signs of weakness, but his most impressive skill is the ability to wield to weapons at once, one in each hand. With an ax in one hand and a sword in the other he can easily exterminate his opponents.
This game is nice still. I think its quite replayable. It was hard for me to play it then cause I didn't have a memory card and each time I turned the game off I got to start in the beginning of that level again. I never beated the train level.
5978 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've played the demo, and it is truly incredible! the graphics are extremly good and the robots move very realistically. The support vehichles have slightly limited effects but are also nonetheless impressive. Also the sound effects when the robots fire a weapon or strike an enemy are very hot, plus when the robots walk you can hear their footsteps, a horde of robots marching across a ruined cityscape is a sight to behold! I can't wait to buy it!
4150 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game will not load on my Mac. The box says its supposed to. This was a very big disappointment. I was trying to get out of the shooter games.
Gall Spaceport: 7.5/10 - This level carries on for way too long, but the fight with Boba Fett rocks!
Just running around shooting enemies and collecting zenny (money) is a lot of fun, not to mention addicting. A pretty good game worth picking up.
Very good and very easy to follow. I like how it separates between Shinra and Sephiroth before the first disk is even half way over. Very addicting and very fun to follow, and it still always gets me going without ever getting old.

Escape from Echo Base: 9/10 - On jedi this levels a b**ch! But its very fun to see those damn snowtroopers fall into oblivion!
3319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Im one of the biggest fans of the entire resident evil series:
Much like Indiana Jones, we first encounter Lara as she explores some ruins in South America - allegedly the village of Vilcabamba, an actual archeological site in Ecuador, although as it appears in the game it's more of a generic hotch-pot of pre-Columbian art and architecture. Of course you have the rolling ball traps everywhere, and of course she eventually finds a golden idol - more nods to Indy. Later she explores Las Vegas versions of Rome and Egypt, slaughtering more endangered species in the process than are even left on the planet (PETA just loved this game) before proceeding to - where else? - Atlantis, which is naturally swarming with freakish and bloodthirsty mutants. All this because she's in search of an artifact whose magical powers, if in the wrong hands, could destroy the world, or something.
3848 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A solidly good sequel to the classic original, 'System Shock 2' was one of the most engrossing games of 1999, and had me playing it well into the early hours. It's not quite as good as the original - or, for that matter, the same team's 'Thief: The Dark Project', but it's still very good. The good things are legion - it has the same scary atmosphere as the original, with you as the lone survivor of an unexpected catastrophe on board an unfamiliar space vessel. The interior is wrecked, bodies litter the floor, mutant zombie people are attacking you, and some areas of the ship have been overtaken by an icky fungus. The later sequences, in which you discover the nature of the problem, and team up with a strange ally, contain some of the most effective goes at telling a story in a computer game without resorting to having pages of text and / or dialogue. The game itself is much as the original - search everything in sight whilst shooting - and the 'Thief'-esque engine, whilst not pretty, can do stealth and AI at least as effectively as 'Half-Life'. The game has a great cool, crisp atmosphere to it, too.
4732 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game YEARS after it was released and could not believe how well it has held up. It truly is an amazing game. What makes this game so spectacular is the ambience it creates. Although the graphics are over 10 years old, the colors are soo vibrant, and the orchestrated score is fantastic- prolly the best of any video game ive ever played. Each portion of the castle is like an amazing painting. It truly is a work of art. The castle is dark, creepy, and full of life. The plot is really good as well, (despite some horrid english acting that will be ridiculed untill the end of time. lol) You control Alucard, the half vampire and half human son of Dracula, as he tries to stop his father. Alucard is an awesome looking character to control and with constant upgrades to collect, it is rewarding to see him progress into a powerful force. This game laid the foundation for the excellent portable castlevanias on Nintendo systems but it still remains the best out of all of them. The ambiance, the music, the simple, but rewarding gameplay, and the colorful graphics still outdo its successors. Definitely one of the greatest games of all time.
Anyone can just pick up and play, although this is NOT a game for those under 10 (many, MANY cusses, suggestive themes, and animated violence....but that is why it is rated T, of course)
SOUND 4/5: U really get the feeling when u conk ure weapon on an enemy but its annoying when skeletons attack fast an beat the crap out uv ya!
Like all good stories, this ended with a plea for you to be available to help Artius locate his wife, catherine...and now for the sequel...
Legend of Zelda: OoT holds a lot of replay value. Even after I've finished the game, I'm still having a great time.
At times the doors, when I command it to open with the B button, it still won't open, even if I already DID get an access card for the door in the first place. The reason behind that is the fact that an enemy is probably trying to open the door as well, but how am I supposed to know that? So, I stand back, the enemy comes in, and oh, guess what, it turns out that there isn't just one of them, there's thirty, so they all shoot at me, and I die. You can easily die in this game just due to glitches, which makes it very difficult and frustrating.
So many levels are divided into islands, and each set of levels is followed by a bad boss. Some are hard and some are easy. It depends in your skill in such games. The story is concluded by a battle between this Crash and Dr Cortex. If you win then you got it.
Also Quake 1 is just as awesome although I like 2 better. Quake 1 like Doom is the grandfather of modern shooters while Quake 2 is the father! you won't be disappointed with either game!
Adding to this frustration is the fact that it is incredibly easy to over or under jump! This wouldn't be as much of a problem if it weren't for all the levels which require you to get to "the top" of things. Again, if you fall once, that's it, you start all over again. If the game designers weren't going to give you any continue points in these levels, why-o-why did they make it SO FRIGGIN' EASY FOR YOU TO FALL!!!???
8648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like the Sonic the Hedgehog version of Wario's Woods (although it's really based on Puyo Pop, which is still a fun game), this game (although pretty old) is a blast and a classic. It's good to also have a game not based on the video game storyline, using one with the cartoon instead. This game is VERY challenging (for me) because I'm not too good with puzzle games. If you like Tetris, I highly recommend it, but if you're not the kind of person that likes puzzles, be warned. The highest level I can get up to is five,(thirteen levels in all) but it's still fun, so, even if you're not a puzzle fan, it's a fun game. I still play over and over, even though it came out in 1993. There are a lot of enjoyable classics out there, and this is one of them.
3939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is yet another excellent installment in the x-wing series, and is a great example of where action games in general are going. One of the aspects I found most interesting about this game is that there's an actually story with characters to follow, which makes missions a lot more fun since you know where, why, and how you are where you are.
This is the future of entertainment, where you are actually inside the movie.
It's important to remember that Starcraft was created at least two years before Age of Empires 2. It's obvious that AOE2 borrowed some good ideas from Starcraft. The main one being those of unit limits. In Starcraft you have a 200 unit limit, so it's still possible to build a huge army. But you also have to balance that against the number of units you use to gather resources.
One of the best in the Sonic Series, and highly recommended to anybody who likes adventure games.
3833 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great game but has some audio bugs that are annoying (sometimes a sound 'sticks' and repeats over and over.. or the commentators who comment on the wrong team at halftime, etc..
8001 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the second-best Zelda game, after Ocarina of Time. This is the game that got me hooked. I was pretty young when I first got it, and it is extremely challenging so I beat it over seven years playing on and off! The puzzles are very creative, they sometimes take forever to figure out but when you do you want to kick yourself for not realizing it sooner. I still play this game every once in a blue moon just for the memories (I'm a very reminiscent person ^_^) If you have a Super Nintendo and you still like it, this was the best game for it so you should get it.
4627 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Oh, how I love this game, one of the most underrated RTS games I've played. Underrated because the original version of the game had major problems, and because the second game in the series seals the series' doom (it isn't very good).
7517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I would surely rate this game as the best tactical game ever made. What is striking is the succes the Red Storm has had in blending top level realism and good playability. The game is structured around a basic storyline where the Rainbow anti-terrorist organisation is hunting down a terrorist organization. You have to complete 15 levels (too few from my point of wiew) in order to accomplish your mission. Each level has a planning phase where you select the team members from a force pool, choose theyr equipment and decide the action plan. A nice feature is the "Default option", so that you can go thru this phase in as little as five seconds and jump directly into action. Once the game has started you can swich between any one of you teams, a feature that enables for an incredible flexibility.
The play control was very good for the Gameboy and some of the beta and zeta metroid's put up a pretty decent fight. The Spring Ball was a nice upgrade along with the Space Jump and new laser beams. The Queen Metroid was also a nice final boss. The ending is pretty cool and the music overall is done pretty well for the limited capabilities of the Gameboy.
I remember this was also the first Zelda game i played. My sis was getting an SNES, and i told her to get the Mario World bundle but she came back with this. Ugh i was angry! But eventually i played this game and fell in love with it, and in love with the zelda franchise.
Any and all short commings are made up by the great gameplay and a new concept BULLET TIME probably the coolest thing to come out in the last five years, with the exception of Max Payne 2.
5636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 bought the game when it premiered 10 yrs. ago and needed a new copy, still better than some modern games. I think it will always be a classic
Gameplay:
3530 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have realy enjoy this rumble pack .With sonic adventure 2 you feel everything even if it's a small rumbble.
I loved the sound the game would make then an X-Men character would lose a life and some of the sound effects were just so cool especially the air bomb sound effects when Storm would come down and wipe out the bad guys in the picture. So funny.
The video resolution looks like it was filmed through a potato.
2349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Truly classic game. If you grew up playing Pokemon, don't hesitate to pick up a copy of Pokemon Red or Blue and a GameBoy Color (they can be found pretty cheap used, or just go to your attic and get yours out). Sure you can emulate these games on your phone now, but the experience just isn't the same. The actual Nintendo hardware will provide you with an overwhelming onset of nostalgia, and you'll feel just as if you were a kid again.
Graphics were good for its time and I can't criticize them for that. Plus the 3D at the end was pretty realistic. Nothing like Kingdom Hearts or some other famous current RPGs.
That leads us to the PS1 controller. It's a *perfect* controller in every single way. You can easily remember the buttons on the controller, and where they are located in critical moments so you won't make any mistakes.
1331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very fun, long game. Simple controls that must be finely articulated to master this game. Some simple levels for kids, some difficult levels for those better at games!
Now Get Your ... Out Of The House And Go Skate!
Balance: Well-balanced board. A bit faster than the trick board but air and handling isn't as good.
744 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was awesome when I was little and owned my original N64, and it's still awesome to this day. You just can't outdo a good thing, and this game proves it.
'Nuff said.
6878 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was a little worried that my child may not be able to play it since his GameBoy is not a color one, but it works fine. Must have an automatic color blind assist. My child loves the game!
2768 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Myst" is the one that started it all. "Myst" is the game by which all other role-playing games are measured. No one had any idea when the game first came out in 1993 that it would eventually become the best-selling computer game of all time.
If you're new to the N64 and looking for some suggestions, here's a few MUST OWN:
4152 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I picked this game up. At first I was struck as to how much it resembles WARCRAFT (ORCS VS. HUMANS). Most of the level advancing, character animation and general game play is almost identical. At then end of the day, the purpose is to beat your enemy by advancing through civilizations and either conquering them, retrieving artifacts or constructing a wonder. The game is addictive, especially at the higher levels. If you can, try the multiplayer versions. There's nothing quite like playing against someone else. There are a few annoying little things. You can lose your people behind buildings and, in some cases, they get lost if sent on a roundabout route to their destinations. However, still a fun game and highly recommended.
This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. I still play Starfox 64 today, and it's just as much fun as when I got it 6 years ago. Everything seems perfectly tweaked and just right. A game for the ages.
Spyro controls rather well, but there is one constant problem throughout the game; the camera is, to put it frankly, garbage. Maybe that is a little harsh, but after 6 worlds of it, it gets on someones nerves. It is especially annoying when I glide, by hitting the X button twice, and I cant see where Im going, so I end up falling to my death. The player can control the camera with L2 and R2, but it doesnt go very fast, so he or she ends up having to wait for it to catch up with him or her. As for Spyros moves, they are swell. He can charge at enemies or flame them, but he cant just do this to every enemy. Some enemies have metal, so they must be charged at, while others are too big to be charged, so they must be flamed. Although the enemies are different in each world, this is the basic pattern, but it doesnt get redundant. Some of the enemies animations are actually pretty funny.
4790 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having played the original Battlezone, I can understand why players of the first game are so critical. The original was the very first of its kind, it successfully combined first-person shooters with real-time strategy.
3673 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me start off by saying that I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but that is largly in part because they put out some really great and often historical games. Who can forget Mario, or Zelda? Or how about the lovable Fox McCloud from Starfox? These are gaming benchmarks that have now been made with the Dreamcast. Second off, I really think Playstation is a good system but lacks what Sega and Nintendo have.. GAMEPLAY!! Most of Playstations games are nothing but a big cinematic heap and 2 minutes of gameplay. With that said, I just want to point out that Sega is a company that has seen nothing but hardships in there day, with Nintendo and Sony playing the main cards, Sega has really come to be the fallback system. Sega has never really caught my eye until the Dreamcast and that is simply because with its technology, creators can really push that extra mile to get a game as good as they can get it. Shenmue is an example of such a game (not to mention Soul Calibur). While Dreamcast maybe the fallback system, it's a system definatly worth buying since many great games come with this little square box. My hat goes off to Sega, they stayed in the race for a long time, I can't wait to see there next system. It's Thinking...
Like Sonic the Hedgehog was for Sega, and Mario was for Nintendo, Crash is for the Playstation.
2051 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 well i received cruis'n WORLD in the mail, not cruis'n USA. but i prefer it, so that's ok. that's the only reason i gave 4 stars. both are great
The game is visually stunning. Detailed landscapes throughout. BUT, 3/4 overhead view gets old. A change in game perspective would be nice.
8414 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 what can i say anybody that knows super mario rpg or played it when you were younger knows the glory of this game the game came on time and was in good shape
One person complained that the caves and maps were not randomly generated. This is not true....they are. I don't know what he/she thinks "Randomly Generated" means but he is wrong about it in this game. You ussually have an idea about what sortof oppenents will inhabit an area but you don't know which in particualar or where they are or where items will be or how the cave will be shaped. THEY ARE RANDOMLY GENERATED.
4638 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of the best games that I have played in a while. It has an engaging story line with more than one ending. It has challenging yet not difficult game play, the ability to be more than one character and great graphics. Its world is infinitely engaging. While this game as I said does have more than one ending it does not have an infinite amount of endings and that is its only downside.
2664 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Defective product---... Microsoft made these sticks back in the olden days when computers had game ports. They stopped making these and then brought them back into production. But by that time the computers no longer came with game ports so they supplied this stick with a UBS adapter (that is unique to this product- no standard UBS adapter will work). The seller did not include this adapter in the box and claimed that I was lying when I flied a complaint with Amazon..... In the end he sent me a UBS adapter that was made to fix some of these problems with these older devices but that did not work. So I returned the product.. He told me to send it back to him ( when a product Is defective the merchant is required to pay return shipping but he did not want to do that) and he would pay for the shipping when he got it back. He did not do that and then told Amazon that the adaptor was in the box.... well yes, the third party adapter was in the box, the one that he sent me in an attempt to solve the problem.
4455 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 They work great and have a good length cord. The buttons aren't stiff but they aren't touchy either. Just right.

2502 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At long last the PS1 version of Duke Nukem 3D. This is the game that Duke Nukem Forever is a sequeal to. DN:TM is a fun but dated by today standards, it does play on the PS3 but the graphics kind of spazz out when the screen goes red from lighting, the gameplay is rather tough even on the easy setting but who cares, this is still a fun game to play and once you get used to the controls it's even better.
Cream---HORRIBLE
Was I ever surprised! The team play features make this so much more fun, and greatly help someone who is quite new to this genre. I love that you just respawn when you die, it makes it so much less frustrating for a new player to not have to keep starting over from the beginning. As anyone knows, learning HOW to play games often is a big hurdle, and can take away from the enjoyment of a game if it is made difficult enough that experienced players get a lot out of it. Unreal Tournament does a great job of giving you a game that many levels of players can enjoy at the same time. By playing with a team, it can help develop a new player even more, as your team members can take up the slack while you are learning the ropes, and help you out in terms of where to go...it helps so much to have someone to follow when you are trying to return the flag on a big, confusing map!
1130 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is truly phenonemonal. From the amazing graphics (for what it is; a N64 game), to the music, to the challenging gameplay, to the engulfing storyline, the "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is a must-play for any age. You start the game off as young Link (or whatever you want to call him), who lives in an enchanted forest where young never grow old. Inside the forest, there is a godly tree, who could be considered to be infinitly wise. The tree senses Link has the power to overthrow a great evil which is arising, and tests him to the dungeon inside of him. Link comes out, sucessful, and the tree tells him the story of the great evil which is arising. From then on, you play young Link, and must overcome many obstacles. As a child, there are 3 dungeons, and the tree's counts as one, so you're making some time, right? WRONG. There's much more to this game then beating dungeons. As a child, you can't acess as many of the things, but after you advance 7 years to the future and attain the Master Sword, many of these things are then open to you. As a child, you got an ocarina, in which you must learn songs on to access special places or do special things. Now, you can do all those things, and more. My personal favorite is Epona's song, in which you place a horse's (Epona) song, and it comes to you, in which you can ride across Hyrule Field to get to places twice as fast. As a child, you have weapons like a stick (whoopey), a sword, a shield, a sling-shot, and Duku Nuts. As an adult, you can handle 2 swords: the Master Sword, and the Giant Sword, which is so big you must handle it with 2 hands, which means no shield. You also have the hook-shot, Megaton Hammer, bow-and-arrows, and magic crystals you can do different things with. I cannot begin to explain how amazing this game is. I'd buy a Nintendo 64 all over again just for this. Now I have a Playstation 2, and I still have my Nintendo 64, but only play two games on it; this, of course, and Super Smash Brothers. Now, do yourself a favor, buy this game, and experience teh magic yourself.
873 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first got the game, it was "Wow", thinking it would be the best. I have to admit, it is better than some games I have already played, but it just didn't have the zing of the other C&C games.
2254 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Nintendo 64 memory expansion pak upgrade is not vital for the most part, in terms of plugging up and playing many of the great titles already released for this console. But there are a few titles that absolutely require this upgrade. The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask and Donkey Kong 64 are two such titles for example, that cannot be accessed without this upgrade. Perfect Dark is one such title which offers minimal gameplay and locks players out of many of it's richer features due to the lack of available memory to run all of it's features properly. But I think you'll find that even if Donkey kong 64, Perfect dark, or Zelda Majora's Mask isn't your thing, you'll still be wanting to consider purchasing this Ram expansion for a few key reasons.
The graphics are entirely sprite-based, with an isometric 3d grid, akin to Sim City 2000, as the main playing area. Very dated (today's games, including Caesar IV, are entirely polygon-based), but still charming.
I like playing multiplayer and making my own scenarios (it's a laugh writing in the instructions and hints etc), but it gets kind of boring after awhile. But this doesn't draw away from the game itself.
it is such a pity that FF 7 is getting so much more attention, which i feel is undeserved. FF6 is clearly much more superiour in pretty much every way, other than graphics (only cause 7 came out on the ps instead of the snes). they made a movie off of 7, made spin off games off of 7, and are now talking about a FF7-2 kinda like they did with X-2. I don't think im the only one who would much rather have a continuation of 6 instead.
Story:10/10- Very well layed out, not just on a horror term but the scientific aspect of the game is amazing. The whole story behind the G-Virus and the backstory of how the T-Virus got spread through the town.
3724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and graphics
9554 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love a good tactics game, and this was the one that turned me on to them. While I get a little OCD about it and try to train the characters to be level 1 billion in all classes, oddly the tediousness of that makes me happy. Anyway, fun game, great for strategists.
The sound effects are decent, though there aren't many of them except for special attacks and impact sounds. The voices are good... not perfect, but good. Sometimes their dialogue can be rather cheesy, but I haven't found any cases of bad translation or poor grammar. Whoever said this game had poor translation needs to take a closer look at some of Square's latest titles, especially FF7 ("Don't give her it"). And, it's a cool effect to have characters who speak during battle, and will say things in response to what happens in the fight. The music is excellent, definitely reminiscent of the inspiring tunes of the SNES titles. Each town has a different song with it, and the music in dungeons and the like will easily set the atmosphere. The battle music is also fast-paced and catchy, as battle music should be.
Those of you who have played the first 2 games (Director's Cut excluded) will already be very familiar with the controls. But those of you (all three of you) who haven't, will have a little difficulty with adjusting to the controls. Me on the other hand, I'm a huge fan of the series and I know the basic layout. But don't worry about it, you'll have time to practice your controls in the beginning.
Gambit - War Machine - Wolverine
4364 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is and will always be the defining Strategy game. Its easy access interface and the quick pick up on controls alows this game to be great. The best part about this game is its multiplayer capabilities. Blizzard has given Starcraft players the ability to make their own games. Everything from tag to chase to movie contests are held on their FREE servers. I don't like to give 5 stars that easily but this game is the definition of fun.
4312 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If laughter is the best medicine, then cure your blues with this game. Lose yourself in the fun of being the top dog at your own amusement park. With a little logic and creativity, you will be successful... but don't think the game is silly or too easy... this one can be a challenge... and don't forget the expansion pack!
2996 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. It's probably not the best Final Fantasy, but it's still just so awesome! The graphics make the characters look like they're built of legos by today's standards, and the story is confusing, but I still love it! It's got some of the best characters and one of the best soundtracks of any video game, and if you're a video game-player and haven't yet played this, then get on it!
The story goes...
Can become a little boring near the end
Over 400 years ago, Dracula was betrayed by his son, Alucard, who aided Trevor Belmont in Dracula's defeat along with Grant (a nimble thief) and Sypha (a vampire-hunting sorceress). Now Alucard, who had put himself into what was supposed to be an eternal sleep, has risen again to put an end to his father ... permanently!
To a much lesser degree than the visuals, the musical score is undermined by the medium in which it's been presented. This is a soundtrack that would have shaken the earth if it were performed by a master orchestra. Unfortunately, the difference between a symphonic performance of these classic songs and the spotty, digitized portrayal that shipped with FF7 is as large as the difference between the sketches of the characters themselves and their eventual presentation on-screen. Sure, you'll recognize them without a second glance... but they've been crammed into a format that really can't do them any justice.
1030 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just bought this game a few weeks ago,and it's awesome. It just has that "This is going to be an epic game" from the get go. It has great graphics,even to this day.
Overall, if you like The Sims, or Zoo Tycoon, you will enjoy this game! It is addicting, and is now a favorite of mine! I'm so happy I gave it a chance.
4338 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Revolutionized the genre with the right recipe of strategy, fun, truly amazing graphics, music, diversity in races strengths.
1780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product. [:
Sound and Music: 9.5/10.0 This game has one of the best scores in the video game world, and the ocarina songs are very good. 100% credit to the music makers of all the Zelda Games, these are some great songs. The only problem is you can't shut it off. Sometimes it gets annoying, and it doesn't help if you are stuck on a level for hours.
-Plot
First off, whats up with the difficulty modes? You're only given two choices; Hard or Easy. And their both screwed up. Why?
In other words, I think one should evaluate TOSC using one simple maxim as a guide: namely, are the new areas fun to play? In my opinion, the new areas in TOSC are both challenging and enjoyable. One of the levels (***BEWARE, SPOILERS HERE***), the ice island is a throwaway, but the other two, Werewolf Island and Durlag's Tower, are impressive. Werewolf Island does have a captivating plot, and although it's size in terms of area isn't large, the battles are numerous and semi-difficult. Durlag's Tower provides players with something that BG kind of lacked: a decent dungeon crawl. I found Durlag's Tower very involving and moderately difficult. Unlike the ridiculous monster count and borderline unplayability (in terms of difficulty) of Icewind Dale's dungeons, Durlag's Tower strikes a nice balance between being difficult but not too difficult; it knows how to challenge players without forcing them to die, reload, die, reolad, die reload, ad infinitum.
3.lives are easier to get,Ive got seven lives on the first level.
When it came out 3 years or so ago i was hooked to it immediately and i finished it in about a month. But since then i finished it around 10 more times and i still enjoy playing the full game today after 3 years! It is that good. The controls are absolutely perfect and the targeting system works perfectly for most combat situations.

- An original take on the Vampire story
1241 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games of all time. In this game, there are 30 different levels that are mostly composed of the same 3D Crash levels that we're used to. Some levels, however, you get to use a biplane, motorcycle, or Jet Ski. Like the previous versions of Crash, you have to collect crystals and gems. Now, you can also collect a relic for having the best time. The music is fun, the controls are easy and it's just an overall great game for any age.
2896 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The listing shows a picture of the original black label version of the game. You most likely will not be getting that version. Instead, you'll be getting the green label 'greatest hits' version which is worth a lot less. So the listing is misleading because I'm 100% sure not everyone is selling a black label version. Just something to consider to save yourself money and not get ripped off.
8977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it! I can't believe I still remember where half of the secret passages/bonuses are.
9582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy is easily one of the best console games ever created. There are many reasons for this, but it all culminates into one solid reason... replayability. There is no other game that I can play over and over again (with each game easily stretching over 40 hours) and not get bored. It takes a lot of assets to make something this replayable. So what are these elements?
Horrible graphics, abysmal gameplay, Token collecting is impossibly hard, annoying levels, Frustrating ennimies and FLICK DOES NOT SHUT UP!!!
You're probably thinking with all this fast-pace action the game must be hard. Nope. It's easy once you master the moves. But you have to master them because you have to be able to deliver them to your opponents as quickly as you can! You'll beat it eventually, though. A must buy!
8988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Purchased this game for my granddaughter. She loves the game. And she is very good at it. She started when she was 4 playing the game Helps with dexterity.
1. It was a rip off of FF7. if you want to get FF8 but haven't played FF7 get FF7.
7. SNES: He, Link, must recover seven crystals hidden in seven dungeons (sounds logical). With the maidens' power, they will open to door to Ganon's castle.

(If this sounds vague and hard to understand, then good! I'd hate to spoil the plot
Dialouge: .5/10 HORRIBLE! From Wesker's "Stay alert" and "GET AWAY FROM HIM! HE'S INSANE!" To Barry's "What IS this?" amd "Well, Let's hope this isn't Chris's blood!"
The story to this game is basically just that an alien named Xaero likes to watch people kill each other so he captures all sorts of gladiators from all over the universe and puts them against each other in combat. The character you start with is Sarge, and I suspect he's the same Sarge from Doom 3. You also get to use Ranger, who was the character in Quake 1, and also the character from the original Doom, who's name is Doom. Basically the characters in this game comprise of soldiers, aliens, demons, and cyborgs, all of which come from the other Doom or Quake games, and a few I don't recognize. But I can't figure out why people keep comparing this game to Unreal Tournament. They're two totally different games and shouldn't be compared. This is a Quake game, and UT isn't. But all in all, I found this game incredibly fun. I've spent hours just playing through it multiple times.
Get to about... oooh... Level 7. Battle relentlessly until both characters are nearing the end of their tether. Open your attack and watch as the opposition stops it and fires one back, knocking you out. Pound your controller through the floor while screaming "BUT-I-PUSHED-PUNCH-THEN!"
6596 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now this is gonna sound complicated: all Final Fantasy games were released in Japan first(and still are) then they come here. Well back when we had NES/SNES, they released Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy IV, and Final Fantasy VI and renamed them to 1, 2, and 3 respectively. So once Final Fantasy VII(probably the best RPG ever created and I don't throw that around lightly) came out in 1997, people went "whoa, 7? what about 4 to 6?" Enter Anthology, Chronicles and Origins and the recently announced Final Fantasy III remake for the DS. This review deals with Final Fantasy Anthology, containing V and VI

9218 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I never played much of the Mario vs Donkey Kong series, and saw this on the Nintendo eShop on my 3DS and thought, "eh, looks like a port to the original arcarde game, only in black and white, which is lame." Like many others, I was so wrong! I read more into it and figured I'd shell out four bucks for the download. Best four bucks I have ever spent! You start out with the original four levels arcade, the last one included which was left out in the NES version. Other than the improved appearances of the characters and backgrounds of the original game, only in black and white (or if you're using the Super GameBoy peripheral for the SNES, color with the arcade cabinet and slightly improved sounds). At the end of the fourth level, you defeat Donkey Kong and save your girlfriend, Pauline. You can choose to turn off your GameBoy or exit the game on your 3DS... or you can let it play out as Donkey Kong rises back up, smashing the ground, making you, Mario (aka Jumpman), and Pauline fall. Poor Pauline falls into the arms of that donkey of an ape and chases off with your girlfriend (Mario's secret girlfriend... Don't tell Peach!)! You have to chase after him in 9 more worlds, resulting in 97 more puzzle-platforming.
The sound is incredible! The zombies sound so realistic and the music for the boss fights are magnifecent(my spelling sucks I know). The sound it self deserves a one star...
The Genesis version on the game proved to be the worst on many occassions. Although it had the best storyline and graphics, it was too dark and difficult for kids plus the controls were sloppy, the game play was slow, the music score was awful, and the taunt button was a waste. Shredder was no where to be found in this game and the only connections to the 1987 cartoon series was Krang and the Technodrome. The image was drawn closer to Mirage comics, especially when this game was suppose to be marketed for kids, but even teens and young adults can get fustrated and bored as well. I wouldn't recommend this product if you are looking for a good fighting game. This is not the worst fighting game, but it could have done better.

7460 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is just a simple race game that makes you want to be the best against the computer and therefore also against your friends. Simple to understand and good graphics for an N64 game.
The graphics are surprisingly good for being an N64 game.
The music score may actually be the most rewarding thing for Final Fantasy VII. The music score manages to fill the situations for the right moment. But it also isn't afraid to showcase a lot of emotion either. There are some moments where it can be dark and others where it's very light. In particular, the character themes are really nice and memorable. Final Fantasy VII doesn't have the best soundtrack within the series, but it has some of the most memorable music numbers of the entire series.

3501 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Just as the title of my review says: It was a cool and original, sort of innovative idea that went underrated and underused. But at the end of the day, all I needed was a gadget to save my Dreamcast game files, and it does that perfectly.
There isn't much story to the game. There are a few laughs gained with the enemies, but nothing heavy in the story department. There are only 3 cut scenes in the game, so that should be a notice. This doesnt detract too much from the main experience, but it also doesnt help by not having much.
This is just my opinion,but I found Shadow Madness to be alot more fun then the horrific ff8! I guess today's R.P.G players have a major case of A.D.D; their attention can only be held by eye candy and noise. Why do so many people bash fun games??
Lets start
I do not know if this game can still be found, I really doubt it, but if you come to find it, by all means buy it!!
Finally, the big experiment! All you gotta do is don your protective Hazardous Enviornment Suit, go into the armored, airlock-accessible chamber, and follow some simple instructions. What's this? A senior scientist notices an anomoly as your team bombards an alien substance, but "it's well within acceptable parameters."
The developers were extremely detailed with environment in this beautiful game. It's really eye-candy and I honestly enjoyed the script: it's funny in parts and wonderfully descriptive in its brevity. The writers did a great job setting the mood. Comic and noir lovers will be especially pleased as it is above all artful.
The only complaint I have about the game is in regards to Couch Fishing. You are going to seriously blister your fingers trying to reel in your catch unless you have a Turbo controller. Other than that, this is a very overlooked installment in the Genesis' library. Even Beavis wouldn't be able to say "This sucks!"
6628 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I think that the review at the top of this game has it right -- not enough questions. Also, the $100 through $1000 questions are too hard (compared to the TV show).
As for the story it isn't to bad. It is a little childish but its still pretty good. The characters while the voice acting can be off at times can be good are very memorable. Tron Bonne makes her debut here as a villian who became popular enough to get her own game misadventures of tron bonne and a apperance in marvel vs. capcom 2 and appearing without megaman in the 3rd. There is also a N64 port of this game which isn't as good but if you don't have a psx its still playable plus a sequel. Anyway while the hardcore 8bit megaman players may be turned off by this i would still recomend getting this game
So is there anything wrong with this game? Ofcourse there is! While you will get the chance to play as Richter, you'll never be able to play as Maria unless you buy a Japanese Sega Saturn (or an American one with a mod-chip) and Nocturn in the Moonlight.
So, I'm assuming you're a diehard Pokemon fan, and you're curious about getting this game, right?
Get this game if you have a sega Dreamcast....It's just pure fun!
2507 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Today i saw this game at the store for 12 bucks, and i'm gonna pick it up since i have a PS2. I rented it 2 times (after that the dumb stores got rid of their copies) and it was better than the sega saturn version. The graphics didn't have the neat lighting effects, but the game was a whole lot more like the pc version. If you have a PC get that version, if you have a ps2 get this version, or both. I'm probably one of the biggest Duke fans in my area, i have the origional Duke 3D for PC, the Atomic Edtion , The sega saturn version(my 1st copy), Duke Manhatten Project, Time to Kill, Land of the Babes, the Duke Nukem album, all of the Duke Nukem action figures, The Duke Nukem screen saver pack, and now this. As the great Duke would say "Holy S@$T!" Any way if you are one of the few who don't have a PS2 yet here's what will happen to this game.. You know how these losers say the game looks flat? Lie! You know how they say the N64 version looks better? They fogot to tell you the game is cut up (no nude chix), and the textures are super-low res. But with this vesion, when you set up your PS2 for smooth texture mapping, it will make all the "2D" images get smooth edges, and the textures will be nice and smooth. Since the game is almost all sprites(which isn't realy a bad thing at all, easier to edit on pc) Every image on screen will look close to a PS2 game! The reason i don't give this 5 stars is because you can't edit it like the PC version.
Definitely a lot to do on part 2, great assortment of power and new moves!, the crativity invested in the artisting side and levels design its superb, the game introduces a new way to increase the challenge of trying to get everything in the game, as usual the controller configuration in the CB series its simple and easy to get use to, the comedy makes a better experience during frustation times!, if you liked the first CB, get this one now!.
7297 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you're looking for a solid racer to fill out your N64 game collection with, F-Zero X is a great choice. The graphics are low on detail, but Nintendo compensated with a huge emphasis on speed. Tracks twist and turn every which way, including death-defying jumps, corkscrews, half pipes, and cylinders. The familar F-Zero soundtrack has been updated too, and keeps the excitment high.
Anyway, I love this game. I have played it multiple times, and while it isn't my favorite FF title (that honor is shared by FFVI and FFVIII), it holds a special place in my heart. I read in the spotlight above that one reviewer gave up on the game because Aeris died; this seems odd (I mean, really, these are only video game characters, and can someone really get worked up that much over the merely-physical death of a single heroine?). I myself found this a bit silly (characters get killed all the time in RPGs; didn't Cloud have a Phoenix Down on hand?), but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the game. The gameplay, the sidequests, the graphics (for their time), the Chocobos - all come together quite well in this title. I particularly enjoyed the frustration (and ultimate satisfaction) of defeating Emerald and Ruby, and the storyline is OK as well. I'm sure that everyone has played this, but if you haven't, well, give it a try.
The end of the game, oddly enough, consists of the easiest Dracula fight since Castlevania 2 (where you could simply lay on the laurels for invincibility for the fight's duration). I won't give it away, but Dracula's second form is even more pathetic, in terms of an attack pattern, than the first (in either case, Dracula looks silly in this one). Given how hard this game is, though, it's probably not a bad thing to have some reprieve.
Believe me, this is a superb city building game wherein you start your career as a clerk, completing the various assignments allotted to you and finally get to be Caesar himself. You have to build cities that are prosperous and well defended from unwanted invaders.
3369 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Around 1999 this game hit shelves on the coat tails of the success of the famed Resident Evil series. It even comes with a demo for Resident Evil 3 Nemesis! That said, this is not Resident Evil. It has similar controls and a story a little too silly to understand, but that is it.
3 Piranhas
If you're an Alfred Hitchcock fan, you'll love this game. It's very reminiscent of the movies "Psycho," (there's even a funny shower scene as a tribute) and "Rope". Set in the swamps of Louisiana in 1927, a young college girl accompanies her friend to the friend's family reunion on a secluded, run-down Civil War plantation. After the head of the family tells his relatives and servants that his wealth will be ditributed to them equally when he dies, murder and mayhem soon follow. As an earlier reviewer stated, this game is great for a cold, dark night. Many details and occurrences of this game are exciting and haunting: from the ghost of a teenage girl in the cemetery and the discovery of the family Bible in the Chapel, to the stories Celie (former plantation slave) tells you of how it was in the old days and the notes and letters left behind by the original land owners who saw that their end was near (referring to the spread of the Civil War). This game is full of mystery and suspense. Despite its aged EGA graphics and typing interface, it will still captivate any gamer who has a hunger for suspense. Regardless of how much graphics, video, and sound improves, this reamins my all-time favorite game.
Resident Evil is great, but I would go for the pyschological thriller than a slasher flick. If you're just looking for a game to scare you out of your wits, you can't get any better than these two original hits.
7295 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From the moment I turned it on and heard the DK Rap I know I was in for fun fun fun. This game so good I don't even know what to rave about first. All five Kongs rock. Lanky is awesome, this is ssssssooooooooooo much better than any other N64 game. The battle mode is awesome fans of GOLDENEYE will love it. I love this game. RARE did one hell of a job making this one, don't believe me, look at the others reviews. DK 64 is the best game yet. DK 64 FOR PRESIDENT! ohhhhhh bannana!!
5963 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diablo I was a great game, it just gobbled up the hours, one right after the other and gave you free access to web site to play with others. Diablo II is all that and more.
Imagine that you end up in a land, where you have to put together the pieces to figure out what happened. This is both Myst and Riven.
7751 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Mario Kart 64 will always be the best. I don't consider myself fully biased, though. This game really is that bad.
3368 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game isn't historically important(in the history of videogames), it's derivitive, and flawed, but I still had a lot of fun playing it. It's like a good b-movie. I tend not to like the graphics of playstation games, I preferred the snes back in the day, but here they work. The graphics lean towards realism but have a hint of anime influence, and I think they did a really great job on the dinosaur models, and most of the animations are pretty expressive, the limping of Regina when she's injured for example. The grainyness of the graphics enhance the b-movie feel. The voice acting isn't great but each character has a distinct personality. I also enjoyed the item mixing system, this allows you to customize the difficulty of the game, you can choose to use weak items or level+ items. There is also a decent amount of strategy in the game depending on the kind of weapon you use: raptors will be unfazed, stunned, or knocked down depending on the strength of the weapon; and there are also laser shields in some areas you can use to knock down raptors in order to run from them.
479 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 IT'S TOMB RAIDER, WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW???
9190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 KI has always been one of my person favorite fighting games,right behind Mortal Kombat II.The characters,storyline,graphics,gameplay and soundtrack was just so great that this game quickly became a classic. If you own an SNES,and if you love fighting games,then you NEED THIS GAME FOR YOUR COLLECTION!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!
The control is nice and responsive, though the jumping physics may take a bit of time to get used to. From a stand-still, Aladdin doesn't jump nearly as far as he would from running. It's also worth noting that when changing your direction from left to right, the screen will snap to adjust to Aladdin's direction. Considering this is a Dave Perry/Doug TenNappel designed game, these aspects are almost expected For those that are used to games like Earthworm Jim, it's not a problem. However, those that are expecting a game that controls like Super Mario World, stop it, and accept these controls for what they are. Objectively speaking, there's nothing wrong with them, and they absolutely are tight. Nothing here feels slippery, at all, and jumping, though a shallow learning curve is there, is absolutely spot-on and feels great once you know how to do it.
6952 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first Grand Theft Auto was great. London mission pack is simply just that, a mission pack. It does not feature any real innovation. However, the classic GTA gameplay is still quite a bit of fun. Joyriding is great, and it can seriously eat up hours upon hours of your time. The missions are even more excting this time, as well as violent. So what is wrong with the game? Nothing really, it is just that driving on the oppostie side of the road and hearing everyone talk in a british accent gets annoying.
8754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Two player fun, makes the game fun and exciting.
5772 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Let's just get one thing out of the way, the battle system in this game is bad. Very bad. There are much too many random battles, a lot of the time you're "drawing" magic from enemies (a HORRIBLE idea on square's part, it makes no sense and is extremely tedious) both to use and EQUIP it to your characters. Since the power of your equipped magic is based in the number you have, and all of your enemies have an unlimited number of the magics they're able to carry, you spend a LOT (a WHOLE lot, HOURS) of time just hitting that draw button and selecting which magic to get from them. Yeah, not fun, at all. Both the equipment and magic systems are bad. The new focus on summoned monsters as equippable characters which level up and gain skills to boost your character, such as strength upgrades or upgrades to themselves which boost their damage or HP, is really not fun at all, since there's zero strategy involved. You just level up and decide which skill they'll learn after enough battles. I easily blew through the first half of this game, killing bosses in a ludicrously low number of hits. I couldn't stand the second half, it was just more of the same, and the story line became very, very stupid. A select few will actually like this sappy love story mixed with something about a summoner going to destroy the world and some other junk that I just didn't care about. The love story was actually the best part, and the rest felt like a filler. There really isn't anything to praise about this game that separates it from previous Final Fantasy games. A sub-par RPG.
2330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very Good game. It is so good. You get to play a lot of diffrent characters, like, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala & Captian Panaka. It woyuld be cool if they let you play Jar Jar Binks, but they don't. Oh, weel. Jar jar is one of my Favorite Characters in the film. the best part is you get to battle darth Maul. and it goes along with the movie too. This game rocks. This is a must have game for all star wars fans.
Yes it's a little complicated to install and improve, you will want to back up everything as you go along, but at least it can run on an average computer, and the game has a very adjustable AI. The final result is unquestionably five stars for the money, a fantastic game!
- It sucks to only be able to hit your opponent with a weapon 2 or 3 times before they block it (every time, no joke) the weapons don't consist much more then chairs and bats.
Final Fantasy Tactics follows the adventures of a young soldier who discovers that the simple world he believes in is far too complicated; his best friend turns against his family and friends, and trustworthy figures transform into monsters. Along his journey of discovery, civil war, and heroism, he is thrust into many battles and must learn, along with allies and friends he gains along the way, to be a master of tactical warfare.
UmJammer Lammy follows the formula of Parappa the Rapper in which you press buttons as they appear on the top of the screen, following with the rhythm. This time, instead of rapping, you are playing guitar riffs (but the guitar's in your miiiinddd!!!), but the actual gameplay really isn't different. It's the same rhythmic press Square-Circle-L-Triangle-or-whatever-else-in-order-and-with-proper-timing shtick that made people hail Parappa as the first modern rhythm game. And they have every right to; this is a lot of fun! And the fun is backed up by the wacky, imaginative scenarios Lammy gets herself into and the catchy music that serves as the game's seven levels. The songs are actually not as memorable as those of Parappa, but they're still fun in their own right (although the lyrics can sometimes be cringe-inducing). And yes, the control and timing work well! I mean, sure, the game may still inaccurately down/uprank you at a few instances, but I had never flat-out gotten a Game Over from that. In fact, during my second playthrough, I've only ever had to replay a level two times total. The game does progressively grow more and more challenging, but not to the point where it's unfair or impossible.
3219 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is without a doubt the best game for the Dreamcast. If you own this game and you have friends or family for competition around to compete with then you know exactly what I am talking about.
2782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a classic game to me that i will never completely forget. It has a coroperative mode, which is all i ever played. I must admit, though, the graphics are NOT very good. but if you don't care then this is a good choice
Taking the overworld map first introduced in "SMB3", for the first (and, until the 2012 "New Super Mario Bros. U", only) time on a home console Mario game, the map is connected and completely visible, unlike its predecessor. Previously, the worlds were divided into individual maps, but not "Super Mario World". From the get go, you could view the entire game map. Dinasaur Land comprises seven different areas, played in this order: Yoshi's Island, guarded by Iggy Koopa; Donut Plains, guarded by Morton Koopa Jr., Vanilla Dome, guarded by Lemmy Koopa, Twin Bridges, guarded by Luwig von Koopa; the Forest of Illusion, guarded by Roy Koopa; Chocolate Island, guarded by Wendy O. Koopa; and the Valley of Bowser, home to not only Bowser but Larry Koopa as well.
1635 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 exactly as described exactly as described why 17 words said what i wanted there is nothing else to say and this thing whants me to to keep writing if they don't change that crap i will never leave a review again
858 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 10/10, one of the best games ever released on any console. The story-line is amazing, it captivates you swiftly. The game-play is also awesome, and the graphics, evil bosses, etc., it's just one of the best games in the market. At some point, we all wished to become Link, play a tune or two with an Occarina, and may day turn into night, or draw towards you a horse named Epona.
4780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For a two dimentional game, you won't find one better. This game has a great storyline, exceptional graphics, awesome sound effects, yada, yada, yada........you will not regret playing this game even if you don't play games that often. This game will hook you within the first ten minutes. The only thing that could prove me wrong is if you don't want to take the time to read what some of the articles actually do once you pick them up. You have to constantly decide what to wear and what to use.
Convinced the PC versions better? Makes you feel like the PSX you played was lacking, huh?
You can even customize your own map, and play in another country or in a mythical situation of your own devising.
As you complete each stage, you will encounter bad guys (from pathetic to tough), pick ups (food, items for points and weapons) and bosses. You will encounter on average 1-2 sub bosses a stage as well as a main boss. You will end up having to beat some of the bosses several times throughout your journey, increasing the need to make sure you have proficiently found a way to dispatch the bosses.
Overall, this is an addicting game.
and it certainly doesn't stop until the end!
FLAWLESS VICTORY!!
2. sound sampling on the characters could use some work. They sound a bit truncated.
5437 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a really good MK game at the time. Heck. It still is good. It's got all the characters from Mortal Kombat-Ultimate MK3,Plus with the fatalities,friendships,babalities,ect. But there are some problems with this game. It does not include EVERY single background from the first game,like it does with MK II and MK3/UMK3. It's got the courtyard,the pit,the pit bottom and Goro's dungeon,but where are the rest??? I found that to be a major issue for me. Another problem I had with it,is alot of the backgrounds don't have the music in them,from the original games. It seems all kind of shuffled up. Lastly,another little issue is,you cannot perform a stage fatality in the pit 2,that was orginally in MK II,which IMO,was the best stage fatality out of the first three games(Including UMK3)...oh and why is Johnny Cage all of a sudden fighting with his shades on??? But Overall though,if you can overlook the little flaws,I guess this is a good game...but IMO in could have been somewhat better.
The games are fun, and the controller feels great, there have been suspicions that the Xbox 1 and Xbox 360 controller was designed from it. Graphics are great for the time, and still aren't a eye sore, even when compared to todays system graphics, it holds up fairly well.
Level one is the battle of Hoth, and where this games story begins. It is almost like the Battle Of Hoth in RS on one of the bonus missions. The graphics aren't RS, but that didn't matter. You gun down the probe droids, go after the Chicken Walkers, and then trip the Walkers. Then the story begins, what's happening is this game starts from Empire Strikes Back (the movie) and after the Battle Of Hoth, it's following the story of another Rebellion, Dash. And what it leads to is the events that have happened in between Empire Strikes Back & Return Of The Jedi.
555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent, not a scratch and perfect case.
-Because it runs off bigger versions of CD's (Well GD's) and not DVD.. you will not be able to play a movie off this.. (But Music seems to work fine)
The thing about BG is that you can play it within an hour to a satisfactory level. But as you progress, you begin to realise that there is literally no end to the level of complexity with which you may approach the game. On top of all that, the interface of BG somehow manages to be much more simple than others and is a pleasure to interact with.
7885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember getting this game when it came out. I didn't hear anything about it but my mom was willing to buy me anything. I'm glad she bought it for me.
9024 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the first game in the DK series put out by SNES. And as with most things i think that the original is always better. I love all the DK games but this one is my personal favorite. This game was a technical marvel in its time. There are so many levels and hidden items. Even next to the games of today this game could hold its own. Its a great game. You won't regret buying this.
8892 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My subject line says it all. Illusion of Gaia takes you on a roaming journey on which you never return to any previous location once you leave the area. The story is charming and becomes increasingly more epic as it unfolds. The action RPG gameplay is pretty fun, and the fact that you can only clear each screen of enemies once (the method for leveling up) keeps the player from over leveling and taking the challenge out of the game. The game is basically linear, with one collection side quest that rewards the player in various ways.
Bought it new and the buttons stopped working after only a couple of days
Donkey Kong Country became the best selling Super Nintendo game of all time for a good reason. The levels and trying to find all of the bonuses is very fun and challenging. The graphics seem way better than the 16-bit that they actually are. Donkey Kong Country also has great sound effects when you kill an enemy or lose a life and great music during the levels.
- The Super NES version plays the New Junk City theme throughout the Down the Tubes stage which is more fitting since this particular theme accurately and atmospherically gives off the feeling of being underwater. In the Genesis version Down the Tubes plays the Level 5 music which feels entirely wrong since Level 5's music has a "mad scientist" vibe.
9575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was probably the second strategy rpg I have ever played. The funny(and perhaps sad) thing is that this may still be the king of the genre. I have been playing the game again and am still amazed at the depth and challenge of this game. The different jobs and skill each character can master is simply astounding. The challenge of the battles is tough but not impossible. Yes, you will have to play some random battles to level your characters a bit, but its worth it.
The Shadowrun setting is essentially a mix between Blade Runner and Lord of the Rings. You have major corporations controlling a dystopic metropolis (Seattle) while at the same time elves, ghouls, trolls, dragons and other fantasy creatures are seen in everyday life. With you get magic spells along with guns and cybernetic implants. In this game you are an operative for hire. A shadowrunner. This entails you getting assignments ranging from being a bodyguard, courier, corporate thief and more. Along the way you also have a personal mission to take care of. The way this all is put together makes for some great gameplay.
While many would argue that the graphics are dated and while they may be very dated by 2004 standards, this game was many years ahead of it's time and I still love every moment of this game.
This game is also much scarier, not to mention much bloodier, than the previous Resident Evil game. The last time around, only *sometimes* zombies would break a window and try to attack you (along with crows, dogs and other dangerous enemies). In Nemesis, not only do windows break all the time, but zombies can pop out of cars, jump down from buildings, and other incredible things. Many times you will be caught completely off guard when it happens, too. This is awesome.
The goal of the game is to collect one-million zenny (a Capcom monetary unit) to pay off the Bonne family debts. The young, morally-unencumbered Tron is a mechanical whiz, so she sets off in the mighty ship Gesselschaff with its robotic crew to raise the funds the old-fashioned way: by stealing them.
6246 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'm giving 1 star because this is one of the cheapest packages I have ever bought, it looks like a pirated copy! No, wait, a pirated copy would look better!!
9800 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!!! It brought back those old RE memories with the scare and decision making. This was my first RE I got and from this one, I've loved the series every since...A must for the true RE fans
The best thing Rayman 2 does is get you engaged with the world- the true aim of this type of game, in my mind. You will love Rayman, his friends, and his world by the end of the game.
5397 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game came in working order and brought back heaps of nostalgia while playing it. It's not the best N64 game out there in regards to storyline and play modes - infact there's not much you can really do in this game, but that's not why I bought it. Regardless, it's still a fun time wasting game to play alone or with friends.
9803 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 No it isn't. This is a standard platformer with extremely sluggish control, no secondary weapons, and slow movement. Plus, your whip loses power each time an enemy hits you. This is a pain. The saving grace is that you can obtain a whip that shoots fireballs and the first stage has GREAT music. But that can't save the game. Even CastleVania fans should steer clear of this one.
Cardcaptor Sakura - white & pink w/ artwork (Japan, 1999)
The graphics are decent, there not RS but it's still fun. I know it's the original, but it felt good to actually get out of the crafts and vehicles and do some running around for a change.
In total, it is a good vampire action rpg for people who love vamps and good stories with a twist;)
9653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game came in perfect with no problems
Sonic has speed 1 thing that makes things go faster there are items unlike mario u collect ring when u have 100 rings u get an extra life, there is the shield which can allow u to take an extra hit and still have rings. when u get hit with no rings u die with rings you can still play, extra lives there is a box with sonic's face in it that gives u extra lives. there is a box with a ring in it hit that and u get 10 rings at the end of a zone there is a giant ring when u have 50 rings there u can go to a special stage where u can get the six chaos emeralds which do nothing but make a better ending.
8146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game offers hours and hours of fun and excitement for children, adults, gamers AND non-gamers. Well worth any money spent on it.
But as you can tell 4 stars is saying alot cause this game definetely restores my faith in the playstation and it's over-rated games.
5.) Wutai
688 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game came exactly as described and i think its the rare version
Whether you've never played this classic or you're looking back on the 'good old days', you should play it. This
Enjoyable game though.
This is the most important part for some people, although I tend to find the story to be nearly as important. For me, if the story is bad, it would take phenomenal game play to keep me engaged in the game. The game play here was average, it has a pretty typical timer set-up, nothing to write home about. I'm not sure if this game invented timer play, if so Kudos to Square Enix. The timer play did make the beginning more interesting in that you were literally thrown into the game with no instructions, so it took a little while to get a hang of the game play. Once I figured out the game play though (~1hr of game time, most of which is scenes) I quickly grew tired of this game.
+ A well put together co-op mode and a deathmatch mode with working bots.
464 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I wasent as inpressed with this game as I thought I would be. First of all, the load times are forever. Second, this game has cartoon graphics. Theird, I hate the street fighters in this game. Forth, I love the x-men (they are absolutly fabulus).
4475 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent!
2488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Game is Awsome...purely...AWSOME!!!! I has an OK 1 player made but... the multiplayer is just outstanding!! This is a great party game... You just can't stop playing. Personally, DK, Fox, Kirby are my Favorites...btw...if you set the damage in multiplayer to 200%, then hit players 1-3 times using DK's ^+B spcieal move, your opponent will FLY!!! AND I MEAN FLY!!! ;) My Friends hate this move!!! :) Also Fox's \/+B Special move, you can reflect all moves and attacks!!! and Kirby can suck players abilities and fall on them with his \/+B special move like a brick!!! You have to buy this game!! It is the best ever!!
4.the overall feel of the game is superb
But I'm pretty easy to please.
4880 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks
5 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!
8573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super fast shipping, grandson loves it. Thanks
The level design is excellent.
REMEMBER THAT SOME GAMES REQUIRE THE USE OF A KEYCODE, OTHERWISE THE GAMESHARK WILL
4307 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game got me interested in the RTS genre all over again. It is wonderful: full three dimensions of movement, a camera that's easy to use, beautifully-rendered ships and an engrossing storyline. The only strikes against it, in my view, are the near-identical ships of the playable races, and the lack of variety in Homeworld multiplayer missions.
The graphics are excellent. There are different scenes behind every battle such as the Danger Room, the Bayou..aka Gambit etc. Each character has very cool voice overs which are played at the end of each battle.
The story begins when Cloud Strife, a teenager who joined a secret organization known as AVALANCHE, tries to help destroy huge machines called Mako Reactors, which suck the planet's life energy away in order for electricity to exist in Midgar (a city). Oh, and as for the evil man who's behind this deed? President Shinra. It was the president of Midgar who built the reactors, and now, it's up to Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and the rest of AVALANCHE to bring Shin-ra co. down.
4276 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love strategy games that really get you thinking. Roller Coaster Tycoon garners many accolades in that it allows you to wear a variety of hats: city planner (as you lay out your park), architect (as you design your rides), landscape architect (as you grade the terrain and select the perfect varieties of trees and shrubs), park manager (as you raise and lower the price of popcorn), and so much more. In addition, Roller Coaster Tycoon wraps all of this in a layer of camp--imagine finishing the design of a new coaster, opening it up, children file in, then turn green and vomit on their way out...oops! too intense! The sounds in the game are hilarious. It even allows you to select individual children and assign them names affording you the ability to track their moves. Click on any child and you can see what he or she is carrying, how much money they've spent and what their needs are. Do you have enough bathrooms? Enough restaraunts? Benches? This game is fun! Well worth the low price.
7090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the most satanic doom (well before doom 3) I great game, following dooms classic "it gets harder and harder as you go" probably my favorite doom of them all. what can you say? its a DOOM game, more importantly, itsthe only platform version of this game. turn off the lights and grab your 64,
But later you get to play Link, who is an adult elf with a pointy nose. He has the Trueforce of Braveness, so that means he is very brave. He can throw dynamites into walls to blow them up and reveal secret buried treasures! I wonder if the treasures were hidden by magic pirates? Later on, Link gets the Bassoon of Time and can play it to make it snow! I think Link is kinda mentally handicapped though because he never talks. He just goes "Ugh! Hiyah! AUGHHHHHH!" and stuff.
Pick up a copy of this best game ever and join the many who have undertaken the jounrey of self discover, belief, and their own torment.
i'd give it a 95%
8132 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let me start by saying that Dark Reign 2 isn't the only 3D-RTS game out there. There are at least two others - Ground Control and Earth 2150. Both games are getting good reviews, and it looks increasingly as though Dark Reign 2 is the going to be the only 3D-RTS to get some very bad reviews. Why? Part of that is due to bad timing, since Ground Control and Earth 2150 were released first. The other reason is because there are deficencies in gameplay that should've been corrected before they were released.
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
The game overall had the most nostalgic feel and introducing the character's personalities through the stages. This game kind of set up Peach's obsession with cake and Luigi being the gadgeteer of the two brothers. The music for the stage is very cute especially in Rainbow Castle. I love how whoever gets 4th place gets the butt monkey treatment and attacked by the stage while 1st player achieves the mission needed.
So I have to deal with the graphics issues only in the menu screens.
9489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the best format for playing football better than how football games are now. Tecmo or any company should bring this style back just update some little things (not too much like tecmo bowl on PS1!) keep it 2D and we would have a winner.
If your a fan of Pokemon, and want to see the original roots, get this game!
4006 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 OK
1558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks
4598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though some will tell you that XL is the best, XL doesn't have analog support. And besides, the tracks in 3 are just hard enough. And the female voice of your ship's computer is helpful, while not being irritating. The music is great, and like some PSone games, you can drop it into your computer and rip it. Chemical Brothers - Under the Influence is probably my favorite song on this.
5055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is multiplayer without the multiplayer thats what makes this game so awsome, and the graphics and sound kick a$#
7928 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great classic game to continue on with the donkey kong series the only thing that would make it better is keeping some of the original characters
Now let's talk about the game itself.
9974 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My friends and i would play this all the time when i rented it. Its a beatem up, co-op (duznt get better than that!) where one player is spidey an the other is VENOM! I was always stuck being spidey but i didn't care. You beat up people like in Spiderman Venom Maximum carnage (the prequel to this game). You fight other sympiotes quite like venom in this game because venom has been captured by the "foundation" where he was somehow duplicated into five symbiotes that will try to pair up with a human and knowing what Carnage can do (a human with symbiote villian kinda like venom but he is more evil, insane, and red) and you gotta stop em oh unless you want to deal with carnage and his symbiote gang... (venom escaped before being destroyed by the duplicated symbiotes). all what i remember is this level where your on the streets like in maximum carnage beaten people up, then you fight this robot, an this jungle level where you fight dudes in suits...Oh an this level where your on some highway, swinging over cliffs an stuff. No doubt its one of the best spiderman games ever made. I will most likely come back an tell ya more, in the mean time... Get this game! Its also on the SNES but hella rare to get on that system! -Isaac
3425 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Came with bad AV cable -- no big deal.
Enter: The heroic Paladin, the mighty Barbarian, the mysterious Necromancer, the quick and agile Amazon and the elementally-powered Sorceress. These 5 character classes each have 3 unique skill 'trees', all of which have powerful skills that your characters can perfect, which lends easy customization of your character(for example, you can have a Necromancer who is unmatched in raising the dead to do his bidding, or one that is a master of dark spells, or a mixture of both). Tons of enemies block your path, with literally thousands of magical, unique, and 'set' items that players will find themselves hunting for throughout the game. Battle.net capability makes Diablo II a very entertaining experience both off- and on-line.
*Fighting Vipers 2 (import)- This one was only released in Japan, so you will need a converter disc. The gameplay is essentially identical to the original Fighting Vipers game on the Saturn. A simplistic and shallow, yet enjoyable, fighter.
843 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game as a kid but my older brother took it with him when he moved out. It works perfectly and arrived in due time. I was worried ordering a used game because some I'd ordered from places in the past haven't worked, but have absolutely no complaints!
First off let's talk about Banjo Kazooie's story. Banjo's sister Tooty is kidnapped by the wicked witch Gruntilda. Gruntilda has planned on swapping Tooty's beauty to her, but not if Banjo and his friend Kazooie can help it! Okay, seriously this story is pretty lame, but hey! It's a game. In My opinion, no matter how good the graphics are, or how great the story is, it all boils down to one thing. And that's gameplay. And Banjo Kazooie has fantastic gameplay.
-An incredible story.
7889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mortal Kombat is a fighting game from 1992 created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. It is one of the first popular fighting games. The game has fun battles that are fast paced. This SNES version of the game is less violent than the arcade version. It censors the blood, and replaces the fatalities with less violent finishing moves. I am totally fine with these changes though. The game is pretty fun, and is much easier than other fighting games at the time. Though it still has some hard parts. The game was so popular that they did two different film adaptations of it.
The other initial AVALANCHE member is Tifa Lockhart, Cloud's childhood pal, expert martial artist, and Midgar bar hostess. She spends most of Act 1 pulling on Cloud's left arm, trying to wrench him away from Aerith, who has him by his right. She bothers me today for the same reason I don't fancy Celes in FFVI the same way I used to. For the greatest martial artist on the planet, Tifa proves totally incapable of taking care of herself when Cloud isn't around. There's a scene in Act 2 in which Barret chides her for falling completely apart over Cloud's absence. I appreciated that line as something of a little self-aware nod the game made about itself. But then I remembered in Act 3 how Tifa spouted the exact same line as Rosa did back in Final Fantasy IV: "I WILL REMAIN BY YOUR SIDE BECAUSE NOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I'M WITH YOU!!" And then I cringe.
boy did this get me scared. Jill returns in the game to escape a hellish nightmare that was once raccon city. The game has a lot of twist and turns so it will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was up till 2am and still wanted to play. I managed to get it finished and over with in 3 days. The puzzle solving
Sound ...great
Price wise, I have found Zelda games for less via Ebay, but you usually have to bid on them. Unless you want to pay several hundred dollars for a "new in box" game, expect the cartridge to look used from being well loved over the years.
3116 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 classic storyline, good music, sweet battle system. One of, if not the, best game ever made.
Well if you have the Genesis version of Altered Beast, you are not missing anything because the pc version is just an awful conversion of the great arcade classic.
2003 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I think it's too late to give a review on this game, but here goes. This is the most perverted game ever made. When you think about it, it's pretty disgusting. "Aim for the open spot!", "I'll do you fast, Peppy old pal.", "Fox, get this guy off me!" "I've got a present for ya!" EEEEEEEEEUUU! Should kids be playing these games?
9635 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a game like Quake, but with an awesome single player game, coupled with a fun multiplayer experience. SOF's GHOUL system which has 26 "gore" points makes for a game of blood, violence, and fun. Players' reactions differ, but can be quite repetitive after a while. Shoot them in the hand, their hands fall off, shoot them in the head, their heads blow off (you get the picture) The only gripe I can think of is the lack of multiplayer servers. Unlike Quake with my 35 ping, I'm stuck with pings in the range of 150 - 250. Let's hope more servers are put up in the future.
Lots of ways to go. Many choices. Do not see that very often.
2527 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 worth it
I only gave this 3 stars because it turns out I don't like real-time games as much as turn-based games. If you're like me and you don't like real-time games where everything moves super fast and you don't really have too much time to plan things out, then you won't like this that much, because you need to be quick on your feet! But if you like that kind of thing, then you'll love this. Hope this helps. If you prefer turn-based, try Civilization III (have a fast computer!) or my personal favorite Call to Power II (some people don't like this one as much, but I love it!)
The run button and the accompanying growling noise from the running character is highly amusing.
3815 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first foremost negative aspect about this game is the fact that it doesn't really have a soundtrack. It's only got two songs on the CD and this is quite a shock and disapointment since, for example, Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries had a full, awesome soundtrack. Nevertheless, the 2 songs seemlesly integrate themselves into the feeling and the repeats aren't that noticeable.
3925 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And that's the truth. Star Wars: Rebellion can still contend with the current titles, such as Battlefront, KotOR (I/II), and Star Wars Galaxies (and its expansion, respectively). After 7 years I still find it a title that I won't put down. Unlike most other games, SW:R never seems to "get old". Why?
It also looks like if were an original Sega product, same design, same color.
382 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't you remember the times about 7 or so years ago before the vs. games like X-Men Vs. Street Fighter or Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter were out, when you were at your local mall's arcade room, and you spent so much time and needed money on this one game everyone was lining up to play, you kept winning and no one could beat you, you had a blast and you ruled the arcade, you used the Amazing Spider-Man, or Good Ol' Stars and Stripes himself, Captain America, and maybe a little Incredible Hulk was throw in just to show off your skills with multiple players, and you used the Infamouse Yellow, Blue, Green, and all other Gems you could get your hands on to build Speed, Strength, Power, Defence and pretty much eveything else with your character! Well I do, and I was so stoked when it came out, and now you can bring those great feelings back with the PSX Version of this classic fighter from Capcom!
* Phone Support - They have changed their number already from the one in the manual. Called the new number, and was thrown into a loop from a dysfunctional automated phone system. And then finally was told I was in a 60 minute call waiting queue.
7632 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's awesome to still be able to get Zelda games on an snes cartridge
1868 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played Croc 2 more often, but I did play Croc: Legend of the Gobbos when I was young. These games were so fun, as well as difficult (I never managed to get 100% completion on either of them). The controls are a bit stiff, but this did release in 1997, so that should be expected. The game is quite difficult and the story itself is quite simple, but the game is fun nonetheless, and for me it's a pretty timeless classic, that I am happy to add to my collection of childhood memories and video games. Definitely worth the money.
8437 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is definitely a classic, but don't expect this game to be a cakewalk. this game can be downright tough in some places, especially the beginning. Great story as well. I can't say i won't be putting this game down anytime soon.
7858 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is what made super Nintendo what it is now and is one of the best video games of all time.. Super long game with hours of fun game play for the whole family
The graphics are gorgeous and graphic. The faces of the characters are very realistic and expressive.
7352 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Land 2 is very well done. You can tell what a difference a few years makes in graphics comparing Super Mario Land 1 to this game. The game has a nice big world to explore and is much more expansive than SML1. The game does have that Super Mario Bros feel to it. One thing that is weird about this game is how high Mario seems to jump in this game. Every time I play it he seems to hit the ceiling of the screen. His jumps seem floaty as well and not dead drops like in the classic Super Mario Bros.
If You liked this game then check out, Clayfigter, C2: Judgement clay, Clay Fighter Extreme, Clayfighter 63 1/3: Sculptor's Cut, Clay Fighter: Tournament Edition.
But technology moves on, and the SNES and Sega Genesis were fighting for dominance in the early 1990s. Once we graduated to the SNES and the Genesis, gamers moved beyond mere platforming to more expansive types of games such as the "Final Fantasy" titles, "Act Raiser", "Sim City", "Super Metroid", "Chrono Trigger", and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link tot he Past". Either that or we were all playing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II clones. By 1995 we saw Nintendo push the SNES to its limits technologically with such titles as "Star Fox" and the "Donkey Kong Country" trilogy, as well as "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island".
but the problem of getting stuck on lifts and elevators has a fix. read some of the faqs. if you jiggle the controller around a bit, freeman won't get stuck.
9086 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Remember the moment in the movie Jurassic park when Dr. Grant raced across the plains of the jungle on the back of a galimums while shooting his machine gun at attacking helicopters? How about when he trecked through ancient aztec ruins while shooting flame thrower equiped janitors? And don't forget the time he ran around on a cargo ship while blowing up floors and engines with his arsenal of grenades.
6020 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As a major fan of the original Diablo, I have to say that I am both thrilled and frustrated by Diablo II. Thrilled because it is essentially the same game only with more options (more character classes, more skills, larger levels, etc.). Frustrated because of one design choice Blizzard made that makes life tedious: unlike Diablo, Diablo II does not save the state of monsters and items in the dungeons.
Doesn't matter if you are 10 or 70 you can get into this game. The multi-player makes things a little bit more interesting. The battle mode is the best feature if you have equal level competition.
I tell you that I am not a big fan of real time games or arcade type shooters, but this game holds your attention for untold hours, and is replayable. I have completed it with 3 of the four characters before burning out a bit. I look forward to playing the expansion and using the Assassin and Monk.
2237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this item came early and worked perfectly just as i suspected. had no problem i would reccomend ordering from here

4472 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great. I have a new computer and I still am able to go back to Broodwar/Starcraft even though it may seem outdated. It just shows that a game is built off of more than graphics and more on replay value and gameplay.
9163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Released in December 2001 for the PC and later for the PS-2, Max Payne captivated gamers with its jawdropping bullet-time feature, dark and engrossing story and over the top action. Even now I still have a blast playing it. The graphic-novel sequences were suprisingly good and well made and to boot the voice acting was not all that bad either. The game has great sound, amazing graphics, immersive plot and awesome weapons (Colt Commando Rox) If you have not had the sheer pleasure of sitting down in front of your computer for several hours playing this tight game, I highly recommend you purchase Max Payne as soon as possible (Max Payne 2 should come out some time in summer 2003)
3063 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a video game perfectionist, I have played this game repeatedly over and over and over again in the past 8 years it's been available for two reasons. One, to experience the game that it is again and again....this game never gets old or boring....EVER. I'll be 80 years old and I would turn to this game to play it instead of helping the wife find her dentures.
7122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not much for these types of games, but Doom kicks the rest to the dirt. The game is so much fun. I love the idea of shooting up Demons. I have had the pleasure of playing any of the other doom games but i bet they rock.

I think breaking out the PS1 is worth it. Although, if you have a PS2 you can play it on there. I should know, I've played another PS1 game on a PS2.
The LAN adaptor was discontinued, but it is possible to locate used adaptors at a steep price (often 4x the original retail price). They are popular, and the sellers know it.
5 out of 5 stars.....
100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works well with most of my Wii Guitar Hero games as well as Just Dance
4) resident evil 3 nemesis
(((Remotes))) are plenty but do much less damage than in TM2. (((Freeze missiles))) (the left-right-up maneuver) do not hit enemies like they used to. It is much harder to freeze an enemy. This can be frustrating.
The pros of the game are the graphics and controls. It's really great to be able to pike the camera at whatever angle you want and examine things. Everything is rendered so the screen is more than just a backdrop that you can't peek behind. Almost everything is something you can examine closer.
It's very fun and innovative...It has a flavor that not alot of FPS have..I think this game ranks up with Half life...God I wish Nintendo made a remake out of this...Rare is very good at what it does...Like...Which I also thought was the best video game ever made, Conkers BFD..That had some flavor in it...I hope Rare keeps it up and I Really wanna see how Perfect Dark ZERO does On the Xbox
5708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game right off the bat, the first time I played it. It has a really good beginning, awesome music, and graphicx that are a step up from Final Fantasy 7 (tho FF7 was a HUGE step up from the previous games). So here's what I have to say about the game:
-The second (and a personal favorite) is the duel battles, which involves your character
8393 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Being a Star Trek fan, I had high hopes for the game. The preview trailer was exciting and the demo was fun to play. Once I got the game, I played it for four hours straight! I just couldn't stop...I was hooked! Until...the game suddenly just...stopped. "What the-?!"
8661 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is obviously a sega classic! Very famous game that is very fun and sonic has seemed to be a never ending character as there are still games coming out for sonic. This is a good game and if you have the genesis then you should have it.
2462 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Enter the fray with your favorite character (well if, like me, you have two or more favorite characters, you know what to do...) and prove to your opponents (they can be human or CPU) who rules! Super Smash Bros for the 64 is one worthful piece that reflects how so far the multiplayer action can go, and so continued on the GameCube and Wii (I own all three!). With easy gameplay, good BGM, endless multiplayer battle, great feedback when using Rumble pak, some characters info (obviously not as much as on the GC or Wii), tons of fun, and also that this game left the necessary for its successors; SSB is worthy to own. If you still don't have this "jewel", hurry up and find it! You 64 owners should have it! Consider four good-working controllers and rumble paks.
Rotate Characters:
Also, in story mode, after you beat the game's normal mode, you can start to unlock more boards. Some are pretty useless (Like the Poor board) but others aren't, like the Star board.
With changing times and technology, people began to prefer the realistic aspects of video gaming. Metal Gear Solid will go down as one of the originators.
1206 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well lets end the Crash Bandicoot trilogy on PlayStation with Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. This game was released in 1998 and was once again, developed by Naughty Dog, published by Sony Computer Entertainment and distributed by Universal Interactive Studios. It was originally a PlayStation exclusive but was later re-released as a PS One Classic on the PlayStation Store.
To be fair, I was never a fan of Voyager... it's my least-favorite Trek series. But this game doesn't suffer, in any way, for that, as far as I'm concerned.
Sound: 9/10 - Great uses of evil voicing and fantastic sound editing detail makes Crash 3's sound get a notch up.

9986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This video game is an absolutely amazing video game that still is a great memory on my part.
303 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is perfect for multiple console owners, at least for older consoles.
Overall this is one of the more creative games developed in recent times. The story line is vibrant and it has a shock ending that you don't really guess until you get there. There are actually three different possible endings for this, which is pretty cool. So save your game before you're about to beat it, then you can reload it and watch another separate one!
Quake was a very popular and influential first-person shooter series on the PC, and I'm happy to report that everything you love about the series there has remained almost exactly the same on the Playstation console.
Never mind.......
*Good Character Model Animation
the pros are great story, great puzzles, the suspense is great as well as the monsters that are in it over all it draws you in the world of the resident evil.
6065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The analog controller is great for a lot of different reasons. The vibration function is a really nice addition to the game. It may freak out a friend who's not expecting it (which is quite fun to watch) and adds a nice dimension to games that support it. The analog controls are great, especially for driving games. The more precise control keeps you from veering from side to side. The amount of buttons and fingers used may make people who aren't used to it uncomfortable, but that doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon.
V - A story of political corruption and intrigue. Not my favorite, but not bad. The last black & white ultima.
The controls are something that most people either love or hate. It took me some time to get used to them, but now I have no troubles whatsoever. Most people that hate them don't seem to realize that RE isn't just an all-out action game, but rather an exploration puzzle type game with action segments. The controls were a bit rough here, though they have been more refined in later releases. I do admit though, that it does get very tedious backtracking to the item box again and again because you can't hold all the items you want to. Between the two playable characters Jill and Chris, I personally found Jill to be the better one to control because she has more inventory slots and weapons than Chris, although Chris's voice acting isn't quite as nerve-grating as hers is. Both characters each have their own sub-character that helps them along game, such as Barry who helps Jill, and Rebecca who aids Chris.
I'll keep it short.
Yes, this system isn't given enough credit. PS2 is not superior at all- they have to bite games off Sega just to get titles (Crazy Taxi and Grandia 2 ring a bell?) I have been most pleased with this system from the start and I am not getting rid of it. I continue to play my games, which I have almost 30 of. I say Sega should continue to make games because I love them, and long live Sega!
But I made a mistake. A few days later my cousin came to my house. I was thinking about hiding it because I knew my cousin was a big Zelda fan and was extremely eager to play the one and only Zelda game on the Super NES. I wanted to play through the game and THEN let him borrow it. I thought about it for a few minutes but decided not to hide it. If I had done that, I would've felt guilty about it after he walked out the door. He's my cousin, and I love him, and we get along great. So I just couldn't do it.
Another one of those long forgotten titles that deserves to be played by today's gamers.
The 1996 Crus'n U.S.A. game for Nintendo 64, seems to be a real miss behind the real wheel. The graphics are very strong, but you are limited down to a certain number of cars to choose from, which is seven, not like the more than dozen that there are in the arcade game. Although the courses seem to be within detail, there are so many flaws, including th frame rate and the style of the game, especially within the tunnels of place like Washington D.C. Nevertheless, the game seem to be a little down and out, but at the time it came out for Nintendo 64, it was one of only two video racing games for the Nintendo 64.
6718 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fun but VERY hard! Get a friend and get ready for some button mashing!
3268 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 [Baio Hazard] series have the most popularity in Japan. Especially Code Veronica is one of the most favorite thing. Because it game is very real gurafic game used the spec of Dream Cast ability very well. Even if it is now time that there are more great spec hard, PS2, XBOX etc, you can play the came with the joy and the satisfication.
Some later Zelda games use too much ambient music in the dungeons. OoT is guilty of this too, but only to a small degree. Apart from the Water Temple's melody, there's nothing that makes me want to relax and do some meditation or whatever while hearing it. :P
Now, if you're only familiar with modern kid-friendly games you might be surprised by the difficulty of this game. Some of the bosses are maddingly hard to defeat, and the amusement park level will make you want to renounce power pellets and stick to zombie hunting. But if you enjoy a challange this can actually be a plus. If not, the Gameboy Advance version plays surprisingly well and doesn't have most of the boss levels.
1713 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just an awesome game.
Lasting Appeal A-
Blizzard is STILL patching this game every once in a while. Starcraft is the most balanced RTS, ever, PERIOD. It's the most played video game in tournaments, and is a religion in south korea.
3054 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now let me begin by saying I'M NOT AN RPG gamer, I borrowed this from a friend because I was hearing so much about how great this game is, I recently borrowed it during the summer and I must say I...LOVE..THIS...GAME. I mean at first I wasn't into the plot(I started getting sucked into it as soon as I got to Disc 2)and the game aswell but after a few hours of playing I WAS HOOKED, now as I stated before I am not an RPG gamer but this game had one of those really cool anime/type plots and the turned base battles were pretty cool. The gameplay was pretty fun and I was always excited to see were the game would take me next, the dialoug IF YOU ASK me was a little dumb, I mean just because Barret is african american every most of the things he says has to always be spelled differently and have 4 letter words? Ok I'm done gripping. Other then Plot and gameplay, I really liked how the materia/magic worked aswell as the summons(man they are such a treat to look at). And I think I'm going abit too far but I thought the CG scenes(though very limited in the game)were beautiful. As for visuals, I don't see why people are saying this games visuals are terrible this game was made back in the mid 90's!!! I thought the visuals were great! And the pre rendered backrounds were great aswell! Stop complaining it's an old game!
When I first played this game, I was far too young to truly understand everything that was going on, but when I turn on the game and play it nowadays, the story always manages to just nearly bring me to tears of joy. You take the role of a boy named Will, who lives in the town of South Cape with his grandma and grandpa. He intends to travel the world in search of his father, a famous explorer named Olman, who disappeared mysteriously after their expedition to the Tower of Babel. Through a series of misguided and unfortunate events, you end up thrown in jail and you have a spiritual conversation with your father, who tells you that the Comet, a star representing total destruction, is heading straight for the planet, and only with the power of the Mystic Statues can you hope to save the world from its untimely doom. If that wasn't enough to already have you hooked, you will be completely and thoroughly engaged into every single line of dialogue from every single character that you come across on your journey. Everybody has something of interest to say, and only a few times could I ever count the dialogue as forgettable. There are plot twists, moments of romance, and a seemingly endless supply of magic and wonder all wrapped up into this game's story, and it's an adventure I will gladly take up any time of any day, over and over again.

New weapons, better weapons, with improved fatality scenes.
Dr. Mario contains 20 levels of virus-bustin' difficulty.
5331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In every way, this is better than the first two games. Grand Theft Auto always felt dated, while the London add-on was a little quirky and annoying. This game fixes all of those flaws and makes GTA 2 one of the best PS One games ever to be realeased. There are plenty of new cars and weapons, and the game is faster. The camera no longer zooms in and out when you drive fast, so the game is a lot better to look at. The graphics are much better, but there is still room for improvement. If you only get to play one Grand Theft Auto game on PS One, make it GTA 2. This game is awesome!
And the relics just plain old rock. They give you abilities like changing into bats, wolves, mist forms, and allowing you to do super jumps and double jumps to unlock new areas.

8786 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Originally called Soul Blazer II in Japan, this game completely knocked me off my chair. Its originality and replay vaule are through the roof, not to mention the cool music you get once in a while.
The menus can get a bit much, as well but they don't detract from the game as much as some people like to whine about (these people are the ones that think characters that can do everything is a good thing so they can just spam ultima or what have you and gg the bbeg).
Cons:

F1 World Grand Prix 2
8559 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product as you know the Sega Saturn contoller is in perfect condition, extremely fast shipping n also very satisfied we were with it.
15 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a must have for any gamer. Codemasters really hit a home run on this one. I would like to see F1 2011 be this good using the ego engine 2.0 and the physics model in this game is right on the money. This game is the reason everyone should buy the best graphics card they can afford. I am using a nvidia 460 overclocked, and I have on order a 590. I want to run this game with everything on highest level. I swear to you that even with the 460 + , the graphics are very realistic and I really enjoy racing at ground level. This game makes Codemasters the king of graphics realism. BUY THIS GAME !!!!!
9603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantsy Tactics is by far the greatest strategy game ever made. When I first started playing it, I was a little dissapointed for the fact that I was expecting something more like a Final Fantasy RPG. But this isn't an RPG exactly, it is more like a chess game. Within an hour or so of fighting the different boards I was hooked. The moment I finished the game, I started an entirely new game. Since then I have beaten the game at least four times, while having different characters and abilities of the characters in each game. I literally have over 100 hours of playing in one of my saved games. It is so hard to describe the coolness of this game. If you would like a game where you have a lot of independance in creating your very own characters to your own satisfaction, if you like a game where you can be challenged, and if you like the game of chess, this is it. Squaresoft, how about creating a sequal to this game, making it even better, if that is even possible, and putting it on the Playstation 2 market. I'd buy!
6045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GTA2 is set in a futuristic city where you try to earn "Respect" from gangs. Earning respect means killing their opposing gang. The more you kill,the harder a job you get that pays ALOT more than an easy job. Also doing jobs and completing them earns you respect too. This game says KILL, KILL, KILL ,KILL ,KILL all over the box (well not really...).I think ive said enough.
2651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I owned this game and it was a challenging, fun game. Modes like the one where you have to beat people using only combos is a true challenge. The game itself is loaded with a lot of characters which is cool.
2971 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can you say more than its FF7. Its incredibly difficult to beat the game. I enjoyed this game very much and the hope they remake this sometime in the future.
1) Characters are unique and fun with personality, i.e. personal story, ending etc (missing from PS2)
In all my years of PC gaming, this is my favorite turn-based game (tops Master of Magic and even X-COM! those two games held the "longest on hard drive" awards up until this one came along, and I know it will unseat them). It might actually be my favorite game of all time, bar-none, but that remains to be seen in the test of time.
8456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own a SNES but it's sadly dying down slowly and the graphics are very snowy and worst with a flat screen, But since I own a nintendo wii I downloaded this game for 800 wii points and I can play with a cordless classic wii controller and this game is worth every penny. It first starts off with the usual princess gets kidnapped by bowser and mario comes to the rescue and the best story happens where a giant sword takes over bowsers castle which bowser teams up with mario, peach, geno, and mallow who take a journey to defeat the evil smithy and his gang of evil villians who are taking over the mushroom kingdom. The whole role playing game is fun and awesome with weapons and upgrades to more challenging characters and the game play is alot longer which im guessing they added extra memory to make this game.
Pros: Music (amazing!), graphics (yes classic, squatty sprites rule!), job system is amazing, great variety of equipment, cool magic and special attack animations, great leveling system, secret hunt rules, random battles are nice, learning skills from slain enemies is nice, stealing strong equipment, weather effects your abilities, elevation effects, lots of maps, Orlandu, Cloud Strife
7381 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Even if the game had limited or no color, I still like the game as much since when I got it for my 10th birthday (I'm 16 now). Though the game gets beaten fast, it's still okay. Plus, it's packed with secret levels. A vintage Gameboy Mario game that's still as much fun as the day it was released in stores!
including new hidous mutants a mr.touhg guy nemesis.
You still have to search for heart pieces, weapons, upgrades etc, but this game like the original makes it fun rather than tedious and boring. I got a real sense of accomplishment when I found a new item and a even greater feeling when I finally beat the game. This game was fun from start to finish and was never once bored, when I stopped playing this game after a long sitting, it was because I physically couldn't continue, not because I was bored or tired of playing the game. In fact if I picked this game up today, I know that I will STILL enjoy it as much as I did back then!
3072 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After being on the SNES for a number of years, Nintendo and Squaresoft split up and Square created its own game console, the Playstation. And FF7 just might be the best game ever made for it. FF7 defined what an RPG should be, with an intricate storyline, characters with attitude, an addictive battle system, and everything else that makes an RPG worth playing. This is what RPGs should look, play, and feel like, but it seems like none are as good as this one. The action starts from the very beginning, starting with a terrorist group called AVALANCHE on their way to destroy a power plant called a Mako Reactor, which sucks the life out of the planet in order to provide the people of the city Midgar with electricity. These Reactors are spread across the world, and AVALANCHE's main goal is to destroy all of them to save the planet. However, a creation of the Shinra, Inc. company has come back to haunt them: a humanoid creature named Sephiroth, who takes his Mako-filled disfigured mother to find the Promised Land and destroy the planet. Then, Cloud, a shallow character with a mysterious past, and his team must pursue Sephiroth in order to save the planet. The storyline then gets even more exciting as other problems arise, but you'll have to play to figure it out. A good RPG for any game fan, this is something you'll have to play to believe.
6623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I you like hunting games, you'll love this. The only thing i don't like is that it's confusing. When you look in the options thing, the way to control the game's controls is confusing. But after a while, it should be ok for you.
766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
Sound/Music: I try not to review music or sound in games but in this case it will be the only whole star for this game. The music is indeed sweet to listen to. The tunes are strangely familiar, but I can't place my finger on it. It also appears that there is one song for each of the characters to play. The book lists 15 characters and I believe there are 15 songs. It's quite fun to try and match the songs to the characters. The music would have been a blast if they used real world 70's music but alas, the licensing would be too much. The only annoying sound effect is those stinkin' UFO's. Kind of makes me want to turn the CD into a UFO.
The sound, with the proper EAX or A3D supported card, match the environments.
It's stable. I have an older GeForce that sometimes has trouble with newer games (Return to Castle Wolfenstein at high resolution, for example) but Max Payne runs fine at 1152-854-32.
7568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The title says it all. It is a AWESOME Star Wars game, but it is hard as ever! I mean REALLY hard. If you have problems and get angry at hard things I don't recommend it...if you don't BUY IT NOW!!
8364 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game isn't the greatest, the fighting style is a bit weird but more akin to Tekken 1 or 2 than a 2d fighting game. But with time you'll become accustomed to it and learn to enjoy it. The roster expands with completion and features favorites like slave outfit Leia and Jodo Kast, basically a Boba Fett clone (in the sense of 90's palette swaps a la mortal kombat). Oh and Vader.
8937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It basicaly has the same storyline as The orginal metroid. But wicked Kickin graphics. The controls are sharp as a nail. The gameplay is awesome. I always keep going back to this game on my snes.
890 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If Mario 64 was good than Banjo was Mario perfected.
Replayabillity: Compared to the other games, Ape Escape 1 doesn't have much replayabilty, unless you're like me and love it so much you just start a new game all the time. Throughout the levels there are Spector coins you pick up. the coins are used to unlock 3 minigames in the time station. My favorite of these is galaxy monkey. The other two are meh. I really wish they had a way for you to unlock the soundtrack like the other two games. That would have been awesome.
This game is a must own for Mario fans. While yet you must already know this since I'm writing this review thirteen years later. : )
The other problems is the levels require too much backtracking and are too complicated. I got stuck numerously and ending up getting a code off the internet to skip levels. The beginning of the game shows promise with young Lara, and there is a very cool level where Lara has to manuver a jeep in the desert and over cliffs and whatnot.
Starfox 64 remains as one of the best games in the series and players come back to it and play through it again. It looks and plays great; lots of planets to play through and decent multi player modes make this game an excellent choice to pick up and play on the Nintendo 64. If you can't seem to find it or don't want to pay what people are asking for, you can download this title for the Wii on the Virtual Console service for $10 (1,000 points.) I highly recommend it so if you haven't played it yet, there is no reason for you to not try it out.
4248 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is one of the best out there. You don't need a supercomputer. In fact this is one game where the requierments will let it run just fine. Pros: very addictive, fun, realistic, low requierments. Cons: very easy, time consuming(there are time limits, but you need to wait until the time expiers-very annoying). Overall this game is well worth the money, expesaly if you buy loopy landscapes (the expainsion)
8688 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I heard terrific things about Giants: Citizen Kabuto and was sadly disappointed when I finally purchased and played it for myself. The most obvious annoyance was the lack of an in game save option. I just don't have patience to play the same mission over and over. And over. If you believe patience is a virtue, you can develop it playing this game. As for me, I couldn't even stand to finish it.
8339 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Delivery was quick and was as described.
Age of Empires 2 is a real-time strategy game that puts you in control of a medieval civilization as it advances in technology, military, and economy. Victory is acheived by crushing your enemies, allying with victorious factions, or by constructing a Wonder of the World. The selection of cultures is impressive and includes the Goths, Britons, Japanese, Chinese, and Persians in addition to several others. Each culture has its own technologies and unique units, such as Viking Longboats or Persian Elephants. The single-player scenarios allow you to become legendary heroes and conquerors such as William Wallace and Joan of Arc.
1334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is easily the best game I've ever played. I played it back when it was first released for the N64 and at the time there was nothing else like it on any of the other consoles. It led the way for 3d gaming which is of course the norm now. To this day I still get nostalgic and pop the cartridge in on occasion just to run around in the various worlds. The graphics still look pretty good and the game play is still fun. A simply incredible game.
- Super Metriod
2146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now I can play Majora's Mask.
The new characters like Kai, Jarek, Fujin (a weak attempt at making another Raiden), and Tanya were pretty "bleh". They didn't have that impact that the classic characters did, but some returned like Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Sonya, and Johnny Cage came back for the first time since MK2. The run button and combos were carried over into 3D which were smooth as well as a first stab at moving in a 3D environment. You would hit a button to kind of strafe to the side to avoid attacks and this added a whole new level of strategy. Weapons were introduced in free form now and every character had one. Get hit though and you lose the weapon until you can pick it back up.
The controls were a little confusing since I'm more used to later survival horror games, and I sometimes found myself awkwardly readying my weapon when I wanted to strafe. The game is a little tight with healing supplies, but not ammo; I wish I had used my firearms more.
7788 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Old school is new school again
By "different" I mean, the levels are not trying to be like the ones in the DKC series at all- instead the game makers took advantage of the popular themes in Donkey Kong Country, and used those same themes to create something else entirely with completely different objectives and whatnot.
The graphics were quite dated and the sound effects often cut out, but this was not the game's fault. I bought this game long after its time. Unsurprisingly, the intervening years since the game's first release saw graphics and sound standards rise dramatically. My soundcard also was not supported for by the game. Again, not surprising and not at all the game's fault.
internal: 2 AA batteries, 30+ hours of gameplay
I played the campaign next, and although it was pretty cool that you had the same resources and ships from level to level, the levels themselves were extremely easy (I know that because I suck at RTS games and I didn't have to reload once on this one). It also was boring having to collect every last scrap of resources at the end of the levels in order to support your fleet through the next threat.
9617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played almost every 1st person shooter out there. When Half-Life came around, it blew all the rest away. When UT came out, it took the lead. Move over you guys. A new ones in now. SoF! The best one of them all! This game has everything that a 1st person fan will love. Realistic violence, great story/plot, and tons of non-stop action! If you thought RogueSpear was good, this is your next game! This, out of all games, is definitly a Game of the Year on my list.
8803 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game about ten years ago for my birthday, needless to say, I was entranced by the stunning beauty of this game. Being a fan of the original Donkey Kong Country, I loved its amazing sequal.
Gameplay:10/10- Just like the first game, but you played in several locations as opposed to a mansion.
The Funny- Bowser and Booster Kissing. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I rate the visiblity of the screen when it's on 3 out of 5. I rate the lighting 5 out of 5. So on the whole I rate it 4 out of 5.
I did run into a couple problems with it not reacting well to some other Windows programs I was running, but it never crashed, just reversed colors or other weird things until I shut the other programs off. No big deal.
FF8 follows in the classic Final Fantasy mode - a team of characters headed by a serious minded leader, with a bunch of slightly wacky, but dedicated companions, take on an evil that seems to keep getting stronger and more capable with each advance of the plot. No villain ever really seems to die, the keep coming back in new and deadlier forms. And then there are the Guardian Forces, who provide all kinds of spectacle for the battles.
I realize RE 2 is now very much dated, but I couldn't care less. A game either plays well or it doesn't, and if it does, it plays well in all seasons. In the RE series Capcom didn't just create a monster, they handed you a chaingun and said, "Kill it."
The music is also a strongpoint in the game, with Miyamoto praising Koji Kondo's work in one of the Iwata Asks interviews. Kondo then told Miyamoto that was the first time he ever praised his work. Having played "Super Mario 64" countless times over since 1996, imagine my shock to find out Wing/Vanish Mario's theme is lifted directly from the Invincibility Theme in this title!
The graphics are awesome...I love em'...great graphics for Sonic and great game to launch the once popular and now dead Dreamcast..Well Thats a lil' harsh saying dead...LONG LIVE DREAMCAST...The graphcis in this game were ten times better then a few PS2 games
741 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ocarina of Time is one of the best games ever, let alone for the N64. It came pretty quickly, plays great after 16 years, and you can easily spend hours on it. Every gamer should play it. But beware of the text speed.
This is one of the best SNES games ever and should be added to your game collection as soon as you can get it. It's one of the best games of all time for a classic system!
Secret: Mystery of the Castle?
4245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been a gamer for a long time, and I've played my share of strategy games. I still keep comming back to Starcraft for more. Three perfectly balanced and yet very different races battle it out. There's not too much micromanagement to kill you, but enough for you to feel a part of the race you're playing. I love to play the extra scenerios that they created for one time battles. You can modify them or even create your own from scratch. I just wish they had a random map maker. It would be easier then. You can, however, go online to Blizzard and download tons of scenerios that other gamers made. While the graphics aren't state of the art anymore they still are pretty nice. This game allows for both a strategic approach or the full rush type of battle. You have both land and air units and you harvest two types of materials (vespene gas & minerals) to build your structures and units. The campaigns are nice but after beating them twice I now just prefer to mix it up with the single scenerios. This is a must have of any strategy gamer who hasen't yet tried it. Have fun!!!
7904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 everything i wanted
Again, the only thing I really don't like is that you to win the championship races to win so much. They should have had 6 tracks they give you already + 2 extra tracks you win with the championship races, and more cars to win with the championship races. It is what it is, but it's still a fun game.
assumed that these lines were never translated to begin with. It doesn't happen all too
The levels are huge, if you are familiar with the PC version, it's easy to realize you need to find small or almost hidden places to get further through a level, but if you aren't, then look for things, vents, boxed, ladders etc. The levels have secrets, babes, visuals, sounds, and great 3d FX. (Oh, yeah, the Duke Nukem 64 was all sprites, this one is fully polygon 3D) and Duke has some great new sayings.
The game is intense! Oh yes! You would not think so when you see the start screen and a giant crocodile is staring at you with a bloodshot eye, but from the very first moment of gameplay you are thrust into a world of zombies. The stiff controls, narrow corridors, ambient music, and the shambling groaning enemies make for a sharp gameplay experience. Many times you will find yourself cornered with barely enough ammo to escape and the prospect of a boss after finishing the many smaller enemies.
Sapphire--The basic. You can get this with no speed shoes.

3511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is if im right the last Jill Valentine Adventure which makes me mad but this game is excellent. Ive beaten it 17 times and still like it. You get to kill infected zombies use cool weapons and lots of other neat junk. And when you beat the game you get a game called Mercenaries. And you get a key for new dresses. The Goal in the game is to kill Nemeses who is a guenie pig infected with the G-Virus not T. The T virus is the one that makes people zombies. You will team up with 3 of Umbrellas BioHazard Forces Mercenaries and kill everything and risk everything to escape Raccoon City. But on the way, one of your umbrella buddies admits he is a supervisor and trys to escape alone betraying you and your friends. But he dies and so does someone else. This game is so much fun but you have to find everything on your own you cant just goto a shop and ask for ammo cause everyone workin there are zombies. Youll love this game i just know yall will.
- Graphics may seem pretty dated, to today video gamers
Still like I said earlier, this is an early title for the N64, you will be amazed at how well such a game so early is. Buy it if your into race games, ignore it if your looking for the best.
Another aspect that made Unreal very special, when compared to other FPS games, was the sheer amount of atmosphere that is injected into this game. It truly does feel like you're on an alien world. The sounds, the textures, were all there perfectly bringing you into this world, almost so much that you didn't want to leave! You even hear echoes off of cliffs if you're walking through a cavern, it's like they tried to get as many little details in order to immerse the user. For it's time the Unreal graphics engine was also very impressive and really took things up a notch in the gaming world. They also programmed enemies to react more realistically to the user when confronted. So when I'm fighting against the Skaarj enemies they will actually make an effort to jump out of the way of my shots. This was really cool to see and I really only found that in games like Half Life.

The card game is FFVIII was ingenious. In a way, the card game makes a sort of an extra underground world for the game. NPCs sometimes seem extremely insignificant and not worth your time...until you challenge them to a card game by just going up to them and pressing square instead of x.
If you haven't tried Homeworld, then do yourself a favor and buy a used copy. Every good science fiction fan owes it to themselves. The missions are somewhat linear, and lack what could have been a larger dynamicism, but the gameplay is respectable enough that you should be able to enjoy the story and wonderful graphics that rival today's top of the line space-sims.
The Good:
3365 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This was one of the first games i remember playing on the Playstation. So i wanted to replay it and i was very frustrated. I never finished the game back then and it was a big pain finishing it this time around. a lot of backtracking and poor inventory setup. I still think its one of the few titles for the playstation that you should give a try. I ordered it used and it came on time and i had no problem with the CD during gameplay.
learn what they need to know that no one can perhaps figure out. They leave out a lot. I (at 75) had to figure them out for myself. My wonderful childhood was wholesome and much less fast-paced...safer for playing out of doors, for example.....having an hour to walk home, eat lunch and walk back to school...today this is unheard of.
PLEASE, DO ME A FAVOR AND DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS GEM. ENJOY IT-
I say, they should re-released the Sonic games that were on Sega Genesis onto an archives video game set for the computer or for the newest video game systems in the near future because I'm suffereing from "Sonic withdrawal" symptoms.
3919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I Buy every Flight Sin that comes out. From Falcon 3-4, too Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 2. For the Money, for the Action, or for the just Plain Fun of it. GET IT !!! YOU can make it Easy or Real Hard but it is always REAL and FUN!!
Sanitarium is a masterpiece, both in concept and in content. It ranks right up there with my other alltime favourits like Myst, Riven, Journeyman Project 3 and Beyond Atlantis.
1379 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is so classic and we love it! Don't forget to buy a rumble pack so you can feel when you crash or go over the railroad tracks!
The idea behind the game is this. Since Voyager (grr...)is on the far side of the galaxy, far away from any backup, Janeway and Tuvok develop a new kind of away team. This new unit, called the Hazard Team, is made up of special forces crewmen assembled to take on challenging missions that regulars can't handle, like a SWAT team compared to regular police. The team's just been created when Voyager (rr...) gets sucked into a mysterious region of space and immobilized. You play as Ensign Alex (or Alexandria...how PC) Munro, the Hazard Team's second-in-command. And during the game, you'll have run-ins with mysterious aliens, hostile scavengers, the Borg, and a new race created only for this game.
1462 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
I think the game is ideal for children 10 and under. It's fun and quirky enough to entertain them, but it's not what you'd typically expect, as an avid adult player, from a Sim game.
I never was a big fan of collecting coins though, so I'd rather just go through the game again and beat all of the levels once more than worry about a score. Still, whether you like beating levels or collecting coins, this game has something for everybody. I highly recommend at least a rental.
2901 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It came fast, had everything intact, and it was playing perfectly.
1642 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have been playing video games since pong (the 70's) and I have change with the time (bought a new system every year they come out)and love some of the new play station games but it's good to have some old favorites!! When I bought VOl 3 (just for Mrs. Pac-man)it was like WOW I forgot about pole position (ya nothing like nascar 2002), but that use to be my favorite when I was a kid & still is!! Funny thing is when I was 8yrs old I could never get past the 2nd screen in Galaxian Now 22 years later of playing video games, I still can't get past the 2nd screen even though I master Sypro (a 2000 game) in 2 days.
Controlling Alucard (and Richter) is as fun and fluid as ever, eliminating all the "oh no!" moments from previous games where managing your jumping direction was much more difficult. The animation of your character, the monsters, the castle details and even some of the 3D backgrounds are top notch for the PS1 as well. Definitely a labor of love. With all the special powers, relics & moves you can acquire throughout the game, you can turn your half-vampire/half-human from a simple dagger wielder to a force to be reckoned with. And by the time you reach your father Dracula, you too (along with Richter) will shout out:
What makes this the best of the 2D Zelda games you may ask?It expands on the story telling and gameplay has more levels,side quests and dungeongs and most of all is just a plain fun game to play. While it took me about a month to beat the original Legend Of Zelda game this one like Ocarina Of Time kept me busy for several months just to reach the final boss. A lot of the gameplay mechanics, level designs and boss fights set a standard that influenced other games that came after it such as Ocarina for N64 and Twilight Princess for the Gamecube/Wii.
In my opinion, Starcraft was the first game to have truly amazing online support. Including quick and easy updating, ease in finding fast games, and a constant stream of new maps and game play variations to keep it interesting. Half-Life with Won.net was the first game to bring that kind of support to fans of first-person fragging. Single player was great, but once you visit the online Half-Life community... kiss your other hobbies goodbye. I praise valve for creating this game- quite possibly my favorite of all time. Never has a FPS had such amazing weapons, and well-tuned multiplayer maps. Thanks to won.net, finding on-line games have been a snap with filters to find exactly what you are in the mood for and a fast connection.
I'd say it's definitely worth picking up. It can definitely be completed in one sitting but the fun factor in the game creates a high replay value and is sure to provide you with a few hours of fun.
9736 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Twisted Metal 1: good
686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Needed game for my system I'm putting together so I can play it again.
Crazy Taxi 1 and 2!
The sound effects are very good and the soundtrack is classic Star Wars with perfect timings to get the right music for what you are doing.
By the time Tomb Raider 3 was released people were REALLY getting fed up with the series. Now, these same people will tell you this was because they kept releasing more and more Tomb Raider games, but I actually think people got sick of Tomb Raider because games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill came along with a similar style and improved on it *drastically*, making Tomb Raider look awfully dated by comparison.
THE LEVELS
5361 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works well
269 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why was every memory card 8 mb when i was young, i could have just owned 1 of these and not had to budget my memory space. i cant even fill a tenth of this thing, awesome
First of all, this game has some the prettiest graphics to be found anywhere. No, not the smoothest, not the highest polygon count, not the most astonishingly technically ect, ect. This game may be old, but the graphics have STYLE, they flow, and they are FAST.
970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another neat turok game with crazier weapons, tougher enemies, better level design and more fun!
2d gorgeous sprites and creative level/boss and enemies design.
3-Marble Gardens 75%
2 Vs 2
The visuals are beautiful. The gameplay is too linear however. You have to "do this" before you can "do that." There is no way to accomplish your goals in multiple ways. Whereas this concept was astonishing 3 years ago, it no longer appeals to the gamer.
I've played the Tomb Raider series and I never liked it for some reason. Like many of the other people have stated earlier, this game does beat Tomb Raider away. I think the graphics are a lot better than tomb raider. I remember Tomb raider's puzzle's were really dumb and the maps were SOOOOOOOOO huge that finding a puzzle was a pain. It's a little of the opposite with Infernal Machine.
7597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are very few games which are more than a decade old which I would bother to replace if broken - and this is one of them! My son and daughter and I have enjoyed playing this on the Nintendo 64 and for some reason the cartridge died. Luckily, the cost of replacement was low!
7876 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like a lot of the older Zelda fans I grew up playing the original Zelda on the NES and loved it. Ironically I never got around to buying and owning a Super Nintendo as well as this classic game "A Link To The Past" until I was 25 years old. It took me a while to get to where I am now(Ganon's Tower) in the game but with a lot of patience, a printed out walkthrough and a lot of addictive gaming I got close to beating it and am still playing it until I do. I know this will be one of those games worth playing again and again no matter how many times I beat it.
What a treat to watch and play!
7656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is lots of fun! Plenty of levels and hidden players to unlock will keep you playing for a long time.
As I am sure many will detail everything about this game, I will limit myself to the most important points for me.
Overall, I love the game. Is it better then Duke Nukem 3D? Umm, I dunno, there both kind of different games. Each have there own great qualities ya know, but both games are great and worth playing IMO.
Do your duty and pick up a copy TODAY!
9491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I sort of understand why one of the 2-star reviews says it doesn't compare to Super Mario World. It IS an easier game, but it's not TOO easy, (getting 100% in every level is a realistically attainable goal, although it might take you a little while) and it's definitely still fun. Still REALLY fun. Everything in this game is awesome, from the music to the background art to the enemies and bosses. The attention to detail is amazing, and the gameplay is really fun and rewarding. This is always going to be one of my favorite games.
7092 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is hard to review because in many ways it is the same as Rare's previous shooter, GoldenEye 007, but in other ways it is so much better. In short, Perfect Dark is the perfect, non-official, sequel to GoldenEye 007. Sure, the settings are different, and there are some different weapons (after all this IS a science fiction based game), but overall you can still see the loving touches the developers brought back from GoldenEye.
2950 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I saved my allowance for weeks to buy this game when it first game out. Now that I'm an adult(unless you ask my wife) this game is just as awesome as it was then as it is now. The graphics are a bit old but the storyline is one of the best I have ever seen to date.
But, you won't be buying this collection for the music disc. The games are what matters, and they are quality, faithful ports of the originals. Highly recommended for people who want to walk down memory lane with some great old games.
3794 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the kind of game that brings back memories of when games were great. The game has the most beautiful graphics I have seen on a video game system, the graphics are even better than anything a computer can currently do. The game is relly fun with great music, and a total of 6 different playable characters all with their own missions and thier own view of the story. If you buy the Dreamcast buy this too.
4181 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Actually the word about GPL has been out for some time. GPL will challange even the most dedicated racing-sim addict. But it's worth it...
7316 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 [If you copy my writing style, it is because I am ultimate.]
This game is incredibly addictive, just when you think you've got everything figured out, you'll find something new that you want to do. I have had this game for six months, four months ago I had every land beat. But I kept playing, even on parks that have been completed I still love just picking some angry guest and do everything I can to make him happy. I destroy old coasters and build my own design. This game has enough to do to keep even the most veteran gamers happy. The game earns five stars and higher if I could. But I only gave it one star because for ten bucks more you can almost quadruple your fun!
6278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product does what it was made for great . Keep me pleased and happy to have it. If some one plan to get this product it great and works , your hard earn money will not go down the drain.
Music 10/10
There. Are those good enough reasons NOT to get this game? Don't get it.
6561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After countless hours of frustration and disappointment with Ultima Online and EverQuest (although UO still retains a great deal of potential), Asheron's Call was a great relief.
But the combat's a bit mushy relative to Diablo--a little too automatic feeling, perhaps, which is the only thing that keeps me from giving it the five stars. I killed the first "boss", losing one of my own characters, before I knew what happened. But then I could just resurrect him.
4466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had this game ever since it came out, and it never gets old. I still play it more than most of my other games and on Bnet people are always making new maps on the included versitle map editor. This game is a classic. It never gets old. Looking forward to Warcraft 3 and hoping a Starcraft 2.
-Perhaps a bit too much exposition
The voice acting is superb and the sounds are accurate and subtle. Having a good 4.1 or better speaker system is a must.
5676 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Am not sure if it is because my PS2 is old, but sometimes, while playing, it will take a REALLY long time for the eye to recognize the disc. Moreover, whenever I lose a battle (which has only been when I've fought Cerberus [a GF] and Adel), sometimes the top half of the screen will have that weird black and white static fuzz vs. the beginning credits. ANYWHO... I highly recommend getting this game for ANY fan of Square Enix, Square Soft, or the Final Fantasy franchise. The junctioning system isn't complicated (unless you're slow or haven't played FFVII); it's just that one spell you may junction to one attribute may have adverse effects on another one and you will, at times, get frustrated, ESPECIALLY if your repertoire of magic is limited. Besides that, combat is typical for the FF series and many motifs are still there. Have not beaten it yet, so can't really speak on the ending (DAMN YOU, ADEL!!!!!) All I can really say is just stick with it and, for those who like all there characters to be at about the same level, look on the FF Wikia site to find "The Island Closet to Heaven" and "The Island Closest to Hell." If, however, the islands prove to difficult. Try to fight cactuars. Be sure to have the GF Doomtrain and plenty of Dark, Silence, and Sleep spells stocked up though.
Pros: great choice of wrestlers, Mortal Kombat-style fighting, hours of fun, looked better than other wrestling games at the time, a lot of moves for each wrestler, not as cheap as MK, find out different combos, digitized graphics make wrestlers look real, 2 player co-op mode
- No Space areas. The Duke Lunatic doesn't go lunar looney in this one.
6629 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game matches with the real thing quite well, but has too few questions to endure. If you've never seen the show, it's simply a series of fifteen, each increasing in dollar amount until the last, million-dollar question. It's drawn out. There's a speech clip for each dollar amount, answer, and other things. The infamous "final answer" option only appears when you take a while to answer, unfortunately. The lifelines are realistic, minus the fact that "phone a friend" is really "phone Regis's friend". The "fast finger" scrambles the choices, and the first correct key pressed wins. The graphics are pretty good and there are neat animations. I recommend this for Millionare fanatics or trivia people, but only those who won't run out of questions.
game plays well
- Considered a Classic PS1 RPG by many people
-Unique characters.

1388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 is a game I've wanted to play for ages. I finally decided to purchase it and I was not disappointed. In my opinion Super Mario 64 is the best in the Mario series and one of the best games ever. This game was a breakthrough in 3Dplatformers and it's easy to see why. The 3D is great for its time and the style is incredible.
If your into horror games and don't mind not staring at the "latest" of graphics than pick up this old classic. Silent Hill was the one that broke the mold for what a survival horror should be. It combined mystery,action,adventure,suspense,drama, and a story you would never forget. If you played the later Silent Hill games and enjoyed them (specifically 2 or 3) then pick up the original because you will not be dissapointed!
Another important point is that this game `is' completely without flaws, the rendering is perfect and the games music is one of the best soundtracks ever recorded. In technical retrospect `Dkc' is a 2d sidescroller with a 3d graphics overhaul, in English any fan of platformers should not be without this inspirational classic.
2336 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pokemon purist here...this is still the best generation of Pokemon games. The limited functionality, oldschool graphics, glitches and bugs, MIDI music tracks... none of the newer ones compare. This is objectively the best Pokemon game. Deal with it.
Just the fact that you get to play as the "World's Greatest Superhero", Buzz Lightyear, is enough to attract my attention! But this isn't just a game with Buzz being the star of the show; this is an all-out 3D action-adventure-platformer that actually manages to give me severe Banjo Kazooie vibes due to how you could find certain characters or hints that would establish a mission for you. Appropriately enough, the levels in this game are HUGE in comparison to what I would see in games such as Super Mario 64! Yet, fascinatingly, every area in the game has specific set pieces and is unique from one another so it actually isn't at all easy to get lost! At the same time, the game proudly encourages exploration, and it makes sure the player has plenty to do and see.
difference. The cgI of the game was also the highest point of the game.
This product is not one of them.
4206 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game still sets the standard for RTS games. It was ground breaking when it was released and remains one of the most current games being played.
5 stars!
games out to date. I still like 2 more but still were talking about a ground breaking classic that every pc owner should have. The pc versian looks way better than the ps2 and x box put together but over all max payne is an action adventure for any die hard fans. But if you want a true classic action adventure game.
I enjoy first Person Shooters but (as humbling online experiences have shown me) I don't have the necesary skills to compete with the top tier human opponents, but Bots and monsters in FPS are fun, and anyway, this game didn't require that much mouse skills. Over the years modders have made some pretty impresive graphic packs to try to make the game a bit more palatable for modern gamers, but considering its age the gameplay is still as rock solid as ever. I truly feel this is a must play game for anyone who the slightest bit interested in CRPGs or PC games in general
Sound and music are equally spectacular. END
This is a well-balanced real time strategy title with a great story and enough replayability that it remains installed on my computer nearly a year later.
Of course, just like any other game, it gets boring after a while, but for me, it took about 100 hours.
The Shark should count down from 5 to 1, then choose your cheats for Zelda. Make sure that you choose either
As you travel on the plot continues to thicken and you find out a good deal about yourself, and your past lives. Another interesting feature is the way that you can "switch" between classes(eg. mage, warrior, cleric), this make your character very versatile, and enjoyable.
3015 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its been a decade since this game has been released & all i can say is 'wow'. This game gets soo much praise (and well blasphemy too) & even has been hailed as 'Quite Possibly The Greatest Game Ever Made', however that's not possible, only to those who think this is the greatest game ever made. But i urge people to try this game out, despite the outdated graphics & no voice overs.
2494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best fighting game I've ever played and best for multiple players. There are 8 regular characters plus 4 secret ones, each with over a dozen different moves. There are 8 regular battle arenas (themed after the 8 characters) and 1 secret one. Starting with three basic moves and playing with another novice, you can master all of the characters and all of their moves. This game is unfortunately rigidly divided by skill, and good players will consistently beat worse ones. I recommend this for everyone, especially those who enjoy games that require quick descisions.
Baldurs Gate 2 is ok, but I recommend the first game most hearty. Because of its incredible music, wonderful story, compelling AD&D style, and with the quality which no game that I can remember has.
2226 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this was required for my game but worth it helps me enjoy the game and resonably priced and easy to install
6425 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Age of Empires: Age of Kings, is definately one of the better realtime stratagy games on the market at this time. The graphics are very good, giving the game a fun edge to it that will keep you hooked as you play. There are many modes that you can play, either start your own war, trading with your allies, and battling your enemies. Or protecting your king and defeating all of the other fiefdoms before they destroy you. But you can also play as Joan of Arc, or Barbarossa, playing missions and liberating France. This game is fun, but it does have a few drawbacks. Alliances with people are hard to keep. The gameplay is a little difficult, making you keep an eye on 15 places at once. Also, as your town progresses, you can make your town better by moving forward in "ages". There aren't nearly enough of these, more would make the game more inviting and fun to play. Also there is not nearly enough different types of weapons (ie. soldiers, calvary..etc) But, this game is definately engaging, and could easily pass a few hours of boredom
2818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game where you catch monkeys with a net. Great video game for kids i grew up playing this one so had to have it back in my collection.
6654 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a good game and is easily beaten if enough common sense is used. Don't worry about your passengers if they die off. It's important to survive to the end, and your reward will be making new friends and have an endless supply of prostitutes.
Gameplay-wise, I can't really say that StarCraft is much of an innovator. Nevertheless, the three races are well balanced and packed with interesting units. There are only two resources, but the resources themselves actually managed to be fairly interesting to me for a while. The single player campaign has well over 40 missions (with StarCraft and BroodWar combined). There are also a few cutscenes for each race.
Even down to the colour or the make of the path shows you how detailed that this is! There is a very wide range of paths, colours and even fences to stop people going where they shouldn't.
1151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I figured I'd throw in my opinion as well. Mainly, this review is for people who have not played the game yet and are wondering if they should. Perhaps you aren't too into RPGs or whatever, so it is my job to convince you! First off, it's more of an RPG/adventure combination, since it doesn't use conventional RPG techniques like turns or experience. But that is a good thing, because the way the game is structured allows for near-total freedom as you play it. Yes, like some people have said, you must beat the dungeons in a certain order, but there are about a million other things you can do whenever you want, and that just expands the boundaries of this game even more. It is truly the greatest game I have ever played, that is no exaggeration. The graphics and the sound are wonderful, the puzzles are NOT as easy as some people are saying -- the Water Temple is maddening! -- and the character development and depth of play is unmatched.
If you must know, the game isn't technically perfect. For one, the framerate can be pretty bad at times, but usually you'll be having too much fun to notice. The storyline, for all its hype, feels somewhat undeveloped. Finally, the expansion pak is required to unlock most of the game, but the extra money to buy the pak is well worth it. Overall, these are insignificant complaints. Sorry that this review is so long, but nothing else would've done this game justice. Your jaw will drop when you see what Rare has accomplished this time. This is a game that can proudly sit alongside your next-gen console shooters.
2638 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 On this GBC you can play any GBC game you want which would be a good thing don't you think? Also if you interested in in what goes on inside The Game Color then make sure you get the Atomic Purple GBC!!!
Graphics were great, but could have been better in my opinion. I wished they had used the same graphics as they did in the trailer in between the campaigns. One small detail I was disappointed in was the ending, though. It kind of left me with the thought, "That's it?" (After all that hard work). I was hoping for an ending movie like the beginning.
In summary, I wish Pandemic had spent more time tightening the code. The AI routines are poor, and I feel more effort should've been put into making sure Battlezone 2 runs on low-end computers (like mine). Other than that, it's a very good game. But I don't believe it exceeds or meets the standards of the original game. Perhaps the third time will be the charm?
That out of the way, let's slip once again into the Survival Horror genre with Resident Evil 3. To be flat-out-honest I loved this game from begining to end. Never once did I find myself annoyed or slowed down with any problems while playing this game. The graphics and sound are not much more than Resident Evil 2 gave us BUT the game itself seems to flow seemlessly with RE 2 in every aspect.
7173 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The massive almost completely open world gaming experience this game gives you is unbelievable! Graphics in it are amazing, and even though the game can be frustrating at times, the storyline and the characters keep you hooked throughout the game. Its gets boring at times, spending hours on hours trying to find that last banana to unlock that last character, but if you love games like Banjo Kazooie, your going to love this one! Donkey Kong 64 makes use of all the graphics the Nintendo 64 has to offer, which is a key reason why this game is considered to be a classic. The game also includes shooting, adventure, puzzles, and exploration as well. Lastly, this game has one of the best intro scenes to a game I've ever seen. It's creative and hilarious. If the intro and the theme song to the game isn't enough to reel you in, playing as the big and bad Donkey Kong and all of his friends will sure do the trick.
2. For the most part, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to solve the puzzles.
7978 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game made my childhood!! Deserves nothing less than 5 stars!!
with the loads of areas, enemies and quests you'll be busy for hours. you pick up new weapons and abilities almost constantly, so its pretty much impossible to get sick of this series. its a classic. its one of the best platformers on PS1, and if you enjoy 2d platformers at all, check out this little gem now, before it gets even more expensive.
Boss battles are just as good but when you go to the death egg u encounter silver sonic a robotic looking sonic prototype
To heal yourself, you need to collect green herbs that are laying throughout the police station, and white spray bottles (which heal you completely). They are everywhere in the game, which means, on easy mode NONE of the four quests are really that hard. Just don't go around shooting everything you see and you should have no problem finishing the game.
The music is great.
4325 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still love this game. Happy to find it. Didn't have a code to play but was able to google search and get a code that would allow me to download the software.
2859 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 yippie ka yay, Duke established himself as a major rugged man in this title. Classic shooting the same style as doom. Filled with jet packs invisibility and loads of guns! A shooter fan will appreciate the history and even the multiplayer versus bots that is sure to entertain for hours!
In conclusion, I strongly recommend Homeworld to strategy gamers with an open mind. When it was first released, very few people had the PC's with sufficient processing power to play this game. Now? If you have anything faster than a Pentium III 450MHz, then I can't recommend this game highly enough. It is a classic that you'll be hooked on and playing years from now. Just buy this game. You won't regret it.
410 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 works well for me, except i can't get my championships to show at the end. Im not sure if that is a glitch or not.
every decent simulator on the market since 1989, but my specialty is WWII aircraft since that is my generation. I'm partial to the Pacific Theater, and particularly
The Hazard Team has special uniforms (suits with energy fields and self-healing systems, and a power-generation backpack), special weapons (from your basic on-screen weapons to captured alien weapons, to the "infinity modulator" which the Borg are unable to defend against, to some analogs to conventional weapons (shotgun, grenade launcher, etc).
There's alot to like about this game. The music is actually really good for a Sega Genesis game, and the sound effects are also good. Beavis and Butthead sound great, and the only audible flaw is the overuse of the stock soundbite "grunt" that is applied to all the enemies when taking damage. The game looks very good, and represents Mike Judge's cartoon very well.
END of SML2- Mario defeated wario an got his castle back and warios attempt to take over marioland failed...WL3:SML3- Wario realy wanted a castle but didn't know how to get one until he remembered a rumor about a gang of thieves (forgot name) stole a giant peach/toadstool statue that mario ( yes Mario) was forever lookin for an Wario thot if he found it first, he could sell it for $$$ to the royal family so he headed off for his gold...and castle of coarse...this is where U come in to help wario on his journey....
Visually, the game is absolutely gorgeous. Each Age has an entirely different look and feel to it. The user interface is extremely simple and intuitive. The haunting soundtrack and well-done QuickTime animations also add a lot to the overall feel of the game.
Graphics:Excellent in their day but not so good now. But you can see everything that you need to to finish a level. Although what more than makes up fo the graphics is the ability to blow your enemies to bits with a pipe bomb. You actually see the arms,legs and head go flying around. Also,if you're a good shot you can blow off a pigs head. If the Pig is close to the wall he leaves a blood stain(or several)on the walls and floor. Enemies are designed great and Duke looks like he benches 800lbs. Interact with almost everything and anybody.
Graphics: The graphics look great with it's awesome looking levels like Diablo's level that has the raging volcano is nice to look at as is Armadon's cave level which looks too cool. The dinosaurs/apes themselves just look fantastic. Blood spraying out of your opponent and yourself is just plain brutal and awesome to look at as is watching your opponents heart explode when you just beaten him.
6981 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 what a joke, this game is worthless. I wouldn't have taken this game if it had been for free, let alone 4 dollars!
2487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has to be one of the best games I have ever played. The whole concept of nintendo characters pounding other nintendo characters into oblivion is interesting, and very fun. The Comical and Chaotic feeling of running around and bashing other players of the field in multyplayer fun. You play as one of twelve characters; four of which must be unlocked. The basic characters are all easy to play with, and relatively popular. They are as follows: Kirby (Kirby), Mario (Mario), Link (Zelda), Samus Aran (Super Metroid), Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong), Fox McCloud (Star Fox), Pikachu (Pokemon), Yoshi (Mario). Most of these should be familiar to the moderate gamer, with the exception of Samus, a popular GB character with Metroid. There are many items in this game that you can collect to boost progress. You can get a light saber type thing, making an adequate weapon for plasy. You can also get a fire flower (Mario Bros), Pokeball (Pokemon), and ray gun (star fox). You can also get a Star Man, making you invincible, and a hammer, letting you smash other opponents out of the match.

such as blocking/countering and so forth.
This game is close to godliness; definitely my favorite game of all time. Highly recommended.
-Music is a pleasure to listen to
6889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an awesome platformer with my favorite game character. Great set of moves, interesting enemies, and entertaining levels. If you have a N64 you should pick this up for sure.
1961 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game.
The level design is excellent.
438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tekken 2 it the huge sequel to the best selling fighter, Tekken, this game includes advanced fighting and secret characters to die for. Not only theat, but it had a plethera of gameshark codes to make the game easier. this game also introduced the 10 hit combo, the automatic win. Namco has done it again and they have done it with flying colors, this game is a must have for the fighting fans.
7508 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still jump on my monitor when I'm shot. The variety of weapons, the reality of the game, the maps from all around the world turns Rogue Spear in to a habit. The only complain I have is the bad AI that causes problems sometimes, but most of the time they are my planning and coordination mistakes. Great game that all collectors should have.
P.S Sorry this wasn't as detailed if you've read my other reviews such as season ticket, madden 2001, Ken Griffey Jr., and Day trader.(Season Ticket is my best one so far)
5275 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fear Effect is excellent! The graphics are fun, the storyline is great, the gameplay is exciting... It is the best game I have played in a while.
6479 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok everybody this is the first serious WW2 game to come along, and it captivated America. From the scenes straight from saving private ryan to the sound that was almost erie this is an all around game. I personally own this game and can truly testify to the graphics, and personna that make up Medal of Honor. This game takes you beyond what you would expect from an aversge game, it takes you to the inner workings of the German war machine. You personally try to dismantle the nazis and try for the right of the Medal of Honor.
The controls in this game are very responsive and feel as natural as can be for a SNES game. You never really feel like you have to force or struggle to perform any available action. Mario never stops dead in his tracks and doesn't just start moving at a constant speed. He builds up to a walking speed and comes slowly to a stop. As was introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario can run and if he has a cape equipped he can fly in the air after reaching a maximum running speed. A totally new addition to the series for Mario was the spin jump. By pressing the "A" button, Mario was able to jump into the air while spinning around like a tornado. Doing this allowed the player to usually defeat enemies requiring multiple hits in one shot and you could also break certain yellow blocks by performing this jump onto them.
Each character has his or her own stage. The stages are mind-blowing. Don't just take my word for it, rent the game and waste 4 or 5 dollars becaues after you play it you are going out to your local Best Buy to get this game.
5917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Man! when I first heard about this game I was so happy! for one reason I loved the FF Series and have played almost everyone! This one truely stands out as one of the best and Diffrent ones! Great Graphics,Sound,Control,and Fun Factor! And now with it's new low price anyone can own it! Now I just can't wait for FFXI for PSX and FFX and IX for PS2 :-) So do yourself a favor and buy this game! you will not leave your House for about 2 to 3 Months.
Everything seems out of place at first, but once you see the zombies come after them, Leon and Claire get separated and now it is a MAD rush to the police station.
Possibly the best use of a Super NES.
1405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I stand behind this game being the best Super Mario game nintendo has produced. Too bad it was on a system that people didn't enjoy - too many complaints over the control and the game selection and graphics capability it was a true underdog. But Super mario 64 has so many good qualities
9853 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I heard that the "Duke Nukem 64" game was pretty much identical to the PC version, I just had to pick it up. I loved it. Sure, it didn't have enough weapons, and I didn't like that the strippers where taken out, nor that the language was cut down, but none-the-less, I still loved it and the new changes to it.
This game has my highest recommendation.
6528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I WAS A BIG FAN OF THE SERIES - UNTIL THEY GOT REALLY CHEESY EPISODES. BUT MAY GO BACK TO IT NOW THAT IT'S ON IT'S LAST SEASON. BUT I LOVE THIS GAME !! SURE THE GRAPHICS AREN'T THE BEST , BUT THE GAMEPLAY IS AWESOME !! IF YOU USE ONE MOVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIMES - YOU HEAL YOURSELF. PLUS KILLING ENEMIES WITH HER CHAKRAM IS SHEER PLEASURE !! NOT TO MENTION ALL THE COOL MONSTERS TO DO BATTLE WITH ! THERE ARE MANY MYTHICAL GREEK MONSTERS SCATTERED THRU THIS GAME AS WELL... LIKE THE''CYCLOPS'' '' MEDUSA'' AND THE ''MINOTAUR''.. AS WELL AS SOME ''SKELETONS '' ''HARPIES'' ''STONE GOLEMS'' AND OF COURSE PLENTY OF SOLDIERS , RUFFIANS, AND AMAZONS. AND DON'T FORGET THE EVIL WIZARDS AS WELL... THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES TO KEEP YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE !!! SO PICK UP THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING ADVENTURE GAME OF ALL TIME , AND BATTLE ON !!
You pick up these little colored diamond things called rublees that you can use to buy stuff with. But they look really big, so I wonder how Link can carry so many in his pockets? And if you don't pick the rublees up soon enough, they begin flashing and disappear! I guess they're like...big holograms or something, like in Star Wars. Why are there so many rublees hidden in the grass and under rocks? I really wish I could mow my parents lawn in real life and find money like that.

Like many previous Mario games, experimentation is integral to the experience of playing. You must explore everything, leave no rock unturned, no mushroom mute, no door unopened. Mario himself has so many possible movements, and the environment is so intensely interactive, that even the least experimental players will spend hours on the first level without achieving anything in particular. The game is initially less accessible than previous Mario titles, although the three-pronged analog controller isn't really where the difficulty lies -- the joypad itself performs excellently. Overall, the biggest obstacle in the game is finding the correct viewpoint. The camera, which moves on its own (unless directed manually by using the four gold buttons), tries to find the optimal angle to view the action, though occasionally you're simply not able to see where you're going. Additionally, frustration sets in as you spin the camera around while simultaneously attempting to run across a moving plank or tip-toeing across a tiny ledge. But getting the hang of SM64 is all a matter of practice , and as soon you catch on, you will execute these skills unconsciously. The variety of levels and scale each world is simply breathtaking. The game consists of 15 massive courses in which Mario can attain seven stars per course, with numerous secret areas and bonuses, including 15 extra stars (for a total or 120 stars). It'll surely take the average gamer 60 hours to reach the third and final Bowser and free the princess (not to mention find Yoshi), so the game's replay value is bountiful. And despite all of their saccharin-sweet cuteness, the graphics are magnificent. Shigeru Miyamoto's dream of producing an interactive cartoon has been fully realized -- the animation is lavish, the textures rich, and even the most superfluous touches have been completely executed. SM64 is not perfect, however. Despite the efficiency of the hardware's Load Management, draw-in is noticeable, and occasionally gamers will look right through walls or objects. Still, this is as close to perfection a game has ever been (64-bit, no less). Super Mario 64 also puts Nintendo's preference of "silicon over CDs" to the test, with pleasingly familiar results. Most owners of either a Saturn or a PlayStation (or both), have by now acclimated to long load times, though grumblingly. Super Mario 64 will remind them of how gaming used to be: load time is nil, and reaching a playable level is only a matter of seconds. From the time you switch on the unit until you're done, the flow is seamless, and moving from one game area to another is instantaneous. Nintendo's musical prodigy, Koji Kondo, turns in an inspired performance, somehow finding room on the small cartridge to create the appropriate music for each world. Even though some tracks are cheesy, others, like the sitar-laden score of the first fire level, are more than effective in setting the mood for the level, and are as atmospheric as any Redbook audio. Also impressive are the sound effects: Mario's onscreen antics are matched by grunts, whoops, and hollers, fleshing out his spunky personality. As a whole, the flagship N64 game more than makes up for any painful delay (or delays) imposed upon the unit's release. SM64 is complete in every way, and the challenging experience of working toward each new level is far greater than the game's minimal flaws. Nintendo's craftsmanship and zeal for creating fantastically enjoyable games has never shown through more than in Super Mario 64. Nintendo 64's early flagship title demonstrates the power of the hardware as well as the creative genius of Miyamoto and team. Not only does the game obliterate every platformer before it in terms of visual finesse, it plays just as well if not infinitely better than previous 2D incarnations of the Mario franchise. 3D worlds are huge and cleverly laid-out so that there's never a dull moment. Secrets play a huge part of the experience, recapturing the classic gameplay style of the series. In fact, this game is exactly as one might hope it would be: Mario in 3D. More freedom, more space, more options, better graphics, improved and elaborated control schemes -- it's all there. Possibly the greatest videogame achievement ever. Don't rent. Buy.
Well I HIGHLY recommend you buy this album. It's a good buy, well worth your money, and it's fun.
7293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, you might to need to know, this game is made by Rare, the same people, that made the awesome Donkey Kong Country series, for the Super Nintendo. This game is one for Puzzle lovers. In order, to get the much needed "Golden Bannanas" that unlock new levels, you must solve many hard puzzles! And, your'll need to Master the skill, of changing from one monkey to another, early on, since your'll need to use it a lot. If you have, Banjo tooie, Super Mario 64, or other games, of that type, and you like them, your'll Most likely like Donkey Kong 64, too.
4754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania has been around since the original NES. we have played as countless belmonts, earned countless powerups, and destroyed draculas on countless occasions. Now the castle is back and to the rescue come Alucard, an acient vampire slayer with a shocking past. The castle is huge, the action is huge, and the enemies are huge!
1819 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has lots of advantages. The last game was good,but this one is better. The reason I gave it a four star rading is because it's hard. It's possible to do it without the guide,but impossible without a memory card. But you can like it. A good buy.
8521 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In all the "New" ones for sale that I have seen, the sellers admit that it is, in fact, NOT NEW. Frankly, the fact that Amazon doesn't do anything about this blatent lying does not instill much confidence in me about their system.
Once you've gotten used to the interface, and the totally new mind-boggling environment of real 3D space, Homeworld is a surprisingly enjoyable game. The graphics are what draw you in first. Two years after it was first produced, and I find the graphics to be totally entrancing. I'm not sure whether even new games like Sacrifice or Giants: Citizen Kabuto can surpass it...at least not without upgrading your PC to a 1GHz CPU.
The story is also a problem, contrary to the high praise that die-hard fans often give it. This story is confusing for no particular reason, and the writers are totally lost in terms of how they want to tell their tale. I like the characters--tell me what happens to them. No? Okay--then I'm saving the world. So why do I care about this schmo's childhood trauma? The total effect was that when I got to the end of the game, I felt incredibly shortchanged in terms of story fulfillment, since the characters' significance pretty much takes a nose dive on the third disk. The story is needlessly complex at points and the major inconsistencies aren't dealt with particularly well (I do not consider a tube of goo an effective address to a plot hole). While the plot is innovative and epic, it is also confused and meandering, and you may have to play through it twice to figure out what's going on.
-Soundtrack is an appealing mix of classic prog rock and modern music that does a good job of being vaguely European and not too intrusive
The main objective of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is to find the purple gem found in each of the 25 stages of the game. You HAVE to find all 25 purple gems otherwise the game won't allow you to fight the boss at the end of the world you're in. For example, if you're in World 4, and can't find the purple gem in stage 3, you won't be allowed to face the boss at the end of that world. You're stuck there until you find that darn purple gem. Once you find the gem, and face and defeat the boss, you move on to the next world and repeat the process of collecting one purple gem per level and face the boss. By the way, there's 5 worlds total and 5 stages in each world. That comes to 25 stages total.
There is hardly anything wrong with this game....and nothing I can think of right now!
Graphics- Very Good for the first snes game made
The so called "clunky" action is perfect. Harry is not a S.T.A.R.S. member or trained with a gun, so why would he be a perfect shot? We normal people certainly wouldn't.
The game has an interesting plot, compelling characters, and many challenges and secrets to discover. It also has a few plot twists that add spice. If you haven't played this game or those that have followed, PLEASE start here! It just gets better from this point on...
2. The game tends to get a little bogged down in the political story and you can be listening to a conversation for a very very long time. This will be the biggest flaw in this series following this game. Lots of talking and watching, interrupting your gameplay. Not necessarily the worst thing, but sometimes you just want to blow something up.
Some minor gripes: the manual doesn't have enough info, combat used to be a MAJOR pain until i stumbled over the pause commands (and had to play with them to figure out which ones to set), having the main character enter a store makes life frustrating for other LAN players, the plot doesn't seem multiplayer friendly (you lose all those NPCs which are important to the story - the party is so small), the maps don't make a ton of sense, group movement can be really annoying and my number one complaint: you can't use arrow keys to move your character! i know, it sounds minor, but the view screen is only large enough to show a few tiles, so you have to scroll the screen, click a destination point, by which time your guy has already walked there so you scroll some more, repeat - it gets so that you never actually see your character because you're so busy setting way points for him to walk. At a minimum, if you have to play this carpal-tunnel torture of moving your characters leg by leg, you should at least be able to make the screen center on the character - the little guy just walks off the screen and you don't know where he went. At a minimum, let me see more of the map at one time - i have a 19" monitor and prefer looking at what's happening rather than the large pretty pictures some artist drew.
Pros: Incredible graphics, Ability to fly many medium bombers, Amazing selection of flyable and non-flyable aircraft, Great AI, Many war fronts available, Awesome ships. Ability to change system files.
6087 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Just fine! Definitely worth the buy. I needed to replace two that were lost (I, of course, found them a couple weeks later), and these were excellent. Now I have four, and it's actually kind of awesome. They work just as good. I was a little hesitant, because of some reviews, and then the fact that non OEM controllers have a reputation for sticking and buttons being less nice and such - and these are absolutely fine. Some of my friends cannot tell the difference, and really don't care which controllers they get/use.
Sunset Sands: Egyptian themed course, running through ruins. Unlike the other courses, this one has shortcuts that make a very significant difference in your position.
If you can find it, buy it! It's worth the price. They should re-release this on computer or the next video game system.
GAMEPLAY-
182 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a great quality skin. I was surprised of how comfortable it is. Especially how it'd keep the controller clean.
8871 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a little late in the game to write a review about a game from the late 90's but this is my favorite game. Hands down. Good music, good story, great length, great re-playability, excellent difficulty, it is better than it's PS3 counter parts. Armored Core 1 is old but a classic to me.
One major gripe with this game that I have is teh experience system. It divides up the experience rather then give each party member an exact copy of the amount recieved. Another problem is the amount of "Cosmetic" strikes and how you miss a lot. I guess that is for "realism" but it just annoys me. Also, sometimes the game is REALLY non-linear so you have to get a guide or talk to EVERYONE in a place to see where you need to go.
Redemption brings us to the XII century, I believe, where our first and main character - knight Christoff is falling in love with a nun Anezka, who saved his life after he was terribly injured during the war. But the things aren't that simple - at the time while Christoff is killing some vampires,who terrorized Prague, he becomes an object for a few different vampire clans. Yes, vampires aren't just some savage creatures, they live like people, in different groups, clans, and laws (for the further introduction to that I suggest you to read some info on the tabletop game Vampire the Masquerade).So one of the vampire clans (a "good" one) decides to make Christoff an immortal vampire- a part of them, before he gets killed by the "evil" others. That causes our hero even more troubles, since it is totally impossible for a vampire and a nun to be together forever. And he wanders off into the dark night. But Anezka doesnt give up, leaves the monastery and goes on the search for Christoff,and ,of course, ends up captive in the opposite vampire group. So our goal is to find her. But thats not going to be easy. During the game Cristoff meets other vampires, who willingly join him, but you never know who to trust, the vampire world is full of traitors and intrigues as well! The gaming process consists of two parts. The first one is located in Prague and Vienne, still old times. And the second part is London/NY just before the coming new year 2000.
That's not even the problem with this RF switch. The connection to my TV is real grainy with wavy lines that run through the screen. It looks horrible. From the very start of gameplay it looked like I was playing on one of those old rabbit ear TVs from the 70s but this was on a flat screen. If you tested a Sega or SNES on this you would probably think there was something wrong with the system because of how bad the connection is.
4253 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 All of the reviews I've read seem to come from longtime players of this game rather then new players who actually bought the Battlechest. One of the first things you need to know about this addition that there is NO MANUAL. I was pretty surprised to discover this. But wait, you say, there are two official strategy guides. Yes there are. But they won't teach you how to play the game. They don't include basic stats on all of the units; they don't include all short cut commands; they don't include technology trees; they don't explain the concept of real time strategy games. They offers hints, observations and walk throughs of all of the missions which are handy, but not a substitute for a manual. The only help the game itself offers is a list of some of the keyboard short cuts, hints and one training mission which will be of little use unless you are familiar with real time strategy games.
4822 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Pros-
TOWER OF DRUAGA
The game wraps up with one of two endings and without spoiling or giving anything away it depends on if you save or allow a character to die. dependent on which circumstance the game ends on you will receive some special equipment of which can be used in an, ahead of it's time, enhanced play through where you will have all gear you collected in the first play through. Snake is quite a dapper fellow in a tuxedo, just to give you an idea.
Treasure: Treusure is just lying around in different places. Most of the enemies turn into treasure(which looks like gem stones). Some treasure are in chests. Most chests can be rammed or flamed to open them, but some requre dynamite or fire works or other ways to open them.
628 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In comparison to other N64 games, this piece is a worthwhile buy. The single player mode is challenging enough to warrant playing for a while to unlock the secret characters. Two player mode gets pretty boring, pretty quickly because there are only 6 tracks to race on so there's not much variety. The stunt mode is the main appeal of the game and could easily occupy you for hours. However, it soon just becomes a thumb spinning frenzy for points. Given this is fun for a while but it gets all that white junk inside the control stick holder, and ruins thumb coordination for the rest of the day. So buy this game and spin in circles to your heart's content.
Simply speaking, this game is about items, obtaining them, using them etc... they can make or brake a character (combat-wise). They can increase your mana or HP pool 10 times... they can make your skills several times more powerful than if you wouldn't had them, etc. Items ranging from ordinarily common to so rare and unique you may never see them drop.
5341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Cool game thanks
The N64 did well with shooters, and Quake II is a solid addition to the library. My only real gripe is with the series itself; from this point on we lost the moody Gothic feel of the original for something much more sci-fi. Still, that may not matter when the enemies come tearing into you.

Another thing people criticize about games... loading times. The loading times in Quake II are extremely short. Well, not always. Let me explain. You have to go through a bunch of mini levels in order to complete a mission entirely. Sometimes while walking from door to door inside one of the mini levels, the game will take, and I promise I'm not exaggerating, TWO SECONDS to load the next room. Yes, that's right. Two whole seconds. It's not a big deal at all.
Fav Character- All of 'em especially Nash, Kyle Alex, Jessica and Tempest
2187 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ive only been playing B.A.R. for a few weeks & I have now purchased a 2nd copy in case the 1st one dies of old age.
5976 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The only diabolical thing about this game is how bad it is. Blizzard's strategy is this: make the game so much fun in the beginning that you sell lots o copies and than later it is no more fun. They make more money faster that way. But wasting money for this game which you will shelf after realizing there's nothing more to do is a bad idea. Hack, slash, pick up, hack slash, level up, pick up, hack, slash, player killer, hack, slash, kill, level up. That's how i can describe the game. Do yourself a favor, if you're a hack and slasher buy a hack and slasher that is actual FUN and doesn't try to be something it's not. RPG fans should really turn away from this.
4434 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sony Playstation was the first main console game to come out with CD games, and the ability to play audio CDs. This gave it the ability to hold more information than a normal cartridge game ... and many games came in multiple CD packs. This equalled longer gameplay and more complexity than the N64 or Sega systems.
more people should play old games like this, not only to allow them to see that good games don't have to be all about the graphics and that story should play a larger part in modern games whether they are for console/pc or some other device.
Resident Evil 2 stands proud today as a major achievement in the world of video games and a game people will probably never forget. Owning it will do you some good.
The best way to sum up FFVIII is: a Work in Progress. It reminds me a lot of a very, very early draft of FFX, with the same kind of futuristic, dark the-world-is-ending kind of plot, and many of the same character types (Squall is kinda like a young Auron, Zell is similar to Tidus, Selphie IS Rikku.) But I still love playing it, and I don't know why.
Stage 3: some song for the graveyard (this is where THRILLER should be)
Grandia 1: Adventure
9555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who can go wrong with a Final Fantasy game? This one is based more on strategy than anything, but it is still fun especially for a fan. Especially since this was around in my childhood it was nice to have it again.
3591 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OK. So it was left in dirt by SEGA. Who cares? It still has the sweetest games and awesome controler(though I must say it is very ugly). The VMU(visual memery unit) is the best memery card for any system. My favorite games are 1. All the 2Ks, 2K1s, and 2K2s 2. Sonic Adventure(1-2) 3. Crazy Taxi (1-2) and 4. Soul Calibur. Sure, I'll buy a PS2, X-BOX, and NGC, but Dreamcast is going to keep me busy for A WHILE.
143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the installation took a bit of work, youtube video's help quite a bit.
7654 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best
Overall, FF7 is one of the weakest games in the FF series (inferior to the other PS1 game-FF9, super nintendo games FF4, FF5, FF6, even inferior to FF10.
6197 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We all played with toys when we were younger. Well thanks to the Dreamcast, we can all play with toys again and not feel guilty! Only this time it is war! You control planes, helicopters, tanks and other vehicles through missions around the house. Your objective; defeat the Toy Commander! The game begins with training missions to sharpen your skills. You will need it. Then it is off to the missions. The controls take a few tries to get use to them, but are easy to master. The graphics are surpurb! It really looks like you are in a toy world house! The game play is good. I would say excellent, but some of the tasks are pointless or seemingly impossible. But this does not ruin the game. It is still hours of fun! It can also become addicting! All in all, 5 stars is deserved. I recommend this game if you enjoy war like games that don't require you to have a keyboard for help with the controls or want to see blood and guts!
One thing I forgot to mention is the bonus your units receive from fighting on their element, in fact some creatures, like the Fairy-Dragon are LITERALLY invisible on their element whereas others simply gain regeneration.
The biggest problem is that so much of the land you explore consists of emptiness. Oh sure you'll see trees, ramps, castles, buildings, enemies such as goombas, chain chomps, badly and laughably animated thwomps lifting up and slamming down, pokeys, rolling boulders, and other things that have become a trademark of the Mario series, but the amount of items to find and collect is *extremely* limited to coins (both yellow and red ones) and the occasional power-up that enables Mario to either fly (which admittedly is pretty fun) or obtain the incredibly boring metal cap that makes Mario invincible. An alternative to the starman perhaps, with lousy side effects (Mario can't jump as high or far while wearing the metal cap).
Pros:
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
2139 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!
8271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There's a reason why this game is held in such high regard among true blue shooter fans. Einhander has the trappings of a legendary game within its genre. Dazzling graphics, tight control, outstanding music and sounds, and a strong variety of weapons. They're all here, but that's not where the fun stops. There's also an art gallery that grows as the quality of your performance increases and an intriguing story, much different from the usual "an evil alien empire wants to destroy humanity, let's send one fighter pilot to stop all 500,000,000 of them" fare. In Einhander, you're on a suicide mission and you're painfully aware of it. Beautiful!
So if your looking for a good game for n64 that was better than any other mario game in history besides melee. This is the game.
Rooms have better graphics, though. The hen-houses in the hatchery, the on-wall bookshelves and torture racks, everything shows a subtle touch.
7633 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had this game growing up and man it was fun. I spent many a nights and days playing it. The only complaint is that it was a little short. I got used to it and could burn through it so fast. It was awesome though and what I wouldnt give to have back my Super Nintendo and all my games from then...including this classic.
Control:
3408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works and it plays and runs fine. No minimal wear or damage done to the system. It runs and plays games smoothly and its what it was intended for. Thank you very much guys the price was a steal and really worth it.
2425 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Kirby OP pls nerf. Seriously, this game is loved by everyone I know. From college buds to cousins, the fights are just amazing.
R4 offers a story for each of four different race managers you can work with. Like the different storylines in a Street Fighter game, this adds a dose of personality, though you won't mistake these stories for award-winning novellas.
I have always been fascinated by the ancient world, especially Egypt. When I came across this game, I had to buy. I didn't realize that I would spend a lot of time being engrossed in this game. And for the value, it's excellent.
To install this game, you'll need the program from the Grand Prix Legends Preservation Society that gets the game to run on modern Windows. I'm using Windows 7. The installer program is a good thing, because the cars and tracks are updated with better graphics, and then further improvements can be added from "patches" and download files on the Internet.
2177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent.
995 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though Wolfenstein 3-D and the Doom franchise had come and gone long before its time, Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64 grabbed the First Person Shooter genre and ran with it for what seemed like miles and miles. Forget a touchdown, this game ran the ball for fifteen hundred yards, with three interceptions and a dozen field goals. Nothing on a home console was even close to its league. And even today, in the afterglow of behemoths like Halo, Metroid Prime and a limitless roster of PC shooters, the game holds up surprisingly well considering its limitations.
8120 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 How many times do we have to tell game designers that game saves are an integral part of any game. Game designers, this is a PC game you're designing and not a console game. Let's start with the bad points as Im sure all the readers would like to read first. The game committed the most sinful act of not providing a save game feature accessible anytime and anywhere in the game. You could only save the game when it loads a new scene or level. I was in a dungeon for 2 hours (real-time), dying, and I couldn't save the game because you have to walk out of the dungeon to make the game reload the level and save your points. This is crazy! This is an RPG we're playing here. I mean, Final Fantasy III (console game) had built in save points in the dungeons. Why cant a PC game like this have one? This is a real turn-off. Next is the interface. I still have to figure out how to properly move the character. It's so hard to control the camera as you move the character in the game. The view pans out then suddenly pans in. The game tried to make its interface unique and it ended up making the game more complex. Graphics are good. Nice colors, voice acting was ok. You need a good sized system though to run this game like a PIII 600 and 32mb video card. Story: well, this game completely ignored the pen and paper version with too many battles in it. I beat the game in 30 hours. So there really isn't much there to expect. Will you buy this game? I say, don't buy it until they patch the game with a save feature. If you're after a RPG, then look somewhere else.
9477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Holy Cow1 It's just like I remembered it! As I played this game on all it's different crazy mazes, I got hooked all over again. The graphics are great considering it's predecessor. (I'm not knocking PACMAN.) And, it's a long game that let's you pick up where you left off if you die and lose all your men. A game with second chances!!!
Cops will start a dangerous car chase for speeding and don't stop when you stop to them
2714 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I would say that Lunar is a worthy RPG and definitely still worth playing if you have an appreciation for the classics. However, it may not be worth paying the exorbitant used prices (the cheapest I found my copy was $60, then one of the discs was all scratched up and nonfunctioning, and I had to buy new discs for $30! Yikes!). Anyway, let's see if Lunar withstands the test of time.
You play as Harry Mason, a single dad with a young seven-year-old daughter named Cheryl. You're on a vacation trip to try to get away from it all, when a mysterious woman appears in the middle of the road. Frantically, you jerk the wheel of your jeep to avoid hitting her, only to end up crashing into a ditch. You lose consciousness, and awake to find you're engulfed in a strange fog, and Cheryl is missing. You don't know where you are, or what's around you, but you know you've got to get Cheryl back.
The graphics and animation are realistic. The music is fair. (I can't say "good" because it doesn't have the wrestlers' theme songs, can I?) The sound effects are nice and the commentators (Vince McMahon and "The King" Jerry Lawler) are great! Memorable comments include McMahon shouting "Boomshakalaka!", "Shocking!" and occasionally, "Somebody call security!". The game also has "special moves" like Doink's "electric hand" and Bret Hart's rolling uppercut. The gameplay is fast and furious. Controls are dead-on. And get this: it has Mortal Kombat-style blocking too!
Compared to the Harvest Moon for the Super Nintendo, this game has a good number of new features:
Still, you've got to love this game. The graphics are great, some of the levels (the first level, windy valley, and speed highway especially) are just plain awesome. Everyone should at the very least play this game, and true videogames fans should own it. It has flaws that can't be ignored, but there are enough moments of greatness (how about the part in the temple where you see the stone carving of chaos destroying the world?!) to more than make up for it. Definitely check it out.
You take on the role of a suspected pedo, dressed in a white gangster suit, who must rescue children (hidden in closets, drawers, garbage cans) from the evil Mr. Big. Upon being rescued these kids respond joyously with 'MICHAEL', knowing that they are now safe with the King of Pop. You need to rescue all the little sprogs in every level before you meet the end-level boss. But some children are too well hidden.
The graphics were good for it's time. Gameplay was quick which is a good thing. It is also the first N64 game to have blood in a WWE game.
2081 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Cool

6344 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like to play "old games", then you need this system. Has some of the best games ever created on it. If you think that you won't have fun with such an old consol, think again. I have one right next to my Xbox 360 and I play it just as much.

7580 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was released near the end of 1996 and was one of the first generation games for the N64. It's a decent Star Wars game overall with nagging issues that keep it from being one of the better games for the system.
For reference, here is my system.
7569 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game years ago and someone stole it from me, so I purchased another. Fun game to play.
Music: The music for an original game boy game is great, but I don't like when you die the creatures still move around in the background, and the music is still going for quite a while after your death. For the most part, the music is pretty decent, I especially like the train ride music as that matches the train levels perfectly.
Would highly recommend this seller!

Flash forward to 2002. 11 years after Sonic the Hedgehog was released, the blue-blur is still kicking in his last game, Sonic Adventure 2. This game, however, would not be possible if Sega had not discovered the talents of Yuji Naka and the rest of the to-be Sonic Team back in 1990. Sonic the Hedgehog is still one of the best games in the series, and I'm sure it will stay that way for years to come.
In this game Ryu can transform into either Ken or Akuma, pretty neat, and all with moves of their own! Charecters with some of the stronget specials would be in my opinion
Still, I'mgetting more and more addictive in this game,, you just have to get a lot of practice.
7362 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario games are the best!
3608 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The following is the review of the SYSTEM, not the games that can be played on it. First off, at first I thought that the controller would be pretty clunky due to its size. But in actuality, it is fairly light and fits nicely in one's hand. Bigger-handed people might have a problem, though. What I REALLY like about the controller is that ALL buttons are accessible without having to remove your hand from ANYTHING. Unlike that stupid N64 system that has buttons in the most unreachable places in the heat of battle. I didn't see the point behind the little video-game screen on the controller, though. To me, it just weighs it down more and--let's face it--why bother playing pixally games when you can play your Dreamcast? One thing that I like about Playstation is that the memory cards are inserted into the system, not the controller. Wise move. But unfortunately, Sega didn't have the foresight to do that. As for the system, it is slightly smaller than a Sony Playstation. Graphics run really well on this system and I'm surprised at what it can do. There is one thing that I have to say about the 4 Megs of Video RAM on Playstation /PS2 versus the 8 Megs of Video RAM on Dreamcast. When I watch a Final Fantasy FMV on Playstation, I know that they are pushing that system TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT. If Dreamcast has TWICE the Video RAM, then I expect to see something TWICE as impressive, something that is so graphically intense that it threatens to overheat the system. But sadly, I haven't seen any Dreamcast game do that. In fact, some of these games look like the regular Playstation could handle them. Overall, this is a nicely designed system, but now that Sega is putting an end to its Dreamcast games, it's not worth buying. I'd buy a Playstation 2--Metal Gear 2 is around the corner (and FF X) or maybe a Nintendo Dolphin.

3. The game crashed a couple of times, and I never was able to get autoplay to work.
Onslaught is the boss in this game
2304 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Heroes! Sonic freaking Heroes. Gosh I love this game, I remember loving it as a kid and I still love it now that I'm older and playing it again. I like having four different unique teams and stories to play and the play style is a lot of fun too. You should definitely get this game if you are a fan of Sonic!
- There are four different towns you operate out of at different points in the game, each with their own textures. Also, the randoom dungeon layouts of Diablo are back.
8557 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is definately A. a good x-men game B. a good snes game C. a shining example of a good classic Capcom game! You choose your mutant and each one has their own levels in which they complete, the gameplay, music, sound, and graphics are amazing for a snes game, I would higly recommend this to those who love the music style of the megaman games (it is present here and it rocks!) and those who are fan of x-men of course! all in all, a fun game 10/10
1884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spyro is a cute little dragon with a huge boost of cool powers. It is an incredibly fun game action game that is great for kids or adults.
Story: Truly exquisite. You play as Solid Snake (who is perhaps one of the most famous PlayStation game characters if not one of the most famous game characters of all time), who is sent to Shadow Moses Island in Alaska to neutralize a terrorist threat (pretty standard action movie stuff). But, the story will continue to throw various plot twists that may seem random at first, but add up in the end (I'm avoiding the main plot elements just so I don't spoil it for anyone who hasn't played the game yet). 10/10.
9953 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When it comes to talking about Pac-Man for the Game Boy, there's nothing I can actually say that isn't already said by other reviewers. It's classic arcade Pac-Man on the go, wherever you are. It's certainly not a bad deal at all.
Get the idea of how frustrating this game can be? And along with all that, Flick does not shut up, he keeps saying something every 10 seconds. Along with all these problems, you have to deal with bad graphics, a annoying camera and some really HARD token collecting levels later on in the game (Such as the tree level)
Very good rap tracks

Your journey to find out who you are will take you from the slums of the hive, to the depths of hell on Baator. Along the way you will meet some very interesting people to help you along. Among them are: Fall-From-Grace (a succubuss), Dakkon (a Githzeri), Vhailor (A dead Mercykiller whose spirit still inahbits his armor), Morte (a funny fl;oating skull), and many others. The voice overs are all top notch. Some of the best are voiced by Dan Castellenta (the simpsons) the voice of Dakkon is done by the man who plays A.D SKinner on the Xfiles.
4993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent item!
As far as the PlayStation version goes, you are forced to select only one fighter and an assisting teammate due to the PlayStations lack of RAM and VRAM (the Japanese Sega Saturn version requires a packed-in 4 MB RAM Cartridge which allows the game to play exactly like the Arcade version with minimal load times). However there is a trick if you are playing a 2 player game! If both players select the same characters, then you are able to play the game the way it was meant to be played: 2 vs. 2 tag-team! This game plays almost exactly like the previous years X-Men vs. Street Fighter on PlayStation with some new features and different characters. If you liked the way the PlayStation port of Marvel Super Heroes played then you will like this even better since it is more of the same with more character variety and more colorful graphics. Aside from the cutbacks in gameplay style and missing frames of animation (another downside to the PlayStations lack of RAM!), this game is enjoyable enough if you aren't obsessed with the Arcade verion too much. I would still go for the Japanese Sega Saturn version since it is Arcade perfect or wait (and hope) for Capcom to release a Marvel Anthology or another Capcom Arcade Classics compilation with X-Men: Children of The Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, this game, Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. C'mon Capcom!!!!!!
2301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game
6218 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 SimAnt is an excellent simulation of ant battle, but is easy to beat and the sound and graphic quality is poor. Basically, you're an ant in a colony trying to destroy the red ants. A spider (which somehow shoots lasers occasionally, don't ask me) and ant lions are among the existing perils. It's pretty involved, with mating, behavior control, and foraging. These can be left alone (except the first), but it can be tougher without them. The full-game mode, the only one that I find worthwile, is too easy to beat and involves a simple strategy. I recommend this primarily for people who like strategy games.
- Amazing gameplay mechanic
And Im not going to give it less just cause it's a little old.
I'm sure this game is a hot favorite with all adventure fans. 5 STARS!
2692 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an awesome controller, great to play sports games like All Star Baseball 98 and Kobe Bryant in NBA courtside and many other cool games from the vast archive of N64 games, keep it up and continue to bring this over the top products for us who are old school.
8517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works as described
2411 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well, I love moving this fast in a vgame. I enjoyed playing in the Tatooine course, and the made-up levels actually seem like real STAR WARS designs, unlike Rogue Squadron 2. Often you're racing through a level, and you kind of want to stop playing....but you don't, because you want to make the next turn, or just love peacefully gliding over the land at that speed. I never got into tuning up the racers, maybe there's something lacking there. You aren't often right beside the other pod, it would have been nice to implement an element of slamming into the other pod to have a fun/dangerous fight while performing the race, if that option were here and was fun, it would provide an all-new level of depth/excitement to the game, maybe if you had to avoid Subulba like the film. I thought I heard there will be a sequel to this game, hopefully they will optimize it for the next-gen systems like Xbox, because they didn't when this was merely ported to Sega Dreamcast. A sequel would make a cool online game, but make they could introduce AOTC areas or make a 3-4 more Tatooine levels. The graphics here are very smudgey, I would advise getting the PC or DC version or something, but it's worth getting as it is so [inexpensive] now.
2180 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Does what it is supposed to do.
The graphics? Astounding.
As for the controls, no one will like them at first. It is sort of an acquired taste that most survival horror games have when ti comes to controls. Since all the camera angles are stationary (it makes the game look better so don't complain) this game utilizes the up arrow as always being forward. Some people seem to understand it better if you explain as being an RC car, whether face south, north, east or west, up wil always drive you forward. There realyl is no way around this configuration, it really is best to dive right in and get used to it, even if it means being massacred five minutes in a bunch of times.
There's nothing really original there. Where Nox excels is in some other areas in which other games often fail:
5914 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In Final Fantasy 8, the main character is Squall, he is perceived as a cold, non-caring person. I don't like him that well, he is mean to Rinoa who is a beautiful woman, I don't see who could be someone who looks like her. The only reason this game gets 4 stars is because the main character is not one of the best of Final Fantasy.
5. Sound-You gotta be kidding me! The Sound and music is great! Different sounds occur in different environments for the better!
Joint 2. S3&k and Sonic 1: Mega-Drive or Genesis in the states.
Cant play older games.
- This really is a fun game. I'm only on level 9 (out of 30) on the original, but it's fun. Level 8 took me about 4 hrs to finally beat. But some of this is because there's no instructions in the game (see The Bad). After reading the strategy guide for the level I finally figured out what I needed to do. However, I had fun playing the whole time without getting discouraged.
Value: 10/10 - You'll be begging for more!
From the Music to the story everything is perfect. Music is suspenseful and sorrow full and is composed beautifully.
Limit Breaks:
Anyone who enjoys puzzle-based suspense games should give this one a try... ... it's more than worth it.
I wonder why no one has reviewed this?
The first three games are the best (which is odd, 'cause their graphics are the worst by today's standards), four and five are pretty cool. Six and Seven had cartoon-like graphics, but didn't seem to have the adventurous feel of the others. The first one is still the most fun, and they even added both the old, classic version and a newer version with better graphics!
Overall there is not much to gripe about with this game and i really cannot find much fault with it at all. Although the game length is expected with this sort of game it can seem annoying to others for it to be over so fast but with MGS the game is so enjoyable that this isn't a problem. Also hardcore blasters may complain about the puzzle orientated gameplay but if you ask me its far better this way.
4468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Brood war expansion pack is fantastic. You've only been playing half the game if your playing Starcraft without it. The story line continues from the original Starcraft with extra missions and new troop types. Unlike other game expansion packs Brood War actually feels like it should be part of the original rather than just being bolted onto it. If you love being Terran then buy Brood war just for the Medic, which heals (repairs) Marines and other troops. Medics are best used in pairs (so they can heal each other) Few opponents can stand up under the onslaught of two medics and a full group of marines, together they will do a lot of damage. If you love Protos buy Brood war for the Dark Templars who are not only permanently cloaked but can meld with another (Like Templars) to create Dark Archons who in turn have the MIND CONTROL ability to steal units from your opponent. Unfortunately if you're a Zerg player (like myself ;0), the Zerg don't do as well on the new troops. The Devourer is a new Air to Air attack flyer. It's a little expensive in both minerals and time (evolves from a Mutalisk) compared to its damage. The Lurker, which evolves from a Hydralisk is the only unit that can attack whilst burrowed. Since no unit can move while it is burrowed the Lurker becomes just a glorified sunken colony. It's well worth buying this expansion pack
Iffy bugs. I have a Pentium 3, Voodoo3 3DFX card and 256 of RAM but the game 'stuttered' and froze plenty of times during music/sound sequences. Sometimes (especially in lifts) you get stuck on the floor and have to reset the game to get out.
2540 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You made my sisters week! I have some older Zelda/Link games which my sister loves! So I'm surprising her with this for her birthday! Love the rapid shipping too!
#1 Slayer - launches missles just like a regular rocket launcher. However, it has a twist. Although you must stand totally still while using its Fly-By-Wire feature, you get to actually follow the bullet as you search for someone to kill!! Talk about innovative! Go, RARE!

5410 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Before there was Tekken and Soul Blade and the rest of the current fighters there was Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat was easily the best in terms of richness of the game. The characters moved fluidly, the voices were understandable, and there was blood. The series progressed nicely with great additions and secrets added every step of the way.
Or try The Sims, it's quite entertaining, and very well put together.

2292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 TAILS VOICE ACTOR THOUGH
9209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once upon a time, football video games were considered as boring, repetitive and lack of replay value. However, in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Tecmo decided to change all of that by releasing the game Tecmo Bowl. With only 12 teams from each NFL cities, it made hours of fun and enjoyment, thanks to its replayability value and simple controls.
Final Fantasy VIII isn't a bad game, but it's one that tries so hard to be different from the rest of the series and tries too hard to be better than its predecessor. The truth is, when a game gets labeled the greatest of greats, its probably better not to try and out do it, but to focus on what made it great in the first place and continue in that direction. Final Fantasy VIII is a good game. A great game, even, but its gameplay issues make quite a dent in the game as a whole. It's an amazing experience but with these issues, it keeps it from being the best experience it can be.
5650 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I may be really set against FF7 being remade(as mentioned in my review for it), but FF8 would really benefit from it, since they had already significantly progressed graphically from FF7 to be more realistic(perspective-wise and being less Lego-like than the FF7 character graphics). Of course to do it with voice acting, you wouldn't be able to name the characters, but so what? I wouldn't care. And having gotten FF7 earlier this month and played it(it's been over 10 years since the last time), I noticed similarities, like the rebel faction, and the train/boat ride with Squall, Zell, and Seifer in FF8 and the train ride with Zack, Cloud, and Sephiroth in FF7. And since I brought up that scene in FF8, this game immortalized for me the phrase "Chicken Wuss", though I believe an expletive was to follow the term. A good update from FF7 is being able to switch equipped items between characters. I found the back and forth between the present and past a bit annoying at times. Junctioning magic was interesting, except it meant if you used the magic, your player stats would go down. The card game would also annoy me, I had trouble with the Same/Plus rules. Not saying I didn't like much about the game, there was plenty of storyline/growth for the characters, with the exception of Zell and Selphie, and the game was pretty straightforward which I liked, non-linear games give me headaches. Was glad to have summoning in this game, and the Boost feature for them. I'm giving this game 4 stars because it loses a star for me by having the Squall/Rinoa romance(I don`t know why though, Tidus/Yuna in FFX didn`t bother me, but Squall/Rinoa does).
6724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wario Land II is where the series really came into its own. The original's gameplay was a hugely modified from Super Mario Land 2 to replace Mario's block-hitting and Goomba-stomping with enemy bashing, Ground Pounding, and crazy powers that help improve your regular bashing attack. This game may not have those power-ups, nor does it have any evidence of Mario Land 2, but it surely took all of the great original elements of the first Wario Land and made it 5 times better.
There are a few gripes, however: combat is very easy, because you can draw poweful spells ad infinitum, or just summon the GF a few times (which is free). Nevertheless, the possibilities make it all worthwhile. Also, you can't see the maximum HP levels in battle, only the current values, which makes healing into guesswork. It only takes 1000 EXP to go up a level, although your foes level up as you do. The sub-menus can only hold four items per page, making quick picks in battle an exercise in frustration.
Multiplayer levels have me thoroughly amazed. There are several new multiplayer arenas, and two classics from Goldeneye (the Complex and the Temple - each with a few new surprises). The new Arenas are incredbile, ranging from huge mazes that make The Classic Complex look not so complex; to smaller arenas for the fans of the Basement and Archives levels in Goldeneye. You also have the option of adding any number of computer-controlled players of several different skill levels to add to the challenge. The high tech weapons with all their new gadgetry make the game really fun to play in multiplayer mode.
The Game Boy color version is no different. It is a perfect translation of this timeless classic, so give it a whirl and fall in love all over again!
There's also no corny voice acting (which Resident Evil is also famous for) to get in the way. Combat is not going to be filled with shotgun blasts and blood spray (although there is a shotgun) because your character isn't designed to be Rambo.
8962 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 During the time when side scroller games were all the rage, both Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo had an unofficial flagship franchise that championed the genre. For Super Nintendo, the Final Fight series was the most recognized and loved side scroller beat 'em up games. For Sega Genesis though, The Streets of Rage series (also known as "Bare Knuckle" in Japan) was the top franchise. Strangely, even though the Final Fight games were fun in their own right, fans actually preferred the Streets of Rage series over Final Fight despite the fact that the Super Nintendo games were usually viewed as superior. The reason for this is due to the incredible fan-love shown for Streets of Rage 2, the game that many feel to be the best of the side scroller beat 'em up games.
8653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great; no issues. It reminded me of when I was a kid. Now our kids love play it. :)
3902 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had to write a follow-up review now that about 3 years has passed since my last one, and two sequels to this game have been published. Despite playing the newer games, I dusted off and fired up my old copy of Jedi Knight/Mystery of the Sith (JK/MOtS) and had a blast. The two are obviously dated, but don't suffer as much in comparison in terms of game play as the original "Dark Forces" (circa 1994) had in light of JK/MOtS. Like DF, all the games in the Jedi Knight series are first person shooters. JK/MOtS added the lightsaber and force powers with an enhanced game engine - besides better graphics and sound, it was now possible to combine moth horizontal and vertical head movements using the mouse (DF had separate buttons for vertical looking, which made the interface feel exceedingly clunky in comparison). Also, basic movements were more natural - you never had that feeling prevalent in DF that you were a golf cart instead of a person.
This is an awesome FPS game, one of the best I've played and I've played them all. Great story, and great graphics given the game's age. Better game then Half Life in my opinion.
7905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Little do people know that, while Quake was the first fully 3-D First-Person Shooter for the PC, the first one for the console was Turok Dinosaur Hunter. Like Quake, it was a game that was totally immersive, in which you felt like you were part of the action going on. You could look up or down, jump, and other things that you just couldn't do in FPS at the time. While Turok might not have turned heads quite as much as Quake did, for Nintendo 64 owners- this game deserved ever bit of the credit it deserved. I remember playing this game when it first came out and being totally in awe of the graphics and how deep this game was. It was like being on a huge jungle safari but, instead of lions and tigers, you had dinosaurs and other enemies you faced. Keep in mind, this is before Goldeneye, Perfect Dark or the Quake series itself came out on the N64. I really enjoyed the game myself and, eventually, bought it as well as the other three Turok games that followed to add to my collection. As I play so many games(course if you've seen my long list of reviews you'd know that), from time to time I get out my old systems and play all my old favorites to see how they stack up to games today. If I find that I didn't write a review on them at that time, I write one and give my feelings on it. Which is why I'm writing one on this game.
Vigilante 8
This game started my love for everything Myst related, and made me realize that I can play video games too. Until seeing this game, I thought that all video games required finger dexterity and quick reflexes, neither of which do I have.
4587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Vigilante 8 is good, but 2nd Offense is all that and much more than a bag of potato chips. Some of the new additions include the ability to score new chassis for your cars and wheel attachments that turn your car into a motorboat, a UFO, or a snowmobile. All the characters from the original are back (except 3), although they drive different cars and in most cases have different special weapons. Even Y the alien makes an appearance, this time disguised as a mysterious garbage man scavenging for parts to repair his damaged Luxo Saucer. Some of the new characters include a monkey disguised as an astronaut, a religious fanatic, a ninja, and a robotic cowboy. Every level is interactive to the core and you can rocket into space, cause nuclear explosions, compete in downhill sports and unleash a giant radioactive ant that goes on a rampage through Arizona.
1004 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I grew up with these games, So I was happy to find a Nintendo 64 at a thrift store and Im shopping online for the games. Mario Kart is a must have classic and my kids will have lots of fun. They are 8, 6 and 5 years.
9344 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For most fans of the Legend of Zelda series, there are two commonly disputed "best Zelda game ever" titles: A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. While I won't necessarily disagree with this, you almost have to look at the portable Zelda games in a different category. Many of them are, while officially licensed and every bit bonafide canon, not made purely by Nintendo's in-house development teams (for those who find this as news, most of the portable games have been developed by Capcom). This is, hands-down, the best portable Zelda game ever, and my own personal second favorite, with A Link to the Past coming first, and Ocarina of Time coming third.
6206 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 From the makers of the acclaimed SimCity comes SimTower. This game, although from an impressive company with a good reputation, doesn't live up to it's good name as well as it should. The view for the majority of the game is the same, just getting bigger, it's a cut-a-way of a hotel. The game is simple, build a 5-star hotel, but the work to get it there is far from simple. This game is challenging, time taking, somewhat addictive game. You build apartments in your building if you want a constant source of profit. Condos are built if you want a one-time payment. You build theaters, escalators, resaurants, offices, and more in this game. As your rating increases(2 star to 3 star...) so does the amount of items you have the ability to insert. The reason I gave this a four star instead of five is just beacuse I didn't find it incredibly addictive. It couldn't hold my attention long enough. Most of the time is spent waiting for your money to accumulate so that you can purchase new features. All-in-all I would reccommend this game, even with its downsides, just because it is a fun and simple game to learn and play. I think I might go play it right now.
one of the best games out there!
4105 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great. It has the same basis as Sim City only you control all aspects of an amusement park. You are given objectives for each level that you must complete in order to unlock more levels. Once you have completed all the levels, you gain the right to build your own amusement park with no restrictions. The best part of this game is the fact that you build the rides individually. You can create your version of the best roller coaster ever, and see if the guests like it as much as you do. This game does get repetitive after a while though, as every Sim City type game does.
Atmosphere: It is a very mature game - not for the little tikes. The game deals with violence, sex, and drugs most of the time, not to mention heartstring-pulling drama. If you're OK with that, prepare to be immersed in a tense crime action-drama that feels like a movie and (mature) comic book at the same time. I find myself almost biting my lip at times playing this game. The suspense will have you sweating bullets. The voice acting, especially Max's, is also great. Max has that great "seen more hatred and darkness than any man should" kind of sound in his voice, but has a comforting "tough guy" sound as well. The only thing I can really compare this game to, in terms of immersiveness, is Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation, only with a richer setting.
8689 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you combined Salvador Dali's mind with that of General Powell's, you'd probably come up with something like "Giants: Citizen Kabuto." Odd, strange and wierd all describe it. But likewise, so does fun, entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny at times.
3419 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This console once bought me great joy as a preteen, and will do so again as a 22 year old. I bought this for nostalgia but also feel that, despite its age, anyone can find something for it they will enjoy.
5714 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF8 has the unfortunate curse of being the next in line after FF7. That means it had a lot of hype to live up to. I suspect that's why some people will hate this game-- it just isn't FF7. However, even though this game isn't FF7, it's an extremely good RPG that stands on its own merits. It's one of my favorite games of all time (just as good as FF7, although my absolute favorite game is FF9). Well, let's jump right into the review!
You as Link and you have to save the world form evil form the evil king name Ganondori and his evil plan's before it's too late. And save a beautiful princess name Zelda. And you get to meet other characters in the game too some are cool some are big and some are small.
there is also a VR training mission part to the game. it is quite fun, especially if you have a very competitive relationship with a friend or family member that likes games. you can easily lose hours tryin to shave off a tenth of a second off your opponents time. my friend and i would spend entire days just playing the VR missions. after we couldn't beat each other anymore, we called it a tie. there is a "technical wizard" you can watch go through all the various stages to give you a better idea of how you can get the best possible time. but if you are anywhere near as good as my friend and i got at the stages, this techinical wizard will look extremely slow and stupid. man...those where the good old days. and the greatest thing is, you don't unlock a damn thing for beating any of the missions, just more variants of the same, like doing them with weapons, stealth, cardboard box...oh well, it's still a great distraction. and it's way better than the VR missions game that game out, but in that you get to be Gray Fox for a couple missions, which is amazing. cloaking and slicing people to ribbons, sign me up!
What a joy.
By the way the game works perfect on the first PS3s released 40gigs and 60s I have no idea about the newer cheaper PS3s.
Bored of the same ol' RTS? Get Homeworld. Just do it. Trust me.

5 STARS.

The brilliant idea of letting you create your own rides makes the game as limitless as your imagination. If you're a theme park nut, how can you resist trying to build your own Disneyland, and watching small visitors enjoy your masterpiece? You'll never create the same park twice because your imagination will send you in different directions each time.
Buy this if you're new to gaming.
3204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a huge fighting game fan, but I've never liked the button mashing variety of fighting games.
If you got broadband then i really recommend buy this game but even if you don't it is still good in single player.
Lasting Appeal B-
GAME MECHANICS -Screen resolutions up to 1024 x 768 x 32 -3D Accelerated -3D floating camera--zoom out to a bird's-eye-view, or get right down on the ground with your troops. -Classic John Williams soundtrack REMIXED with modern music, ie Heavy Rock.
4 Controller ports! *very many games allow up to 4 players*
Its very original. The game is frustrating without cheats but
The game is HUGE as well - I've put in at least 2 or 3 all day/night gaming sessions, but I'm just now getting to the big build-up towards the end. I highly recommend this game and it is definitely deserving of all the 40+ awards it has received since it's release in 98.
CASTLE EXPLORATION GAMEPLAY: No spoiler here, but most Castlevania games are about going into Count Dracula's castle and finding and destroying him and in process of doing so, encountering and finding a great number of vicious enemies, some really awesome monsterous bosses and awesome weapons and upgrades. Similar to other Castlevania games, this one also has A HUGE CASTLE where you, the son of dracula, can roam around structure to another doing everything stated above.
5565 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 all in all, this is a very good game. I like the variety of characters, each with his/her own characteristics. Gameplay is super easy though. For the price Amazon.com is selling it for though, go and buy it, you will not regret it.
I remember going through it, the levels were so very detailed, and very well done. You'd have to react fast, at times, and be smart.
4855 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As the original cable for the Dreamcast was a little short to reach across the living room for comfortable gaming. I ordered the Madness cable extension and it has worked like a charm. A simple plug into the console and one to the controller and I can now comfortably play literally anywhere in the living room. This cable works as advertised, is simple to connect and gives the gamer the latitude for extra distance from their monitor or television screen. As the original DC cables are a little on the short side, I would recommend to anyone looking for a little more distance between themselves and the output source.
- The graphics are better than the original. Unfortunately they do require a very powerful computer. I have a Pentium II 266MHz, with 128Mb RAM, a 16MB Viper V770 videocard and a Monster Sound MX300 soundcard - and I have to play the game with all the graphics options turned off.

8651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like many of the Super NES games, it has "Super" in the title and uses the standard color scheme of green, red, blue and yellow. That being said, it was an innovative game where you could use banana peels and turtle shells against your opponents. Successful updates came in the form of Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii, instead of rehashes, these future games expanded on the concept and had original tracks. But to see where it all began, you need to play this. If you do not own a Super Nintendo, download it on the Wii. Well worth it!
There are many other details into it but I won't spoil it for the new peoples to it.
Now I will list the goodies. Well, to start off, just look at it; if you notice, the graphics are crisp and insanely detailed. If that weren't good enough, the cinematics are also incredibly intense and clear, and they tell the story rather well. What's good about the cinematics however is that they are very well directed and carry the mood perfectly. The mood of this game is magnificant, it's like a blend of fear, anger and depression all at once. The music supports these emotions, which is esspecially good when they focus on a single emotion. Also, the sound is great, another advancement over the sounds of the previous entry. I loved the voice acting and the new clicking sounds to the guns, as opposed to the old popping sounds of gunplay. The gameplay is almost perfect as now you can auto-aim at the zombies, but not make it super-fake looking like it was in the original.
It didn't stop me from playing it again a year afterwards.
The enemies you encounter in Quake II are pretty smart. If they see you, they will keep shooting until you die. However, I found a trick you can do to fool the enemies. Walk up next to one, allow them time to see you, then quickly hide behind a crate or go back out into the previous room, or run into another room, turn around, and WAIT for them to run to you. They will most likely come to you, and this is the very best time to take them out. This is a trick I learned in Medal of Honor and I'm happy to find it also works in many situations here in Quake II.
You need to line up wave lengths A, B, and C so that when they pile up on top
5525 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This would have been an absolutely brilliant game if the difficulty level had been low and if the controls had been good. Otherwise it's a great game. The graphics are superb,the sound effects are done quite well. The FMV sequences in between the stages are stunning. The first stage isn't tough to beat ,but from thereon it becomes quite tough and frustating at times. The controls aren't that easy to master. But all in all still a welcome addition to the MK series.

If you liked this Game check out Mario Kart.
4048 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played the modification of Half Life, Counterstrike, and was amazed at the realism. I played it at my friends house and only thought of Half Life as a barrier between me and counter-strike, I played counterstrike for a couple nights, and sucked it up because I hadnt even tried Half-Life, so I thought Id just use Half Life as a trainer for Counterstrike, again not expecting much. I was sucked into the story line by the second chapter. My only complaint with the game is that it didn't rely much on me helping out the other scientists in sticky situations, but Half Life 2 is coming out and Im sure that that will make up for the badstuff. The game took me almost 30 hours of game play to beat on normal settings, and except for like 2 parts in it that i got frustrated, they were the most intense 29 hours of my life. (The two parts that weren't fun were in the trams, and killing the nihilith or whatever its called. Take my advice and buy this game right now, its only 17 dollars, id gladly pay twice that for just the single player, buy it for both counterstrike and the singleplayer though.
Surprisingly this game is not easy like I thought it would be. If you want a challenge try this out. This isn't a game you can just beat in one day, unless you spend all day playing it.

Fear Effect is Eidos' best creation so far, the only game that can compare visually is Final Fantasy 8. The gameplay like I said is a definite "breath of fresh air", a suspenseful, thrilling, unique game that will grab hold of you and never let go. Every second of Fear Effect must be savored, because the game doesn't last as long as current games do today. Give it a week or so and you'll be done. But still nothing should stop you from purchasing Fear Effect.
Although the game would have been interesting enough with just those weapons, the game is further varied by magic. Link can wield three types of hand magic, as well as three types of magic arrows. This adds another level of monster fighting, where Link tries to find the weakness so he can move in and dice them up.
With great graphics, a rich source material and so much potential. It makes me sad to not be able to like this game. This takes me back to Revenant, another game with a lot of potential but came up flacid. Maybe the patches will fix the problems, I certainly hope so. But much has to be done for the AI to make this game worthy.
For the final verdict, this is a system I would recommend avoiding. The prices are far too high for their own good, and the games aren't good enough to justify the prices. If it hadn't been for the huge disappointment all the games I had brought me, this would have a higher rating.
Yes, you know that you can easily patch any version, and that Half-Life's Counter-Strike modification has kept this game pulling more players than the top other games combined. The number of mod projects for this title are staggering, and Valve Software is making sure to get every last bit of performance out of this one until the "Next Big Thing," which sources have us believe will be quite soon, and quite big (and no, I wouldn't say it's CS 1.6...we're talking about something else). Are there any bad things about this game?
It was fun playing this game for a while but afterwards, it got boring. The lack of game modes, variety in the rings and the absence of trademark moves for the wrestlers just makes WWF Super Wrestlemania feel like a generic wrestling game without any of the things that mirrored the World Wrestling Federation at the time. If you're looking for a good SNES wrestling game, get Royal Rumble instead.
5998 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fans of Master of Magic or Heroes of Might and Magic will fill right at home with this game, since it is, at its core, the former made to look like the latter. While not at all original, then, this is still a truly enjoyable game. There are plenty of races and units to choose from, and the game looks considerably better than the games that influenced it. I thought the storyline was fairly original, and enjoyed the fact that it isn't completely linear (the choices you make affect which races you can control along the way).

In 2006,Pocket Monsters Diamond and Peral came out for the Nintendo DS. This was many fans first pokemon games. They were hits,and sold around 16 million copies. In 2008,Pocket Monsters Platuim came out,as a better installment. It was much more fun then D/P. In 2009,something new happened. Pocket Monsters Heart Gold and Soul Silver came out as remakes of Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver. They were hits,letting you have pokemon out of there pokeballs,like in Yellow. They were the remakes for the 10th anniversary of Pocket Monsters.

If only WWE was more innovative with their wrestling games today, instead of repeating the same formula every year, I wouldn't have to keep going back and pointing out WWF War Zone as the game where the downfall began. After 10 years, updating the graphics and adding just a few new options and wrestlers doesn't get the job done.
The game unfortunately goes a little too fast but it's still worth it. I'd pick this one up because if there were any really good combat racing games, this was one of the good ones.
Happy gaming
9492 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1991, Super Mario World was the pack in game when you bought the SNES and it was a great game. So to everyone's surprise, Nintendo announced it was making the sequel to it and in 1995 it was released on the SNES. Not only was it one of the best games for that console, it also was a sequel superior to the original and also very different. It sold very well and went on to be a solid entry in the Super Mario Bros series.
5652 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I really like the game but the person I bought it from doesn't test the games and now I have a game that I can't even start because the first disc doesn't read, please do not buy from this person because I paid good money for a paper weight!
KQ5 is the first one with a point-and-click interface, and suffers from the problem that it is easy to solve puzzles by just clicking inventory items at random instead of by thinking, (and many of the puzzles are obvious at any rate, especially when you find the right object) but the enjoyable storyline makes up for this. KQ6 (designed with the help of Gabriel Knight's Jane Jensen) is clearly the best story-wise, and has some challenging puzzles (save often to avoid frustration). KQ7, the first designed for release exclusively on cd-rom, has the best graphics of the series (even better than the 3D crap in #8) and includes a world straight out of a Tim Burton movie that is especially fun to explore, but is geared towards a younger audience (even then, I enjoyed the story and interesting puzzles with multiple solutions). Unlike Lucasfilm games, the characters in KQ can die and, if this happens, you have to restart from a saved game, but it is sometimes fun to see how many different ways they can die (for #7 it is the most entertaining part of the game).
7181 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fast shipping arrived in great condition just as described. Great classic game to add to my collection. Highly recommended. Thanks! A+ you need a expansion pak and a save cartidge.
7791 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Okay, so this game is more 'kiddie' than Mario Kart 64, but if you remember playing this as a kid back in the 90s, then you'll enjoy replaying this again just for nostalgia's sake. The game arrived at my house clean and in working condition. The game is very similar to MK64, but with a few twists; there's an 'Adventure Mode', where you race in different levels in hopes of collecting enough trophy balloons and keys so you can confront the main boss, 'Wizpig' who plots on taking over the island where your adventures take place. Another unique twist in Diddy Kong Racing, in comparison to MK64, is the option to choose between three different vehicles: the go-cart, the hovercraft (for races on water or snow), and my personal favorite, the airplane. There are unlockable characters such as 'Drumstick the Rooster' and 'TeeTee the Stopwatch'. The game can be challenging at times, especially when trying to obtain certain keys and trophies in single-player mode, but overall it's pretty easy when racing against friends or mini bosses. Again, this probably isn't the game you older gamers will enjoy as much, but for kids, this makes a perfect, family-friendly title for your N64 library.
In fact Mechcommander: Gold should be perfect for those people who don't want to waste time building up a strongly fortified base and just want to go doestory stuff.
650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 7 is the best FF I have yet to play. I have played 8 and 9 also, but 7 has the best music, battle system, and junctioning system of all of them (not to mention the greatest story-line in the history of everything!). Besides a couple of translation errors, this game is perfect. I was introduced to Final Fantasy 7, 3 years ago, and I still do not know many things about it. So if your looking for a long challenge ahead of you, but not a challenge so hard that it sucks the fun out of it, you should buy this game, and before they stop selling it.
Needless to say I was very disappointed when he came home empty handed. He usually got me a souvenir after returning home from travelling. Not this time. 9 months later I was surprised with an early birthday present. SNES console with Super Mario World. As I frantically raced to hook up the SNES to the TV all I could think about was playing the newest Super Mario Bros. game.
Third,there is less EXP to earn. Only 1000 is required,though for most enemies it comes in no more than 200 per enemy.
A CLEAN, QUICK COMBAT ENGINE: The combat system is flexible enough to generate some very interesting tactical situations, but clean enough to run pretty quickly. Given the lethality of the weapons involved, most fights end in less than five rounds, so every move is critical. It's a nice break from some of the thirty round slug fests that go on in games like Might and Magic 7.

Well you're given a choice between two characters to take you through the journey- the whip swinging John Morris or the axe swinging Eric Lecarde. At first I thought the axe was clunky and awkward but I warmed up to it after a few minutes. Still, I prefer the traditional whip so John Morris is my choice for favorite character of the two. So what makes Bloodlines so good? The atmosphere and the appropriately dark graphics/setting make this game skyrocket to new levels of awesomeness. Maybe it's unintentional that the gritty graphics enhance the experience much like it does for the original Silent Hill on the Playstation to name an example, but WOW am I really impressed with the level of creepiness and fear while playing this game! And it's all because the setting, graphics and atmosphere is spot-on. ALL Castlevania games are supposed to present this kind of creepy tone! Why don't they? Why is it that Bloodlines is honestly the only Castlevania that truly gives me the creeps? Well whether Konami intended Bloodlines to be so creepy or not doesn't change the fact it's effectively well done.

2761 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What's amazing about how great this game is...well, it's that it does not rely on insane graphics, large amounts of memory, lightning-quick processing speeds, or mind-blowing sound.

4465 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been a gamer for a long time, and I've played my share of strategy games. I still keep comming back to Starcraft for more. Three perfectly balanced and yet very different races battle it out. There's not too much micromanagement to kill you, but enough for you to feel a part of the race you're playing. I love to play the extra scenerios that they created for one time battles. You can modify them or even create your own from scratch. I just wish they had a random map maker. It would be easier then. You can, however, go online to Blizzard and download tons of scenerios that other gamers made. While the graphics aren't state of the art anymore they still are pretty nice. This game allows for both a strategic approach or the full rush type of battle. You have both land and air units and you harvest two types of materials (vespene gas & minerals) to build your structures and units. The campaigns are nice but after beating them twice I now just prefer to mix it up with the single scenerios. This is a must have of any strategy gamer who hasen't yet tried it. Brood War has some real nice upgrades that you will appreciate as well as the three new campaigns.
the sound if off the wall freakie.
9240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've loved this game since childhood
I won't get into the plot as figuring it out is half the fun (and you WILL have to do some figuring. I'm pretty sure a lot was lost in the translation from Japanese because the story can be hard to follow at times).
Then we have graphics and audio. The graphics are beautiful, the objects are solid so you don't get that annoying "soldier walking right through tree" effect. This game is not new so that's quite an achievement. The colors are bright, not dull or depressing. Audio, well could be better. The units' vocabulary is limited to gibberish like "Hamas" and "Hoyo". But I guess that's because they're prehistoric and don't have languages. AoE 2 fixes that problem with real phrases from over a dozen languages. Repetitive backround music plays continuously.
Value: 10/10 - With fun games like Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, you can't get enough. It's worth the money you pay for it because it's fabulously entertaining and will keep you glued to the screen for ages!
To save your game, you need to put an ink ribbon into a typewriter. Each ink ribbon you find actually holds two of them, so you can save your game twice when you find one of these. Most ink ribbons are found in the same room as the typewriter, but others can be hidden in rooms where no typewriter is found. You don't need to find ALL of them in order to beat the game, but it would certainly help you out in the long run if you store as many ink ribbons are you can. You never know when it might be a good time to save.
Pros:
7878 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember renting this game from blockbuster and I always had fun with it. Today, it still is a fun game for N64. But the controls are really werid. Not bad, but they are something that people have to get used to. Seeing dinosaurs in a game like this is awesome. Overall, it's not one of the best n64 games. But it does hold it's own as a fun game.
I will say I was extremely impressed with the games graphics scheme, its probably the only reason this game is getting a two from me.
BAD:
Metal Sonic and Hyper Shadow are playable in Shadow the Hedgehog, and I still don't know if you can play as them in this game.
It's pretty good. The graphics are good, the game play is smooth and you get to use pretty much every character that has been in the series up to UMK 3. The UMK 3 Combo system is used in this so if you're not up to speed on the UMK 3 combos, you might want to brush up a little first.
1732 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first RE game I ever played and it got me hooked on the RE series. After playing this I got all the other RE games ASAP !!! This is a great game, the graphics are good for a PS1 game, and I really liked the action, the puzzles, and the plot. This is an essential for anybody interested in RE and the whole zombie deal :) Buy this game and you will not be let down.
2318 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This title marks Sonic's first launch on more than one platform...three to be exact. Finally a Sonic title is available on, not only Game Cube, but PlayStation 2 and XBox as well. The Story: Dr. Eggman has devised a new plan to take over the world, a newly reincarnated, and upgrated, Metal Sonic. That's right, Sonic's old rival from Sonic CD is back and ready for all new mayhem. It will take more than one hero to foil Eggman this time, It'll take twelve. But when Metal Sonic gets enough power to change into the all mighty Metal Overlord, will Sonic and his friends be enough to stop him? Heroes features a uniqe team based gameplay which includes four teams of three including: Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles), Team Rose (Amy, Big and new comers Cream and Cheese), Team Chaotix (Vector, Espio and Charmy), and Team Dark (Shadow, Rouge and new comer E-123 OMEGA). To add to the fun, each team has their own themed challenge i.e. Rose is easy, Sonic is medium, Dark is Hard and Chaotix is mission based. Also each member has their own affiliation: speed, flight and power. The game will tell you where you will need to use each character's uniqe skills. Overall, it's a bit challenging for a Sonic title, but it's worth checking out.
Just goes to tell you first impressions ain't everything, eh?
Disregard all negative reviews about this game(they don't know what there talking about). Go out and get this game...and if you don't have a PS(Playstation) get one just for this game.
6376 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I would characterize this surprisingly playable game as the first person shooter (yes, meaning the UT, Q3 genre).
Except for the very first and last part, the game takes place onboard the RMS. Titanic. This was a great environment for me since I am especially interested in the inside of the Titanic. However, either way, it made an excellent place to set a spy/mystery adventure game, from the luxurious Grand Staircase, to the long, silent corridors of Scotland Road. The interiors of the ship are surprisingly accurate, despite a few errors, and Titanic buffs especially will enjoy visiting such places as the first class smoking room, Caf Parisien, reception room and even the ship's inner workings. There are a number of places at are non-accessible or locked, such as the palm court, the first class dining salon and much of the second and third class areas. However, there is still a large amount of space to navigate; in fact, you might even want to consider taking the tour so you can familiarize yourself with the ship before you play the game.
3785 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far the BEST darn game I have played. Great game play and some killer graphics that go way beyond anything you can find. The internet play is great and neraly lag free due to the optimized code. This game did the best job of going way beyond the first two games. The Material Defender just got upgraded, and it is worth every penny to buy this great game.
3375 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am basically buying and beating old playstation games I never got a chance to beat. I just finished this game today and it was pretty good. The controls are prettymuch identical to the early resident evil series and so is gameplay really. The story is pretty decent the only things I did not like about the game is it can become tedious running and back and fourth and some of the puzzles, not hard, are just kind of annoying. Good pickup if you can find it for under 10 bucks and looking to waste a saturday with a 6 pack. Game should take no more than 8 hours and thats really pushing it

4228 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm reviewing this game on behalf of my husband. I've played it and while I have enjoyed it, I'm not nearly as die-hard about it as he is. I'll take Diablo II, thank you very much.
even though the 64 era has ended if you are a die hard gamer from time to time you may want to go back this game is definitely worth playing again and again there's always something you would have miss that you can find the next time around.
1104 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda: OOT is centered around a massive, circular field called Hyrule. Around this field are pathways which lead off to various different locations such as dungeons, castles, villages, volcanoes, etc... Each path will lead to usually one destination like a castle, and once explored, you travel back across Hyrule field and visist another pathway which leads to a different location. This makes areas more accessible, and it makes backtracking as less tedius as possible, due to the fact that you're not endessly travelling through pre-explored ares. Backtracking is an important feature of OOT, due to the fact that when you progress through the game you aquire objects which give you the ability to explore areas more thoroughly ... bombs for instance blow up walls that hide secret paths. Hockshots give you the ability to ascend to higher ledges. The Ocarina of Time opens secret doors. Thus, pre explored areas which you thought were unimportant can in fact conceal the most important instruments and dungeons in the game. This is compounded, when at one point in the game you aquire the Master Sword. This is a special sword which, upon claiming, makes you and the world age by seven years, and by doing the reverse, putting the sword back in it's mold, makes you and the world 7 years younger. The good thing about this is that the past and future are profoundly different. The future is controlled by evil, whereas the past is controled by good. Needless to say, your mission in the game is to liberate peice by peice the future world from the evil Ganondolf. However, in order to do so you must travel back and forth in time creating situations which will have an impact on the future world.

5980 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Point, click, point, click, point, click. Need I say more? Incase you missed that it was point, click, repeat. THIS GAME SUCKS! I doubt the expansion will be any better. I guess if you are twelve and you get your rocks off by having super items and being able to kill anyone in the game then it's sorta fun, but where's the challenge? It took me ten minutes to master this game! I cannot say enough bad things about this waste of money.
Get this game....IT RULES!
4002 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this shakes so much, at times it seems hard to stay in control of your games. The design is smaller than what I expected, it has quite a kick, and the strength that it shakes at seems appropriate for what you hit. it provides that extra oomph that is not provided when you don't have a jump pak or tremor pak or that Mad Catz pak. It shakes the most when you cause rapid rumbles or when you are hit in a game. I would have given it 4 and a half stars, but that was not available, so I put it down to 4 stars. However, this is highly reccomended by me
The game is simple and fun to play, anyone can pick it up and whittle away 15 to 20 minutes while out and about. Super Mario Land is still a good game almost 26 years after it was invented. The graphics are old but the core gameplay is solid and does its job. I thought the ending was well done and the music was great. I would rate this 4 to 4 1/2 stars. Look how much gaming progressed when you compare this game to Super Mario Land 2 a few years later.
5992 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's funny how game developers strike on a theme or concept and consider it a gold mine. And like your average gold mine, it's used for a while, some times for years, but before anyone realizes it, it starts to run out. And so like many crazy miners, the game developers keep mining hoping to strike that gigantic hidden vein. Well, Blizzard hit the gold mine with original Diablo. I myself admit, that I stayed up for all hours of the night playing Diablo by myself, on my LAN, and on Blizzard.net. Shame to admit it, I played the game until I reached Hell, then replayed with different characters (Big whoop) and played again using the "evil" hackers tools (GASP!). So when Diablo II was announced, I eagerly awaited the release of the sequel. I announced my retirement from Diablo, ordered and got the Limited Edition of Diablo II and . . . was disappointed.
4086 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a awsome game!! Way better than hyper rails and other rollar coaster games! A must have! If you like designing and rollar coasters you will love this game and you will also love the expansion packs!
3024 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'll admit, the first time I ever played this game, I wasn't that into it. The main reason was that there, in my opinion, too many damn mini-games that were kinda hard (I STILL can't figure out how to get in line with the soldiers at the parade in I think Junon). Also, the music, while very emotional, is very very sad. So is the story... it got a little depressing to me.
149 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I loved the first Hawx PC game when it came out. Playing Hawx 2 got boring after several missions, is just a shame.
So I prepared myself for what was to come... my cousin begging me "please PLEASE let me borrow it! PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!!" I gave in and let him borrow it. He borrowed it for a couple weeks and beat the game before I hardly even had the chance to play it. But I'm glad he enjoyed it, because his enthusiasm over the game got me more excited to play it, when he returned it.
The somewhat creepy sounds and music, and the fact that it deals with the paranormal are the only reasons why I rate this game with two stars...
3068 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm old enough to remember when RPGs weren't called RPGs. In those days the essence of the game was to move the players about a game board, fighting battles, collecting treasure, and finding clues. Origin's Ultima series was the grandparent of these games - immensely entertaining, but essentially two-dimensional. Among its heirs were the first games in the Final Fantasy line.
By perfect (and I could go on forever here, since it took me forever without cheating whatsoever to achieve perfection) I mean EVERY ITEM, (Vagyrisk Claw, Earth Mallet, Fourth Bracelet, Behemoth Horn, or Umbrella anyone? Those are just a few of the rarest items int he game) ALL AVAILABLE MATERIAS (set up on all 8 characters with the perfect combination so you can go into any and all battles, press attack once or cast Knights of the Round once, put the controller down, and go take a leak while the game beats itself)

6296 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Planescape Torment is the ultimate role-playing game that uses the D&D system -- a great balance of combat, quest-fulfilling, and most of all, storytelling. I played the old Pool of Radiance game, Baldurs Gate, and Icewind Dale. Planescape: Torment is better than them all. But the game is not just a great D&D game. It is a great role-playing and adventure game. Every character trait matters. Higher intelligence gives you access to more dialog options. Higher wisdom allows you to accumulate memories and experience faster. It is very rare to find a game that puts this kind of value on intellectual traits.
Myst was groundbreaking for its time, and it started an incredible journey that would spark several sequels. It's an experience that is visually, musically, and intellectually stimulating, and though the game is a bit dated now, I still think it's worth playing if you enjoy a good challenge. As many have mentioned, the ending is somewhat anticlimactic, but at the same time it will most likely make you want to continue the adventure with Riven.
8354 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It really is a shame... This game was so close to being awesome, but, like just about every other Lucasfilm game (except Super Empire Strikes Back on SNES), it fails in its execution.

4541 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overview: It's a good thing Blue Stinger is a launch title, because had it been released later, closer to Capcom's Resident Evil: Code Veronica, it would have been drowned in the torrent of comparison. Developed by Climax Graphics (of Shining Force, Landstalker and Dark Savior fame), and published stateside by Activision, Blue Stinger, with its cliched portrayals and B-movie voice acting, is an adequate, if underwhelming entry into the ever-expanding genre of survival horror.

The only problem with the game is it's too easy to beat. This doesn't make the game any worse, it just makes it less fun. Fortunately, even long after you beat the game, you can go back through it and try to get a score of 100 on as levels many as you can. It's an extraordinary challenge that I have yet to complete, even after years and years.
The level's are longer and biger than before and any other tomb raider game that I play before. GOOD LUCK ON THE GAME YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT. HAVE FUN.
9513 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Battletoads series has always been one of the better ones, the problem is all of there games are always hard. It took me many an hours to finally beat these Battletoads games, but a great game whether you can beat the whole thing or not. definitely worth the price of admission.
If you like any of the Sim-games you will love RCT. If you are trying to decide between this and ThemePark, choose RCT. RCT has a more realistic feel, and better coaster design capabilities.
Some of the best Graphics scene on the PS1(yes it's extreamly out dated but I still love the graphics in this game as it was the best in it's time)
5499 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is so fun and funny. I got this game for my birthday a few weeks ago and i loved. It so funny with the one liners from dana gould. But I am warning you do not let people under the age of at least 8 to play because it has bad words in it. My game kept saying the D word over and over and over. I have a five year old brother and he heard the d word and he said over and over and over. I am warning you this game is really fun and funny but don't let little kids play it or even listen to it. But for sure this game is much better than Croc and Croc2.
Dixie Kong, introduced as Diddy Kong's young girlfriend in the last game is partnered with her toddler cousin Kiddy and the two set out into this mysterious new world to reclaim their friends. While I always prefer the introduction of a new main character, Kiddy Kong has the least interesting makeup of every Kong in the series. He is slower and seems heavier than Donkey Kong and just performs like an inferior version of the former hero. Still his presence marks a return to the physicality of the first game and Dixie Kong returns with her average speed and her hovering hair, ultimately being my favorite character. The Kong family also returns in full form from the second installment. Funky, Cranky, Wrinkly, and Swanky all have equal importance as they did in Diddy's Kong Quest. Wrinkly's Save Cave even has a very clever Easter egg, an N64 console with Super Mario 64 playing in the background. The animal buddies return with several changes to the repertoire. The biggest misfortune is that they replaced Rambi the rhino with Ellie the elephant who is slower and less powerful than her predecessor but has the ability to absorb objects with her trunk in effect. Enguarde the swordfish returns for the third time and can be ridden in partially submerged areas like the 2nd game. Squawks the parrot also makes a third return and this time with a purple twin who plays differently. There's another bird, parry, who isn't fully playable but flies parallel to the main characters and can help find hidden treasure, although he is extremely vulnerable. Nibbla is a piranha who acts friendly when he is fed properly but when he is unfed or feeds on urchins, he becomes an imminent threat. Squitter makes a return from DKC 2 as well.
7465 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first N64 game I ever owned. It was way ahead of its time. Still the best water sports game I've ever played, and one of the few I've ever even heard of. A game that is an absolute blast, and something that all people who still get out the n64 here and there should have. It definately brings back great memories and is still a blast.

6265 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If poetry found its way into videogames, the result would be Planescape: Torment, the game with as much text as an encyclopedia... er, maybe that's not the best turn-on to this game. There are a lot of reviews that would give away a few of the best moments to convey just how spectacular this game is, but I don't think even those spoilers could fill you in on how amazing this game is. If I had to put it succinctly, other forms of media such as movies and books and music have had the capacity to change lives for years; this is, in my opinion, the first game that has that power.
One thing I didn't mention yet is that the music is really awesome. It has orchestral themes and even opera themes and it fits the game very well. There were many different versions of this game. There was an updated version on PlayStation called Resident Evil 2: Dual Shock Edition which is the same as the regular game except it supports the PlayStations DualShock controllers analog stick and vibration function. The Extreme Battle Mode I mentioned is exclusive only to the Dual Shock Edition. Theres also a Rookie mode which gives the player a Machine Gun with infinite ammo at the start of the game, but you cant unlock the other mini games playing this difficulty even if you get an A ranking, you have to play Normal mode to unlock them. Another cool thing about the Dual Shock Version is you can use a cheat code to give yourself unlimited ammo. You just go to the control settings, hold R1 and press square repeatedly until the icon turns red. This version was later released on the PlayStation Store as a PS One Classic on the PlayStation 3.

Conclusion:
Still, it's a good game for those who are cerebral and don't have an itchy trigger finger.
8706 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic 1 is,in my opinion,the second best Sonic game ever. The best is Sonic 3. Others would say Sonic 2. Anyway,Sonic 1 was the start of a series that,in it's 90s era,was not only one of the biggest and best series of the platformer genre but of games as a whole. What made the Sonic series great was simple yet utterly imaginative. It was all about attitude but more importantly about speed. Far behind was Mario left in the dust as Sonic zoomed through exhilarating level after level of solid and creative design. Sonic was a needed entry into the gaming market as it ignited memorable competition between the major companies of the industry that could only benefit the consumer. SEGA started great new series after great new series while Nintendo greatly improved,if not perfected,some of their most popular franchises. With the immediate popularity of Sonic 1,SEGA got the necessary level of public recognition to altogether change the landscape of the video game industry with their more mature and more mainstream games. Sony took this mainstream too far,though. Regardless,if it weren't for SEGA it's hard to see Sony or even Microsoft entering the industry as soon as they did,if at all.
3254 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 WWF Attitude, although a good game don't get me twisted, was not worth it on the Playstation because of the incredible loading time. ... Seriously, if you picked Owen Hart, Gangrel, Road Dogg or even Kane or the Undertaker, you had to wait atleast 2 sometimes exceeds of 3-4 minutes just to get a match started. And if you picked a hardcore or cage match, sometimes, you had to wait even longer.

If you are looking for an action RPG that has longevity, without a deep story line and dialogue to bog you down, then this is your game. Those out there who are all about stats and equipment, and competitive gaming need look no further than "Diablo II". Blizzard is known for their excellent pedigree, and they don't disappoint. "Diablo II" improves upon the original in every aspect, and provides the most bang for your buck out of any classic RPG out there. Do yourself a favor and pick this up from a bargain bin. Putting it down again, now that's another story.
If you do not have the patience to spend hours building up a base for a single mission (fighting off raids at the same time), then you should NOT buy this game. However, if you do, this game will reward you with an awesome battle with the opposing side. The AI is awesome. The only fault is in the missions on the planet with the occasional "meteor showers" and the other planet with the "ice storms": occasionally the showers will awaken enemy units prematurely ("scripted" events), causing them to attack you when you can not survive such a powerful attack without becoming too weak. In this case, replay the mission from the beginning. It will probably play out differently then. When things get hectic, pause the game to give orders.
+ Creative worlds to explore
And when it says on the back of the game. "Seven humiliating stage fatalities that sends your opponent plummeting to there embarrassing death." That's you, your the opponent. The A.I. will make sure of that.
2354 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 thanks
On a final note, (yes, I'm positive, no more paragraphs.) some of you may wonder why I don't always include music and sound in my reviews. It is because I am a part of the deaf community (although, I myself am not deaf.) I am keenly aware that deaf people often really don't care about music in a game so therfor I tend to leave those out. In case you are wondering, the music in Diablo II is far better than that found in Diablo I. Much more moody and awe inspiring, it certainly sets the pace of the game.
I hate this game so much. I regret ever getting it. In fact, I couldn't play other LucasArts games that I love for 3 months until I got over the loathing toward that company. I wish I could give it negative stars. I have yet to meet somebody (flesh and blood) who likes the game. My only wish now is that I had burned the game slowly and watched the CD melt. This game is a case study in horrible design and horrible interface. I wish I could say that I learned something positive from the experience, so, well, nevermind.
While fatally flawed by its undisguised bias, the game, in its time, was excellent. The mixture of realistic weapon, sex, graphic violence, post apocalyptic storyline, and rpg elements make this an almost great game.
8766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tetris is a simple puzzle game for all age groups. The play control is excellent and the game is very easy to pickup and play. The object is simple just make as many solid lines out of the falling blocks as possible. A Tetris is basically when you clear 4 lines at once. You score points for single, double, triple and Quadruple lines. The Gameboy screen and NES Tetris games would only let you get 2 Tetris's at once before you reached the ceiling causing a game over.

3541 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Sega finally got it right with the Dreamcast despite the Nintendo knock off controllers. This was Sega's last effort in the console wars but we all know how that turned out. By Sega, makes so good games on Nintendo.
Gold------More advanced. Most level you need speed shoes.
This adds a huge sense of fun to the game, as well as keeping the Sonic concept fresh and exciting: hedgehog-runs-along-flat-plane is dull-dull-dull, but for the speed freaks the bonus levels are all about speed, and highly reminiscent of the Bonus Stages from Sonic 2. Similarly excellent is the presentation, as one would expect from a Sega game - there are a wealth of options to be unlocked, like new modes of play, the fabulous CG movies, different voices for the characters etc. - all of which makes for an excellent gaming experience.
2) You will die....A LOT....the game is not very easy on the "easy" setting either. The worst part is that you have to go through all the cutscenes again if you die during a boss encounter. Very, very annoying.
Use an incredibly large arsenal of weaponry and more weaponry...prepare to save the world, it's gonna be a rough ride.
I start at the edge of my continent and continuously raise terrain adding new area that I can plant colony pods on. Simple by today's standards, but I just can't stop playing it!!
Levels: 13 totally new and original multiplayer levels, along with three modified levels from Goldeneye which are now as fun as ever: Facility (now dubbed 'Felicity' for copyright reasons), Complex, and Temple (which now actually looks like a Temple). Not all of the new levels are great, but some are better for different settings then others, although some of them are pretty bad, the majority are good though.
My second topic is Japan's FFV. The only reason I gave FF Anthology 4 stars is due to the greatness of FFVI. This FFV game though... in a word... sucks. It's the worst FF game I have ever played. The enemies are too difficult. They give you too many character jobs. And finally, the game is just boring. The graphics aren't any better than USA's FFII if not worse. To me this game is like FF Tactics crossed with FFII. I don't own this game anymore due to the fact that I already have FFIII for the SNES console. If you don't have an SNES or can't get your hands on FFIII, then this game is a definite must just to play FFVI.

1980 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great n64 game played it when I was little kid one of the best n64 games ever made next to Mario 64 and 007 golden eye
In terms of gameplay, this game is similar to the Baldur's Gate series, although it does have a few enhancements to the engine such as the ability to queue up multiple actions. The combat here is not quite as tight as found in Baldur's Gate, but it gets the job done just fine. This game is more focused on dialogue than combat, so if you like a very combat heavy game then you might not like it quite as much. That said, it's pretty hard to imagine anyone who enjoys video games and a good story not enjoying this game. You should also not get the idea that this is just a point and click adventure game with no real combat. There is still plenty of combat, and you must do some heavy fighting to get through a number of sequences in the game.
On the "pro" side, this game has a remarkably easy-to-use interface, considering the complexity of the actions that are needed. The user interface, in my humble opinion, kills about half of the action games out there, because you always get killed in combat while you try to figure out which keys to push to defend yourself. This game is not like that at all. You can get used to the keys by the end of the first mission.
3. The spell system for this game is awesome,tons of spells, a bunch of schools of magic.
7536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first asked for this game, I thought it was going to be another average Mario game. To my surprise, it was the best one I've played in a long time! This game has many levels with lots of secrets and stuff. The levels may be hard but once you get to Bowser, (in my oponion) he is easier than the levels! Anyway, it's a good game and it is worth your money. Buy it. I have been playing this game ever since I got it and I beat Bowser with the help of my friend, Mike Brennan. Very addicting and worth your time!

At the begining it has some cheesey video of what happend to peach. It took me forever to beat it and as soon as i did i felt much better and it did not seem as much as a dumb game. The graphics r ur ordinary snes graphics and the sound is not as good as most snes games. I don't like it because its an RPG but the only reason i keep it is because it adds to the collection and my little cousin loves to play it.

*SFIII Double Impact & Third Strike- The gameplay is simply addictive despite the retro graphics. The backgrounds are static, but the sprites are fluidly animated. Third Strike was re-released on PS2 and Xbox, but Double Impact, which contains alternate backgrounds and cut-scenes from the first two SFIII incarnations, has yet to be re-released on any console.
Not only do you have every characters special moves is that almost everybody has their own level and music from their game. You can fight on a Pokemon Center, the Great Fox, Brinstar Depths, or in Dreamland to name a few levels. The only characters that don't have their own level or share one with another character are Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, and Luigi. It also has weapons from each characters game. The Bo-ombs, Ray Guns, Poke Balls, Hammers, and others. If you don't like items then you can turn them off which is another cool feature.
534 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 yeah the cpu is like completley retarded gulie does not counter with his flip kicks ryu doesnt ever do his shukoken uppercuts to counter but some of the characters can be pretty hard like T. Hawk but i just don't get the street fighter arcade - like feeling
Challenge Mode involves you choosing a superstar to play as and guide them to the World Championship. Unfortunately this was a boring and irritating mode to play. Once you play one match, you've played them all. You have to fight the same opponents at least 4 or 5 times before you advance to newer ones. As you progress through, you'll be met by a woman in a limo in the parking lot who will either show interest you for winning a match or insult you for losing a match. Oh yeah, that's another thing. If you lose 1 or 2 matches, you're automatically sent back to the beginning and have to start over from match 1 to go up. It ultimately screws you over and you're forced to play a lot of the same boring matches again.
All in all, I would give this game ten out of five. Seriously, it's great.

It'll come in handy. Again, it's one of the best games I've ever played!
1113 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is defently one of my top favorite games! I don't have it but i've rented it and it is cool. Your constantly under presure and near the end it feels like theres no where to go! In this game you shoot arrows,fight theifs,get a horse,venture in caves and much more challenges like deafeating the power hungry sorcerer Gannondorf! deffently 5 stars. Im planing on buying this game today.
Concept: A+
Overall, Sonic Adventure was a great game to introduce me to my Dreamcast. Go out and buy Sonic Adventure!
I recommend this game to anyone who still has an N64 and a video game store near by that sells old/used video games. This is definitely something to pick up. If you are just now discovering the wonderful world of DOOM, this game is for you.
The theory behind Final Fantasy VII is outstanding, yet simple: create a game with an untouchable story, tremendous characters, amazing design, mouth watering special effects and great musical accompaniment. It was the right game with the right pop culture appeal at the right moment. It accomplished every single one of its goals, and it's going to win "best video game ever" polls from now until the end of time because of it. What it won't win, though, is a perfect ten from yours truly. While I'd be more than happy to go so far as to say the story contained herein is the best of all the Final Fantasy games, I can't say the same for most of the other aspects of the game. The visuals and audibles are hampered by the PSone's own internal limitations, the characters are topped by those of FF8, and the mini games make me shake my head more than they entertain me. This is very, VERY close to perfection, but I've admittedly played a few titles that are better
Without wanting to ruin any details, much of the plot is great. Squall is a fun main character, mainly because he's such a withdrawn character that he rarely seems to desire to be the center of attention and the leader of everyone, even while he's clearly brilliant at it. I did find the romantic subplot to be a bit of a stretch at times, but it wasn't too terrible.
But what really chaps my ass are the non-platforming levels. This game tries to add some variety by including jetskiing, motorcycling, and flying levels. The control in the motorcycle levels is too tight and its hard to make sharp turns. The flying levels are extremely frustrating because the enemy fighters can drain half of your health in one go, and there are a limited number of health powerups.
Awesome gameplay and graphics, includes weapons such as:
9173 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Just as I remembered. This brings back soooo many memories of my youngest son who is now 27!We had so much fun playing this game!!
6134 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My original N64 was stolen from me, so I ended up having to buy a new one. And by "new" I meant just a replacement. The one I got arrived without any issues. Didn't come with the expansion pack but I bought one separately. The N64 had to have been the best system I ever remember playing. While it was the first foray into 3D gaming, all of the games seemed new and innovative, and the system had a pretty good longevity as well. When the Gamecube came out it was also exciting, though the N64 had all of what people would define as classics. Today, the existence of things like the Everdrive make it much easier to play games and homebrew titles without having to switch cartridges all the time, and serves as a more secure way to back up your save data too.
4219 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In a world that makes it hard to find a pure adventure game, (not an adventure/action combo game where I dread the boring action part and can't wait until it is over, plus what is the point, the big group of action people don't want adventure and many adventurists don't want action - they try to please all, and up end up pleasing few) let alone a fun one, this was a blast. The second in the series was the best.
But as wonderful as the game is, it can be INCREDIBLY hard, due to you being able to die within one hit. Like many Konami games (Contra, I'm looking at you), Animaniacs consists of extreme difficulty. Thankfully, there's a slot machine gimmick that helps out very much. You see, coins are scattered throughout the levels. When collecting them, the slot machine is activated. If there's 3 panels of a certain character (Skippy, Chicken Boo, Hello Nurse, etc), then you receive a continue (Only for one of the Warners, though). If the panels range from Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, respectively, then you get to bring them back (In case if you died as one or two of them)!
-First of all, THE ANIME CUTSCENES ARE PHENOMENAL. They not only have quality Japanese animation, but they also enhance the storytelling of the game. Sadly, this is the only X game you will ever see anime cutscenes in (unless you track down an EXTREMELY RARE copy of X3 for the PS or Saturn).
Really, the only turn-offs for me were a handful of instances where the translation was confusing and some weird instances of homosexual innuendo (honestly, that was more comical than detracting).
1262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 5 STARS BEST PS1 GAME EVER MADE
8404 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Kids liked it.
0 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a bit hard to get the hang of, but when you do it's great.
- Story
5597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A timeless classic! You either loved this game or you compared it to VII and you hated it! I love it for it's story and battles. This game was Harry Potter before Harry Potter was... well Harry Potter! I swear they ripped this story off and put their own spin on it. At any rate, this is an amazing game but try to get it on steam if you can.
Honestly didn't get this game for the lavender thing, if supposedly you get headaches and nose bleeds then go ahead and bring pain to yourself, I'm playing this game to see the difference between the american versions. The game is very similar, but it seems like they level up fast, and reading info about his game it seems like a lot of pokemon evolve faster.
8068 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A good QIII based game... you are able to use phaser weapons and have the star trek actors talk to you... you also are able to save voyager may times over. its a great game and deserves more acclaim than it got.
For those of you who do know of Gex, this sequel is as fun and great as the first, only in complete 3-D, not 2-D.
Pac-Man is that timeless classic we all know and love. Eat the dots, avoid ghosts, you know....all good stuff. Considering Pac-Man 2's price right now for a used copy, you could just buy this game right now just for the classic Pac-Man alone.
--There are a lot of random battles and they do get a little annoying after awhile.
Score - Fitting music, but over time the battle theme starts to get to you (you can always play on mute, though).
1942 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 bryanreo@sbcglobal.net And I say that Resident Evil 2 is perhaps one of the best resident evils for the PS1. The sheer horror of the initial run to the police station is just the beginning. Then you must fight your way through the zombie infested maze. This game will have you jumping when you hear a noise outside. This is the game to get if you want to be scared for a few weeks after beating it. It took me about 5 hours I think it was, perhaps 6 hours. But I like to make sure all the zombies are dead. This game is a must if you are a fan of RE-1
4610 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I went through my old Video games, weeding out those destined for trade in at Bookman's. I saw this one and remembered liking it, so I threw it back in and played it through. I forgot how much fun this game was and highly recommend a re-try to those FPS freak out there. I mean, you can get this game dirt cheap now, and it is a total blast!!!
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
4723 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Exploration. Gothic Theme. Power-Ups. Great Music. Perfect Pacing. lots of Items. Huge variety of Enemies. Secret Areas. Well made puzzles.
3459 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 when the system first launched i was a young high school kid delivering pizzas. i was also a huge sega fan and NEEDED the newest system big time. it was september 9th 1999
Controls: Don't start with me - they are slower than Molasses to make Supe perform his punches! Even the Multiplayer controls are near-unfinished!
2214 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still remember as a kid on my Birthday when my Dad bought me a N64 with a bunch of games including Donkey kong & a few months ago I bought the N64 from one of my old friends and a while after I bought Donkey kong and other games at a flea market but I had forgotten that to play Donkey Kong it required the Expansion Pak so I came here Bought it hoping that it would arrive and surely it did, all it came in was in one of those Orange envelope things & it wasn't even wrapped in anything when I opened it it was just right there but it's cool cause at least the inside was insulated with Bubble wrap, kept it safe & it looked Brand New. I'm just Happy now that I can play again one of the games I played when I was like around 8 years old and now I'm 19.
Even though the story is a little unoriginal, it still unfolds very nicely. The character delevopment is good, but nowhere near as good as Chrono Trigger or Xenogears. The battle system is turn - based (i hit you, you hit me) and the rune system is good, but it could have been carried out a little better.

Pros:
407 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My first Ace combat game was Electrosphere or number 3 in 98 so 12 years later i decided to give this one a go. It's a lot of fun, and after you configure your controls to how you like it becomes even better. Compared to 3, this one is a bit more fast paced, but the graphics are noticeably lower in quality.
Complete w/Big Box & Manual....thats a big nope. no manual no big box just the standard dvd case and i doubt the dvd was new.
Funfactor is very good.
But it IS a lot more fun and entertaining than Star Trek's been for at least fifteen years, and that ain't bad, either.
Story- 10/10
The movies never got better in the series until much later, but they did improve some.
- superb games: Soul Calibur, Virtua Tennis, Dead or Alive 2, NBA 2K1, Unreal Tournament, Quake III, Shenmue... the list goes on and on! And they WILL bring out more games (about 70) including Half Life and Sonic Adventure 2!
1721 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game at a video store recently, and they sell it for only $10.00, so I snatched it, thinking it was gonna be good. And then it was!
+ worlds are very diverse and have a lot of content
5403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i played this game alote when i was a child ..that why i bought it ...but the shipping came fast the game came in good condition came with disk ,booklet ,and original case ..not scratched came rapped and shipped thanks for good deals : )
My last hope: Please, please revive Tiny Tank for the Playstation 2!
3317 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I did not know 64 had a resident evil a friend of mines loan it to me oh boy!!!! this game was the first resident evil i ever played it was sweet and of course scary, there are flaws the controls ect.... but you just got to love this game it's real fun i think personally that this is the best resident evil everrr!!!! maybe it's the genre whatever you need to tell you self this game rocks, i now have code veronica and outbreak so i know what i am saying, be sure to get you doctor advise before playing it's not a game for the weak at heart laterzzzzz gamers yyeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh........
The Dreamcast has a 200MHz 128-bit RISC processor made by Hitachi. 360 MIPS. The bus width is over 800MB.
2048 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Who created this game and why? I get the concept and it's a really good one. Then why did I give it one star? This game is created for people who find Call of Duty and Halo so easy they get bored and refuse to play them. The mini-games must be beaten absolutely flawlessly or you don't get any points whatsoever. Sometimes you even lose points for not absolutely mastering the mini-game. If you're 99% perfect, sorry no points. The biggest flaw in this game is that it has to be four players. If you don't have four players then the computer will take over the rest. Be warned, the computer always wins every single mini game. There's a choice for computer skill...easy, normal, or hard...huh? What is hard skill? Does that mean the game is hard for the computer player or the computer player is hard for you to beat? No explanation whatsoever. But, it does not matter, Ive tried all three settings multiple times and it makes no difference in the computer's amazing flawless skill at mastering the game. The point of the game is to get 20 coins, by absolutely mastering the mini-games as flawlessly as inhumanly possible, then randomly landing on the space where Toad is selling stars for 20 coins. Watch out, there's also a space where, if they have 50 coins, other players can steal your star. They should call this game Star Stealers. The only real trick to the game is to be the one who lands on the star stealing spot the most times...and thus steal everyone else's stars. There's no friendly competition here...it's all about bing underhanded. If you don't have 50 coins to steal a star you can, for zero coins, steal coins from other players. this game always leads to everyone ganging up on the player who is doing the best. There's no skill involved to winning the game over all because it's all about who's lucky enough to land on the star stealing spot the most times. One turn your in first place and the next your in fourth, but when you're in fourth you're stuck. Whoever happens to have the most stars when the game ends wins the game no matter how poorly you played the game. Oh, and don't forget they the shortest version of the game takes 45 minutes minimum. The longest version takes 3+ hours. Ridiculous and frustrating to no end. Its a game that takes a minimal of an hour to lose. No thank you! You should try Chef's Luv Shack, it's based on the same concept but you can actually win the mini-games once in a while.
However, the version for the pc is one of the sorriest ports
4033 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A must-kill for dedicated fans of single-player "first person shooter". HL takes an utterly unoriginal idea for either games or movies and crafts an utterly unstoppable gaming experience. You play Gordon Freeman, who works in the bowels of an ultra-secret, underground research facility called "The Black Mesa". (Having played the game yet I'm still not sure what's supposed to be going on in BM - it's The Aftermath that matters.) Oozing high-tech, the facility is host to the denizens of another dimension when you/Freeman accidentally...do something that tears a whole in the fabric of our own - allowing beings from that other world to enter ours.
GRAPHICS: Grade of "A". Yes, they do look like they can be done on a Super Nintendo, but this game isn't TRYING to be graphically intense. Does Tetris need great graphics? Most certainly not, because it's a puzzle game. Likewise, FFT doesn't need good graphcis because it's a strategy game, where too much detail would possibly get in the way and be a distraction.
Basically if you want to play a better WCW game than vs The World for Playstation, buy Thunder, Nitro, Mayhem, or Backstage Assault. Nitro and Backstage Assault weren't all that good but any following WCW game is 1000x more fun to play than this abomination that is WCW vs The World
The level design ranges from mediocre to brilliant, in my opinion. Personal preference will dictate which levels you'll enjoy depending on your playing style; if you're a sniper or an explosives guy like me, the open areas are ideal. If you're the aggressive type who likes to get up-close and personal, the cramped areas will better suit you. I really don't like the industrial-style ones; they can be poorly laid out and hard to navigate. The best levels are large, labyrinthian temples that have numerous paths, powerups and secrets areas to duke it out in. Some feature exclusive items such as the ever-popular cerebral bore or a sentry turret that, if placed in the right area, can net you tons of effortless kills. Many areas have underwater segments that are a blast to fight enemies in and can be used strategically with certain weapons. Thankfully, there's a "Skip Map" option that selects a new level if you don't like the current one.
GK games did for mystery games what 'Command and Conquer' did for real-time strategies. Add the supernatural element and you got two great classics! The soundtrack CD that comes packaged is worth the price alone, as Robert Holmes composes some of the most beautifully eerie music.
6568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great transfers make for a fantastic collection of two of the best Final Fantasy Games. This is a must have for any collector.
The above situation is a real shame because when you get right down to it Cortex Strikes Back is a beautiful game. The level design and music are excellent as are the graphics which I feel even give Nintendo 64 games a run for their money. But every time the game turns a corner and those memories of the game's stubbornness start to fade something (again, there is always something) shows up and makes it take center stage once again. Compounding the situation is the fact there really isn't enough variety in the levels. Seriously, if I see another level with the words "Crash" or "Bear" in it I am going to scream and the same goes for the jet pack levels.
This is the only game I've played lately where you can carry everything you find - there don't seem to be any weight limits and there are millions of slots, especially once you have a few pouches which you really need to negotiate the huge inventory you end up with (I had about 10 full suits of armour at the end - I was too scared to sell any in case I needed their special properties). Even though the armourer and weapon smith promise bigger and better equipment, you actually find the best stuff during the quest, though you need to buy some stuff to start off with. Unlike many other games, except at the very beginning, I always had enough cash to buy any potions, etc. that I needed. In fact, at the (rather abrupt) end, I had about 60 unused potions of various sorts, and about $100,000. Also, your character is usually strong enough and well enough equipped to survive most encounters pretty easily. I found the fact that he wasn't constantly being killed quite refreshing. None of the puzzles were too taxing, though I had to redo one level for the want of one vial.
6043 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like the story behind Grand Theft Auto. It's a fun concept to play a game where you carjack and kill people. I sort of keeps you sane by letting you run over them cops in a game so you won't have to do it in real life. The controls are a little weird because they are based on which way you are facing instead of the screen. I got comfortable with the controls pretty fast though. I love the huge cities to explore, that's a def plus. I would recommend this game, you'll like it.
An example of the game's inadequacy runs thusly: I am cruising through the game easily until the $32,000. Fine, by now I'm expecting them to be tough. I use the 50-50, then the call a friend, who says she is 75% certain the answer is (A). Just to be sure, I use the audience poll as well. Guess what, 92% say that (A) is their choice. Well, now I'm convinced and go with (A) as well. I'm WRONG, it's (B). That is just stupid beyond measure. If they wanted to throw me off, make the audience rating more like 60-40% or something.
I'm going to simulate here the general structure RE3 (and RE2 and RE, although this is acceptable in the original game) follows: "So, how did these creatures end up here? let's search the whole place while we try to get out of here. Look out! (Lots of guns, blood and guts follow) Wow Jill, that was close! Hey, he was supposed to be our friend! He turns out to be a traitor! Hey look, a secret lab within the main place, (House, Police Station, City or any other place of your fancy) let's check it out! Oh no, this is the truth behind the monsters! We most stop Umbrella. Darn! This place is about to explode, let us get out of here! Look out, a big mean monster! (More guns, blood and guts follow) Yeah! We did it! Our heroes escape a few seconds before the whole place blows up. Fin" Wow, we have a new Resident Evil game here!
5328 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GTA 2 is one of the funnest PSX titles. The game takes place in a city that is about to collapse. Gang wars, riots, drugs, and crime are striking at the city's heart. Law and order are steadily declining and citizens fear for their lives.
9185 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game is like mortal kombat with faster gameplay and larger combos, plus you can do finishers that are sometimes quite funny
Overall, 1080 is probably the best snowboarding game around, without any doubt. Would be definitely worth buying.
- Not traditional fighting game in the sense that there is no real combos and supers, or even projectile moves
This game would probably come second to best FF next to FF7. Although the junction system can seem very complicated, that doesn't mean it is. It's actually very simple: you use magic to enhance your stats and resistence.......that's it!
6805 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still as much fun today as in the 90s
Son wated one also
The fact that whenever you enter another area of a town, the music stops(which SADX also fixes)
The game is addictive as well. I would play for hours and hours and wouldn't want to stop, and Super Mario 64 does not get tiresome after you beat it for the first time.
1086 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games I have ever played. Even shooting the arrows is fun, you can actually use your shield to block getting hit. Just incredible. The only bad thing I can possibly say is you almost have to buy the strategy guide or else you will likely get stuck on some levels. There are a few dungeons that I could not find my way out of without buying the guide. But overall great game!!
7436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blood Omen:Legacy Of Kain is an excellent video game in all aspects. A gripping storyline with many plot twists set in a very bleak,gothic enviroment. The voice acting in the game is superb and very convincing with an errie but very appealing music soundtrack. This game is also original by breaking the mold of playing the typical "good guy" in video games;though in all honesty Kain is not the evil monster that you might assume he is.
What may be a con-pro for this game?
Streets of Rage 1 featured 3 fighters named Axel, Blaze, and Adam. All 3 were virtually identical in fighting styles and the special move called for police back-up to shower your on-screen enemies with firepower, so it essentially made no difference as to which character you played as. Streets of Rage 2 decided to change this by having a unique assortment of characters to play as.
Cons: Graphics inferior to newer sims, bad aircraft graphics, bad selection of ground vehicles, unusable/way-to-hard-to-use mission builder.
When I tried playing this game on my slim PS2, everything worked...except the video, it was completely blacked out. When I tried it on my PlayStation 3, it worked, but all of the navigation and interaction icons were glitched. I've uploaded some pictures to the "Customer Images" section, so you can see what I mean.
5073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had this for about 3 months now and its probably about the 3rd best game i've ever seen. So far i've played atleast 200 hours and i still play atleast one game every night. Its first pro comes to the graphics. For u ppl out there with 300 mhz comps with no accelerator can still play. It may not look as pretty as it does on my dad 1000mhz with geforce card, but URT allows u to set the resalution anywhere to a normal 300x200 to a awesome 1600x800 direct 3d. It also has numerous other graphic settings so if u would rather see the backround more detailed then your gun you can, if u don't like a red cross for aiming you can change it, and you can also change speed, gore, and a bunch of other stuff. The next thing you can do is custimize the bots to your liking. If you want to lower there aim, straifing, camping, allertness, and there favorite weapon (my favorite is to set one bot on chainsaw and the others at sniper rifle and watching this pore guy get killed about 50 times.) You can also change how he looks and you can give him jumpy behavior (he jumps around the level like a moron.) Another feature is the tournament mode. You progress against different sets of bots working through the 4 game modes. About the game modes there is deathmatch, which is first to kill so many guys, then there is capture the flag which is... well capture the flag, in domination you and your team try to control as many points in the map as you can, and finally there is my favorite, assault where you have a set of objectives. One team defends while the other trys to complete the objectives in a given time limit. There is also last man standing which you have a certain number of lives and you try to be last eliminated, but this isn't really played much, and isn't in the tournament. Above all this there is a awesome stat tracking thing which has every game logged in and works like a web page with charts tables and other stuff. And last of all there is the internet mode. It may not be as good as battle.net for starcraft but it looked pretty good to me. My only complaint was how the games where based on an individual computers rather then a huge server, which means some 28k modem guy can decide to start a 16 player game and give cable players grief. Other then that if you can get a game with good lag internet play rocks. Overall get this game, and i gaurnetee you will have tons of fun.
Valve has made up for the (often) boring Half-Life, whose only pro was the custom game option (such as this one).
This is one of the most original games to ever come out for psx...This is also the first I game I played were you acctually run over people...
9577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Tactics, originally released in early 1998, went on to be one of Square's most critically acclaimed games of all time as well as becoming one of the mostly highly sought after Playstation titles until it was released as a greatest hits title. As the years go by, Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the few games where reception of the game has increased over the years rather than decrease. Despite having a reissue on the PSP, the original game is still a treat. However, both versions have their own cons. While many have reported that the PSP version has slowdown, the original Playstation release suffers from a mediocre translation of a fantastic story.

- The Andy Asteroids levels are unappealing in the color department in the Genesis version because all six or seven of these levels look EXACTLY the same. I'm referring to the numerous blue rings you fly through as you progress through these stages. In the Super NES version the colors of these rings change with each Andy Asteroids stage you visit. They're always blue and identical in the Genesis version which is deceptive because it makes you think all the Andy Asteroids stages are exactly the same but... they're not. They just LOOK the same.
128 Bits!
Its new features: Bullet time and the diving shooting are very cool.
Really, the game just gets boring and repetitive after awhile. There's not a lot to do except beat up thugs, and the 'loading' that takes place between each room kills the momentum and gameplay flow. A lack of continues or save feature keeps you from wanting to jump back in when you die. And beyond the graphics in the levels, presentation is downright bad with bland elevator music and a weird batcomputer display that tries to move the narrative along. Plus what kind of game do you have when the manual doesn't even list how to jump down between floors in a room??
By the time Zelda: OOT was released the difficulty in games was just perfect. Your heart was racing when you met a worthy adversary, you were fustrated when you died, you were delighted when you succeeded. Fustration and anger are both necessary in games because it's those feelings which make you truly delighted when you succeed... Unfortunetly, since OOT, games have become so easy that a huge part of the joy in completeting them isn't there anymore.
Anyway, the gameplay is pretty basic on here. Hack and slash, occasionally use a special move and cut your opponent in 2. Like a lot of the fighting games of its time and now, it's replay value is somewhat low depending on how into the series you are.
(2) great graphics; great noises; all the weapons and noises of dying people, if that's your thing, are fairly believable. You can even click BLOODY MESS as a perk to see some really gruesome visuals.
If you like First Person Shooters/action games at all, you simply must try this.
5234 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is probably one of the best PlayStation One games there is. This has the best storyline of all, again the characters are cool,the music is okay, and the action kind of blows. What I mean is that unlike MGS2, you can't switch to first-person mode and use your gun, and Revolver Ocelot is kind of lame to fight ( chasing someone in circles is not my idea of an exciting gunfight.) and you can't zoom in or out when using the sniper rifle, also can't use it while standing. Still, it is a good game, but the sequel is better. Not a bad game,but could have been improved.
625 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I used to love this game; but now it's dated and now that I look back on it, it's not as fun now, either way, here's my review.
Star Wars Rouge Squadron
The story is about Harry Mason, an average Joe, coming to the resort town: Silent Hill, with his daughter. What he doesn't realize is that at that very time, the forces of darkness are struggling, almost fighting one another. As a result, there are many dead people around, and the town itself is now pulsating with evil. Sometimes he'll leave a building, where the time of day, or the design of the town will change within seconds, right before his eyes. However, after each boss battle, all the super-levels of darkness will subside, and the daytime will come about again, where the danger is much more scarce; it's kind-of like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (a true classic), where there are times of light evil, and times of overwhelming evil. However, unlike Simon's Quest, you cannot just wait it out.
Fun factor: One thing Nova Logic has been able to do that nearly no other game manufacturer has ever been able to do on a consistent basis is FUN FACTOR. They have always provided a well-balanced game in terms of simulation complexity vs fun factor. You do not want a sim so realistic that you spend all your time getting shot down because you're fighting controls that are way too complex. You also don't want to feel like you're playing a little kiddie game that has no realism at all. Comanche series has always been the perfect balance of realism, complexity and fun factor. You get to fly a realistic chopper and blow a whole bunch of stuff apart, and with as much or as little complexity as you want. There are reviews in here that say the game is both too hard and too easy. I rest my case.
1. All the games
this is the biggest game crammed into a cartridge ive seen, its musically awesome, graphically it shows age, and the camera isn't as good as it could be, but I still haven't beaten it since then! thats how massive & how much gameplay there is to it!
The games story takes place immediately after the events of the second game in which the ruins of the Cortex Vortex come crashing down to Earth and lands on a temple unleashing an evil entity known as Uka Uka who is Aku Akus evil twin brother; Aku Aku is the mask that helped Crash out in the first two games. Uka Uka joins with Doctor Neo Cortex and Doctor Nefarious Tropy as they plan to gather Crystals in their original places in time and use their energy to enslave the Earth.
9261 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can hate me or love me for saying that I think that this was the best action RPG for the SNES. All of the little annoyances in Secret of Mana seemed to be fixed in this game.
Overall, this is a neat hack 'n slash that has been a Sega arcade hit for a while.
7454 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game was okay not one of the best fighting games i've played but it was okay. the characters are hard to controll and it's hard to make them do thier specail moves. but it's okay for a try i wouldn't buy it.
While there are many new games out, especially in the wake of the XBOX 360 and PSP releases, I still encourage you to give this masterpiece a try. You won't be disappointed.

I am currently working on the software component of the CF-18 of the Canadian Air Force. And a lot of what I saw in this game matches the real thing.
8180 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 works great!
7971 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a great game to end the donkey kong trilogy on the snes. I am a bigger fan of the first two games but as a collector of NES and SNES products this game is a must have. good condition works perfectly. A+

Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2
The different areas of the planet are beautifully designed, too. I especially think Norfair, even though it's creepy and covered in fire, is a cool looking area featuring some of the scariest looking monsters and the sweetest background graphics in the game. Maridia, the underwater stage, is another very nice looking place filled with fish and other creatures, some of which live in the sand. I'm a little disappointed Tourian has only 15 Metroids for you to freeze and destroy, which is unlike the original Metroid where you had to face 30 of them or so.

Not many people know about this game for some reason but now that you know. It's worth the time and money to play this classic 3rd person hack and slash classic game.
Bottomline, where this title is not as stong as the Tekken Series, it is still a very fun fighter for the Playstation! Its excellent graphics, sound and gameplay will have you coming back for more and more. This one is well worth a purchase!

6459 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played many/most of the MOH games but never this first one until I recently bought it. The sounds of the guns in this game are awesome and the feeling of the rumble of the PS1 dualshock once again was nostalgic. The targeting system/zoom of this game was very different than other MOH games, but it didn't take me long to adjust. Despite looking visually dated, this game was still enjoyable to play.

2925 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic classic, love it!
The sound is spectacular. The occasional background tunes and ambient sound are well done, and the rock music that appears in the music videos by your friends is amazing (and also included in audio CD format on the second disc!). I found myself watching the videos several times just for the music, and actually repeatedly listening to the soundtrack CD portion of the 2nd disc when not playing the game.
5037 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love this game.
2806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really loved Riven. After playing Myst, I was so excited to get my hands on Riven. The graphics were just as beautiful as Myst. In fact, in Riven, I got a little jumpy at times. There are parts of the game where you know you aren't alone. The story line was fantastic and the puzzles also. Adventure gamers, you have got to own this one. Infact...own them both. You won't regret it.
1764 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great. It has so many improvements as opposed to the first game. In this game you can high jump, crawl, slide, ride on a jetboat, and fly with a jetpack! It's a huge adventure starring... the Bandicoot! The main challenge of the game is to get 100 percent by collecting gems and crystals. The level isn't officially complete until you get the crystal. Oh, and you are gonna need a memory card because this game is fairly big. Unless you're a really hardcore game, then you won't need it, but... it's recommended. In conclusion, this is a fantastic game, and if you love this, make sure you get Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped!

7610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Usually give detailed review but it's MARIO!!!
I have a lot of fun with these arcade style wrestling games, so realism doesn't matter to me at all. I will take this game over any and all of the best-looking WWE wrestling games that are so popular today. I prefer wrestling games that are FAST, and that's what In Your House is all about. It's fast, exciting, unique and with practice, not very difficult to complete. Who cares about graphics?
8217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game will keep you on your toes very happy with how well this game was taken care of
Fun factor is what makes this game so great is that there are so many diverse challenges in levels and ways of getting around such as snowboarding,flying via the Rush Jet and even swinging on vines in a jungle so many robots to destroy so little time also there are added challenges like finding 40 bolts that Roll (once again for you noobs Megaman's sister) will make upgrades for Megaman with and its not as hard as some other Megaman installments so if you're rusty on the series or new to it this would be a good place to start basic Megaman formula still is around if you beat a boss you obtain his power example: if you beat Clownman you get his power the Thunder Claw even though I have beaten the game several times I still find myself playing it
1592 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I get it, it was one of the first games from PS1 but sincerely, this game is horrible. Looking back on it, the gameplay is stale, the graphics look okay, the action and moves are lame. Miracle is that this game didn't get bashed as it could have been.
There is *so* much to do in Yoshi's Island, whether it's collecting flowers, stars and red coins in an attempt to aim for a perfect score, or the mini games flooded through each of the six massive worlds (such as roulette, card match and slot machines to name a few) this is, without a doubt, the most exciting Mario game ever.
1180 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half Life Revolutionized PC gaming. It is one of the greatest IF not The best pc game ever made. It has bin said that from almost every Pc Mag or Game mag. I was a few to own this masterpiece when it first hit stores and all I can say is...wow
I haven't played all the modes yet, but I'm sure I will soon.
- Terrific story
703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game that ushered Link into the 3D world. A must play.
Bw adds to the mix with 6 new units, (Valkyries, Medics [Terran], Devourer's and Lurker's [Zerg], as well as Dark Archon's and Corsair's [Protoss]). On top of that, the Protoss can now access Dark Templar's (though their stats aren't really worth the price and tech) and both Zerg and Terran have new upgrades. BW also includes three new tilesets and three new critters (YAY!)
The ugly
3540 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i can still remember the day i had one of these bad boys. this system, i believe, was the start of those shiny 3-d graphics that is in the new systems of today. the system came out i think in 98 or 99 and is still a good system to own. my pops bought it for me brand new from, at that time, funcoland. (yeah, you remember that video game store that used to rip people off, now replaced by gamestop. you probably still remember the song too)
Each character has a unique fighting style, and these styles keep getting inherited on every sequel, most noticeable Paul, Jack, Yoshimitsu and Law. The Playstation version actually expands the arcade version, adding ending movies and extra characters. There is an arcade version in Tekken 5 as part of the bonus arcade history games, Tekken 2 and 3 are also included.
Duke Nukem Zero Hour
As I mentioned before, there are a number of side quests throughout the game. They're not essential to finish the game, but they are a lot of fun, and some of them will get you prizes that will make the later stages of the game a little easier. One word of advice - when you reach Lake Hylia, be sure and talk to the two scarecrows! Later in the game, you will be glad you did. Also, be wary of purchasing too many items in the various shops and bazaars. They have many useful items, but they are also VERY expensive, and almost everything in there can be found for free in various nooks and crannies in the game. Also, be wary of Gorons who want to sell you a Giant Sword. Don't say I didn't warn you...
I will never forget the first time I saw the impressive 3-D graphical capabilities of the Dreamcast while watching the game Soul Calibur being played. I remember the stunningly life like visuals in the state of the art sports game NFL2k. But one of the most memorable moments I ever had was the first time I played NFL2k1 and later NFL2k2 online using the Dreamcast with its built in 56k modem. I had the Dreamcast keyboard plugged in along with the regular game controller and I remember the excitement and awe that we all expressed while we text chatting back and forth with each other between matches. The game play over the 56k modem was not perfect but overall it was amazingly good. It was the first time that the world experienced any kind of real online console gaming of this type. I knew right then that this online experience eventually would become the future of video gaming.
5987 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this game at my neighboors house. The day that I played it, I knew that it was a must buy. Even without the internet, it was tons of fun, and when I got the net, it was even funner. However D2 has some flaws. If you don't have enough ram, it is quite possible that you can die because of time used while the computer thinks. Battle.net on this game is great. Blizzerd made it so there is almost no lag at all when you play. You need to buy this game!
you have increased my collection of games by one
4674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My husband really enjoys this game and is master of the virtual board! :D We all get our butts kicked but its a lot of fun. The disc arrived in good condition and there has been no problems with it. Thanks! :)
4784 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 i don't know why others rate this so highly - the graphics are OK, i love the fact that you can play with friends (although in the end are different schedules ruined this) and i like importing my own pictures. But the controls for this game are absolutely frustrating!
Even though this is equipped with a 12x CD player, it's still slower than a cartridge system like the N64. On the up-side, CDs are cheaper than cartridges, and can hold a lot more information on them, leading to more involved games.
Well, the PC version was the only DN game I'd ever played until it's N64 version, so when I saw that the N64 version had another version that people where praising higher then the first, well, it's only natural to investigate. There has been a lot of times people have said they love the sequel better then the original and I have been extremely disappointed. Like Perfect Dark, I love Golden Eye and so many people said Perfect Dark was better, I didn't think so, I thought it had improved graphics and sound but the game wasn't as fun IMO, I still prefer Golden Eye over PD any day.
934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 they should of have the rumble feature
This sim is the most configurable racing sim ever.
This game may appear slightly dated over the years, but it is still a fun game to play today. Let us also not forget that this game was widely considered to be one of the top (if not THE top) Super Nintendo game to ever be released. Oh, and yes, in the end you get the Tiforce.
The battle system is great, I love "drawing" magic from your foes and stockpiling it like crazy. The GF and Junction system takes several hours to get used to, and you probably won't fully understand it until you're halfway through the game and adding critical attributes to your characters' stats.
The bosses are surprisingly VERY HARD! Unless you go onto YouTube or something to see how people beat the bosses, chances are, you'll be wasting a good amount of lives. But let me tell you this: King Galaxian is THE BEST BOSS LEVEL EVER! It changes the whole gameplay, letting you control a spaceship instead (a la Galaxian and Galaga) and shoot rows of alien ships! And then comes the boss itself, which still throws bad guys at ya, but also tries to suck your ship toward it (Galaga). Throughout all that, the music and even just the concept of the level makes up for what may possibly be a little frustrating boss fight.
This was my only game that I own for my playstation. That the time I did't know if I sould play it or leave it alone will I play it and you know what, I like it for once a woman is doing the thing and I said it's about time, do you know what I mean??
The graphics were great. Word on the street says that voiceovers were poor.
As for the graphics, sound, and music, they are all nearly identical, so read my comments on them in my RE2 review to get the synopsis. Same with the music, although I will comment on the effectiveness of the music when the Nemesis arrives. It's quite scary when you leave the room that the Nemesis inhabits and then slow eerie music starts playing. You know that the Nemesis is nearby and will attack you at any time. This aspect was done very well.
I also have a problem with the INCREDIBLE amount of puzzles you come across. I am not kidding, there's over 25 puzzles in this game. Some of them are just a matter of typing in the correct series of numbers, or the correct words to access the next area. Some of the puzzles are more along the lines of finding the right way to complete them, such as the puzzle where you're pushing these Up, Down, Left and Right buttons to figure out how to sucessfully lift up and put down boxes using a giant crane. These are extremely hard puzzles to figure out by yourself unless you have a walkthrough. Once you figure them out, the sequence is exactly the same the next time you play the game, though. They're not random like in Resident Evil 3.
The graphics are great, and the game stood head and shoulders above everything else on the Gameboy when it came out. With that being said, I don't recommend this game for anyone under a teen, because its too difficult. To anyone else, play this classic, it started a whole new franchise.
4214 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is nothing I can say about Starcraft, and it's award-winning expansion Brood Wars, that hasn't already been said a million times over. Starcraft is to Real-Time-Strategy games what Boeing is to 747 airplanes; Neither invented the particular item they are known for (Starcraft - RTS PC game, Boeing - Commercial Airliner), but they both created the perfect specimen in its category, one that could very well stand the test of time.
The game is also *very* heavy on searching for the correct key cards to gain access to the next part of the game, which can be annoying. Simply put, the game is dominated with puzzles and key cards, which are always required to access the next area. A bit much, to say the least.
The basic outline of the game is that you race the USA from California to Washington DC. Each level gets harder as you pass along but not to worry. Once you get the hang of the game you will beat the level after a few tries. Each time you complete the whole entire racee (California to D.C.) you will earn a faster car.
Ready 2 Rumble
This game works well on all PCs from a Pentium 90 and up, so if your machine is older, no worries.
I'd get this one because I personally think that this is NBA JAM at it's best. Very fun and also very cool to play with friends. Especially if you and a friend are good enough to pull off the triple alley oop pass for Team Fire. Again, check it out!
Bots?..yes
My most favorite was Raven. The game is dramatic to the max.
The areas in this game are big, good looking, and fun to work your way through. Your usual RPG stuff is here. Caves, Villages, Castles, etc. They offer up a good challenge, too, which you can't say about a lot of RPG's out there. It's not impossible by any means, but it's not easy either. Good challenge. The world you travel through is well designed, and pretty big. As a whole, you won't find a bad or boring level in this game. It's an expansive RPG world, with many fun challenges along the way.
This is a fight feast galore. With rping stats. Many attributes to level up(arm,legs,etc). In fact every move you use will level up and be stronger.
It can make you laugh, cry, or piss your pants. Listen to naysayers if you please, but listen to me more! You cannot go wrong with Metal Gear Solid, unless you aren't an action gamer. It has lots of cinematics, old school graphics, and some cheesy dialouge...but those faults don't overshadow the amazing characters, storyline, and gameplay. The game is super cheap used now...so go buy it. Thank you for reading this also.
427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ive been wanting this game for forever, the story line, battle modes, and game play are amazing for me. it is almost like pokemon and final fantasy mixed together (as far as the graphics go) just a great game, great music and character designs.
3509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you envy Resident Evil: Code Veronica envy? Don't worry about it, although the Dreamcast has Resident Evil: Code Veronica with it's flashy graphics and all, the game isn't due for quite some time I think. Although the PSX may not have DC's graphical capabilities they are still not bad, considering the DC is 128 bit, and the PS is only 32 bit. RE3 has some of the best looking graphics the PSX has ever rendered. The FMVs are perfectly compressed and they look better than those found in Final Fantasy 8. The game still uses pre-rendered backgrounds like all the other Resident Evils as if it was a ritual. The character detail is fantastically smooth and the main character Jill is very nicely detailed. She is complete with some of the finest looking skin touch ups any RE game has had. As for the frame rate, it always stays perfect and doesn't drop at all.
2270 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite accesoory. It will make the graphics of dsome games better and all this other cool stuff. FFor some games you need it no matter what like Donkey Kong 64.
It also includes a Half-Life HD package which uppon installing
It is fun, and never gets old.
For how much ever I've played of it the game is simply superb. It reminded me a lot of previously played games like Diablo and one of my very first short time adventure game Dink Smallwood by RT Soft.
6215 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blade Runner is very appealing to me. I have played the game through at least thirty times. One thing I love about the game is the sound of rain falling down. The voice acting is very impressive, and the game has a great script. I actully found the plot of the game more appealing than that of the movies.
hould you buy it?:Yep

9087 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Back in 1993 Sega released a dull, lackluster video game of one of the biggest films of all time. Quickly realizing their mistake they hashed out a different version of the game, claiming it would be bigger, tougher and better.
Every character you love from the Mario universe.
5294 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you are familiar with the Harvest Moon series, or even if you are not and you enjoy RPG/Simulation games, this game is a good addition to your collection. In Harvest Moon 64, you play as a guy who gets to run a farm and have a personal life.
5342 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you ! Great Game!
7397 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lately I've been grabbing old N64 games to play on residence - my brother and sister wanted the Gamecube at home, so I began hunting through video game stores for any N64 gems worth filling out my collection with. I'd avoided KI Gold on its initial release because it got mixed reviews and was horribly expensive (remember those first gen N64 games? Exactly.), but since I owned every other Rareware game, I decided to grab it. After grinding the controllers to a bloody pulp in all-out tournaments with my roommates, I'm left wondering why Rare never followed with a KI3.
Graphics have improved and will continue to, as will path finding, CPU grunt and everything else that should make games better. But Baldur's Gate is still the most authentic and playable RPG experience. It doesn't hold your hand, it doesn't force you down a path - it just let's you genuinely role play at whatever level of complexity you like - and whichever level you choose, it rewards you.
However, it is an extremely good time. Truly, the characters will become your friends. They are very well developed, each with distinct personalities and drive. This development isn't without a good complementary story, Wild Arms (though cliched, what isn't?) presents a very pleasant story.
( at least it's not nearly as bad as DK64 )
As I mentioned before, the magic in this game is a little tougher than the previous games, but it doesnt take away from the fun of it. This game is definately fun and exciting, with a wide cast of characters, all with a wonderful list of weapons and attributes, it will definately prove to be a fun gaming experience.
4) Endless fun from online maps.
- You have infinite ink ribbons.
8486 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the very first Mario Kart game, and it is great! You pick from two singleplayer modes- Mariokart GP and time trial. In Grand Prix, you race 5 tracks and try to get the most points. You are awarded points for placing in the top 4 of a race. In time trial, you race solo without computers to try to get your best time.
The monuments are another thing I like. You can't just meet the basic requirements; sometimes you have to build a monument as well, which takes time, supplies, and a lot of labor. It takes time to put a monument together, which is nice and annoying, if you need the time to finish up your city it's not a big deal, but if you've met all the other requirements in the scenario, the monument building can take a while.
Final Judgment:
7767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This changed everything, the look, the feel, and how we lived in hyrule. The puzzles were tricky and the choice between keeping the shovel or digging up the ocarina (which spawned its own game) was a nail biter. Can you find all the jars without help? Was there a point in being able to cut all the curtains in the castle... no but you can so there is the point. I'm not much for the small screen link games (gb-3ds) but the large screen ones are the bee's knees. The point is if you want to know how Ocarina of time and Majora's mask came about then here is the start of that, while the nes had great zelda games they did not put hyrule on the map as this one did. I can not say it is worth $500 but then again I still have mine from the year it came out if I did not..... I really do not want to think about it.
7032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fun game with great single and multiplayer modes. It's incredible how much Rare managed to jam onto a single cartridge. There are so many options for programming multiplayer games it's mind blowing. The only drawback I found was occasional slow down and choppiness in certain parts of the single player campaign. It's not really enough to make it unplayable but is certainly noticeable. All in all a great game.
344 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This isn't a particularly deep product. They are wire extenders to be used for the Nintendo Gamecube controllers. They come in a pack of two which is fantastic for the cheap price. They extend approximately 6 feet in length, and with the already fairly long wire on the Gamecube controller already, these come in handy if you need to sit somewhat far away in a regular sized room. I have had no trouble with these at all as they function properly and connection just as easily to any controller. Getting these beats paying the higher price for the Wavebird wireless Gamecube controllers. I'm on a budget so I'll just stick with a wired controller, no big deal.
The amount of items you can gather and collect in this game is staggering too. There are numerous swords and spells to pick up and just about every weapon has its own special abilities which adds a lot to this game. Because of that no weapon seems the same.
In mario grand prix you choose from a wide selection of characters wich one you want to be. You Can pick from four different cups,each with four different race tracks. Then it's time to race as you play against the 7 other characters. Up to 4 people can play mario grand prix.
I've rewritten this paragraph four times already. There is no way to express my dislike for this game. Simply put, players will get separated into two groups. Those with the skills to pummel anyone who comes into the arena, and those who get pummeled. Unfortunately, the "Pummelers" are few and far between. Most of the "pummeled" will be amateurs, they'll buy the game, play through a few deaths and erase the game from their hard drive. My LAN mysteriously "empties" out when I offer up a game of Q3. id blew it with this one. Poorly thought out, this game serves only the elite few with the grit, skill, determination, and fast connection to play this game. Lets hope that id gets a brainstorm and comes up with an actual story line for the next game instead of taking the easy way out like they did with this one.

2.) Voice acting. Aughh. Wish there was an option to turn the original Japanese voice acting on, like you can in "Lament of Innocence."
All in all Pharoah is a great game. My only complaint is when I start a new family and I have to go through the first few levels, which are like an in-game tutorial. If you've played Caesar 3 before, or played Pharaoh before it can get old.

6219 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This seller named woodhec sent me a DEFECTIVE N64 Console and I was very disappointed for Christmas! Don't ever buy from this seller unless you want to get robbed of your money. This deserves a FLAT 0!
Now I wait for the remake I have been waiting for since the PS2 days. No matter how good it is though nothing can replace the original, it's a Masterpiece.
The bosses in the game are severely lacking. The only boss that must be defeated is Gnasty Gnorc, so the other 5 are entirely optional. They are usually located towards the middle of the level, with each hit Spyro marks upon them driving them closer to the end. The fights are okay, but I feel that something couldve been added to make them more worthwhile, instead of just being a chase and burn battle.
There are a few characters that join and leave the party. However, there are two that stay throughout the entire game, (Justin and Feena). Each character has their own history, personality, and special movies. This still does not make for good character development though. They are highly predictable. The voice acting and even dialog script is laughable. Such phrases such as; "100,000,000 DEGREES! TAKE THAT!" and "OH WIND, TWIST LIKE A TORNADO!" seems a little cheesy for me during battle.

2333 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Boy, this game was a real disappointment. I truly expected better for this game, since it was based on a truly cool, badass movie. The main reason why it wasn't so good is because of its difficulty... this game was incredibly difficult! Even with the Player's Guide it was very difficult to beat! The last time I played it was probably 2 to 3 years ago though, and back then I wasn't as skilled as I am now at video game playing... maybe I'll give it a second chance. Still, its chances of not being sold or something are not really good.
The story begins as a young Link awakens in a small tree hut. Staying true to past games, you start off with no items or weapons. You soon learn that the Great Deku Tree wishes to see Link, and thus you set out to explore Kokiri Forest. Upon taking your first steps outside, you meet the elfish inhabitants of the forest. While you search the area for a sword, you have time to get accustomed to the controls and the environment. Once you have sufficiently explored the forest and gathered the required items, you head for the Great Deku Tree, accompanied by your faerie friend Navi. After completing this first dungeon, the Deku Tree explains the history of the Triforce and rewards Link with the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, thus setting the story in motion.
We got Evil Genius because we heard it was made by the same people. Evil Genius does NOT hold a candle to this. I still play it a hell of a lot, and I still have fun with it.

This game does offer variety with two types of racing and four racing team. Not only each team offers various difficulty, but also it offers different storylines. I have especially enjoyed night setting race course, with music which it brings out the essence of each course to its max. May be something's wrong with me for I just couldn't enjoy 'awesome' Gran Turismo games (third installment was very enjoyable)..you might say.. but this game was MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE than Gran Turismo, Don't miss it!
5060 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As you could guess, being a film student and all, that I prefer slightly the cinematic fear of the Biohazard/Resident Evil series over this, much more eerie style of fear, but that doesn't mean that this game didn't scare me as much, if not more.

6225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This system really surprised me. I didn't think I would like this console. The controller looked like it required 3 hands, and people seem to hate this thing. So I assumed I wouldn't like it. Then I got it as gift from a friend. (Well it's technically my sisters). Then I started to play it's library of games and realized the old me foolish to ever assume that a controller or bad reputation could define a console. Here are a few reasons why this thing should be on your shelf today!
While the experience on battle.net has been very annoying (IE:Downtime, difficulty starting and getting into games, lag, etc), the LAN multiplayer side of this game has been a blast. That is where the true fun in this game will come out for you. Two friends and I have made Diablo II a weekly thing and have enjoyed every minute.
6779 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I always felt this was a strange sequel, but it was alright. Most of the game isn't too hard; you could actually get through without having to cheat fairly easily. The final boss is incredibly frustrating though. And if you play Sonic 3 and expect Tails to be more useful, he doesn't have controllable flight in this one. The 2-player mode is also a bit strange, with different music and a LOT of lag. Fun fact though, this game taught me what hexidecimal was, because the sound test is written in hexadecimal.
4551 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 You get what you pay for.. what can I say this game really wasn't what I expected.. graphic old, and getting around in the game is clumsy at best... can't recommend...
Musical scores in some areas is annoying
4281 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If, by chance, you're reading this and you've never played Starcraft before, just go ahead and skip reading this and buy it. You won't be disappointed.
Additionaly, you get to fight other bosses, and defeating each boss earns you a special item. There are 5 in all.
While not perfect, it has very few shortcomings so I'm giving it a perfect 5. I hope you enjoy it at least half as much as I did, for that will surely be saying something!
6621 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got this game, because I was over my Mom's house for the holidays. I figured there was going to be some down-time, and she had a PC with NO games. This was great for going in and taking down some small Dinosaurs for a quick fix. Then (after getting my Stepdad, and brother hooked), we would go on a much more aggressive hunt, like after Raptors. Watch the wind. Other animals are on the island, and not all of them are plant eaters. Everything moved smooth, and you can choose how dense you want the foliage, and how sensitive you want the animals to sight, sound, and smell. I wish the directions were more then just a few pages, though. I never got to the BIG carnivores, but it seemed that there should be more interaction with the dinosaurs amongst themselves. (i.e.. getting eaten and all that). All and all a very fun game.
2804 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed Riven more than Myst. Riven was more difficult than Myst, for me, but I still only needed two hints to complete Riven. I would highly recommend Riven to adventure gamers. It really has set a new standard for the genre. Haven't played Exile yet, but I wanted to complete Riven before moving on to #3. What these Cyan games possess - far above any other adventure games I've played - are smart, subtle story lines that really keep your attention. How refreshing to play a game that respects the player's intelligence and sense of inquisitiveness and adventure. I know I'm hooked when I think about a game throughout my day. Riven does become your world. Finally, like Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings,' the Myst games possess subtle yet compelling Christian symbols - a spiritually fulfilling experience.
If you look at the Japanese publication dates, SMB came out in 1985, Lost Levels came out in 1986, Doki Doki Panic came out in 1987, and SMB3 came out in late 1988. Given the fact the game was finished and released by 1988 I would hardly call that "late in the NES hardware cycle". Actually, the NES had only been out three years when SMB3 hit Japan, although the Famicom came out in late 1983. However all the heavy hitters for the Famicom came out in 1985 and beyond.
-COMPLETELY ORIGINAL IDEAS. Most every X game hereafter would re-use this game's general formula of "find the armor, beat the bosses". The biggest difference gameplay-wise from the original series is the armor feature. By collecting parts of it, X becomes more able to take on the levels and the bosses (the levels themselves were designed with the dash feature in mind).

I'd get this one because I personally think that this is NBA JAM at it's best. Very fun and also very cool to play with friends. Especially if you and a friend are good enough to pull off the triple alley oop pass for Team Fire. Again, check it out!
That said, it is still a great game. Most importantly it mannages to get the AD&D "feeling" to the computer, almost like the real thing. The AI does not always work as it should though, and you might find your characters blocking your path, so you are suddenly "stuck" in a small area and need to reload. This can be annoying, but knowing the danger of this happening can help you avoid it.
9420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember, years ago, going to the video store to rent a game and asking the attendant there if they knew of a game I could play that was somewhat like Resident Evil that was dark and scary. He asked if I had a Nintendo 64. I replied that I did. So, he pulls the Quake box from the wall and hands it to me. I take a look at it and read the back of the box and, politely, tell him I wasn't into FPS games. He tells me that he wasn't into them either til he played the game himself. Still not convinced, I told him I'd think about it. He makes me a deal and says, if I rent it and don't like it, he'll give me my money back on the rental. So, I take him up on the offer and take the game home. Needless to say, after playing the game, not only did I NOT take back the game but I kept it for a total of two weeks. However, playing the game caused my stomach to tighten and hurt cause I was tensed up from playing the game. It was, then, I decided to purchase the game and I'm glad that I did.
5556 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Quake 2 was one of my first PC games and I loved it, even after all these years I still play it...A little..
Even with these few flaws, Sonic Adventure is a great game, that will keep you playing for hours on end having a ton of fun. If you're a real Sonic fan do yourself a favor and go buy this game and Sonic Adventure 2 right now!
2369 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a classic, what's not to love? I bought this as I already had blue, so I could play with my kid brother who is still in this age range and we could trade ( I mean I never actually got all the pokemon back in the day since I had no one to trade with, can't leave a task undone now can we?).
There's even a very cool hidden ending. If you got the extra items in the game, you can use them after gaining admission past the gate at the Gwar show to be a slave during the Gwar show. Very cool!
Phantasy Star Online
8329 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great a game! It's almost as fun as the actual board game. The only drawbacks, especially from the original Risk computer game is that you can't save the game and finish it later, and you can't play with a neutral player like the board game and the earlier computer game could. Also, sometimes the computer just makes some really stupid moves! But then again sometimes I'd swear that the digital dice were sometimes stacked against me! Fun game!
9097 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok, let's start with a disclaimer: If you didn't like Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES, then you aren't going to like this game. So there it is.
Jesse
The slingshot could also be used for slinging Power Pellets in case of any ghosts lurking around. However, here's one major flaw with that - The only place I recall where you get Power Pellets is Pac-Man's house. And you only get to use 3 before running out. If Pac-Man needs a Power Pellet and ghosts are scaring him, this will go on for a LONG time before the ghosts finally fly away.
The only arenas you can play in are house show like arenas. There's a WCW house show like arena and the rest are Japanese arenas. To add on to the Japanese theme in this game, there's cheesy music that loops throughout the matches that sounds like it would've been acceptable in a 1980s Japanese action movie. There are 7 different modes you can play in this game that are: League Challenge, Best of Seven, Exhibition Match, Elimination Match, Tournament, League Match, and Double Title Match.
On one hand, the game does have some issues, nay some huge issues but for some reason I think about re-experiencing this game more than the others which is strange. Might not be everyone's favorite Final Fantasy but for me it is.
3907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are few games inspired by movies that capture the feel of those movies as well as Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight has. It isn't any one thing that does it, be it the music, the graphics, the characters or the sound effects, that draw the player so completely into the game until all senses are immersed in the environment, but rather they all combine so perfectly that Jedi Knight accomplishes just that. If I had anything approaching a complaint it might be that those 20 levels go by awfully fast.

the installation froze, but surprisingly, i was able to call tech support and talk to a person. i downloaded the installation program and had no issues. you may have an issue with this if you have a slow connection, or if you don't have internet.
Sega was in it's prime when they made games for the Dreamcast. Sonic, Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead 2, Sega Bass and Marine Fishing, Daytona USA, and Virtua Tennis are still among the best and most playable today. Other honorable mentions go to Soul Calibur, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Power Stone 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Jet Grind Radio, 18 Wheeler, and Silent Scope. Unfortunately, the dreamcast will never come back and Sega may never again be the giant that they once were, but you can still find the console, the games, VMU's, fishing controller's, and light gun's to experience some of the best that gaming has to offer. Get it while the gettin's good.
- stunning graphics: I'm not joking now but some games even look better than the overpriced and overrated Playstation 2! Fire up Jet Set Radio, Quake 3, NBA 2K1 and you know what I'm talking about!
4940 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have little children who enjoy the Rugrats believe me they,ll love this game. My kids are ages 6yrs to 10yrs old and this game has provided hours and hours of fun. I never heard my kids laughing and cheering each other on so much, until I purchased this game for them.
Apparantly this game is eaisly compatable with Vista, although I can not verify this myself.
All of this and I've hardly gone over the gameplay at all. What is there to say? Its battle and party development mechanics are fun, even if sometimes a little too simple. The thing is, thanks to the PlayStation's better hardware and new format, Final Fantasy VII offers a much more multifaceted experience than its predecessors-- an experience whose ATB battles and character maintenance are overshadowed by its other aspects. Final Fantasy VI performed a successful balancing act between gameplay and narrative, even if the scales occasionally tipped more towards narrative. If the last Final Fantasy on the SNES marked a change in direction, then Final Fantasy VII was a wild sprint in that new direction. It builds on much of what made VI successful, but somewhere along the line, the balance was totally thrown off. Final Fantasy VII is about narrative. The battles are fun, but they are certainly not what sold over 11 million copies.

NOT TO MENTION '' NEMESIS '' ON YOUR TAIL ALL THROUGH THE GAME AS WELL .. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM A SHORTER GAME , AND NOT AN ACTUAL SEQUEL TO THE SECOND ONE ; IT STILL HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS YOU EXPECT FROM A '' RESIDENT EVIL '' GAME ..SO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS , TURN UP THE SOUND , AND PREPARE TO BE SCARED TO SHEER ENJOYMENT .

The storyline of Super Metroid is that the Metroid Hatchling Samus found at the end of her previous adventure, she left in the care of scientist. But that station came under attack and Samus finds that she must help. When she gets there she has a confrontation with Ridley who ends up flying away with the Metroid hatchling and Samus tracks him down to planet Zebes. This is a great storyline!

-EXCELLENT LEVEL DESIGNS. Sonic's main gimmick was that he's fast, right? Well Sega wisely chose to center the level structures this time around his speedy characteristics and as a result, the levels are extremely fun to go through. There's still plenty of platforming action amidst the flurry of speed, so the challenge is ever present. The Zones are extremely varied as well, so you'll never get bored with the levels.

Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow are the very best for a Poke Vet like me.

This game starts off like this, you are Harry Mason, the right man in the wrong place. You wake up after a car accident to find that your daughter, cheryl, is gone. Now you must search for her in the dark, terrifying town of Silent Hill. Along the way you will meet some odd people, it also has alot of twist and turns. This game has most probably best story/atmosphere ever, it actully makes you feel like your in the town of Silent Hill.

Mario rescues Daisy and with a happy ending Mario and Daisy get back to the Mushroom Kingdom!
The graphics are reasonably good, with three dimensional characters and environments. The church you start out near, for examples, looks like one you might construct out of paper and color the walls of. Very flat with few surfaces, but relatively reasonable for the time.
1266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first installment in the GTA franchise, this game is awsome, the story is simple and the gameplay is fun.
You can rotate and view the characters from different angles by entering the character bio section and holding Z. You can use the analog stick to move them around.
The areas that you are put are also very real in a way as you are limited to space and have to try to get round this in a variety of different ways. You can even buy or rent extra land if oyu are in need of some but not all of it is for sale, which brings you to think like what a proper company has to cope with.
Every item in this game has its own special and unique uses from ketchup to cigarettes.
7849 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It was ok.
I cannot say enough positive things about "Riven." I end up playing it more than "Myst" and have sometimes preferred it over "Myst III: Exile." To say I am fascinated with everything on those five islands is an understatement. I sometimes with I could actually go to the Riven Age and explore; that's how seriously disturbed I really am!
Spyro is the main character(obviously) a little purple dragon with Sparx(a dragonfly and his best friend) following him around, Sparx represents Spyro's health and proctects Spyro. He can only take so many hits or damage spyro should of recieved before Spyro is on his own and can only get hit once, to avoid this however you can ram or flame the sheep(called fodder) and they will turn into butterflies which Sparx eats in one bite for a life. The mission of the game is to free your fellow dragons who were all turned to crystal statues(Spyro wasn't tall enough to get hit by the spell), get the eggs and dragon treasure back, and beat Gnasty Gnorc who hates dragons and besides turning them into statues stole all the dragon treasure and the dragon eggs.
9498 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 game not worth the money i beat the game within 40 minutes!!!! as a 6 year old i loved playing this game but it was literaly a piece of cake now being older wouldnt of bought it for 5 bucks
5147 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Don't judge this game just because it is an old PlayStation game with bad graphics. The graphics don't even compromise this masterpiece! The writing is amazing! Expect superb voice acting, even for an old 1998 game. Some of the gameplay mechanics are a bit outdated, such as you can't go in first person view mode when shooting a weapon. But everything else is awesome!!!!! This game has such a cinematic feel to it, and it's basically a playable movie! This game has some really emotional moments, (no spoilers) but I know all these characters, and I bonded with them! Just play this friggin' game!!!!!!
SimCity 3000 is a mixed bag for me. I love being able to play a fully updated version of 2000, but whether it should be called 3000 or 2100 is something of a dilemma.
Groundbreaking.
A wonderful achievement!

The graphics are the same as in RE and RE2 only with slight improvement on the character models and design. The pre-rendered environments don't look as good or dark as in RE2 but are still nice. The game itself is very short compared to the first two, and the only playable character is Jill. The camera angles can get annoying sometimes, especially when there is an enemy blocking your view. (This problem is in the first two games also.) It wasn't as scary, exciting, or suspenseful as RE and RE2. But still has moments that make you jump out of your seat. And lastly, it lacks a story.
3. Riven creates a fantasy world that is alien; yet it evokes a sense of reality that is, in my experience, unparalleled in computer gaming. I wish I could find a way to live in Riven.

Gameplay: You play the entire campaign through in your stereotypical mock Abrams tank, blasting through enemy defenses and rescuing (or kidnapping???) women. Your tribal army needs women to stay in existence. Different gangs have different types of tanks. There are a variety of powerups for your tank like swarmer missiles, guided missiles, lasers, and gun buddies you can set down to defend areas. Most of the missions remind me of a multiplayer session of "Capture the Flag" from any number of FPS games. BattleTanx's single-player is unique in that regard.
1571 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All I can say about this one is that it's just about as good as the other ones, just has ... dialogue and voice acting, and no real cut scenes.
2=Great!
Wild ARMS, simply put, is a classic. Personally, I would put this above FFVII in terms of my overall favorites, even though I played FFVII first (FFVII still being another one of my top favorites). Even if your a new to Wild ARMS, or a fan, this is one RPG not to overlook.
C: MMOSMB1! It might be difficult to figure out how to do this, but if it were possible to string several worlds (with all 4 areas included) together, I can imagine the hilarious result, running in a frantic race with dozens of marios' of many different color schemes, all scrambling to jump, squash, run, and shove their way past the othes from start to finish, with respawning blocks, creatures, and Bowzers! This GBC counterpart offers over 14 worlds, with 4 areas each, and alternative versions and rulesets for 8 of those worlds. it wouldn't be the most compelling game invented, but getting 16 or more different players simultaneously scrambling for this kind of goal would definitely be a sight to see!
Now X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter brings us relatively up to date combing elements of both games what you have is a game that is more useful for multiplayer than single player missions. This is finally where the age of this type of game in this type of format began to show. Most of the missions in this game were just repeats of the same missions in X-Wing and Tie Fighter. Although the graphics are better and there are one or two missions that provide a great level of enjoyment.
As the player, I turn Paynes predicament into an opportunity for revenge. But not all is grit and gloom. *Payne* parodies itself along the way, relieving its own pain through the medicine of laughter. Much of the story unfolds in a wonderfully dark and sour graphic novel. Frozen in pictures made to resemble watercolor panels, actors pose comically, goofy expressions across their faces. Voice acting accompanies the novel scenes with such delicious ham I wanted to eat it. As the voice of pain himself, James McCaffrey deadpans morbid metaphor after sanguine simile after killer comeback. After criticizing the insanity of a mob boss, Payne broods, But who was I to talkan underdog avenger alone against an empire of evil, out to right a grave injustice? In the action itself, the player will stumble across nods to *Pulp Fiction*, *Die Hard*, *Lethal Weapon*, *Batman*, *The Punisher*, and *The Killer*. Foes scream hysterically as they die. And wisely borrowing from *No One Lives Forever*, Remedy peppers the game with the conversations of its guards, like Why are vampire movies always set in LA? They cant get a suntan!
1500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very Satisfied thank you will be doing business again
4893 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great for extending the cable for the Nintendo 64 N64 Controller for Nintendo's gaming console the Nintendo N64 by Nintendo. I may have stretched that sentence out to hit the 20 word minimum. Maybe. But a great cable nonetheless.
Devious puzzles.
Myst was really a ground breaking game when it was first released. It's partially a puzzle game and part mystery. The way people could interact with small portions of the environment and see their effects was really interesting as well. Basically you have to find out why the two brothers are so accusatory of each other and why they were imprisoned. You find out more as you find more pages on different Ages, which is where the puzzle part comes in. You get clues on Myst Island in order to find ways to get access to the other ages. Then once you're on that Age you have to figure out how to get back!
3834 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is without any doubt the best sci-fi RPG ever (and I mean ever) made. And it's so scary that the first many hours you play it, cold sweat will run down you neck. It's in 3D, and it's (in my oppinion) the only RPG that gets away with that. And the sound is so great and sooooo scary that some times you wish you never loaded the game. Even if the game costs $100, it was still worth the money.
In NC, you can choose from 1 of 2 characters, and it's pretty much a third person slasher that goes level by level of hacking and slashing your way through some pretty cool enemies and genuinely creative levels in what seems to be 19th century England.
9128 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent was so excited to receive the N64 I love it thank you so much. I had no issues at all.
Coupled with some bugs that make stations seem disconnected, you can end up in a situation where you lose a game because the track-laying interface was not up to the task. And that's the only =real= sour lemon in this package. Again, though, even with this, there's still a lot of fun.
6. Very easy to hack. If you can solder you can do many things with this.
I also noticed some reviewers saying the game is really buggy, or people cheat alot. That is true the game can be buggy at times, and people do cheat, but there is no way of avoiding that in any game. VALVe has tried their hardest to stop the cheating with their VALVe anit-cheat technology. They have also released many patches, from the start to fix most of the bugs.
7197 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is superior to GoldenEye in every way. That says a lot, because GoldenEye is one of the greatest N64 games ever. Having said that, in this game, you control Joanna Dark, a secret agent who has been sent to infiltrate DataDyne Corporation, because they have been suspected of conspiracy. It turns out that they are collaboration with a hostile alien race. The Skeddars are giving them technology, and in return, DataDyne is cloning a skeddar in the form of the American President. You use great guns (all hail the Slayer), cool gadgets (I love the Spy series), and play in cool missions (one of which takes place in my home of Chicago, and one onboard Air Force One). If you like first person shooters, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

Forget water-boarding. Forget Guantanamo bay. That would be considered a health spa compared to this game. S*#$, force a terrorist to play this game for 8 hours strait, and he'll tell you on how to cure any form of cancer.
and so much.
If you loved to be scared, find this game and have pleasant dreams, ha ha ha ha ha.
The music is great, though at time minimalist, with alot of areas playing simple beats, rather then music. Personally though, that's part of the atmosphere of many of the areas, with music being used for towns and cenimatics.

I beg of anyone that's even considering buying this or god forbid, even playing this PLEASE!!! Your not missing a thing, in fact you'll thank me and anyone else that has a similar opinion on the matter. Playing a great 2-D fighter like Samurai Showdown or Street Fighter II is far better than having prematurely gray hair and vomit all over your favorite shirt (and being mentally scarred).
Don't Look Back!
As far as i am concerned, once this game was released, the world could stop turning with no noticiable affect to me (save the constant darkness or light!)
9070 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had to find one of these controllers so I could play one of my all time favorite games Eternal Champions:Challenge From The Darkside for Sega CD. I finally did find a couple and I must say they are great and fit nicely into your hands. Trash the old 3 button controller and upgrade to the six button controller and you can play and enjoy more games for your Sega Genesis and Sega CD.
4485 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a good space simulator. It allows you to control many different aspects of your people, including socio/economic model, resources, transportation, security, etc. It also allows you to design your own units based on what technologies you have researched. It is also a good macroscopic military strategy game. It is turn-based, so if you play only RTS don't play this. If you don't mind turn-based games, though, and you like space-based strategy games, you should play this. The graphics are second-rate, but that is just because it is old.
Even though 20 minutes of cutscenes and conversations isn't really my thing, at least you are given the option to skip through them if you want (by pressing any one of the four main buttons, plus the Start button). I hate when game companies FORCE you to watch them. I don't think the storyline is bad in any shape or form. It's actually decent. You see, my whole life I've had a belief that a video game should be more about actually "playing a game" and less time should be devoted to storyline segments (I'll make an exception for RPGs). The storyline in Metal Gear Solid is so big and lengthy that if you were to sit there and listen to the whole thing you would be sitting there for HOURS. Honestly, Metal Gear Solid focuses more on storyline than actual gameplay.
Why would I recommend this game?:
9761 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You get your licence, buy a car, fix it up, add new parts, get it washed, race, win money, and then start all over. This sounds just like what you would do in real like, which is why this game is great, it is very realistic. There are over 500 cars, from every brand you can think of, and 20 highly detailed tracks that will never get boring. So why did I only give this game 4 stars? Like Stuntman, which could have been an amazing game, this game was ruined by its difficulty level. In order to enter any of the races, you must get the first two licences. The first one wasn't too difficult, and the second one wasn't either until number 8. This took me atleast 60 tries! Okay, I finally got my second licence, which means I can go and enter many of the beginer races. I started a race being very anxious.
6001 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diablo II is simply one of the most addictive gaming experience you will ever have. Like Diablo, the interface is extremely easy to get used to, so you can concentrate on your adventure without worrying about the controls. Even though the graphics look much like the original, the art work in Diablo is definitely praise-worthy. Each act looks unique conpared to the other ones. The five classes provide you with a wide range of abilities and attributes to develop and use against the evil forces. One major minus though: unlike Diablo, you cannot really save in Diablo 2. When you do save and exit, the monsters regenerate themselves. This forces you to finish the fight once you start it. Other than this inconvenience, Diablo 2 is definitely one of the best action-RPG game ever.
771 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is ok, but mostly mediocre. This is the best that the N64 had to offer alongside the wrestling games and resident evil 2? Just goes to show that the nintendrone cult are way off the mark. The Sony playstation 1 had better games and far better immersion due to having the CD storage. This game like i said is ok but hardly as good as the nintendrones have made it out to be. The production of the game is basically weak, with the menu intro being pathetic, and the music repeating over and over and over on each board. The gameplay is ok in that i can mow down enemies while running, but the aiming sucks and it gets boring having to mow down enemies that keep spawning over and over while i figure out how to complete the mission.
I have had the pleasure of owning a Dreamcast and have played some great games for the console. The graphics on this thing are amazing, almost all the games are superb, and LOTS of them are breathtaking (NFL2K1, Sonic, HOTD2 ect.).
Sure, I can go around shooting other vehicles, but who cares about that when I can't ever catch up to them. Too many sharp turns in the Wipeout series make it difficult to build up speed. Right when I think I've got a good race going, I hit the side and my car stops and there goes the momentum. What a way to kill the fun.
8598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Besides this game being an amazing classic...the cartridge was fully functional and all. Thanks!
4503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a collection of the first 7 King's Quest game covering a history going back to the mid-80s. Therefore the earliest of these games are quite primative, but have a nostalgic charm to them, and all the games have fun fantasy stories with a wonderful, light sense of humour.
If you don't already know, STARCRAFT is a RTS game that features three different races, the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. Each has very different strategies that can be used to defeat the other. I personally prefer the Terrans. The Terrans are the most fun to play, but I believe the Terrans are also the toughest and maybe the most rewarding to play. The Protoss are hard to play also. I don't like to play the Zerg, because they are too easy to play and it is too easy to win a multiplayer game with.
Well, I hope you enjoy this game. Thanks for reading this review, and until next time...
Overall there's a great experience here, just one that's a bit on the easy side. The two sequels ramp up the difficulty level considerably, and together the games form a fine trilogy on the SNES.
8936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game defined my childhood. I played it all the time. I decided to get it for my son as a birthday present. He had a lot of fun at first. Unfortunately the seller sold us a game that freezes so it kept freezing on one part of the game. Watch who you buy from but other then that this game id great for families to play together
4514 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game calls its civilizations "races" and has slavery as a prominet part of the game, but there is the abolition eventually. It does not feel like a successor to Civilization II. The wonders of the world are all new, as is the technology tree. The interface is new, and you cannot use a keyboard to move units. I did not care much for its supposedly improved graphics over Civilization II, I did not see that much improvement, and by now the graphics are not cutting edge anyway.
6544 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, yes the graphics are dated (old school PS1), but so far the story and voice acting are great. And YES it does work on the PS3. Enjoy!
There are still many games out there being sold, so if you're looking to relive some nostalgia, never had a chance to, or just want to simple fun, I'd recommend this Gameboy the most because it doesn't as much battery and is very slim.
7958 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely Loved this game. I thought the storyline was extremely original and it went it a different direction then most RPG's. For it's time the graphics are very good and the plot is very developed and interesting. The fact that you get to have your own home base and go out and recruit people for your own army makes it in a class by itself. I loved going around and finding new recruits, and though it can take some time it was well worth it. The only downfall I can really think of is the fact you had So many characters to choose from to put into your party. Other then that, I think it's a solid game for RPG lovers.
482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Despite awkward controls that seem to be designed more for a computer than a Game System (and get used to it, because that lasts until the PS2 era-- aka, the sixth game in the series) this has to be one of the funnest games of all time. It gives a challenge on multiple levels & inspires you to keep playing to find out what happens next as things get progressively more dangerous and more bizarre. Was re-made as Tomb Raider: Anniversary, but I'd prefer the original any day.
8333 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sure,this isn't better than Virtua Fighter 4,but its much different in gameplay. The fighting style is cool and very fun,and its arcady so its great for anyone. Fighting gamers cant live without it,even if you aren't the biggest fighting fan you will love this. The best game on Saturn is Virtua Fighter 2.
9857 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After about 70 hours of gameplay, I finished this game today. And as I look back I think this was a great game all-around. The animation and voice-over is a little cheesy, but you'll find yourself so engrossed in the story line, that you won't care. The graphics are mostly cartoon calibur, aside from a few great movie scenes.
9907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A Ninja Turtle Fighting game almost like Marvel Super Heros With The teenage Mutant NInja Turtles but one down Fall No Shredder in it but a new bad guy named Kari
In the game, there are soooo many places to explore and things to find.
good thing I Baught this for a 2 bucks....But still that was a waste...
Once you cross the finish line, you can use an extra boost that you earn every time there.

OVERALL SCORE
3552 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I know this review is just a few years too late but I felt compelled to write it. I can't understand how the Dreamcast failed, I own a PS2, XBOX and a Gamecube and considering the amount of time it was out for it outperformed all of those consoles for classic games. I mainly use my PS2 now, mainly because it has basically full third party support, i'm not interested in performance and specifications, just the number of good games available. Nintendo are extremely overrated, and I consider my Gamecube a waste of money and I have a few great Xbox games but I wouldn't reccomend it over the Dreamcast.
+ Graphics.. Sorry but Dreamcast (Despite what Sony fans say) Blows the PS2 out of the water in this area... the cream of the crop games on Dreamcast.. are consistently better then the PS2.. and compare closely.. and beats at times the Gamecube.. the only system from this generation.. that can beat the Dreamcast is XBOX(And even then it is very close)
6264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Over a decade old, still one of the best games I've ever played, *and* one of the top 3 stories I've ever read. That's right: read. The game's vivid, engrossing writing draws you in the way games with full voice acting often fail to do, and leaves an enduring impression on you.

I left my warrior in the castle and started out again as a conjurer, as I'd read in some reviews that this is the most diverse and interesting character to play. Well, I haven't played as a wizard, and probably won't, but playing the conjurer is great fun. You visit the same places, but have quite different challenges and meet different people. A conjurer can use bows, crossbows and staves, can wear leather armour (some you find in the latter stages are pretty cool) and has heaps of offensive, defensive and healing magic at his disposal. The most interesting spell enables you to charm animals to assist you and later you can even summon them to help. Your great mid-game foe, the mimic, is a worthy ally when summoned, especially against the vampire lichs. In one of Nox's great ironies, monsters in the conjurer game drop heaps of ranged weapons that a warrior would kill for, but which are useless to the conjurer and raise hardly any cash. I'd advise not to buy arrows, as you find more than enough in the latter stages and you can use the cash for better purposes. And carry a few spare sets of armour into the final chapter, as you'll go through it quickly and any armour is better than none.

the track design is the best of the 3 PSone wipeouts by far. they lay out and the venues are very well done and the soundtrack is a perfect fit. the controls work great even though they're on the digital pad; and the game play itself is unique, features innovative weapons and gets VERY fast. mario cart this is not.

3905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The thing that's realy great about this set is that you get three CDs worth of games. You get the original Dark Forces II game that has quite a bit of gameplay, PLUS the Mysteries of the Sith game that is almost as long as Jedi Knight. For the price you get a LOT of playing time.
3173 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can's say enough about Final Fantasy VII. Even though it is no longer on the cutting edge of RPG games, it is still one of the best. The story is very complex and flows very smoothly. The game system is great. The materia system really works well to customize the game somewhat by specializing weapons and armours. Replay value is high because it's very intersting to see the different characters. This is definitely a time-sucking game. I've played for hours trying to breed Chocobos just to see what's in some of the "unreachable" places. If you own a PlayStation, you should own Final Fantasy VII.
With all the unlockable characters, modes and costumes, it will keep you entertained for weeks to come. That and being one of the most comprehensive fighters out there makes it a must have.
6396 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My friend and I have been longing for a game like this for years. And finally in the Summer of '99, Illusion Softworks, a Czech-based software company, has created such a game. One of my favorite missions is an assault on a bunker base defended by a network of trenches and MG34 machine guns. Now which movie did that come from? The final mission is awesome. Sneak thru an airfield at the end of the war with the Russians attacking on the other side.
This game was released after the PS1 hit Metal Gear Solid (The one that started all) it contains over 300 missions of VR training from sneaking to weapons to variety & even puzzle missions.
4358 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of the best classics game I've ever had. This game is released years ago, yet this game is still a fun game to play today.
1866 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was feeling nostalgic so I bought this game along with a few others to relive my childhood. It's as much fun as I remember! There's always plenty to do, from finishing levels to completing timed flight races. Even if you beat the final boss in the game, you can keep playing to collect all the gems and find all the dragons. Once you do that, you get to open up new content! Even at 100% complete, there's STILL more to do, not to mention the replayability of the game is superb. Definitely worth the buy!
8507 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first and most certainly not the last Mario Kart game is an SNES game that's a load of fun! While the game can't boast about it's graphics, it sure can brag about how enjoyable it is! This game can pose a challenge at times, but what's really fun is playing with friends! Battles are a great treat, except COMS would make the battle better. You can play as any of your favorite characters with a host of unique tracks and items. A competitive game that is fun from all angles. So be sure to race on over to the prices list and buy it today!
- Note: all Final Fantasy are not related to one another, think of each Final Fantasy a it's own game not connect in any real/true way to another Final Fantasy, the only exception is Final Fantasy X-2 which is a sequel to Final Fantasy X

As I said earlier, "Titanic" is a great adventure game, and, at least for me, setting standards that no other adventure game has matched. Hopefully, the creators of the new adventure games try to follow "Titanic's" example and in the future make actual "adventures" instead of endless puzzles.
8609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfectly.
You progress through the game through a series of dungeons that act as a gatekeeper. You may have access to several at a time so you can choose. Or you may need a item from one to make it through another. Its wonderful to have a choice, if sometimes rather confusing. There was a couple of times I got just flat out stuck and had to look online for a solution. So its a pretty challenging game, as most were of this generation.
7516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic Star Wars game on Nintendo 64.
In short, buy the Dreamcast. Sega only stopped making them because of financial problems despite the Dreamcast's success. A lot of good games to play on it, and gives the options of internet play or surfing the web, or even hooking the thing up to your monitor for crisper graphics. Outstanding. I'd give it a 5, but only if it had a built-in toaster.
Graphics....SO smooth and nice to look at, not to mention the level designs are nothing short of AMAZING. Prostitution houses to roof tops this game goes everywhere with amazing detail.
6461 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great item
While the combat is excellent, and holds up very well over time, the story is also extremely advanced for a Genesis game. PSII has a dark tone to it, and there is an excellent plot twist mid-way through the game. In some ways the plot mirrors that of Final Fantasy VII, despite the fact that PSII came out years earlier. I don't want to give anything away, but some aspects of those two games are VERY similar.
9711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like strategy games very much and that is just the kind I like the most. Tough, with broad list of varieties and not too fast to play. It has two different paths (you can switch between them as you wish, whenever you choose your next destination) - governing in peace or battle with the enemies. You must just follow some basic tips and the outcome will shorly be positive (it's only matter of time and nerves). 1. Build slowly (don't make too much housing at the beginning). You are usually limited with Peace rating and you can only gain it with the time, so take your time. You will spend too much money if you start too fast. 2. Build with care (leave space for additional buildings). When you start playing certain destination, take yourself five minutes (put in Pause mode or to 10% speed) to overview the terrain. I had best results with 44 blocks of housing with stripes of 24 spaces on top & bottom and 34 spaces left & right. 3. Watch your ratings and advisors carefully! Don't except everything they say to you, but keep in mind that people are very demanding and you won't be able to fool them for long. 4. Specials - you can have tax rate up to 14%, don't fool with Caesar more than twice (third time it's six legions!) and keep the festivals running. For futher info or comments please email me.
3112 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 7 brought a brand new battle system by using materia. It made all gamers want to play it over and over again. While some battles can be tough the game is magificent. The additon of the tough American Monsters gives even the best RPG gamer a hard time. If there was one thing I would have asked for about the game I would have wanted to be able to play has Sephiroth. Just looking at him its a wonder you could beat him.(Unless you have Knights of the Round) The game is good and I would reccomend it to every RPG gamer out there.
This game took the bar up to 10. After KI, almost every other fighting game came up with some sort of combo system. Some not as impressive as KI but still, the combo system was adopted and to this day, very used by most games because let's face it, the combos add another dimension to the game. Instead of a whalloping one-hit move that hurt like hell, you could unleash vicious combos that, if done properly could wipe your opponent across the screen.
1577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, the graphics suck, but the game itself is awesome. There's even cheat codes in it to help and it is very fun to play in Multi-player. Running over the pedestrians are fun and crashing into buildings and cars. And i have it in its original packaging
But wait -- just when you think you've destroyed her for good the second time around -- she arises again, and transforms into a completely new body! Time to take her out once more! (by firing at her head) However, without revealing too much spoiler (i.e., for anyone who hasn't picked up a Metroid game), a very sad ending will ensue after Samus has given Mother Brain a run for her money. It's still one of the saddest endings to the game to this very day. But don't let that deter you, fellow players -- download this game post-haste, and you will be really pleased that you did! :)
351 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is not the right cord for this game system.
7820 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AWESOME
The largest "dungeon" in the game (this place is HUGE), and the farthest away from Midgar Final Fantasy VII takes you before handing you an airship and making you revisit the places you've already been. Barret, likely delirious from hypothermia, goes off on a tangent about how the northern tundra is like the antithesis of Midgar, and I think he's on to something. The path of Cloud's journey to find Sephiroth begins in a place that has been totally co-opted by humanity, and ends here: in a pristine wilderness completely under nature's domain, where humans are incapable of sustaining themselves for long. I guess the message here is that what's most desirable is a middle ground between the two.
The temples all have thier own awesome themes, both musically and environmentally. I always thought that the Forest Temple was incredibly imaginative and just stunning. It has the feel of something abandoned to the wild with overgrown vines overtaking the temple, and the open courtyard.
7696 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I grew up playing this and its still fun - works great
I have never seen such a breathtaking and stunning game/piece of entertainment before, and I seriously doubt something like this will surface again the next few decades.
Going down into your dungeon by possessing a creature does not cause the creatures to turn into a cloud of dots - the rooms you roam through are still crisp and easy to see. Roaming through your own dungeons is one of the true pleasures of this game, too!
2881 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Looks good, some scratches on discs but plays.
2672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good condition
7627 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm writing this review in 2016, so I highly doubt anyone looking at this hasn't already played this. If you haven't played this game - personally I and my siblings prefer this OVER Mario Kart 64. That may seem blasphemous, but there are reasons:
1) Certain characters are hard to get (like Ness)
2090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There were so many cool Hidden things in this game and strange little things that you could do beyond just racing. The glitch were when you were driving towards the center of the destruction Derby and hit it just right and go shooting into the air is my favorite. This always used to make my day as a kid
1413 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this game. It was very fun. It was the very first game I owned for the N64, so I didn't really understand how the controls worked but this game was really easy to figure out. I love it. When I walk by it in stores and see it ..., I'm speechless. It is a great game, and by the looks of it, the price it down too. This is definently worth your money.
QFG4 could feel repetitive, as its Balkan-like setting is not that different from QFG1. All character classes will find things especially for them to do here. However, the game is horribly buggy; the Mad Monk Tomb section especially.
STORY: I don't want to spoil too much of the story for those who haven't played or beaten the game yet. FF7 had a critically acclaimed storyline. The storyline for FF8 is great as well. The story will seem boring through much of disc 1 but by the time you've gotten to disc 2 they heat up (other than the horribly boring event at Trabia Garden). At that point in the game I was hooked. I came home from school everyday just to play this game. You'll find yourself always wanting to know what will happen next.
This game is a sword and sorcery masterpiece. It has a phenomenal story, beautiful graphics, and memorable music. I love how deep the story is, and how they go into great detail about the history and religion of Hyrule. Both the game itself and the instruction manual explain the story beautifully. The game is also not too hard. The dungeons are not that difficult, and if you know what to do, you will be able to finish the game much faster than you'd think.
8385 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although the graphics are on an out-dated system (It's been almost 7 years this game has been made!), "Earthworm Jim" is still one of the best action-adventure game to date! I was very impressed with the gameplay, storyline (Even though there wasn't much of one), graphics, and originality of this game! And still catch myself playing it sometimes! And for those who have only played "Earthworm Jim 3D" (Such a bad game!!!) I strongly recomend renting this game to see how Earthworm Jim was made to be played!
But it's the story... the STORY of Torment is truly literature in my eyes. You find out that the "hero" you play has been around for ages, and was actually kind of a jerk to a lot of people you'll meet. It's an amnesia story, so slightly unoriginal in that respect, but it's still VERY VERY original and sad and clever. This game is one of the few games where I felt really bad for one of my party members because the description of the memory you have of how you treated him is just brutal. If it was a movie, the scene would be all of 5 seconds long (and really not graphic), but Black Isle Studios' writers were masters at what they did. And they evoke so many emotions in this game through their writing and descriptions.
2105 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
All in all, it's two-thirds superior shoot-em-up and one-third genius, polished until it shines and pumped up with steroids.
6033 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You thought half life was a good game well you have another one right here to hit you in the face. This is another great game. It is just as great as half life. I like the thought that you get to be put on the other side.
3862 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this so many year ago and I loved it. To be able to play games with unlimited ammo and lives was amazing back in the day. Now I don't have time for video games anymore. But one day when I have a family, I will pull this stuff back out.
1. The music. It's so hilarious
In Amy's level you pretty much just walk around and hit enemies with a hammer, it gets old very fast.
Unlockakle: Ness
This game isn't my second all-time favorite for nothing!
Everything about this game is above average. The characters, the levels, the really awesome music, and the most excellent gameplay make this one of the better SNES titles to own and easily the best fighting game of this era to own.
THE GOOD
3521 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In Res Evil two, you had two discs of stuff to get done, one playing as Leon, and the other as Claire. In this one, you are Jill Valentine, and you can't really pick anyone else.
Overall: As I stated for the title, this is my favorite series of all time and all the Donkey Kong's for SNES are MASTERPIECES. It's a shame to see that Nintendo has been making spin-offs of Donkey Kong(Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, King of Swing, Donkey Konga 1 & 2, & Mario vs. Donkey Kong), while these games may or may not be good, we have yet to see a Donkey Kong platform game since Donkey Kong 64. Whether there is a reason I don't know, but I hope Nintendo will make one before the Revolution comes out.
Madden NFL 2000
962 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart 64 this game is fun you'll play this over and over. My favorite board is Mushroom level it's easy that's why and you pick up items to used from keeping your opponent from taking the lead. Great buy.
1051 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart64 is one of the more entertaining video games of all times. It is suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed and mastered by the young and old. 4-player simultaneous play with a selection of 8 classic Mario characters and 4 different difficulties (beat all curcuits in 3rd or better to earn Extra Mode) and 16 levels of play, each level containing it's own unique obstacles and course.
2985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic for anybody who still has a Playstation, or a Playstation 2. This game is pretty freakin' awesome. Not going to spoil anything, but you should play it if you haven't already.
The Potted Ghost's Castle
7337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best mario ever made,even better than Super Mario Deluxe(DX). GamePro would say the same-this is it. 5.0 is best,0.5 is worst. Heres what gamepro said(in a out-of-print copy):GRAPHICS:4.5 SOUND:5 CONTROLS(how much they respond):4.5 FUN FACTOR(how fun it is):5! GET IT NOW! OR ELSE!
122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This microphone hooked right into the Xbox and worked on par with all expectations.
Guardian Force - without it you'd be toast. Well actually, probably not. I went through the last quarter of the game without using a single GF. Squall with 255 Strength and a Lionheart = doom for enemies. It's simple - the last boss incredibly easy. My simple strategy is to cast Mighty Guard, and then hack away at high speed - or stay at low health [not too low] and use endless limit breaks. But that's getting off topic - The GFs are your faithful companions, they're kind of like Summons or Espers (Shiva, Ifrit and some other classics are back, yet again!) and they allow you to junction (the Junction system completely gets rid of equipping armor etc.. read about it soon!) magic to your attributes. The GF summons look fantastic the first couple of times, and they do take up a reasonable amount of time.. but they start to get annoying. You'll be sitting there frantically pressing the square button while watching your GF do the same move.. again and again. There are also hidden/secret GFs. The GFs can learn abilities from a long list including HP up, New junction options, new abilities (such as Recover, Revive etc.) and other neat little things. IMHO, the GF concept isn't the brightest idea in the world, but it works out okay.
2285 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It's a game. But the acting is no worse than the movie so I give it one extra star because you can do stuff, not just sit there and watch the lousey acting. "Qui gon, I have a bad feeling about dis" Well, it's kinda fun, I guess. You get to whack things with yer light-saber which sounds much like the movie and the other sound effects/background ambience are excellent in my opinion. Music even better. Gameplay OK. Graphics are not the best for now but very good for 1999. You want a good Episode I game, try Racer.
515 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks a lot, It's a great product & service
Later..
The WOW factor was in full effect.
497 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 From the ruins of Rome to the futuristic setting of Atlantis, Tomb Raider takes the gamer through a variety of wonderful worlds. Unlike its sequels, it stays in the tombs and out of other settings. I believe that it is one of the best games ever made, and it certainly is a classic. However, I believe that its sequels in many aspects overshadow it.
The game can also be played with a computerized ally, your first choice is Velvet Dark (Joanna's sister) but more are available when the game is defeated on a different setting.
-There's no big incentive to use one character over another
To make your city prosperous first of all you have to see to it that the basic needs of the locals are well taken care off - like providing easy food accessibility by placing a market in every neighborhood. Placement of fountains is equally important for fresh water supply. Their medicinal, educational, religious needs should also be considered important. Another thing you find the citizens complaining about is limited entertainment; so keep that in mind too.
4544 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Well, it won't work at all. I put it in my console, and nothing. I looked it over carefully to make sure I didn't buy some...knock off, but it even has etched trademarks, ext. It doesn't recognize the disk at all. So I went to the Activision site to see if I could find some help on this game. And this is what they said...
6207 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It is really a shame that this game was never updated for windows XP. You can run most of the features, but the practice shooting range no longer works and this is an important feature. You need to practice to do well in solving the puzzles. I wrote to them a while back but they showed no interest in providing a fix. I guess they made their money and don't care.
Characters : 9.7/10
-Graphics may be a turn off to some
You can also practice some of the stages of the game, trying for the best time. If you persist in this, you can unlock luigi. It is always good to get practice.
The monkeys are also very annoying Also, some of the moves can be difficult for young kids to pull off. The final two levels are really difficult to defeat, and defeating the evil Clayton is really difficult.
So the game itself has a tendency to be a bit clunky, people used to pressure sensitive controls will be frustrated at the fact that you can't simply tilt the left thumbstick slightly to walk silent. Instead this is accomplished by lightly tapping the D-pad. That's right, this game requires the use of the D-pad.
Every so often a vampire enters a state of change and evolves. Raziel sprouted bat like wings, and in what seemed like a jealous rage Kain tore the wings from his back and ordered Raziel to be executed. But that is only beginning. Centuries later, Raziel awakens, battered, torn, and not even a shadow of his former glory. A mysterious entity calls to him and orders him to exact his revenge on Kain. The story is pretty straight forward compared to Blood Omen, and Soul Reavor 2, it's still a story of epic proportions but not as good as it's prequel and sequel. Still it's integral to the over all story. If you haven't played it yet shame on you, but get the Dreamcast or PC version.
1715 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 good
6148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Where to start...well, I know I won't make a catch all neanderthal statement to the effect that this is the best game ever, (that is until the NEXT best game ever comes along), because it isn't. Freespace accomplishes many things by providing a solid story line to back up very impressive game play. Where Freespace might lack is in two small areas-lack of creativity for naming of vessels within the GTVN and the fact that no military structure would allow or stand for the sniveling and back talk that gets carried over in the com-traffic between fighters and capital ships. But these are minor quibbles to what lies in store for the player. Freespace 2 offers an expansive campaign with several missions that lead you from a civil war led by Admiral Aken Bosch (voice of Ronny Cox from Robocop & Total Recall), and his Neo-Terran Front faction to a resurgence of activity care of the Shivans, whom Bosch has somehow brokered a deal with. Where the missions shine is the player is never lacking anything to do, and the game borrows from both the Wing Commander and Star Wars games in mission design. However, unlike the other space combat sims, Freespace 2 never suffers from the worry of having to be all over the map in order to accomplish a mission. The flight model is much improved over the original game, though I think the GTVN fighters could be a little faster, even without the afterburners. Flight dynamics are second to none, the ships responsive, especially with a good joystick. Fighter choice, weapons and missiles are in good supply, and each have their different effects, though I would have preferred a little more discretion in outfitting my fighter in early missions. Graphically, Freespace 2 is very strong, whether it be the detail on the various fighters to the overwhelming scale of the capital ships, especially the Sathanas-class juggernaught (which I think gains its inspiration from the Vorlon vessels from Babylon 5). However, it's the little things you notice that really make the game, like when you fire at ship and miss, your weapons' discharge flashes over the ship hull with a visible light effect, the visual and aural effect of a capital ship's flak guns as you do a strafing attack across it's surface (you quickly learn how to skin dance across the hulls of these big beasts) or the spectacular nebula effects of the later missions as you pilot your way through pea soup-like gas clouds. Ship design is also better than in the first game as they play up the more insectile forms of the Shivan fighters, whereas in the first they resembled awkwardly placed slabs arrayed in different angles. Human and Vasudan fighters are a mixed bag, but they all have a functional look about them, and have much less of a polished look than either Wing Commander or the Star Wars. Boiled down in it's essence, Freespace 2 is a solid shoot-em-up type game, carried on thanks to a solid game engine, and exceptional graphic design and terrific 3D support (I have 16 meg Voodoo 3000). This is all enhanced by a great interface that doesn't over complicate the flow of the game or game play. This is not the best game ever, as no game can claim that crown. However, it is the best of the current crop of space combat sims. It easily outclasses X-Wing Alliance, and I feel that Lucas Arts really needs to rethink how they design their game missions, because in XWA, you are flying practically the same missions you flew in X-Wing & TIE Fighter. Freespace 2 gives you a vast playground that is not merely beautiful, but ultimately function and very rewarding.
Killer Instinct was worth picking up back in 1995 and is still worth playing to this very day. Those of you who want to take a chance on this better find a used copy as this game is expensive to buy as a new product. So if you still got your SNES and it works, definitely check this out. And if you can, buy the soundtrack as well; it's pretty good.
-Lower difficulties aren't much fun, highest difficulty is brutally hard
The scenerios range from what feels like a demo of new features. For example, when the cannons first appear, you get one scenerio defending a pass. I didn't ahve to do anything as the cannon fire wiped out that attackers that kept charging into the guns.
176 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm revising my earlier review. i had only rated my transaction 3 stars previously due to shipping problems. After the seller contacted me to do what they could to help with the problem I have to reconsider. They contacted me promptly and went above and beyond in their effort to make me happy. Thank you. This was the second case I've purchased and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks again.
Suikoden 2 is nothing like the first release, well there are 108 Characters but that is just a part of Suikoden in general so no big deal, just makes it that much more fun. The story line in this one is Amazing as for the characters I would recommend going back and playing the first. You will enjoy and appreciate this game much more.
4521 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 OK, first off, I'd like to say that Um Jammer Lammy is a great game. But ONLY for a select few. Some people might be turned off by the 2D graphics and cute characters, and it can be frustrating to time yourself while "playing" the guitar. At first I could only get through the levels on the Easy mode, but after a while everything gets easier.
Avoid this game like the plague. The cars and graphics may look better but you will have a better time beating your head against a wall that playing this game. the endings and stories are not as good, the play control is awful. The challenge is way to high because of cheap tactics. The radar is not really helpful. All in All it is the worst game in the series. I hated this game save your money or just buy the Twisted Metal 1 or 2.
61 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A must have for all Zelda & Link fans. Neat, easy to use & read, colorful, rich in text & content.
8. Wreck Of The Mario Doria
Although as of the time of this writing this game shows it's age. Graphics are pixelated at best, character animation are a bit shoddy. However, what this game still has in spades is an epic story, the gameplay is a bit linear compared to modern games, however I defy a first timer to tell me the procure on site, and survival aspects of this game aren't thrilling.
So you can spend $15 or more for a memory chip or $4 for a memory chip, but you are 99.9% likely to receive the same chip, just wrapped in a different box.
5849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As I moved closer to age 40, I began looking for games that were comprised of more than just shoot-em-up as fast as you can and keep-your-heart-racing-until-your-chest-explodes! During the last few years I've played SimCity 2000 & 3000, Civilization II, Civilization Call to Power, Settlers III, Caesar II and Caesar III.

3201 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm make this short and sweet. This is the greatest fighting game ever. And this is a DC exclusive and will forever be one of the best DC games ever. It has everything I love about fighting games. First off the visuals are just so juicy. Not as sharp as SC2 but still great visuals even for this time of the year. The game has some really great things added to this DC version such as a mission mode, it's like a story mode, what you do is buy art galleries to start new mission, trust me it'll keep you in for weeks especially since it's for EVERY CHARACTER! The game has some other neat things added to this game such as

2808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't recommend this game enough. You walk away smarter.
750 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit, it's not as enjoyable (at least to me) as Tomb Raider 1 & 2. This game does have much larger and more in depth worlds than the previous installments, but the fact that you can choose the order in which you complete the three worlds in between the first & last (something that, on the surface, is a pretty cool idea) makes me feel like, if I'm having trouble in one area, I'm wasting my time. I'd have to guess the reason is I love to see the level designs for the different regions & if I can go wherever I want, there's no real reward in completing anything.
Interesting enough, the reason Capcom did not make this game for the Genesis was because the license to make games based on Disney movies had just expired and Virgin Interactive stepped in to make it for Sega. That game turned out to be totally different and received positive reviews and feedback from players. You can't go wrong with either version. But for those who want to check out the SNES version, it's worth buying it for young players but it may not hold the interest of older gamers long enough.
And the game is tight. The controls are very well done. You can easily master the fast maneuvers to co-ordinate with the necessary actions and specific spacing needed. You'll get frustrated in some hard areas, but you will be able to play fast and risky (just kind of show off) or you can play slow and cautious. It's all up to you and if you want to take your time and get through it with as few attempts as possible or if you want to just try to fly through an area and risk killing yourself a lot. Sometimes luck favors the brave.
2615 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this as a valintines day gift for a friend. All I can say is nostalgia. One thing to look out for when you buy these is to make sure it comes with the battry door and that they've tested it and it works.
9902 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I would say that video games don't come much simpler than this bore but the likes of Pong and Pac-Man, while less technically sophisticated are still better. Golden Axe 2 is such a chore to play with no fun or enjoyment injected into the proceedings whatsoever.
The real highlight of the game, though, is the special stage. Collect 50 or more rings in an act and jump through the giant gold ring at the end, and you were transported into a 360 degree rotating maze in search for one of the 6 chaos emeralds. The colors in this stage would make a hippie proud, and were unimgainable on the NES or Master system.
Interrelated with the exploratory aspect of the game is the downright dark and haunting atmosphere of Silent Hell. In addition to the town and its many streets, you will have to search a few buildings that Harry suspects his daughter to be. Imagine treading alone the dark halls of a rundown elementary school, or the dank rooms of a deserted hospital, or beneath the streets of an abandoned waterworks. Imagine visiting a soulless amusement park at night where the spinning rides are devoid of any occupants. Occasionally the sleeping, haunted town goes into a deep REM state, where buildings and streets and hallways shape shift. Doors that were not there before are there now. Streets that led one way go another. At first, you may blame this on your own inattentiveness, but eventually the changes of things will become too obvious for you to so easily blame yourself. Walls formerly white will appear charred and rusted, adorned with strung up corpses. The monsters become even more monstrous during these transformations. Regular streets turn into metal gratings, and through the gaps you can look into an endless void as if the whole town is just a floating ROCK teetering on the edge of reality and someone's nightmarish delusions. And somewhere in this madness is your daughter, and what's left of Harry's sanity, which he himself comes to question.

Christopher's slowness in this title (and its sequel) makes Simon Belmont's hunched back and slow gait appear like a semi barrelling down the road, whereas Christopher is perhaps the man trying to push a tractor trailer down the road. Suffice to say that he's very slow - hyperbole aside, he seems to move at roughly half the speed of Simon.

Diablo 2 was fun for a while. Not a long while like Neverwinter Nights, but a little while. I didn't make it too far into the game because I lost track of the plot, and the game itself was far too repetitive. Every battle seemed to be the same, and it was all too easy. The battel system was just point and click, and there was no strategy to it at all. I know, this is just supposed to be a hack and slash, but it fails even at that.
If you want to get the Pokemon Jigglypuff all you have to do is beat the game one time and then you will face JigglyPuff in a battle. If you beat JigglyPuff you will be able to use her in the game.

And of course no zombies here...oh no, Dinos! Much faster than those old creepy zombies. The game environments were excellent and the music really added to the atmosphere. It's definitely in the "style" of a late 90s Resident Evil game, which is a good thing.

Amber: Journeys Beyond is a first person adventure game with somewhat simple graphics and animation... but at the same time the plot and story hold your interest. The premise is that you are 'checking up as a favor to a friend' on a woman who bought a haunted house so she could study the paranormal. She uses a headset called the Amber device so she can observe the ghosts and actually travel in the spirit realm. When you find her she's in a catatonic state, trapped outside of her body with no way of geting back.

4285 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As the game host..., I was eager to get my hands on this gamewhen it game out. Like Pharoh and Caesar III, this is a game ofdesigning buildings and walkways to keep your people happy. In this case the people are not residents, although with some staying in your park for 60 days or more, you have to wonder where they are sleeping! And, like all games, you start with rather easy missions and work your way forward.
Needless to say, I was quite pleased with the final product of Soul Reaver. No, it isn't the same as Blood Omen, but it is highly enjoyable on its own merit. My only complaint was the lack of fluidity of the controls, but this is a minor annoyance at MOST. I would recommend this game to ANYONE, period. You won't be disappointed...
7793 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While N64 fans were happily busy playing Goldeneye 007, Rare surprised everyone by releasing their own kart racing game in 1997 called Diddy Kong Racing. Blending adventure elements with the racing elements Mario Kart 64 was known for, Rare's Mario Kart clone was a good effort but it has since sparked a furious debate as to whether it was better than Nintendo's game.
Silent Hill features the entire layout of the town of Silent Hill. The buildings, the streets, the signposts, mailboxes, benches, trees, and everything else are all carved out for you to explore. It features an array of strange, twisted enemies to fight, and a small stock of different weapons you can use to defeat them with. But most important of all, the scenarios become twisted and nightmarish as night falls, and you jump into another dimension with scenes so frightening, you'll just be thankful you're not Harry himself.
I'm awaiting the new Devil's Bridge add-on coming around the end of the month which will take the campaigns to locales like Greece, Poland and Battle of the Buldge. This add-on includes 9 new missions across 3 huge campaigns.
1495 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I know this will sound crazy, but the main reason I finally broke down and purchased a Playstation several years ago was because I wanted to play some of the wrestling games available for this particular console. For whatever reason, no one has ever come close to producing a decent wrestling game for the PC. At the time, I was a serious wrestling fan, having been drawn back to the fold by the brilliant internal division in WCW between the good guys and the evil NOW. WCW Thunder came out while the WCW was at its peak of popularity, and I just had to have it. While the game has naturally lost some of its luster as time has passed and gaming hardware improved, it had all sorts of enticing features then and remains a fun diversion even now.
6692 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When the Game Boy was released in 1989, fans everywhere went to buy it in droves and along came some very good games for the handheld system. And hot off the success of the NES Mario games, Nintendo released Super Mario Land soon after and it sold very well. While the game itself is short compared to the NES games, Mario's first SMB inspired game was still good enough to pick up and play.

9943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 an awesome entry in the Castlevania series, and one of the BEST Genesis games ever!
This is a game that has aged gracefully. Yes it's on an old system, but the art design and music still hold up well like the classic Mario titles, and gameplay is solid. A masterful experience thats supplemented quite well by its sequel, Banjo Tooie.
Cloud and Tifa's hometown seems more like the setting of a psychological horror film than a JRPG village. Nibelheim is where you'd end up if you took a wrong exit while driving to Silent Hill. It's the backdrop for Final Fantasy VII's most disturbing events and lies at the very core of Cloud's delusions. Even scarier is the notion that somebody could watch their neighborhood burning and their friends and family slaughtered, then come back two years later to find everything standing exactly as it was before, populated by strangers who insist nothing ever happened.
I started out as a warrior, because that's usually the easiest character to play in these adventure/RPG hybrid games, since you have plenty of brawn to hack and slash your way through the foes, while toting about practically everything you come across. It soon became apparent that enough money to enable purchase of the really cool stuff is hard to come by, especially if you want to keep your weapons and armour in good shape. Even if you tote about all you can carry, it doesn't raise much when you get to a shop. Also, one of the areas is practically impossible to negotiate without ranged weapons, which are prohibitively expensive, and you don't find many on corpses or in chests. The warrior has no magic skills at all and is dependent on food and potions for healing and curing. You can only carry a limited amount at once and you always seem to run out at critical moments.
It takes a bit of ingenuity to outwit the many other oline players when it comes to design, for design is ultimately what kills or gets you killed. -to do so you must balance weapons, armor, armor type, chasis type, engine and equipement to devise the most lethal mech you can...and hope it's better than your opponents.
SML is one of the few games that prove that even the game with the smallest length can succeed. There's only 12 levels, not counting the harder quest (Yup. This game has a harder quest like in SMB).
This is the story: You are a scientist named Gordan Freeman, and you made a accident at the Black Mesa Reasearch center, causing all these alien hordes to enter the facility. The goverment sent forces to kill everything at the facility. You must try to save your own skin.
6. Chocolate land(89%)A massive level, but a bit hard.
389 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 husband loves it so I love it too
all in all, i would shell out 15 dollars just to watch someone play it, the storyline is so good. the only game that can beat this one story wise is FFVI, but this is a really good game with very good gameply (even though its a little too easy)
8th Best Improvement: It's easier to collect gems, and there's a new addition, crystals.
I hope.
3866 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not that many golf games in the video game industry can actually sell very, very well. Most of them use a major player's name, and suppose to have their "skills" in the process. Not that many of them can have a strong sense of enjoyment in the golf world, where everyone wants a more serious side in the sports world with football, and basketball. However, Nintendo seemed to hit the nail on the head with their 2000 creation.
Not necessarily replayable, but great for at least a test drive.
Graphics: 9.5/10. Awesomely different and creative worlds. From a sewer, to a pirate ship on an island, to a desert and into an icy snowland, there are tons of different and unique worlds to play through. The graphics are stellar for the N64, with bright colors and cool characters with good animations. This is one of the best N64 games as far as graphics go next to games like Donkey Kong 64 and Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
I had fun with this game. It kinda pissed me off cause you didn't get to do all the stuff you can do in the PC version But I still liked it. Over all it's a mediocer version.
7821 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Exelent!!
Kingpin is built on the heavily modified quake2 engine. I play it on the default OpenGL video mode and the game runs very smooth. The graphics are fantastic, look great even today. The charecter animation is good but thier flesh moves as if they do not have any skeleton. Sound is very good, weapon sounds and the music is great. The voice acting is averange and almost all the male charecters sound the same. The art direction for each levels is superb, artists who did it should get an award for their contribution, kingpin has the best art direction in a computer game even today. Wow! fantastic environments look real and the atmosphere is superb. Kingpin is a very violent game, you could see arms and limbs comming off, baddies injured and running away will leave a trail of blood. the level of violace and langauge make games like sof look like a kids game, you can reduce them by installing the pg-13 version. There are lots of bad words you will hear the f-word hundred times in the first level itself. The AI is quite good, villans react well in situation. Kingpin is a very good game, If you do not mind games with heavy violance and bad words then you will surely like it. It is one of the realistic and coolest fps i have ever played.
5325 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GTA 2 has always stood out to me from all the other GTA games. This game has a bird eye view and the controls are a bit different, but something about it just stands out from the games that came out later in the series, and it stands out in all the right ways.

1079 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fans of any oldschool dungeon crawler should snap this game up. In a similar style to other games of the time, you assume the roll of a monster hunter with a mission to climb a mysterious tower following in your father's footsteps.
So why 4-stars?
7560 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Kids love it
The Story is great. you have to see it to understand, but yes it is the usual mad guy who wants to blow up the world. The Problem is that that story is used alot in HollyWood but not nearly enough in Games.
If you like real time strategy games, this is a must have. I'd also like to say that of all the games I've played so far by this company, I've never been disappointed. They're all high quality in my opinion, and Starcraft is certainly no exception.
2. It is challenging.
- This Genesis version better utilizes the launching cow. Every so often the cow will make a surprise appearance in the sky. In the Super NES version it only happens in two spots that I know of (For Pete's Sake and the final stage) and nowhere else. The cow even appears at a most interesting spot while exploring the Down the Tubes level in this version, which is surprisingly funny! The cow even makes a "moo!" sound as he passes through the sky, whereas on the Super NES he's completely quiet and subtle.
The only issue I had was with the 'C' turbo switch, it wasn't as tight as all the other switches. It seems to work fine, but I hope it holds up over time. Also note that the turbo switches don't auto fire as soon as you flip them - when switched on they allow you to hold down the main buttons for auto fire/turbo game play.
894 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 work as advertised.
As with the other Zelda games, this one is filled with different puzzles of various types, most of which you MUST complete in order to advance in the game. They are engaging, but not too difficult to figure out, for the most part. There are a few, though, that I had a tough time with. Not to fear, though, there is plenty of help out there, both in books and on the internet, to aid you through those difficult spots. The controls are wonderfully intuitive. Navigating through Hyrule is much like controlling Mario in Super Mario 64 (and the game does, at times, suffer from awkward camera angles like Mario did), and there are good tutorials in the game itself that teach you the ins and outs of fighting monsters and defending yourself.
460 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I personally like many types of fighting games and FUN is the thing that keeps me coming back for more. A game can have pretty graphics sound great, and have all the bells and whistles in the world and still play like [...]. This game might not be as pretty as the Saturn version, but who wants a Saturn? One of the biggest flops since the future flop of Sony's [...]PS3. A few frames missing and slowdown which I have not experienced personally are by no means reasons to dismiss a game that combines X-men with Streetfighter very well. One more thing to mention about the price. Not to insult anyones intelligence but simply supply and demand. It is discontinued, there are fewer and fewer copies available thus causing those on the open market to raise in value.
3958 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This thing is very comfortable, for the week or so that it works! Like some of the other reviewers, and other people I know that own these, the Z button is a BIG problem. After the week or so that I said it will work, the Z button caves in, and there is no real way to get it out. I tried taking it apart. and it didn't really help. The rest of the controller, however, was better than the original. But many games can't be played (at least to their fullest) without the Z button! It might be more comfortable and accessible, but it's still a horrible product! What a joke. InterAct should be ashamed. FOR GOD SAKES, BUY THE REAL CONTROLLER!!!
9354 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it !
The mode and track selection is very nice, offering a nice variety of tracks and available modes. The tracks offer beautiful scenery, sometimes very big jumps, jumping over cars, and a lot more.
6990 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'll be honest: I rather dislike the whole Nintendo-style gameas a genre (of which this most certainly is a part), and as a PC user accustomed to buying games in [a lower] range it kills me to pay .....for just about =any= video game. But then, I didn't get it for me, I got it for my four-year-old son. Unfortunately, it's too hard for him so I end up playing through the hard sequences. He's just about to turn five, and he'll probably have it mastered by the time he's six. But clearly, it's not for the easily frustrated child (or adult).
Each has their own special personality that I love. Barrett being my favorite. His attitude and swearing habits are possibly the funniest thing in the game. I usually keep him in my party just for that reason. Cloud is stubborn, but not as funny. Tifa's got that hair thing going(like I just mentioned). Aeris is kind of boring and dies too early in the game to get to know her a lot more than you do. Red XII.....he's a dog? Cid, another character who can't control his mouth. Yuffie....some ninja girl that really serves no more meaning than a side quest. Vincent, amazing character who can morph into creatures. And Cait Sith....wait a minute, he's a toy? O.O;;;
Lates..
3097 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My favorite character is Sephiroth. He also makes an appearance in "kingdom Hearts" as the toughest boss in the game.(but i beat him!)
5087 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For those of you who like 3D Action games for the lighting-fast deathmatch play, UT will not disappoint. I enjoyed playing the bots several times, on varying skill levels. However, once I finished Assault mode and Deathmatch, I was left realizing what is missing from UT and Q3A: depth. There is no depth to either game. The flimsy backstories are Mortal Kombat-esque justifications... insufficient plot, insufficient single-player experience. Legend Entertainment has already proven that single player action is not dead with the Wheel of Time, so why have Epic and Id abandoned it? For a much more engrossing online gaming experience, try the Team Fortress Classic mod for Half-Life. And then, if you're really feeling brave, go get Quake1 and Quake2 and explore the wealth of awesome multiplay mods out there. UT will only fulfill for so long.
5376 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MK4 IS A SUPERIOR FIGHTING GAME. MY MOUTH IS WATERING FOR MORTAL KOMBAT DEADLY ALLIANCE. THE PS1 VERSION IS A LIL' SLOWER THAN THE N64 VERSION. HOWEVER THIS GAME LOSES NO POINTS FOR THAT. GREAT!!
10 out of 10.
5677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great series of a great role playing game . Get the series for extended play. Great for kids 5 to 15.
Chronologically, "Yoshi's Island" takes place very early on in Mario's history. Given how each Zelda title keeps going further and further back, one is hesitant to call "Yoshi's Island" the first Mario game in-series, though how much further back can you go than when Mario and Luigi are babies? This game also famously introduces Kamek, a Magi-Koopa, who would later become a major character in his own right as Bowser's premier councilor, the Consigliere (to borrow a term from "The Godfather") of the Koopa Clan. Kamek kidnaps Baby Luigi, and it is up to a number of different Yoshis to reunite Baby Mario and Baby Yoshi.
Sonic--good
The Bad: Some glitches, load times are annoying, can be very hard and cheap, Aggressor meter is not implemented well
9706 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Excellent stuff here. Very good graphics, simple interface, and the lowest learning curve I've seen since Diablo. Remember those old commercials for the board game Othello? "Easy to learn... hard to master." Describes this to a T. My only real problem with it is that the AI seems as if it could be a little more intuitive; places you think your sims will walk don't, and sometimes sims will stroll right by a non-operational place without working there in a city with 25% unemployment. (Drives me up the wall...) But adapting yourself to the AI is rather like being a free-verse poet and writing sonnets; eventually, you'll pick up the nuances. Highly recommended.
There were a few games that were required on SEGA Genesis, Any of the Sonics and Spinball, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast, the uncensored Mortal Kombat, Moonwalker and of course Golden Axe. Now that you know which ones you must get, start with this one and enjoy!
The problem with Cortex Strikes Back is it isn't as polished as you'd expect. I don't mean this in a superficial way like graphic fidelity (which is superb for when it was released) but a "streamline all the cheap-shots out of the experience" way. The level of cheapness ingrained in Crash 2's gameplay is simply astounding and it comes from a variety of places. Things like the hit detection on the belly flop are in dire need of work and the bonus areas are usually the furthest thing from fun when that's the exact opposite of what they should be. Worse yet are the game's hidden paths which are essentially sorry excuses to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the player. The kicker to is just when you think you're done and your guard is down - that's when they throw the kitchen sink at you.

The PROS: If you thought Donkey Kong Country was an awesome game, then this sequel blows it out of the water completely! Everything that made DKC great is here for DKC2 and more stuff was added: new worlds plus a secret one, more stages with more depth and variety, new Kong characters and friendly animals along with some old favorites, more stuff to collect doubling its replay value and even more codes to discover. It's also a lot harder so don't be surprised to replay certain stages more than once.
Other than the language barrier, this game is still an amazing play :)
Excellent product.
3107 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 FF7 was my first game to play from FF. Great graphics, very mundane story, and the mini games were very well worth it. This game should be added towards your FF collection.

With alot of bad guys and 10 hard to beat levels,and don't forget our stars of the game,a brave,kicking butt little girl,Carrie. And a brave young whipping man,Reinhardt. This game will keep you on your tippy toes. You explore an old huge house,Dracula's castle,the forest,and even places you would only see in your nightmares. This game is for 11 and up due to strong bloody violence. Great music and setting. This is a game you can sink your teeth into!

Released in 1999, FF VIII was the next in a long line of FF games. It had a more futuristic setting than any FF before it, and Squaresoft was really looking to try something new. You no longer equip new armor or accessories to your characters; instead, there is something new and different called the "Junction system." You can Junction magic and GF's (Guardian Forces; the Summons in FF VIII) to your characters, which in turn will increase your stats and allow you to summon the GF's, which will teach skills. The GF's can level up as well.
5892 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Stunning graphics coupled with very clumsy controls make this game a feast for the eyes but a major bust when it comes to engrossing game play. In a world dominated by such near master works as Lucas Arts' Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, different is not necessarily better and the third person perspective Nocturne offers is as creepy as the games beautifully dark images and spine tingling story line. I suppose the object was to give Nocturne a cinematic edge offered by some of Hollywood's best horror/thrillers, but cutting from place to place using numerous movie angels as our gruff but hardly lovable anti-hero "Stranger" runs through each scene (ground level, over-head, etc) trying to mow down swooping and snarling creatures of the night, simply doesn't work here and would likely earn any film student a solid D for effort! With one additional option, first person perspective (or even second person), this might have been a great game, without it, Nocturne swiftly becomes little more than a tedious test of your 20/20 vision and manual dexterity. Bottom line, if you can get it cheap (one major home electronics store recently had it on sale for $9.99), or can borrow it from a friend, check it out for it's amazing cutting edge eye candy. But just like any fine work of art hanging in some posh museum, you'll pause to consider Nocturne's brilliant textures, along with it's use of light and shadow but eventually you'll move on to something much more stimulating and rewarding, like an amusement park.

8665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was ans still is the best. the racing game is pure fun. all there features that were available at the time in 1992. because back then when i was 14 that was all the techonlogy we had at the time . on here you can choose from i think 8 racers. Mario ,Luigi toad. koopa troopa. who i also love his finsihing music(koopa troopa) and donkey kong Jr. Bowser king koopa and more. the best tracks tome are vanilla lake, choco island. Mario cirucit, and donut plains and Ghost valley and last but certainly not least is rainbow Road .i mean this had to be good this is the Mario Kart game that started it all. so go out and buy this game now.......did you ya buy it yet?? lol!
3172 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy 7 is another excellent game made by Squaresoft. The same company that made Bushido Blade and Saga Frontier. It was the reason many people bought the Playstations they own and defiantly the one of the best during the year it came out.

There is ALWAYS something new to find, and many races and somewhat minigames that are actually entertaining and not ultimately annoy you.
This game WILL scare you. As you fall into the world you'll start to jump at every bump and hiss around you... and if you hear a monkey chattering you'll probably start trying to shoot evrtything in sight.
It all depends, if you just want to fly throug the game without the secrets and stuff, this will be a piece of cake, but, trying to get all the relics in platinum, then get ready with a lot of patience!!!! This is were the game grows to a greater difficulty or a real game.

THE BAD:

3846 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 System Shock 2 follows many conventions of a role-playing game, with considerable first-person action involved. Like "Thief" (whose engine was used to create "System Shock 2"), the objective is not necessarily to kill everything in sight, but to achieve the required goals. You play a new recruit onboard a starship fighting against alien viruses and the ship's evil main computer. You start with some initial skills of your choice and are given chances to improve your skills as the games progresses. The goals you need to achieve range from mundane to complicated: locating crucial items, unlocking rooms, restore power to equipments, hacking into terminals, scouring dead astronauts' journals for clues, collecting chemicals from laboratories that enable you to research on technologies that help you combat your enemies, find tools that repair and maintain your weapons, and so on. My favorite puzzle is finding pieces of a secret code hidden among the numerous video screens on one of the levels.
That's how I got my Zelda OOT to work with the GameShark with codes. If you're still having problems, try cleaning
Oh, and one fast note for new players: The hardest part of the game is the opening. To maximize your survival chances, make your starting character a wizard of life, then on your first four turns, attack four level one dungeons. Then use all your resources to hire mercenaries and attack the great temple.
8035 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first played this game as a child, I instantly fell in love with it. What's better than than a Doom-styled Star Wars game with a hint of Duke Nukem 3D? I say it's a great idea(except for Duke Nukem because it did come later), yet every great game is not with out its flaws. The graphics are quite blocky, but who really cares. The game also can have pretty choppy frame rate which actually can take away the gaming experience away from the game to some players, but overall, this game should be experienced by everyone!
This game took me over sixty hours to play my first time I played adventure mode. It's long and there are some really difficult and frustrating levels, and when you finish getting a tough golden banana you feel like that it took you ten years. But it's so much fun that you keep playing it until you finish the game.
3442 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got it in great condition. No cracks on my case and it look great! Thank you!
- EXTREMELY poor AI. It's possible for your units to be destroyed by friendly fire. Perhaps Pandemic should've cut and pasted the AI routines from the first game. Advice for new players - NEVER put any of your vehicles in front of a gun tower!
Graphically, "Thousand Arms" has standard yet amazing PSX-graphics. Unlike the PSX "Final Fantasy" games, environments aren't pre-rendered backgrounds but a living, breathing world, somewhat like the one seen in "FFX". But the game still manages to look different because of its anime-style characters. The FMV cutscenes feel like a wacky anime series, and the excellent opening seems to only solidify this feeling. Characters in the main screen are sprites, but in battle they become fully realized characters, albeit somewhat flat ones.
Hell, if you like first-person shooters, and can nab this for under 10 bucks, get it anyways. You won't be disappointed.
*SPOILERS OVER*
One thing I gotta point out is that there is no Candy's Save Point in this game. Instead, you'd be able to save your progress by collecting the K-O-N-G letters in a level.
2792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far my favorite out of the Myst series. Before I knew better, I cheated to get to the ending, looking at walkthroughs. Unfortunately, it's not like you can 'undo' that memory in your head, and I've forever ruined the game in my eyes. The two biggie puzzles in this game involve clues from the whole game you've explored up to that point. I wish I had taken the time to fully appreciate their solution and not cheat.
Even if you ignore the bonus levels, the challenge overall is pretty high anyway thanks to all the difficult stages (such as the one where you're crossing a bridge way up in the sky and continue falling through the wooden cracks- a NIGHTMARE of a level!) All the lives you earned up to this point in the game will go away. A mascot debut game shouldn't have the difficulty THIS high because the idea is for players of ALL ages to enjoy the game. Children will not like the nonstop frustration.

Enemies are also more intelligent than in RE games, as they would need to be, and will chase you through doors and follow your trail of blood. They are all also more agile than those in RE and so those encounters you cannot avoid are made even more visceral.
The plot goes something like this - King K. Rool has another scheme. He's taken all of Donkey Kong's precious golden bananas and kidnapped all his friends. You'll have to navigate through a series of levels, rescuing different characters in each of them, unlocking golden bananas as you go, to eventually reach the final stage. Each level has its own boss which are usually the best part of the level. To reach the boss, you'll have to collect a certain number of regular bananas (scattered throughout the level, different from golden bananas). A certain number of golden bananas unlocks a new level. If you ever want to complete the game, you'll have to rescue all of Donkey's companions. Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky Kong all await you in the first three levels. Meanwhile, you buy instruments from Candy, potions from Cranky, and Weapons from Funky. All these can be upgraded. The things you buy, especially Cranky's potions, will give you abilities that are essential to collecting all the golden bananas. There are also various barrel mini games that you must complete in order to finally get the banana.
Donkey Kong 64 doesn't come up in any of these if you haven't noticed by now, and for good reason. It's slow, pokey, and not really all that fun. Which is really a problem after the success of the Donkey Kong Country trilogy.

9759 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Gran-daddy of racing simulations for the PlayStation has a second childhood with Gran Turismo 2. With tons more tracks, cars and options this time around, it has the makings of being a virtual racers' dream, but can GT2 live up to the original?
Another problem in Super Mario World is that if you want to get a perfect score (96) you not only have to reach the goal in every single level, but you also have to find and grab a key in certain levels (but not all levels have keys). This means you have to go through many levels a SECOND time. It's sort of boring. Once is enough. The concept of collecting keys wasn't a good one. I guess the good part is that if you are wearing a cape, you can quickly fly through the levels (except for water levels, and any level where the screen pushes you to the right) but that's not fun either because all you do is continue flying and pushing the back button to stay up high in the air until you reach the goal (or the key). However, at the end of the day none of this is really enough to make the game bad in any way. I just get tired of it.
The release date for the Dreamcast was getting closer and closer. It was in September of 1999. People were still very happy with their Playstation One because 1999 was one of Sony's highlights for spectacular and revolutionary gaming. That wasn't the only thing going on. Sony fans were also anticipating the release of the Playstation 2, which was guaranteed to become the dominant console thanks to the relentless power and popularity the Playstation One was responsible for. It was during this time Sony was far and away the most powerful company in the video game business. Sega saw trouble ahead but continued to move forward with the expected Dreamcast release date.
This game has a rich story line, superb game play, great graphics, awesome movie cut-aways that are truly stunning, and an increased array of characters to use. The character skill progressions are much more diverse as well, and call into play some real strategy and forward thinking. I especially love the Necromancer who can summon skeletons, golems, etc. to fight along side him. The attention to detail on the characters look is also very satisfying, whatever you wear directly influences your characters appearance on the screen, unlike the first game, where the look was somewhat generic. You can also hire NPC's to fight along side of you at various stages of the game, which also adds depth.
I would HIGHLY recomend this for anyone who loves building games!!!!
This is my first game by Sierra and I am totally addicted to it. I still have to try out the others. All in all it's a great game. Nothing less can be said about it.
Just like the GameBoy,there is a very small screen. This is a problem,if your sitting down. The Nintendo GameBoy Advanced fixed this. It has a larger screen. The GBC,also has no BackLight,so it's hard to see it too. Also,the 8-bit graphics might be good for newer gamers. They don't appreciate it. Too bad. It's really not a bad system. It's a classic,it deserves respect. It also has good games,and simple little tunes. For a newer gamer,I can't recommend this. But,if you like to collect game systems,get this one. Besides,it's worth the time playing it.
A Listing of Structural Symmetries between SNES Zelda and Zelda 64
It was a sad fact but true...Sega had finally stopped and Ps2 had won but like most reviewers said....Popularity...
Nintendo had Mario but then Sega launched their own mascot Sonic.
The levels are huge and well-designed....it's fun exploring every possible nook and cranny in each of the levels.
UPDATE:
Sound and Music: 9.5/ 10.0 It is like a carbon copy of Ocarina of Time, and the suspensful music is very catchy. The game has great music, ALL ZELDA GAMES HAVE GREAT MUSIC.
All in all, this was a good game, though it is not for everyone.
Story- 10/10
2183 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 They work as advertised, games that require an expansion pack will work with this.
So, if you're thinking about buying one game this summer, make it Max Payne. It's an instant classic that is sure to go down in PC history as one of the greatest. It's that good.
The object of DK3 is the same as DK1 and 2. You need to beat every level and world in the game. After each world there is a boss that is more challenging than the regular places in the world. But in DK3 you need to collect all of the bonus coins and DK coins as well as beat every level to beat the game which makes the game more fun and challenging. You also need to collect all of the banana birds. You need to find them in special areas in cove's by playing a game similar to Simon where different lights light up in different orders and you have to repeat it in the same order.
7565 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still love playing these old N64 games (and NES and SNES games for that matter) I had a lot of fun with this game in the past and always will.
1579 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yep, I can remember back in the day when the Playstation just came out and this was the first game i got back when the PS1 games came in those bulky cardboard cases instead of the smaller jewel cases. Well, this game is still a blast to play after all these years and is easily one of my favorite games of all time. This one had all the perfect levels and the perfect balance of characters set in a darker tone than the other games had besides TM:Black of course. I liked how each level had some destructible environments as well as the inside cockpit view in the cars. The stories for each of the characters were all interesting and made you want to play through with each character. Overall, this is a great game that will have you playing for quite a while and while your at it, check out TM2 which is an amazing game as well. You should especially check this one out if your a newer fan to the series and want to see the games roots.
Look for the Squaresoft logo and black discs!!
- There is two versions of this game in one version the female playable character is called Aeris and in another it is called Aerith (note this is the same character)
The PROS: There is a very good reason on why this game was and still is cherished as one of the finest RPGs ever made for the SNES. It's that every element of this game works well and compliments each other. The graphics feature colorful backgrounds and scenery & fully rendered characters all under a "bird's eye view" set in 3/4 overhead perspective. The sounds, including audio tracks and sound effects, fit the mood nicely. The story is told very well, as if you are playing a Final Fantasy game mixed with the Nintendo brand humor that will have you laughing at what happens. Plus, this game is loaded with references from past Mario games and nods to Final Fantasy games (including an appearance from a well known enemy from the Final Fantasy world, if you know where to find him.) The game play is taken entirely from past Final Fantasy games so anyone who has played them will feel right at home; new RPG players like myself will catch on pretty quickly. That's because the controls are easy to use once you learn all the buttons and pay attention to prompts in the game on how to fight, etc. This game is also long and challenging so prepare to fight, fight and fight and completing all of the side quest missions extends the life of the game after you beat the main story.
Overall- 6.5/10
I think my favorite boss in the whole game was the first level boss; he's one of the cheapest bosses you'll encounter, but the animation for him (or it, it's a robot, really) is SO funny that it's actually cute. It's like watching a cat walk over the dried surface of a previously rain-proof coated deck as they shake their paws of the sticky feeling before taking another step, it's that funny.
If you can find it or borrow off somebody, play this immediately and experience the world of Lunar.
9449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product! The cartridge is in near prefect condition and plays very well!
1474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When DOOM came out 1993, it shook the gaming world to its knees. No one has seen anything like it and visually, was an improvement to id Software's widely successful Wolfenstein 3D. DOOM also generated controversy along with Mortal Kombat for having over the top violence and high levels of blood and gore. So naturally it was a hit with gamers. Fast forward 9-10 months later, DOOM II came out, still retaining the high amounts of violence and gore became just as big if not bigger. So when Sony came out with Playstation in 1995, of course they wanted a home version of this widely popular first person shooter. And it doesn't disappoint. DOOM for the Playstation has both DOOM (more specially, the Ultimate DOOM which id Software released in 1995. Basically DOOM with an added fourth episode) and DOOM II in one disc making one giant game. The gameplay is simple but extremely addicting which makes DOOM a blast to play. A large arsenal of weapons ranging from a pistol, to a shotgun, a plasma gun, heck even a chainsaw to name a few. It's a little primitive, you can't look up, down, or even jump but with the way the levels are designed, you don't need to. Enemies come from undead possessed soldiers and demons big and small with epic boss battles not to mention cool power ups. If you have still have a PS1 lying and want some good first shooters I recommend this and the just as good Final DOOM. A big 10 out of 10.
- Video. I run this on my laptop and the screen turns black and the game starts in the upper left part of the window consuming only about 25% of my widescreen laptop. The rest of the screen is black. It's pefectly playable, but awefully small. However, I noticed that when I put my laptop in my docking station connected to an external monitor it goes full-screen. Of course full-screen on a 24" widescreen monitor is not good for this game either. No amount of tweaking to the shortcut seemed to help. The only option is to change the desktop resolution to 800x600 before starting the game which is a major pain. Some Googling and it seems most everyone with a widescreen laptop experiences this. They all refer to a freeware download that let's you run Starcraft in a window. This actually works VERY nice, and was surprised at how much I liked it compared to the smaller screen in the upper left. However, there's comments from some users that after using the program, some people have been banned from Battle. Net since it saw they were using a 3rd party program with Starcraft. I'm not interested in playing SC on Battle.net so that's not a huge deal for me. But really, if you're going to actively sell a game at the game shops, you would think this would be fixed by Blizzard. It's one thing if I found this at a used/discount store, but I didn't. Also, I'm surprised Blizzard hasn't released a patch to smooth out the graphics a bit. It's not horrible, but it's hard to imagine that it would be too hard to fix it up a little better with a patch. Many other games have patches that improve the graphics. Doom, Quake to name a couple.
7th Level, 2nd Competion: Burnside - Great challenge, awesome layout.
Legends also uses a pretty similar graphic engine as Tomb Raider as well, complete with all the flat, 2D scenery that rotates with the camera and all the pixilated surfaces and clipping problems that accompanied that era of Playstation gaming. Unlike Tomb Raider, the environments in Mega Man Legends are much brighter and colorful, adding to the games cartoon-like feel, rather than the dark, dank death-trap ridden tombs that Lara Croft raids.
Especially if you're already dead.
What UmJammer Lammy does have that's better than in Parappa, though, is the overall presentation.
Through 4 different dungeons having 4 levels each you fought, died, and recovered your own corpse. You'd restart the game when it got too hard to gain xp in easier areas, and go back in again. It was all about getting to the next level, getting the next spell, getting the next better weapon or armor. It was simple to the point of being idiotic. Click the mouse to move somewhere, then click-click-click-click-click at some monster until it dies, and move on to kill more. That's an over-simplified description, of course - but the point is that Diablo was extremely addictive.

6883 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I know I'm not supposed to make references to other reviews but I can't help noticing that at least two 12-year-old gamers think this game is horrible. Perhaps pre-teens are so in touch with 3D games that 2D games seem brittle, or maybe it's about taste.
original mario are the best
7604 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well this is still a pretty sweet game. now that i've played the game i want to read the book. This might be the first book related game ever made. This Game is sweet. If you are a star wars fan you gotta have this game.
4767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As the first Castlevania game I have got, this game set a good example and now I am collecting Castlevania games. As Alucard, half-vampire and half-human, you must fight your way throughout a giant castle. Although somewhat easy, it is one of the best games I have ever played for the Playstation. The graphics aren't too good for it is a 2D side-scrolling game. Usually, side-scrolling games aren't very good, but this is AWESOME! This game, Tekken 3, and Crash Bash are the best games I have probably ever played. In other words, unless you're cracked up, this game will be one of the best games you have ever played. Now, since I got lots of new games, I'm off to rate more games. Good night!
As far as game play goes its excellent. The controls are standard to RPGs. Combat basically is turn based (which I highly prefer) with a little bar that goes up as it gets closer to your turn. It has several very fun mini-games. Also there are many characters who show an actually personality during the game. There are several Vehicles you get as the game goes by to help you with your long trips across the large world.
4530 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Anyone who likes video games and has seen the movies would really like this game, even if you haven't seen the movies, you'ed still like the fluid graphics and great detail. One of the best aspects of this game is the sound! Everything from the motion detecter to the alien's sounds to the predator's clicking type sound is EXACTLY like in the movies, I really appriciate this as it adds to the overall experience. The graphics are smooth and good looking. the Predators look a lot like in the movies and the Aliens are so well done I had to pause the game and marvel at the detail. When you first get this game do the marine mission if you are looking to be scared out of your wits. In the game you can play as all three different races(Predator,Alien,Colonel Marine)all with their own missions plus bonus missions. The Alien Ai(artifical intelegence) is really really good. You can be standing there minding your own business and then an alien will drop down from the ceiling when you didn't even know it was sneaking up on you. The only notable complaint is that the predators cloak only actually keeps you unseen for about 7 seconds(it doesn't go off or anything its just all of a sudden they can see you even if its up) Which of course lead my theory that you should kill them in 7 seconds or less(with your cloak up) if you wanna go undetected. Also staying true to the movies the Predator is extreamly hard to kill, whether you are playing as him or fighting him. And the aliens are brittle but really really really fast, and yes you can climb all over the walls at top speed when you play the alien:) The colonel marines are both brittle and slow, but they have BIG weaponry(chain gun with 800 rounds anyone? Also the chain gun's sound is really good and pumps the rounds out really fast. They also have a lot of other weaponry).All in all this is the best FPS(first person shooter) to date, especially if you are an Alien/Predator fan.
2464 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just as fun as I remembered! Still love playing this game during nostalgic times with friends who used to play all the time.

7383 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 WOW, I love this game. It is the best non-colorized portable Mario side-scroller I have ever played. This is one of the best game boy action games out there, along with donkey kong land 1-3, Metroid II, The Kirby games, and others. The rabbit ears kick but and I love the space zone.
6490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game to play.
Mario Kart 64
Graphics: For the most part the graphics are great for the SNES era. They're still not as sharp/detailed as Chrono Trigger or even colorful like Yoshi's Island but they work in the end.
3271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the Resident Evil game that all people have been waiting for, even if they don't realize it yet. It was so good that it refused to die with the failing Dreamcast and dove across to the Play Station 2 ( I hear the graphics aren't as good on PS2). It is the ultimate survival horror game.
I am legitimately scared playing this game during the day or night. Silent Hill delivers great story and great suspense. I don't care how old you are or how used to these new video games and graphics you are, they just don't add up to the value of Silent Hill.
6875 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While it may not be the most classic game ever to come out on the Sega Genisis, Aladdin is definitly a good game
The Boss battles are ingenius and amazingly fun. The best part of the game.
The graphics of this game are fantastic for its time. You can now journey through a fully navigable 3D map. The details of the environment properly capture the mood of each setting, be it a forest village, a watery temple, a haunted underground maze, or the inside of a giant fish's belly. The map of Hyrule is pretty expansive and full of places and objects to explore. The cinematic sequences look great and tie the segments of the story together well.
4263 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have a large history in playing adventure games, I own such classics as; the mokey island trilogy, fate of atlantis, day of the tentacle, full throttle, grim fandango and sam & max...I can heartily say, Gabriel Knight 3 ranks among the best of them. Merely on the strength of this title, I bought the first and second in the series, and cannot wait to begin them. The storyline is superb, and I suggest after playing the game you read up about the REAL history of Rennes le Chateau, this just shows how faultless Jane Jenson's stroytelling abilities are. To say that they ending is controversial is an understatement. The interface is smooth, akin to that of a 3D level designer, and I cannot imagine playing another adventure game without it. The graphics are for the most part great, with cartoony characters, it is a real testament(pun not intended...play the game, you'll understand) to the game desingers, that despite the graphics being cartoon in style, the game can be scary in parts. Despite not liking Tim Curry's 'Gabriel' to begin with, the character grew on me, and he really 'becomes' the character. Other voice talent is also well done...a modern classic
HYPER VENOM
Play this game - it's almost like a cool retro thing to do now - and forget about everything that came after. They have a new TR in the works now but it's got a lot of bad karma to overcome...so far nothing has matched this original masterpiece.
6632 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an incredible game. When first introduced to it, I played it far into the night just because I couldn't be torn away. This game is lacking in todays standards of good graphics, but the downside ends there. It has massive multiplayer options, hot-seat, internet, etc. Also, in the game, the programmers really thought this through because you are able to either let the computer do all the work for you, and have a simple game, or do it yourself, and work your butt off. You get to make your own spaceships, hand-selecting what weapons to put on it. Have you seen Star Wars Episode IV, the one with the Death Star? You know the laser it shoots to blow up the planet? You can put that on a ship if you want. You can put all sorts of crazy weapons on, just to have the fun in sending your one SUPER-SHIP against the opponents armada of scout ships. Thsi game has a little bit of a plot to it, allowing you to follow in the action. Also, you have to research the weapons you want to put on your ships. In addition, you can choose to hand-pick the stuff that goes on your colony worlds, or you can let the computer auto-build the stuff for you. I was banned by my parents from this game for a little over two years, and even with the massive improvements in graphics from the time of its release, Masters Of Orion II is still my favorite, and what I look forward to after coming home. All in all, THIS GAME IS A MUST-HAVE!
4 stars because some of what made this game so difficult came down to poor character box hit zones, bosses that required suicide tactics to defeat, and when you die - that X-Man is NEVER coming back. He's not locked up like in turtles either. GONE. Old School Fire Emblem style GONE.
6719 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the greatest Genesis games ever and is worthy of anyone's collection with its great gameplay and sound.
The Bad: voice acting and cutscenes despite good story, really bad soundtrack for the least part, repetitive puzzling of item get and push things, bad graphics for its time, Tank Controls!
While not my favorite of the "World" trilogy, this was a great continuation of a classic series. Here's hoping that future Pac-games will recapture the magic of this entry.
8182 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I felt like they made Zero very... heavy. I didn't find him as useful for the most part. I don't understand why, in the first X they show Zero shooting his blaster and then nobody uses his blaster in later games, he just uses his saber. Youd think he could use both...

1743 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best PlayStation adventure series by far, my opinion of coarse but either way very entertaining game. I am sure anyone reading this review has played at least the first 2 at some point in there lives and can agree/ vouch for my opinion. THANK YOU Naughty Dog for a great part of my childhood!!
1112 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got this on the GameCube Collector's edition and really, it's confusing how they DIDN'T make this the best game of 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. They DID make it the best game of 1998 and 1999 but anyways, there's a master quest version out there for GameCube. The sites are beautiful. And when u get inside the Deku Tree, let the action/fantasy begin!
6220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the game that got me hooked on computer games. You are an ant. Well not just one ant, a whole nest of them. You can be any ant you want and you can control them all if you want or let them do their own thing. I was that type of kid that liked to play in the ant bed and feed spiders crickets I caught in the grass. This game lets you do that in the summer/winter/spring/fall/summer/winter...
Through cut scenes the story is told in the form of outtakes of commercials. Some time in the 2000's a law was passed to make hyper intelligent computer controlled weapons. They made a cute mascot Tank for various TV spots with a silly charming child like wit to help sell the killing machines to the public. This Mascont was Tiny Tank. He saw how ridiculous it was that he was cute as hell but still had an 8mm canon for a nose and is a highly lethal killing machine.
Scattered throughout the many ruins and caves are vicious animals and hired goons all chomping at the bit to impede your progress. This is where combat comes into play. Lara starts off the game with twin pistols that have unlimited ammo. Through out the game you will find a variety of firearms, however these weapons do have limited ammo, but the pistols ensure you will always have a fighting chance in battle.

3652 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It all starts here, well, it was here where i truly fell in love with Tekken. I love T2, but, T3 was ..."holy cow" moves and graphics. For those that are starting with Tekken..this game should be your first.
1430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hello again, friends. What bad can be said about Mario 64? The polygons are smooth as silk, very, very, VERY rare slowdown, and the Mario we know and love.
7026 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got the game on time, and it's in great condition, works great. I can't wait to play through the rest of it!! :D
I chose the Jackswarehouse seller as theirs was the least expensive new cord, including shipping. I think in this case it is worth it to pay an extra dollar or two to get the product new. I received the cord in 3 business days with standard shipping.
OVERALL
3130 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The battle system could of been a lot better. Number one: There's too many battles in the first place. You take three steps you get in a battle. You walk two steps to get somewhere and you end up in a battle. You take one step, most likely you'll get in a battle. Also, let me point out that once you're in a battle, you can't move around. And plus summoning whatever it is you're trying to summon, like Thunder or something, you have to press eighty buttons just to summon it at once. It's hard to do. However, I think that the game was engaging and never let ya go. It was entertaining, and it is undoubtedly worth the twenty bucks$...but...the battle system could of been a lot better, I'm sorry.
3952 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought this game so that i can replay my own Dreamcast. The game worked great but i did notice that if you are using a never LCD flat screen, then the laser gun to play the game will not work. You have to use an old tube TV which i happened to have and it all worked great. My brothers and i spent the entire night playing it .I used to play this game in the arcades until my mom would literally drag me out.
The problems with this game begin early on. The main problem is the puzzles and bosses. There are many times when you will get stuck because you didn't move some block 8 hours ago, of course you can't go back so your only alternative is to start over. Very frustrating.
7036 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I could never get into this game so traded it in for something else.
Met more people, started the gift giving- I like it a whole lot!
There is a secret behind the SHINY STONE. Take it to Monstro Town; make sure charas are LV24+ and check the doors for a surprise visit from Culex, a enemy of some sort related to FF2/4
Perfect control.
The concept here is really simiple. You're a tiny guy (or gal) on a big platform of blocks suspended in a world of darkness. You're sitting there, minding your own buisness, when suddenly huge smashy blocks appear at the end of the platform, coming right towards you. There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to run to. Your only chance is to set explosive devices and destroy the blocks before they reach you. If you fail...well, lets just say it won't be pretty.
3827 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 NFL 2K is one of the best football games ever. First of all it has great graphics,it also has great play calling interface and last but not least begginers can get used to the game fast. Some of the flaws in this game is that there is no franchise mode and when you whant to play a season the space to save a season on your V.M.U. is outrageous 140 blocks of space leaving you with ten blocks of space left. One last problem is the running game there is know way in hell that your running back is ever going to run for a 60 yard touchdown because it is amazing just to be able to run 20 yards in this game. Well i have told you the pros and the cons about the game if you ask me though the cons did not stop me from liking this game,there are some games that i walk away from either whanting my money back or being truly [ticked] off but not this one.
5047 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There's pus spewing from the kitchen sink, the walls are bleeding, the fog is so thinck you can cut it with a knife and this is during the daylight hours. Things get worse at night as a demon world attempts to merge itself with our own. This is the premise of the story as Harry Mason navigates his way through this errily bizzare town that his hauntingly a lot like something only the most twisted and bizar mind could create. Resident Evil has its shock moments, but regardless of what anyone might tell you, for a real scare the original Silent Hill is the game to play. This is hands down the creepiest game, and while it has few of the zombie jumping through the window sort of scares there is a great deal of darkness, and erie sounds to compensate. This is a different kind of horror than RE, a game that bares no resemblance to this original master piece with the exception of the irritating control style, but thats where the similarities end. RE relies on catching you off guard, SH requires you to constantly be on guard and plays on your paranoia the entire time, especially with the radio. While RE comes off as a fun B-movie SH comes off as the darkest dream you don't want to remember, which makes it a worthwhile experience well worth the money.

1350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect!
This game deserves a
2550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the account to the SNES version, its graphics are way better than the original, it even holds alot of secrets, EX. Get enough points and you can play "The Lost Levels, boo race" and more! not to mention this game is such a great gift for the little ones, it is so easy, my little brother (Whose is 6) has almost completed the game!
Usually, and we see it even today, consoles come out in groups - SNES/Genesis, PlayStation/N64, the PS2/Gamecube/XBox, PS3/Wii/XBox 360. The Dreamcast came between the PS1/N64 wave and the PS2/GC/XBox wave. Casual gamers had just shelled out money for the previous generation, and the more savvy ones were saving up for the next. Developers held off making Dreamcast games, so when the next generation did come out the Dreamcast had a lack of titles and less-advanced tech, dooming it.
unfortunately, not the case. Firstly, the horrible graphics reminded me of jurassic park on snes, as the entirely identical backgrounds provided with not-so-great maps caused me to get lost over and over again, thus killing the mood. Also, in the 4th level or so and on, you hit a switch, and it could open something up on a random spot in ANOTHER LEVEL. This caused me to give up, as i have no interest in searching a level over and over for some obscure doorway or whatever. Also, when i cheated to find the later levels wikthout said searching, i found the end-game bosses to be clones of the you!!! this is just lame imo, they couldn't even be bothered to make up cool end-game bosses? Also, jumping sucks ass in this game, so save often.
The game fails to get a perfect rating from me based on my own preferences and skills. Firstly, because it IS an action game, many of its challenges are based simply on your being good enough to do some particular set of actions very, very well. I'm not the greatest in the world at doing some of the more complex sequences, and this means that it can take a frustratingly long time to get past one challenge -- in some cases, days to either figure out the precise sequence of moves which will get me from one point to the next, or to actually perform the sequence of moves once I've figured it out. Timing is critical, and restarting the game from the last saved point can take an annoying amount of time.
8280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games in the franchise. I really enjoyed this one.
You also have the option to switch between Sonic + Tails, Sonic solo, and Tails solo when playing the one-player mode.
It seems like a lot but once you start playing the game things will flow along pretty quickly. Main goal is collecting the cells but you run across others trying to do the same as you. You'll cross paths and battle from time to time and as you collect the cells you are able to venture out further and further to other islands and what not. Very enjoyable, pretty straight forward as long as you build up your character along the way you should have no problem beating whatever the game throws at you.
8069 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Having loved the series Voyager I was expecting something different from this game. Now that the series is over I can still enjoy it in this simulation game.
Brutal game. A must have. You also must play this in the dark to get the full affect.
3443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I did have this game before and since I couldn't get through a certain maze I sold it along with other games to get the new PS 2 at the time in which was only the box version. I wish I never did sell it because now one you play Resident Evil 1 & 2. Your almost prompted to play the rest of the games of this series.
- A noob
3039 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let me just break this game down step by step.
Interplay's really made a beautiful game here. Giants is based on a completely new engine and takes advantage of newer graphics cards' T&L engines to great effect. The course of the single-player game is played on a seried of islands, some tropical, some ice, etc. In the single player game you play first as Meccs, human-like characters with machine weapons, then as Delphi, a magic/sword/bow & arrow using nymph, and finally as Kabuto, a brutish monster.
5996 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Age of Wonders is fun for reasons I don't understand. It's like Civilization 3 and Lords of Magic: Special Edition (Jewel Case) combined. If you're scratching your head right now I'll give you a clue.
8192 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 We got this game when my dad bought us the PS1 for Christmas when the system first came out.

Get swallowed by a great story
2973 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game is awesome. The story is memorable, almost all of the characters are likable and the game basically becomes more fun as you get closer to the end.
2827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back when I first owned my PlayStation, I tried many games from Blockbuster. I've been a fan of Crash Bandicoot, and actually it was that series that compelled me to choose a PlayStation over a Saturn (thank goodness), so I quickly became of fan of platforming games. Not to mention that I loved Super Mario 64, but, since I didn't own an N64, I was forced to play it only when I visited my cousin's.
Another thing that doesn't make sense (keep in mind this is before RE2) is when Jill makes her way into the R.P.D. building only to find that half of the doors are boarded up/barricaded having no access. Which would contradict RE2's plot altogether. How would Leon and Claire get around the building? It doesn't make any sense. Why didn't they just have all of the doors Jill didn't need to go in locked? The story itself is pretty clustered. And it's really not even a story, its more like a side-story. It just seems that it was really rushed through and not a lot of thought was put into it.
8391 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In the past year, Star Trek games have gone from worst to almost first. Armada is a Warcraft type game, in which you have to build up your resorces to mount an attack on the enemy. While games like Age of Empire do this better, Armada isn't bad. It has good graphics and the game play is easy to understand. It seems a little buggy, but it hasn't crashed on me once. Activision has good support, so a new patch is never hard to get. Again, this is one of the better Trek efforts and it should please all Trek fans and non fans alike!
Overall, this is a great game and a great buy.
280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quite simply, if you have a ps2 you need a memory card. The 128MB card should do the trick for any gamer.
7. Bowsers place(91%)It starts with a Mario 3 level. It's cool.
You can join up with several NPC's, one being a floating skull
This is one of the best games you'll play and even though there's other games out currently that can distract, it always helps to go back to what started it all: what brought people into the RPG genre in a HUGE way: Final Fantasy VII.
Long story short, it's a must-own game for FPS fans. There's no multi-player, but who needs it when you have all the action you could want.
The stages are very cool. There are new stages added in this Gold version, and the forest stage is just like the arcade with all this fog around. It's awesome, it's like having the arcade game at home.
3135 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember all the hype surrounding Final Fantasy VII when it was set to be released. GamePro had allready said it may be the greatest game ever made, and that itself is quite a title. I never really liked RPG's, I'm more of an action gamer, but with all the hype surrounding this game, I figured what the [heck] and rented it a few days after it came out. I was dumbfounded the first time I played it, I was speachless. At the time I had never seen graphics like that, and the storyline was so engrossing that I felt a wave of depression actually set over me when I had to take it back. As pathetic as that sounds, the day I returned it to the video store, I went out and bought Final Fantasy VII and kept playing for days. Eventually I beat it, then a buddy of mine showed me his strategy guide and I realized I missed a lot of side stuff and extras, so I played through again using the guide, and the experience was even better. If you have never played any Final Fantasy game before this one is worth picking up, even if you don't like RPG's you'll dig this, though I suggest picking up the BradyGames strategy guide to make the game even sweeter. Truly one of the greatest games ever made.
Seriously, stop reading and buy.
8205 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mega Man X4 (1997). The fourth episode in the seven part spin-off series, and first one to be released on Playstation.
Graphics and FMV's are top notch in FF VIII, too. The characters look very realistic, and the FMV's will keep you on the edge of your seat. Music isn't the best FF music; actually, it's below average when compared to other FF music, but it's still pretty good.
In the game, you play as either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, two S.T.A.R.S officers who become trapped in a mansion filled with zombies. You must go through the mansion and find clues, weapons, and other items in order to proceed. You fight many different types of zombies throughout the game. Some of the supporting characters include Rebecca Chambers, Barry Burton, and Albert Wesker. The game also has different endings depending on what you do.

1) Story is amazing. The campaign is challenging and fun. Also dark and rewarding.
9820 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Welcome to the ghoul realm, where you are a gargoyle named Firebrand. This is a spin off series from Ghouls & Ghosts from Capcom. The challenge is on par with that game as well.
For those of us out there who have gotten into playing D&D 3.5 probably won't recognize what Thaco is for, but you have to remember this is based on the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons rules. Regardless, it still doesn't really take away from the game play, if you're a fan of the new rules. As far as this compares against other RPG's, I was shocked that it comes with a pre-made character. Now you do have to choose the class, so you have options in that right. At first I was a little skeptical, but as you go into the story-line you get really into it.
886 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sticker label is quite faded but i guess ok for acceptable condition. other than that cartridge is clean, works great, shipped fast. Highly satisfied.
+Very nice design
ENTERTAINING!!!
One thing I didn't like in this game is you can only have 3 party members in your battling party. This takes away from the strategy of battles. The only things that make your characters different is their limit breaks and what materia you have equipped to that character, and what weapon each uses. The translation is a little weird at times, but acceptable. After all, it was Sony that translated it I believe.
You can play this game over and over before getting tried of it, but you will keep it in your hearts forever. The amazing game play, the amazing characters, and amazing graphics. (Back in those days.)
"Rogue Squadron" focuses on the missions of the famed Rogue Squadron, thought to be the most dangerous and lethal fighter pilot unit in the entire galaxy. Led by the legendary Wedge Antilles, the squadron fights 16 regular missions (and 3 bonus missions) ranging from defending the homestead on the deserts of Tatooine to rescuing prisoners from the spice mines of Kessel to battling the terrifying 'World Devastators' on Mon Calamari. That just barely scratches the surface of the exotic locales where missions take place. The graphic environment is much more advanced this time around. No more static matte backgrounds. Everything is fluid and moves with the player. The gameplay has also been enhanced. Greater control is afforded to the joystick button on the control pad when it comes to manipulating the ships. Overall, it makes for a spectacular gaming experience.
1209 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I used to play this game with my grandma. This is my favorite in the crash series and its exactly how I remember it. No complaints. Fast delivery.
Going back and replaying this game is weird and fun. it's fun to see how bad the graphics were, and how you didn't see it that way back in the day.
-Some may feel that game is feeling abit dated now(the game is pretty old now!!)
398 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my first action RPG and its the best basically if your an older player like me, 23, may not hold up graphically today but it is a very fun and expansive game for its time.
-------------------------------------------
The premise is a bit like that of the film Mirage; your character wakes up, with no memory, and has to figure out where he is and what he's doing there. The "where" part comes along pretty quickly; he's in Sigil, the home of plane-hopping extraterrestrials and weird beings from other planes. The "why" is the true meat of the game, and it's quite nice that while the developers were working so hard at tweaking the game's responses to be tailor-made to your character, they didn't forget to include a plot compelling enough to bring players back to the game day after day.
And if you're hoping the ending and final boss is worth encountering, they really aren't. I'd say buy it for the opening music or a goofy gold robot, but are any of those really valid reasons? I think I'd rather re-coat the deck, wait for it to dry, find any spots that still have those dried, but sticky patches on them and have the cat walk over it again... and to add, I'll join in the fun by walking with her barefoot.
1389 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when it first came out at a friends house but i never bought it. I was not that in to the 64 back then. But now i think it is very fun and entertaning. The graphics r good for the 64, including that it was the first game ever for it. That is why almost everyone who has a 64 has this game. If u take the snes newest games graphics compared to this game, which is only a couple years apart, these graphics seem life like. It has a great adventure but its weird that Luigi is not in this game. It adds much more new items,charecters,and levels. I like that it is first person view unstead of the side view like on the past marios. Ever since this game most marios have been first person view. This is why i want sm64 ds, it is like the 64s but different graphics and differnent layouts. I will get the ds one in the future but thats a different story. Like i said, my top favorite game today.
Recommended.
3192 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The only draw back with this game is it gets kind of boring but its a great game that put bypassed the arcade by far! This is a game I won't forget.
On multiplayer it can be fun if you have the right group. The story is the same as it is in singleplayer except one member of your party is the main character while the rest of the group are backups. If you have a group with enough imagination you can have a game that lives up to any tabletop D&D game.
8947 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thanks
1698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No box (didn't expect it anyway), works perfectly!
Once you get past the charmingly crude graphics (that's why we call it a "digital antique"), the sound and gameplay are enough to keep you occupied. Quality Mario action. 3 1/2 stars.
1163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda 64 is defenetly one of my favorite games for the N64. It has a fairly good story, it's interesting enough to make you want to know what happens next, and it has a gameplay that's unbeatable. The combat system is very simple and great. You have your z locking on system which makes killing enemies a piece of cake. There is so much to do in this game that it's comaprable to a good RPG, something that N64 hasn't been blessed with yet. The graphics are pretty good, especially since they don't use the expanssion pack, and the world is just huge. One down side is that some puzzles in the caves can be pretty tough, and sometimes, you may feel lost and don't know what to do next. The bosses look very impressive and get more challenging as you progress through the game. This game will defently take a couple months to beat, unless you play 24/7. After you master the game, then it'll just take a couple of days, like any other normal, or great game. Nintendo has defenetly done a great job with this one. One thing I didn't like about it is that it has gotten eaiser than it's predicessors. I've started playing Zelda games since the SNES days. Back then, it was Zelda: A Link to the Past. The game was tough. I'll admit it, it took me a year to beat that. That game was also HUGE. But now, 3D has made things eaiser, which I like and don't like. But another thing I don't like. They keep on changing the whole story of Zelda. Those of you who played the SNES game will know what I'm talking about. There, Link didn't live in a forest, and there wasn't a guardian fairy. And the whole world changed too. Well, maybe it's for the best, but I wouldn't mind if they made a remake of it, maybe for the GBA?.....
I wish I could sit here and just ramble on and on about the beautiful story and the twists, turns, and major events, but obviously that would ruin it for any who still haven't played this masterpiece of a game. I see many, many people today who have never played a game like this and are simply enthralled by today's crop of PS2 RPG wanna-be's and it really irks me. They simply don't know what they've missed and 9 times of 10 simply don't care.
It's very fun and innovative...It has a flavor that not alot of FPS have..I think this game ranks up with Half life...God I wish Nintendo made a remake out of this...Rare is very good at what it does...Like...Which I also thought was the best video game ever made, Conkers BFD..That had some flavor in it...I hope Rare keeps it up and I Really wanna see how Perfect Dark ZERO does On the Xbox
#4 Cyclone - One bad as hell gun. It's very, VERY fast, and its second function lets you empty out 50 bullets, one right after the other at a blazing speed, ensuring a better chance at killing a weary opponent.
426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game thanks!
Both the boy and girl character play and handle exactly the same(it would've been nice had they each been given different abilities). Overall a fun and 'mindless' game to break a few windows and knock over some trash cans but can get challenging if you want to build up your subscriber base.
Actually, it seems like if you don't want to play through the main game, you could just have Pac-Man wander off and create your own little cartoon venture. Go ahead. Have Pac-Man brawl with a cat that stole his hot dog. Have a farmer's haystack fall flat onto him. Do whatever.
Only one.......the characters control like a walking tank.
Fans often overlook this as a remake of Donkey Kong Country. Unfortunately for them, they are missing out, as this is actually a sequel. The gameplay and graphics are the same as the SNES game, but the levels and worlds are different. Is the story the same? No. In fact, the story is about, according the manual, DKC's success. Cranky Kong claims that the game only sold well because of the game's "fancy graphics" and that "kids would buy anything these days". A funny story to a satisfying game.
5840 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...along comes the sequel. Both games are incredible and addictive. My only complaint is that you can't have both the basic game and the expansion installed at the same time. However, that's a small problem in an otherwise wonderful program that is worth every penny.
3214 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even with the new consoles on the market, this game is still the best fighting game out there. Just so you all know, the Dreamcast is a 128 bit system just like the others. So, the graphics can be just as good. Could have used a few more fighters, but that's my only complaint. The backgounds are breath taking. The fighters have THE coolest specials moves I've ever seen. And, the special moves arn't really all that hard to use. You can get to them a lot of times with just a bit of luck. Some of the other fighting games I've played, I was never able to make them do the really cool moves because they were too complicated to pull off. So, I never got to see them. This is a must have game for Dreamcast owners.
There's quite a bit more to Final Fantasy VIII's gameplay. There's also a card game called Triple Triad you can play. It's a simple game complete with complex rules. It's also incredibly addictive. There are a couple of other mini-games, but where Final Fantasy VIII really succeeds is it's unremarkable number of sidequests (though most of them become locked on the final disc). There's a ton of optional things to do here.
Time hasn't been kind to this game, but who am I kidding? Time wasn't kind to this game the day it came out because it was an absolute piece of plastic trash then, and it's trash now. It will forever remain trash. It's so trashy, the trashman won't even take it. He says it stinks too much, and it's not worth the risk of potentially sniffing the horrible odor *just* to put the game in the back of his truck. Even if he were to wear the thickest pair of gloves in the world, he doesn't want to risk the smell remaining on his skin permanently.
The game is a blast to play the rock music fits the atmosphere perfectly and the future Blue Bomber is a force to be reckoned with when he is fully upgraded. I liked the idea of using animals as bosses instead of just "Man". The environmental changes in the game are also very unique and add a new perspective on the game. The backgrounds and stage layouts are interesting and the bosses are fun. The learning curve is pretty quick and once you learn the dash technique you will be zipping through the game. I also liked the idea of being able to Power up your boss weapons into supercharged weapons once you have the X-buster upgrade.

Four stars seems a little bit cheap for this great game, but the fifth star is missing because I would have liked to see a greater variety of campaigns, for example with different identities/themes. But still it is worth every penny.
There are tons of great characters from Yoshimitsu, the ever cute dragon Gon, the sexy schoolgirl Ling Xiaoyu, and over a dozen more. The wonderful part is they all have their own unique fighting styles which keeps the action from getting dull.
+ very good cast of memorable characters
I originally beat Titanic: Adventure back in Time back in 1996 and recently beat it again. It still holds up as my favorite game of all time.
With a lot of areas to cover and hundreds of quests and mini quests (I'm not kidding) you are looking at least 30 hours of gameplay, 20 if you "powergame" and rush through. That's real value for the 10$ max you're paying.
You have the choice of being one of two characters: "Father Ignacius Blackward, a man of God combatting Evil", or "Nadia F., a Microbiologist." The latter character, who's father was murdered mysteriously, probably as a plan of "The Brotherhood of Hecate", a mysterious Dark order dedicated to dominating the earth using these mutant monsters. They are led by "Adam Crowley", former "legitimate" scientist who now masterminds the secret Brotherhood of Hecate. Unfortunately, their bodies were immolated in the Fire of 1666. Crowley only desired to create a race of "Supermen" {...can you say Ubermenschten?}; but things didn't quite go as planned. Still, this was still a great opportunity to realize their plans anyway.
So, why am I here, giving a Star Trek game a good review? Simple; because it's everything the shows and movies stopped being a long time ago:
-There are many glitches that you notice along the way, but aren't really game breaking
So, if you're looking for a great game, this is definitely for you. I extremely recommend this one.
I didn't expect to ramble on this long. If there is anyone out reading this who owns a Saturn but doesn't own the games in the PD series, do yourself a big favor, and get them. All of them. They're well worth it. But get this one first.
It's a really good system but I don't think you should buy it now because it's WAY to old!

Overall, my final opinion of the game. I've grown to like this game despite my love for the more medieval-styled Final Fantasies of the past. This one was a departure from the past, adding more mature elements into the game (colorful language, sexual references, etc. etc.). Definitely your big brother's kind of RPG. While some may dispute its "overrated" longevity, its success on the Sony PlayStation became a part of that system's legacy and it also brought RPGs to the mainstream audience.
4172 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is so addicting, it should be called "starcrack". this is not an endorsement for the illicit use of drugs. i'm just saying it could be a problem.
5671 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So much to say, so little space (and time). Quake3 embodiesthe greatest deathmatch action period. For me, this is the best gamearound. I will give you some pros and cons for this game. First the pros:
4145 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love how cheap games become when they're outdated, esp. when the expansion pack comes with it. This game is worth more than what you're paying, IMO. Tons of maps, scenerios, campaigns, creating your own. You have lots of cheats, but after 2 straight weeks of playing, your skills will bump up high enough that you'll never need to use them, unless you're in a must-win bad mood. The 2 fun chats are for the priests & chariot archers that give them sonic speed; adding humor to the game & giving you a speed advantage durring wars. & nothing vents off real-world anger like declaring war & fighting it in a game. When you're done (if you win)you'll feel refreshed & happy with only cramped fingers as a casualty.
5839 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good game, very addictave. You can create lots of stuff. You won't wanna quit playing it! Buy it!
Multiplayer- 100/10 The multiplayer is so good in this game that I decided to give it its own category. Unlike Goldeneye where you had to pick a weapon scheme, this game lets you custon design the weapons selection. Theres a whole array of Sims, too, and you can put up to 8 on at once. The nostalgia of this games multiplayer is just amazing and hard to fathom, very difficult. You can also choose from a whole plethora of Sim types, venge sim, turtle sim (They get a barrier for a long while, but they movem extremely slow, making for hilarious moments.) Difficulty settings for sims are Meat, Easy, Normal, hard, perfect, and dark. Dark sims basically can do maneuvers that humans cannot, kinda like robo-bots or something of that sort. Add 3 friends, yourself, and 8 Sims to the mix, including teams, colors, and a whole array or multiplayer schemes (king of the hill, license to kill etc) and you are setting yourself up for a indefinite blast. I can't even begin to explain how fun this is, you just have to experience it for yourself. I have played Killzone and other new-age shooters and can still say PD surpasses them to extraordinary lengths. Also, lest we forget the challenges. The challenges are extremely fun missions where you have to accomplish a certain deed, and if completed you unlock new stages, weapons, and sims for Multiplayer. You can also play the challenges with up to 3 other people, but the difficulty level goes sky high.
It's agreed by most everyone that Riven is more difficult to solve than the original Myst. The puzzles often don't seem obvious, and there are some puzzles that can be frustrating, like the marble puzzle, which you have to solve in order to gain access to the domes found on Riven. Or the animal puzzle, which you'll find a bunch of stones in this one room with animal symbols that you have to push in the right order to go to another world. On the original Myst, after you won it, Atrus tells you that his wife Catherine has been taken prisoner, and on Riven, you're supposed to find and free his wife, taken prisoner by Atrus' father, Gehn. Also it looks like a different guy was playing Atrus on Riven from the original Myst, in fact it was none other than Myst creator Rand Miller who plays Atrus on Riven (as well as Myst III and IV, though I hadn't played Myst V, so I can't tell you about the game or the characters), although I'm uncertain who played Atrus on the original Myst. I really love the ambient music that goes with this, not to mention the beautiful scenery found throughout.

Of course I like Shadow for some reason. He's fast.
Everything about this game is brilliant. Sure, its story (penned not by some computer programmed but genuine sci-fi novelist Mark Laidlaw) of a scientific experiment gone wrong isn't exactly novel, but the fact that the game sticks with the story instead of using it as a clothesline for action sequenced makes up for it. The weapons, which number about 15, are healthily balanced between realistic and original, and are spaced throughout the game so that the player does not find all of them in ten minutes. The NPC's can be funny and are often helpful, the enemies ruthless and cunning.
The reson why this game's getting a 9.5 is because some jumps can be hard to master, and controlling Mario can sometimes be hard.
[Originally this was written for a retro-gaming site back in early January, 2000. It has never appeared on Amazon.]
The only gripe that I have is that some moves are just not condusive to being made on the N64 controller. My hands also wanted to keep sliding over into the traditional n64 grip on the controller (with the stick and not the pad), but this game does not play well with the stick and thus you have to use the pad. That will feel weird at first. You can re-map the buttons to better suite your needs, but if you do, other moves will be more difficult to pull off as well. For instance, Sub-Zero's famous slide is almost impossible to do without taking your right hand off the controller and repositioning it on the correct buttons to make him do his slide. While you're doing this, you're getting your butt kicked because how are you going to concentrate on where the buttons are during the fight?
Although the game is only on one CD, and the graphics are simplistic Amber is still an impressive game for the value. It has enough ambiance to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up more than once (imagine walking into the bathroom and seeing words write themselves on the mirror). Amber can scare you, but it does it in a subtle way instead of shoving a bucketload of gore in your face. The gameplay is a bit short, but still much more than you'd normally expect in a single CD game.
9287 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I know they came out with one or 2 based on mike judges animation, its obviously not that difficult but not all games have to be difficult to wanna own and to enjoy. it a classic to add to the rest.

Granted, it feels all wrong playing Sonic with a PS 2 pad, but I know I speak for us all when I say I'd rather have Sega Games this way than not at all.
What you gotta do is you have to go to new t.v. levels and collect as many t.v. remotes as you can. Remember, the more remotes you collect the closer you will get to Rez. In this game Gex wears all sorts of different costumes like Hercugex, Supergex, Privategex, Dracugex, Little Red Riding Gex, and Sherlockgex. There is a whole lot more, but I cannot name them all. Gex also has rides too like Al Nino the donkey which can help Gex go up hills that are too slippery for Gex to climb and Humps the camel which can help Gex cross sinky sand and there are a few others. There are secret characters that you can play in the bonus rounds, but you have to find them first before you can play them. There is Rex which is Gex's prehistoric ancestor and Cuz which is Gex's cousin.
Ergo my following thoughts; there are so many positives about this game that I can't help but give it five stars. However, if I were to make a mod or have the developers create an expansion for Homeworld, it would be to create a "realism" mode where players could fight over vast distances. I'm talking millions of kilometers here; AU size strategic ranges, with perhaps tactical distances being more akin to modern BVR engagement for today's jet fighters. I also would love to be able to have been able to pilot one of the ships, and/or man a gun turret while my AI controlled the rest of my assets.
The sequel to Age Of Empires keeps everything that made the first one great, throws away almost everything that made it bad, and throws an amazing, revamped user interface that gives the player god-like power if used expertly.

This game was definitly overshadowed by the imfamus Metal Gear Solid. But that don't mean the game didn't sell, it reached the over the two million mark, and after playing it through, I see why. If you love Metal Gear Solid, go check this out.
6512 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nostalgic.
3877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was the biggest fan of NES Open, one of the last games made for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. It was a golf game that featured betting, longest drive contests, and a tournament where you could name all your competitors. Most golf games I've played focused more on having a big name (i.e. Tiger Woods) than fun. But NES Open was great fun, and I thought it'd never be beat. I'm eating my words. Mario Golf is one of the most fun games, period. So many options...you can play the tournament, ring shot, speed golf, play characters and keep them, mini golf, skins and more. The suspense of the match game is the best. It's going to take me forever to achieve everything on this game. The ONLY complaint is that the mini-golf is really uncreative. Other than that...it's perfect.

The game is very easy to play, you have to build a Roman empire, and take care of it's residents. You have to build loads of things, like schools, libraries, theatres, markets, farms etc.
7529 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ah Aladdin. This classic Disney movie is, and probably always will be, my personal favorite. Not the two downhill sequels after it but the original. I find myself feeling that way about a lot of things lately: that the original of something is usually the better of the two. Aladdin gave us some unforgettable characters! Aladdin himself, the street rat who had a rags-to-riches story, Princess Jasmine who was the beauty who captured the eye of Aladdin, Jafar and Iago who made quite the villainous pair, and of course Genie who was wacky and insane in a very good way (thanks to Robin Williams of course).
If you haven't played the original System Shock read up on its plot before you play this game. The background information you gain will help you out a lot.
8550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still remember when I first rented this game as a kid, and oh man was I ever addicted. I loved it so much I racked up 2 weeks worth of late fees! Well, of course I eventually bought it. Everything about this game is great and sets the standards for RPGs to come. I'll cut it down for you...
8990 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This cable fit into my sega however it wouldn't connect to my TV. I have a newer HD-Flat screen TV and i wanted a coax connector to hook it up like the picture shows.....IT LIES! it uses an RF connector which didn't work with my TV. Also it came in a different box than the one shown. Shipped back and got a different one.
It's definetly worth a buy from any fans of the "Myst" era.
Black Mesa Research Facility. But, suddenly a teleportation
much enjoyment to be had!
Jill meets up with Carlos, who is completly pointless, except for a little part you have to control him. Other than that Jill is the superb heroine! Proving women can defend themselves without men. I would recommend buying this game and loving every suspenseful moment. Play it in the dark!
6124 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a lover of the Pokemon series, I have played Red, Blue, and Yellow countless times. This game added the challenge of not being able to read anything due to it being in Japanese, but that was not a problem. Along with the fact that I could probably play this game blindfolded, you really only need to know how to read the healing items like potions and revives and the moves of your Pokemon. There are a few websites out there that can be used as a translation guide. This game was wonderful, and the difference in sprite-graphics for the Pokemon made me laugh occasionally. I'll definitely cherish this copy.
6727 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many years ago I remember there was an arcade game that had a lot of the same characters in this excellent video game. I was small and used to play that game and hang out with my friends at the arcade and had a lot of good memories. I found this game also a very long time ago at an old video rental store and figured to give it a shot. I knew it wasn't based on the arcade game; so instead I was really impressed and surprised.
Pokemon (hey, pokemon is gay, but the game sure is fun)

Maximum sprites: 40 total, 10 per line, 4 colors per sprite (one of which being transparent)
The music is top-notch even by today's standards. Koji Kondo really put together a masterpiece.
Of course there is a Wedge and Biggs, named after the Star Wars characters. In fact, one of Biggs' early lines is almost straight from the movie. There's a Cid too - he's an airship pilot. This is the Cid they used in Kingdom Hearts.
8767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The granddaddy of all puzzle games. I dare you to play it and deny that it is awesome.
Fun Factor: Fun Factor can't get much lower. The only fun things here is the quest mode and two player mode. It's always nice to play ANY game with two players, especially one that lets us rag on it like it's Elevator Action (Waaay back in the NES days.) The quest mode is nice for those late night no-brainer sessions where your brain is too fried to think about anything else.

First of all, I too respect the abilities of developers of Psygnosis as much as anybody, and I would like to describe that respect, but I feel I have to say my piece about this game and come to my point.
2381 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's kind of strange how I manged to get into Pokemon, but here's how it all began: One day, during a Science class, a friend of mine and I were going around our elementary school yard and picking up trash and Tootsie Roll wrappers. The actual goal was as many Tootsie Roll wrappers we each got, that was how many Tootsie Rolls we would get. Anyway, I found a stray Ponyta Pokemon Card in one part of the yard, and my friend found a Dark Charmeleon. My friend said, "I'll trade you my Dark Charmeleon for your Ponyta if you want". Well, personally, I didn't want to, I wanted to add this card and start a collection, but my friend's Dark Charmeleon did look sort of cool at the time. I finally gave in and said, "well, why not?" So we traded. A few days later, we started acting out some of the episodes at recess (I'd never seen the episodes at the time). My friend was basically making up his own little stories... never mind the episodes that were on TV. Later on, my liking for Pokemon grew when my friend decided to bring his Game Boy Color to school, AND his Pokemon Red Version. I thought to myself, hmmm... this could be interesting. I asked him what he was playing and if I could watch him play it. he said, "sure you can watch." I didn't get to see much of the game because we weren't outside for recess that long. Then, I decided I wanted to get my own version of Pokemon Red. I asked my mom and she said I could. So I did. I got the game (almost 7 years later and I still haven't beaten it) and I ended up loving it. So, in conclusion, I'm eighteen and a half years old, a junior at Grafton High School, and I still love Pokemon (the games more than the episodes), but one thing has changed... my friend and I don't do "reenactments" of our favorite episodes anymore like we used to. I really recommend this game.
4926 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I know, I know. There are 65 reviews for this game. Enough right? Well, even so I couldn't resist. This game is probably one of my favorites, right up there with Overclocked and Syberia. I would say MYST to but it;s a different sort of style. I am a collector of PC games so I hope I know what I am talking about. If you like creepy games that force you to use your mind, and not just for the puzzles, then you will adore this game.
Worth the money.
312 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 saves so much room!!! everyone need one of these, play the ones you want, when you want. your kids will love it.
4990 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My first delve into the survival horror genre was Resident Evil 4, and after the other excellent survival horror games I've played, I now consider it my favorite game genre of all time. I've played multiple entries to the RE series, and although I am enjoying them immensely, I didn't particularly like the more action oriented style RE5 took on. So, during a trip to Gamestop, I picked up $40 worth of PSN cards; enough to get me a digital copy of RE6 and a digital copy of Silent HIll, to stand in for the lack of horror in the former title. And I've gotta say, for a $6 download, I could not be happier.
The real question is why did Nintendo do this? Well, Miyamoto is a great gamming god, but as far as stories go, his team is not that good at having connecting story lines that make sense. Again, another article, another time. The structural symmetries lying between Zelda 64 and LTTP is quite frightening. Who knows why they chose to do that? Granted, the story line is different, but quite a few of the fundamentals behind both pieces are indeed the same. In review:
In conclusion, Starcraft is everything that Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun wasn't. It has the best designed units of any strategy game. It has a strong storyline which is beautifully realised in the single-player missions. And the addition of StarEdit means you can create your own missions once you tire of the Blizzard approved ones. No wonder why this game has stood the test of time. However, the omission of advanced unit controls mean I have to deduct one star.
5982 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Diablo II lived up to the hype, no doubt about that ...but it's fun fails in comparison to the first Diablo. Why? Because Blizzard didn't bother to change the gameplay one bit.
The biggest downside to this game is that although there is an interesting campaign as well as stand-alone scenarios to play, there is no random map feature. For each existing map, the races you can select from are preset, and some of the races aren't represented very well. For example, if you like playing as Highmen, you're stuck with playing the same three maps over and over. The game does come with a map editor, and you can get some decent maps from fan sites, but a random map generator really would have increased the longevity of this game.
6899 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game is horrid! The graphics and the framerate are too choppy! The sound's okay (sound effect wise), but MKII was never known for it's music. The control is absolutely horrid; there aren't enough buttons on the Game Boy and special moves are nearly impossible to pull off (much less FATALITIES, as there's only one per character).
However, can somebody tell me why Eidos can't put these games out ON TIME?? I waited a long time for Soul Reaver, and now I am waiting for Soul Reaver 2. Yeah, the games are good, but how about making your DEADLINE?!
Don't get me wrong the game was very entertaining and still withheld the ability to scare the hell out of me. I did enjoy it a lot, but it just doesn't justify itself as much of a sequel in my opinion.
1841 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Augh! I found the first few levels of Crash 1 harder than the 3rd world levels Crash 2 and 3. It also uses a system of having to pass one level to get to the next. This becomes frustrating because I found myself having to repeat the same level over and over again because I either died or... hell, I don't know. I just had to repeat the level because it wouldn't let me continue.
OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
5862 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a game that may look a little bit rushed on the surface, compared to FF7, but look in between the lines, download the helpful Final Fantasy 8 guide from gamespot.com, and get to know the games secrets. Because they are many.

4179 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't need to say how great of a game Starcraft is, you know it is.
776 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game looks fine, but it doesn't work. I bought 6 games from this seller, 5 of which did not work.
- While this game does have replay value, you aren't compelled to play again after you beat it. Give it a while and you will definitely want to play again.
8067 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomba! 2 is just as great as the original with more 3D action, adventure, and addictiveness. They should have made a 3 but simply put, as the popular saying goes, "all good things must come to an end." I got 6 more PS classics to go....
1. This game is exactly like being in the middle of a Star Trek episode. You play a Star Fleet Cadet who's father was killed during the Borg encounter at Wolf 359. You are offered the chance to go back in time shortly before the battle to see if you can change history. As soon as you accept the challenge, you are transported to the bridge of a starship as the crew prepares to engage the Borg. You have the uncanny, poignant experience of watching the father you scarcely knew as he interacts with his shipmates, tries to save his friends, and bravely prepares for a battle he is doomed to lose.
I definitely agree with the people who say this game is hard. If you don't plan one character's move correctly, the whole battle may be out of your hands. But, if strategy games isn't your cup of tea, then don't get strategy games! FFT is a hard game, but it is definitely beatable and conquerable, it just takes a lot of time and patience.
8466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Wario Land games have been a pretty long-lasting series of bashing, enemy throwing, pouncing fun, but would you ever believe that the series started out as a conclusion to the Super Mario Land trilogy? The gameplay has changed so much from Super Mario Land 2 (Although you can probably still tell it was made from that game's engine), that it may as well go into a series of its own in the first place!
6230 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well, if you haven't figured it out yet from the other reviews, the player assumes the role of an immortal searching for his identity. So the game exhibits a dark shadow of death and rebirth.
5645 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After the tour de force of FFVII, VIII had some massive shoes to fill. It knew, however, that it probably was never going to fill such storytelling shoes, but I don't think the game was a complete loss either. I've often heard it told that many fans didn't like the story since it's a love story as opposed to a story where you have to save the world. Granted, there's a bunch of sorceresses running around, messing things up, but it IS generally agreed that it takes a bit of a seat in the back compared to the more involved, psychological story of an antisocial kid destined for great things.
2) Computer feature is great---you can set computers skill level
So, I hope you will go out (or click) for a Game Boy. They are truly great things to own for a child, teen, or even an adult. They make great toys and are not that costly. Buy and enjoy.
7609 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was the very first N64 game I've ever played. You're Dash Render a Han Solo like character. This game is a lot of fun, accurate to the book, and has the best debugger cheat I've ever seen. There is a three ship levels where you're in the Outrider(Dash's Ship) or a snow speeder. There is four camera modes so you can play it either James Bond first person style or Laura Croft Second person style either way it's fun. Your choices of weapons are aewsome, from laser, to seeker(a heat seeking gun), to disrupter(half grenade, half atom bomb this bay will fry everything including Dash). A great game that doesn't waste your money.

Corsair:These new air units are fast is a valuble adition to the fleet. Aswhell as being able to attack it can create a cloud which protects air units from attack from below. This can be very valuble in air raids.
The controls and gameplay are dire. There's no fluent movement or grace in the fighting. It's all just an annoying mess and terribly programmed. If you can bear to stay with the game until level 2 you'll know what I mean. It was so rage-inducing I almost gritted my teeth into dust and chucked the controls into the TV.
9109 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best systems ever! The graphics may not look great compared to Sega's Dreamcast (but nothing really does look good next to a Sega system) And this is where the blue blur started out, right here on the sega genesis. While this is a smaller version of the original this still plays the same golden games. But the thing is, this is NOT made by Majesco, I don't even think it is distributed my majesco, so I don't know where people got that. But that is off the point, this power house was the 16-bit revolution, the start of 16-bit gaming, this is also where sony got a start of developing eventually stabbing sega in the back which led to the down fall of sega, who started 16-bit gaming, 32-bit gaming, and 128-bit gaming. So buy this and all other Sega systems before collectors like me take them all away. Also, Check out my review of the PS2 and see the evedence of how the DC is soooooooooooo much better.
It has 8 characters for you to pick from. Many items to hurl throughout the racing course. But perhaps the best thing is the wide variety of game types, such as battles, and racing in different tournaments. There isn't much to this game, but what do you expect from SNES. Besides, you don't want anything added to this game. This is the perfect mario racing game for Super Nintendo.
If the 64 is too retro for you, Zelda OCT has been remade for the Gamecube with newer graphics. However, the Gamecube controller does not integrate as seamlessly as the 64 (understandably) so you will miss out on a large part of what made Zelda 64 great. Additionally, there is a 3DS version, but I haven't played that so I really can't comment.
Graphics B-
The story-line is what really makes the game. Basically you don't know who you are and you interact with a world that you have to essentially rediscover because you have some sort of strange amnesia. You awaken in the mortuary of Sigil, because the Dustmen thought you were dead. In Planescape Sigil is basically the fulcrum city for access to everywhere else. You get to visit many other planes in this multiverse setting and graphically it's all very impressive. I thought this game really captured the essence and majesty that is the Planescape setting and they really put it together down to the very last detail. I imagine this was immensly difficult considering how large this setting actually is. Naturally it doesn't have EVERYTHING, but it captures the major points at the very least. You come across other characters through your adventures that decide to join you in your path as well and you eventually grow a pretty strong party to face the higher levels. So the game is partially a mystery, but there is a lot of action sequences where your character can choose to fight his way through. In this the script is also very well written, which was something else that really impressed me about this game.
The thought, imagination and hard work that went into the creation of this game are evident. I recommend Morpheus to gamers who enjoyed games like Myst or Riven, and Morpheus represents a good value for the amount of entertainment and game play it offers.
2669 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To be perfectly frank, the Microsoft Sidewinder is the most underrated joystick ever made. My previous joystick was a Logitech Wingman Extreme. Within six months of purchase, the Wingman was falling apart - calibration was non-existent and the rubber case was disintegrating.
one shot death(A bit too realistic)well, unless you have armor
If I were giving Resident Evil 2 a score, it would be ten out of ten. Sure, it is looking old considering it was originally released on the PlayStation and Dreamcast, but unlike the vast majority of games, it has the ability to withstand the test of time. It is well worth hunting around the stores that specialise in second-hand or liquidated stock for.
7596 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you've ever played rainbow six and dreamed about how good the sequel to it could be this is your answer to it. This one will not let you down. It is packed with realistic intense gameplay along with jaw-dropping graphics. This game is everything that you could have anticipated or thought about. Rogue Spear even packs a level with a airplaine hi-jacking. Talk about fun. I never thought that a game could get so real and addicting. This series really introduced a whole new gameplay. I love both of these games. I can say by pretty much that i like this one better. I love it. If u liked the last one BUY this one!
1371 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember the first time I laid eyes on this game. I had been hearing about how awesome the Nintendo 64 was going to be from schoolmates as we eagerly anticipated the USA release of this system. I remember hearing how in demand it was and the ensuing shortage for the upcoming Christmas before I even saw it. Then one day I was Christmas shopping with my dad and happened to come across a demo set-up in the mall, and I finally got to see what the massive hype was about.
Then there are the special moves. Some of them are okay (like Diablo's "hot foot"), and some of them are not (like Chaos's "farts" and "puke"). Talk about weirdness. The character Vertigo is ridiculous. A dinosaur with the head of a cobra and the tail of a scorpion? Some special moves are hard to identify as what they're supposed to be. The controls aren't quite what you'd want. The characters are poor at jumping, and even slow and clumsy on ground. It's sometimes hard to identify if the move they are performing is a special move or just a normal one. Oh, I said something of the sort above, didn't I?
Gameplay 7/10:
2) No multiplayer :( would've made a great 2 or more player game I reckon.
This is a wonderfully made game. It's full of whimsy, fun, and beauty.
This game is awesome and any RPG fan will love to have this in their collection. I'd suggest buying used rather then spending 100+ dollars tho
- In some cases, the items have either been switched around or more were added. I'm referring to health and ammo. In the final level for example, I know for an absolute FACT there's only two plasma rounds in this one particular spot below the swinging hooks in the Super NES edition, but in the Genesis version there's four. A careful, thorough test needs to be done in order to figure out ALL the minor differences (of which there could be hundreds if we wanna get REALLY technical about it).
6379 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first of these games are the single player campaign missions which while fun ranger from easy to really really easy. The enemy A.I is at its best lackluster and at worse totally moronic. To tell you truth I never bothered much with the single player missions.
4450 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sins of the Fathers (first game): While primitive-looking by today's standards, this is a surprisngly deep and compelling game. The characters convey actual personality (from Gabriel's machismo to Grace's waspishness), and you can't help but be swept up in this story of voodoo and destiny. Even the midi music is pretty cool, though it might drive you insane if you stay in one area too long....
Soundwise, this game earns top marks in most areas. Atlus made a very good conscious decision to leave in the original Japanese opening and ending. And the game features over 12 hours of spoken dialogue, most of which is in the dating part of the game. The voice acting can sound a little forced sometimes, but overall it sounds very well done. The only thing that probably falls flat in the sound department is the background music. While not terrible, there's nothing really catchy or noteworthy, and the battle theme does sound a little out of place.
Such a good game!!
Overall, this is a great game. Online, the INCREDIBLE story (very creative and well put together), the races, the graphics, the price($$$), etc... If you have a PC and are low on $$$, and are looking for not a good, but a GREAT game that will last you for many years (for all ages 9+), StarCraft is for you!
Controls: The controls are completely flawless and perfectly responsive. Any game with perfect controls are completely playable based off that reason alone, but Final Fantasy VII utilized your controls in different ways many times so you gain the most from your experience. You snowboard, defend your allies by motorcycle, ride and race chocobos, fly the greatest airship in the Final Fantasy series, and battle intimidating monsters. Still the controls are a small part of what consists of this legendary game.
After playing for several years, I think I'm going to "graduate" to World of Warcraft (also by Blizzard) which I've noticed is quite similar in many ways. But I'm sure I will return to the world of Diablo quite often as there are still a few challenges left to conquer.
8954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best SNES EVER!!!
I loved Nox, but since I've revised my personal scoring system, I can only give it 4 stars. I'm saving 5 for that really unforgettable game, and although Nox was great fun, it really was too similar to Diablo and Revenant to outscore them.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
And so: This is one of the worst games I've played, it literally ruined the Superman experience, pick up Spider-Man for the PSX, N64 or Dreamcast and enjoy the greatness it has to offer!
For the price of one XBox system, you can purchase 10 great dreamcast games!
3240 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good, the price should have been cheaper for how old this game is. Game was just the way I played it years ago!
5989 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing is what i would say best describes it. i have the first one and the land in diablo II is 4x the size of diablo I and just as fun to explore. Blizzard improved on the cast having a lot more balance to each unique chacter with each having unique skills (spells) i give it five stars its amazing. the only drawbacks are that it is more complicated to get on battle.net and you will lose a lot of sleep! buy it! if you want more info on it e-mail me at jwp13@cs.com
Story:
7239 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I wish they would make a Gamecube side-scrolling Donkey Kong effort like the SNES games, just make the graphics better, retain the music quality and make more levels and longer. They included some lovely old games like the original DONKEY KONG arcade game, and a spaceman game for computer. There are big worlds, but that seems just about it. There's a lot of collecting, but the problem-solving is no fun. This series became really removed from it's huge SNES appeal.
4. Graphic. Other than character, and battle scene, they are completely 3-D. They did it without losing details. Much better than Xenogears (really!)
5/5
I would highly recommend this game. There is the enivitable question of wiether it is better than Civ2. That of course is tough compition but considering that Civ2 came out a few years ago AC was able to update some parts. I think AC has a slight egde but CIV2 was more impressive for its time.
- You can't skip the movie screens. Or whatever they are called. When you start a game you have to watch the intro thing every time, you just cannot skip it.
There are different effects your pals can have such as being slap happy which, as the name says, you need to slap them so you can sneak by sleeping enemies. The game play is always mixed up with disarming bombs, solving puzzles etc. If you can look past the game's extreme difficulty then go for it.
The musical score fits this game. Only FF6 (FF3 in the states) is done better. At no point in this game does the music not fit the scenario the player is currently traveling.
8408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the more interactive RPGs I've ever played--even to this day. I love Final Fantasy games, but Mario did it way better even back in 1996.
4. The inventory system was refreshingly un-tedious. Maybe it's not realistic, but it's a nice break from the routine of constantly rearranging your inventory.
The makers of Baldur's Gate got one under the radar by following their intuition and making a near perfect game of it's time. And yep, they changed the whole industry while they were at it.
6301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 .... For anyone who hasn't played this game and is looking for a good role-playing or adventure game, I can highly recommend this game. There is little I can say that previous reviewers have not already covered, but Planescape is an excellent example of what a role-playing game should be. Even though the graphics are no longer on the cutting edge, the game itself easily stands the test of time.
Mario 64 is a perfect launch game for the Nintendo 64 home console system. Looking at the controller for the N64, one might have been understandably skeptical due to the layout. However, Mario 64 is actually very easy to control and is a good introduction to getting gamer's accustomed to the new feel of the controller and it's new button layout.
Anyway even though VI is a better game, although a bit more hardcore. VII is still a great follow up for that game and was the game that got me hooked in the series (although I did played the first on on the old nes back in the day) and is on of the best RPGs ever made anyone into rpgs both western and Japanese ones will be happy with this game as long as there willing to sit threw the outdated graphics, they will find a very fun and likable game with great characters (although this is somewhat where final fantasy started going to stereotypical anime people) and a great story.
Silent Hill is hands down the greatest survival horror game I've played to date. If you love the genre, you'll love the game. Whether you get the physical copy of the game here, or a digital download (only $6 on PSN, compared to over $20 here) this is a fantastic game. Multiple endings and unlockable weapons will keep you coming back for more long after you've finished it once!
9689 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 If I could pick the most boring, esiest game in the world,I would pick this one. All you do is z+a=a picture. Throughout the levels you get things like bait and stuff, but unless your a serous camera fan, this game should be reccomended to no one.
9724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's one of the best twisted metal games that came out.
I've played quite a few games since last I played this and this still ranks as one of the best games I've ever played. It's a great worthwhile story which I think a lot of people would enjoy.
As for battles, by today's standards they might be rather simple, but at the time I was very impressed. It was the reason I bought WA in the first place, having seen a screen shot of a battle on the back of the Playstation box. The idea of going from 2-D field to a 3-D battle was new to me at the time, and made fighting monsters a little more entertaining.
This game is addictive as anything, the shooting is great, the violence is awesome, and the game play is phenominal. Controls are super easy and the graphics were great for their time. Do not hesitate to buy this game as you will love it and you will never stop playing it.
recommend writing down what you do, then if it doesn't work, do it backwards to

Game Boy is a very stable system. It rarely disfunctions. One problem is that when you turn on the Game Boy sometimes the Nintendo sign is messed up. Blowing into the game cartridge doesn't help. You need to re-insert the game cartridge, realligning it correctly. You could blow though, for good luck.
5668 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rayman 2 gets just about everything right- it is a game that was created with a sense of wonder and fun that draws you right in.
To close I would like to say I will definetly get FF Tactics Advance for the GBA.
- Graphics are really dated, 3D character models looked old even in 1997
Replay: Very low unless your like me and enjoy playing through this story over and over again 4/10
6375 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm a huge fan of RP games, and review a ton of them... Atfirst glance, this game seems like a rip-off of many other games outthere. Diablo or Baldur's Gate, anyone?
Of all the "classic" Sonic games and with the entire Sonic game library, this one fixes the flaws of the first game It's been re-issued countless times and is available with other Sonic games like Sonic's Mega Collection etc and available as individual game downloads on Steam.
6746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Simply add two 6 button genesis controllers, and you have yourself the finest console version of my favorite release in Mortal Kombat Console Port history to this date.
11. The way you can easily bypass critical lifesaving devices, such as the thermal goggles.
The set also came with a few bonuses of note. The first and probably most valuable of all, is that you get a certificate of authentication from Eijo Aonuma that is signed and numbered. The second is a laser etched metallic bookmark. For collectors this package is a pretty sweet deal. It's invaluable. The only thing I wish we could've gotten would have been to actually get all the extras the guides themselves actually came with. It is more or less the only thing I feel is missing and keeping it from being a complete package. Part of what made the guides collector's editions aside from the hardcovers was actually getting little bonuses that didn't come with the guide otherwise.
4877 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Those out there who decide to play a game based solely on the hype it creates, no doubt know how cool The Final Fantasies and The Lunar series are. But if you skipped over this one just because it did not create the Final fantasy type of hype prior to it's release, you missed something special.
1111 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ocarina Of Time is definitely the best game on the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64,Perfect Dark and F Zero X are awesome but Ocarina Of Time is the best out of any other game on the system. What else is there to say about a game that changed the way we look at Role Playing games forever?The graphics are awesome(some Game Cube games don't look this good) the music adds excitement and the challenges are excellent. Whereas the difficulty in Super Mario 64 stayed pretty much the same throughout the game Ocarina Of Time gets harder when you get to be a better player. Also you get an extra heart after beating bosses because youll need it. Its very challenging I still haven't beaten it and am not sure if I ever will. Easy games can be a lot of fun but they just aren't as substantial as a game like this. The challenge makes it fun as well as the graphics and controls. Its just a great game and is a must for any Zelda fan or just someone who loves challenging games.
3784 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played Descent since it first appeared; and in a time when everyone else was content to produce first-person view games where your opponents were little more than second-rate scaled bitmaps, Descent gave the player an opportunity to combat real three dimensional foes in all three dimensions. Plus the foes-insane robots driven mad by an alien virus, moved like nothing else, and seemed intelligent. There was nothing else like it on the market, yet somehow it missed the vein, and people flocked to games like Doom & Doom II. When Descent II appeared in 1996, I thought for sure that the game would take off, but it didn't happen. However, it wasn't about to stop me from enjoying a terrific game. Now we have arrived to this place and once again Interplay has unleashed a new Descent, and one that takes full advantage of 3D cards and more powerful computers.
Spyro's debut does have a few problems, though. Seeing as how this is Spyro's very first adventure I won't be TOO harsh. Am I the only one who thinks the play control could have been better? It's not that I have a tough time controlling Spyro. Well, to be honest, I DID have trouble controlling him at first. Spyro doesn't QUITE take off when you hit up, down, left or right on the directional pad. There's a split second delay before moving forward. Maybe the creators of the game thought this was part of the realism since, after all, you're moving a DRAGON. A BIG creature like a dragon won't move forward right away. Then again, Spyro is small compared to the dragons you have to rescue.
So the game had pixelled characters and VERY linear gameplay. That's not the reason to get it. The reason to buy Blade Runner is to get yourself immersed in the Blade Runner universe. This, more than anything else, is what the accomplishes in spades.
3052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you own a PS, PSone, PS2, or a (shutter) PS3. Then you need this game.
1. The community, "There's a map for that":
This is one of the most interesting games I've ever played. The storyline wasn't terribly original, but it was presented in a very effective manner. I especially enjoyed the graphic novel scenes that separated each chapter. Also innovative were the levels where you took part in Payne's nightmares.
The levels seem much smaller too. Someone said there is 50 levels, what are you on about? There is not 50 levels.... it would have been nice to be able to unlock some of the levels of the last one, but instead you have to play the new ones, which have more potholes, things to crash and fall into then anything fun to do.
5282 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a very cool game made specifically for adults and older teenagers. Some complain of it's challenges, but it's an adult game, and the challenge is needed. Being that I can blow through FFVIII, without an ounce of trouble, it's refreshing to see a game with a significant amount of challenge. Now onto the technical aspects. The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen. The seamless blend of FMV and character graphics adds the all important atmosphere quotient to a game. The Blade Runner style environments of the first disc are a refreshing change from the cutesy perky environments of other recent games. From there the game buries deep into depravity, going to places I have never gone in games, that makes it worth the price by itself. The only trouble I have with the game, is the incredibly long load times, after you die. They are an extraordinary annoyance, but after getting back into the game, it just doesn't matter, and the endings are great too. Just an innovative, atmospheric, plot driven game made for adults. I've been looking for one of these for a long time.
7925 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great overall!
Perhaps the most revealing evidence that "Yoshi's Island" is not a Mario game is its original Japanese title: "Super Mario: Yoshi's Island". Only when Nintendo brought the game to the States did the title "Super Mario World 2" become associated with this release. Most revealing, however, is the 2002 Gameboy Advance port in the "Super Mario Advance" series, where Nintendo reverted back to its original Japanese title of "Super Mario: Yoshi's Island". Likewise, although called "Super Mario World 2", this game is not a sequel to the original Mario world in the conventional series, but appears first chronologicay. Nintendo released the loose sequel, the 1998 "Yoshi's Island" for the N64, and the 2006 "Yoshi's Island DS" for the DS.
Bottom Line: Buy Final Fantasy 5/6 right now. If you're like me, you'll cherish it forever.
598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, I'm going to have to agree with Darth Vader on the strong part. But as for the force part, I'm nonchalant. Star Wars Rogue Squadron begins somewhere in between Star Wars Episode IV and Episode VI. Let me just say, you'll be visiting place in the Star Wars universe, and doing missions that have no bearings to the movies, which is good with me. The graphics in the game are some of the best you'll ever see on the N64. The music and the atmosophere of the game are very well done. This is, I would say, the best Star Wars Rogue Squadron game ever made! Oh, and by the way, yes I have played Star Wars Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader. I fully recommend this game! And thats my review! Remember, "Be a customer. Not a consumer! Period"- Jake Smithers
Super Mario 64 is a game that all master N64 gamers have to own!
Add to all that three difficulty levels, cheats that must be unlocked with speed, precision and overall know-how, hidden stages and hidden characters. Not only do you have a legendary FPS, you've also found nearly limitless replay value. Goldeneye is more than just a very good game, it's the stuff legends are made of. It's a game you'll want to play with your grandkids years from now.
The story revolves around you finding your wife and child shot by someone and you go out for revenge as a renegade cop of sorts and uncover a large conspiracy. The characters are completely uninteresting, look much too similar, and the comic book style text which breaks things up are as boring and dull as an episode of NYPD Blue.
How are they now? They're still among the N64's best, and only a little age can be detected. Diddy Kong's face could use a little polishing (which I'm sure they did in the DS remake), as could a few of the other characters. But as the tracks themselves, they look good. The only things that look like real relics of the past are the occasional 2D graphics in 3D space, and given that I've seen a few Wii games employ the same effect... maybe it doesn't look all that bad by today's standards. Heh
3.) No different mode to pick like " Hard , Very Hard , Extremely Hard "
The one fault with this game is that there is a lot of slowdown (lag) if you choose to play online. Granted, this is true with any online game, but because you can have up to 8 people in a game at one time (and you usually do, especially if you're playing Hell cows) then the game tends to lag. This wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact that, if you die in Hell difficulty (and nightmare too) you lose experience. Given that it takes more than three hours to level up when you get past level 80, losing experience can be a major annoyance. I once had all my 45 minutes worth of experience erased because I got too close to a cow and then the game lagged. Frankly, here I'm not blaming the lag, I'm blaming the game designers for putting that stupid feature in the game.
2326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game all the way! loved it as a kid and still love it to this day.

This is a renter first. It's entertaining while it lasts, but unfortunately, the feeling doesn't last very long.
All in all, with the Dreamcast becoming more affordable, I'd suggest you pick this game up. It's easily the best of the series.
Puzzles in this game were I suppose challenging for child but they were not impossible. This is a great game for all ages and a great buy as well.
1. Beautiful, immersive, atmospheric worlds. Monumental architecture. Eerie music. Breathtaking cut-scenes. Ugly, creepy arch-villain.
Story: Cloud, a former SOLDIER(kind of like an elite squad) member is recruited by Avalanche to help bring down the Shinra Corporation whose reactors are draining the planet of its energy. Where it goes from there involves a being from the sky, genetic experimentation and mind freak-outs.
The music sets the mood perfectly in this game. I kind of like video game music from time to time, but I own this album and listen to it regularly. The music can be serene and creepy for underground areas or drive powerful metal guitar riffs for those more intense moments. Again, everything is paired perfectly (environments and music) and not a single area rubs you the wrong way. There's also a hidden music track on this game if you put it in to a CD player which is kind of funny, so check it out.
The storyline of the game is pretty straightforward. Adam, the friend of returning characters Axel and Blaze, has been captured by Mr. X. Skate, who is Adam's little brother, and Max, an old friend of Axel's, join the fight to save Adam. You start off the fight on the city streets, then on a long bridge, you will also fight your way through an amusement park, a baseball stadium, a typical elevator level, on a big boat, a tropical island, a robot factory, and ultimately Mr. X's headquarters.

Anyway let's get into the review. Something about basing video games off Disney movies in the early to mid 90's really brought out the graphical power of the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. The Lion King is no exception. Just LOOK at how beautiful and crisp the animations, graphics and sound are. I think the Super NES version is slightly superior over the Genesis version simply because the graphics are slightly more colorful, the backgrounds richer, the sprites of the two lions Mufasa and Simba are livelier (and by the way, they're both playable in the game but you can't select which one you want to play as which is the only flaw I can find), the music is MUCH better due to resembling actual African rhythms and beats, and the Super NES version is more polished overall. The Super NES even features more sound effects.
From Nara Shadda its off to Kyle's home planet of Sulon, an agroworld where he must find the old family robot, WeeGee, who can play the encrypted disk. Kyle also receives Rahn's lightsaber and before long his destiny is set. The way LucasArts handled the application of Jedi powers is brilliant, as is their ease of use. Players gain `stars' by finding secret areas, these stars are then applied to an ever increasing selection of neutral Jedi abilities (Super speed, Force Jump, Force Seeing and Force Pull). After these are mastered, the player has the option to become either a Light or Dark Jedi with corresponding powers. While the Dark Side powers are nice and flashy, they are not nearly as useful as the Light Side abilties.
the graphics were stunning..games like marvel vs capcom, sonic, air force delta, spawn, virtua fighter amoung others really stand up even today.
Well, as I've said, its the very first Pokemon game! If you want to experience what MADE the entire Pokemon series, BUY IT!
9047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Easy at times, hard at others, this game will keep you playing until you beat it, and then some. This is a side scroller that deserves some love.. a lot of love. These graphics are sharper than any GameBoyAdvance game and this game is simply done magnificantly. This is definitely my most favorite side scrolling adventure game ever.
3803 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of the most fun RTS I have ever played. You get to slap around your minions, torture the good guys, and pretty much have a blast being evil. The bile demons are great, and the dark mistresses laughs are creepy. This has a very good sense of dark humor, and I would not recommend it to anyone under 13, or anyone who didn't like dark humor.
The most positive aspect of Final Fantasy VI however is the story. Final Fantasy VI tackles a surprisingly large number of real world issues, the vast majority of which have not been addressed by any RPG before or since, ranging from suicide, political warfare, technology advances, pregnancy, economic downfall, romantic scenarios that are very deep. The degree of sophistication required to even mention these types of deep themes represented in a rpg is exceedingly rare for a game in the mid 90s.
This is not a war game (though it can be played that way).. instead it is an influence and strategy game.. Without being too longwinded, I think its strong points are (relative to Civ II)
5435 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 the game was good but, every time i beat the game, it never goes anywhere further after defeating the boss. plus the music messes up a lot at times.
My husband and I played this game til we all but wore it out.
7537 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I think of Zelda, I think of this game, one that is more polished than the NES Zelda games and more traditional than the newer ones.
1080 also has a few secret riders and boards within the game.
You also have the option to switch between Sonic & Tails, Sonic solo, and Tails solo when playing the one-player mode.
More choices to make. Hero, or villain? You can't finish the game as a villain, but you can still have plenty of fun.
8877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Illusion of Gaia is an interesting rpg. There were many on the snes but this one is in its own column. It plays very similar to Zelda when it comes to battle but with some new things thrown in that I won't spoil. However, the story seems to lack a little at times but that's only in comparison to other games like final fantasy 4&6 and chronology trigger. On its own, very good and worth a playthrough/buy
6048 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is definately the best one on my shelf. It never gets old. It's one of those games where you don't care if you beat it, it is still fun just roaming around irritating the cops, stealing cars, and running over elvis impersonators (very cool). Definately worth the money, and definately the best game I've seen.
1649 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now this one was way more fun than TM-1. What was fun was the endings etc where it would show the little video clips. Liked seein them they were crazy. This game was fun though for sure to play with friends and all.
9966 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This one is a bit different but lots of fun. It is not quite as action packed as the second version.
This game also marked the first appearance of the green-haired mad-man Mr. Wright - the unofficial mascot of SimCity. This game is usually pretty inexpensive so do not hesitate to pick this gem up.
I was not dissapointed by any stretch of the imagination. This game takes what was great about the first one and built on that greatness of that first game and the result is what I consider the best video game of it's time. I have such fond memories of playing this video gaem that I sometimes cry for the day when this game is back in my house to play again as it's so wonderful and fun to play.
P.S.
If proof was ever needed that 2-D games can still be plenty of fun, Einhander is that proof. I revel in the fact that it outshines many more modernized games on all fronts despite the old-fashioned 2-D gameplay. The only exception is the Wasp missile being able to seek and destroy on-screen enemies that have yet to align with your ship (and certain objects in the background, too...that's a hint). Some might complain about the lack of a two-player mode, but in my opinion the gloomy suicide mission aspect of the game would be jeopardized if it weren't played solo. With three ships to select from and no shortage of secrets (including two additional ships), the replay value is strong, but even if that weren't the case, you'd want to play it again and again anyway, because it's crafted with such tender, loving care and, on many levels, it's flawless. I have no qualms about calling Einhander one of the all-time great games for the PlayStation. Square would be well advised to re-release it (along with Final Fantasy Tactics and Xenogears). Don't hesitate to grab a copy if you come across one, as I for one am NOT selling mine!
Had this console not been remembered as being fantastic and interesting, I would be giving it 3 stars. But, unfortunately, there really isn't anything very interesting about this console. The graphics aren't very good compared to the PSX or even some of the better stuff on the Saturn, like Panzer Dragoon Saga or Virtua Fighter 2, the Shenmue Saturn demo, Sega Rally, and Daytona Championship Circuit Edition, to name a few. Lots of games I've played have very low resolution textures, often sprawled out. The games themselves just aren't very interesting or fun to play, even in multiplayer.
he seems to be a member of the "elitist RPGer" group.
2740 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This needs to be remade on the current systems. This game alone is reason enough to invest in a Nintendo 64 gaming system. The controls are amazing and the gameplay is addictive. 5/5
The only thing I didn't like then is the same thing I don't like now.....the crate pushing.
Finally, like many adventure games, Silent Hill was quite linear. A lot of the game was finding a key to open a door so that you could kill some stuff, find another key, open the next door, etc.
It turned out to be a very challenging yet entertaining game. When you start the game you begin in the frozen Siberia; no press start, options, select your character, it really began just like you were flipping through the pages of a comic book. Also as the game progresses you have the option of choosing between different x-men such as Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Psylock, and Beast! Later you can even use Magneto but you have to beat him first; he's a boss character you can use, now that was another original idea of this game that made it great. Each character has very unique abilities; so as you progress through the game you will find some are much better than others at getting through levels. Another interesting thing about using the different characters each one makes the game feel different. Playing as Gambit it feels like your playing an adventure side-scroller like Strider or Castlevania. Playing as Beast kinda gives it a feel like an incredible hulk game, Magneto feels like your playing Vector Man for those who know about that classic game also for the Genesis.
7929 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I never got into the hype of Mortal Kombat when it came out in arcades; it was good on arcade while the game lasted and then shipped to SEGA and SNES. Playing it on SNES was pretty boring for me for three reasons. One was the lack of blood. It was probably the most interesting feature of the arcade game. Two was the controller problem. I could never get a lot of moves done the way I asked for. Three was the sheer boredom of it. The game is very one dimensional for me. There is not much to do except memorize the combo moves for each player and then the fatality move. After them, there is nothing else anymore. The tournament is interesting, but once the ladder is climbed to the top, that's it. There isn't much to be said. All in all, Mortal Kombat doesn't cut it for me.
Nice aresonal of weapons(K3G4 will rip through those flak jackets)
Twisted Metal Black: First Playstation 2 release and back in the hands of the original creators who reformed under the name Incognito entertainment. Best Graphics easily so far and better than even the game to come after and gameplay thats arguably just or good or better than any of the other games. With nearly as many features as 4 including the first twisted metal game that was online capable(with a special disc not all copies could do that and official servers are shut down now) this game is considered the best by playstation 2 fans and many fans of the twisted metal series.
Alright, on with the Review:
7909 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I used to play the crap out of this in the arcades, spending crazy quarters on it! Once it was coming to home systems, I was like it's on!!!! I had both a Genesis & SNES. I chose to get it on Genesis first. Shortly after I got it for the Super too. MK has 7 characters: Scorpion,Liu Kang,Raiden,Sub-Zero,Kano,Johnny Cage & Sonya. Each have signiture/tradmark moves much like Street Fighter 2. And the characters also have their own fatalities, which you do after winning 2 rounds. Both versions (Sega & Nintendo) have pros and cons....Here's SNES'....
8616 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's just as you remember no different lol! But still fun for groups who are retro an into snes. I play it with my gf.
9842 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. Not a whole to say that web reviews haven't already said. Made me feel young again that's for sure!
1- It shows its age. Its been about two years since the release of the game, and although it uses the same graphic engine with icewind dale and baldurs gate2, it is not advanced as they are in the graphics. Resolution is limited to 640x480, but because it had very well designed backgrounds and character models, you don't even notice the negatives. What makes it better than icewind dale and baldurs gate2 in graphics, in my opinion, is the way the npc s are designed. In baldurs gate and icewind dale, if you have a thief character for example, unless you buy a different armor it looks like the rest of the thiefs in the town. While in torment each npc that can be added to your group, has its own design and sound. Believe me ,in baldurs, it really gets boring to hear the same voice from all mages while they are casting, while in torment your npc mages has their own voices.
7865 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was the first FPS game I ever played. Deciding to try it out again I decided to order it and played through it.
The cons: some animations are cut out,must have six button controller or it won't be fun,charge moves make some fighters uneven like Blanka and E.Honda
It's been awhile since I actually played it, but if I remember right, you can play 3 different classes. A fighter, a thief or a mage. The fighter class is by far the best one to go with.
1557 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 IT'S WORKING IN MY PLAYSTATION AS IT SHOULD... LOVE THAT I HAVE THIS GAME AGAIN. REMEMBERED AS A KID THAT THIS WAS THE BEST GAME EVER!!! ITS AWESOME!!!
Right, this game can be either the easiest thing you've ever done, or a hellish nightmare. It all depends on the difficulty. On easy the enemies are weak and your vehicles are practically invincible. On medium the enemies are more numerous, but still you take a while to kill. On hard enemies are tough, and you aren't that great. On Jedi enemies are weak, but so are you, you can die very fast if you're not careful.
1313 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked great
Some puzzles were very difficult to solve. I had to replay the 1940's scene many times just to get my idiotic character to say one particular line just so I could move the radio dial to enter a room, which would enable me to finally finish the scenario in one minute.
7968 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so old, I have played this game when I was a kid. I lost it at my grandmas house a few years ago, and we have always wanted to play with it again. I am a adult, and I love this game. Its a classic.
8668 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very good game, a little tricky but still a good game. It is nothing like super mario kart and I think that is good
9526 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not too many games make you think. This game had me taking notes. As a general rule, I don't take notes for anything. That's how interested as I was. Considering the age of this game, it looks just as modern today as it did when it first came out.
GRAPHICS
Starting out kind of fast you will notice the game makes a more pace able progress in the story line. The story isn't as long as "Xenogears", but at least you will understand what is going on if you might happen to miss something earlier. Even on my 10th or so time going through the game I still just go through for the story and the game play, but for the most part the story. You have a main villain of course and he goes by the name of Sephiroth. You will meet all kinds of exciting characters and go to new towns that are perfectly designed. Like any other story there are sad times and the good times, but we all want to remember the good times. As we all know the story is one of the best and it keeps you coming back for more. If they just made this game a book, it would definitely be on the top 10 list in no time. That is how good the story is, it's hard to put into words how much you should like it. So just enjoy and move on with the game.
Although many people stopped making games for the Nintendo 64, there are some good agmes that still continue to push that pedal to the metal. Diddy Kong is one of them, if you really love the challenge. Considering that mostly all racing games are exactly the same as you could possible imagine, there are some games that still stand that gameplay. If you've loved Mario Kart 64, you'll definitely love Diddy Kong Racing.
8620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best racing games for SNES, the music is awesome!
2050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I Got This Game In Excellent Condition In June Of 2003, But I Have Loved It Since It Came Out In America On February 8, 1999. I Recommend Buying It Without EVER Renting It! There Are A Couple Of Mini-Games that are not good for your controller and can blister your hand. they involve spinning the Control Stick. and you have to do so vigorously otherwise you'll lose. I Have all eight games. I'm nealy 21 years old and I Love Mario Party!
I think that the closest game to "Thief" out there is "Deus Ex". I liked Deus Ex a lot better than "Thief". Deus Ex does a better job if involving your character in the storyline, and it has a much greater variety of skills, tools and weapons that you can use. In addition, it has the all-important character development aspect that "Thief" lacks. However, if you love "Deus Ex", you will still enjoy "Thief", and it is worth buying.
2470 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is good, but SSBM is much better. My favorite character here is Donky Kong.
6163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works just the way it should. This was the console itself, with no wires or extra things. Absolutely no problems with the thing.
6122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game Plays perfect, everything as described.
8) Good sound effects and music
5913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Notice the devisiveness of most of the customer reviews of this game... There is a reason for this; FFVIII is a definite love/hate title. It's rare that I find anyone who says "Eh, FFVIII was OK."
3311 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just recently replayed this game for the first time in like 10 years. I had only played it on the PS1 back in the day. Gotta say it holds up really well. The graphics still look nice, the puzzles & action are as fun as ever. My only complaint it the controls are kinda hard to get used to. Definitely one of the early 3d games that hadn't figured out how to utilize the joystick well. It can be irritating at times. But otherwise, still a great game all these years later. And the n64 port is nice because there's really no loading at all. Pick it up if you loved it back in the day, it's still great!
The graphics are simply neat. Certain buildings especially the gardens and fountains serve the double purpose of adding beauty to the environment and providing relief to the citizens. This helps to attract people to your city, which means more citizens. More citizens mean more jobs and more jobs mean more buildings to be built to erase unemployment. So far so good! But doesn't all this sound like spending a whole lot of money. Help!!! The city vaults are running out of money. This is where trade and industry come to your rescue. Open a trade route with a friendly city and with careful management your city vaults will have enough so as not to keep you worried.
2687 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It looked good, but the joy stick was broken. I had to pay to get it fixed and it still won't be as good as it should be.
7442 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It Works Great!
I have played most of the Colin Mc Rae, Need for speed, Grid and Dirt2 games before. I also tried my hands at more simulation oriented games like GTR, GTR2, GP Legends...
The bottom line: this is an altogether gaming masterpiece spanning three discs of epic conflict, timeless romance, and magical battles. If your forte in gaming is roleplaying in general or the Final Fantasy series, then I highly recommend this game!
Gameplay D
The second complete worst part of this game is the following: THERE IS NO LONGER AN EQUIP OPTION! what happened to equipping weapons and armor? there is a way to upgrade your weapon, but that consumes serious time and involves ridiculous side-quests that are extremely boring. don't even bother going through the stress of completing these quests
6382 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have gone backwards in my delta force experience having bought DF#-landwarrior first and then buying up the first two just to have more missions to play. It is certainly been worth it! All the delta force games take place out doors which makes them different. It's realistic action were you have to snipe your way around the perimeter to make your way into a camp to complete your mission objective. Of the three delta force games i own i think df2 has the most original and interesting missions.
8062 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have had Elite Force for years, and I have to say that it is just as fun as it was when I first played the game. You really do feel like you are part of the Voyager crew as the entire cast (minus Kes) returns to reprise their roles we all know and love from the series. The story is sharp and the acting is even sharper. Fighting the Borg face to face is really amazing, talking to the crew is even cooler. Fans of Star Trek should love this game, fans of Voyager WILL loves this game. A must have for all my fellow Trekkies/Trekkers/And fans who don't like the label. Buy this game!! A MustHAVE!!!
1. Gameplay. The gameplay for this game is fantastic. As I mentioned previously, the game is fast. Probably the fastest racing game on the SNES. Also, the controls are fluent. The structure of the game is amazing. You have three leagues. The knights, queens, and kings. Each one is harder than the last. Also the more you unlock, the tougher the stages become. I highly recommend this game.
869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved it!!! One of the best games in this genre. Good story, and even has the guy from the first Terminator who protects the woman (can't think of his name) as one of the main actors in the cutscenes, and James Earl Jones. High production values. The game play is top notch.
Half a star for graphics but bad engine. No stars for the controls. No stars for game play. One star for music and sound. And half a star for the fun factor. That's all. Hope Activision's third attempt isn't a . . . dump.
Interestingly enough, Miyamoto has said that he was not entirely happy with "Super Mario World", as he felt the game had been rushed to publication and not completed to his exacting standards. However, just like "Mega Man 3" (a game also apparently rushed), "Super Mario World" is as good as it gets. I wonder what further changes Miyamoto would have made. Unfortunately we'll never know.
Simple gameplay equals fun gameplay. Keep it short and sweet. So now, I must say I love this game. It has really good graphics for 2000 (I always liked the graphics) and the gameplay is simple and addictive. I was a complete idiot to say it sucked. Well, now I know.
So If you have an N64, then get this game!
4526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is excellent, no doubt about it! The only thing is, it actually frays my nerves to be so realistically hunted by Aliens. I had a great time playing the Alien role, there's no better feeling than being the hunter, but I'm still drinking my Gummi Berry juice to get by on the other roles. Give it a try!
There are various approaches to winning, many wonders to be discovered, vast lands to be explored and hours of fun to be had. Just one more turn...
The story basically throws players into the fast lane right off the bat. The opening video montage leads directly into a late-night raid on the planet's largest governing body, the Shinra, a raid in which the player is actively a part. As events unfold, the point becomes clear; you're a mercenary, aiding a terrorist organization in their efforts to destroy a significant portion of the city to make a point that the Shinra cannot ignore. Five minutes into the game and already it's covered more mature material than the previous six combined. Make no mistake, Final Fantasy VII is not a game you'll want to hand your six year old to help him pass some time in front of the TV. Not only does it cover some rough psychological terrain (mortality, semitism, terrorism and political espionage are discussed, in depth, and confronted... just to name a few) but the characters and dialog themselves aren't nearly as squeaky clean as they were in previous installments.
506 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 You know you're in trouble when other terrible video games are compared to you. Though only a little worse than Charlie's Angels (GameCube) and not as bad as Hidden Invasion (PlayStation2), Fighting Force is the difinitive bad adventure-fighting game that fits on the same crap list as Burning Fight. Even Brawl Bros and Peace Keepers are better than this, and that's saying a lot.
*Everything and everyone moves
People introduced to the FF series at part VII might not be able to get past the graphics, which were fine for them time but lousy by today's standards. But for the less cynical player, this is the holy grail of RPGs. This is proof that less is more, and the music in these games rivals anything that came later in the series. Having said that, the later installments in the series are great, but it is important not to forget where it all started.
2417 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 loved this game growing up. I had no issues with the game working
3836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the perfect example of what videogames can acomplish to become a truly gripping experience. This game was as well developed as any book or movie with excelent use of moody setting and diverse & imaginative gameplay this is truly an unforgettable experience. In a similar way that prior games like Quest for Glory, there were 3 different "career" paths that made the game a unique experience to each class; the integration of the different skills to the storyline made it almost like 3 different games. Besides the tremendous gameplay the main thing that set this game apart for me was the great atmosphere, everything here is just right; the monsters are scary and have their own distinct sound effects that can help you spot them before thay are actually in front of you; I recall many "jump ou of your seat" moments while moving along "cleared" levels only to hear a cry of "Die" or "Kill me" while beign hit from behind with a pipe. The tragic stories of the crewmembers unforld via audiologs that really made them more than another faceless NPC; I remember the chilling audiologs telling the tale of creation the first "nanny" ...and then meeting her afterwards.
3847 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 LGS stands for Looking Glass Studios. The company has closed down last May. It is sad to see an innovative company being shutdown because the games they make are innovative and intelligent.
Warning! This game is very addictive! I can't stop playing until I get all of the crystals, gems, and relics. Even though my goal is to complete the game, it's entertaining to watch all of the different ways Crash can die (see what happens when a frog catches you or when you get stuck by the porcupine fish). The game offers much variety which keeps it very interesting, but is still easy to learn because of the limited number of controls. If you ever get stuck and can't figure out how to get a crystal, gem, or relic, there are several walkthrus that can be found on the web. I highly recommend buying this game. I can't imagine anybody not liking it, unless they just like the hardcore shooting games like Quake (hey...in this game, Crash has a bazooka). If you like this game and racing games, I also highly recommend Crash Team Racing (CTR). I can't wait until the new Crash Bandicoot game comes out for the PS2.
553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a fan of Myst and Riven, I would not put this game in the same category. However, it does equally well for it's type. Myst and Riven don't have a main character that you are per se, whereas in this game, you have a name and a face.
8367 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you are looking for a good Star Wars game I wouldn't pick this. It sucks. That being said, I collect Star Wars games so this was going to be in my collection one way or another. It was 5 bucks and it's a fun addition to my collection.
Still, this game is the first of the 3D RTS genre (or at least, the first to do it with any real style) and the yardstick by which all future comers will be measured - it's still a wonderful game.
The most notable and important change in Fallout 2 is better NPC AI and controls. In the original Fallout NPCs were almost useless (except Dogmeat). You control options from chemical usage to weapon selection. In the end, the truth is that Fallout 2 is another outstanding RPG and expands on its predecessor impressively with more places, graphics, sounds and gameplay. If you like RPGs at all, pick up Fallout 2. You won't regret it.
There is less action than the other survival horror games, but in a game like this, it is not a big loss. The game is more about solving puzzles than blowing monsters into oblivion. Unlike RPGs, there are no experiece points, no levils, no benefit to fighting every single creature. Running from fights is often the best move.
Living conditions play a major role in how the game goes along. If they deteriorate, people are going to physically leave, moving out of the city before the player's eyes. Of course, an exodus like this can cause major problems in providing employment to much needed services. If people have no food or taxes too high they are likely to resort to crime or even rioting. The "god" effects (though optional--can be turned off) are absolutely astounding! Keep them happy and the rewards are great--anger them and suffer their wrath!
4291 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good fun game with clunky space flight controls, but still fun
Or customize a scenario and to your desire of battle and break rank and trash the computer on your own terms!!
If you've ever been in a multiplayer game of Q3 with 14 different human players running around like chickens with their heads chopped off, you know what the experience is like. Granted, there is not as much of a variety in weapons as one would like, but this is like the classic set that you learn...
It is one of the only snowboarding games on the N64, which was one of the reasons i bought it. Another reason is the outstanding multiplayer coordination. I bought this as soon as I played it at a friend's house. You unfortunatley play with only 2 players at a time, but it is still fun to play your friend head to head. There are 6 courses, and under single player you can also do half pipe and air make. There are 5 characters that you can use to race, and more of which you can unlock. since there are only 60 head to head course combinations, there are other things you can do, like trick or time attacks.
9998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Whew!!!!!!! What MORE could I say about this awesome game? I mean, you have two of the best video game characters of all-time joining together and saving the universe. The graphics were pretty good for its time and has excellent gameplay and soundtrack that will keep you coming back for more action!!! If you own a Genesis (or NES, SNES, Game Boy) and if you are looking for some GREAT action, then this game is DEFINITELY the one to get!!!!!
While it's not quite the ultimate FPS that UT or Q3 are, it takes the best elements of these games and combines them with the best element of Half-Life- the story.
Another great classic from Acclaim. The game is no sequal...I think. But it is a must have for any true turok fan.
676 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game. Great condition
7215 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game.
Also, the Knife and Bow Gun in this game, they are OVERPOWERED! Four slashes can kill your average Zombie. About 12 Bow gun arrows will take a Zombie down, as opposed to the 20+ slashes and arrows in RE2. Not to mention that if you combine Regular Bow Gun Arrows with explosive powder, you have the most powerful weapon in the game. However, there are not many of these in the game.
2112 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I was a kid, my cousin would never let me play it because it was his "newest game he had", while I had to play with my sega genesis, but once he sold it to me and I got it, I felt in love with the game.
6947 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game. Mortal Kombat has always been one of my favorite games and the chance to play it on this system was great.
M.Bison
The game has a lot of nice bonus features as well. As you complete missions and earn higher medals, three bonus missions will appear, plus you will gain access to new ships, including the Millenium Falcon and a captured Imperial TIE Interceptor. There is also a passcode screen, allowing you to enter codes to unlock all sorts of interesting options, including a fourth bonus level and the Naboo Starfighter. There is even a code to allow you to fly a Buick sedan against the Empire! The codes themselves are pretty easy to get. There are several sites on the Internet that have them.
At it's core, JPRE is a simple, run around and shoot em up shooter. It has good graphics, some nice music (I do like the jazz/rock theme), but whether you like it or not is really up to personal taste. If you like mindless action games with guns...lots of guns...then you might like this. With many emulators on the internet, why not try downloading it and giving it a try? You just might find yourself getting a laugh or two messing around with those crazy janitors.
1665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well here's the lowdown, the twisted fighting, plot, and cars are back in this hit sequel to the best selling series Twisted Metal. TM2 brings you back into the Twisted Metal Competition. But this time, it's a one way trip 'round the world. Battle in L.A. to Hong Kong and leave a trail of destruction behind you. TM2 introduces a few new characters into the fray: Twister, Grasshopper, Shadow, Axel, and Mr. Slam. Duke it out with a wide variety of old favorited weapons to new and improved weapons like the napalm, remote detonator, and the ricochet bomb. Beat all your opponents and you might get a chance to have an audience with Calypso, the twisted creator of the Twisted Metal Competition, and have your wishes fullfilled.
3396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i just purchased this and i couldn't be anymore happier that i did. i never owned a Sega based consle before and this is gonna rock. i can't wait to start playing all the games that could play on it ranging from Gta to Golf. i'm so happy i made this decision, funny how it looks like a Playstation one but i also like that it's able to play music and movies on it. i found a game i really wanted for this and it was motivating enough for me to buy this great system. i'm not sure about the Sega Saturn right now but i heard it's gotten underated overseas. anyway this system is a must have for anyone who likes Sega games. It was totally worth the money i shelled out to get this
Later...
A must have.
Blahdieblahblah.
8225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Video games are not made this good anymore.
2424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
916 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great Nintendo game for multiple players. Very satisfied.
The game says it's rated "Everyone", but I'd keep it away from kiddies younger than 10 or so. While you have infinate lives and no health meter, the deaths are pretty gruesome, even without blood (demons snapping kid's back, other demons kill and actually start EATING the kid are among the many demises).
7340 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing old school game love it!!
-Why are people complaining about visuals, they get a 9 on my book.. well for it's time atleast..
7056 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I decided to buy Nightmare Creatures on a whim, there were no other things to get and I was bored. This game, besides being frustrating at times, was pretty in depth, dark, gloomy, and pretty entertaining. I would say it's worth a purchase if you can look over the minor technicalities.
Other things I don't like about Tekken 3. Despite having excellent graphics, the music is a bunch of horrible, repetitive techno sounds that hardly make me feel compelled to continue playing the game. Oh, and by the way, even though the graphics are really a notch above the rest, there's absolutely no reason to jump with joy when looking at them. Since the fighting is just as basic and uninspiring as that of, oh I don't know, Killer Instinct (another terrible game) you quickly stop caring about how the game looks. In fact, I'd say the fighting engine is EXACTLY like that old Super Nintendo game Killer Instinct. Extremely uninteresting. When someone throws a punch, it's so boring to watch that you just don't care about it. That's what Tekken 3 is all about. Having a fighting engine that's so boring you don't even care if you win or lose.
2154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 had to order this since the one i got on ebay didn't come with the expansion and i needed to in order to play Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask
WCW Thunder is and never was perfect, though. For one thing, the game quickly becomes rather easy. You can just pile drive your opponent over and over again into oblivion if you like or take a stop sign upside a guy's head a dozen or more times and pin him easily. The clumsy combination moves actually become a good thing here because it is sometimes a challenge to perform that special killer move your wrestler is famous for and end the match in style. The graphics are decent but not great, and my Playstation seems to have a few hitches in its gitty-up when it tries to render large numbers of wrestlers all at once in Battle Royal mode. I still enjoy playing WCW Thunder, though. It looks a lot like the earlier WCW Nitro game, but it plays a lot better in my opinion. There are better games available now, even for the Playstation, but I have a feeling that I'll be enjoying this game on and off for many years to come.
In short, both games are still great values and enjoyment isn't terribly undermined by your having played Jedi Outcast - though it's obviously not the mind-blowing experience of 1997 (still, it's aged better than the Spice Girls). If you've got a P4 - it's just an excuse to turn the graphics up to excessive. I first played this on my P200MMX computer with VoodooII graphics acceleration, and enjoyed every minute. On my P4, I had no Windows XP problems, and was able to crank graphics to the full.
However, please. I was looking at the prices listed for this product and if one is hunting for a good deal, the ones you'll find on Amazon is your best bet because there are some interesting sellers on E-Bay that really think you'll pay nearly 100.00 for a PS-1 game. I mean really folks. A PS-1 game? The PS-1 system doesn't even sell as much as this game is trying to be sold for! Yeah... I mean...true it was a good game but then so is Monopoly and Battleship but you don't see people shelling out 80.00 to 100.00 for em!
-This is the first MMX game, and it shows. Many ideas haven't been brought to their full potential yet, which would happen later in the next few games. A perfect example of this is the ram-helmet upgrade. There is one place where you can use it, but otherwise it's only function is to make X look more fancy. LIKE I SAID, THIS WILL IMPROVE IN THE UPCOMING SEQUELS.
Let's see let's put it through the test.
The soundtrack is where the game's sounds really shine. The music was created by Masato Nakamura, who's the main composer for J-pop group Dreams Come True. I watched some videos about the development of the early Sonic games, and in an interview with Nakamura, he said that he imagined the Sonic game as a movie and composed music that would fit the caliber of a film, along with matching the moods evoked by the images of the levels. Out of all the tracks on here, the Green Hill music is probably the most iconic track on here, and while I really like it, my favorites here are the music tracks for Spring Yard and Starlight. The former for its really bouncy, joyous feeling, and the latter for its relaxed, beautiful nature. All in all, the music in this videogame is so great, I regularly listen to these tracks by themselves, thanks to websites like YouTube where people have uploaded the music for our listening pleasure.
Take the numerous quests and throw in some mini-games and you have a game that will give you 20+ hours of gameplay.
And this game is from Tom Clancy who made "The Hunt for Red October."
evidence of the alien outbreak is concieled. THIS GAME IS
Graphics: Fantastic for not being 3D accellerated. Nova Logic got lots of mileage out of its Voxel Space graphics engine. It was pure frickin' magic in its day. Comanche 3 had only 640X480 resolution. This versin, however, allows you to use 640X480 or kick it up to 600X800, which noticeably improves the graphics quality and resolution in the game.
I regret buying this!
2456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was fantastic when it came out. As a kid nothing made me more excited than seeing all of my Nintendo characters in one game fighting it out. This game shined the most multiplayer where you could play against 3 other people. The only problem with getting this game now is that there are sequels out there that are far superior to this one with even more characters. If your feeling nostalgic, then get this game.
If you're looking for a usb version of a PS2/PS1 controller, go for the Logitech Dual Action Game Pad USB.
2309 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was hesitant about buying yet another Sonic game. However, my grandson absolutely loves this game, and honestly I enjoy playing it with him too. It is very entertaining.
7031 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It should be rated teen. I had no idea it was okay for my son to play!
This game used to be a real blast. It was my main city sim before i got SIm CIty.
3420 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got this mainly to play Resident Evil CV, Carrier and a few other games so didn't use it as much as my other consoles. To be honest it just didn't have many games I was interested in. The console itself was heavy. When held it felt like a solid well designed piece of hardware. It has four controller ports for multiplayer which is a plus. I thought it was a competent game console though did have an issue with the controller. It seemed poorly designed or at least for the games I was playing. Other than that I thought it was a decent console.
The 3 challenge levels give you a taste of difficulty and a different ending for each one. The levels are also very cool and neat to play through.
So what exactly does the gameplay entail? As you explore the island, you discover two journals with missing pages, each of which belong to Atrus's sons, Sirrus and Achenar. Your main objective is to travel through the different worlds, or Ages, and retrieve the missing pages from each book. As you recover each page, you learn more about each brother, and you must try to discover who is lying and who is telling the truth. In the end, it will be up to you to decide their respective fates. Your journey is not easy, for you will have to solve rather challenging puzzles in order to progress throughout the worlds. This can often be frustrating, for the puzzles' solutions are not always intuitive. It will take much patience and observation, and perhaps even a little help.
162 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 made the controller easier to grab, easier to hold, and more comfortable in the hands. overall I would buy it again. its cheap and a great addition to the controller
The game might be old, but it will keep you busy and for me this is the 6th time I play it. A must have if you are a fan of this saga.
Aside from good graphics, you're left with nothing but an average platformer equivalent to that of a 16-bit Sonic game in a polygonal world. While it may be 3D, Crash plays out too much like an old side-scrolling game of the past. I don't know why would anyone want to play this game because Crash Bandicoot pales in comparison to other breakthrough adventure games at the time, like Sega's NiGHTS and Nintendo's Mario 64.
the dreamcast had a unique analog controler similar to the N64 but it felt better in the players hands and was more comfortable. i prefered this controller myself.
hard as balls and fun as hell
You don't need to worry about what strength to use when using super combos, because each one takes only one "power" bar. Great soundtrack, if you played Puzzle Fighter, then some of the music should be familiar to you. Graphics are great, taunts are outstanding, and game control is excellent. If you have a chance, grab this classic.
Not only that, but it's a classic game, mostly to me, just an example of the evolution of the series, if you are still looking for what you thought this game would be, get the 2nd one, otherwise, it's a wise decision to go with this one.
8326 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is really fun and you can save which is great. All the levels are really fun and it does take time to get use to them but once you do, you'll be a pro. The pro's of the game is your constantly getting coins and by getting these your getting your animaniacs back together that you may have lost for getting hit. Getting continues, extra lives, and star power to run through anything. Another thing is you can go back into levels and get coins for lives and extra continues if you need them. After you get what you need for coins and continues just hit the start and select button and you can leave the level, and go on to the other level you are having trouble with. Its great that the gold stars are worth 10 points instead of the silver only being 1 point. The only thing that bothered me in the game is the security cop is in the weirdest places always trying to grab you. He's so fat that it's hard to tell if he's in front of you or on top of you swinging them arms to catch you. When he does catch you you start over and lose a life. This game is kind of similar to bonkers, Mickie Mania, Boogerman, and barts nightmare when he's swinging in the trees.
The gold dragon was a fun introduction. Though I will admit it made the fighting easier.
Whoever did that and made that decision...ruined the game. I am going to uninstall the patch and play again and see if it changes things because I swear it wasn't like that when I played it the first time around. I will update after trying it sans patch.
3439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product fast shipping
9176 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one game everyone should try. Inspired by the original 1981 arcade game,Donkey Kong expands on the original game by adding more moves, better graphics, more enemies, levels and overall fun! This game alone helped inspire the creation of the Mario vs Donkey Kong series. It is great for Mario fans and gamers alike. I would recommend this game to anyone with a GameBoy or GameBoy game compatible handheld.
5590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 final fantasy 8 is the greatest video game in the universe a true classic the best of the best final fantasy 8 rocks ^_^
The controls are not very good at times your bike just goes any random direction. The reason why the game is hard is due to the control. Otherwise its pretty easy to pull of tricks, however there could have been a better job on the control. 3.5/5
In Donkey Kong Country, you control Donkey Kong and his sidekick Diddy and set off to get back Donkey's Kong most prized possession: his banana hoard. King K Rool, the main villain and his army of animals, have taken over the island and to defeat him, you must travel through 6 worlds filled with stages and then confront King Rool on his pirate ship. There are many ways to earn extra lives and some of the local friendly animals lend DK and Diddy a hand from time to time. In addition to completing the stages, there are many secret rooms scattered through most of the stages just waiting to be discovered. In the one player game, you control both characters. In the 2 player game, you and another player can play together cooperatively. In the 2 player contest, you and another player take turns in playing the game. When you reach a certain character in each world, you are allowed to save your progress.
The story is also brought out very well. Just a few months after the events in the first game, Raccoon City is overtaken by the T-Virus, and nearly every citizen has been turned into a zombie. Two outsiders, a rookie cop named Leon Kennedy, and Chris Redfield's (from the first game) younger sister Claire, wander into the monster infested city. The two get split up from one another only to end up in the police station. They soon find more characters and monsters to contend with, and discover the deep secrets of the Umbrella Corporation as the game goes on.
Starcraft didn't really set a new standard when it was release for graphics, engine and gameplay. However, as people played it they realized how perfect this rts title really was. Easy to learn, difficult to master. It retains its flavor and fun even after all these years and so many other titles that came out after it.

NBA Courtside 2
5897 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, I know that title isn't very fitting for a Jane's game. However, previous to this the most detailed flight sim I had ever played was Freespace 2, and yes, I know that's not even a flight sim. I'm just making an example. However, as a novice to the genre, I bought F/A-18 and was immediately intimidated by the extent of detail in the game. Moreover, as thin as the tutorial actually is, it at least provides you with some sort of a basis to work with. If you search the web long enough, you will find that there are a plethora of customized training missions that will teach you every important nuance of flying the F/A-18, so that you will at least be a functional pilot.
In Oddworld, you play a slave called Abe, who works at the meat-processing plant Rupture Farms. Abe's a Mudokon, hardly your typical cute platform hero, but a gangly, orange-eyed, green-skinned creature with a samurai's tuft of hair and the posture of an ape. The story's premise is that the factory's owners have found a tasty new treat to whip into production since they ran their last "dish" into extinction. The problem is, it's you. Or more precisely, the Mudokons. When an eavesdropping Abe finds this out, he starts ham-stepping stage left, right quick, proving that curiosity can save the cat, too. Your goal, as Abe, is to escape Rupture Farms, liberating as many fellow Mudokons as possible, and find a way to bring down the entire plant. But playing a Christ figure isn't as easy as we'd all like to think. Using a limited vocabulary set, Abe must convince the Mudokons to follow him to safety, all the while racing through the factory flipping switches, avoiding obstacles, evading heavily armed guards, and staying alive.
7005 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this game in 2003 and I've been hooked since. It is not excessively difficult but it is not easy either. Different stages with different vehicles and hidden stages with hidden benefits provides hours of gameplay that will keep you entertained.
You take pictures of pokemon, throw apples, throw pester balls, and play a pokeflute.

9747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, Thanks
Graphics - In regards to clipping, I would sometimes get blocked by phantom walls while sneaking up steps. I had to walk back and forth until it let me pass. Also, it would say there was a key point right in front of me (blinking sonar circles) and there was nothing there. No desk, nothing to pick up and it was floating in the air. More developer issues.
9903 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As Golden Axe is one of my all-time favorite games, I was expecting great things of Golden Axe II. Unfortunately, it just doesn't live up to the original. For one thing, the graphics got uglier. Everything looks lo-res and very drab, though some of the enemies are nicely done. Another thing that sucks about this game is the sound and music: the sound is of the tinny "clink, clink, swish, swish" variety and the music sounds pretty bad. As with the original Golden Axe, you take control of a muscle-bound human warrior, a woman, or a dwarf. Sometimes I play the woman because I get my jollies off of seeing her videogame anatomy, though usually I play the dwarf, because he kicks ass.
9525 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 You first selects as one of three pit fighters to compete against a slew of amazing brutal pit fighters (a whole 7). This is your normal fighting game, no blood, no fatalities, the only difference is that there is more of a playing field, you can move around the total pit, rather than just moving left and right on a platform like other fighting games. There are pretty simple moves, punches, kicks, sweeps, yada yada, which make the game get old really quick. The only good thing about the game is its huge challenge and special rounds, such as when you must fight tigers! Rent it, don't buy it.
Team Chaotix is not really my style. Team Dark is really my style because sometimes, I have a destructive mind.
However, enough moans coz the good outwieghs the bad by a long shot. This contains all the elements that SiN should've had.
story 5/5
- all the backstage rooms are the same, there just a diffrent picture on the walls which is boring.
Systems - I'm supposed to understand this how? That tutorial is as helpful as sunscreen in the winter in washington!
what makes this game worth play? i hear you ask, well alright then...
63 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Order. It has the guides that I need. Great Price, Gets down to every little detail in the game.
3207 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have owned my Dreamcast for nearly a yera now and had been waiting to find a solid fighting game. Many people say that Tekken Tag Team for the PS2 is amuch better game, but it is basically the same as Tekken 3 with enhanced graphics and doesn't have all the things that make Soul Calibur so much fun. I was thinking about looking for Virtua Fighter, but then saw a review that gave Soul Calibur 10 out of 10. I read the review that it was like Virtua Fighter, but with way better graphics, more fighting stages and of course, awesome weapons to fight with. This game has several modes in it including vs. where you can play head-to-head aginst a friend, and arcade mode which is the best and most fun mode in this game. In arcade mode you chose one of several characters to fight with. Each character has different weapons like axes, swords, num-chucks, etc. and different strengths and weaknesses. After you have succesfully beaten all 8 stages you will un-lock a new stage to fight on or a new "soul" or character to fight with that is usually much stronger than the normal characters. If you are looking for a fighting game for your Dreamcast, Soul Calibur is a must-have. And at the price of Dreamcast games these days, you just can't pass up the price on this great game.
What make Veronica so great? The graphics are no small part. Sure, I reveled like the rest of us in the exploding zombie heads of RE 2 and 3 but I loved the brain splatter of Veronica. The Tyrant from RE 2, with his blank stare and overcoat never conveyed the sheer life of a bendersnatch as he trapezed across the room and crushed your head, all the while looking at you with those oh so human eyes.
There's not much left to say, except that if you are a person that is reading this review right now, in front of your computer, and searching for that different RPG, that is not just hack and slash then end your search my friend. You have found your gem and it is called Baldur's Gate. Give it a go, and when you're done and well on your way to installing it's sequel do what I did and recommend it to someone.

Second,a new adjustment to RPG's. The characters don't use MP.Instead they use the Junction System,and the characters aren't stumped with the same abilities.

2643 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you want to have fun on the go, you have to get Game Boy color!! I had the old gray one before this and this is a MAJOR improvement. The colors add alot of life to the games and its backwards compatible, so you can play all the old games. The size is really convienient and the dandelion color is the best. Buy this system and pick up Game Boy camera with it too!!!
1. Sonic has a spin move,he didn't have it in the first game.
6926 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is pretty challenging. If you're not careful you'll get a lot of game overs early on. It gets a bit better though as long as you take the time to level up. I'd recommend back tracking through any area that gives you trouble at least once, just to get a few extra levels.
4067 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Anyone who has an old computer like mine (6 years old), knows it is getting harder and harder to find quality games that will fit your system. Roller Coaster Tycoon's minimum requirements are only 16 MB RAM, a CD ROM Drive speed of 4x and 50 MB of free hard drive space, so it works great even on my obsolete system. What is more, it is a fun game! The first simulation game I became familiar with was Theme Hospital and, since I enjoyed that game so much, I decided to switch from the hospital beds and psychiatry couches to the roller coasters and concession stands. Theme Hospital was a little easier to learn. At first, I could not figure out how to get the rides up and running, but the tutorial soon set me straight. Now I am having hours of fun with this game.
Armed with a link to the battlenet documentation, I have played through half of the Terran Missions and have found them to be very entertaining. The missions are varied and gradually introduce you to new units and concepts. Hints are offered along the way. So far that are quite easy (once you actually understand what the units do) but for completely mastery of the game there is a huge amount of information to learn. Even though the graphics are not as snazzy as newer releases the attention to detail is outstanding. The cut scenes are excellent and the storyline is far more involved then other similar games. There is an amazing amount of strategic possibilities in this game.
Antartica:
the single thing that totally MAULS this game is the gameplay. the battling is terribly tedious, and the magic system is completely raped of its glory. instead of learning magic abilities, now you waste time "drawing" magic from enemies. another terrible mistake squaresoft made while making this game.
329 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My nephew wanted an older gamecube game to play in our Wii. Once I purchased the game for him, we found out that the Wii controllers won't work with the gamecube games when played in the Wii. After doing a little research, I realized we needed the classic gamecube controller and a gamecube memory card. Once we got both of those, the gamecube game that we bought finally worked! After playing the game for a bit while being "tethered" to the Wii system because of the cable for the controller, we decided we needed extension cables to have a bit more freedom. So we got these controller extension cables. He is happy!
As to my experience, I'm in my mid-seventies and made my first solo in the mid '40s. I've flown a variety of single engine aircraft over the years, but have little
7800 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product! The cartridge is in near prefect condition and plays very well!
- Fight with weapons, like a 3D Samurai Showdown
It makes 'Blood 2' look amazingly, implausibly bad.
Although the story runs a tad thin in some places, the graphics are stellar. When you shoot someone in the arm, you really hit their arm, and laugh at them as gibblets (individual body parts) fly all over. What also makes this game great is that the AI, which is usually what makes or breaks a game like this, is beautiful. When you're shooting a guy and aiming for his upper body, he will duck or hide near the adjacent wall, only to peer out and take a couple of quick shots.
Now, if you think that these otherworldly denizens are peaceful beings intent on fostering cross-dimensional love, or that your fellow human beings will enter the Black Mesa unarmed intent on warmly welcoming these beings to our world, or at least to rescue you - I'm afraid you've picked up the wrong game entirely. For in the bowels of "Black Mesa" you'll confront howling dog things, flying crabs, alien-zombified versions of your colleagues, gigantic aliens that breathe fire through their fists, aliens that hang from ceilings (and entrap their victims using these vine-looking things) and squads of human special forces troops intent on killing everything that moves - including you. If the above attracts you because you think it may be the setting that elevates the nobility of the human existence, I should warn you to look elsewhere - for in "Half Life", you'll find yourself acting indiscriminately with a 9mm automatic, a submachine gun, grenades and (most regrettably of all) a nasty crowbar; you'll make few friends and find yourself (for the most part) alone and (not infrequently) exiled to ventilation ducts (again with the ducts!!) to avoid getting shot at by humans, or burned, bitten, bolted or tongue-bathed by aliens.
924 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game, came on time , works perfectly on my n64..no glitches no freezes..just great play..i recommend
Some things are only minor and probably shouldn't bother anyone, but it did bother me that the wrestlers entrance music or theme song does not play during the characters run to the next match, or during their final pose after you win the very last match. Instead their is a generic song playing, and like I said, it may not bother anyone else, but I like hearing those tunes, and the only way you hear them is during demo mode or if you lose, it plays the victors music during the next character selection. From memory, every other port of this game played the themes at the right time, so why was PS1's version programmed differently? That there is one up for the SNES version that everyone seems to put down, so far it already has better control and plays the music when it's supposed to.
3279 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The latest inclusion in the Resident Evil series is quite simply the best thus far, with some fantastic if obvious plot twists it leaps ahead in the survival horror genre.
This is one of my favorite sequals for a video game.
8603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great
If you want to experience some of that throw back nostalgia, take the plunge and buy it! You deserve it. :)
The CONS: With only 5 stages, it's over before you know it. And while you had to beat it in one shot (no passwords, save system or continues here), it wasn't a hard game at all.
5529 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mortal Kombat Mythologies Subzero is perhaps one of the most underrated games in the Mortal Kombat lineage. The gameplay is not too far off from MK3. The only issue with gameplay is the turn around button. Otherwise it plays just like 3 with platforming. The story is excellent, although some cinemas seem a bit campy. The difficulty is a bit ramped up, which is annoying, but the story is worth the aggravation.
5844 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After the very popular Final Fantasy VII, this game was definately looked forward to by RPG games all over. Final Fantasy VIII brings together a great cast of characters, a great story/plot, and some of the best graphics on a playstation game. While the magic system is a little different in this game, compared to the original Final Fantasy, and even Final Fantasy VII with the materia. Final Fantasy VIII will definately keep you hooked on the game until you are finished.
7492 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is sooooooooooooo awesome,it is the best PSONE game. I actually have a PS2 but i rented this game,tried it on PS2. Its great.
This is one of Dream cast strong holds before it lost it's popularity in the US.
It's cheap now so, I guess it wouldn't hurt to pick it up.. it costs as much cash as to rent a game at the videostore..
6254 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game gets a lot of great reviews, and i guess almost ten years ago, this game was considered cutting edge with RPGs for PCs. i only bought this game two months ago, and i feel it's only okay. the graphics are a bit bland, which creates problems because sometimes your character will have to find something in the game environment but since so much on the screen is either shadowed or looks the same, it's hard to spot important things. also, the AI can be maddeningly frustrating. you "control" a group of about five players, but they'll do the most ridiculous things, like running into danger, standing and simply getting hit, not attacking. this becomes a serious issue towards the end of the game when you have to fight a lot and need your characters to be on point instead of doing things which specifically gets them hurt and killed. overall, this game is okay, the storyline is okay. it's just a blah sort of game.
Revision:
If you don't mind the unimpressive graphics and you can appeciate the charm of a Genesis game, Shadowrun will make for an unbelievable experience.
PROS:
Now if you are an advanced gamer, than this is easily for you! KI Gold does not disappoint in any way, shape or form. From it's near flawless animation and graphics, to it's gameplay and replay value, it's very hard to put this one down.
customary "WHAT NOW BITCH" look, he looked sad and walked away.
9487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game for Yoshi lovers like myself. Regular Mario/Nintendo fans enjoyed this game too though. It's a lot of fun even if baby Mario's cries can get on your nerves. haha x)
9495 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I keep trying to force myself to play this thing because all I read are rave reviews for it...but I'm not feeling it. First off half of the sound effects are downright ANNOYING (that crying baby Mario makes me reach for the power button every time...couldn't they have thought of something else???). Then there are the controls, which I find much less intuitive than other Mario games--even the way Yoshi jumps is off...it's way too slow. Even if I look past those issues, I still don't find myself having fun while playing this game. Where's the fun??
1757 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. The story is great, and draws players in. So what if the voice acting is terrible!? The graphics are so so, but the atmosphere is terrific. I remember the first time I played it; a few rounds in my pistol with a knife, and no healing items, walking down a dark corridor and hearing a window shatter. It was possibly the best time I could ever have playing a game. Two characters, with different story lines, and hidden surprises everywhere, Resident Evil is a classic. You won't be disappointed.
The game it self is very straight forward and very fun. But many things that come up now that I did not see as a kid are evident.
7808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My first experience with Zelda began when I saw my uncle playing it in 1986 on my grandmas television. I didn't bother playing as I was too intimidated as a 6 year old at the time. I tried it, but there were no cracks in the walls to let you know where to bomb and finding some of the levels proved too difficult at the time. (I have since beaten it plus the master quest.)
Sonic Heroes consists of all the usual levels - Seaside Hill Zone, Casino Nite Zone, etc., but it's in the teamwork where this game excels. Now, instead of just playing as one Hedgehog or one Echidna or one Bat or whatever, you have to employ teamwork across a cast of three characters per level in order to beat the game. There are 4 teams, so 12 playable characters in all - and range from Staples like Team Sonic (Sonic, Knuckles and Tails) to past characters (Rose the Bat, Big the Cat and Espiosa the... purple thing) to downright oddball characters (Charmy the Bee, for instance). On each team, one character is good for speed, one for strength and one for flying, and you do need to make good use of each character to beat the level you're currently playing. Also, the teams are graded in terms of difficulty, so beginners can start with Team Rose and work their way up, frustration-free.
6003 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is going to be on my hard drive for a long, long time. The only thing it lacks is a random map generator, which I think will be added in a patch or an add-on later. If you're a turn-based strategy fan, this game is a must have. It blows Heroes of Might and Magic (an already superb series) out of the water with more detail, better combat, and just plain better everything (even better MUSIC, which was very hard to beat!).
8438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this game over and over again when I was little. I had a blast with it! I couldn't put it down. I kept on playing and playing because it was just that damn good and the replay value was off the charts. It had a great story line, great characters, easy/fun battle system, and plenty of hidden items to find.
6867 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 5 STARS! CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER! THE BEST GAME I HAVE PLAYED!
The graphics, music, and plot bridge the gap between the elegant simplicity of the 16-bit era RPGs and the complicated, flashy RPGs for the current-generation consoles. The music is very memorable. Although the graphics can become pixelated in combat, they allow the game to move at a fairly quick pace. The plot is nicely done, with your army of 108 characters staging a revolution to depose the tyrannical government. Luckily, the all-too-cliche supervillain doesn't become overly obvious until the last few parts of the plot.
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Toad, Yoshi and others.
Many fighting games are not much for their stories. A lot of them can tell a story but they're primarily about the fighting. The original Soul Calibur is the same way, but there is actually an emphasis on characters and the relationships that these characters feel they have with other characters. Every character has their own unique ending to Arcade Mode and every character has a biography that you can read to learn about them. There's definitely a story and a narrative at work here. As you read about the characters you'll learn as to why each of them are going after Soul Edge. Their stories are tragic but interesting. It's even more fun for those who played the original Soul Blade. Things hadn't become quite convoluted with the story yet. And when you read about all these characters some of them you're bound to find intriguing in their own way. You may even find yourself having a favorite. Not just because of how they fight... but because of who they are as a person. They've got personality here and it shows not only in their exchanges in combat, their endings in Arcade and their biographies, but also in just how well they fight.
5240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent item!
THE BAD
Most RPGs engross me, lend me enjoyment, then pass from my mind within weeks after I complete them. But not this one.
4473 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How often have you gotten an "expansion pack" only to be rewarded with lackluster efforts from a development team that has simply moved on from the title? Brood War delivers almost an entirely new game for less than the original cost. As expansion packs go, this one is about as close to perfect as I've seen.
I would not consider myself a gamer afficianado, however, I found the game easy to learn and found the fighting/story line combination to be a wonderful balance.
1451 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It makes you think. I agree that few new surprises are discovered after the first bit fo time, but I find I can keep playing it whenever I need just a little tedious activity to occupy me. (Personally, I like to listen to books on tape while I play--but that's just me).
Casino Night- 9/10: The colorful graphics, giant slot machines, and jazzy theme really gave Casino Night a lot of charm. Even Eggman decorated his Eggpod with a ton of flashing lights. Casino Night is definetly one of my top 5 favorite zones in Sonic.
* You can set ingame "slants" on the governor as you progress through appropriate "play styles" of explore, discover, build and conquer.. you have to be prepared to play any of them depending on game circumstances.
The most remakable difference was the changing from 2D to 3D. I memorized the first moving when I played Final7.
Overall, action games don't get more exciting than this, and I recommend picking up a copy of this game. So addicting you'll want to play through the game HUNDREDS of times (like me!) I could talk about the game endlessly. Pick it up! Please!
Musically, Star Ocean 2 has it's ups and downs. Some of the tunes can be quite annoying, but no game score is without it's duds. However, when you hear the battle themes played near the end of the game for the final bosses, which mainly are of heavy rock/metal variety, all is foregiven. Soundwise, the characters various soundbites during battle are cute at first, but become annoying really quickly (how many times can you remember Claude saying "that's around 50 points" after a battle - too many to admit when I'm sober).
You control Batman as you're trying to clear your name after Oswald Cobblepott, AKA The Penguin, frames you for murder, all the while thwarting off the Red Triangle Circus gang, moonlighting rooftop encounters with Catwoman, and dodging enemy Gargoyles and the like. Batman moves quite slowly across the screen for a 16-bit platformer, almost surprisingly so, but running and jumping will be the least of your worries. Combat is really the meat of the gameplay here.
Graphics: 2004: 4.0/10.0 1998: 9.0/10.0 In this day in age the graphics are so good these look like horrible. If this game was released today, everyone would laugh. Back in 1998, these graphics were the best out there. But the good thing about them is you can see the faces unlike some of those games fromt hat time it made you go blind.
9788 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game
9538 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow!!! This game is the *best* game that I have ever played! It requires intelligence, common sense, and patience. The graphics are amazing and the whole concept of this game is just amazing. YOU HAVE GOT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!... The sequel, "Riven" is even better (hard to believe)!!! The newest sequel that JUST came out is "Exile". BUY THEM ALL!!! THIS IS THE BEST GAME SERIES OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!
3095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 They really hit the mark on this one!... characters, storyline, play, music, graphics... everything just superb for its time! I played this game over and over again just to play it. It's a fun game, but out of all the times I played it I could never defeat the Ruby Weapon. I think he's like impossible or something! LOL But even so, that wasn't much of a let down because the rest of the game was so cool. And Sephiroth... what a perfect villan. He looked pretty cool! If you've never played any of the FF series (and even if you have), this is a definite 'must have'!
5th Best Improvement: Greater and better bosses, (including N. Gin).
526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recently started re-playing this game to find that it is actually quite fun. I remember first playing this game when i was a little kid at my friends house but never gave it any attention. I just thought of it to be boring and hard. But since i remembered it, i sadly asked him if i could borrow it and he said sure, keep it. So i did. Anyways, when i started it up, i remembered everything about the first mission, very hard especially without anymore ps1 memory cards. When i finally beat the first mission. "The Wall" It sadly took me hours, because after those tumbling rocks after you, you got ran over easy and died. Every time you die you have to restart the whole mission, so this is what took me the most time. Soon i got on to the second mission, i got pretty far but then the disc "old and scratched up" quit on me. It kept freezing. I have had this problem many times before on the first mission, so i had to restart it back up again. After that i pretty much quit. This is why i keep all of my games in their cases. So they will work about 10 years later. Sorry for such a bad review but later i looked up online and watched the whole thing, well the missions in speedy time. And saw how good the game layouts and graphics were. I really enjoyed this game, well the first couple missions of it. So maybe i will buy a ps1 memory card and start to savin' soon.
450 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though this review may be 14 years 2 late,n my opinion TK2 is the best of the PS1 Tekken games. From the cool fmv intro 2 the ending credits TK2 is by far the best looking/sounding 3D fighting game on the ps1 console. TK3 backgrounds,music,fmv cinemas,light source shading,animations/combos just doesn't measure 2 the standards set by this 1996 classic and it was release 2 years later,go figure!
4360 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great game. It's going for $9.99 now, damn good deal. A lot of fun. Well worth ten bucks. Plays on lap tops. So you can have something to do at work. Wyatt Kaldenberg
The bosses are really fun to fight too. Chill Penguin has a lot of different attacks (including shooting ice and jumping at you), Spark Mandrill will shoot sparks and swing around from the ceiling, Flame Mammoth shoots fireballs and jumps around, Sting Chameleon drops thorns on top of you and attacks with his tongue, etc. And get this: every time you turn on the game the bosses attack you differently. For example: if one time you play the game and the first thing Spark Mandrill does is jump at you, the next time you play the game the first thing he might do is throw electric at you. You never know what will happen, and that helps make the game less predictable and more enjoyable.
6196 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really had my heart set on Toy Commander and when I got it, the game just didn't deliver! The game concept is really cool on paper but it didn't translate into a good game. The jerky camera which comes as a result of the poor vehicle control actually makes me sick everytime I play it! Control is so important in any 3D game and this game just lacking, big time!
If you are tired of the game itself, try out the mission creator: Create missions for your friends with you giving the mission briefing!
4579 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came early. Very happy :)
231 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a lot of memory for my old PS2 so I can store huge amounts of game data. All for a very low price! Perfect.
Now there are a few problems like any other game that I think are quite frustrating. Mario's controls sometimes are a little tough. His wall jumps have to be so precise and if you mess up you have to do it again and again, and the camera sometimes can be tough to use in certain areas. But, despite these problems it's still a great game.
3. The Dialogue-Absolutely funny and genius since [Spoiler Alert!] the reason Gnasty Gnorc (the main villain) freezes the dragons is because the dragons call him ugly.

2870 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tarzan is one of the best games I've ever played! I first bought this game when I was 7 years old. I am 16 now, and a hardcore gamer, but I still love playing this game! The graphics are top notch and the gameplay is fun and addictive. There are tons of cool moves to use as well as 3 difficulty levels to challenge your skill level with.
Nintendo and other companies have for the most part gotten the camera down with the free moving camera feature. Too bad some companies are still completely clueless.
2038 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this brings back my childhood and i like the idea of collecting stars and coins for the star bank. And i love buying items and minigames
With the pretty games of this era, one might be unimpressed, but if you remember the era when this game was made, it broke ground that developers feared. First true epic big budget RPG with cut scene CGI. Low to zero loading times (so happy for that!). A central character that is killed mid way through the game. And an amazing depth of side quests and extras at the end of the game that were fun and rewarding.
Still, when it works, it's one of the best games around - combining lots of tense sneaking with moments of violent action and excellent, varied mission designs.
For those who enjoy games that involve more thinking and amazing storylines, this game is definate buy. It was the first Gabriel Knight game I had ever played, and when I was finished I wanted more. The plot alone is so deep and enriching that you'll want to play just to see what happens next.
The game also has a pseudo RPG overworld which you navigate yourself with different vehicles as the game progresses. The game also introduces a family of bears which you must collect secret items for to achieve full completion and receive assistance and unlock the lost world. This turns out to be less innovative and more tedious than just using Funky's Flights to travel the overworld and unlock the hidden worlds like you did the last time.

1893 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a really good game. There is a good storyline to it and challenging. But isn't Spyro's best. It's a good game in the end.
Story - A easy way of summing this game including story mode up easily is, it's a final fantasy world and Mario came over to visit. Everything will remind you of FF games right down to the story line.

Best way you could spend your gaming Dollar.
However, the game is hard. Harder than the Super Nintendo game. The reason why and how is because of the new additions to some levels. The Claw has this annoying wire that hits you when you touch it. Really Inside the Claw Machine is an entirely different and more confusing maze. Nightmare Buzz moves slowly. And the list goes on. Things are still easier after beating it once, though.
733 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazing
Everything "Super Mario Bros. 3" is so adored for, "Super Mario World" takes and does several steps better, with only one exception - suits. "Super Mario Bros. 3" famously introduced us to Racoon Mario, Hammer Mario, Frog Mario, and Tanooki Mario (though oddly no Boomerang Mario, which we wouldn't see until "Super Mario 3D Land"). "Super Mario World" only features Fire Mario and Cape Mario. However, Cape Mario is able to fly for unlimited amounts of time, unlike Racoon Mario which is captive to a P-Meter and can only fly for short bursts.
5683 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game doesn't get enough credit from most FF fans. The cinematics are amazing as well as the audio, which are both big steps up from FF7 IMO. The plot is very complex and intricate, but it does take a while to get going. The draw system is kind of funky, but workable once you get used to it. The only thing that really bothers me after a while is being unable to skip the GF animations. They're very cool looking, but they get old after the first hundred times or so. Triple Triad is pretty darn cool and probably one of the best features of FF8.
Crash Bandicoot may have improved later on (not enough of an improvement to earn its mascot reputation, however) but the series certainly did NOT start with a bang. I will always remember the very first Crash Bandicoot game as being this uninteresting, frustrating experience. Heck, just the fact that only 62 reviewers have submitted reviews for the game right here on amazon goes to show Crash Bandicoot's first adventure was meant to be gone and forgotten. Add to the fact that right now in the year 2006 NO ONE is talking about ANY Crash Bandicoot game anymore. This means you can ignore Crash Bandicoot entirely, and not really miss out on anything.
To have the best experience with this game, you really need to be patient and pay more attention to exploring your surroundings rather than just want to get through it. There were several times that I missed necessary items or possibilitites for interaction the first time through a room. But there are no really difficult puzzles, so rather than run to a walkthrough if you can't find something it's a good idea to just keep looking. Everything is pretty much in the open. Also, there are a number of optional activities that a walkthrough might not tell you about, but that it would be a shame to miss. This is one of those games where the rule is, pick up everything you can and interact with everything you can. Doing so can only heighten your experience.
- This version has a controller configuration. Even though it's not necessary to change the order of the buttons on the controller because the default ones are perfectly fine, it's still nice that such an option exists.
504 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when i was a kid and forgot all about it. Then remembered it, ordered it, and have been having fun playing it.
You are Snake, the operative who must go in a nuclear testing facility held by terrorists. Snake goes in by stealth, and must fight numerous villians. All the villians in this game are extremely well done with voice acting and great personalitys. I can't find big complaints at all with the game.
as the games are played side by side.
640 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This Game is Awesome in every way except it only has 5 Mguns 1 Sgun and a few pistols, and the storyline moves toooo quickly but the graphics and stealthy music make up for the minor loss quickly. iF You beat R6, and Eagle Watch (like me) then get Rouge Spear
639 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rainbow Six really brought me into computer gaming. Before I never played games on computers. Now that I've played and owned this I play this and Rogue Spear, (the sequal), all the time. The game really brought a new setting to all gamers. Your free in the enviroment, the action is intense and challenging, the terrorists are out and dangerous. Everything is perfect. It's like your there. The game has great graphics and non-stop action. It's intense and you sit on the edge of your seat the whole time. The weapons in this game don't have the great collection like Rogue Spear does, but once your in the setting your weapons don't matter that much. If you like first person shooters or any swat team type of games than you'll like this. It's a classic. BUY IT!
7679 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!
The sound is cutting edge punches, shooting and well...fighting..eheheh You can here Yoshi flying in the air from miles away and it is so detailed I think Nintendo Worked very hard on this Title. The sound is above average, I know it's lame that I review sound but oh well who cares....Well Like I said the sound is above average and is very very very detailed. Earns a star......
Just to note: Maybe except RE0 *I've not played that game yet*, this game has fewer unlockables then most other RE games. You only get the Battle Mode, a special weapon for battle mode after A-ranking that, and a special weapon for normal mode if you can complete the game under 4 hours with NO deaths, NO First-Aid Sprays, NO saves *Except for the one they prompt you with between discs*, and NO continues. While the first half of the game could easily be done that way, the second half is near impossible with the *shudders* Hunters and Claire's final puzzle in the last part of the last disc. There are no 'bonus costumes', save for Claire's alternate in the Battle Mode, no other extra weapons, etc. Compare that to RE2, with alternate costumes, extra weapons galore, EXT battle mode, and Hunk/Tofu story.
The music is very catchy to listen to, and the sound effects are good for the most part. The voice acting however is hilarious, nothing like hearing Wario yell "DOH! I MISSED!!". 8/10
9773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great service and price.
7996 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love all the Donkey Kong games. I have played them all. Im a hardcore gamer and have played all the playstation, x-box, gamecube, sega, & any other console there is. I have played hundreds of games. But the NES Donkey Kong series are my all time favorites. They are fun, challenging, and provide hours of game play for me. They all have so many hidden things to find in them. And each game introduces new player characters. I could go and on about the wonders of this game but i don't have the time because i have to get back to playing it myself......Buy this game, you won't be sorry.
My son is thrilled with the content. Good graphics and he says the information is helpful.
The fighting is cool, and bosses offer challenges and fun. I would reccomend this game to anyone. You will get your moneys worth from this game, and I hope you enjoy it. But one more thing, lets not forget what you must do. Buy the game for playstation not computer. On computer they like changed the skins around or so ive seen in screenshots. Solid Snake looks alot younger, and alot less vigilante like and stuff. Get it on playstation to truly expierience it.
8161 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the fourth or fifth instalment of the Super Mario Bros. games. And it is such a sweet game. Yoshi is so cool. what would mario do with out him. This is a must have game.
Gameplay: Almost arcade perfect with minimal slowdowns, barely noticeable, and you can still pull off everything in here that was possible in the arcade version.
8743 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The status of this game is way over blown. I think i got this game maybe 7 years ago at a yard sale for 25 cents. And what a waste is was. I could have got a spent that quarter on a 25 cent burger on Mcdonalds has the 25 cent burger day. But no i bought Sonic the Boring Hedgehog. The levels are dull, The boss's repeat them selfs, Crummy music, And you die alot for no reason.........
1622 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I got this game I was thrown back to the days I went to my uncles house just to play this game with him. Its fun and its cool that they use real locations for the battle, because you get to blow things up and find secret path ways and weapons to defeat your enemies. I have most of all the TM games and I can't wait to have them all, even the games that where made from different game company. Because the game play over all is the same.
Also helping the game is the number of secrets and sidequests that there are. It's here that Suikoden shines, there are limitless quests, charachter's, mini-games, and hidden items for you to find and do. Giving the Game Unrivaled depth
4131 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Classic
617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game.
7403 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 load times are long, but this is a fun classic overhead game, plus I love this series. The magic in the game is cool.
--- The outfits that unlock your elemental powers are kind of hidden, which means you can miss them. This can be problematic because your elemental powers also level up through use, so if you miss an outfit and find it later, that elemental power will be severely under leveled compared to your other abilities.
The first half of the game is incredibly hard and frustrating and requires continuous use of the "Quick save" and "Quick reload" keys. This, in fact, is why I didn't finish the game until two years after I bought it. The storyline is what keeps you going during the frustrating times. My recommendation is to buy the game, play it, and stick with it. "System Shock 2" is definitely an acquired taste. Once you get to like it, I think that you will consider it to be one of the best Sci-Fi/horror games ever made.
If you manage to collect at least fifty rings at the end of either act 1 or 2 of a particular zone, you will have the option to have Sonic jump through a ring at the end of the stage. Upon making your way into the ring, you will enter a "special stage", where you receive the opportunity to earn a "chaos emerald". The chaos emeralds don't do much in this game, however; they only give you a slightly happier ending when you're done with the game.
After you are done with single player make sure to take advantage of the wonderfull multi-player modes. Outlaws plays well online with a 28.8 modem and is supported on Microsoft's, zone.com. It also is a great game for any lan party or the network at work. It is easy to start up and easy to play. There are many different modes to try, deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and an original game called kill the fool with the chicken. It also developed a pretty big on-line community with many new custom maps always being created leading to endless replayability. Outlaws also has customizable taunt files you can bind to the f-keys. This realy adds to the game enabling you to yell out insults to your oponents. You can even record or import your own voice or clips from movies or what ever you can think of.

As with previous Final Fantasy titles, fights are turn-based. Random encounters will occur as you walk around the world map. Each character on screen will be allowed a move every few seconds (including your enemies) making for fast-paced and enjoyable battles. During these battles, allies can choose from several different options. The basic function is Attack, which allows you to strike the opponent to inflict damage. Another option is Magic, which enables you to cast either offensive or curative spells. Draw is a somewhat unique feature. In Final Fantasy VIII, magic spells are not gained through leveling up or any other such process. Magic can be `drawn' from enemies and stocked like items. The number of spells you have will decrease by 1 with each use. GF is also a useful command. FFVIII features GFs, or Guardian Forces, which can be summoned at any time in battle. They deal massive (usually elemental) damage to enemies and carry their own health bars. GFs level up through gaining AP at the end of a battle, and new abilities can be attached to your characters through the junctioning of GFs. The allies in your party each have their own unique abilities and weapons that can be upgraded and changed throughout the course of the game. The job system from previous games is virtually nonexistent, but each character has their own attributes which make up for the absence of the class system. After battle, characters will gain a certain amount of experience that allows them to gain levels. The battle system hasn't been changed enough to be unfamiliar to older players, but allows new FF fans to pick the system up easily. After a while, battles will become a test of strategy rather than pure strength, and even grinding is fairly enjoyable with enough varied options.
2875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very nice
But I can easily understand if content is traded for style or performance (or both). Remedys *Max Payne* provides active and balanced story and game-play. Its faithful film-noir atmosphere makes the player imagine more grit than is actually shown. Only its neglect of a few basics prevent a full rating. Now if youll excuse me, I do believe its bullet-time!" (groan).
5385 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 needed this!
The Nintendo Game Boy was a huge success thanks to AAA titles like Super Mario Land to boost sales at launch on 1989. The first-ever Mario platformer on a handheld, it is a faithful-yet-quirky game that's a trip down memory lane.
That's it. Get this game if you like strategy!!
6574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OK no this game is amazing I bought it when it first came out so I have the cd disc and everything now I was reading some of the reviews that gave it one star and said that ff7 anf ff8 are way better for one ff8 is horrible and ff7 is ok but 6 is on my top 3 rpgs everything about it is just amazing and ff5 is awesome also its really weird but I like it cause its a little different they didn't originally release ff5 in the U.S. and they should of because its awesome. I highly recommend these games, but I'd go for the non greatest hits

8635 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game started the Kart series and many of its features are still staples in the Mario Kart games made today. The game can be played one or two players and includes single races, GPs, and a battle mode. Even during racing modes, items can be picked up and used to boost your kart or attack your enemies.
I'm not going to spoil it for anyone...but the ending sucked badly. But not enough to stop me from buying the next sequel. ^_^
The cut scenes are hysterical, like Captain Blasto piloting his ship through the cosmos when he gets a call from Galactic HQ telling him that Uranus is in danger -- to which he responds "So what else is new?"
First of all,this is an Action Adventure,not a RPG/Role Playing Game.
The story is relatively mundane: evil sorceress turns out to not be all that bad, but another evil sorceress is actually evil. The foreshadowing phones in all of the supposed twists and turns, but that's okay. The characters are fully realized and have depth and emotion, but when it comes to battle you really don't need to use any of the females because all of their limit breaks are worthless when compared to Squall, Zell and Irvine (Quistis' limit breaks are occasionally useful).
One thing that IS hard is the wall jump technique, which has a tendency to baffle many people. You see, you have to jump near a wall and press certain buttons on the controller at just the right moment, and you will bounce off the wall (any wall) and repeatedly bounce in an upward direction. If your timing is off just a *little* you won't be able to make the move happen, and Samus will fall straight down (not that falling down kills you instantly, unless you land on spikes and stay there). Some gamers can't master the wall jump, while others become really good at it and think it's a nifty way to grab hard-to-reach items early in the game. I think if you practice enough eventually you WILL be good at it. It is tricky, though. But when you finally get the hang of it, you'll find out how useful it is. I should also mention that the wall jump technique is NOT a requirement (except in one area). It's just a trick to learn if you feel like it.
4427 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Right up front, you need to know that this is not an easy game. Video jocks who play all those fast paced (and basically brainless) real time strategy games will probably not go for this one. However, thoughtfull players with some tactical skill who like a real challenge will find this game very rewarding.
1542 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this game when I was younger. I like this original Soul Blade game more, because the character Hwang. He wielded a Chinese two handed straight sword. The disc was in perfect condition. Very good classic game.
The game is great but is pretty short, maybe 12-15 hours of gameplay. The game is also very addiciting, I haven't but people i know have beaten this game in a day. Bullet-Time is a great feature which puts everything in slo-mo to let you aim at enemys and focus on a head-shot, while dodgeing bullets at the same time, very innovative.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
4482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't really know where to begin, but perhaps a good place to start would be to discuss the in-depth story this game has. There is a SERIES of books based off of this game! Sid Meier's as a company in my opinion did not do enough to hype this game, because this game is SO MUCH BETTER than civilization!!! It's like civilization of the future! They should take this game and ADD IT to the Civilization as a future technology expansion, like have different planets you could zoom into and run. Isn't that really the next step for civilization anyways? MARS! ALPHA CENTAURI! THE MOON! Ect. lol There are a few things you have to get used to in this game, like for example, you can CUSTOMIZE yor units with different armor, weapons, ect. and they build fast/slower depending on how much they cost ect. So you see how it can get a little tricky, but you can leave everything standard if you want. Like I said this game has TONS of depth and in my opinion is BETTER than Civilzation 4 (which I have and am not happy with) Civ 4 is too much hype and not enough game play. It's fun, but Alpha Centauri just DOES IT BETTER. This game draws you in and keeps you telling yourself, 'Just one more turn'. Until 8 hours have gone by and you're thinking to yourself, 'Just ONE MORE turn.' lol I don't know what else to say about this game except I'm hoping to acquire the expansion pack and I hope that Sid Meier's gets a clue and makes a 2nd version of this game.

3759 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not a big fan of the Diablo/D&D typr game but this game is really neat. The one big advantage of this game over Diablo is the ability to control 2 characters in one game. Very high replay value also makes this game a winner. Pick up a copy if you can; I've seen it rather inexpensive at local retail store. For the price, you can't go wrong.
When this game came out, it was THE game of all games. One of the best games of its era, and easily the best Zelda game for years. Only when Ocarina of Time came out on N64 was a new Zelda game crowned king. But this game was the top dog for a long time, and is still widely considered the best game of the 16 bit era.

Still, all three games have withstood the test of time, and are worth purchasing for gameplay if not historical value. But the aforementioned drawbacks of the Street Fighter II games and dubious packaging do detract from the compilation as a whole.
9645 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was very surprised at how addictive this game is. I cannot put the game down. I have never been into pokemon games but this one is cool. If you like pinball games you may like this game! I advise to pick one up either here on Amazon or anywhere else you may find one.
Your hero is named Joshua Reeve, he lives in 2099 and the game starts when he waits for a beautiful car, gets in it and goes through streets with old friend Hugh Martenson who is a governor of the Union city and currently faces some troubles. He became a target of terroristic attacks and asks Joshua for a help because he saved his life in the past and this is an opportunity for Joshua to do the same in return ...
With all the time and effort (not to mention money) expended on them, one would (I think justifiably) expect that the series would generally improve as time went on. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

But what about now? Can you fire up Civ II like you might fire up, say, "Heroes of Might and Magic 2"? Is it still fun, once you've conquered Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and experienced the rich detail of Sid Meier's Civlization III?

There's no reason to get a non-analog controller when you can get the analog. It may cost a bit more, but it's worth it.
the gameplay is great not as scary as resident evil but still pretty damm scary the game engine is just like reident evil the game is basicly resident evil with dinasours
3405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When eve you purchase a used product I highly recommend reading over the sellers information about the product as well as the customer rating of the seller. I was impressed that mine came with the console, all of the cords, 1 controller and a memory card. This is a classic system and I am well pleased with my purchase!
So don't buy this. Just go get an official 8MB. Besides 8MB will go a long way.
7683 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
If you liked the classy feel and mood of the Pre-RE4 games, with the shuffling zombies, limited health, and your nervous system going haywire because so many signs in the game scream 'DANGER', then this is definitely a game for you!
It's easy to get immersed in the 3D environment of this game. Many's the time I've found myself leaning over to the left or right as I put my X-Wing through a tight turn. For those who like flight simulator-type games, I would say that this is the best FS game on the N64. It's a bit dated now, what with the impending release of Rogue Squadron II for the GameCube, but for those N64 fans out there, this one is a must-have.
So, like I stated earlier, I believe it is good for children to see teams of all kinds. This basically teaches them you can team up with others, no matter how different they are, and work together on a task to make it easier. Moving on, Sega also brings the special stages to 3D. That's right, rather than collecting the emeralds in the storyline (like with the Sonic Adventure series) you actually have to collect a key, hightail it out of the level without getting hit, and complete a special stage in order to get a chaos emerald. Oh, and true to form, the last special stage is once again the hardest. There is also the "Last Story" that I will not go into detail here, but trust me, get all seven chaos emeralds and access it. It is definitely worthwhile. The only flaws I have to list for you is these:
See ya later. Go buy this game. Merry Christmas. Luv ya.

9878 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its basically the sequel to Sonic 3, but its not sonic 4, anyway in this game you can either play as Sonic or Knuckles in an attempt to Stop Dr. Robotnik (eggman to fans who didn't know his old name used to be Robotnik) from re-building his 'death egg', its like the death star from 'star wars' but with robotnik's face, anyway, its an excellent buy for your Sega Genesis, oh and if you buy the original sonic, sonic 2 or 3, you can lock them on to this cartridge (since sonic & Knuckles is a lock-on cartridge) you can unlcck special features.
5041 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First, I played the Teen version of this game(which is less violentive). The game is fun and well made. But if you keep playing it, if you're not a FPS lover you'll soon be tired of this game. The awesome weapons and unique arena drags anyone who likes fighting games. But the game play might be boring. Usally you do in this game is like this:

6058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As some of my readers know, I own a Playstation 2 after 6 years of original Playstation, and that I've kept all of my games from it. I'd consider myself a fairly experienced gamer, and one of the most challenging, beautiful and all out extrodanariy games for the Playstation has got to be the 2-D original masterpiece, Rayman!
158 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The most amazing graphics you could see! If you own a flight simulator yoke and/or throttle quadrent you can make your gaming experice easier. The Crash effects may not show in trailers or videos, but in the actual game you can see the damage. I higly recomend to purchase this product. Happy Sailing!

8412 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Best game ever, but I wanted to long to test it and couldn't return it. My game didn't work.
In 2002,Pocket Monsters Ruby and Sapphire were made,and had more things,like double battles,new pokemon,pokemon contests,and more. Pocket Monsters Colosseum was a spin off for the 3rd gen in 2003. 3rd gen is when the series started to die down. However,with the help of Pocket Monsters Fire Red and Leaf Green,it made it more popular. They were remakes of Pocket Monsters Red and Green. They were hits,having everything,old,new. These games were released in 2004,for the Nintendo GameBoy Advanced. The same year,Pocket Monsters Emerald came out,as a squeal to Ruby and Sapphire and is suppose to be amazing. Pocket Monsters XD Gale of Darkness came out for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005,with a storyline of Shadow Lugia.
Blizzard has not announced this game officially, and refuses to confirm or deny they will produce it. I believe this all has to do with, continued sales of Starcraft as it exists today. A game with a strong following, and decent enough sales to give them time to create a 3D follow-up, that won't disappoint. Warcraft II had a lot of AI, and path finding problems that Starcraft does not have. Warcraft III was necessary to revive that series. Starcraft does not have those problems, so the challenge will be to make a new game, that is much richer, and more interesting in its game play. Until that time comes, you won't be disappointed playing the original.
The characters in FF8 are fresh and new, and the main character, Squall is kind of like Cloud with that 'I don't care' attitude except he's a loner and always has something on his mind. This is the set of characters you'll remember (besides Quistis, Selphie, and uh.. Irvine.) For their charm, humour (Zell and his hot-dogs heheheh), and great stories (especially Squall). There's a long story that has to do with all the characters that goes along these 4 discs.. there will be moments when it'll make you cry (if you're the emotional type), ones that'll make you dance with joy, and others that'll have you swearing at Squall cause he didn't give Rinoa a hug.

Gameplay...5/5!!
8101 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For the first time see Duke in third-person perspective. Duke Nukem is absolutely the best game on ps1(followed closely by soul reaver 1)because it has guns,strippers(fun to kill),humor,and above all else Duke Nukem.
What this FF game is the first to do is create a card game. It is very addictive and is weirdly enough more advanced than the card game in FF9 (mabye they were trying to go for simple addictiveness) and trying to find every single card can sometimes absorb aaaaaaaaaaaall you're time until it's gone...be careful.
I give this game praise for going away from the zombie threat and replacing them with something exceedingly more violent and threatening. I love zombie games more than the next guy, but this was just good. The story was B-Movie, just like in Resident Evil, and the enemys were terrifying and threatening. The enviroments were dynamic and look really good on PS1. Very little did not work in the game, and if ther was something then I cannot remember it.

2574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this to relieve some childhood memories and it fulfilled its purpose flawlessly.
There is two really neat things about it. One is the size of the maps. It takes about 20 minutes to run from one end to the other, making it very enjoyable for team play. The other is not only can you play as a 1st Person view with a gun but you also have access to ships, in which you can pilot(fly). You can have an ordinary fighter or you can pilot a dropship which yourself and others can transport yourselves to the enemies base.
629 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once you get the hang of the controls, this game is awesome... it's challenging and entertaining, and everyone should have one.
7188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been hoping to play this again. I love this game.
Overall - this game is nostalgic, but fun to play even in 2011. If you can get your hands on this chunk of the saga, do it. You'll spend hours in front of your TV just like when you were a kid, in that galaxy far far away...
6665 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 pretty fun like I remember long ago..
Oh, and one thing (and my only Quake III - UT comparison): the bots in UT talk their acknowledgements, comments, and taunts, and they're pretty nastyquite unlike the witty and urbane remarks of the Quake bots you see printed on the screen. You might get provoked into anger and violence, burning to shove their smart quips back down their throats. You don't mind that, do you?
The sound is run-of-the-mill poor PlayStation fare, but the music is decent enough. Better, too, is the Magic system, where, instead of spending hours confusing yourself with Materia, you now Junction Elementals and spells. Sadly, the game relies less on Magic and more on difficult Limit Break techniques and expensive items, so this really isn't a huge plus until late in the game.
The controls are tight and are perfect.
Sound: 9/10 - Great guns fire away with heart-pounding brilliance in sound and editing!
668 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game looks fine, but it doesn't work.

Whereas Super Mario Land had miniscule graphics and not enough levels, SML2 more than makes up for that in spades. You will love EVERYTHING about this game: clear cut graphics, play control, awesome soundtrack, light challenge, etc. Mario has to trek through 6 different worlds: Tree Zone, Space Zone, Macro Zone, Pumpkin Zone, Mario Zone and finally the Turtle Zone. Every single level is crafted to eye-catching perfection. :) And don't forget that you can unlock secret levels if you explore hard enough.
One of the cons in this game or it can be a pro, the fiends or enemies will level up with you, so in other words, as you get stronger so do they but as they level up so do their magic.
Sound-4/5- The Sound is almost as good as SMB3's, but the music isn't perfect, but for a game boy game, it's fairly solid.
8728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic The Hedgehog 1 for the Sega Genesis system is one of the greatest video games ever created. For those that don't know, It is getting a 15th anniversary Gameboy Advance Re-release in November, 2006. It will feature 2 new features. The first feature, will be a save feature and the second, Sonic will be able to do the spin-dash thing he was able to in Sonic 2. I'm so excited. I hope that they re-release Sonic 2 (with Knuckles), 3 (with knuckles), and Sonic And Knuckles on GBA on their 15th anniversary.
Basically it's your job to figure out just who these new aliens are and what they want. What they apparently want is to slaughter everyone and everything they come across, which is great because that's why you're here! There are heaps of missions here and they are all a great deal of fun. Missions range from standard Combat Air Patrols (CAPs), to seeking out and destroying capital ships, taking down freighters and search and rescue missions. One of the most memorable moments of the game is a missile launch, especially the Swarms, which leave twisting contrails as they streak off towards their targets. Origin really did a fine job on the new fighter designs-they no longer have the blocky, slab-like look that Price of Freedom had, but instead have a more graceful, rounded look. Most of these ships are also a joy to fly, conveying a great sense of speed and maneuverability, though less so with bombers like the Devastator.

-MUCH BETTER SPECIAL STAGES. This time around, you're put in a 3D-ish tunnel in which you have to collect a certain amount of rings and avoid the spike traps. It's still very challenging like the first game's stages are, but thankfully it eliminates the frustration by offering you A LOT MORE chances to tackle them throughout the game.
The one place Gravis makes a change is very much for the worse -- the four separate directional buttons are replaced by a single pivoting directional-pad. As too often happens with designs like this, the D-pad pushes two switches at once, and ALWAYS comes through as a diagonal (eg, right + up, when you thought you were just pushing right). The frequent inability to enter a true right, left, up, or down is annoying in some games, particularly in navigating the menus of an RPG, and deadly in others (PSX "Asteroids" is unplayable when rotating your ship sometimes inadvertantly puts you into hyperspace, since that's what "up" does).
2024 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game in great condition!
Overall, you NEED to get this game! 9/10 which is awesome on my scale, and a big 5 stars at amazon.com!
you will be swallowed up if you hit the pit and pit out of luck when you do. other wise this game is ol skool and it still rocks and still makes want to snatch the cord out of the controller when you get sunk. so its a classic.
8245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game worked perfectly fine, but after a while you'll notice this game is simple and repetitive. It's fun though since I cleared the pak and I'm working my way back up again (previously owned it early in my childhood)
You have to remember that in Japan, they started with Red and Green. The Japanese 'Blue' version is actually unique only to that Country as it is a different game with new areas, and is something like a prequel to Yellow Version. This game would make a great gift to Collectors of the original game, but note that if you get this game, you will need the other Japanese Versions too in order to make things feel 'complete' (speaking from experience).
But that last paragraph aside, why are you still waiting to play this game if you haven't already? Buy it used, buy it new, borrow it from a friend, do something! Rent it and play it for 50 straight non-sleep hours. You won't regret it no matter what you do.
The key to this game is stealth and not all out running and gunning. If you fight upwards of two guys at a time, you will die. Its pretty much that simple.
The gameplay is pretty traditional fanfare as most of the classical rpgs from this era, you get the typical Active time based combat system, but if you played this game before I really don't have to go into it that much. The game has not lost any of its appeal at all, and its still one of the best games ever made, an all-time classic and one of the most memorable video game experiences ever. In fact I might just go play this one now :p It has been to long.
What else makes Resident Evil 2 still *very* addicting 10 years later? Maybe it's the multiple storylines and all the quests? You see, the game is 2 discs long, and each disc contains two different quests. To get the ultimate experience out of Resident Evil 2, you need to beat all four quests, twice with the female character (named Claire) and twice with the male character (Leon). Each one of these four adventures has zombies and items appearing in different locations, giving the game a ton of replay value. Of course, most of the replay value is found in just shooting zombies left and right. This is very addicting, trust me. You will love killing them over and over.

Donkey Kong has 3 save files. When you start the game, you get to play through the 4 levels of the arcade game. But after beating Donkey Kong in the level with the disappearing yellow platforms, you saved Pauline, right? WRONG! When I saw DK get back up, capture Pauline, and run, I was amazed, and my mouth dropped. Mario was running after the big age. And now the real game starts.
Treat yourself with the luxury of Half Life, and you'll never regret it.
7831 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diddy kong racing is one of my favorite games on N64. I love the coureses and the cool battle mode. I love the charactors and I would reccomend playing with 3 players or 4 to make the game more exciting. Here is some games I would buy for N64.
1149 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In this, one of two installments in the Zelda series for the Nintendo 64, you once again take on the persona of young Link (or whatever you choose to name him), as he embarks on a quest to save the land of Hyrule from the dark forces of Ganon. One of the great conflicts in Nintendo history, second only to that of Mario and Bowser. You start the quest as a boy and end up as a man. Along the way, you will fight many monsters, explore dungeons and temples, rescue a horse (great for traveling through the world of Hyrule quickly), engage in numerous side quests and mini-games, learn many different tunes for your Ocarina, pick up a number of weapons and other helpful items, meet some gorgeous fairies, and in short, have a wonderful gaming experience.
9972 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the way this game gives you the freedom to walk around everywhere. You can have over 15 different weapons which makes the gameplay far more interesting than I'd ever imagined.
Graphics- 100/100 The graphics were top of the line when this game first came out, and even to this day they look great. There is so much detail to every aspect of the game, and even compared to most newer games, this game wins out. Back when I first played it in about early 2000 or so, the graphics were the best the playstation had to offer, and that's a year or so after this game came out, which is pretty astonishing. There is even a scene where Snake is in the girls bathroom, and there is a mirror which perfectly reflects everything. I mean, back when this game came out that was a pretty big feat both graphically and attention wise. Most games just don't pay the kind of attention this game does.
Everything has a point and a purpose. I've been playing for about two weeks straight now, 3-4 hours a day... I was very frustrated for the first 10 days or so and now I've finally figured it out. Everything effects everything... If you want to play a complete city building game, this is the one. Great graphics, great cause and effect, and even the music doesn't get too annoying. You will lose sleep over this game!
Cons:
4919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pros:
I recommend this game to players of all ages, and especially those who, like me, have enjoyed the past Megaman games with relish. It will transport you back to the old days when gaming was a question of just grabbing the controller and playing!
4477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sid Meier's is kind of a one-act-show when it comes to games, basically most of what I've seen from him has been turn-based strategy games with single-unit armies, such as Civilzation and this game, but I must admit, he's good at what he does, and I don't blame him for not leaving his comfort zone. Alpha Centauri is pretty much Civilization with an alien, futuristic twist. Definitely appeals to the game types that I like, and this game does not disappoint. It's always fun to see if I can beat my former accomplishments in this game and it never gets old.
Don't expect a final fantasy twisted style story plot here, in a few words N Cortext is back and tricks his greatest creation Crash to get him the so well known crystals, to power up his invention.
6285 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You play the Nameless One as he begins his journey of self discovery. You awaken on a slab in a mortuary with a floating skull who goes by Morte. Morte reads you a crypic note tatooed to your back and thus begins your journey. Oh by the way, you're an amnesiac and an immortal.
5297 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is SOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome! It is one of the best games on the system. In this game you are a farmer, but you can also get married and have a child. You have to be a guy farmer, but it's still fun even if you're a girl. This is a great game for anyone!
9810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without a doubt, RE2 is the greatest horror/ action game ever made. The first one was good, but took place mainly in a mansion. RE2 spans out across a city, including areas like a sewer, police station, and even a laboratory. Graphically this game is beautiful for its time and holds its own today. The cut scenes were amazing when it came out, and still look fantastic. The voiceovers are also fantastic, and are very memorable. Many of the cut scenes are done with the games normal graphics, and this looks great as well. I actually didn't play it till the N64 version game out, but it was still amazing. I remember seeing the trailer when it came out for ps1 and I was thinking how amazing the graphics and realism was. Even the little things make such big differences, such as empty shells being released from a gun after shooting it. The game B mode is revolutionary, allowing you to have up to 4 endings. And the Tyrant is the scariest video game character i have ever seen. You never know when he is going to bust down a wall and jump at you, and his theme music is amazingly scary as well. The first time you shoot him down, after you leave the room you see a cutscene of the Tyrant getting up, and his theme music starts to play, that is arguably the scariest moment I have experienced with a video game. Many consider Silent Hill to be the scariest game, but I disagree, I think RE2 is. RE2 envolks emotions you thought couldn't have happened. Having two characters is the best thing about this game, though, each having different puzzles and weapons, and meeting new characters. Overall, this is the greatest horror action game I have ever played, and you should definitely play it as well.
4421 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is a very dissapointing system. Slow loading, Bad graphics, and terrible games. But it has a good controller.
Technically, Unreal Tournament is flawless. It's seamless graphics engine culminates with a fluent, easily maneuverable first-person perspective, allowing the player to navigate through the catacombs of each scenario with relative ease. Also, the sound quality is very good, especially with Creative Environmental Audio: you can hear missiles travelling from one speaker to the next, sniper bullets whizzing past your ear or the footsteps of an enemy coming closer.
- No Easy/Medium/Hard setting. I actually prefer to NOT have an Easy/Medium/Hard setting. On some games my first instinct is to pick Medium, but then I will often get stuck or find it's too easy. And then I wish I had picked something different. This game, you have to really be strategic. Some levels may be too easy and some may be pretty darn hard. If they're hard simply refer to the guide. Which brings up another point. you don't have to keep playing a level until you demolish the CPU. You just need to win. I tried out Middle Earth RTS and your people carry over. I got a few levels in and couldn't beat the level. After hitting a forum, I found out it's impossible to win if you didn't max out your army from the previous levels.
1742 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Definitely one of the best games ever made. All the crash games are the awesome! Ps1 and Ps2 have the best games.
GOOD:
The story line is very well made, could have been a novel or a movie if they had chosen to do so. The movies are, of course, the best. Blizzard is well known for the great quality and enjoyment of their entriguing cinematics.
Super Mario World is very similar to the first ever Mario game, Mario Bros. for the NES. Like in Mario Bros. you kill enemies by jumping on top of them and collect coins to earn more points and extra lives. Your goal is to save the Princess from the evil Bowser. But first you have to beat each level in every world by evading enemies and collecting as many coins as you can without losing a live. After you beat every level in the World you will face a boss which is much harder than any other place in the World. There are 96 levels in the entire game, including several bonus levels that you need to find and beat before you will face Bowser, the main boss in the entire game. Defeating Bowser is very hard and takes some time, but it's fun trying to save the Princess.
6919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game better then the suoer nintendo version wish it were long gameplay but for the year it pretty long
Mephisto
Chapter two is, for all intents and purposes, a true sequel, tough perhaps this is a sequel where the filmmakers couldn't convince any of the original stars to return for a second run. It picks up three months after the storyline of the first game, and ties in closer and closer with the original plot as the story goes along. Put simply, the virus that created the zombies of Resident Evil 1 has spilled into the city streets and infected an entire town. As either Leon, a rookie police officer enduring his first day on the job, or Claire, the sister of RE1s Chris, you enter the horrific world of Raccoon City and attempt to save the world from the brink of disaster one more time. The two strangers meet thanks to a stroke of luck, agree that the Police station is the safest place to hold out, and are almost immediately separated before reaching their target. Once there, its almost business as usual again firing on monsters, uncovering an elaborate maze of tricks, gimmicks and puzzles, and shooting for the head of the evil Umbrella Corporation once again.
7622 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is the best Star Wars game ever! The graphics are wonderful. Controlling is easier than heck, and you can have several views of your player in missions. Only one bad point- there is absolutely NO multiplayer. But everything else in this game makes up for it. It only costs 40 bucks, so buy it before N64 is gone!
330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These cords worked great for me and makes my gamecube controllers long enough so I can relax on my couch and play gc at the same time
That's all the minor complaints I can think of. Everything else about this game rules. It goes without saying that Sonic 2 is a surefire classic, and most every Sonic fan already owns this one. It makes as a great introduction for new fans, and it never gets old, even though it technically is an old-school game. Whether you decide to hunt down the Genesis version, or would rather have it through the Sonic Mega Collection, BUY IT NOW!
4615 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 during story mode you are able to travel all across the country when i say travel i mean in battle. there are a lot of vehicles that you can drive and a bunch of cool weapons.
6053 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Now let me tell you straight that Rayman is one of the best games I have ever played! With wonderous worlds, challenging levels, and memorable charicters make it a game to be hold! That where Rayman 2 comes in. Gone are all the great stuff I mentioned above, clearly a fatele mistake on Ubi Soft's part. We have none of the returning cast (Except for Rayman of course), choppy 3D graphics (A lot of the graphics look like they were painted on the game), and very little challenge makes this a tradgity! I've had this game for little over three days and have unlocked all the secrets AND beat the game!!! The first had me playing for months. And when I was finished with it I shed a tear of joy and said: "Now THAT was a game!" I'm still wondering how this can be called a sequal, it's terrible! I'm truly offended by this game! All those who praise this game have probibly never played the first game! I beg of all those who read this reveiw, please play the first game first to see what Rayman truly has to offer you! This game is just a wasted game. I hope Ubi Soft wises up with Rayman 3 or I'll just have to shelf the game as "A game that got killed, when turned to 3D." Boo, hoo!!!

9273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is a masterpiece of ingenuity, with a bit of excellent illiteration throwing in for good measure. On top of all that it's one bloody massicre after another. The story itself makes the game worth buying, add in an awesome main character, then exciting combat and a good arsinal of weapons, and you have a winner. I totally love this game. Then you also have the dozens of MODS being produced every day including a first person mod, and the decision to buy this game gets even easier. The best game I've played in a long time. Don't hesitate. If your computer can handle it, get it. Unless you frown upon violence... Then don't. :)
it plays like a modern (2003) shooter. it's mission oriented, you get animation similar to the movie/manga, wow. fun for fans of the movie, or the comic, or for fans of action games! this is better to me than Mario 64, mostly because of the thoughtful camera angle. it is a third person game, but you never lose sight of where you're aiming, nor does backing up into a wall interfere with the camera or your sight. very polished, i wish i could shake the programmers' hands. no kidding.
The graphics, more than two years after the game came out, still look good (although they are not cutting edge anymore). The cinematic scenes are great, and the music is excellent too.
*Graphics are manageable, but nothing special.
6403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age Of Empires 2 is a masterpiece. Regardless of any complaints anyone has made about this game, there is no arguing. This one of the most fun, addictive, and satisfying games ever made.
One thing I like about this game is you can never get lost, it always makes sure to let you know what you are doing. Just beat everyone up, and either more will come, or you will move on to the next area of the stage. The environments are highly destructible; For example you can go up to a random Coke machine and punch it until it explodes. Or you can pummel a car until its tires fall off. You can then pick those tires up and throw them at enemies. A shotgun conveniently pops out of the trunk of the car, which you can also pick up and blast the life out of your opponents.
1. Sonic adventure 2: Dreamcast, Gamecube and PS2.
every time i tried to load a saved game from the game, it would crash my system. i had to exit the game, and restart the game i wanted. i could save without a problem, and quick save and quick load (f6 and f7) worked fine.
This is the best game there is when it comes to action/strategy. There simply isn't an alternative. Red Alert 2 is pretty close to this one, but it isn't as balanced for multiplayer gaming. Blizzard (the creator) used a very long time creating this game, trying to make it work to the fullest. Did they achiece their goal? Yes, they did. Buy it to yourself, or somebody you love. Mark my words, you will not regret it.
9863 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been a fan of Grandia since its release on the Ps1. The experience was far better than any other RPG ive played, due to the action based combat system that isn't all that common for JRPGs.
The characters are for the most part vividly drawn, and due to the superb performances by the voice talent (particularly Tony Plana as Manny and Maria Canals as Meche) are fresh despite their mostly formula roles. One character which may provoke mixed reactions is that of Glottis, Manny's driver. A cartoonish, Jar Jar Binks-like figure, Glottis skews the story in a younger direction (at odds with the mild epithets employed by other characters in a few instances), and while my children liked Glottis, I expect most players will find him either endearing or irritating.
If you are playing with a 3-button controller, you must press B and C (at the same time) + Up to shoot up. If you press all buttons at the same time, you just jump. And as for jumping down a hole, you must press C + Down. If you're using a 6-button controller, then you just need to use the Y button for the grappling hook instead of B and C. At least it isn't as terrible how the Super Nintendo version had it (Select + Up...Down + R)
All the charactors where there. But not all the backgrounds where, a few where missing. What made this game the best was turning on one button fatality isntead of memorising thousand step codes that wouldnt always work. You's just go to the options menu and hold Up, and the block buttons or something and it would let you access a secret option menu where you could select the cool cheats. One button fatalitys was the best, you could press one button when it said finish to do the finisher 1, 2, freind shipm animality ect.. this is still my favorite MK game. I have rated it here because the N64 version sucked and was not a trilogy, it was MK3 with a few extra charactors.
As soon as I started playing this game I kept telling myself, it must get better. It's just a slow start, surely the story picks up? I pushed on for a few hours, going through Clouds background story and getting an idea of the main story arch before I finally gave it up as a bad job. I'm glad I only spent $9.99 to try this game out, and not $100+.
6037 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For the price, I expected this to be longer. It was very well done, however. Good new weapons, monsters, plot, etc.

4969 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I see alot of people on here griping and nitpicking about what this game has and doesn't have. Is it something groundbreaking? Nah... Is it something that hasn't been done before? Nah... Is it still a pretty darn nifty game? you betcha! It's a RTS, period, and all RTS games seem to suffer universally from similar ailments. These being certain tactics, units, et al that are very powerful, yada yada... just play it! I happen to think the graphics are pretty darn nice myself, and the elevation changes are quite good as well. FOUR sides to choose from gives a nice variety of units and such. Not alot to be said, some things could have been done better, but it's a cool game. I think, however, that the "super units" could be all together bypassed if Cavedog and other Designers (Blizzard for instance) would adopt the Tech Level variable, a la Command & Conquer, for multiplay games. Sometime I wana just batten down and have an all-out slug fest with the basic 'grunt' units in the game. All the upper-level stuff is cool, but it really does detract from the fun of the game(s) because there's no strategy involved in dropping a Nuke/Magic Death Spell/Whatever, on your opponent. Anyhow, I ramble, hehehe, did I mention this is a good game and you should buy it?
Despite it's not being quite a Quake 3 Arena or Unreal Tournament, I still love Turok Rage Wars. It's strength is in it's multiplayer modes and that alone is worth getting this game for. You and your friends will love it.
This game is fairly easy to beat, but finding everything will take you much longer!
There are also a couple of things to note here about only a couple of guides. The first and most obvious is the Ocarina of Time 3D guide. Prima NEVER actually released a hardcover edition of this guide. Ever. This is the first time that Ocarina of Time 3D players will get to grab this guide in hardcover. Originally the guide was only in paperback. This makes the collector's value certainly worthwhile as it means that the guide will have much more limited hardcover run than all the other guides here. This boxset is more or less your only chance to get it.
341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With this older non IR system I need to extend the controller with a reasonable item. This fit the bill with no problems.
7472 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nostalgia! This was the first game I ever played and I remember beating it....getting the black and white Yoshis and all the levels done etc but now that I come back to it (10+ years later) it's a lot harder than I remember. I still like it though, even if it's childish and simplistic I just can't help but enjoy myself playing it.... the art and combined music kinda makes me just...happy. I know it's not a favorite for everyone or even enjoyable for everyone and I am a bit biased because of my past but oh well. It's a cute game, if you have kids it would be very suitable for an introduction into the gaming world. It was mine~
gameplay 10/10
4645 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've always enjoyed licensed video games that were created by Traveler's Tales; they usually do a good job of capturing the essence of the source material the game represents and provide solid gameplay on top of it. This is of course proven with their lineup of Lego installments that still continue to this day, but if I have to pick a favorite of all that they've done, it would have to be none other than Toy Story 2! This one goes quite a few steps beyond the call of duty to truly breathe that Disney magic!
The number and quality of camera angles is equally impressive. In fact, the cockpit view is downright revolutionary. From this vantage point, you feel the 400-mph+ speeds, and it's comparatively harder in this camera to complete tricky courses.
Next, lack of vehicles. The PC version doesnt have spots where cars just disapeer and it feels like your walking around a ghost town.
156 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I got the ship simulator but I tried to install it an it was confusing. 1 day later I install it and this time it did work, when it was time to play it, guess what it didn't went through! It sucks! O.O
In terms of graphics, Super Star Wars looks very good for a video game released in 1992. There are a few moments of slowdown while playing and a few moments where certain aspects of the environment will be clipped, but nonetheless the levels are very detailed. Even better is the music in the game which sounds very close to the movie, only sixteen bit. If anything, the only big problem with the music is that there isn't much of a soundtrack to it. Many levels, especially in the later half of the game, make the same music over and over again.
-ENTER TAILS THE FOX. Joining Sonic's (then) latest adventure is this small orange fox who sports 2 tails allowing him to fly. In single player mode, he accompanies you in collecting rings and rescuing you from the clutches of robots. Another person can control him as well.
8145 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World is one of the best side-scrolling games of all time and if you have one game for the SNES this is it. It is just a fun game that gamers of all ages can enjoy. I should know, because Super Mario World was the first video game I ever played, and let me tell you it was some experience. Looking back on the game all these years later and my stance still hasn't changed a single bit. Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo is a keeper.
In the game, you play as Crash, and you must help retrieve crystals for a character called Cortex. But Crash doesn't know that Cortex secretly wants to use the crystals to control everyone in the world.
Devistating combos that can dish out mad damage
1464 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 game came on time and works. This game is pretty bad in my opinion I would stick to the 2d whipping action if your looking for fun. You choose from 2 pretty lame characters, camera angles are no good and the gameplay it's self is not great. Get this game to add to your collection but other then that this game is a waste of energy.

Environment:
It's proven to age VERY well and is fun decades after first discovering it. A genre defining game in a class all of its own. If you haven't played this game, get it.
7. 40 Fathoms
This was really the first FF with a love story as the main theme of the game. Sure, earlier FF's hinted at it, but this one took it to the extreme with one of the greatest love stories in any video game. Most of the game revolves around Squall and Rinoa, and the story gets better as you go along.
All I have left to say is, get this game. If you have only part 2 and enjoy its plot-twists, action, and gameplay, then "Metal Gear Solid" is a game you MUST have.
You get to play as Shawn Michaels, Vader, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Ahmed Johnson, The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, The Undertaker, Goldust, The Ultimate Warrior, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. People may complain that this is a really small list of wrestlers to choose from, but it's actually better than the more updated wrestling games on the market today that feature WAY too many wrestlers that have no reason to exist. At least with a small selection, you will be able to remember all your opponents main power moves. Plus, giving you a small list of selectable wrestlers makes it feel more like a short and intense arcade game, which is the point.
If you are a collector with a lot of money to blow then get this.
1) Graphics are tolerable. Yes, it's only 640X480, and on a wide-screen monitor there are black bars to the side, but the graphics aren't horid.
Overall: 9/10
A followup on the early SNES version that was also a hit, this game was certainly watched before it's release date, as it stormed into the N64 world and took many fans (as you can see from it's very high review in many chances) right away. It was considered as a very high class game then, and now too. Many of the N64 owners today have one in their hands, and many of those have played the game for over 24 hrs.
1091 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Zelda game is simply amazing! The Wind Waker sucked and Four Swords was OK, but this game rocks! The main plot was spectacular and the gameplay was great! I first played the game after getting Collector's Edition for Christmas, and I was addicted to it. The main plot throughout the whole game is that Link(as a kid) must collect 3 Spiritual stones and open the Door of Time, along with the Ocarina of Time. As an adult, Link must awaken the 5 sages and fight to destroy the evil Ganondorf and rescue Zelda. I have beaten the game 6 times it was so good! I highly recommend it to big Zelda fans. NOTE: This game has a sequel called Majora's Mask, but it's not near as good in my opinion.
So, the bottom line: if you have a newer computer with a decent video card, you will probably love this game. If you've been thinking of getting a new computer because your current one is lagging behind, you might want to reconsider purchasing Giants. Giants could still prove to be fun, but without the incredible graphics, you might feel that you're missing something.
449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you.........Wonderful....and Trusting product and seller. Recommend. Word Word word word word word so many words required almost done.......and done
4680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game demonstrates what happens when a design team are not jaded from experience, but full of passion and determination.
With the cheats and codes it made the game fun for hours. I couldn't work out how to use the level biulders where you could custom make your own levels ect... but I did play a few of other peoples who created them, and they work very well, if you can work out how the heck to do it.
Since there was extra care in the making of the game, we get some added stuff like the cd soundtrack, an artbook with a readily-available walkthrough inside (complete with funny captions, character artwork and interviews with game developers) and a map. Might not be the absolute best RPG to many people but there's lots of fans, myself included of course, and Lunar is one to pick up, or at least try.
In the second disc, you are at the wheel of spunky civvie Claire Redfield, who like her brother Chris (survivor of the first game) has a talent for blasting zombie brains all over the place. Although Claire stomps much of the same ground as Leon and not occasionally bumps into him, her tasks are different and her options effected to some degree by the choices Leon has made in the first half of the story. As if Claire doesn't have enough problems, she must also look after a kid named Sherry, who turns out to be the game's other playable character -- one too small to carry a gun! (I'd like to let the zombies have her, but....)
6040 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It's unfortunate that you have to buy these cards second hand now. Sony will do anything to make you buy newer versions of their PS-3.that have had constant complaints from customers. There are a lot of Very Good PS 1 GAMES OUT THERE,AND YOU CAN'T PLAY THEM WITHOUT THE MEMORY CARD.wEITE TO sony AND COMPLAIN.
9557 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the best video games I have ever played. It's so fun, and it has an incredibly deep story that will stay with you forever. You will never forget this game after you've played it.
In BAR, you pick from a variety of Volkswagen Beetles and choose from one player mode(single and championship), two player mode(race only) and beetle battle mode (two to four players.) Select from one of six tracks (first one only available from the start.) and you're off! There are tons of stuff to unlock and the only way to get everything is by playing through the championship mode and beating the four difficulty levels. As you pass each track, it becomes available in the other game modes. As you beat the game under each difficulty level, you unlock additional versions of Beetles. There are "number" boxes scattered throughout each track. They count as points and need to be collected to earn "continues" and depending on the difficulty level, you need a certain amount. You can earn up to 100 points; collect them all and you unlock a multi-player track for the Beetle Battle mode (only one track is available from the start) Lastly, there are "flower" boxes hidden throughout each track. Finding them unlocks cheats that you can turn on and off under the options screen.
7511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is aimed towards a younger audience. That much is a given. What you probably don't know however is that older people such as myself love this game! Yoshis story succeeded in bringing the world an original fun game with amazing graphics. Yes you do eat your enemies, but hey if they're tasty..........anyway yea. Get this game for your own good and find out for yourself how much fun it is! You won't regret it!
That all being said, this is a true classic of a game and many people have become quite fond of the sequels. So if you're into inexpensive fighters, or if you're a Soul Calibur fan who wants to see where it all began, this is a must have!
I remember Tiptup the turtle. He was adorable!! So was the female mouse, Pipsy (was that her name?). The tiger character was also cute...He was a good racer too! This game is up to 4 players also. So grab some friends and enjoy!
8038 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The fact that those two wrestlers aren't in this version of WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game is reason enough to avoid it. Yoko Zuna is a big guy with very powerful moves, and Bam Bam is yet another big guy. It's odd how they didn't include either of the two BIG guys on the Super NES. It's not like this game has a lot of options and wrestlers anyway, so to take away two wrestlers and leave you with only six is just ridiculous. Get the Playstation version.
RPGs got more recognition here in the U.S . It changed how games were made after its release. Im still alittle confused as to why square never remade this game with updated H.D graphics for any of the current consoles , just keeping everything the same other than the visuals, there is a whole lot of money to be had there, just ask capcom with all there Resident Evil Remakes. But i guess square just wants to keep it a Classic,
And if you think that this is a 3D game, you're incorrect because this is only a 2D platform game but it offers a lot of colorful graphics and delightful, humorous characters..
My father played the first level of Loaded on an old demo disc and didn't think the game was that great. He said going around shooting everything that moves is boring and mindless. However, going around shooting is exactly what I like. If that's what you like, this game won't disappoint.
It's a fun, classic game that brings back lots of memories for me (I remember how great it felt to finally get to the next zone). IT NEEDS TO BE RELEASED ON CD-ROM! Come on Sega, get cracking!
1170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although the Final Fantasy series was pretty good, no other RPG can compare to this.
The game begins in a shabby apartment during World War II where you, an ex-secret agent, are still brooding over the mission you failed on the Titanic decades ago. However, you get another chance when the Germans bomb the city and you go back in time to that fateful night onboard the Titanic. Your mission begins when your contact onboard instructs you to find the stolen copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. And the adventure officially begins; murder, blackmail, hobnobbing with the first class passengers-you name it. Besides the main plot, there are secondary plots you can get involved in, which make the game all the more interesting. You can die in the game, and you can also loose; however, if you win, it's a feel-good ending-except that you can't save the Titanic from sinking. At least I haven't found a way to.
1878 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I know this is an old game, but this is definitely a classic to have. When eventually I have have kids, or when my nieces and nephews grow a little older, I'll introduce them to these classic games. This is one of the best PS1 games out there.
In the end, Mario 64 will always be remembered as the revolutionary classic that literally defined the Nintendo 64-bit era.
4044 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best on the PC. Its also the best first person shooter out there so far. The action is awesome and explosive.
2481 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 SSB is a game where you take all the classic Nintendo characters and battle them out in arenas. And this is an AWESOME fighting game. This game is very addictive and fun. The one player mode is easy and good for little kids. I really recommend this game.
What I love about this game is that you can play with as many computers as you want, and they can be against you, or if you want to have fun they can be on your team. You can have timed battles or die from losing lives.
4010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tribes is awesome. Probably the best thing about the game is the fact that everyone can get whatever weapon suits them best. The games where you have to find the guns kinda get old, because if you don't find it, you get killed trying to. The stratagy is probably the most incredable thing about the game. it sounds so simple, capture the flag, but there is SO much you can do. talk with you team to create a diversion, or simply go kamakazi with the scout. This game is by far one of the best stratagy games out there. Probably the best part about it is the phrases. They are great. Bye!
[Blurb: Zelda 64 and SNES Zelda has several similarities, almost to the point that the basic game design of Zelda 64 is a remake. Read here for more information on this intriguing phenomena! Just a few thoughts from a fellow gamer!]
-Will take a very long time to get all 120 stars, and collecting 120 stars means spending lots of time with this amazing title
The gameplay consists of exploring a few hub worlds which are connected to various levels where you must free dragons, collect diamonds and defeat the bad guys. Some levels include full flight, which adds some much needed variety to the core gameplay. The boss battles were the weakest part, as they didn't really stand out and were pretty tame. Games nowadays are so complex that it was a pleasure to play something so simple. Running around colorful worlds, collecting multi-colored diamonds and discovering secret areas are always a good time, and Spyro is the purest form of these ideas.
Top notch, classic gameplay and world design
Mega Man 8 is a rare breed of game. Not particularly because of it's gameplay or style, but more so the use of 32 Bit side scrollers on the Play Station or N64. To the best of my knowledge, there haven't been many high quality side scrollers that keep you visually interested the level, but this is a fine example. The levels are vibrant and colorful and character animation is nicely flowing. The gameplay is largely unchanged from previous Mega Man games. It's a platforming shooter with tight controls. This installment did include new little gameplay segments based around flying on your robot dog and sledding down a slope. Although these are few in number, they do change up the gameplay enough to keep it interesting.
Speed golf is interesting - your fastest times on each course are saved, along with your corresponding scores - but not quite as much fine. Mini golf is included as well, but without any rewards I noticed.
83 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The only down side is that these guides are not from Nintendo, so there's very little original art work and a lot of information. How ever the hardcover and golden side shets make it an elegant product.
1. The Graphics-Given it is for the PS1 they are a little outdated, but looking back they are comical.
6106 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great controller, no bends, twists in the cord, no folding over of it at the top of the controller, that is common among those of us who wrap the cord around the controller. The joysticks still have proper tension and no scuffs/scrapes anywhere. And most importantly, works great. Great replacement.
I played this game on my PC years ago, and I recently got a copy for my PlayStation. It's a point-and-click adventure game with video clips which takes place around the tail end of the 3rd season of the X-Files.
All in all I still enojy playing this game as most of the other Final Fantasy's, my favorite is 9 to be honest. They all have good and bad things about them. So it's not my favorite game but its still one of them.
8331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love Virtua Fighter,I still have my Sega Saturn,sadly not my Genesis or Game gear. I was a big Sega Guy/Still am.

3041 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although this game is frequently criticized for featuring "angsty characters" and a large number of anime and video game cliches, critics of this game's plot should consider that fan perception of the originality of this game has been lessened considerably by the future inclusion of similar character and plot dynamics in the final fantasy series, particularly in FFVIII and FFX. This video game features truly incredible storytelling, and this game should be called cinematic not just because of the inclusion of FMV, but because of the large number of visual metaphors expressed in the game's visual direction. Consider the parallel between the stars in the game's opening and the sparks Aerith watches shooting out of the open electrical panel, or the fact that Midgar's poor literally live underneath its rich. The low-polygon-count 3-D presentation of this game gives it a visual style which emphasizes the geometric nature of objects, and the producers of the game have changed a technical limitation into a stylistic enhancement. The game's usage of light and dark, squalor and cleanliness, gloom and beauty, give it a literary theme of naturalism, by representing the products of human technology as ugly. The sweeping "theme of Final Fantasy VII", which compliments the wide-open world map prior to the summoning of Meteor, is first hinted at in "Holding my Thoughts in My Heart," which plays at the precipice of the dystopian technopolis of Midgar. The game's various themes communicate the producers' vision of which environments represent hell, and which represent heaven. Even the ironic real-life double-meaning of "finding the promised land" is parallelled in the game by Shinra's misinterpretation of the religion of Aerith's race. The game spends a lot of time exploring the identities of the characters of Cloud, Aerith, Tifa and Sephiroth through dreams, memories, and hallucinations, and rather than including definitive, conclusive scenes in which the whole truth of the characters are revealed, the game challenges you, much like a David Lynch film, to discover the reality of various events by logically reconciling the various perspectives from which they are viewed. This is "angsty storytelling" at its most beautiful, as it challenges the players to make an effort to understand the characters, much in the same ways that the game designers would probably like to see more interpersonal understanding within humanity.
I wanna say more, but the dogs are yapping at me. I'm still not finished here.
No point system.

The game can be won through diplomacy, conquest, transcendence (sort of a human-evolution event), economics, cooperative.. and many rules can be turned "on/off" and "iron man" mode.

6213 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Taking place at the same time as the movie, this game immerses you in an amazing cyberpunk world, filled with odd characters. The settings are stunning, the music haunting, and the gameplay rarely disappoints.
So, you definitely get this game if you want to see how the original story played out.
The high points to me were the opening, the shinra building getting blown up and part of midgar callapsing onto a section of the slums.
This is something we're going to miss in SC2.
The graphics are amazing, although there is way too much green, and you spent less time in original-looking levels than in the "normal" ones. Nevertheless, from the beginning, they look quite surreal and amazingly life-like. More than that - they are aesthetic. The main character is pretty much non-existent, snce he has no lines, and his only role in the game is to capture monsters. The battle engine offers far too few choices, since upgrading your character's equipment is nonsense (he rarely enters actual combat), and you can't equip your monsters. Therefore, the game's central and only concept is to go through level after level, capturing and merging monsters. There's nothing more to the game. Oh, yes, there are several original parts (you earn money by selling the captured monsters), but they are too few.
No fatalities exact as the arcade version
I had to have the game. It was like no other Final Fantasy. The characters and the environments were so vivid... so REAL.
8564 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great overall!
8784 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You begin as a boy, in a small town wanting to simply travel the world out of simple curiosity. You then travel the world (eventually finding two other souls to join you), pretty much going to the 7 wonders of the world, and beating monsters, solving puzzles and riddles with new skills you learn in your journey. Its a very good game for your brain. This game also spares you travel time of having to travel from point A to point B, by just having a map displaying where the heroes are going. No travel time is to make up for the fact that it is not always obvious what to do, so it may take you days to figure out simple puzzles. This an incredible game for learning purposes, as well as its fun gameplay much like the Zelda games (weapon, special item, run and map buttons). With that being said, the buttons are configured nothing like Zelda! It has a very disappointing configuration, but that's why it has a mode where you can configure your own buttons!

9960 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you're a fan of MJ and love sega genesis, this is an excellent buy. The game overall is pretty fun, but can get repetitive at times with all the doors you have to open and close, and children to rescue. Some see this game as a metaphor for MJ's wackyness, and others see it as just a fun video game. My opinion is that you should go with the second option because it's a great game to add to anyone's genesis collection or for a MJ fan.
1069 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 9 out of 10 people will probably see this, and pass it up as another cheap RPG, for one thing you only have 1 dungeon (gasp) when you leve you level back down to 1 (GAsp), and you capture monster just like in Pokemon (GASP). No it's not a compelation of rip off's, this is a classic that is highly addicting, and incredibly fun, if given a chance.
8170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Super Mario World" was one of the first games released for SNES. And throughout the long life of the SNES, this game was never outdone. Super Mario World was an awesome game when i was 7 years old, and to this day it's still cool to sit down and play this once and awhile. I'm even gettin' my kids into this, gotta bring it into the next generation.
This game has aged fairly well. Though the graphics are polygonal, it's held up way better than other games of the era, thanks to it's reliance on 2d sprites. The gameplay is as fun as always, and if you don't feel like fighting, you can just avoid enemies. Always a nice feature on an JRPG.
2123 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And you're the chosen one for this
The Graphics are TOP NOTCH!! The compant, Lucasarts produces the best graphics in computer games. The game follows the story line of the movie well. Sure, the tracks are on differant planets than just Tatooine, but hey; It's fun! :) I love the game. And the characters from the movie, you can play all of them. The ONE thing that is not like the movie (BUT I'M GLAD IT IS ON THE GAME) is the "YOU GET A NEW PODRACER" feature when you crash...It's a life saver!!!
8748 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll never forget the christmas of 1992, when I was the happiest six-year-old kid on my street, unwrapping my spiffy new Sega Genesis, and holding two new games: this, and Sonic 2. What fun gameplay and memories I was in for...
So in conclusion, 2D is valid and "3D" is valid as plausible TV game options. Don't make yourself look immature by disputing irrelevant information.
The following Nintendo 64 games require the expansion pack to play:

6734 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I like the original Batman game for this system as oppose to this joke. The graphics are very good I will say that, but terrible gameplay. The fighting system in this game was different and it was more than just a rock'em sock'em still side scroller. I liked how each of the characters had a huge list of moves; and how you can use them in the dual mode. Despite this being a bad game overrall I remember myself and my brother loved playing this game back in the day. It was cool when I was a pre-teen but now its just one of those stale games.
for me, ff3 surpassed all console rpgs to come before it in terms of character customization. ff3 had wonderful characters with a large cast and a world full of secrets to explore.
4035 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When Half-Life first came out in 1999 I was about 11 years old, and I really wasn't into video games. But come late 2004, Half-Life 2 came out, and when I read the PC Gamer review(98%) and saw some screenshots, I went to GameStop to get it. The guy at the counter asked me if I had played Half-Life. I told him no. He then said, since I was under 17 he had no obligation to sell me the M rated game Half-Life 2, until I had bought, played and beaten Half-Life. So I bought Half-Life, went home, loaded it, and started playing. Imediatly I was suprised at how good the graphics were, especially for a game from 1999. The graphics in Half-Life could easily compete with many of the games in the 2000's. Also, the sound extremely good, hearing the slightest of noises. The story is pretty basic, but good enough to keep you interested in that area. You are Gordon Freeman, researcher at Black Mesa Labs. Your expirement has gone very wrong, releasing a bunch of aliens into the labs. The government has sent soldiers in to "clean things up" and you are faced with fighting for your life against aliens and human soldiers. The gameplay is awesome, and the weapons are very good. Online play is fabulous, especially if you have Counter-Strike. So, despite Call of Duty, Doom 3, the Battlefield series, WarCraft 3, Neverwinter Nights, or any other game that is mind-blowing, Half-Life is the best game I have ever played, and in my opinion, the best game ever.
Rivalries that helped sell enormous amounts of games back then and now.

5. Do you enjoy having fun? Do you enjoy romance? Do you enjoy action? Do you enjoy personal triumph? Do you enjoy saving the world? If you answered yes to any one of these questions, then there's a Final Fantasy game for you. But why stop there? The beauty of Final Fantasy is that there is no final fantasy. There will always be another one for you. So go ahead. Try the game. You might be surprised how much Final Fantasy there is in you, and how much of you is in Final Fantasy
This is the game that started me on the tales series, and what a series it is! And I find it ironic that certain game sites rated this game low whereas the people who actually played this game thouroughly see the game in high regards.
it was ok. i started playing it now and then. a month later, i found the orginal resident evil and i compared them. And the uncut was a little better because you can use the analog sticks,

The cinematics are breath-taking. Blizzard once again delivers by giving us excellent quality and story telling. Each Act is followed by a cinematic that spans anywhere from 2 - 5 minutes long. Some of the events that occur in these cinematics will send chills down your spine, especially the end of Act IV....
Cons:
The music goes great especially its main theme. Some of the songs I make a MIDI file of it. I'm already done with Rail Canyon.
Seeing as I've played through it far more times than I'd care to admit, it's safe to say there's some lasting appeal in this game. The fact that the enemies can be killed in so many different ways allows you to try out different strategies each time you proceed through the game.
I do have some complaints about this game that prevent it from getting a perfect score. While the camera is usually solid, I wish there was a look around view. As a game about solving puzzles and finding items it could at least provide you with a way to get a better look at your surroundings. Another somewhat minor gripe is the fact that the animals are way too slow. Even the ones on wheels or that get speed boosts. This segues into my main complaint of the game - it has an atmospheric tedium surrounding it. Being at such a slow pace, you can't help but feel that large presence of tedium squeezing your brain. There are moments when the tedium stops, but only for the short amount of time the reward lasts. Believe me when I say that once you beat the last level you will be finished with the game, even if you didn't collect everything.
6028 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Your wait is almost over. The BETA test is nearly through and everything seems stable.
While I consider Mario Party 8 visually better and more entertaining, this game is still a classic and not just because it started the Mario Party craze. I love this game because the music is very cool compared to the strange pieces played in 8 and the controls are much more easier to use than the erratic unpredictability of the Wii-Remotes. All in all, a solid purchase.
I do not care about their age, or about drawing style. For me, it fits very well. After all, this is an adventure about Adventure itself.
Even though it is a great, wordy story, it's also FUN. There are few things that are less fun in a video game than sneaking around, being stealthy, and solving puzzles. The weapons never disappoint and the boards are never repetative. Sometimes the puzzles get a little bit difficult but that gives it a fun edge to it if you don't throw your controller at the TV like I thought about a few times :).
7678 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic love it!
The missions were dull. Your first mission is to fly though magical rings. The Story is even worse, you have to save random civilians using various powers. The levels keep jumping, so your never in the same place.
5 is also a great game, kind of a bland storyline and characters, but the job system is cool so it makes the gameplay worth the play.
Gameplay: The thing that made me mad when I played this was there is NO save system. To save you progress you have to write down and enter a password next time you play (when you find a Video Tape which was also hidden in the level). When you play each level you have to find the TV remote (they are usually hidden). And you also get to fight Bosses which make it a little non repetitive.
Seriously, don't be fooled by this.
Way better than PS1 version
There are live actors in this game, instead of computer-animated characters. The acting is some of the best I have ever seen in a computer game, and the characters are well-developed and believable. There are all types of people on this ship ranging from the young American couple on their honeymoon to the evil German Colonel.

7184 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomba! is one beautiful platformer. I first played it a really long time ago on a demo disc. I knew I had to get the full game as the demo offered a lot to do and it made you want to do more. Fitting for any age and/or any gamer (or non-gamer), Tomba! is original, fun and addictive. I got 7 more Playstation classics to get, one of them being the sequel to this game (Tomba! 2). I feel that it's never too late to aquire (a) timeless (PS) gem(s).

5081 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is quite possibly the most creepiest game ever! Well, it is the most creepiest I have ever played.. The ultra-realistic graphics, amazing CG sequences, spooky ooky musick, and overall feeling to this is truly *evil*! I have played this many many times, and it never gets boring.. and plus, it has great re-play value, not to mention the mega-kool *Alien* ending! ^_^ This is a must for all hardcore gamers..Pros: -Realistic grapics- Creepy musick- Great replay value- Great storylineCons:- NONE!
This game was the first to be set in full 3D with no pre-rendered backgrounds. This game has held up very well and the graphics are more polished on the PS2 and gamecube versions.
The Gameplay is fast paced, simple and fun. Action packed- there is never a dull moment.
You get to play as 10 wrestlers, and each wrestler has his own set of unique moves. It's better to try finishing off your opponent using the moves that drain the most energy. That's the number one rule to winning.
2355 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great for my collection ... thanks so much amazon
It is a bit more closed-in and linear but not linear in the way a platformer is or anything. Still multiple ways to solve objectives.
Then as time went on, I kept it in my basement, and then one day I decided to bring it out because I hadn't played it in a while and I forgotten all of the moves. So I went to the options menu and put it on a pansy level so I can get the feel for it again. Then I remembered why I put it the basement. What I should have done was bury it in the back yard, never to see the light of day again.
My beloved Sega may not be in the consol wars anymore but they have left a positive and enjoyable legacy and continue to do so if the new Sonic coming out is any indication.

Gamma decides to track down his brother robots. After freeing the animals inside the robots, he goes to the Egg Carrier and confronts Beta, in his rebuilt form. Beta uses lasers and missiles to attack Gamma, only to be defeated once more by Gamma. However, the fight also causes Gamma to be destroyed and Birdie's parents are released. Returning to the Egg Carrier, Amy reunites Birdie with its family, but she is confronted by Zero after he knocks down the Flicky. After avoiding contact with Zero's lasers, Amy defeats the robot by using her Piko Piko Hammer and the electrical fences. She sees Birdie and his family off, much to her happiness, and vows to try her best. Sonic and Tails, meanwhile, defeat Eggman in the Egg Viper and Egg Walker, respectively.

This particular cassette arrived in very good shape. I ordered three or 4 each from the separate, available vendors and all arrived well in time. All are excellent.
You run around the arena, pick up weapons, and run around some more, crash into a enemy, fire weapons, totally blow them up, then you get blown up by other players and AI's and repeat this things for half an hour. This is what made me stopping playing this game. So this game is like 1~2 stars to people who's not very good at FPS. BUT if your game genre is really a FPS game least try the demo version.
Slip into the shadows. Walk carefully. Look. Listen. Observe everything. Choose your targets carefully, and only attack when absolutely necessary. Be crafty as the fox. Be silent as the breeze. Be invisible. Be a Thief.
This game is actualy converted to the 64 straight from the arcade and then extras where added in after that, which makes it better then the arcade. Like the fact you can play as Goro & Noobsaibot, and a skinless character named Meat (go to GameFaq,com for the codes)
BATTLE SYSTEM-
So, if you're feeling nostalgic and want to play an FSP that doesn't require you to evolve three extra fingers on each hand, dig this one back up or buy it dirt cheap here on Amazon. You won't regret it.
1907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a+
When it comes to games, I like arcade games. If you like arcade style games, Sega makes some of the best and here you have perfect (I mean perfect) arcade games. You can also buy many of the first generation games for $20 or less.
"R-type" (1987) is eight levels of shoot-em-up fun. If you have never played this game before you will be amazed at its level of difficulty. Luckily, the beautiful graphic, awesome music and addictive game play make starting over, over and over agian more digestible.
471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Went back and played this again.
Story and Characters
1553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Buy it. Play Battlelord mode with four teams, preferably on the Las Vegas map. That's about all you'd do anyway. Don't bother with the singleplayer, it's garbage. I didn't bother finishing it. I played the first five or six levels, I'd guess, and it was so easy and the story was so retarded that I just didn't care anymore. The multiplayer is where it's at. Totally intense. You play as different factions, each one with a slightly different tank set(there are only three kinds of tank--Goliath, the generic kind, and a super fast little one w/ only machine guns, the tankset just determines how many of each you'll get...some are only goliaths or the little ones, and things like that). Each faction also has a special starting weapon. Guided missiles(which are VERY good against base defenses since you don't have to go in there and get pelted) cloaking, shields, swarm missiles, etc.
Those Strogg are wily, though. Oh, we all thought it was a good idea to secretly follow the brutes back to Stroggos through their black hole-generated gateway; they'll never see us coming, we said, and we'll be on them like white on rice before they even have time to blink a bio-mechanical eye. We were wrong. The Stroggs took out a majority of our pods before the invasion even got started, but you made it to the planet's surface - albeit way off target. You'll have a little help from HQ in terms of your missions, but it's pretty much up to you alone to somehow infiltrate and destroy the enemy. You'll see stuff here you never saw in Quake - new monsters, much smarter enemies (the Stroggs actually learned how to duck), more puzzles (albeit of the find button and push it variety), and - best of all - more carnage. When you get one of these guys down, you'd better make sure he's dead; a guy with no legs can still shoot a gun.
8459 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 played the second one first and had to have just so hard to find, it shipped fast and was complete and in great shape. recommend playing if never played and you like older system games.
What else can I say? The only bad things about this game are little nitpicks that I had. It can be cleared in a relatively short time, has a great variety of stages and powers to get, and is a perfect game to play on the go. No GameBoy collection is complete without Kirby's Dream Land 2. I know the chances are slim, but if they could re-release the game and fix the animal theme takeover problem I had, color it up to look like the SNES Kirby games, and maybe add a few more levels, I'd have no problem buying it all over again.
5854 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very helpful.
Overall 10/10 -/- Greatest DK Game. THE most "action-packed" game... at least until the second one.
2007 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is horrible. First, I bought this video "game" because I thought it was fun. Well in wasn't. 1st, the graphics are poor. 2nd the computer's difficulty level is so hard. If you play with one, two, or three people, you always lose. The computer is WAY more expirenced than a human will ever be, and it just degrades from the fun factor. So ignore the reviews that say it is so great. They are overexxagerating. My 8-year-old brother got bored with it in 3 hours.
Amazing levels.
6152 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it is my favor game system.
OH MY GOD AND GAMEPLAY! IT RULES! The level desighns are great and the graphics for that time are SUPERB!
7180 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like alot of FPS,and Perfect Dark is one of them on top with other games like Doom and Quake. Perfect Dark has some of the best graphics,because they aren't Duke Nukem enemys who just fly or move like chess pieces,where you don't see there legs move,they walk and talk. I think the Story is pretty good,and the weapons are very cool,my fav being the Farsight. SIngle player will have you staying up days,trying to figure out how to kill this,and multiplayer has 2 modes,just like alot of other FPS,co-op and a death-match style thing. In Death Match,you can have simulants OR humans,or both. In Co-Op,let's say there's nothing like shooting you friend in the back when they are shooting enemies. Overall,this game rocks,and if you like this,try Doom,Quake and Wolfenstine.
What sets it apart: Unmatched graphics and realism, Huge selection of aircraft, tanks, vehicles, and ships.
7699 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Its never reissued it doesn't seem !..or else there would be cheaper used copies for common people out there? why only the machines reissued but not the games..then everyone fights over few available copies?? urr disappointing..only ones out there are like 200.00 of some games that are classics..like was so hard to find a copy of just Mario kart even I finally found a Japanese super famicon which I found out luckily worked on my retro duo super nes/nes console..but geez.. please reissue the classics to make them easier to find to buy??
9229 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great, not the best looking of entertaining game ever but it is hard and very cool playing two player. The game could use more fighters. Other then that the game is a very different fighter and if you are into those games this one is great for any collection.

The Magic is based on the elements of wind, water, fire and earth, and combinations of two. You can decided which elements you want your characters to learn as you go along, allowing you limited customization. There are also special techniques that combine weapon and magic skills that each character learns. Experience is earned on just about everything. Like most RPGs, your characters' levels increase with standard Experience Points, but your individual weapon and magic skills also earn experience points, which later earn you new techniques and spells.
4606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing iD games since the original Wolfenstein. I can't begin to total the hours spent playing Doom/Doom2/Final Doom and all the WADs people made at home that got swapped around on message boards and the old AOL, Hexen....ehhh not so much, it was fun but then came Quake and holy crap was quake good. Quake was to Doom what Doom was to Wolfenstein. Enter Quake 2. I had this when it first came out on the PS1 and I played it till my fingers bled and my eyes dried up. Very Doom-ish level design and the ever present double barrel shotgun was a must. This time there is the machine gun that was my favorite. While it might be hard to get used to the pre-analog controls [move with the d-pad and look up and down with the shoulder buttons] after playing dual stick FPS's for almsot a decade, it still has the flavor that makes you want to pick it back up. I am happy to have this in my collection again.
I recommend this highly as a great strategy game for all ages that you actually come away with knowing more than you did when you began.
For modes, you have your basic arcade mode which you complete to unlock new characters. You also have a vs. mode, a team battle mode (which is very enjoyable), a survival mode, a time attack mode, and a practice mode. All of these modes offer allot of replayability as it is easy to dump countless hours into any of these modes.
HAIL TO THE KING BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9844 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the best game ive played on gameboy. i love kirby. its really fun and cute and simple. the only thing that sucks about it is that it doesnt save. probably unless you beat game 3. but BUY IT. youll love it.
Roughly 10 days later, WKD4496, aka Claire Redfield, is transported to Rockford Island, a prison facility and military training ground. While there, a bombing raid occurs, releasing the T-Virus onto the island. Claire's wounded prison guard releases her, but warns that there is 'No way off this island'.
4896 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll make this short and sweet. Suikoden 2 is the greatest rpg of it's time. For the max kind of graphics and overall game capabilities available at the time Suikoden 2 did extraordinarily well. However, if the game came out today I'd only give it a crappy 4 out of 10 rating. FF 10 blows this game out of the water!! Plus, no game (AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO GAME) is worth over $100. I sold my copy a year ago for $75 and just recently tried to buy the game again because of Suikoden 5 coming out and I wanted the whole collection. I could not believe how much the game goes for online or at all for that matter. I don't care how rare a game is. As a matter of principle and good business ethics I'd strongly urge all people to not purchase this game unless the price goes down.

I said you wouldn't be surprised. Midgar IS Final Fantasy VII. It's as much a cyberpunk's idealized city as Blade Runner's Los Angeles, only Blade Runner doesn't give you the freedom to explore the city on your own. When most people discuss what they remember or enjoy most about Final Fantasy VII, the answer more often than not pertains to Midgar. It's also no coincidence that the game gradually becomes less engaging as you are lead farther and farther away from the city, then picks up again once the party leaves the Northern Crater and starts getting drawn back towards it.
Hands down, the most attractive part about Bond's N64 debut, even today, is its controls. The Nintendo 64 controller was seemingly created exclusively for use with 007's repertoire, as every button is in precisely the right place for its function. It truly is the kind of thing that takes five minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. The center grip of the N64 controller seems to BECOME the handle of a silenced PP7, Bond's revolver of choice. The "Z" button is a perfect trigger, and if you've purchased a Rumble Pack you can even feel the weapon kick back when you fire. Strafing is done effortlessly with the right hand, as is crouching and adjusting the zoom of a sniper rifle. No control system has ever felt so immersive, so right. After the first level, you hardly recognize the controller is there, it's already become such an extension of your own body. I can't sing any higher a praise than that.
4892 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not much to say here that hasn't been said...there is definitely a reason why you can't find this game for under 100 bucks these days. I'm so glad I picked it up when I did. I had already owned and loved the first game (which was an impulse buy for 20 bucks at wal-mart) and saw this one was out in Babbage's but kept putting off buying it. Thankfully by the time I did they had some left! I didn't know it was so rare back then. The intros to this game (meaning the start up cinematic and the credit scene when you actually start playing) are two of the best scenes and musical compositions I've seen/heard in my gaming history. I just love the music in the Suikoden series, but parts 1 and 2 definitely blow out all the later games. Anyway Suikoden 2 is definitely the high point in the series. If you decide to pay the big bucks for it you'll be justified.
6695 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've always had fond memories of this game from my childhood, so I decided to purchase it to play again on those long flights home. It's just as I remember. The game is a lot of fun and the music just sticks in your head. The only problem with the game is you can't save.

I don't know of any races for chocobos, but I think what you see is what you get. I've also heard of a secret chocobo area, but that's the FAQ's job to explain : )

Tomb Raider II offers significant improvements over the original, and its game play exceeds the other games that follow in the series. The game has drastically overhauled weapons and artificial intelligence. Though the puzzles are not as hard as later versions, they still are quite difficult. Lara has new moves, many new weapons, and more dangerous foes. What more could a Tomb Raider fan - or even the casual gamer - ask for?

4185 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic game. i bought the down loadable version from blizzard. in fact i think i have bought star craft at least 3 times. Its one of those rare games that i still play 10 years after release. i am always proud when i still see it on the walmart store shelves so many years after its relase.
If you haven't picked it up yet, especially if you've played the other games using the Inifinty engine, give it a shot. It's different enough from them to hold your interest but similar enough that your learning curve should be next to zero.
I highly recommend this game to any Nintendo 64 owner. If you own a GameCube look for Super Smash Bros Melee.
Although the game is slightly buggy that cleared right up with a patch. I also like the ability to customize your character portraits and sounds, it makes the roleplaying aspect all the more real.
This game is interesting in that it is still classic Metroid fun, but with a few complaints. The First one is that the game is real short. The nesxt is when it comes to gathering powerups those too happen fast. Within a fifteen minute time span (all in one to two areas) I went from the Ice Beam to the Wave to Spazer to Plasma beam. That was in a fifteen minute slot. The final is that outside of the Final Boss, there are no other major bosses. Unlike the first in which you had to Face Ridley and Kraid first in order to proceed, this one just throws at you one of the four evolved forms of the metroids to deal with.
As for the game being an interactive cartoon, it really nails that. The game has a great sense of humor (EX: In the park, Pac-Man trips on rock, and slips on a skateboard, causing that skateboard to fly up in the air and land straight onto his head - There's also a billboard in the city that shows an anime person holding a hamburger. Pac-Man smiles as a laughable reaction to the billboard). Many things you shoot with the slingshot can cause a gut-buster.
The script and voice acting were often not quite what I had come to expect. I particularly was not fond of Tim Curry's portrayal of the title character, a fact which struck me as odd, as I loved his work as Gabriel in GK1. But in GK3 I thought he had a little too much tendancy to go over the top, particularly with Gabriel's wisecracks, which sometimes seemed more suited to Beavis and Butthead. Gabriel as a character grows and changes a lot over the course of the games, and I don't think Curry's portrayal was true to that fact. I was also puzzled and irritated at Gabriel's sudden inability to pronounce French. He had a beautiful accent when French terms came up in GK1; what happened to it? Whether this was due to the actor or the director, it was a poor choice and it bothered me.

First question I thought to myself was does it still hold up pretty well? Well yes it does actually. The game is obviously dated visual wise since its more than a decade old now. It doesn't bother me though given that it's from the generation that I started gaming from. Though I was pretty surprised at how good it looks for an old school FPS. The dinosaurs look and move around beautifully. The humanoid enemies you fight actually have faces (which was a pretty big deal back then) and you can see them shoulder their weapons and fire back at you. While the levels are pretty linear they look good and you aren't given illusions of "freedom" like in other games. Everything you see you can pretty much get to, nothing is slapped on to make it look pretty.
Just like any of the other Mario Parties, you choose which character you'd like to be, Mario, Luigi, ect. The object of the game is to go around the board and collect Stars. Stars come at a price, 20 coins. To get 20 coins, you must win mini games or land on blue spots. This is like an advanced board game for the N64, but with a twist. In addition to the board game aspect of this game, after everyone takes 1 turn a mini game takes place.
Your job is to help your friend by guiding the other spirits in the house to their final rewards by either helping them realize that they're dead, finding an item that they lost, or helping them finish something they never completed in life. There's three people you need to aid before you can help your friend, and no particular order in which to do it.
The player uses a slingshot to shoot at stuff to get Pac-Man to notice them (You can also convince Pac-Man to look in a certain direction). It's like a shooting gallery crossed with an adventure game. However, since this is classified as an "interactive cartoon", there were definitely some bizarre reactions to what you shoot. For example, if you shoot a guy at a Hot Dog stand, he squirts ketchup onto Pac-Man in anger. Sometimes, the slingshot could be used to help Pac-Man find ways to progress (EX: A rope for him to climb, or shooting away a rock on a hill so Pac-Man doesn't trip over it). Or you can even shoot Pac-Man himself when he's about to meet his fate, so he could jump away (or you could just shoot him to anger him).
7813 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Almost everyone knows SimCity by now. It's a franchise that has been around and has even spawned clones. The SNES version of this game is nothing special, but it is still one of my favorite SNES title games. It takes the original SimCity concept and expands on it slightly by offering Nintendo-themed rewards (Mario Statue), and a Bowser-based destruction scenario.

It follows the story of Claire Redfield after the events of Resident Evil 2 and also reintroduces us to one of the heroes from the original game, Chris Redfield. It features new enemies, weapons and entirely new locations.
The Neo Geo Pocket Color has the ability to play imported games, which is very nice since some NGPC games, like Last Blade, were not released in America. The games will obviously still be in Japanese when you play them, but they can be played on the American console. My only real complaint about the NGPC is the lack of a backlit screen, but when the NGPC came out most handheld consoles didn't have that feature (if they did, they ate batteries like crazy - *cough* Sega Game Gear). The thumbstick was a wonderful addition to the console and allowed for much better gameplay than did consoles with only directional pads. Overall, the Neo Geo Pocket Color was a very sophisticated (and sadly, overlooked) console with the best good-to-bad game ratio of all handheld systems. I would recommend any serious gamer to get one, especially if you enjoy great fighting games. The Neo Geo Pocket Color didn't get all the attention it deserved, but it really did bring a whole new dimension to the world of video games.
Cruis'n USA isn't actually as bad the averaged out Amazon rating says. There's some good arcade-style racing here. You may not be interested in this category if you like games like Mario Kart, but it's still a pretty good game. Granted, there are some pretty cheesy things that have been said in-game ("Wow, so THIS is the Grand Canyon!"), but you can get used to that easily.
7803 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 What can I say, this game was dumb! It's just a copycat of Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart 64 has freakin' fun! Diddy Kong Racing is a joke! I would have rated it as "0 stars," but unfortunately I don't have that option. If you want to give someone a hate gift, I recommend this. But don't blame me if they surprisingly love it.

4252 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent buy. You are getting 2 quality games, that will lead to endless hours of enjoyment. You have your choice of what type of life form you want, and you have various structures to build, compared to the common medieval games. If you enjoy this type of game, I also highly suggest Age of Empires 2 and the expansion pack and Empire Earth. All highly recommended.
4137 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived safe and sound. Great bargain. Not exactly the game I expected, but fascinating just the same.
I started to play with Sonic. The game was awesome. Then I realized you could play with five other characters. Tails, Knuckles, Big, the robot, and Amy. Each character has 3 or so levels for each of them and are also very different for each character. Each character is very fun to play as especially Sonic, Knuckles and Tails. Surprisingly Big and the robot are very fun to play with. But Sega should never have created such a dumb character as Amy. She is very annoying, hard to play with and is very hard to control as well.
Sound: Awesome, it makes sound for even the panels! 9/10
6435 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires II has a particular strength: its "standard game." A number of variables may be set by the user or left to random selection (such as nationality and geography). This provides a nearly limitless combination of foes, allies, and landscapes on which to play. Each of the approximately 15 nationalities has unique abilities - imagine Starcraft with 15 alien races instead of 3. Turtling is limited by the trebuchet - a huge catapult - and cannons. If you get the game you will want the expansion as it allows more automated farming and provides new races such as the Aztec. MS is on the right track with this very impressive game.

If your looking for teamplay, you got yer candy right here. Players can choose classes, such as the Heavy Weapons Guy or Engineer, all of which have different skills, pros, and cons. Most of the maps are great- Well and 2fort are good simple CTF favorites, while slightly more complicated scenarios such as Flagrun, Canalzone2, Hunted, or Dustbowl are fun as well. (Except many call Dustbowl Spambowl because of the excessive amount of thrown grenades...constantly)
The introduction of the self-sufficient special system is nice, because if you bump the "A" button, the cops don't immediately come running to shoot a rocket while you're fighting one Galsia. At the very most you'll incur a little damage but sweep the floor with whoever's around you.
5656 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have gotten this game for Christmas. The graphics are fantastic, however the game itself are played out. For every arenas you passed, it seems like your are playing the same identical enemies in the next. Just some slight varations on the weapons of choice, but the story line are basically the same. If you gamers are into 3D graphics and sounds, this is the game for you.
3935 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 On the face of things, "X-Wing Alliance" has the makings of an extraordinary entry into the Star Wars franchise. The characters are engaging, with enough backstory given in the accompanying written material to start a small movie. Conveniently, there *is* actually a small movie which opens the game off with a real narrative bang. It makes one wish that Lucas himself had taken a page from the game producers when he was making _The Phantom Menace_.
You're probably thinking by now "Alright, talk about the actual GAME!" Okay, I will, but you won't like what I have to say. It's just really painful for me to pick out all the problems in this supposed classic. Basically, it all boils down to one thing. The fact that some weapons in this game are incredibly slow, weak and almost useless. Yes, I'm talking about the Jewel Sword and the Sword Of Hador. Konami never should have put these two weapons in the game. But because they did, we have no choice but to put up with them, and I have no choice but to complain. These two weapons really drag the game down.

I have a P450 with 128 MB RAM and a decent video card. When I tried using the usual 1024 X 768 resolution with high details, the game ran slowly! Be sure you have the computer system to take advantage of the beauty of this game. I believe you need the extra resolution just to be able to read the cockpit's layout, and read the knobs' labels.
I'll start with the positives though. The graphics are excellent, though the characters may appear just SLIGHTLY dated. They animate very well, having been motion-captured. The backgrounds are awesome, and so is the music. Of course, you can't go wrong with Star Wars when it comes to graphics and music anyway. The character voices are even cool as they sound just like their actor counterparts.
3101 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I haven't read reviews on this game for the past 4 moths, and I come back, and I see the star rate lower, and I see all these 1 star reviews saying the graphics sucked, and FF VIII was better. So what is it? A group of FF8 lovers who just had to do this to fell better, or is it one person, posting reviews over and over again. Well, for starters, graphics don't make a game, that's why this game sold the most out of any FF game. And 8 better than 7, HA! Final Fantasy 8 was more of a soap opera, and the juncion system plain out stinks. The materia system was a lot easier. I mean, come on, lemme get back to the issue, these 1 star reviews are just there to bring this games star rate down. Well whatever those 1 star folls do, they just can't except the fact that Final Fantasy 7 will always be better than 8, no matter what. Not graphicways, but in every other way possible. And these reviews are not gonna change what a great game it is. But to all the earlier hnest reviews. Those are the reviews to trust if you really want to think of what kind of game this really is.

I don't think so. If you want a "real" Castlevania game, go play Castlevania 64 for the N64. That's how a Castlevania game should be done. Not like Symphony Of The Night, which is basically a complete disaster with its many inexplicable problems.
So, to sum things up, buying an N64 if you are a casual gamer who is not too interested in gaming history is not the smartest move, but for diehard Nintendo Fans like me who want a little retro action? This is a must buy.
Bad plot.
Game patches/updates changed many things in the game over and over again.
I would definitely recommend this game to people who enjoy the "Noire" genre and an action game with a good storyline. I would, however, recommend the sequel more highly, just because it is one of the greatest things to ever be created by a video game company. The Max Payne series is amazing, you should definitely give it a try!
Konami's survival game made into a movie last year just hits it in the ballpark in every category. The graphics are outdated for sure but they are passable. The eerieness and morbid nature the game has is all done convincingly. I'am glad I heard about the game and since I have gone on to play the other games from 2, 3 and 4. Harry Mason is likeable enough persona to enjoy through the game. The other characters from Lisa to Dr. Kaufman and Cybill Bennet all leave a mark as well.
* Castlevania (only the most epic terrifying adventure of the time)
Play it as a fighter than as a mage, they are much different in playing. Whatever class you choose to play, always create a character of wis:18 and int:18, even if you are a fighter. Torment is mostly a non-combat rpg and these attributes determine your exp level, amounts of memories you recall(and you learn much more abaout his past)and the number of dialogues that appear during the speech. You gain attribute points as nameless one remembers his past, so a low str or con is not a problem for a fighter, also don't forget that you are already an immortal. :)
Characters : Quistis, Selphie, and Irvine could've used some more development, but the others are great.
5173 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Metal Gear Solid" will go down in history as the best Playstation game AND one of the best overall video games ever. This is without a doubt the best game in the series. This Playstation classic had everything that was needed to make an excellent video game. Great story,Intresting characters,Awesome gameplay,Wonderful music score...everything about "Metal Gear Solid" was perfect. Solid Snake is now considered an icon thanks to this fantastic game. EVERY gamer needs to have this game in their collection.
The game was a lot more challenging than the original. The first one you only fought a total of 4 different characters with guns. In this one you fight multiple enemies with guns. Also the gauntlet you run on the first stage is probably more challenging than anything in the original. I played this game so much I can still play it through beginning to end, and get every secret without any hints. One of my top favorite five video games of all time. And a true high water mark for Play Station 1 and maybe video games in general.

5920 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I admit... when I first heard about FF8 I was skeptical. I thought "How could Square match FF7?" Doubtless I still wanted the game so I placed my reserve on the game about 1 month in advance. So the day of September 9, 1999 came (the whole 9-9-99 thing) and I got it. I popped it in and instantly was blown away. I saw the opening seen and knew right then, that the "mature anime" of the characters were amazing. I mean you see the detail that Square includes in just the opening sequence and you are amazed. So I played for a while and put it away till Christmas. (school started) I pulled it back out at Christmas time and decided to play. I got through the first disc that day and then I sat around for hours just playing Triple Triad. For those of you who do not know what it is, it is a sort of CCG in the videogame. Once you start though it just takes up tons of time and it is totally amazing how ingrosing this "game inside a game" is. I loved getting all the GF cards and the Main character cards and such. I just want to say if you get the chance to buy this game, then devote hours to Triple Triad just like all of us devoted hours to Gold Saucer. Other than that the new "junction system" is the new form of Magic/Summon. You junction GF to you which gives you abilities, higher attack/magic points, and other stuff like that. You have to draw magic from animals in the world around you. It's that it just makes you wonder where they got the magic from? The best part about this game though is the amazing Storyline. It changes a whole lot and like most RPGs this one lives off of it's storyline. If you are a Final Fantasy Fan or just an RPG or Videogame fan then treat yourself to this 4 disc monster. You will not be sorry.
The Wario Land II progresses logically. The Wario Land 3 is maddening. If it had not been for Penaldan (German?) I would never have EVER been able to progress anywhere! Without achieving a certain treasure within a certain territory, you can not proceed to any other territory!
525 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recently backtracked and played all of the earlier Tomb Raider games. (avoid Angel of Darkness. Horrible game) TR2 is about as fun as they come. Graphics are outdated of course, but there is so much to do and to much fun to be had. The game is long, keeps your interest, has plenty of cool weapons, and a good story. I'd love to see this game redone with today's technology. "10 out of 10".
8313 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a great adventure. The 2D graphics are awesome. If you can find this game for the PC, then grab it! It is also known in the U.S. under the title "Circle of Blood".
39 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In today's game market it's easy to miss racing games that aren't part of the license-heavy Forza or Gran Turismo franchises. Dirt 3 for PC is in an even worse boat than most since it's been a giveaway for a couple years now with every DX11 compliant ATI video card. As a result a lot of people who get it send it straight to eBay and most people who do play it have not bought it new.

The game starts off by allowing you to choose from one of seven characters. Each one has their own story (some better than others). I will say that Square did advertise the game to be something it isn't (seven different games) which it is not.
The gameplay in Mario 64 is exceptional. Mario has many different types of moves, ranging from tiptoeing around sleeping enemies, to a great long jump, to a very difficult-to-master wall jump. You must master all the moves if you expect to get all 120 stars. Also, there are three special hats scattered throughout the game that allow Mario to fly, walk underwater, and become invisible. Again, all are vital for 120 stars.
-The worlds and places you visit are all so different and an amazment to look at
This microphone does what it is supposed to. Nothing lacking.
So I've re-purchased this game! I was so excited to have the game back in my hands and see the old quicktime videos play through. Man what a rush to add your own interactive episode to your collection. I only wish they had waited to put it on DVD with a few other episodes also. I imagine this was an expensive project.
2208 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great experience, everything as described. Great seller
In other words, the gameplay involving collecting bananas, stomping on enemies heads, and everything else is exactly the same as in the Donkey Kong Country series- the levels themselves are NOT the same as the ones in the DKC series.
All in all, not exactly something you'd get for your 8 year old son (please don't do that - because he won't play it, unless he's some kind of prodigy). For gamers who are tired of games that get old, linear, and tedious, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!
3251 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I get it, it's features are lame but for me this game is cool. It was fun to wrestle with even though there were times where the wrestler would run and stay running and never move again, or when you would lift up a wrestler to perform a finisher and they would stay dazed for like a few minutes, corny moments but still good.
8963 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 best one in my opinion better than the 1st and 3rd one. inhanced graphics, easier enemies (no return of the 5th lvl bosses from the 1st one the two girls that were hard to hit but they return on the 3rd one. 3rd ones pretty hard too) great lvls, better character combos (and know have special moves) and great gameplay. Highly recommended for BEAT EM' UP FANS.
-there is coopreative campaign, which is excellent
1080 also includes a Training mode, which includes two different sections, the halfpipe and a straight run with moguls. When you begin, you can turn into the left gate for the halfpipe to practice your tricks, or you can head into the right gate for a straight downhill run with moguls scattered all over. When you finish, you start back up at the main gate and you keep going until you decide to quit.
Sound: Sound effects are generally well done. Voice acting is okay, although most NPCs don't speak with the kind of urgency you'd think they should have when facing the end of the world. The music is decent, but not as good as the thunderous drums of the first game.
The materia system is complicated. Expect to spend some time fussing with it to understand how it works. This is not necessarily a negative, mind.
Team Dark: This is a team for more intermediate players. The levels are a bit longer, and the puzzles are more confusing. But still, it's a fun team to be. The voice acting for them are okay, I just wish Shadow sounded like he did in Shadow the Hedgehog.
6317 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For me the Nintendo 64 Video Game Console has taken me back to my college days where I spent hours checking out mentally after a hard day of studying.
The levels here are absolutely huge, and filled to the brim with hidden weapon pickups and extra-lives for the adventurous gamer. You'll really have to search these levels and know them forward and backward to get good at this game. Thankfully, level design is handled exceptionally well. Throughout, you'll fly through the sky with Batman's cape (off of buildings, no less), grapple onto chandeliers, traverse the top of a train, and battle your way through a deadly circus, to name a few. The best thing about these levels is that they're designed with Batman's arsenal in mind. When you reach the top of a trapeze and have scarce options of removing that clown from the next platform, you'll be thankful you saved those heat-seeking batarangs, and the game remains strategically challenging in its level design throughout the whole experience.

8805 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks a lot.
6059 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rayman is a solid 2D platformer in the vein of Kid Chameleon and other sixteen-bit era jewels, with about a hundred short sublevels divided into five themed worlds. No plot twists here: shatter the six cages of captured Electoons in every level to confront the master villain and save the Great Protoon. The colorful, witty graphics and the action-packed, absorbing gameplay is where the game really shines. The packaging boasts four separate backgrounds running simultaneously. I haven't counted, but it seems true. The sprites are large, colorful, and expressive. What really amazes is the amount of interaction: you may find yourself dodging enemy projectiles, steering a floating berry, and ducking under swinging obstacles, all at the same time. Not to mention the minigames and the numerous hidden items. Rayman is a complete package, warranting at least a look.
What makes it the best? It has to be the plot, which by gaming standards is superb, the angst driven main character is overdone in RPG's but it works to good effect here. Sephiroth is another reason, he is the best bad-guy in a game ever, he is just pure evil. He causes the plot to be more unpredictable than your average RPG, who honestly expected him to kill Aeris, when they first played through? Main characters rarely die in these sort of games. It is just a joy to play in every sense, the mini games compliment it well, including in the Gold Saucer. The soundtrack is great, of course the graphics are now dated, but it doesn't detract from the gameplay at all, a true masterpiece, if you don't own it already, you couldn't do any better than to buy it now!
Great,you say, but what about multiplayer? Thanks to the inclusion of Team Fortress Classic (which is worth the price of admission all by itself), Half-Life can hold its own in the battle for your online time. With multiple character classes, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, this is a game that truly emphasizes cooperation. For once believe the hype and buy this game
If you play lots of Mac games (and by the way... HOW?!), this is better than relying on mouse/keyboard alone, but the D-pad problems are a major aggrivation.

5242 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This one's my favorite out of the first 4 and I liked them all (couldn't get into Chronicles or the others after). This one has the best looking tombs in the series and there's more tombs here than any of the others... until you get to the City of the Dead (more than halfway through). Then the game changes quite a bit. It becomes dark and dreary.

+Overall:
I will admit that some parts would be harder for younger players. Now, I beat it around age twelve with no problems, including collecting most of the Pizza Planet tokens. And unless you are a very patient child, I forsee a lot of kids handing the controller over to their parents during the last level, where you must face off against three tough bosses at once. Admittedly, my brother and I were both always exceptionally good at video games for our age. But so long as you're willing to help your children through some of the tougher parts, I don't see any reason why your child shouldn't play this game.

1688 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Twisted Metal 2 is the best playstation game ever! The levels are fun because they are so different from one another. Each level provides interactive fun! The cars are great and the specials weapons are excellent! The ending movies, like the tital suggests are twisted. I do not find this game offensive in any way and I think it good for responsible kids ages 8 and up. Everyone should buy this game. It is the best of the four Twisted Metal games! You will love it!
I've since lost the game and don't know for sure what happened to it. I think I gave it away to a high school friend in 1998. I figured "I'm done with the game. I don't need to play it anymore. Time to move on to other things".

1593 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You wouldnt expect it, but this game is good for all the wrong reasons. If you were to buy this, you wouldnt think the best wrestlers would be the the guys you never heard of right? By far the best finishing move in the game is called "The Alcapulco" by some guy whos name I cant remember. Its the most devastating move ive ever seen in wrestling, if he does this in real life to other people, I would suspect these people often become paralyzed.
Although the 3D graphics occasionally falter, especially on computers that might not be souped up with top-of-the-line 3D accelerator video cards, the storytelling - always the highlight of this series - is sound. In a unique move, the other characters in the game go about their business -change locations, have conversations- even when you're not there, prompting you to be a true detective, choosing your suspects and following them to investigate their actions. The voice acting is some of the best I've seen in a video game, especially Charity James as Grace. Fans will rejoice at hearing Tim Curry, who returns once again to give voice to Gabriel Knight. Curry, while -good- as Gabriel Knight, seems to switch accents on us in spots from New Orleans to a general Southern US accent. It also seems rather out of character from a N.O. native such as Gabe, who was able to pronounce several odd French words well in the first game, to falter now on such simple words as "merci".

491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had to go back and play this game after playing (and loving) Tomb Raider Anniversary. Playing Anniversary and then going back to the original really makes you appreciate just how awesome this game was. The level design was just amazing with all the different areas you get to explore. I haven't played the original since it first came out so I didn't realize just how much Crystal Dynamics took from this game. They took a lot. Some of the level designs are almost identical. The biggest difference between the old and the new is the difficulty. Anniversary is way easier. But not because the puzzles or enemies are easier. It's because of the controls. Back in Tomb Raider 1, the controls were pretty terrible. But what do you expect from a game breaking new ground in the world of 3D? So I'll over look it and give it a 5 out of 5.
Story- The game follows the story of Goldeneye pretty closely, and there are two bonus levels that follow other Bond movies. Including one of the hardest levels of all time the Aztec based on the movie Moonraker. 5/5
4818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well-written and with high production values, and combining some of the best elements of Star Trek with a puzzle-solving game, Star Trek: Borg is a must-have for fans of both genres. While some of the puzzles are quite tricky (and, in this game, you actually need to make some mistakes), due in large measure to John de Lancie's characteristically droll performance ("My name is Q--its short for Q"), the game also stands up quite well as a Star Trek installment.
But overall, this is a really great game. If you're looking for a good Mario game for your Game Boy, Color, or Advance, ORDER THIS GAME NOW!
This is an amazing game and you'll be playing it for hours since it's so much fun. Some weapons are really cool and you basically just own tons of enemies with them. I find ships useful for defense since some have powerful or fast attacks. Vehicles are what I used for to attack in smaller groups. Bombing aircrafts literally wipes out a group while only sacrificing a few of your own robots.
3492 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast was/is the last system that Sega released. If I remember right, the Dreamcast is a 128bit system. The Dreamcast system also came out in black (Sports edition) which both versions are cool! The dreamcast was ahead of it's time in my opinion. Sega implemented the 4 player ports built into the console, like N64. Sega also did something that Nintendo eventually became known for. Which is making a controller that seemed/seems gimmickey. The controller has a hollowed out mid-section, which has a port for for a memory car. The N64 had already had the memory card slot in their controller. However, the Sega Dreamcast controller had a open space, which would allow gamers to use a special memory card (VMU card). The special memory card had a screen & buttons on it. Which would allow you to see things on the screen that wouldn't not appear on your TV screen. For example, if you we're playing NBA 2K, and you slam dunked....The screen would have a animated reaction to the dunk! The screen would also show you your in game stats,ect... It was a very cool idea. The Dreamcast is not a HD system. It has the RF and AV capabilities. However, a cool thing with Dreamcast is that there is a device (VGA box) that allows you to hook up the Dreamcast to it, & then the VGA box to your LCD/plasma TV's & it comes in super sharp! You have to buy the VGA box seperately & most to my knowledge are not Sega brand. I recommend getting itto play Dreamcast on the current TV's! The Sega Dreamcast had many awesome titles to play. Some of the best games for this system are:
3753 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I heard of this game 2 years ago, I knew I had to have it. I saw the amazing CG feature on Sonic Mega Collection, and I bought a dreamcast just to get Sonic Adventure. When I saw that the graphics really weren't so great, I thought it was gonna be a bomb to me. But after playing it, I realized that I was wrong. I grew to loving it.
(8) less linear; there is a time limit of sorts but only for about 10% of the game; thereafter, you can meander all you like w/o running out of time;
One of the biggest problems I have regarding this game is the primary antagonist, Sephiroth, the most overrated video game character ever-- but I'm jumping the gun. He was once Shinra's top-ranking operative and probably the single most dangerous man on the Planet, who seemed content to dutifully carry out his orders. Two years before the start of the game, events during a routine mission made him question his own origins. He read into it, didn't like what he found, and went insane. At first he sounds like he's sporting an Oedipus complex for his "mother", Jenova, whom the reports he uncovers incorrectly identify as an Ancient. Believing himself to be Ancients' heir, Sephiroth resolves to travel with her to the Promised Land and make humanity pay for squandering the Planet the Ancients passed on to them. But sometime between then and the start of the game he abandons the whole "Mother!" shtick, forgets about the Ancients and the Promised Land, and decides he wants to become a god by dropping a giant rock on the world and absorbing the energy gathered by the planet to heal its wound. Why the change of heart? NOBODY KNOWS!
1410 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here's a cool trick!(you have to have the 2nd key you get from Bowser)
6582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great set. It gives one of the greats Final Fantasy's of all time (VI) and introduces FF5, which has never before been released in the U.S. The music CD is very cool as well. Although this is originally a SNES game, the PS import is still great to play.
5827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Are you boring with sim city ? Do try Pharaoh! This is a game seems as sim city but it's base on ancient egypt. You need to build a great city and when you reach the target, you can start another one. There are many different maps for you to choose there. The game will also teach you how to play if you is a new player. You won't feel boring after you play this game .
2877 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got this game and I thought it was going to be just an okay game. Did I ever find out how wrong I was! The game is absolutely addictive! You can play as the Global Defense Initiative (GDI)the good guys or the bad guys, who are simply called the NOD. There are 15 GDI missions and 13 NOD missions. There are also two exclusive N64 only missions for each side. The grapihics are okay, but not anything real fancy. If you want to run the game in High Resolution mode make sure you have an expansion pack; this also makes the graphics better. Just remember to go to the opions menu and select High Resolution everytime you play because if you don't the game will run on Medium Resolution. When you use and airstrick for the GDI or use a lot of flamthrowers, flamtankes, or a Nuclear Missile for the NOD, the game play will so slow down to a crawl until the fire stopsm but after the napalm is it out the game goes back to its normal speed. When a soldier dies he spills over and a little pile of blood comes out and then it disappears along with the body. If you run over enemy troops with tank or something, you get a squishy sound. When a soldier dies you may hear a scream. These are the only violent grapcis in the game. The music is great at times, but some of the tracks are boring. This is the best strategy game for the N64! A little hint to help is that the NOD are great at whiping out infantry while the GDI are better equipped to handle tanks and defensive positions. When you are capable to produce tanks and vehicles build vehicles instead of infratry because a NOD flame tank or a NOD flamethrower can wipe out a lot of infantry with no problem at all. If you play as the NOD then build turrets and light tanks to take out the GDI forces. You can use a group of light tanks to run over infantry. Also another hint is that if you play as NOD build some recon motorcycles in the later missions when GDI uses ORCAs, they are kind of like helicopters, to harrass you and if the recon units are in guard mode they will attack the flying pests. This is definitely a must have since new N64 games are no longer coming out. Some of the later missions can take up to three to four hours to complete. Have fun!
In the game to save the world you must fine four mask in the hidden world's and in the game rayman's friend's will help you to get your power's back.
6302 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great product works fine, smells a little different but this might just be the age. Company had it protected in a box and it works 100 percent. Not a 5 star because of smell
Saves/plays well with no problem.
2428 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A really good game. You get 8 characters to play as, and 4 unlockables. 9 stages and lots of items. First player mode is fun (and really hard to unlock nes). Playable up to four players. Free for all and team modes are available, as well as time and stock modes. Overall a great game that is fun for people of all ages.
5290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is undoubtedly the best Harvest Moon game to date, and one of, if not, the best Nintendo 64 games.
3106 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OH MY GOD! I've had this game for about 4 years now and it still kicks a**! The plot is amazing and totally unique (and never gets old) The characters are dynamic and well done, the combat system is well thought out, and the magic system is much better than that of FFVIII. The only possible flaw with this game is the polygonal graphics, but when everything else is so amazing, WHO GIVES A F***? The story follows a rebel group known as AVALANCHE as they battle a large evil multinational corporation, but as they get closer to bringing it down, they soon realize the real fight for the safety of the world is still to come when a madman known as sephiroth (the greatest villain ever concieved)tries to summon forth a power that will destroy the planet, but amke him an all powerful being. Plot twists galore and about 70 hours of gameplay make this game an entirely different experience.
This game was fast, and gave out the message that fast games are fun games. Sonic was a great looking game, with wonderful themed areas, which would beat Mario's plain blocky world. The game was also great because it eliminated many cheap deaths. The games during the time were great, but alot of the games (even Mario) had the annoying death thing. If you hit something, you die. It gets really really annoying, and it's no help either that you usually have to start over again (the usual way to continue would be to memorize annoying passwords). Sure, Sonic had many start over deaths, but the fact that there were shields and rings Rings are much easier to get back if you lose them, and since it's quite easy to get them after they fall out of Sonic, made the game a lot less annoying. And it was easier to kill enemies. SOnic may not be as revolutionary as Mario (or the fact that new Sonic games get 3,4,5 scores, while Mario still goes strong), but I could see a discussion on which game had a better design. I can't really decide either, so I will just be neutral in this discussion. However, you have my approval to bring up MY topic in a schoolyard conversation.
You can climb on walls in some levels, but your movement is restricted to the level. Of course, speak of the devil and he shall appear... let's talk about the real nightmare in this unconscious dream state of a game (that analogy sucks):
There is even a sweet element of sadness in Link's lost childhood, with the loss of his friendship to Saria. The moments where Shiek teaches you a song to warp to a temple always has a reference to a long lost friendship or the somewhat cruel passage of time.
You can see bursts of energy and blood coming out whenever you hit your opponent
Sorry
Now, for the gameplay, there's a lot to talk about. Right after the title screen, there's tons of options to choose from:
get into it. stay into it. play online always.
It came out at the peak of survival horror popularity but was more than just a clone of Resident Evil. Obviously if you're searching for this game 10 years later you must know something about it and the genre. This is probably a must buy if you like these types of games. I would say get Resident Evil 1,2,3 and Silent Hill first, however.
6325 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You may not know this but the N64 was 64 Bit
And so, the release date for the Dreamcast arrived. With Nintendo and Sony on top of their game, what would happen? What would happen to Sega? The Dreamcast would hit the market and... nothing. No sound. No noise. So little was said about the Dreamcast on the release date that it was like Sega had died right then and there. An eerie silence for a company that gave the world Sonic the Hedgehog.
2473 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Super Smash Brothers is one of the most unique ideas to hit the gaming world since first person shooters featured deathmatch. For this game it features numerouse memorable nintendo characters such as Link, MArio, Pikachu, Samus Arron, Fox Mcloud and more in basically a battle royal. The real fun is wehn you gather a group of friends and go into battle. The action is almost always intense. However I do have a few complaints about the game.
So bottom line, if you're new to final fantasy and haven't played this yet, I would say consider a different FF game. But give it a chance if you're not that picky with RPGs. Just don't expect much.
The music is tremendous. It's one of the few games I know that has it's own soundtrack CD available! The music used for the intro sets the mood of the game perfectly.
5528 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While the name and look of the game feels like an original good old "beat the living #$%* outta opponents" Mortal Kombat game, many like myself were surprised to find that its actually an adventure/platormer styled game!

you'll need your old screen, SO DON'T TROW it out yet, you'll need to pry off the plastic black square (carefully) and place it on your new touch screen.
5201 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Metal Gear: Solid - Circa 1998
SCORE: 5-5
Both the Playstation and Saturn versions are great. The Playstation version has shorter loading times, and plus I think the Playstation controller is better for delivering moves because of the simple button layout. Also, there's a Sound Test option only in the Playstation version where you can hear all the sound effects and theme songs in the game. I mean EVERY SINGLE THING you hear in the game can be found in the sound menu! It's pretty awesome.
2060 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 At first I didn't like this game, then I got into it. It's like an electic boardgame. The one thing I hate is playing against the consol. Always play with four real people.
The mediocrity of the Single player game is more than made up for in Multiplayer. Trust me and grab a copy and see for yourself :)
9111 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though this game is not out yet, there are many things to say about it. This game, simply put, is going to cross boundaries never crossed when it comes to technology and gameplay. The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the attention to detail is just jaw-dropping. The storyline is strong and is carried out well through the use of ingame cutscenes and comics. This game will be a classic, everyone should experience it.
THE BAD
This game totally redined the RPG once again like only the people at Interplay can do. Extremely detailed in every way possible. Graphics, sound, atmosphere, wilderness, monsters...there isn't a bad thing to say about this. Best of all, it has an engrossing story line that makes you want to keep playing (without sleep) for hours to get to the next chapter.
It's not that the actual game is bad. I mean, walking around shooting people is fun, and it's also fun to avoid being seen and make it to the end of the level without having to fire your weapon once (and having to remain VERY quiet while doing so). The problem is that the difficulty is incredibly high and the storyline is about as interesting as watching the paint your baby brother smeared all over your television set dry.
404 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Finally, after YEARS of seeing Mega Man in 2D shooter side-scroller gameplay, Capcom began to realize the video game scene was changing, and realism was becoming more important than ever. So in 1997 Capcom decided to take the classic gameplay of the old Mega Man games and bring Mega Man to an ENTIRE new 3D world. I finally got to experience the 3D Mega Man adventure a few days ago, in July 2006. So it took me NINE years to finally play it! What can I say? I'm slow!
The game begins in 1792 with Richter Belmont going into battle with Dracula. After Richter emerges victorious and banishes Dracula, the mysterious Castle disappears. But a year afterwards Richter suddenly vanishes. Maria, a close friend of his sets out to find him and out of nowhere Castlevania, the home of Dracula appears out of nowhere.
4184 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've enjoyed StarCraft ever since it came out. I loved it, and even to this day, I enjoy playing it. StarCraft is just one of those games that I've continued playing over the years. It has everything a great game needs: good graphics and sounds, compelling story, well-developed characters, and balanced, interesting units. If you're interested in getting StarCraft 2, but have never played this, do yourself a favor: skip out on StarCraft 2 and buy this instead.
4251 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Gabriel Knight 3 (GK3) is a challenging and entertaining game that is both aesthetically and technically pleasing, proving to be an all round triumph by game designer Jane Jenson and Sierra Studios. The player is immersed in a compelling, convoluted murder-mystery in a remote French village, gets to play as two characters and gradually unravels a complicated web of mysteries, suspects and, the key ingredient, vampires. The aforementioned aspects of GK3 make this 50-hour, 3 CD extravaganza a true delight to play; however, one may find that the plot is a little too complicated, which proves detrimental to the pace of the game.
I have been playing it for a month now and no problems so far!
3624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing shipping time, awesome game!
Warning to anyone wanting to run this game on Windows XP. I have experienced some graphics problems which don't last long, slight slow down and auto play problems (better to launch from the menu after putting the cd in than using auto play). These issues are a slight anoyance and after the initial install, I have had no problems with launching the game. The game has also never crashed on me using XP.
6826 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you enjoyed the first Sonic, you'll get a major kick out of its sequel. While we all know we get to play as Sonic, there's a new kid in town, and he helps Sonic in his second outing. Tails is supposed to be Sonic's sidekick. Characters aside, let's talk about the gameplay. The gameplay is identical to Sonic 1's, but with several differences going on in-game.
7414 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 loved it no issues with the game
The fifteen minute instructional VHS that came with the Gameshark was a hilarious joke---both VHS's had the little plastic tab on the bottom STILL INTACT! If you still remember how VHS's work, this means ANYONE CAN RECORD OVER THE VHS IF THE PLASTIC TAB IS STILL INTACT! I could literally have recorded gay porn over the VHS, packaged it with the Gameshark, sent it back for a refund, and they likely would have sent the VHS in a new package to be sold to someone else!
9245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diddy Kong and new member Diddy's Girlfriend(Dixie Kong) are off on a long dangerous adventure to save the leader of the DK crew. Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong must go through 40 dangerous and challenging levels to get to the lost world where King K. Rool is located, this is also the place where you save Donkey Kong. When King K. Rool is running jump over him, if you hit his crown then you will be at a major risk of killing yourself.
1296 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game came in good shape not great but good. Still satisfied with my purchase though. Does work great just not a collector's choice. Not worth sending back for the flaws it has but am only going to rate it 4 stars. It said like new condition but was not quite like that when received. Was packaged well but did not say fragile handle with care on it like others I have ordered. Still one of the best games of all times though.
4613 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is an expansion pack to Baldur's Gate, it is an add-in, and it does not expand the original plot. There are three new areas that your party can explore. The experience point cap is also up to 161.000 in this game, making it possible to gain 1 or 2 more levels, depending on your class.
While graphics may begin to appear a little dated, they are well detailed and colorful even though the game does not have any 3D support. What this also means is that they game will run on slower machines like Pentium 90s. It has both Internet and Network support, and both Starcraft and Broodwar include a native campaign editor that enables creative players to design their own missions to share with friends. Both the sound and the music are first rate, with one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game being the different one-liners delivered by the different characters and vehicles whenever you click on them multiple times. Especially good are the standard Terran Marine, the Science Vessel, and the Dropship.
The game itself without the extensions of the previous titles is very impressive, and it's really disappointing how Sega/Sonic Team doesn't make games as good as this anymore. If you don't have it, I suggest you treasure Sonic's glory days and get it. You wouldn't regret it.
Not many cons, so it's definitly a must buy for any fan of fighting games.
Sniper Rifle
So I started the game for the third time thinking, hey maybe it just takes time to catch on. But no, I never really became addicted to the gameplay as I usually do in FF games. The only way to get stronger is to find monsters with different spells and steal their spells for your attributes, which is fine and all, but it got extremely annoying having to do that until you reach 100 and for each character! It doesn't sound necessary but trust that's the only way to get stronger because as your level goes up, so do monster levels, so yes there's no point in even leveling up. Really stupid in my opinion, but it's a different type of thing that I think some people actually did like. Not me. Every other FF was great as they were because they did not deviate the gameplay to this extent.
411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a classic, I first played it at the arcade around 1996, but the game came out around 94-95. Of course, you won't find beautiful visuals, this is piece of history, one of the first 3D fighting games ever created. It was groundbreaking for it's time, and to this day I still find it addictive.
Usually I'm a straight-out adventure game player and I avoid 1st person shooters, but SSII changed my opinion of them remarcably. It was great to actually sink my teeth into something with plot.
6525 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sweet Combination
638 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF 7 has always been my favorite game in the whole world, in fact, it is my whole world. I play it everyday, but I was always sad, because I had to leave the playstation to go on the internet to read about and discuss FF 7. But not anymore! Now, FF 7 is out on the PC, and you have to buy it at any cost, so that you can laugh and cry and live the greatest experience of all time, the experience that is Final Fantasy 7, on your computer! Just thinking about it is making me tear up a little. I promise, you will not be disappointed. The stunning, gut-wrenching visuals, the passionate, heart-wrenching storyline, the exciting, ball-wrenching combat system, the absolutely awe-inspiring characters...nothing could be more perfect. You have not lived if you have not played this game.
This is one of the best FPS ever made.. THIS IS an example of the QUALITY one game can achieve, and is a great alternative to the quantity of short games that lack options and force you to buy the sequel year after year (this is prevalent in console games these days).
5441 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 oh my god don't get me started on this game oh how ive played this so i was ten and playing this game some times accidentally doing a fatality or babality oh how i was so anoying i repeated the same move over and over i beat this game in warrior with subzero so sooo somanytimes i hate mk4 for and the armagedon series the combo threads were more complicated i was so tortured by learning how to do the combos and searching for stuff and you could only do 40% combos mk vs dc the combo breakers were the rage bars which are hard to fill they chould of bean seperated or not limitted and with good reason when some characters like flash get started on a combo thread they don't stop then youl be waisting a bar for rage it should be three chances for combo breakers who ever gets rage first weapon impale and rage meter from mk that shows a shadow and cheats to do specials in air bombs bursting every where and scorpions still there doing custum combos for victory and justice for aaaall!
The predator has the different vision modes while the Alien has the fish vision mode. While a marine it sometimes felt like Half Life, but its the closest you'll get to being in the movie. The guns make the same noise, theres the constant beep of the detector which speeds up as an Alien gets closer. It cant be faulted for realism.
5001 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is scary i LOVE silent hill and if you like resident evil but want more psychologically frightening experience this game is for you. The game starts off with a C.G.I. cut scene of a you crashing your car in silent hill where you have to find your wife and daughter, If you don't like this genre you won't silent hill, If you didn't like resident evil because it was too hard in the puzzle department silent hill is about as hard. The game play is phenomenal. The game is so dark so that when enemies grab you you get so scared oh my god its scary. The music is amazing but for some reason the character model in the cut scene and the character model of your character in game play is alot different. Over all I really enjoy this game and if you love survival horror you will too!
Still, I don't regret buying this....I mean, it's been forever, and I'm STILL searching for a game that can entertain me like this did! I gave Amber 4 stars only because of game length... other than that, I say, you have to play this game!
Special Edition variants
The story for this game is superb, although it lacks a few minor details that not even Crisis Core reveals it still has one of my favorite story-lines in the entire history of videogames or movies. I do recommend you play this game before Crisis Core (before Nibelheim) just because Crisis Core reveals what really happens to Cloud & then this game won't really keep you interested. Besides that though i really think this game is still considered one of the best!

4618 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game's great! Some people are complaining that it's just about the same as the original, but how do you improve something that's perfect? Plus, it's not just the same as Fallout 1, mainly because of its many, many subplots that you can be involved in. I think the subplots are even more fun than the actual story! You'll find yourself saying, "To heck with the stinking starving villagers. I've got to become a Made Man for the Wright Family!" (or whatever your current situation is). Regardless of whether you played the last Fallout or not, it's a great game worth buying.

If you play Myst first, it will help you understand what this is all about. I recommend it highly. It will give you a sense of what you are looking for and why. Myst was a land where you realized that two brothers had done something and were trapped in books for their efforts. Their father and mother also were elsewhere and looking for one another and had left clues in this same area. Your assignment is to piece together, what happened and use your gut feel on how to act in regards to that. There are in fact 4 possible endings to Myst.
Gameplay: 10/10
This game Got a 9.9 out of 10 from Gamespot...thats a pretty hard game site to get a 10...This game almost pulled it through...It is a pain with the Expansion Pak...It costs alot...Well it did when I baught it, which was about the time the game came out...
4149 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I recieved this older game quickly. But I was still playing the new Tomb Raider on PS3 and did not install it on y PC for a couple of weeks. I could not get this agme to work properly on my new computer. It loaded fine and background music worked but the graphics were .. hmm .. stone age looking. No matter how I tried to reconfigure my graphic card it would not adjust to be playable graphics. I deleted it from my computer. I gave it to my son to try and load on his slightly older system, but he hasn't tried to play yet because he is playing his new games. I will update and post what he says about his experience with it.

6827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Possibly the best Sonic game ever made. Excellent gameplay, colorful graphics, and a long and really cool collection of zones to rip, shred, and loop-de-loop through!
4106 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am normally not a real big fan of "sim" type games, so I waited a while to buy this one. I didn't like it all that much at first, but after picking it up I really got to like it. This game is very precise and fairly realistic, which makes it hard to learn, but also a lot of fun to play once you have.
NetPlay is great if you can ignore the amazing quantity of kids that have [bad] attitudes, will scam your stuff from you, steal your accounts, and hack you to death. You need to really watch your back. Also BattleNet is lagged to death. Blizzard puts forth much effort to make the games, but lately, bugs are ok, lack of support, and Hackers make a mockery of battlenet.
This game looks just like the arcade if not better. Sega really came though. I have a dreamcast and only 3 games. This is one of them. This came is the main reason I purchased the Dreamcast almost 2 years ago.
6975 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I didn't really mean the title. But I love this. I don't know if I have beat it, but I do know that I got to the last level. You get to ride a carpet you get to jump on a giant blue cloud made from a genie. The first couple of levels are pretty easy. It's suppose to be a kids game but I give the difficulty level a MEDIUM. The funniest part of this game is that when you jump on the back of a camel it spits (Just like in the movie!!!). There are many places where you can earn extra lives and health. It's got nice music and doesn't seem to repetitive.
If you have never played a computer game before, give "Myst" a try. You will be surprised at how addictive it can become. Did I mention that there is no possible way in which you can be killed? Seriously! How many games today offer that? There's a reason why it has been such a hit; millions and millions of people can't be wrong.
The jungle environments are lush and colorful....the graphics in Turok are undeniably the best (next to Turok 2, my all-time favorite N64 game) People b*tch and moan about the fog, but I see no problems at all with it. It's a JUNGLE. It's SUPPOSED to be muggy....hence, the fog. Sure, in reality, the dense fog is used to cover up jaggies and lack of system power, but I feel its a nice touch.
9416 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gunstar Heroes has been my favorite Genesis game, it is action packed, and there are tons of levels. Just when you think u beat the game, your adventure takes you to outerspace. The 2 player gameplay really adds to the experience. This game is a must have for anyone who enjoys Sega Genesis. Get this game! You will not be disapointed!
I wish that a newer version would be released so that I can play one of my all time favorites again.
+Battle System
+ Graphics were great back when it was made, and is not painful to look at now.
4791 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I noticed a previous reviewer said you really need a fast system to play BZ2. Well I am playing on a 300mhz pent2, 160 megs ram, Voodoo3 3000, and with a 40kbs internet connection speed and it is smooth as silk with every feature turned up and using 800X600 res. He must have alot of stuff running in the background. Well enough of that. The single player game has great graphics and good strategy gameplay. I find the storyline a bit weak though. The multiplayer portion needs some work. Ping times are extremely high and it is hard to get into a low(sub 400) ping room. They really need to fix that portion. While I am not quite as impressed as with the first, BZ2 is still a good game to keep you glued to your monitor for hours.
5783 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't let the title mislead you. This is an AWESOME game. The plot is amazingly creative, the character's moves and spells are cool, and the addition of powerful allies known as guardian forces that you can use in battle are a nice touch. however, the magic system is a little confusing and impractical. You can drastically increase your stats and build up immunities to bad status effects by "junctioning" the spells in your inventory to that statistic or immunity. The problem is this. In order for it to have an effect of any kind you need a TREMENDOUS number of spells. Rather than learning spells, however, you have to "draw" them from multiple draw points along the map or steal them from enemies. Also, rather than use magic, you can summon massive beasts to kick some a** for you. The problem with this is that you will begin to rely on these things too much as using them costs you nothing (no MP, no HP, you just get to do massive damage for free) and then when you hit points in the game when they become unusable, your other skills are horribly underdeveloped. Once you get past this, though, the game is an absolute blast, but VII is still the king of all games.
So I am preparing to send this piece of junk back for a refund. This is the LAST Hasbro/Micrprose software that I buy.

The mini games are fun...I love em'..The questions are a little....eeeyy lets skip that one...The game is overall very fun...I was addicted to this game at some point....Me n' friends would have a blast playing this game...Anyone who loves South park will enjoy this game.
In my opinion, Final Fantasy VIII is one of the best ff games. It has a different feel than the previous ones. Instead of being Knights, Monks, and Mages they are Mercenaries that are hired to help others. Interesting and fun to play. I won't go into the story or such, you need to discover that for yourself.
GOOD:
A month ago, I picked Starcraft up again, and I've been playing it ever since. Although I still like the fantasy setting of Warcraft better, Starcraft really is a fun game. Each of the 3 races has its own character, and there are a *lot* of units, upgrades, special abilities, and compinations / permutations to make becoming and expert in the game a huge challenge. This is definitely a game you can sink your teeth into and get your money's worth out of.
Let me get this straight. He's a detective trying to solve a case, but he's going to waste time finding a cooler ride?
4828 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 King of Fighters Dream Match 99 (KOFDM99) is my current favorite of all the King of Fighters titles (though Garou:Mark of the Wolves is my favorite SNK fighter overall), and that says a lot.
There are a couple of subtle differences between some guides and the originals. Most notably is the Ocarina of Time 3D guide. The original guide was around 224 pages and written in three columns. Here it's 288 pages and is written in two columns. It's a lot easier to read and a lot cleaner as a result. Much of the text isn't so cramped. Some moments in the Ocarina of Time 3D guide pop out a lot easier. It just looks better and more organized overall. The Legendary Checklist in the Ocarina of Time Guide is also better looking. The tables are easier to read and easier on the eyes. Likewise, the Legendary Checklist in the Twilight Princess Guide is A LOT easier to read and A LOT less cramped. In the original guide the entire checklist was on a single page with just the location. Here it's expanded to be in a table format, the font is bigger and it now lets you know your first chance to complete it as well as telling you what's required. The Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks guides are virtually unchanged from their initial releases. The Windwaker HD is pretty much the same as well. So for those wondering about whether or not they've changed some things from the original guides, the answer is yes. Quite simply put some of them are a tad easier to read.
Over all this is a fun game with the opportunity to change through mods. The graphics are cool and strategy is more important than with the prior C&C releases. Worth about 4 stars but at this price it gets 5.
1318 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awsome
441 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like this game . I love fight games!
3483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very ominous and scary. I love the capabilities the characters have, and the scenery is spooky. It was one of the last PSone games, so the graphics are advanced for that platform. You can definately see the improvements between Resident Evil and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. I love playing this on my PS2, and I'm not even getting the gamecube version of it because it's exactly the same as this version.
The sound effects are awe-inspiring. From the heavens to dungeons, the Antarctic to the tropical islands, jungles to steeply sloped snow-covered mountains----this game has entertainment in every level---with very appropriate sound effects....like on the urban part of the first level, aftershock--sirens are wailing; waves from the ocean. It's so realistic.
Elements to review:
Einhander's developers hit the nail squarely on the head (pun absolutely intended) where the challenge level is concerned. The game can get pretty rough, but it's the GOOD kind of rough. No shields or defensive power-ups are available (one of the game's very few flaws) so one hit will kill you, but it has to be solid, direct impact. Enemy bullets that travel at 2 MPH and just barely graze the little ball on the top of your radio antenna don't count. The last two bosses are tough to beat, and some of the earlier ones aren't exactly a cake walk either, but the only one that I think crosses the line between "challenging" and "frustrating" is the robotic ape mid-way through stage five. Oh, how I despise that banana-chewing abomination!
-Last but not least are the war battles, which appear at first to be in the form of a

You build rides from scratch, but if you are a daredevil like me, don't build your dream coaster, unless you want it to just sit there. That is the disadvantage of the game--my intensity and nausea ratings are always too high for the guests--they are GUTLESS!! So, make sure that you build rides and coasters that aren't "too intense" for the little wimps.
9644 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came as described, plays well.
6395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I was a kid my friends and I played a board game called "Squad Leader." The game focused on individual squads and tactics in WW2. We always wondered what it would be like to be in the game, fighting from house to house. Hidden and Dangerous has done that and then some! This game is dangerous from many different perspectives. If you have a significant other in your life DO NOT BUY THIS GAME because you are headed for a break up, or divorce court for sure! I hope you drink coffee to stay awake at work because if you don't you WILL! As one of my fellow reviewers has put it, time will fly and before you know it the rooster will be singing his song. If you love the World War 2 era and you have a gaming problem this one is a God send! The bugs that people mention are the only drawback, but it has only happened once to me. I believe that the patch should solve it all. Rainbow Six is an excellent game but H&D is much more interactive. In H&D you can control each member of your team, and they each have specific roles. The best is the ability to strip the germans you blast of their weapons, ammo, and uniforms. Be careful with grenades and explosives because you will blow your self apart if your not.
9467 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great classic title.
Overall, this game is a vast improvement, and is the best yet (but that might change as soon as I play "Evolution"). The graphics are great, awesome story, vast, detailed enviroments, and some hot blue chick that always pops up. What more could you ask for?
8. Blackheart (A good and Cheep caharacter, but not as much as Wolvie.)
7860 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda fans are the most dedicated when it comes to one of Nintendo's longest running series. Who knew that back in 1992, Nintendo was about to release something so epic onto the gaming community. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was a Zelda classic that graced the SNES years ago. It was and still is revered as one of the best SNES games and one of the strongest entries in the Zelda series.
Graphically, the game is not one of the best, but it's not bad. The soundtrack is great. It goes from happy melodies (90% of the game) until sourt of scary ones like in Ghost Valley (one of the racing circuits). It's useless to say every possibility this game has, and its great replay value. No need to read this review either, I hope it was helpful, but just go ahaed and buy this title! I know it's a little old, but it's much better than many nowadays games.
Oh and there is more! Guns have always been great in the Resident Evil games but these guns are crisp. By that I mean they may not be awe-imspiring like the electroshocker from 2 or as satisfying as the enhanced shotgun rounds from 3 but they will do the job exactly like you would expect. The twin uzi's will stop a zombie in its tracks but the spiders will laugh as they pump poison into you. But you can show them who is boss with a blast from the grenade launcher, now better built to kill groups. Across the board the guns will satisfy.
Let me tell you about this chopper, it has the latest stealth techonolegy, the Radar sig. is 600X smaller than the AH-64 Apache. If you hover at 60ft. no one will see you. This isn't bad for $19. When I bought this I was wondering what was the catch... Truth is no catch.
1988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Fox 64 (known as ''Lylat Wars'' in Europe) is a shooting game for the Nintendo 64. You play as Fox Mccloud, and he must go on an adventure through space to find and destroy Andross. Throughout the game, Peppy, Slippy, and Falco help you.
The graphics are very nice and you do get a sense of what it is to control ships and manage space stations in space. Although alot of the screen is taken up by menu boxes that can be removed, the ability to zoom out my have you scrolling like crazy to manage your space battles. As for the cutscences, they are not anything to write home about, but they are nice.
898 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really love this game that is quite similar in concept to Super Mario 64. Though it is a lot simpler than its successor Banjo Tooie (in that one there are many types of eggs plus you can change characters) but it is a lot more fun. The successor had a lot more dialog that you had to wade through.
2573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very clean and almost looks like it can right out of the package. I say almost because there are more hair line scratches on the screen then I would like, however, I'll be buying a scratch resistant glass screen here shortly for it. Easy fixing. The Gameboy Color came much earlier than anticipated (I was thinking it was going to come maybe Febuary or March) but it came today thickly packaged in bubble wrap.

In Op4 you are Adrian Shephard, a corporal sent in to eliminate all traces of the debacle at Black Mesa. However, shortly before reaching the LZ your helicopter is shot down by weird creatures and you are separated from your squadmates. The military has realized it's in over its head and pulls back, but you are left behind, trying to stay alive with other remnant forces.
The first game is a bit old, but the graphics are still wonderful and the storyline is great. (The voice acting is top notch as well, featuring a cast that includes Tim Curry and Mark Hammill) The setting is New Orleans and you play the role of Gabriel Knight, a struggling southern man who owns a failing bookstore and who dreams of writing murder/mystery novels.
I was in Tokyo, Japan a few years back and I found the Sega building, its like 5 or 6 floors of arcades.
8575 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Awesome throwback to when video games we simple and fun.
5734 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy 8 is a really great game in a lot of ways. In terms of story and character development, it can scarce be beat. However, its gameplay mechanics, while fun and interesting for the first 30 or so hour, get old and stale toward the end of the game. Battles become tedious, and they just start to take way to long.
8804 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Concept: Take an incredibly fun game(Donkey Kong Country) and make it better by including better graphics, better music(my favorite soundtrack of all time), a better plot, new pals and more bad guys.
942 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda OCT is an action-adventure RPG (there is debate about this, and some argue Zelda is it's own genre) with a combination of puzzles, fighting, and racing. Anyone who enjoys this genre will be enthralled by OCT (which you can play on several Nintendo platforms including the 64 and Gamecube). I still play Zelda OCT 10+ years later on the Gamecube from time to time, it's that good of a game.
2717 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lunar Silver Star Story first debuted on the Sega CD. While the Sega CD system didn't last very long, Lunar did manage to get quite a following. Unfortunately, because the Sega CD user base wasn't large, Lunar was overlooked by several gamers. The game had a release on the very short lived Sega Saturn, but again, never reached audiences. In 1999 Lunar finally reached a large audience. The Playstation. With several changes and updates from the original Sega CD version to make the story more complete and satisfying.
4805 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you want to get a hint what is big business all about, if you can't understand why have the great personalities (brought back to life in this game!) persisted at their work, when they could have long retire, sit down, feed your mouse some cheese and go on. Graphics is excellent, game runs wonderfully, you have very lot of options, different campaigns, scenarios, around 50 trains and 30 cargo cars. You must master building, transporting cargo, finances & stocks and much more. You must be very accurate at laying tracks because it is made somehow tricky, plus you have to control the steepness of the track (very influential on train & delivery speed). You can also buy many additional buildings for your station, which adds good look and value to your company. I bought the game on second hand, so I haven't got the manual, because the first owner has ''misplaced'' it (would you expect from 12 years old kid in Slovenia to read English manuals? He probably threw it away). But if you are persistant, you'll get into game quite fast. I think it wil stay your thrill for a long time.
And the ugly: Can be really difficult at times
Hate Nintendo,
6822 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game Konami created? Well, it just so happened to lead to lots of other games in the series, like the NES TMNT, Turtles in Time, Tournament Fighters, etc. Well, Around those times, Konami created a Game Boy TMNT game. At first, I had no idea what the heck it would be like. Would it be a platformer like the first NES game? And then it was released.....and blew us off with awesomism.
The concern that most people have with this game, however, has nothing to do with the technical merits, and I'll admit that there's some merit to complaints about the game's story. While the idea that Square set out with in development is fine, ultimately, the tale fails to break out of the same old pattern that's been carved out for Final Fantasy games from the beginning. Ostensibly a love story (and I can assure you that it works well in that regard, as the individual character development and storytelling is honest and well paced), the plot seems to vascilate schizophrenically between a poorly described threat to the survival of the world and the plight of the individual characters. This can get frustrating at times, especially considering the fact that the story could have been told just as effectively if the writers had never worried about introducing the notion of saving the world. In the end, however, the plot confusion turned out to be a wash for me, since the real story (the love story) is told as adeptly as the genre and cultural incompatibilities will allow.
If you liked this game check out all of The power rangers games, books, movies & cds
The camera angles are manageable considering you have control over them. You might find yourself slightly frustrated with it in certain enclosed areas (such as Boo's Haunted House) but for the most part, the camera angles are very functional. The gameplay is extremely fun with a very gradual learning curve. While you only need 60 stars to complete the game, players looking to one-up the challenge can elect to try and collect all 120 stars, which requires true mastery of the game.
Cons: Graphics may bother those that are use to newer games
4796 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Ok, by reading the reviews of the people here, I can see someone has figured this game out. I bought it not realizing it had missions where you had to do certian thing at certain times. I thought this was going to more of a graphics rich version of Dune 2000 or Tiberian Sun...was I dissapointed.
4715 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The itme is very good all mat fun for kids and the game is clean then once more i thank you.
5900 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is one of 530 reviews so if you read this I consider myself lucky. Alright lets get to it. First off, it was a nice idea. Finally a game that focused on loving and caring, without being sexual, and helping your fellow man. However I think that this is all they focused on in production. The game, and this is sad for a Final Fantasy, is bad. I'm sorry but it reeks. SquareSoft is running out of orginal ideas and it is showing. Although, the ideas were innovative. Enemies that level up with your characters. Never will your characters be gods over an enemy. Unless it's a boss. For some odd reason boss levels are limited. So a player can beef up their characters all they want and then beat the messout of the boss without worry. The Guardian Forces, while still a nice idea, were poorly planned. A GF is like a Pokemon (in a sick sadistic way). It gains levels with your character and through it your character can gain abilities. Problem is GFs can quickly make their 'host' gods very quickly. At level 15 my main character's strength was through the roof because not only did he have Ifirt equipped but all his strength increases too. He could cut down enemies in one blow! While that's nice it takes away from the difficulty of the game. The battle system is a nightmare too. If I have to push buttons to get more damage done, then why don't you just program the game to register the extra damage. Granted this only applies to Squall but it gets very annoying to have to mash buttons to get a character's strength up. I hated it in Super Mario RPG and I hate it in this game. The GF spells have to be pumped up if you want it to do any serious damage. What happened to watching the nice animations and appreciating the work of the artists who designed them. The story line is my next pet peeve. The strength of an RPG comes from the story not the gameplay. The story in this game is shoddy. Picture a writer with the exact opposite abilities of John Grisham or Micheal Crichton. It is that bad. Not only do you have to mash buttons in the battles but you have to mash buttons to get past the annoying long dialouge exchanges (that seem to be written by a pre-schooler with help from their friends). It is worse than Parasite Eve 2's story. At least they tried. I'm done with my tirade now. You want the truth, this game is not worth [price], it isn't even worth the rental. Go to a friend who owns this poor excuse for a game and play it there or borrow it. For those who saw the Charlie's Angels movie. This is the game the two (since when is it two player) kids are playing when Barrymore pays them a visit.
---------------------------
4651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this game when it first came out, and I have loved it since. I have so many fond memories of playing this game, and I'm proud to own it again. It's an excellent game for gamers of all ages and generations. A must have!!!!
Besides the goofy storyline and tough controls, its still an awesome game.
7257 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Simply confusing and I don't see how any non-6 year old kid in the 90s could like this.
9152 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was good game to go back and play again after a couple of years(well decade)
It didn't end there. We had fests where we would do nothing but attack each other with punches. We bought a bunch of video cable and conected three televisions together to form a sort of splitscreen, LAN-type mode, covering up other player's screens so we wouldn't know where the other players were. We playedthe Team mode constantly, refining our knowledge of the levels and our marksmanship. Fed up with auto-aiming, we turned it off and further honed our skills. I began to be able to play the Complex level in my sleep. Proximity mines soon became an addiction. We pushed the game to its limits, learning that we could move the ammo boxes, shields, and guns around by shooting them, thus reworking their positions and creating large stockpiles in team games. We began to use Gameshark to unlock multiplayer maps that weren't intended for the final version, as well as increasing the limits on two and three player maps to four players. We discovered a code that turned one player invisible, and proceeded to do hunter-hunted scenarios over splitscreen.
While I've heard of the Oddworld games in the past I never really bothered playing one until now. I picked up Exodus due to its quick save feature (PC gamers will know what I mean). While this helps tremendously it doesn't ease some of the game's pain. Some segments of this game are just impossible to pass or to figure out. I don't know if the developers play tested the WHOLE game but if they did they were cheating. The story is pretty good here: You play as Abe who has to save his race from being slaves from the Mudokans. This time they are turning his people into a strange drink...yeah weird plot I know but it works.
8201 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game is two hard for younger kid to navigate , and it is a little hard for them to understand how to play it. But the graphic are good.
THATS TRUE GAMING FOR YA!
Parents Note: As good as this game is, it's not for the kiddies. It contains strong language and lots of blood, so it earns its Mature rating (ages 17 and up). But if your kids are too young for this game and they still want to play it, try Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough instead. They're less violent then Perfect Dark, but still be aware of their Teen ratings (ages 13 and up). If your kids are still too young for any of these games, let them play Banjo-Tooie. There's a segment in the game that plays out a lot like Perfect Dark, albeit much less violent with its Everyone rating (ages 6 and up), and you can still play it mutiplayer. But even if your old enough to play Perfect Dark, give all the games I mentioned a try (Goldeneye, The World Is Not Enough, Banjo-Tooie). But back to the main point: Perfect Dark is a classic!
2280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is probably one of the most exciting and intense racing games I have ever played. Set in the Star Wars universe, this is definitely one that's sure to last a long, long time.
Finally,
I do have a few complaints with the game though. Hunting the meat eaters (the velociraptor and Allosaurus) is more difficult then it should be, due to the fast walking speed of the creatures. They walk very fast, making it extremly difficult to line up a head shot (which you need to kill them), meaning that you'll die many times due to one missed shot. This may be realistic, but it does get annoying. There could also be some dino vs dino struggles that could take place. Its a bit strange to see a Stegosaurus calmly eating some grass while a gigantic T-rex thunders right past it (ignoring the stegosaurus as well). My other complaint is once you unlock all the weapons, stages, and dinosaurs, you really don't have anything else to do except just keep playing over and over again, meaning that the game can get repettitive.
Don't believe me? You will soon enough. First and foremost, Konami must think all Castlevania fans are forgetful and dumb. You see, the game begins with you playing as Richter, and you're back in the final stage of the previous Castlevania game fighting Dracula. This is ridiculous. I don't want to play THAT game, I want to play Symphony Of The Night. You don't have to redo the final fight with Wart in the beginning of Super Mario Bros. 3. So you shouldn't have to start off Symphony Of The Night by going back and fighting the final boss in the previous game. What the hell is wrong with Konami? This whole Richter/Dracula thing should have been removed.
Although this is basically a kung fu fighting game, it adds enough to make it more interesting than the rest:
8197 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing Mega Man games since the late eighties, and this is one of my favorites. In fact, it may be my favorite in the X series. I've had it since it was first released in 1997 and I still play it occasionally now. This game is so cool! You get to play as X or Zero, you get anime cut scenes that tell the story, plus there's even blood and a little mild profanity despite the KA rating(now E). The challenge level is just right. I never found this game too easy like X2, but it was never too hard either. I've literally beaten this game dozens of times, so the replay value is pretty good too.
The music is once again composed by Nobou Uematsu, and he delivers once again. My ONLY complaint is not with his compositions itself, but with the sound quality. The Sony PlayStation had a superior sound chip system in comparison to the Super NES, yet the sound quality of games like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3 (er, 6!) blasted you with superb sound quality. I don't hold this against the game to any large degree, but I did find that kind of odd...especially if you hear Michiru Yamane's score for Symphony of the Night or Toshihiko Horiyama's score for Mega Man X4.
OVERALL
2451 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was more expensive than the used console I bought, but I didn't mind the price just because of how fantastic it is to be able to play this again.
To unlock the Mushroom Kingdom beat the game with all eight original characters. This will open up a level that resembles an old-school Super Mario Bros. level.
This flight sim is based on the whole war on the western front, from the Battle of Britain to the Battle of the Ardennes, and on. Very unique array of aircraft, ALL are flyable! Planes like the B-25, B-26, Ju-88, and Mosquito are fully modeled, from the controllable gunner positions to the damage modeling. Unusual planes like the P-55 Ascender, and Go-229 flying wing are also flyable, though they would never fly in real life. There are many tanks, flak guns, and ship convoys. There is even an invasion fleet on campaigns on a certain day. Missions are reasonable and challenging, the campaigns are great, with maps, separate available missions, and customization of your own personal aircraft. Campaigns are very lengthy and difficult, however. CFS3 wins the prize for labeling: Aircraft, tanks, airbases, factories, refineries, and other objects are all labeled with their distance from you in feet. This, however, makes it somewhat more of an arcade game unless you turn it off. No mission builder, unless you load one for it off the internet, (Have a nice time figuring that out, they deleted the CFS3 website!) Graphics are good, some trees, many different buildings and airbases, relatively detailed ships, and smooth aircraft. Most of Britain, France and Germany are modeled, and even part of Spain and Switzerland. AI is not that great, enemy fighters sometimes ignore you, but have pretty good aim. They also crash by themselves too easily. Tanks have to stay in their formations, and almost never fire at all. The intro video is intense and extremely realistic, with the exception of the Go-229 at the end. The menu shows your customized aircraft and armament parked next to a hanger, which is cool. User interface is good. Menu music is depressing, which is probably intentional. Relatively realistic in all.
8186 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It took some arm-twisting, but Sony finally caved when Capcom demanded it release the next chapter of the X series on their instant-success PS1. So, with that in mind, did Capcom have what it took to bring this franchise back to life in the 32-bit world? The answer is a resounding YES! X4 kept to its 2D platforming roots and not succumbing to the increasingly 3-dimensional nonsense that was the name of the game near the end of the 20th century, and instead used the added bits to paint a vivid and visually amazing canvas in its awesome level structures, graphic effects, and huge, powerful bosses. Add on the ability to play as Zero in all his saber-swinging glory full time, a tragic story line that divides itself depending on who you're playing as, a few new hidden items to find, some of X's best weapons and Capsule effects, and four, count'em, FOUR different Sigma forms and you have one of the best X games made. It would've been even better if Capcom was a better judge of character when getting the voice actors for the anime cut-scenes (though as I said, Ruth Shiraishi was better as X than Mega Man in MM8), but I guess beggars can't be choosers...
Why I like this game so much? Because two-four player game is an unbeliveable great option! There are so much good weapons for exemple Slayer(missile that you can lead straigh to your enemy),
Wan't to have the console to play Pokemon for hours.
4497 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've enjoyed this game for years. It doesn't get old. Lost my original copy and had to get another.
I think the creators made a mistake. When you hit L2 the camera rotates clockwise, and R2 makes the camera rotate counter-clockwise. It should be the other way around. Another thing that needs reversed: the way Spyro flies in the bonus stages. When you press up, you fly down. When you press down, you fly up! Strange mistake. This makes it harder to complete the flying stages, however, you don't have to finish them.
3619 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome love it Very good service! THANK YOU
If you haven't yet, pick this one up.
It is what it is and thats a game not a flight sim but it is fun to play a few hours now and then.
2583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wasn't alive when the original Super Mario Bros. came out, but I do faintly remember playing it when I was young, and I faintly remember liking it. When I went to Target to get a game, since Pokemon Pinball wasn't there, I got this game instead. I realized that this game was a better choice than Pokemon Pinball. First off, the graphics are marvelous, and proves that GBC is just as good as the NES, if not better. Another thing good about this game is the new save system(I knew it was new because I had a friend who had the original for the NES). They also installed a new challenge mode which is very tough, but later in the game, there is a new item in the Toy Box that gives hints to where all the Yoshi Eggs are. The Toy Box has options like Fortune telling which can be very amusing(And get you five more lives to start with if you get an Extremely Lucky card) and tons of printouts for the Game Boy Printer. You might also want to have a Link Cable and a friend with this game handy for the Vs. Mode. In this mode, you can race your opponent on the special race courses. You can also play this mode in one-player, with Boo as your opponent. There is also a new Photo Gallery, which takes a picture every time you do something new, like stomp a new enemy, or trade high scores with a friend with the Infared sensor. Yes, I said high scores, another new feature. But this is all aside from the main game. The game isn't really too challenging until the last world, but I noticed that you can jump higher in this game than any other 2D Mario adventure I've played so far. Once you beat the main game, you get the Star levels, which are a little more challenging anyway. And once you get the high score, you can get to the Lost Levels, which are EXTREMELY hard, and the last of them has TWO Bowsers! Definetly a great buy, because of all the time put into a game like this.
then after this boring proccess you must draw 100 Tornados in order to raise your attack power (I am almost completely CERTAIN this process is required to defeat the final boss)
the plotline makes the most sense, and the level layout is far superior with the emphasis on striking level design rather than puzzles. Has there been any sequence in any of the sequels to compare with the waterfall plunge and t-rex entry in the lost valley? Or the tower scene in Rome where you battle the rooms of the gods? I don't think so. This is before you needed a hint guide to find any of the bonuses and you didn't die fifteen hundred times trying to solve far too many puzzles.
1020 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mario Kart 64 is one of that games that is hard to find, but that effort has a very good reward, 'cuz this is one o'that games that began the real 4-player madness (you know...), it's also considered as one of the best Mario Kart games ever (better than Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and maybe as good as Mario Kart Wii). The only thing that I didn't give the 5/5 is that this game is a bit tedious. Yes, I know that graphics... forget about the graphics, 'cuz first, it's the N64, and second, graphics are not important in this game that focus on fun. If you have a 64, and you don't have already MK64, you must find it now! Everybody with a 64 must have this crazy great game! (don't forget four controllers for the real madness).
Final word::-) :-) :-) :-)
I would definitely recomend it
Finally, Battle. Net rocks. You are basically getting a MMORPG for free, without the monthly fee. Get online, meet your friends, form a party, and hop on a game. Incredibly simple. The games gets dynamically tougher as more players join, and you will never feel like there are more players then there are monsters. Forget camping, or taking 3 months to level - Diablo 2 lets you have fun immediately and doesn't slow down. During launch, everyone was trying to use it at the same time, but now things have calmed down significantly.
373 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought an old game boy micro off the internet and ordered this charger separate. I worried it would not work, but it fully charged the unit within an hour. Great product!
Controlls: 5.0
The combat system is still excellent to this day. The amount of combos that each character can do is pretty substantial and you will discover new moves without being too overwhelmed. There also aren't really any cheap tactics unlike some of the more recent iterations of tekken (such as excessive juggling).
This game had a lot to live up to coming on the heels of what is arguably the best game for the entire playstation system, Resident Evil 2.
About the game since my review would be pretty short: basic story is that you (with or without your comrade) are raised from the dead by Zeus to go save Athena from an evil sorceror. In each level, you transform into a different beast after collecting three orbs (first level: wolfman, second level: dragon, etc.). Cool.
PRESENTATION: 10/10
TWO: Low, low prices. Because there are so many games, you'll have no trouble finding games that are in the ...range, thanks especially to the "Greatest Hits" series.
5616 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I tried to play the game but after getting to the second disc got completely bored with the game. Un-equipping all the GF's and any magic every time there is a change in parties is bit annoying. Guess they tried to make something different. I just like a traditional rpg where everyone has their own individual magic and skills like the previous FF games and some other rpgs. But anyway, there were glitches in the game and I got stuck in areas and had to play over certain places. And on the second disc could not get off the ship. Just gave up and will give the game away. Going back to play a Tales rpg.
I likened this game to the Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast within and Phantasmagoria. Unlike Phantasmagoria, there were no gory scenes (of which I was thankful). The people were movies of real people and not cartoons. The dialgue though limited offered enough variability. One important point would be to save often. I got killed alot.
- Amazing graphics
Peace
You have to collect 120 stars in order to complete the game 100% but guess what? Many of the stars are flat out boring to collect due to being pathetically easy and basically being handed to you within minutes. What kind of challenge is that? The one where you have to swim around and open treasure chests in a certain order is baby-ish, and the one where you swim around collecting 8 predictably located red coins inside a basic building near the beginning of the game is offensive. Or how about simply stomping a post into a ground to release a gate and thus, release the star? Don't even *think* about mentioning the ones where you walk up to Toad and he simply hands you the star. Granted, the game seems to always alternate easy star-collecting challenges with longer and more drawn out ones as a way to balance things out but that's the problem- the stars are either too easy or too long. There is one star mission so awful it makes your inevitable death seem like something to anticipate- the one where you have to jump across a series of moving poles. You have to jump at *just* the right moment while making sure you're positioned in the right spot. This takes forever and is dreadfully annoying.
Back when the PSX was first released, the system didn't have much in the way of standout games. Of course, there were a few noteworthy PSX launch games like Twisted Metal, Doom, and Tekken, but for the most part, the PSX didn't have anything outstanding yet. Thus, Resident Evil was made. Taking influences from the earlier survival horror series Alone In The Dark, Resident evil took all of its aspects to the next level and eventually became one of Capcom's most successful franchises to date, ranking just behind the Mega Man and Street Fighter games. In fact, the original RE game was probably the first PSX game to make the system worthwhile before other important games were released in the following years.
My first introduction to the new wave of 16 bit gaming and wow was I hooked.
in a game, you are a prisoner in a prisoner vessel heading
I'm disappointed. That's the only thing I can say at the moment. Maybe one day an easy tournament fighter will hit the market where the main purpose of the game is to have the computer opponents move along at a reasonable pace for all the normal people out there who constantly struggle with fighting games. A game that will give people the much needed time and patience to put a move on their opponent. A game where you aren't expected to hurry up just to deliver a simple move. Somehow, despite hundreds of tournament fighters that will eventually hit stores, I doubt this will ever happen. I will never buy another tournament fighter again. Ever.
-The Anime intro lacks the original Japanese vocal theme song
This game started out as you as the "Hero of Time". You were the only forest child without a fairy, and the Great Deku Tree sent the annoying little fairy to you. When you go to the Deku Tree, he says you must get these Spiritual Stones to open the Door of Time, and a bunch of other crap like that.
I got a secret to tell ya too. There are secret levels in this game that are beyond hard! You have to get over 5000000 points in the original mode. If you think about it, it's not so hard to get that many points. It's actually really easy.
1685 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it got here quick and was in great shape. would purchase from this company again. play great, my husband is testing out as we speak, thanks!!!
The introduction of logical hit-points on your enemies is a great feature. Even bosses in this game can be taken down with a well-aimed shot to the head. It is this type of realism that really makes you feel like your James Bond and that you can sneak in, sneak out, covertly taking out henchmen as you go, or springing alarms and having to go through massive shootouts. Because of this there are many ways to beat the game, and limitless possibilities for how you accomplish your tasks. AKA: You can take easy ways or hard ways of beating levels...and if you don't have a strategy guide you'll have to find out those paths by yourself (which, I might add, is incredibly fun if you want to waste a day away).
If this game doesn't satisfy your sick animal-like needs, then try looking for the fire blaster thing. You can cook zombies with this. It's near the end of the game hidden in a locker. Go near the locker and press the X button, and it will open and you will say "sweet".
Pac-Man is that fun and addicting arcade game you'd play at your local video arcade.
3. If you misdistribute the thief skills, you can count on missing a lot of goodies that are in locked crates.
Cons:
1888 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun game! Never played a dragon with an attitude of kick butt until I found Spyro.
Team Chaotix: By far my favorite team. I love Vector, he's so awesome. This team is more or less based on certain missions to do, not exactly getting through the stages. You have to find certain things, or defeat a certain number of enemies, or things like that. This team is for people who want something different. HATE Charmy's voice.
5 stars and 100% recommended.
7713 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works. Cartridge in great shape
4930 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is probably one of the best adventure games of all time! It's one of the few that have made the third-person perspective work well. Your character wakes up in a Sanitarium, with a total memory loss. He has bandages on his face, and he has no idea what happened or why he's there. You can talk to the inmates, which some are humorous, others not-so-much. Once you escape the Sanitarium (this is sort of an introductory level), you will be out in the surrealistic, bizarre world, ready to look for answers.
4078 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Half-Life is a first person shooter in the same vein as Doom and Quake. What sets Half-Life apart though, is the more detailed backrounds and more realistic gameplay. In Quake, you blast everything to pieces and plow your way through the levels. In Half-Life, you pretty much do the same thing except the backrounds and characters are more interactive...it almost seems like it's part role playing game. The graphics rival those seen on Quake and Unreal, and the story has more back-bone also. Overall, Half-Life provides more of a realistic environment to explore (and destroy) than most other games of it's kind. If you can't get enough of first person shooters, Half-Life is a great choice for some more action.

3949 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The House of the Dead 2 is one of my top ten Sega Dreamcast games, hands down! First off if you have ever played House of the Dead on the Sega Saturn, ( and loved it ) ........ ( I know I do! ) you'll absolutely love THOTD2. Game Informer ranked it 99 in it's best games of all times, WOW! Back in the day when I bought the game, ( 1999 ) only third-party light guns could be had for the Dreamcast. So when I first played the game I used the hand controller to kill the zombies, and it was harder than hell! ( not to fun ) About a year later I got a Mad Catz Dream Blaster, and "boy howdies" did it make the game great! It has auto reload, and automatic rapid-fire along with the standard fire option. Great Gun! The HOTD2 is a horrer themed on-rail light gun shooter that I still have a blast playing even today. Yeah, yeah, I know the graphics aren't up to par with today's games but so what, the game simply put, ROCKS! Great game-play has always been more important than eye candy in my books. THOTD2 is certainly no easy cake walk, but with all of the power-ups and the help of an automatic weapon, a good time is there for the taking. THOTD2 is an continuation of the first one, ( on the Saturn ) but now you're blasting your way across the waterways of Venice, in the Central Plaza, The Roman Colosseum, and then Goldman's Tower! Caleb Goldman was the man who funded Dr. Curien in making his evil creations during the Curien Mansion incident. ( in the first game, pay attention! ) Goldman resurrected 'The Magician' the main boss from #1, he's bigger, he's badder, and he has no since of humor at all. He was created to oversee the birth of 'The Imperor'. ( Oooooh ) He's a shape shifting being designed to rule over nature and to destroy mankind! I think it's cool that the game's endings can change based on different conditions and the different paths that can be taken. I.E. If you play solo or with a friend, how many continues are used, how many innocent bystanders you kill, and the number of points you've earned. When you find the AMS agent G, he'll give you a field journal that shows you all of the Bosses weak points, and boy is that a helpful thing! There are a lot of the same characters in this installment and also new ones, and that helps in tying the story of the two games together. THOTD2 is a perfect port from the arcade classic, but now you don't waste handfuls of quarters to enjoy this awesome game. The graphics are great for the day, and the colors are crisp and sharp. It's so fun shooting the arms off, then blowing a gaping hole in the chest, then a leg ( or two ) and then blowing the scum-buckets head off to finish him ( or it ) off. Blood, lots of blood. And boy are there a lot of zombies, critters, monsters, and bosses to shoot at. The voice acting is as cheesy as it can get, but that only adds to the charm of the game in my opinion. Unlike the first Saturn game, this one won't set you back much at all, the Saturn's HOTD can run up to $150.00, but the Dreamcast one you can get for 10-20 bucks, and man is it worth the price. But I advise you to get a light gun it's way more fun than using the pad. Sega's The House of the Dead 2 is a "must have" for any complete Dreamcast collection! " Happy Zombie Splatting! "

3888 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Read ALL of the reviews for this product. Every bad thing that has been said about it is true. Very unreliable, poorly built product. I've had mine only 4 months, it froze up on me last week, and hasn't worked since. A few other people mentioned that customer service with this company is non-existant. Well, that's true also. I'm really angry and disappointed with both this product, and the company. I mean C'mon, these things are expensive! I'll never buy anything from Interact again.
You are given the ability to mix things together, to create dangerous darts. These darts are used to kill dinosaurs *very* quickly, sometimes in a single shot. The problem here is that, on easy mode, the game is so simple that mixing darts together isn't even important. You don't have to worry about dart-mixing on easy mode *at all*. You can simply shoot or avoid all the dinosaurs you come across on easy mode and not have to worry about dart-mixing EVER. That kind of ruins the whole "survival horror" aspect of the game. You should have been required to use at least one or two of these darts.
An awesome game for the future of Castlevania Next Time we move to the future of Castlevania by going back to the Sega Genesis era with Castlevania Bloodlines.
Sure, Max looks better than Gordon Freeman, but at least HalfLife introduced different scenarios and situations from time to time.
Overall I would rate it a solid 4 stars its not a perfect platformer, but the game was made with a lot of care, the developers did a really good job. Collecting all the Gobbos is fun but some of the stages will drive you nuts.
The one thing I find challenging in Warped is the boss battle in World 3 where you're required to jump over bombs and laser beams heading in your direction. This is one case where practice doesn't necessarily make perfect. Also the second airplane stage can be a challenge if you don't bother shooting down the enemy planes.
8644 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I didn't like it the first time I played it. It felt like another stupid Tetris knock-off, with beans. 3 months later I decided I would try it again, and WOW! I didn't realize that this game was based off the Adventures of Sonic cartoons! You play against all of the bad guys in the cartoon series, and they each have some funny dialouge. The graphics were really good! The only problem was you don't play as Sonic, and the AI was a little cruel, but it's fun for 2 dollars or as part of another Sonic Genesis Collection disc.
Even so, Samurai Showdown was a good game. Give it a shot. Maybe see if a friend has it or if you still can, rent it.

AVOID AT ALL COST. Get the official Sega Jump pak instead
3220 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was good but not great. It was the very first MVC game and started the ball rolling. I had this game for the Dreamcast and played it the arcade for awhile. I thought it was pretty cool but just like XMen vs SF or Marvel vs SF., but the difference was that people could call out special assists characters. I give credit though for starting the idea of having 3 on 3 matches in MVC2.
Basically all you did was create a new non-matching-outfit-having wrestler with someone else's moves. Bad. Very bad. So bad that's why WWF Warzone never did that type of Create a Wrestler ever again. And not saying that WWF Attitude was the heart stopping game that it was supposed to be, but at least they learned their lesson and never did that type of Create a Wrestler option.
4194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As I always say, you aren't considered a true gamer until you've tried Starcraft, HL1, and Doom. This game, a decade after release, is still being played by millions of people. The community is still triving and there are still tournements.
As far as difficulty goes, this game has got it all; the first level? A baby could do it. However, there is a level near the end of the game called "Toxic Tower," in which intoxicated water floods the inside of a tower while you struggle to climb up and up and up away from it. All in all, the more worlds you master, the tougher the levels are.
261 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this has huge memory for ps2 and is great because it can save a more than a few games and save you some money
Don't be a doofus - pick up this game and make your nerd friends jealous.
2566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nintendo did a nice job of putting an old game on a kinda new system. Its the first but not the worst!
If you don't have a Nintendo 64, this game is reason enough to get it. This game helped Nintendo sell so many systems and it is a title I highly recommend getting if you can find it. It's a great game to play by yourself and an absolute blast to play with 3 of your friends. Peace. :)
Balanced weaponry, no one unit or structure rules.
- After beating the game in a certain way you open up a bonus world, which really is just an upside down version of the previous world
2. Once you beat the game, you feel satisfied with yourself. Sure, this game is a little short, but it will still take you a long time to beat it, no matter how experienced you are with gaming.
This game is one of a kind and has many good points. First of all is the gameplay. It is replayable and you can chose from any vehicle/character and take him through the end of the game and see his ending story. All of the characters are unique in an individual way and they each have their own special to terminate enemies. There are plenty of weapons to pick up and fire at opponents like the homing missile and fire missile and napalm. The levels are well designed and there are eight of them to battle through. The co-op mode makes the game especially fun but takes away the story aspect at the end. Also each vehicle makes their own sound when using there special.
9171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No issues. Works great. Reminded me of when i was a kid. Now our kids love to play it. :)
This game has nearly every facet of enjoyment that you could hope for. The most amazing thing is that you can learn something new nearly everytime you play.
under 7 years of age. But this game is the coolest of the cool!!
8. this could be a pro or con. It has lots of blood, dismemberment, and impalement. Actually it's video game blood so it isn't really grotesque.
I remember when I was younger, a friend would come over and sometimes bring Donkey Kong 64 with him and we would play until our parents would turn the game off. It was so much fun that it became my favorite game I ever played. So one day I decided to purchase it and I still would play it until my parents would turn the game off.
The Good
But i never bought mario 64, i played it and completed it though. I loved mario 64, the gameplay is awesome, the graphics are cool (for that times). The only thing i regret is that i never bought it to have it as a memento of my n64 gaming times.
2770 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I have played Myst a good bit, so I can personally atest to the complexity of this game. I will half to admit, that I used the strategy guide a great deal to help me, because some parts were just impossible. First of all, you half to be extremely knowledgeable before you even attempt to play this game. There are things that i don't even understand, and im not dumb. But the most difficult thing is tying together little pieces of the game to figure out one piece of the puzzle. I really like this game, and have yet to beat it. The music is haunting almost, and makes you feel like you are there, walking in a realistic 3D enviorment surrounded by things that you have no idea what they are, but will tie into the game as it progresses. There are also 5 completly diffrent "Ages" : Myst island, The Selentic Age, The Stoneship age, The Mechanical Age, and The Channelwood Age. This is a very complex and difficult, and i would warn anybody who play it to be ready for a good challenge.
5373 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 UNLIKE THE EARLIER MK GAMES, THIS ONE FEATURED SOME 3D GRAPHICS AND IT ALSO HAS WEAPONS WHICH ARE AVAILABLE TO USE OR THROW AT ANYTIME. THIS IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE NINTENDO 64 VERSION, BUT IT'S A GREAT FIGHTING GAME NONETHELESS AND I THINK IT'S BETTER THAN ANY OF THE MORTAL KOMBAT GAMES THAT'VE BEEN COMING OUT SINCE 1999. GREAT GRAPHICS, GREAT CONTROLS, AND A FUN PRACTICING MODE [WHICH YOU CAN FIGHT FOR HOURS IF YOU WANT TO WITH THE SAME OPPONENT!]. BUT UNFORTUNATELY AFTER THIS ONE, THE MORTAL KOMBAT FRANCHISE WENT COMPLETELY DOWNHILL.
You can even create your own character and build that character to be the best as you take on the entire NBA in 2 on 2 mayhem. You also get to answer NBA trivia (just like on TV during games). Pretty cool.
5767 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Doesn't really live up to it's hype, but it is definantly worth a buy. The story is great, just as any other Final Fantasy game. One good thing about this game is that the characters seem to be deeper and more emotion-based. The graphics are acceptable and the soundtrack is another hit. The world is beautiful and actually fun to explore. The bad side of exploring the world is that there are too many random battles, but there needs to be because leveling up on this game is difficult. The most dreadful part about this game is the battle system. Drawing magic from enemies can get very annoying and tedious. This is a good RPG and an overall wonderful game. I recommend it.
1098 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 BY FAR ONE OF BEST ZELDA GAMES OF ALL TIME. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME. WELL WORTH THE MONEY.
Metropolis Zone- 0/10: I HATE THIS ZONE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's dumb factory theme dosen't fit it's name, the musical score is out of tune, and IT IS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT, AND IF THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH SEGA MADE IT 3 ACTS INSTEAD OF 2! All of my friends agreed with me, Metropolis zone is awful.
GUUUUUR
*Note though, if going online, I'd recommend having a Cable or DSL modem. 56K is good, but High Speed internet is just so much better in my opinion! ...
This game may be loved wide-spread but in my opinion not the right choice for everyone. Thanks for reading!
4407 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I originally gave this game a four star review--it deserves FIVE! Since purchasing this, I've tried many other games and NONE compare. For it's market, this game is number one! I've owned it now for over a year and still I enjoy it. Only in books have I experienced the ability that this game has in pulling you into the subject. If you purchase this, then you'll see the mastery that the designers injected it with. Happy flights!
8561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When the Super NES was beginning its end, games sometimes are rushed out to beat the discontinuing of games and systems. Mega Man 6 was the last NES game released in America and it was not all that worthwhile of a game (although it is necessary to complete any Mega Man collection). However, for the Super NES, one of the last few games ended up being a great classic: Super Mario RPG. Combining the world of Mario with the designs of a classic RPG setting, this game is not only a great game, BUT a landmark game in the RPG genre.
I've had this game since christmas and i still devote all my free time to it- i once had a 9 hour sitting. You will play this game for ages and ages.
80 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I already have all the Zelda Collectors edition guides but I decided to purchase this as well just to add to my collection. Everything is so great in this little box I recommend it to any fan that either missed out the first time or if you're a collector since they come with specially marked numbers.
On the control side the game, it isn't really disappointing but control takes time to get used to. This is a 1st person shooter and their are controls to be learned. The top shoulder buttons (L1, R1) are for moving sideways, L2 is to crawl, R2 is to aim, L3 is to center view, X is to shoot, Square is to open up doors or take over machine guns, Triangle is to Jump, and O is to switch weapons. The lay out may sound easy but it takes some time to get used to.
1458 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First off, let me clear up some misstatements about the features listed above by amazon.com:
Of course the greatest fun is playing against other people, but the single player formats available are quite good. The Edge Master mode is somewhat RPG-like in nature and is a nice addition. My favorite mode is the team battle where your 5 take on the opponents 5.

8978 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this for my parents and they love this game. No regrets, very well worth the money I paid for this game. Even I like it.
The enemies, or rather, what little enemies you will stumble upon on your "adventure" through the temples, is probably the most aggravating part of the entire game. These dungeons are sorely in need of something to spice them up and make them pleasurable. You will often go 3 or 4 rooms at a time without seeing a single enemy. Why even have a sword? In the 2D games the idea was simple- just load or overload the rooms with a variety of enemies and, guess what? *Now* the dungeons are exciting. A genius idea really. Here? In Ocarina of Time? It's all about atmosphere. It's all about featuring as little opposing danger as possible so you can absorb what was once Nintendo's most recent creation back in 1998. But... Nintendo forgot to take into account that technology will inevitably advance and a game relying on atmosphere above everything else will eventually suffer and become inferior one day. What was once a brand new puppy in 1998 is now a tired old dog thanks to the surroundings being boring and incredibly basic in their design. Video game technology is destined to advance making a game like this completely forgettable. That's exactly what has happened with Ocarina of Time- it hasn't stood the test of time.
The weapons are superb.
There was hardly any serious problems with this game. The playtime was a very good length and it offered a some side quests to do. Each dungeon was well constructed and were not something you walk in and leave unhappy. Some parts were frustrating sure but when is a game just so easy and you feel happy beating it?
The multiplayer isn't the best but it works just ok.
5 - Perfect Dark has incredible N64 graphics, perhaps some of the best the system has ever had. Goldeneyes graphics were HORRIBLE!
There's the usual charming death animation, rest animation, and character animations from Virgin's games of this era, and the animation and graphics of this game and famous for a reason. If you want to feel like you are "playing a cartoon" there's nothing better from this time than Virgin's games, and this is one of the better ones.
That meant no more arrogant Sega promotion. I used to hate the way Sega would always promote their games by putting down Nintendo and Sony. Now I can laugh at it. Sega really thought they could trick people into buying their crappy games by constantly making fun of Nintendo and Sony. Didn't work. Nintendo and Sony fans are too smart and considerate for that immature nonsense. I bet everyone responsible for the Playstation's creation were laughing in piles of money over the "fly, play thing, fly" commercial that Sega created in an attempt to make Sony look second-rate. Ha! That ugly, gray-colored box destroyed both the Saturn and the Dreamcast, and I hope Sega fans never forget it.
There are hundred of games available for this console and most of them can be found on Amazon.com for under $10! It's a great buy for any retro/classic gamers.
2799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent. Sound story line, great graphics and challenging puzzles. Although I found I had to cheat just a little using the Universal Hint System on the Net. All in all it is well worth the purchase.
5552 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the best old PC games you are going to find. Along with Duke Nukem 3d, Quake and Doom, this was one of the games that pushed forward the shooter genere of gaming to where it is today. This is also one of the few older games that works well not only on Windows XP, but also on Vista and Windows 7 as well.
Plot: After Mega Man X and Zero took down the threat made by Dr. Doppler and Sigma, the Reploid Army known as the Repliforce is amassing it's troops to create a utopia for Reploids, X and Zero now battle the Repliforce to preserve humanity
So, anyway, I tried firing the gun - barely any recoil at all. I tried a pistol just to see if the hammer would pull back but it did not.
Characters: Tons of characters are now available (although the face mapping feature was taken our probably because of the Columbine shooting) which can be gained by defeating a Multiplayer challenge. You can also switch heads and put them on different bodies!
Unlockable: Captain Falcon
7139 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you've ever played Golden Eye 007 you'll find many similarities between the two games. They're both made by the same people. It's kinda like they took one good idea, made a few changes in names, characters, levels, gave it a different name and said, "Here's something new!" If you were a fan of Golden Eye you'll like that the controls in Perfect Dark are the same. There are a lot of the same guns but plenty of different ones. My favorite would be the orb gun that can see through walls and with good aiming skills can kill your enemy while they're all the way on the opposite side of the level from you trying to hide. I used this one a lot during multiplayer. Basically what it comes down to is if you've played Golden Eye, you'll probably like this. Almost everyone with a Nintendo 64 has played Golden Eye at some point. Most of the time get addicted to it. You might not get AS addicted to this one, but it'll keep you busy when you should be off doing something other than staring at a TV.
Sheer ease of killing other professional hitmen was a let down. I couldn't believe how easy it was to kill hired professionals.
One thing that never gets old is the fact that these poorly drawn 3D characters are unequally proportioned. Huge hands, twig arms? No mouths or noses, and yet they have huge hair? In 2007 all I can think of is to thank whoever came up with REAL 3D graphics.
Simply put, all the TR games are long and filled with adventure. Lara's cute and i like this game but it's just not gonna be what i'm looking for long-term.
Pretty good music

8697 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome Sonic the hedgehog is the best game that started a series of great games.
The characters are humorous at times. When they mess up, they are hilarious. Their expressions say it all. The makers of this game put a lot of effort into making this game interesting. Great buy.
This pad comes with a small joystick you can screw into the d-pad which is awkward and you'll never want to use. The only problem is that when you have the stick unscrewed, the center of the d-pad has a threaded metallic hole which can slightly irritate your thumb after a few hours of playing. Despite this minor flaw, while it's not the greatest controller you can buy, at this price it's an excellent value.
5124 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another multiplayer FPS, UT offers modes ranging from f-f-a blast fests to team based combat missions. This game has something for everyone, including tutorial levels for those just starting out. Excellent graphics and top-notch production value round-out this gem, but it is definitley not for the under 12 group. this game has a whopping 50 levels and 4 ways to play:Deathmatch,(my personal favorite)Assault,Domination,and Capture-the-Flag. It is backed by aweb site that hosts a bevy of online tournaments (hence the name,DUH!!)and offers patches,tips,and chat with other gamers. If you haven't played it yet I sugggest you try it and kiss that thing you used to have called a social life good-bye.
This game has a few flaws though, like falling through the floor for no reason at all. Also, the camera angles are not the way you want them to be very often and this game is too easy on all levels for almost all of the characters. Sonic Adventure is also kind of short.
if you want non-violent racing with all the nintendo characters for a good price- look no further
2252 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product, glad Nintendo decided to come out with it. Boosts RAM for the 64, which greatly improves gameplay.

3920 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this was really highly reccomended by several but was a major dissapointment=after playing world war 11 fighters I guess I got spoiled=the sound and special effects just were not there.flight control not bad=I have more than enough system requirements to handle any game out there=as I said, a really ho hum game!
1890 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, with a million reviews already, this makes it even easier for me. One of the original and best action/adventure games for the PS, you can't go wrong with Spyro (and the proceeding sequels). Owned the game a while back but my nephew somehow lost it. I completed it fully, an I'm about to play through it again, even though it's been like 8 years. Never got the sequels but I'm getting them from here now. Got 5 more PlayStation classics to go, including Spyro 2 and 3.
-Plenty of subquests.

8656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great item thanks again
Graphics: 8/10
Also, some characters are really useless. Jigglypuff? One Pokemon was enough, but this is even a crapified version of Kirby. Which takes me to number two. Kirby. I like the character an the developers had teh right idea, but hes too strong. Playing against aKirby gets really cheap...I'm sure some of you know what I mean. His brick can protect him from about anything!
I'll have to say yes to that one.
1633 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Twisted Metal two is by far the best Twisted Metal game in the series. The levels are awesome the weapons are awesome the characters are really awesome! So many memories came back to me while playing this game and it is still a very fun game to play. The controls take some getting use to since the game is over 10 years old but other then that the game has held up well over the years.
Never before have I seen so many memorable characters in a single game. Not just the main characters, but even the characters you meet throughout your quest you will always remember. Then of course there are the main characters: rambunctious Zell, lady man Irvine, bossy Quistis, and the energetic Selphie. They all play a vital role in the lives and story that unfolds with Squall Leonheart, who, for reasons unknown, is at first a stolid, unfriendly young man who sees dependency on others and self expression as weaknesses. This philosophy is probably what made him such a great warrior, but when he is thrown into a leadership role he is forced to interact with others. His comrades, with a lot of continuous effort, work to bring him out of his shell, but no one does this better than Rinoa Heartilly. Distant as always, Squall gives her the cold shoulder throughout most of the game, but despite that, she keeps trying to win his heart. Even the others do some pretty crazy things to get them together. Some people don't understand why he suddenly changes from a battle hardened warrior to a loving, caring man, but to me it makes perfect sense when you come to know his past and why he chose to live a sheltered life for so many years. I'm trying not to give away much here, but you're not going to see characters as complex as these in many video games.
Starcraft delivers it all: Terrific story, unsurpassed game play, great and often funny CG full motion video, and replayability. No two missions are alike, and range from capture, search and destroy, to all out warfare that will take hours to complete. End missions are inhumanly tough, forcing the player to really think about what units he should build and how he should use them. The game rewards success with more missions, especially considering that between the two, there are well over one hundred multi-player maps contained on the disks as well. However, as with all internet multi-player games, beware of dirty filthy stinking rotten cheaters.
Definitely a game that revolutionized console FPS shooters. A definite must have for all retro gamers and Bond fanatics alike.
There's also a track called Hidden Palace for an unreleased level of the same name in the game. Despite not being in any levels, I think this is one of the most elegant videogame tunes I've ever heard.
5159 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not speaking for my behalf, but my boyfriend's instead. He played these Metal Gear games ALL the time.
Overall:
This game also can have race issues if you want it to. If you're overly sensitive about the issue, I'd avoid this title. Barrett is the only black man in the entire universe, and he's not that complimentary a character. I don't particularly care--he was supposed to be Mr. T, and he turned out well in that regard, but if you intend to read some kind of general statement on the merit of people of a particular shade, you may as well just let this one pass by.
On a side note, what the hell is wrong with the newer Turok games? The later iterations on more modern consoles seem to have forgotten the series' roots and left out what made it fun in the first place. Turok: Evolution is the main offender. Let's hope this is remedied soon with a worthy Turok game.
The graphics are amazing and not overrated like what you see in the 360 and PS3, the controls aren't ridiculous like the Wii, (With the exception of very few special controllers for the Dreamcast), the titles for Dreamcast are so addictive, fun, and very entertaining to play! Games like; Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventures 1 and 2, Soul Calibur, NFL 2K, Seaman (Very odd game), Quake 3 Arena, Sonic Shuffle, and much, MUCH more!
1438 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great graphics, good gameplay. if you want a challenging game, get this one. its kinda hard, it'll keep you busy for a couple of weeks.
9407 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The lion king was pretty fun at first i thought it was going to be boring but it ended up to be pretty fun. Kids of all ages will like this game.
To be honest with you, I've literally played all the shooter games available on all the dominating console systems(ok, may be not all of them and I'm not being proud here), strictly 2D, and I would pick Galatic Attack as the best shooter in domestic gaming without any hesitation. What about graphically superior games like Silpheed for PS2? What about classics like Gradius 3&4? What about so called innovative Einheinder for PS? What about arguably best game for DC, Mars Matrix? Really, mark my word, Galatic Attack will just dominate them, not necessarily because it has better graphic or more innovative feature, it's will just blew away the competition because of its tight gameplay and all the thrill you will enjoy out of this shooter. Everyone has different taste on different games, but I LOVE SHOOTERS- I love shooters than any other genre and I'm proud to admit that(ok, again, not being proud here).
It's almost 2007 and people are STILL talking about the Gamecube and Playstation 2. Why? Because they are successful video game consoles. People will look back and REMEMBER them as successful consoles. No one remembers that the Dreamcast tried to compete with them at one point. People forgot the Dreamcast even EXISTED when the year 2002 came around. Sega's video game consoles immediately became dated and forgettable once companies stopped making games for them. If Sega had put less energy into putting down the competition and more energy into offering their customers *complete* and enjoyable gaming consoles, maybe they'd still be around today. As it stands, they deserved to watch Nintendo and Sony destroy them. Nintendo and Sony didn't have to stoop to dirty tactics to win over fans and the world is now a better place.
9812 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Early Castlevania games tended to be hit or miss affairs, and unfortunately this is . When I originally posted this review in 2003, I had made a concerted effort to create an honest review for the average player; I was (and still am) quite fond of the game. If I were to redo my rating scale, perhaps I'd score it slightly higher at three stars. All the same, I still feel that this game provides a low amount of fun given the intense challenge, and the rating is deserved given that overriding criteria.
4143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is as good today as it was when I first played it long ago. I have a higher end system and there is no problem running it. I think it must be the cheat codes built into the game(s). But it is still fun to play. So after a grueling day and I want to blow things up I play Ages of Empires, Rise of Rome.
Almost all the levels in this game take total advantage of Sonic's ability to perform speedy platforming. However, such obstacles such as Robitnik's robots, spikes, and bottomless pits will try to stop you from reaching the end of the level. Thankfully for you and your speedy hedgehog, you'll find powerups such as speed boots--which let you run extremely fast--invincibility--which allows you to kill enemies at the touch, and extra lives. One of the last things you can pick up in this game are rings. If you get hurt while you are holding at least one ring, all your rings will fly out of your reach. However, if you get hurt WITHOUT holding any rings, Sonic will die.
8031 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything was in good shape when it arrived. It arrived in a timely manner. It completed my set of Star Wars games for the PSONE. It went well with my set.
The transition from 2D to 3D has been much discussed in the past, and you can see why. What works great in 2D doesn't always translate so well into the 3D world. And when a series makes this sometimes awkward transition there are usually a few hiccups.
RE Code Veronica.
South Park
Overall? 4* = cuz of all of the fun, the greatness, and dot dot dot...the only reason that it was 4 not 5 is the graphics were not in 'the upper echelon of the best usage of the system' (like donkey kong country 2 and 3 but with better game but worse graphics usage).
* CONS *
4540 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I have played few games that were as funny as this one. Why? Take a bunch of game developers who hated the average controls of survival horror games, get a bunch of inept writers to scribble down a derivative plot with a nice hook and horrible dialogue, music composers who aspire to be better than John Williams, game designers who played WAY too many Super Mario games and anyone in marketing or professional game reviewing to pass the game off as a Survival Horror game and you've got a painfully hilarious game on your hands. This game doesn't do Sega any justice and don't believe the lie that this was their first Survival Horror game, they made their first two years before this on the Saturn and that game, Deep Fear, was art compared to this. I felt absolutely lied to when I played this game thinking I was in for the scare of my life when I found myself rolling on the ground after witnessing some of the silliest character models, inconsistent soundtrack, awkward dialogue, non-existent atmosphere, incomprehensible plot and obnoxious controls I've ever played on a DreamCast game. Your characters run so slow you'd think they had weights tied to their ankles, but their steps look so played out it's almost like they're waddling away from danger! You'll kill monsters who, despite being four legged monstrosities, will literally sprinkle you with gold coins! The overly dramatic music will play on and loop over and over again when nothing is happening! You want a farce? You've got nothing but farce in Blue Stinger.
Going into criminally run corporations and hacking into their terminals to steal info was thrilling. You never knew what you would get and if you would set off an alarm or be able to disable the system nodes. This game was way ahead of it's time when it was created and I can only imagine what they could creates with today's technology (PS3, XBox, PC) using the same story-line.
But even with all the guns, the sillyness of the game, and even the checkpoints...JPRE just isn't much fun to play. As I said earlier, it's fairly easy to be overwhelmed by enemies in some levels, but the game eventually just boils down to "run and shoot" or just "run". There are items you collect for points, but those points don't do anything.
8991 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wild Arms was the second American Playstation rpg. The graphics attest to this--they're pretty ugly. The battle system is nothing special, though at the time (with its guardian force system and ARMs) was quite unique.
1445 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought this game in 1997, over a year after it was released. The first few weeks i played it, i was amazed at the beautiful 3D graphics. Honestly, i had never seen 3D graphics before this game, so it was awesome and inspiring.
8351 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Works well
7128 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great DOOM game, a new look at the classic shooter with lots of new suprizes. The new set of levels are cool, the monsters are great as always with cool new looks, there are great new effects that add to the creepiness of the greatest shooting series ever such as fog. The new weapons like the double chainsaw are great, the music is very good, which always shines in doom games and over all very well done.
It was cool to watch someone pull off a huge combo string but it made MK a little less skill based than MK II.

7945 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is just an incredible game. There's no way to put it. Just brilliant!
Microsoft also offers a Pacific series counterpart, which I am hoping to get soon. Check to see if they have expansion kits. Many simulations ranging from flight to Star Wars starfighter games have them, and I believe Combat Flight Simulator is no exception.
9884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 That's right! I got this game for Christmas brand new! That was such an awsome December. I never put down this game, and still play it on my O.G. SegaNomad! I even played this game in college. This game was so freakin good! Probably the last great true Sonic game before Sega started to fall off. I reccomend this game to anyone that missed it, or anyone's that's curious about it. Of course I will warn you if your a new gamer... meaning from the Post Cartridge Era (excluding N64). This game is old school hard, and there is no magic memory card to save your hiney. When you play sonic... YOU PLAY SONIC! So if your from the newer game generation and are used to being pampered by mystical frame rates, rumbling controllers, an option to save, and online support... you my friend are better off left playing suck box.
Out of the many years that Comanche 3 and Gold have given me in faithful service and countless hours of fun, the least I could do is write up an article that would somehow convey my gratitude for this game. Comanche Gold and Comanche 4 are the two helo sims that I live for to this day.
9210 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Payne is a magnicent game to start with - everyone else here has described the realism the graphics portray and the attention to detail like bullets splintering the walls, smashed cash registers spewing notes etc. These are very nicely done, although most games of Max's ilk feature such eye candy.
7962 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This was the most boring game I've ever bought. Don't let the description of multiple games with multiple characters fool you. It's one game that you go through with various times with different characters. The valiant effort of a very non-linear storyline was marred by the fact that it was so non-linear that the stories were often left being incoherent. It's tedious going through the same mini-quests over and over. Most of the characters could have been a good choice to have their own full game.
Maybe its true that you can't improve upon perfection. The cartoony goodness of the frenetic hedgehog brings a smile to my face without fail. The way he zips along his path, snatching up rings is something straight out of a roadrunner cartoon. And on those occasions where he gets zapped by an enemy or a set of spikes, he flails his limbs, but gets right back into the fray again.
2238 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the n64 expansion pack is a must for the nintendo 64 it enhances graphics it allows you to play games that require the pack such as donky kong 64 perfect dark etc buyers beware only buy nintendo brand expansion packs 3rd party expansion packs will ruin your nintendo 64 olways buy nintendo brand
Once you get the hang of it, though, it follows quite nicely. Because you have so much freedom in navigation (you decide where to go, but things won't happen until you come back to the right place at the right time), it feels like the game is non-linear. In fact, it is rather linear, although you have a few variations. I wasn't disappointed in the ending, but not thrilled either, it didn't blow me away. We got stuck a couple of times, but we managed to make it without a walkthrough in about a week.
If you still have a Nintendo 64 or just got one, I highly recommend this game as well as the ones above. And if you have a Nintendo GameCube, I'd recommend Wave Race: Blue Storm. It's almost as fun as this game.
9471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 :)
6. There are far too many boss monsters. It's like every other encounter is a boss monster. The first part of the game (say, up until the first encounter with Revolver Ocelot) is pretty great, but that's not representative of the game: after that it's basically an unending series of boss monsters.
good classic imo.

8788 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got this for my mom. Came on time nothing wrong with it she loves it.
3444 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After replaying both RE and RE2 from my childhood days; I couldn't wait to buy RE3 since I had missed that one growing up and was dying to try it out. Well... I've had the game for a few nights (7 hours gameplay) and have already beaten it. And I gotta say it was a fun ride, but I'm kind of disappointed. I'm a huge Resident Evil fan and I've been wanting to play this game for years.
Did you like to buy equipment and little relics or accessories for your characters? Well forget all that - instead is the junction system. You take your magic spells that you have, and 'junction' them to one of your many attributes (such as attack, speed, defense etc. etc.) to improve it's rating. And the more spells of that certain spell you have - the stronger you'll become. And different spells have different effects. So this means that when you use your magic, your stats will go down. This is what I hate most about the Junction system and the main reason I hardly used magic throughout the game. Also, you can junction to elemental defense and attack to give you a special raise or drop in offense or defense when facing certain enemies. Then there is also Status attack and defense junctions, which allow you to have a defense against certain status changes, or allow you to attack with a chance to give the enemy a status change. As for weapons, you don't buy new ones, instead you find certain items that the blacksmith needs to upgrade or re-model your current weapon.
My only true complaint with this game is that it's a little short. Still, while there aren't that many main levels, the number of bonus levels and sheer tension during the completion of the main levels guarantees that you won't feel cheated. With regards to the game's technical aspects, the graphics are top notch, with nicely animated vehicles, buildings, and lots of explodsions. I also like the music, there's a certain deliberate cheesiness to it that helps alleviate some of the tension.
3. Endurance: Basically only one player mode available.

5598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 cool
Mauler: The Mauler is one of (maybe the best) pistol(s) in the game. It not only has a huge clip (20 rounds!), but it also fires quick and loads almost as fast. It's secondary mode (yes! guns have secondary modes just hold B!) is a charged up shot. You just let the ammo go down by 5 (from 20 to 15 for example) then fire, your opponent will be killed in one shot! Very convenient!
Which brings me to this game. I borrowed it from a richer friend when it first came out and I was just getting out of elementary school. The music was ground breaking, the graphics were 2d at its best and still holds up pretty well to me. The puzzles were tricky but I eventually did solve most of them. I couldn't put this game down till I was done. The level of difficulty was just right. (Take that Ocarina of Time, a game where i constantly got stuck and thought it was really difficult to get through without help of some sort. People still praise it as the great game ever but i dunno about that one...)

6342 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When I ordered my N64 it was listed as newly refurbished in excellent condition with 1 Controller and 1 Game. When I finally got home I opened the box to find a faded scratched up N64 with the original out dated jumper pack and a dirty completely worn out Controller with the Analog Stick nearly fallen off. I also got the game without the manual in Excellent condition otherwise, but it was a title nobody has ever heard of. I installed the unit to my TV and it turned on with visable shaking screen, but I was put off by the poor condition of the product and have decided not to use it in my living room. I got what I paid for, but the item was NOT in excellent condition.
Sure its not as good as USAF but that was a once in a lifetime game.

That being said, the multiplayer is a total waste of time. If the person your playing saves you the trouble of teching and attacks you early on with engineers, consider yourself lucky. Don't get caught up in a 3 hour game that is just about to be resolved, when you or your opponent loses his/her connection. And don't consider engineering a cheap way to attack, it's the only way anyone attacks...

9074 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A very good motocross game. I recomend it for anyone who likes N64 racing games.
The game has you traverse each of these stages, room-by-room, beating up the enemies, uncovering secrets and finding a goal. The goal of each level isn't always specified. While there is a small briefing before hand, most levels end once you finally get to the end and have dispatched all enemies. Some stages have actual bosses to defeat such as Two-Face or The Riddler, but they're usually just glorified henchmen. Most rooms just have you fight through thugs, each with a life gauge of their own. Once it's depleted they're dead. It's a typical beat-em up but without the usual elements that create a good beat' em up. This isn't like Final Fight or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. The levels aren't short and snappy, there is nothing pressing you forward and you're on a single plain in a side scroller. At first this is perfectly fine, but then the game begins to get really boring really fast. Once you've played the first ten minutes or so of Batman Forever, you pretty much know everything you need to know about the game. You walk into a room, beat up some bad guys and walk to the next room. There aren't a lot of variations to it or specific goals you need find. It's just you as Batman or Robin walking through a room and beating up people. There are occasionally platforming moments, but they're frustrating thanks to the strange jumping mechanic that's made for combat and not platforming.
One of the deepest fighters out there.
The controls are tight and are perfect.
9997 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have cherished this game since childhood and have been devastated all of these of years being deprived of it. I was very pleased to be able to but it off Amazon for so cheap and for it to be in great condition.
3. 3-D. This is the first Nintendo 3-D console. It's the first of it's kind so it isn't amazing. Just Noteworthy.
The music is a definite highlight of this game, considering the great Noriyuki Iwadare composed it. His town and battle themes are amazing, especially Disc 2's main battle theme (my favorite battle theme of all time). There are entertaining and sad themes too and a romantic one for all of us who want something a little heartfelt. The voice acting isn't really as bad as everyone says. Justin and Sue are pretty much right on the dot with their ages (14 and 8) while Guido's semi-Italian speech is really cute. Milda's southern girl accent is nice and burly and Rapp definitely sounds like a kid who has no manners at all.
I played it about 4 years ago. Black Isle strikes again
The PROS: Nintendo did a great job when it came to making Starfox 64. From the intro to the digitized voices of the main characters to the story and overall presentation, you feel like you are Fox sitting in the cockpit and shooting at all the enemies. The graphics are sharp for a game in 1997 while the music is catchy and moody so it's great to hear it during your gaming experience. The sound effects are on point and the digitized voices are exactly how you expect all the characters to sound like. Starfox 64's controls are perfect; every button is used and it won't take long to get used to how it works. As an added treat, plug in your Rumble Pack and you get force feedback for just about anything you do and when you take enemy fire (or run into objects.) Playing through it won't take you long but if you meet certain conditions, you can take alternate paths and visit other planets and face against alternate/different bosses altogether, thereby extending the game.
Gamers need to realize that glitzy graphics and cool sounds do not add up to a great game. I recently replayed TR and loved it. It has atmosphere (who DOESN'T remember standing way up there on top of the Sphinx's head when the camera pulls back giving you a perspective on the surroundings?). It had originality (who WASN'T surprised when a raptor came out of nowhere in the Lost Valley?). Most importantly, however, TR had great puzzles, puzzles that could be figured out through logic. You might get stumped, but if you sat there long enough and stared at the screen, the answer would eventually occur to you. And if you were truly at a loss (as I was during the Cistern), you never got angry when you found out the solution online. You never cursed at the game and yelled, "Hey, that's BS! Who would have thought of trying that?"
Original 1985: Play Super Mario Bros
3403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I cant praise this console enough. Sega went out with a bang with this one with alot of features that were ahead of their time. I still play mine whenever I feel like revisiting some classics.
- Sound: This game has the best soundtrack ever, if you ask me... Nearly every song in this game wins a 10/10 score. I really want to find a soundtrack for this game, because both the Ocarina songs and the in-game songs are awesome. Characters don't have voices, except when they scream, when they're scared and this kind of thing, so the voice acting isn't great. But the sound wins a 9/10 because of the nearly perfect soundtrack.
The graphics are phenominal, with smooth movements and amazing scenery. This game really makes you feel like you are living the adventures. The music is right out of a Bond movie, and adds a nice edge to the action. The controls, usually quite clunky on that horrible N64 controller, are easy to manage here. After a while it becomes like second nature.
I've recently discovered and fallen in love with real time strategy games and having recently begun playing Age of the Empires II and Empire Earth, I found the basic concepts similar and could figure you out in general what I was supposed to do. But I found myself struggling to understand the specifics of the game and how to best use the units to win the missions, with such incomplete information. Fortunately at battlenet.com, the official StarCraft website, I discovered extensive documentation. Still it's hardly as convenient as having a manual to refer to while playing.
8159 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is Super Nintendo's best work yet!! Mario is back and ready for action, look out Bowser!!!
9053 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ... But not for children. It is suprising that the game ever was -released- in the US, with the climate of the time being a much more restrictive and censored one. This was the era which mandated Resident Evil's introduction be chopped because the demonic dog puppets were too silly or scary.
593 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When the day I got unreal and tried it, I loved it so much I started calling up friends and telling them how incredible that
8040 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The final wrestling game to grace the SNES took a whole different path than the previous three available. This offers arcade fighting action in and out of the ring. Arcade meaning that you press forward, forward punch to perform a move. There are only six true to life superstars, Bret Hart, the Undertaker, HBK, Razor Ramon, Doink the Clown, and Lex Luger, so you may get bored with frequent matches. There are some incredible animations though, but it does get goofy though, with hit combinations, Lex Lugers arm turning into a mace and other such odd things. There is a Road to Wrestlemania mode for single players, which pits you in singles, two on one and three on one handicap matches. It can get frustrating and tedious to go through those matches. The two player mode only has a huge battle royal mode in which a tag team together tries to defeat 12 wrestlers which come in one after another.
You really can't go wrong with this game. Just don't buy it for more than $15. I bought one that worked great for $7.50. Shop around. Nice day to everyone.
Stage 5: BAD
--- When you tap an NPC, options to attack him appear right next to the talk command. I've lost count of the number of times that I have accidentally killed NPCs this way.
3185 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Old school, but great fighting.
- If any, it would be for there to be more characters. Considering when it was released, it does have a very large character line-up.
All in all, I just wish the game had more to it, because I was able to finish the game in just a few hours. I love it!
3162 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a very addictive game, with lots of fun involved. When I first saw this game, I thought it would reek, because the fighting scenes aren't great. But this game is a lot more than just fighting, it's an awesome RPG, maybe one of the best. Some of the bad language is not needed, but it's easy to look past that.
3791 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, the graphics rule. The FMAs and opening title have perfectly smooth graphics. And for those of you that thought Stardust Speedway in Sonic CD was fast, wait until you try Speed Highway with Sonic. I was able to obtain the A Emblem with a time of 2:29.23 seconds. There are six characters to choose from, three of which are new. The old three are back. That's right: Sonic (duh) Tails, and Knuckles. The other three are Amy Rose, Big the Cat, and E-102 Gamma. If any of you like fishing, play as Big. And then there are the power-ups. They focus on making the characters more powerful. And there is a hidden character, Super Sonic. This game could use Hyper Knuckles, but who cares? And Chaos is a cool boss. The new moves, characters, and permanent power-ups make this game one of the best games on Earth! Reccommended for all that exist.
The good
If you liked the Materia or MP system and hoped either one of them would return, you'll be unhappy to hear there is a new magic system, that almost nobody likes. The new 'draw' system has you sitting down drawing magic spells from your enemies, until you have a suitable amount. Yes, it does get tedious and boring, but you'll really need the magic to help your character due to the junction system. There are also draw points here and there, but they only help a little. I really hate the draw system, and I hope it's not going to be included in later Final Fantasy games.
-Even with all these problems, the gameplay is amazing. For a PSone game, this is defenetly a very good game!
3626 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 really cool old school game love tekken it still a really cool game to play its just as cool as the first one and 2nd one
9042 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a pretty cool game. it's really fun and i think people will enjoy it i did.
Obviously not learning from their first mistake Sega really dropped the ball on this so-called Rampage Edition. One of the slowest, sluggish and dullest platformers I have ever played.
8531 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nothing like reliving your childhood memories like breaking out the sega and playing all the old games you use to like this classic!
Crazy Taxi 1&2
Competitions in this mini game include:
On to the combat simulator, the best part about the game. You can customize every single thing and minor detail to you're liking. You can even create a profile where all you're multiplayer stats are saved(like kills,deaths etc). One great thing about the combat simulator is that you can add up to eight simulats(computer controlled players) which makes it even more fun.
1469 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Konami took a bold step into 3-D with this Castlevania installment for the 64. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations, which part of it is because it wasn't the same people (believe it or not) that did Symphony of the Night (PSX). Read on to see why it's a below average game:
The games plot it acctually good for a 8bit-16 bit game!
Gameplay is Final Fantasy's bread-n-butter. FFVIII features an incredibly deep and customizable system that I only now realize was far ahead of it's time. Characters don't gain the ability to use magic in the traditional level-grinding ways. Instead characters 'Draw' magic from enemies. In other words as you battle enemies you can siphon magic from the enemies own reserve. There's no limit on the amount of magic you can siphon from one enemy, however, generally speaking, the stronger the magic the less you can 'draw'. There is a lot more to the system including your character levels which directly impact the level of enemies and thus the magic they're carrying.
Some of the usually criticisms towards CRPGs is how they are all combatcentric and how they lack of real "choice" in how the game unfolds, you had to go to Darklands to find the last game that really offered you alternatives between fighting a monster, tricking him and sneaking away or talking him out of bashing your skull.
3 Rocket Launcher
I recommend this game.
The weapons in this game are realistically cool. I like pulling out the magnum and shooting zombies in the head and watching their heads blow to pieces. Don't try this at home, but do try this on your Playstation. The magnum doesn't make much noise so you wouldn't think it'd be such a bad-ass weapon, but you can shoot at the head of a zombie and watch his head quietly blow to smithereens. You know you shouldn't do that in real life though, right? You'd go to jail for a very long time. And if you tried to explain to the police that you were shooting at zombies, you'd only get laughed at by the entire court room. Use your head.
4066 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very good game. I used to play this game for hours on end. It's a lot of fun. The best part about it is that you don't need to have a supercomputer to play it. For those of you who's computers can't handle RCT 3, buy this game. Do Not get RCT 2, it's not worth the money to buy a slightly worse carbon copy of a great game.
8472 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great product!
This game still has soul.
Again, though, I should stress that these problems aren't going to be too big if you don't want them to be. These are things that you can ignore very easily while you play through the game. The gameplay itself ranks among the best balanced ever, with random monster encounters (a BAD idea, but one that every game without Grandia or Chrono in the title seems to stick with) well tailored to the characters' levels and the game remaining appealing and challenging throughout. This one will appeal to just about anybody, and it should be in any RPG fan's library.
Riven picks up exactly where the Myst left off. You are in the chanber with Atrius and he sends you to Riven to try and trap his father and rescue his wife and the people of the land. Unfortunately the moment you arrive in Riven you have your trap book taken from you and embark on an island hopping trip to try and recover it and confront Gehn once and for all.
Extras Disc: I watched it and enjoyed the voice actors and developers talking about how much fun they had making the game and what they did to add what they thought would help the game out.
2966 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 That's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you were to only have 3 final fantasies get those 10, 7 and 6 (aka 3) also 5 was pretty fun
3764 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When it came out, this game was HUGELY anticipated. After all, the Sonic the Hedgehog series is one of the most popular in videogame history. Was it worth the wait? Was it worth the hype? Is it worth picking up even now?
3344 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I simply find the game ordinary and boring. I really love the TV-show and was very much looking forward to the game.
A lot happens during the course of the story, not unlike the drastic changes that would take place during a war. Yet the story never stretches itself thin. It keeps you interested in every step up to the final confrontation. The game also takes advantage of genius war tactics, that were used in actual campaigns in history, as part of the story.
One of the best games for the ps1!
9318 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very recently, I found this game in my brother's room. It has not been played in over 10yrs, but it's in good shape
For classic PC gamers I'd recommend Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business. This is the original game plus two bonus missions with two new levels a piece.
4978 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though dated, the game still packs a punch.
Game play: :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
4126 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So happy that I found a physical copy of this game. I'm playing on Windows 7 and it works perfectly with a few tweaks. First time I started the game the right and left sides had about a half an nice cut off making it hard to impossible to read and use some of the building buttons. This was fixed by closing the game and setting my desktops resolution to 800X600 and relaunching the game. After that the margins were perfect and had no issues playing.
6556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I begin, I am big fan of the franchise.
For it's time, these graphics are extremely crisp. All characters look really good on the N64. The only problem with the graphics is the cut-scenes are grainy due to being compressed so much to fit on the N64. They put a lot of work into making sure the rest of the game looked good though and it does.
Overall: I found War Zone boring then and I find it boring now. In my opinion In Your House is more fun to play than this. Even the sequel game to War Zone, Attitude, is more fun to play than War Zone. So if you don't want to be bored, skip War Zone and buy In Your House or Attitude instead
4769 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is quite simply the best game for the Playstation and certainly one of the best games of all time. It has all the things that make a game great: challenging battles, crisp graphics, hidden secrets, an enchantingly spooky score, and an exciting background story.
4553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great.
Endless hours of smashing your friends, this game never gets old!
Donkey Kong always keeps his cool. The coolest of all the members
4038 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is plain and simply the best game I have ever player or ever expect to play. Sure some games have better graphics, some have more action, but nothing except Half-Life (including its mildly dissapointing sequels) has ever so brilliantly encompassed a great story, great gameplay, great characters, and great strategy.
All in all, this will go down as arguably the greatest survival horror title of all time, so my advice to you is to grab a copy. You can get it off of Amazon or any other online retailer as it can be very difficult to find in stores unless you want to spend 40 bucks on the GC version.
- You have massive amounts of ammo for each gun already in the storage crate. (And I'm talking MASSIVE) For example: 250 Handgun rounds, 76 Shotgun shells, and 2 100% AR clips.
4499 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember way back when the Playstation first came out, a friend of mine only had a demo of this game because the actual game wasn't going to come out for a few months. The demo featured one ship on the first track for one lap, and you had to wait for it to load every time. I must have played it a million times. I actually got to the point where I could get in third place on the first lap.
1533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the game that got me through medical school. I still play from time to time and definately when old friends get together. The physics is fantastic. The strategy is to maximize your inertia. Turbo on long straightaways. Turn as little as possible. Of course you do have to turn quite a bit. Once you have won the season you get to do stunt races, where certain stunts recharge your boost. After mastering the game it is still fun to try and race for times (whole course under 30 min is good) or race against a friend. The sequal JM # 3 is also great, JM #2 I was never crzy about but it looks cool for ps1 graphics.
Rage meter definitly helps
It's a very simple story, but its an action/adventure game. The game also throws in some RPG elements. Unlike the past Castlevania games, you're character now levels up and can equip weapons and armor. Alucard also doesn't use the trademark whip like the Belmont's used to. You actually use a Sword in one hand and you can even have a different weapon in another. The game also presents a Super Metroid style map that you will use as you explore the castle looking for bosses to defeat and finding all of your abilities to take on Dracula.
The items are what really make multiplayer fun, though. I've had many a time where I have something such as a ghost (which lets you steal and item and makes you invisible/invincible) while my friend had a lightning bolt (shrinks all opponents) and it's a quick reaction race to see who can get their item deployed first. To me, however, there is nothing more satisfying than hitting your opponent (especially if it's a friend instead of the computer) with a green shell (a shell that fires straight out, as opposed to the red homing shells) as he's about to cross the finish line to win, not just the race, but the circuit as well. And, yes, I actually did that to a friend of mine. Talk about bragging rights.
2236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works for what it was designed for, and I also like that it is over sized and serves as a lid. Although some people wouldn't like this feature, i know often times the lid is missing and people should know that this Jump Pack will help it look more normal. There's nothing wrong with a Red Lid, people know what its for.
6274 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The people at Black Isle made this for people that want a lot of character developement and story in their RPG's. Well, they succeeded with flying colors. You wake up on a mortuary table with no memories. As the game progresses, you explore Sigil (the city that joins the planes together)and recover your memories and realize that you have some sort of curse of immortality. On your journey to stop the cycle of dying and coming back, you meet a large assortment of very interesting NPC's that will aid you on your quest. All of which have pretty deep, well fleshed out personalities and sometimes keep the player entertained with amusing banter with one another. The game also has a lot of replay value since your choices during conversation and actions you take when interacting with people you meet impact the future choices you'll have. If you're mean, you'll get a reputation and it will precede you. The way you assign your scores also makes a big impact. The higher your wisdom, intelegence and charisma, the more dialogue you will have to choose from. A higher wisdome and intelegence also grants you speedier recovery of your memories. So, playing through as a strong fighter will be very different than playing through as a highly intelegent wizard or a smooth-talking rogue. Ultimately, probably the best RPG I've ever played.
Timeless game play.
And yes, the game IS intended for mature audiences. And mature, as always, means having the sort of "maturity" where you smirk everytime you take some poor animated saps leg off at the hip. In otherwords, it's a game for the demented teenager that resides in (at least some of) us.
399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I already own this game but it's in terrible condition. This is due to me lending it out, which is something I certainly don't do anymore. My favorite Megaman game period, along with 2, I had to get it again. And I have no regrets. Besides, I have 2 copies of the game now: One with only case and disc that have seen their better days and a newer complete copy that reminds me of my original copy in its prime.
This is much better than Sonic Adventure 2. The graphics on the second are not quite as astonishing, and the storyline is a little weaker.
Sound B
There's a distinct childish tone to the entire game as well, such as whenever you have to pop colored balloons to release items (which is often- hundreds of times in fact). Bananas and balloons are colored in such a way that only specific Kongs can grab them. It just seems like a really silly concept to make the game in such a way but of course, that's how Nintendo is milking Donkey Kong 64 for all its worth. Padding is the key word to describe this game. If I haven't mentioned it yet, you can choose between Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong with her Dixie-like hair twirling characteristics, the clumsy, heavyset, slow-moving Chunky Kong and the arm-slapping (arm-walking!) Lanky Kong. I admire how each Kong has their own personality.
* All units can be upgraded for a fee.. this is more realistic than the "throwaways" or needing "Leo's Workshop" wonder.
The Neutral: secrets and unlocks such as costumes, difficulty is up and down, low health and ammo pickups, cam angles vary
7556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. Brings me back to my childhood, although the graphics are dated, it is still fun to play!
800 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best game for the N64. if you are to have 5 games for the system it needs to be Mario 64, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Banjo Kazooie, and Zelda
7151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even If it didn't come in looking like the photo up top. It's still a Sony brand item. Doesn't feel cheap and has plenty of cable length for me.
The game's graphics, first of all, are impossibly real. Everything looks almost like a photograph, from the stone cliffs, to the iron railings on the stairs, to the various transportation rides around the age of Riven.
a closer look. Completing this game will become your life.
1596 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a true masterpiece buy it another true ps1 classic
544 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Snowboarding games are a dime a dozen these days, so it's nice when a good one comes along. Although it's rare to see a snowboarding game play out like Mario Kart, it makes for a really fun game. You play as one of 6 grade school children, collect items and weapons, knock off enemies with these items and weapons, do tricks, and get money while trying to win the race. Even though the childish characters may intimidate many who see this game, this still is a great game. The game looks pretty nice for N64 standards, the controls are tight, the sounds are good and the music is very catchy. This game also uses great ideas, such as saving money to upgrade your snowboard or playing on really wacky (but really enjoyable) courses. In fact, some of the courses have no snow on them! But that's the fun of this game: getting to snowboard down unimaginable terrain, while at the same time, hitting your opponents with pie-pans, bombs, rocks and other items. It releases some kind of childhood glee deep in your brain that I just can't explain. But it's not all fun and games though. There are some problems. First, is the game's image. Many are really going to be turned off by the childish nature of this game, though I liked it so much, I didn't care. The biggest problem is that you need a Conroller Pak to save your data. The real gripes here is that there is no battery backed memory option along with the Controller Pak use and since the game requires 121 of the 123 pages in the Controller Pak, you'll need to spend more money getting more Controller Paks if you have other games that require it also (Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Rugrats In Paris) or games where you want to save data for safe keeping (Wave Race 64, Perfect Dark). But even with these issues, the game is still really fun and worth playing. If you like it and still want more, try its sequel, Snowboard Kids 2. But try the original first to see if you like the style of play. I'll bet dollars to donuts that you'll enjoy it, though. Great Job, Atlus.
Although it's a small complaint, I must mention the graphics. The cutscenes are amazing and far better than FF VII's, but everything else is awful. The blocky, toon-like models of FF VII have been tossed out, replaced by characters that try to shove in the detail of real humans in tiny little models. The result? Stiffly animated, bland graphics.
Frustrating angles
Worst. Gun. Ever.
- Nemesis is way too strong and can kill you in one or two hits.
Make sure to choose the Sega Dreamcast as your system of choice this Christmas. You will not be dissapointed.
3549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The dreamcast was without a doubt a great console. But, like all great things (such as the nintendo 64) It died out. I really think that they should have made a lot more games for it, but i was already satisfied with the games that were out. Any body who likes resident evil would have to agree that Resident Evil 2 and Code veronica were great games. Powerstone was pretty fun to, along with Sonic's Adventure. I would recommend this system to anyone that doesn't mind playing older games.
8973 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Decent game. Make sure u have a good partner or the game will be difficult lol my gf sucks at it I'm the only one beating the levels lol.
but is not Kilrathi born, shall rain
9875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game, incredible smooth, action packed and fast! A must own for Sega collectors and sonic fans alike. Music is also some of the best in the series.
8611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works fine. Very fast shipping.
2515 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario bros is what made Nintendo what it is today now after all the levels you had to do in the original you just couldn't finish the game well now super Mario delxue saves off from where you started last i mean fans have been dreaming for this game and plus i got mine cheaper than the classic NES game so get this game it's something new but you'll get used to it.
8554 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good
1361 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Enjoying playing this game with no complaints. Met my expectations and would do business again with this seller again.
It's actually really fun to play, because some of the tiles and textures are different, and you get the base designs of all the first 150 Pokemon. (Some are crazy ugly...its hilarious!) Some music also changed, and Cerulean cave has a more complex layout than in the "remakes."
429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is alot of fun you can somewhat customize your characters and tinker with thier stats and magic/skills the game is pretty long for 1 disk game but it also had a couple puzzles that makes you want to throw your remote at the tv lol all in all its all worth the hassle.
when you first start the game... there will be all sorts of paths for you too follow... but apparently the archtect of castlevania is a sick joker, cuz even with your supernatural powers, you just can't seem too reach these paths. But alter in the game... after alot of adventuring, fighting, and finding all sorts of goodies, you will either find what you need too reach that unreachable platform, or wind up on the other side of it through you journeys. and rest assured it's a fun trip.
708 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A good first person shooter. It really set the bar for Call of Duty and Metal of Honour. Lots of levels and weapons. Good, challenging enemies and fun cheats. I only rated it 4 stars because to me, a 5 star game has to be flawless. But, overall a great game.
In its latest issue, my favourite gaming magazine here in Australia listed Planescape: Torment as the second best game ever, beaten only by Deus Ex. For me, even though it's like comparing apples and oranges, it's a dead heat for first place - Fallout 2 and Planescape: Torment (but then, I haven't played Deus Ex!)
I hope I didn't spoil anything for people who haven't bought the game. Would I recommend it? Definitely! I'm not going to sit here and say that this is the best game in existence or compare it to games like StarCraft and Command & Conquer, but I will state that this game is a whole lot of fun. Star Trek fans will love it just as I did. My advice is to save your games every 5-10 minutes...just in case.
8719 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 What captures right away the eye are the wonderful landscapes: colors, grass, sea, the sun that moves through the horizon with all its spectacular effects.
4 buttons (A, B, Start, Select)
The scale of the game is such that each train moves about 1/50th-1/100th of its actual speed. In other words, a trip that should take a week takes a year. This is probably a necessary abstraction(train-model fans will want to keep in mind that this game has NOTHING to do with their hobby) but it has the effect of exaggerating every mistake or mishap. Jesse James didn't just rob a single train, he robbed your entire route for the year.
7839 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got exactly what I paid for. Good quality case and game disc.
1989 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is no save feature, but the whole campaign takes a hour at most. Just sick with some friends and "Do a barrel roll Skippy"
4365 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 {YAWN} Very boring disapointing game. Terrible gameplay, graphics, bla bla bla. The cinematics run at an extremely slow frame rate. At least the music is kinda good. I don't recommend this for any god damn gamer. =[...
8488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got the game in perfect condition, no case or anything but can't complain when the game is the real reason why you want it in the first place. Don't hesistant to get this because it is a really good game.
7495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yoshi's Story is one of my favorite games on the N64. It has a lot of replayability, great level design and large, open environments.
The sound and graphics are in top Super Nintendo form. The music is solid. As for story.., some people remember reading books ln school like , Lord of the Flies, Tom Sawyer, Clockwork Orange, or whatever. I remember playing this game. For just an unasuming SNES game, there was a lot of stuff going on here. If you see this used for like 20 bucks and you enjoy playing SNES, pick this up. Just remember to get one with the manual. Its a full players guide on how to get every red gem.
Sewers of Imperial City: 10/10 - Fun, but is hard as hell on Jedi. You fight huge spider-like creatures called dianogas here.
Harris eugene Blake
9018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. I remember playing it when I was younger, and recently went to play through it again with my wife (who had never played it). It is still as fun now, as it was then. While the graphics are far behind, and it's very pixelated when stretched on my 52" TV, the content is still fun and exciting. It brought back a lot of memories for me. I have caught my wife even playing it without me. No amount of graphics makes up for the quality content found in classic games like this.
157 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It looks interesting at the beginning but I was bored after less than 25 hours of play. Not enough variety in the missions.
8203 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First X game to hit a 32 bit console, and yes they did a DAMN good job
7570 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has to be in the top ten list of games I've ever played, and I'm really not even a fan of 1st-person shooters. This game has a perfect combination of strategy and action, and the expanded choice of weaponry and equipment from the R6 is a welcome addition.
7099 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Donkey Kong 64 is exactly that- an okay game. It's nothing compared to the Donkey Kong Country series because of several problems. Granted the final 30% of the game is an improvement admittedly. It's sort of baffling to me that Nintendo would get rid of a successful winning formula (straightforward 2D-style platforming, staggering enemy variety and several dangerous encounters with them) in exchange for an incomplete open world exploration adventure. That in itself is just a slight problem however. I could live and possibly even love an open 3D adventure if it had been executed properly. Sadly this game is just all over the place and never settles into a permanent entertaining groove.
The music is outstanding. Koji Kondo, also famous for the Ocarina of Time music, did all the music for Mario 64 and succeeded in composing very memorable and enjoyable tunes. My personal favorite is and will always be the Jolly Rodger Bay / Dire Dire Docks music.
6961 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Bloody and brutal.
This music rocks I especially like the final battle theme Go! Go! Go!
1) It's a cartoon- I've always preferred cartoony, anime-style characters to realistic characters. The appearance of the people lightens some of the darker parts of the story.
Despite lackluster multiplayer performance, this game still has what it takes to be a classic.
Soon you will decrease the Hype to speed up the opposition as you learn how to drive.
I remember playing VF Part 2 that came with my system. along with Virtua Cop 1 and 2. And Daytona Usa.
- There is also a version of this game for P.C.
Overall, this game is truly amazing and it's also one of the Game Boy's best.
177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This thing is so inexpensive and makes the controller much more comfortable to hold for hours on end. Item is very well manufactured and fits like a glove. It also helps your hands breathe a little bit if you have sweaty hands. For less than the cost of a gallon of gas You can't not afford to get this thing! Better grip, looks sharp, and is thin enough that it does not make the controller more bulky in anyway.
The whole thing is fantastic! I really liked the original Power Rangers. So this game is made for me. If you like the Power Rangers, then pick it up. It's best played with a friend or a little brother who also likes Power Rangers.
Although the Neo Geo Pocket Color didn't sell as well as Nintendo's Game Boy Color in America, that is not to say that it didn't deserve more credit than it was given. The NGPC arguably has the best fighting game titles of any handheld console. Games such as SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Milennium, King of Fighters R-2, Samurai Showdown 2, and Fatal Fury: First Contact are part of what the NGPC is still best known for. The built-in thumbstick also gives fighting game fans the option of straying from the traditional directional pad on a handheld console and allows for a much better way of playing the quarter-circle oriented games. Aside from the SNK fighting game titles, the NGPC hosted a slew of wonderful (and very addictive) puzzle games, including Bust-A-Move, Puzzle Link, and Magical Drop.
3654 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh is this game good or what? It is only the best fighting game ever made! Even better then the PS2 tekkens (tekken tag and tekken 4). The graphics are good and the movies are great. The sound is good also. I love the characters and the stages. The best thing about it is that the graphics arnt as slow as 2 and 3. Besides that, the fighting style to every character is great. If this is what all fighting games are like, I want them all!
3467 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Resident Evil 3 (1999). Capcom's third installment of their famous survival horror series.
If you liked this game then check out all of the other star wars games.
5012 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is THE scariest game I have ever played. It has demon dogs, birds, and so on. You find your self running around Silent Hill a lot. Just like in a couple Resident Evil games. The music makes the setting scarier. So does the fact that %80 of the game is set in the dark, and you have a small flash light that only extends 5 feet in-front of Harry. The game is not really fun, but if you like scary puzzle games, and demon dogs, this is a game for you! My advice: Don't play this in the dark! : )
But after Cloud meets an old "friend" from long ago, the story quickly takes an unexpected twist...
7636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all I heard the pointless review from the irate gamer (AVGN copycat) on you tube and I thought he was just plain pathetic at trolling this game with his boring humor.
811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can be said about Ocarina of Time? I still remember that commercial from the late 90s. It told us that a "dark time is approaching." My interest was piqued. Then I realized it was a Zelda game. As a huge fan of A Link to the Past, I thought "ZOMG that looks awesome! I need to get this more than I've ever needed to get anything!" I remember reading about it in GamePro and obviously being interested, but that commercial sealed the deal. I knew I had to have Ocarina of Time, and that Christmas, my mom got it for me. Cheers!
1012 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This could be the best game of all time. What else needs to be said? If you haven't played this game before and still have a working N64 you need to pickup this game. If you haven't played the game you can also find it on the Wii Virtual Console and an upcoming remake for 3DS.
1525 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is truly a funny game. It captures the feel of South Park with it's cartoony style. The weapons are funny like snowballs (2nd fire- yellow snowballs) to plungers. The voices from the show are funny. I recomend this game to any South Park fan out there.
Grenade Launcher
4113 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A must have for any starcraft fan.
Imagine a game of chess with a twist. Instead of all 16 pieces, you flip a coin to see if you get any particular piece--heads you get the piece, tails you don't. Sound interesting? Now imagine that you don't get your king. Now what? That's what the game is like. Actually, it's worse. Imagine that you are told what the pieces do in a book 170 pages long, but that you can't really see them do anything. You can't even see the board. You have to provide 100 detailed instructions about how to move each piece and the instructions don't make any sense. For instance, I had a mineral mine that could go through space, but I couldn't make spaceships. You don't know why you lost.
I think Toad is my favorite, when he gets hit LOL. The noise he (it?) makes is hilarious.
Fun to use, I do not understand why or how people break the z button.
1273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this game from Gamer Girls and it arrived on time and in the condition described. The game worked well on the first try and was clean. This is one of my favorite games of the Mario series so I was ecstatic to be able to play this again. Thank you so much!
3595 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got my Dreamcast last Christmas and I like it alot. It's a great system! But there are two big problems: The controls for it are very awkward, and they stopped production! No more games! They really could have done something with this system, but once again, Sega made a booboo.
The game was bright and colorful, and Mario was fully 3D. A large crowd had gathered around to catch a glimpse of the latest in video game technology, and I only lingered for a moment, yet my first impression is still fresh in my memory. Mario 64 looked like nothing I had ever seen before, and also looked leaps and bounds better than anything I had ever seen on Playstation, Sega Saturn or any other system. I was very impressed.
In short, this is a game player's game. Once you've been wowed by all the things your computer can do, once you've seen all the pretty new games, once you've shot down your first million starships, THIS is the game you settle into for the long haul.
thus the sound of the game was reduced to those fuzzy and outdated internal pc speaker noises as sound.
4585 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You bet you do! You sweat buckets if it's 1944 and you're in a B-17G Flying Fortress over Germany on a bombing run to your target. 'Bomb doors open, steady, steady...bombs away'. Two things come to mind. (1) This doesn't sound like a typical flight simulator, and (2) flying straight and steady at 30,000 feet doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Right on the first but dead wrong on the second. This game is different from all other WWII flight sims to date, which have largely focused on man on man fighter combat. This is a multiple position role playing game whose primary platform is the B-17G (the only disappointment is that there is no multiplayer capability). There are 10 playable positions in the 'fort' including pilots, navigator, bombardier, turret gunners, waist gunners and tail gunner. The role playing element is so much fun and immersive, you may very well find that this is the only 'flight sim' where you spend the least time flying. Let's step back into this immersive game world for a minute to see how we arrived over our target in Berlin.
The single player campaign is OK but it is not that rigid. It will allow you to make bad command decisions and still finish the missions. I spend alot of time playing with the Quick Battle simulator. This is where you can command any ship, pick your opponents and choose your battle environment which is really alot of fun. I enjoy luring Klingon warships into a planetary ring to watch them bounce off of the ring's ice boulders while trying to attack my starship!
The history and success of the series leaves little to be disputed; but how can you be certain that these games are for you? After all, despite their masterpiece qualities; they are, after all, designed to entertain fans of a certain Genre. So the question is in fact not whether these are great games; but are they great games for you. There are some simple questions you can ask yourself to find out.
4127 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 enjoyed it
6551 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Seeing as I had FFI-III on handhelds and FFVII-FFX on playstation 1 and 2. I was looking to flesh out the rest of them.
There are design faults here that should be pointed out. The 'slide-show' effect when moving probably does allow sufficient computer memory for photo-realism while standing still, but it compromises the realism that the producers were otherwise attempting. Besides that, it's simply annoying. Some have said that it adds a certain elegance to movement throughout the game, but I don't like seeing my surroundings 'melt' away as I move through them. Nor do I like sterile, empty environments. Oh sure, it all adds to the 'creepy' vibe the producers were hoping for, but a universe which is largely uninhabited is mighty boring after a few hours. I wanted wayyyyy more interaction with people than I got here.
Before Dr. Light passed on, he made a new kind of robot that can think and make decisions on its own. But he felt the world wasn't ready to witness this breakthrough so he sealed it away in a capsule. Many years later, another scientist uncovered and released the robot. After being blown away from what it can do, he tried to duplicate the technology on a group of robots he made and they turned against him. The new robot, Mega Man X, must now defeat these robots and their leader, Sigma before they take over the world.
3894 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Dreamcast controller is similar to the XBOX controller, the only difference is XBOX has more buttons. The triggers are pretty much the same, the analog stick is above the d-pad, so if you added Select, Black, and White buttons, and another analog stick, it'd be exactly the same as XBOX. However, the lack of these in Dreamcast's severely limits gaming possibilities. For most PS2 games, the right analog stick allows players to rotate the camera around their character. Without that, if camera controls are needed in a dreamcast game the L and R triggers normally are assigned for that. This limits the options for useable buttons. Also, that right analog stick is sorely missed in first person shooter games, which are rare on the Dreamcast to begin with. The games that are available invariably use the A, B, X, Y buttons for directional movement, and the analog stick for aiming. So, when compared to Halo, which makes use of those buttons on the xbox controller for reload, jump, switching weapons, and melee attacks, they are incredibly hampered by this.
6642 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I have to admit that I never was a victim of the "Tomb Raider Hype Machine". I liked the idea of a 3rd person perspective game where your character can do alot of tricks but the whole idea of the big-boobed Lara Croft just turned me off. I bought this for 4 bucks at the used software house and played it for about 2 hours. I liked the save game feature somewhat, it should be more specific. I felt like banging my head against a wall after be killed for the 50th time because I didn't hit the "jump" button in the right sequence with the "run" button at the correct prescribed time. The interface is just too rigid for a game like this, it reminded me alot of that old "Dragon's Lair" game. And I got real tired of the stupid puzzles. I think the real reason for TR being so popular is that its the first non-adult game with a overly-endowed female protagonist. It can't be because of the gameplay.
The graphics for that time was amazing and so will the upcoming HALF LIFE 2 BABY! nuff said
I can't list all the great features of this game here because of space. But this is the most addictive game that I have ever played. Star Wars fans will not be disappointed. Strategy fans will not be either. It will not appeal to everyone though, so if you really detest strat games, don't buy it because it won't be your cup o' tea. But despite the steep learning curve, you'll be enjoying it for months on end.
- The Genesis version has more sound effects than the Super NES version. I especially like when you touch a Continue point and a sneaky voice says "Oooooh yeah!" Plus when you touch ammo it actually says "ammo!" The snowman boss in What the Heck?" burps orange snowballs at you, lol. The only phrase you hear in the Super NES version is "Yippee!" The Genesis version clearly focuses on whacky sound effects all over the place whereas the Super NES version feels restrained in this aspect.
6991 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Mechwarrior series of games is on of the best on PC. This translation to Playstation does a pretty good job. The graphics are decent and the sound is phenomenal with a great soundtrack that really gets the blood pumping. The two different ways you can go through the game are fun, and the difficulty levels add a lot of challenge. It would have been nice to have a two player, head-to-head option.
9232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember the first time I played Primal Rage it came off as a clone of Mortal Kombat since that was the grand dadddy of all fighting games at the time and huge. You play as a group of dinosaurs that are about to get wiped off the face of the earth by a metor that is about to hit planet earth ending all life you know. You battle it out as either Blizard/Chaos(Ape), Diablo/Sauron(T-rex), Vertigo(serpant snake vodoo lizard), Armadon(spinosarus), or Talon(raptor). Each dinosaru has special moves and finishing moves like Mortal Kombat where they can perform Fatalities on your opponents. Its a fun game that lets you chose your animal and take out your anger on other animals.
There are only a few extra rooms - you'd have hoped for much more from a sequel that took this long to make. The casino is neat, if only because a jackpot-winning minion starts dancing and singing when he wins. (Disco Inferno!)
Equally cool is that Superman flies in this game...I like it when he flies. Every time I pop in this cartridge, I'm even more eager to watch the Christopher Reeve movies...all 4 of them.
The game plays just like number 1, if you are query me about number 1 because you don't want to play it, shame on you. You should go find suikoden 1 somewhere and play that first, otherwise forget reading this review. Ok so you can meet up with alot of new characters, old ones, and there are new minigames. The castle is large, but easy to get around. It gets better and better as you get more guys and progress more. I loved the army chef battles, a parody off the iron chef show. The fighting was tremendously fun. With great runes that tell damage and healing factor, and great sprite animations.
While getting to play as more Kongs is nice and a very constant feature you'll be doing if you aim to 100% the game, there's simply too much switching from one Kong to the next throughout the game (by way of jumping inside Kong barrels which are located everywhere) just to clear out areas and obtain all the key items. I admit often times while inside caves and reaching higher areas experimenting with the Kong's can provide some intense excitement such as figuring out the right Kong for the situation at hand. Other times platform jumping can be tedious too such as whenever you fall and have to climb back up all over again (which is often).
9822 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 There are 5 levels in this game. On my first try I beat 4 levels. It is easy and short! You also can't save the game. If your, let's say, on level 4 and you lose all your lives. Then you have to start at the begining again. ( Kind of like Mario. ) This is the really bad thing. If you turn off your gameboy and turn it on again, you start at level 1 again. It is not fun to keep playing the same levels over and over. I would say this is for little kids that do not get frustiated easly. ( If there is any little kids like that. ) I say pass this up, Kirby fans, and try another game.
1272 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've never sat down to actually play Super Mario 64. I started to play it,and its different than other Mario games,and its fun.
I didn't buy the sequel, Eternal Blue, which comes with more extra and whole box for the game looks great, however, I wasn't inspired enough to purchase Eternal Blue because it wasn't just there to hook me, wasn't just there...
well I guess I should point out that this is a pretty short game. The first time through for me(since I looked around alot)will be maybe 8-10 hours second time through should take 5 hours or less. But that doesn't ruin the game at all
9041 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's fun for like the first hour and a half but it gets really boring. Get a friend to play Co-op with you.
If you have good PCs with great graphic card, you may want to try Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 with 3D graphics with better gameplay, graphics, and sounds.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Also of note is the fact that this controller works only with games written to use Apple's "InputSprockets". That's true of most late 90's / early 2000's games, but not of some earlier titles ("Descent", which used to be bundled with Mac Performas, comes to mind), and it's not clear if Sprockets will be supported in the upcoming Mac OS X.
The games has amazing graphics, great sound, lots of awesome gameplay and is one of my favorite video game series. Not only that it may possibly be the best in the series if not then It's 3.
Gameplay: 10/10
A great thing about the Game Boy is that a lot of the games for N64 and other consoles can be found for this. This is a good thing for some people that do not want to buy an exspensive console. The controls for the Game Boy are also very easy. Just look at the guide for your game and you will see that their are very little manuavers and they will be easy to use.
Then, they return to their computers, the smack talking resumes, and it all begins again. It's just hilarious. And let me tell you, they get rowdy. Especially while they play with headphones on since it's late and they don't want to infringe on the other players.
5176 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game arrived quickly, and works well. Being new to console gaming, I really did not know what I was missing. The game is very challenging and is right on time.
a bit. Jill will need to kill solve and trust her way into escaping raccon city. I baught the game also on gamecube wich had no difference with this versian except that gc had a tad bit sharper graphics but that was because it was an import form the dreamcast versian so theres really no versian. I recommend any versian for this game cause there all good and theres no
And then there are the tedious aspects that everybody remembers in Donkey Kong 64. With five playable characters, Rare seemed to want them to work as a team, but sometimes that may be a bit of a bother. No, it is actually more of a big bother. Let's suppose there is a switch that Donkey must open. We can assume that the things behind that door are for Donkey Kong, but nope. Rare just made a Donkey out of us. It's for Diddy and Tiny! And then there are times when you are walking along collecting green bananas for Chunky but all of a sudden, the bananas change to blue! So then your only choice is to find a Switch Barrel and change to Lanky. It gets a bit tedious. And then there are the backtracking. You have to unlock certain characters in the beginning, and they are not all in the first level. So you must then go back and get their respective Golden Bananas in previous levels. Meh. All of this constant switching really takes away the fun out of the game, especially if you're playing it through for the fourth time. It's still worth it to play through the entire game at least once, although certain frustrating moments would make it acceptable to avoid the 101%.
5604 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No game on this planet can beat final fantasy VII
6185 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this console, a little too much. Have to wipe it down fairly regularly.
6471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 EA has finally made a action/adventure game worth playing for the PS.In this game you will come across many different types of enemy soldiers through its 7 missions and 24 levals. There will be Wehrmacht light infantry, Gestopo police, snipers, and much more. The missions are well done and provide a felling that your watching a old WW2 film. The missions range from sobotageing a deadly U-boat to destroying a rail gun. The missions never get boreing and always are challengeing. The graphics are the best your going to get on the PS and the replay valu is much greater than that of the 007 games and most other shoot 'em up games.
I have always had a love for things Egyptian, but this game is downright addictive! The MP3 music on the game is evocative of the era. Im very pleased that the makers of this game made sure to do their research AND if you turn to page 79 of the game's manual you will see a picture on the sail of the boat that they borrowed from a piece of original artwork by a very good artist friend of mine that they lifted from my site.
1659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just a word: wonderful. It's the first game to earn my complete attention. Play it in a dark room, and you'll find yourself keeping your breath, listening to your heartbeat while you wait the right moment to attack. When, for the first time, I succeeded in killing the evil merchant, I felt Ki flowing inside me like a waterfall.

2730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks, it was exactly like the picture and seller said.
7060 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 from 1 to 10 for the day i will say a eight or nine. see in the game you have to kill your friend or be buddy's and then go after the computer characters. there is like 40 weapons at least ant you get to choose the weapons the mission ect. good game for the day.
2546 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent Gameboy in great shape for its age reminds me of my school days owning it again thanks!
4209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! The game is very fun. You have many things to do in it. For explain you can bluid a roller coaster or checking to see if people like your park. The game is worth the money! Big time!
2536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought used, and works great, just like I remember in elementary school.
5682 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fianl Fantasy VIII is my favorite out of the series. Its a really fun game with a great storyline and realistic characters. Its a long game so people who don't have much Patience, this game isn't worth picking up. Know that its may take you up to 50 to 70 hours to complete. The only thing thats bothers you in the game is random battles (Sometimes after completeing a battle, you'll move less than an inch and your back in another battle). Some people may find it hard since as your levels go up, its gets tougher unless your know how to use the GF battle system.
Ratchet deadlock is another game I recommend.
Nevertheless, its still one of the greatest stories ever told in any RPG, and the villain of this game, Kefka deserves a special mention for being the most lunatic villain in any RPG, surpassing even Albedo from Xenosaga at least in that regard.
9624 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Okay, let's cut the hype. This ain't Half-Life. Comparing this game to Half-Life is ludicrous. If this game is hamburger, then Half-Life is fillet mignon.
You should definitely read more reviews. The graphics are okay, but the design of the graphics in this game are considered to be very cartoonish by many. Bright oranges, glowing blues, and odd color assortments await you in this game. Do yourself a favor and search for the original Battlezone. That was a game I played so many years ago I can't even remember when, but I remember clearly the missions and the specific gameplay elements because it was so good. The story made more sense, the missions didn't tell you exactly what to do (you had to figure it out, which was the fun part), and the overhead map was accessible from the push of a button rather than getting out of your vehicle all of the time. To summarize what these reviews (on the first page) are all leaving out:
The ability to customize adult Link's appearance is pretty unique and cool where you can choose with color tunic he wears, which sword and shield to wield.
You'll have to take another magic carpet ride through low-flying areial obstacles to reach the cloud house. The blue blocks that float in your way are bigger on this carpet ride and you'll have to jump on them quickly before the carpet moves out from under your feet. The Magic Carpet will take you through the cloud house twice. On both trips, whatch out for the jet of fire that comes out from the fireplace! I'ts best to stay to the rear of the carpet until the fire is out, then go to theleading ledge of the carpet. If you get knocked off the carpet, it's a log trip back to a spot where you can remount it.( there's a warp to the top of the maze on the Cloud House Balcony.)
5094 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a serious metal gear fan and for any one who liked the VR missions on Substance will absolutely love this! and as a side note i am getting mgs intregial and maybe the subsistance limited edition.
Pros
The sequel was a bigger and better game and thanks to Nintendo, they delivered a fun game that made lots of great memories. I still have the original cartridge and I still get a kick playing this game every once in a while. For those who are still on the fence, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is worth tracking down if you have a Game Boy or Game Boy Advance SP handheld that still works.
The worst part is the game only runs about two or three times before it crashes on startup. This is on an Intel PC with name-brand components, no cheap swap-meet stuff. The only solution has been to uninstall and reinstall the game. A visit to the Disney Interactive site for tech support... umm where is it? Because of this I can't recommend anyone purchase this game.
-KNUCKLES IS A NICE ALTERNATIVE TO PLAY AS FROM THE OTHERS. He doesn't fly like Tails or jump as high as Sonic, but his glide, climbing, and smashy fists enable him to reach places that the others can't get to. Plus, a lot of the areas of certain zones that you traverse are completely different from Sonic's.
If you have a Playstaion system, any of them, then get a copy of this game. In fact, if you have a Gamecube then buy the version released for that system. If you have PSN, then buy it there if they have it. It is worth every penny.
The gameplay itself, aside from being beautiful and challenging is an extremely easy to use, idiot proof interface of "click where you want to go." The game is a masterpiece, what more can I say?
Now, we get into Final Fantasy 7. The first game, besides the original, to be correctly numbered. If you've read my FF6 review, I said that that game was the end of the magic era and the introduction of industrial technology. FF7 takes that further into a dystopian technological atmosphere; its bleak, dark outlook is not dissimilar to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. This was a stark contrast to the previous games that were about grandiose medieval adventure. No more dragons, colorful highlands, and sorcery. No more saving the princess from mortal doom. No more four crystals and light warriors.
1110 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is truely the best game for 64 becuase link is so cool. This is probabaly the best zelda game. Ganondorf is the man and you beat him in this game. If you haven't played this game, i don't know but anyways in this one you could be big link and little link. Not like in majoros mask where you could only be little link. This game is way better than majoros mask. If you still have 64 (get a gamecube, so you can play windwaker)you need to get this great game.
its a good game if it worked properly
9657 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 worked perfect, and i love this game
Aside from a couple bads, this is an enjoyable Mega Man adventure. I grew up with this game, so that might be why I like it so much. Nevertheless, nostalgia aside, it's certainly not a bad game. Mega Man fans, give this one a shot. In any event, hopefully this can be a good introduction into this phenomenal and legendary video game series as it was for me.
1951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the only games to truly terrify me. (the other being silent hill. check my review on that in upcoming weeks!) The graphics are just right for this type of game, although they could have been better. The control is muddy, although never cumbersome. the weapons are alright, but upgrading them is a hoot. I wish that you could upgrade more weapons, though. An upgraded rocket launcher that could blow through doors, now that would be really...' cool!!! Oh well, If I want to do that, I should go play Red Faction. The zombies are as dumb as oxes, but the lickers and dogs and the birds (THEY ARE COMING TO GET ME!!!!) are fairly intelligent. avoid those at all costs, if you know what is good fer ya. adios!
Throughout some of the more recent installments of castlevania there have been several different powers to acquire. whether those be magical cards, or the collection of souls, its been around. In this installment Alucard collects relics. These relics can do anything from allow you to jump twice in midair, to summon a ghost to help you in your battle through the castle.

5701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once again, I have to completely disagree with the cons of the Amazon review. The battles are different from other Final Fantasy games but it's certainly far from being boring and the random encounters are certainly not too much. It's really sickening to read this stuff all the time. But I won't dwell on this.

Gorgeous graphics.
5203 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After eight years without a new Metal Gear game, this franchise got it's third entry with Metal Gear Solid. The graphics have not aged well at all. Textures are very pixellated, animation is very jerky, and the framerate can get rather slow at times. The audio, however, has lots of great dialogue, combined with a catchy musical score.
Overall, Mario Kart 64 is another game that defines 3D gaming on the Nintendo 64.
3264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks again i didn't know if the other feedback went through or not but i wanted to make sure you got a good review and thanks for the valentines day wrapping sweet as ever.
The system itself is definitely good quality and sturdy, but very noisy. The larger-than-life controller isn't that bad and is actually great for games such as Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi (and other driving games too), but for fighters such as SFIII, Project Justice, and KOF, I prefer the Saturn controller via adapter. The cool thing about the DC controller are the triggers ala Xbox which go great with shooting games and the for gradual speed increase/decrease in driving games. The things I don't like about it; the thumbstick is obnoxiously rounded and made from hard plastic and the d-pad is certainly a step down from the Saturn's controller.
A must for any game who claims to be a fan of the zombie genre.
[This was written separate from the review back in May 2012 about the Mario games' development history. Notably, Miyamoto said that "Super Mario World" began development with a team of sixteen people, and took about three years to make. As "Super Mario World" came out in November 1990, that means Nintendo began production on this game sometime in 1987 - the same year they were working on "Super Mario Bros. 3". On a game forum someone asked why Nintendo did not release "Super Mario Bros. 3" on the SNES, instead of the NES, and was complaining they should have released the game on the more powerful system. This was my answer:]

I advise not buying the game, instead tell your friend to buy it because its the best game ever and take it from him when he wants to throw it out. Of course you'll lose a friend, but well worth it! Game > Friendship. I'm just playing kids.

808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i played this game when i was about 15, and i'm now 24 and still love it to the death (literally). I have a blast shooting other things other than just people and watching bullet holes go into the items and how it looks so freaking real. I also have always loved how you can choose many different people in 2 player mode, such as 007 to scientist. The golden gun is the coolest because it only takes on shot to kill, but if you like a really smashing good time, you can always punch or cut your way out. A must have game for the 64 :-)
4244 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember 3 years ago when I stumbled onto the StarCraft Battle Chest at Electronics Boutique. I was so filled with joy that I found it for my Macintosh computer - I heard many good reviews of the game. Little did I know that it would ensnare my life...
The Playstation 1 has MANY *extremely* good games available that are pretty affordable and definitely playable. Sure, most of the games are slightly shorter than the games you will find on the Wii, PS3, or Xbox, but who cares? You'll have so much fun playing them that you'll probably be back to play through them again, I guarantee it. I must have played through Silent Hill and Castlevania: SOTN over 100 times.
2259 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 when i bought my N64 i really suffered for games, it seem like no one had N64 the games,EVENTUALLY i was able to aquire game like Doom N64 / Duke Nuken ect..... with less than ordinary graphics in comparison to when i got my memory epansion, Then came games like Donkey Kong 64 , Perfect dark , Zelda Majaora's Mask, well let say that i really was impress to see the full potential of the N64 ,i always wondered why??? for the power that N64 had it was hard to see how Ps1 was so much more popular than N64, i know N64 had some really great games and the graphic was superior to Ps1, anyhow if you are a serious gamer the expansion pak is a must have and also you can experience the full potential of the N64 laterzzzz folks / gamers.....
Max Payne consists of running into a dark room, shooting everybody, then moving on to the next room, wash, rinse and repeat, over and over and over.

9535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing the Myst games for years, they never get old. I left a review for the DVD Trilogy Box-set for the Myst series, so I thought I should review each individual game as well.
as you have most likely heard, people say that this storyline is based on the theme of love, when in many people's opinion (my own included), this game is anything BUT love. the only thing close to love that happens is **SPOILER**rinoa and squall kiss at the ending**END SPOILER**
Another problem: Summons last around as long as it takes the average person to slow-cook a turkey, so you'd best have a book ready after the first two or three times you watch them.
6251 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I agree with so many fellow gamers that this is easily one of the best games to have been produced. Fantastic story, interesting characters and engaging dialogue. Unlike so many fantasy games this one is "not" built around destroying everything in sight. The most rewarding portions are solving the myteries about the main (your) character, "The Nameless One." Fighting is necessary at times, but discovery is the name of this game.
2149 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with order will by from again
10 years later, we ask ourselves 'What the heck is this crap?'
The only downside I'd say is that The boss monsters aren't very well built up nor overly difficult, still fun but rather short.
BAD:
This game is hard. One bites puts you in orange caution if you're Jill, on arranged anyway. Ammunition is VERY limited at the start of the game. But that's what makes it so great. You can't run around blasting things. It's just wonderful!
Oh yeah, and the controls, as I have previously mentioned, are perfection. It is entirely possible (though difficult) to beat the game this game without taking any damage. With practice, this game is more 'masterable' than any game I have played.
120 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good
THE BEST NPC SYSTEM EVER: The NPC's in the game are extremely well written, and seem to have lives and goals of their own. Their dialogue is well written, and gives each one a unique voice. And some of the political maneuvering that they are involved in is really quite complicated! They seemed more like the characters in a novel than the cardboard cut outs I usually see in RPG's. The game's conversation system is one of the nicest features. Basically, your character's intelligence determines how many things he can think of to say in any given situation. This means that a smooth talking smart character will have a different set of options than a dim witted combat machine. It's a nice system that works very well.
At times I got stuck solving the mystery and had to take a look at hint sites and found out that nothing is impossible in any mystery game if you really have the time and patience to look into every nook and corner.
I disagree that comment because if that be a whole truth then I will be a serial killer. On the other hand, there are a little human group whom video games can make more aggressive but generally this sentence is not true.
Good for the people who own a SNES, not PC.
I don't think Croc 3 wasn't released because Croc 2 was rubbish.

1922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 picks up a little after the original game in the series. The virus that the evil Umbrella corporation has been researching managed to get out into the open, and people have been dropping dead like flies as a result. The story begins when two central characters are separated in a car crash, and both try to survive long enough to work out what on Earth is going on in Racoon City. It sounds like a very basic, even threadbare plot, and to tell the truth, it is. But therein lies the charm of Resident Evil and most all of its sequels. One can go anywhere, do anything, kill anything, and apart from the frustration of winding up with nowhere to go at times, the game will not penalise the player for it. In this day and age where racing simulators are nothing more than knowing which lever to jerk when, it makes for a nice change.
The levels are incredible.
The soundtrack to the first Resident Evil is really something that's difficult to categorize. Imagine, if you can, a blend of symphonic suspense, the song that plays when you push "demo" on a keyboard, and elevator music. That's Resident Evil's melody. The composer tried to capitalize on the few "jump out of your seat" moments the storyline provided, but surrounded by cheesy samples, monotonously repeating tunes and quality that sounds more like something on the N64 than the PSX, there was only so much that could be done.
On top of that you get to read incredibly corny, "John Woo" style (whatever that is) dialogue (read: bad cliches) and cinematic flair.
It might be related to the USB hub that I'm using, but it simply refuses to be detected by the game.

VERDICT-The only game better than this is Super Mario 3. This is fantastic!94%
Buy this now, before it fades away and is pushed aside by evil marketing people who care more about graphics and sound than FUN! Fun is what games are about, and Red Baron 3D is one of the last great games of the early days that will always be there to go back to when flying games become ridiculous and boring, much they have already become.
3476 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! fast shipping great service & product A+++
3438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember the buzz around Resident Evil 3...still high of the massive blockbuster that was RE 2 I was sooooooooo Down to check out RE-3. I still feel to this day that 3 is a true fans game. There are those that accuse this installment of jumping the gun and rushing the release. Which in some aspects i say yeah...i agree but only in the fact the RPD was recycled, yes it was different but roaming racoon city was really the draw to this release. I think putting something else in it's place would have been nice. But what an entrance FOR NEMESIS!!!!!!!! I won't spoil the surprise (or exact location i guess i ruined the surprise...). But on the topic of Nemesis What a Cool Enemy! He brings a whole new element of fear and action to this game...Like a constant threat of bad #SSERY lurking around every corner. I love the weapon combinations , The puzzles and even the item combo's. The Enemies are crazy cool in this too! The locations are sick and you know what? I'm gonna stop rambling, Just Play this game! But it, Download it Emulate it whatever Just get it and PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7069 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bomberman 64, is a really good game. I rented it about a week ago, And then I got it a few day's later! It has a Great multi-player mode, And the 1-player mode is really fun, too! It's, Got a lot of puzzle's that take a while to Solve. I think it's Really worth the money!
Anyway, this sits there with the Lunars, Grandia, Arc the Lad, Alundra, Wild ARMs, and a couple others as the best RPGs the PS1 had to offer. Extremely playable to this day in an emulator. Better than you will ever see it look emulated through a modern system on a console, meant for purchase. These games look and play exquisitely through an emulator and that is where you should be revisiting them if possible. Filters make the sprites look near perfect and there are many to choose from. Amazing how PS1 RPGs hold up and many of the PS1 and even PS2 3D games look awful in comparison. The same could be said for 2D games on the 16 bit systems; a joy to behold. xBRZ filters and their brethren have made a lot of these games timeless.
Now, a quick word about the music disc...it's pathetic. An absolute waste of time. If anyone could actually listen to that disc and get into the music on it, I'd say you have serious issues. It's tinny SNES sound, taken directly from the games. I can't imagine it would have been too much work to throw some real orchestrated versions (they are available in Japan) of the songs on here...that would have been great. Furthermore, they chose a bunch of the worst songs to include on the disc and left out many of the best. Terrible.
You start out as a 10 year old boy and then after 3 levels you travel through time and become an adult. Hyrule has changed and you need to save the land. You go through many levels and bosses to finally get to Gannon, the ultimate evil here. He is an improvement on the previous Gannon of previous Zelda games(looked like a little pig then!) and fighting him is more challenging and engrossing in this new game. There are other little side adventures thoughout the game to entertain you when you want a break from dungeons and monsters. This is a high quality game fun for kids and adults.
484 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The original Tomb Raider was a landmark game for the Playstation and the start of a very long running series. It holds up well, but is a definite acquired taste.
Use the speed settings hot keys to slow down the game, or you will not be able to handle the commands fast enough. Be very careful with your "commander". Use the orders to set the proper stance for each unit: "Roam", "maneuver", or "Hold position; "Fire at will", "return fire", or "Hold Fire". Set the settings at the factory to automatically churn out new units with the proper stance already set. Assign "Patrols" to units: they will patrol back and forth (or around) exactly as you want them to automatically.
5084 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is lots of fun. lots of cool weapons, awesome graphics, lots of BLOOd. simply put this is the best first person shooter ever, way better than quake 3!
2613 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Really great for an old school Game Boy Color. It has very few scratches on the screen but the battery case is still there. Despite the minor astetic wears it plays well and the volume works perfectly. I would have given this five stars but the scratches were a minor problem that stopped me from doing so.
Instead of the usual video-game music playing as you run around the town, the game features a soundtrack of creepy noises and other sounds that keep you on edge. Your pocket radio crackles with static when enemies are nearby, and the sound effects of the environment chill you to the bone.

6286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The is one of the best AD&D games ever made. This game is different from all the other AD&D games out there. The setting and ideas in this game are the most interesting and involving of any AD&D game I've ever played. This game just rocks!
3957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Whether you're looking for a controller to relive your childhood or one for the kids, this controller will do the job. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the construction of the directional stick really sets this controller apart. Official Nintendo branded n64 controllers use a plastic composition in their sticks that wears down and leaves the stick feeling loose, which can actually effect a great many games. This one, however, is metal and really feels great. Only complaint would be the Z button, which rests on the back of the left hand grip. It feels a bit iffy, but hasn't malfunctioned or anything of the sort... Yet. I just have this terrible feeling I'll be doing a case mod in the near future haha. All things considered though, this controller is much more functional and comfortable than the official controllers and will outlast them, even if a bit of work is needed somewhere along the way.
The Sound is ok. But nothing special.
2315 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Heroes is a lovely platformer. Lately I have been hearing people saying terrible things about this game, as well as other 3D Sonic platformers. Here is my message for them: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! It's true that Sega hasn't exactly perfected the camera system for this game as well as the other Sonic 3D games, but please give Sega some credit for this good platformer. To start with the good in this game, and there is a lot of it, the voice overs are totally sweet. I normally don't pay much attention to the voices of the characters, as they little interest me, but this game struck a cord there. Each voice, matches his or her corresponding character's personality, species, and gender perfectly! There is no question about it. The graphics are good, regardless of the very occasional jerky camera, and the video clips and the stories are also some of the best I have seen. How each story begins, collides with other stories, and ends is masterpiece, and unlike many other games, once you finish a story, you can watch all of the movie clips of that story in the options menu! The music totally rocks, especially the team themes, and the levels all have a good moral lesson for kids: that you need to work with others as a team! Speaking of team, this game is very team oriented, the teams are:
5186 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 OK, this game was meant to be out 2 and a half years ago but what ever way you look at it, even if it had came out when it did it would still have struggled to be competitive back then.

But Myst was in 1993 -- and even though it held well throughout several years (which is amazingly good), it started to be noticed more as a classic than current technology.
That pink writing you can toggle through by press L or R, and then Start to enable it. You basically just need the invincibility and all weapons. Maybe the level skip or teleport (to another location of the level your on). Have fun with it. Each time you want to use it again, hold all the buttons down again (all C's, L, R, Z, left) and then tap the analog to the left and the menu will display again whenever you want it.

The Story - 8/10: This Game starts out a bit slow till you are about 3 hours into the game. That is when this game starts to shine and keeps shining. You will laugh, Cry, get upset, and feel joy while playing this great game.
2195 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a racing game for anyone, and it features only the new version of the best selling car of all time, the Volkswagen Beetle. It is a great game, with different difficulty levels in the championships, challenging opponents, and progressively harder courses. This is also a great game for multiplayer, with the very original and fun "beetle battle"

The archetypal side-scrolling Mario adventure. Wonderful, and let's leave it at that.
6760 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Relatively speaking, the Game Boy Pocket is an extremely old handheld system. It's outdated and quite ancient. However, when I owned a Game Boy Pocket (actually, I lost mine just a little over two weeks ago), I had a great deal of amusement with it. Why? Simply because I felt that regardless of the lack of color or high-tech gadgets that many systems had nowadays, my trusty Game Boy Pocket was still "fun". In fact, I hear the new Nintendo DS has no Game Boy functionality - only a Game Boy Advance port (which I own not). That's another reason why I may not get that particular system.
Most excellent third entry using tons of action you can control, puzzles to solve, and ways to survive. This is also very scary, not for those who are light sleepers but a must play.
4798 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 $43...As I write my review the game is selling for $43. I sold my copy 4 months ago on here for 9.99 and it wasn't the lowest price. What the heck is going on here. Clearly the folks paying the silly price have not seen the gameplay or read a correct unbiased review. I purchased my copy on clearance (I was the original owner) for 1.99 back in the day and even then I thought I overpaid. The storyline is vague, the characters are too similar and from what I could stand...the same scene appears to take place with different baddies over and over again. And this game is $43??
1. I can't think of any
8594 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic. Sega's mascot in his first game. Grab rings, get the chaos emeralds, defeat Dr. Robotnic and keep him from enslaving animals for use in his machines!! I could see some hollywood actors in the blue guy's place, but it wouldn't be much fun without the speed!
1562 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great copy
The difficultylevel of the Sonic and Tails campaign is okay, although sometimes it's a little too easy. I didn't find the Knuckles-campaign quite entertaining. In each level you'll have to find 3 emeralds, adventure-style. This isn't fun because the sonic-games are fun because they're fast and pretty much straight-forward. With knuckles you'll sometime be looking for an emerald for five minutes. The robot-campaign is far too easy, but has a very original and even moving story-line. You'll have to find out for yourself!
8050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Imagine, if you will the perfect Star Trek game. Beautiful cut scenes seamlessly integrated between pulse racing action scenes, faithful ship recreation, crafty puzzles and interactive environments. The list goes on. *This* is the Trek game everyone's been waiting for!

1253 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a more than ok game. Not the best,but good. If you like the "Spyro" series,you'll like this for sure. The gameplay, control,sound,etc. are all like the first 2. The only problem is it's EASY.Really,really easy. The levels are about 5 minutes long each,and the total gameplay span is about 7 hours. But still, thats better than it being hard. It's still pretty fun and stays true to the first 2. And Crash's little sister premires in it. Here's the review:
7833 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I LOVE this game! It was my favorite 20 years ago and when I purchased this again I found it just as absorbing as when I was a kid. It was so worth getting. It's much simpler than the modern day sim city games but I find that the simple stuff is sometimes the best stuff. They don't mention the KISS method for nothing. When I compare the old pc version of simcity to the SNES version, there is no comparison. The SNES version ROCKS the house on this one. Even the manual is fun to read and has little story-like lines to it with Dr. Wright leading the way (with his IQ of 1,000 apparently). The all-time best simcity, HANDS DOWN!!!
The gameplay features the same basic principles as the first game. You have to solve puzzles, use a limited supply of ammunition, herbs to heal wounds, carry only eight items, and use typewriters to save. Its nice they stuck with the original format of the first game and I wish every Resident Evil game in the series was like this.
The Donkey Kong Country trilogy began with this crowning achievement. This game sold millions and gathered praise and critical success and there was good reason for it. Thanks to the success of this game, Rare released two sequels and they too have sold well. If you haven't tried this game out yet, you're not out of luck. You can either try to get this game (new or used) or you can download this off the Virtual Console service for the Nintendo Wii for 800 points ($8.00.) It was well worth it then and it is still a great game to play today. Get this game.
Overall, I think that the game's flaws are far beaten against its brilliance. If you can somehow manage to afford it (not everyone is lucky enough to get hand-me-down games from friends, like me), be sure to buy it. Your money will be well spent.
The SD ("SuperDeformed") versions of the characters that you see most of the time are pretty -- very nice character design -- and for the most part you view them in tactical mode, in an adjustable-angle 3-d display. By today's (2002) the view isn't amazingly detailed, but it plays out well; the characters can develop skills in a wide variety of professions, ranging from wizards to monks and straight-up fighters, each of which has its own peculiar talents and powers. Each individual character also has his or her own special talents, and as they gain experience can be built up in a myriad of different ways.
2055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still remember the first time I played this game, it remains a favorite even today. Some minigames are a bit simple, but I still love it!
592 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played unreal when I was 9 and beat it in a week.
8481 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Vandal Hearts is definitely one of the sleeper hits of the year. No one expected it to be a great game, as it wasn't hyped up before its release. But Konami put something into the game that usually helps: fun and addictive gameplay. Vandal Hearts claims to be an RPG, but it really isn't. Actually, it's a strategy game with RPG elements and a story intertwined. Unlike Command and Conquer, where you can have hundreds of "units" at a time, in Vandal Hearts you usually have around 7. But rather than having units with identical abilities, each of your characters have different skills, spells, and strengths that set them apart. They advance in levels, again making Vandal Hearts look like an RPG, but all it really does is add more spells and raise endurance.
9333 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is definetely today's leader in graphics and system requirements, and the developers finally put a decent story in an intense action game, but its gameplay is same old third person variant of the FPS only it is with one powerful addition: Bullet Time or slow motion, which adds more to it. Gamers may trigger it whenever they feel like it and it has its one sense of style and adds eye candy to already jaw-dropping graphics as well as it gives you advantage over your foes (which are just plain nasty to deal with because: 1.extremely beefy 2.might shoot through their allies to kill Max 3.very alert). Max can also shootdodge, that is leap sideways in slo-mo and shoot while keeping himself less likely to get hit by enemy bullets, in addition that he can just dodge bullets by jumping sideways. Yes, it took very long to finish this game and it is quite short, but in fact, most people (me too) get so addicted to games like Max Payne that they'll beat it in record time and start whining about its length right after they beat the last level. When it comes to multiplayer, to enlighten people who are guessing why Remedy did not include it, consider the "slo-mo", because this is what this game is all about. If there was multiplayer, then imagine how you'd play with other human opponents, if one goes into slow motion, then all of them would, resulting horrible experience when some would go into slow motion without triggering it. That means that it could only be limited to 2 human players at once. When it comes to performance, the only necessary requirements for this game to run at optimum are 256 MB RAM and a 64 MB video card (I would recommend NVIDIA's Geforce cards). The game's textures take up lots of memory especially when running at 32-bit texture color depth and at high level of texture quality and sharpness. 1 ghz CPU will be more than enough for this game.
The gameplay is fun...Kina Cartoony especially the characters.
At any rate, this is the last great 2D Mega Man game. I highly recommend it. The Megaman Legends games are really funny in their own weird way, but it's not the same as good old fashioned Mega Man.
Oh, and don't let anyone lie to you about the battle system. You do NOT have to draw magic at any point if you don't want to. Just like any other FF game, you can choose to do a little grinding to become overpowered or you can speed through and rely on strategy instead.
175 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good buy but... if you get the thumb grips for the xbox 360 controllers they will get stuck on the silicone so its not like the picture and it shows at the joystick the silicone is way back its really up close to the sticks and you will have to cut it back IF you get the thumb grips, now it could just be only my silicone case but I don't know.

8209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a classic. The story is tha same as the original Mario bros. games, though there are new enemies, and levels. It is definetly a must get.
8933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the 3rd installment to the metroid series. And probally one of the best. It was the first of the metroid games to have a map of the areas and a section that told what you have collected so far. It takes place after samus aran finishes off the metroids on the planet SR388 which is roughly about oh maybe 6 months-1 year after the origional metroid. Ridley, a massive teridacle like creature (also from the origional metroid) goes to the space coloney (a massive research station used by the intergalactic federation police) to take the baby metroid which latches itself to samus in metroid 2. after samus lays some damage on ridley it takes off with the metroid and selfdestructs the coloney. samus then escapes and follows the flying feind to the space pirates own base....the origional home of samus aran! (i found that out reading some metroid manga, japanese comics) the game is outstanding. if you have a super nintendo you have to get this game. but if you don't have patience and cant exept a defeat here and there you will probally smash this game in a mad rage. but this game is the best with some seeings of some old enimes such as ridley, kraid, and the mother brain. and some new ones such as draygon, crocomire, and phantoon. this game is amazing the name is super metroid, the platform is super nintendo, and the fun level is infinity!
I have a few problems with certain parts of the game but overall, I'm happy to report that the jump to 3D was a good one (not to mention a NECESSARY one!) Mega Man spends the entire time in Legends jumping and shooting through a unique 3D environment.
5 classic stars.
you can't save the game.
This game is not as well-known as Black Isle's more popular Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, but it may actually be the best of the bunch. It should easily run on all but the very slowest computers. I can go on and on about how good this game is... how good the voice acting is, making the characters seem even more life-like... how original the game world is... but you should find out for yourself. If you're a fan of role-playing games, you should not miss Planescape: Torment.
3838 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Silent Hill in space and just about as annoying. I understand the tension that the developers were trying to create and they succeed but this is ridiculous. Constantly low on ammo with weapons so defective the manufacturers would be promptly put out of business all the while being attacked by hordes of wrench wielding, regenerating zombies. You aint gotta chance and thank heavens for cheats or I wouldn't be bothered. If you could get it for under 10 bucks go for it and kill some time. But I sure wouldn't spend the money that is being demanded on Amazon.
Nice Game Fun - Easy to Play - Overall Rating 3.9 Stars.
9551 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Battles are randomly generated, including frequency in non-storyline encounter areas. Not to be taken lightly, as the monster level match your own, so overleveling compared to what equipment is available could be a good way to die horribly. Be careful of saving over previous files as there are a few boss class encounters after previous battles without being able to move freely.
I thought I was ready, I thought I had come well prepared.
The known; Your a theif and take on many jobs by your employer. Before each level there is a cut seen that sets it up. Simple but nicely done. Being a theif requires many theif-like equipment. Your trusty bow(that zooms in when you hold the string back long enough), Blackjack(knock out club), A variety of speciality arrows,including a rope arrow. etc.

Custom Characters: This is something that was left out of Timeslitters (I've heard that a lot of the staff that worked on GoldenEye left Rare to become Free Radical). I happen to like my alien wearing a scubba mask and a trenchcoat. I think that although this option does not have much playability value, it is kind of fun to see what sort of odd creations some people will come up with.
4218 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I loved the first two Gabriel Knight games ("Sins of the Father" and "The Beast Within"). They were creepy, well-researched, and had great atmosphere.
Comparing RE 2 to RE or RE Director's Cut is like comparing Raw Horsemeat to a young Stallion. Resident Evil 2 had better graphics and sound by far, not to mention the fact that it was on a bigger bolder scale than Resident Evil. Simple bottom line folks is that if your looking for a GOOD Survival Horror game... pick this one up.
6600 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Anthology, released in 1999, contains FF V, FF VI, and a soundtrack with some music from each of these two games. Look for more about FF VI (called III for the SNES) in my review for it in the SNES section when it was originally released. I will focus this review more on FF V, since this was the first time it was released out of Japan....
OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
9914 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First let me say they don't make video games quite as creatively as they used to. I guess its probably because it takes a long time to make a game with 128 bit graphics and Nintendo wants to make money fast. Ive played 16 bit and even 8 bit games that were more fun than anything Ive played on Game Cube and this is one of them. I got Battletoads as a Christmas present for the NES and loved it but it was too hard(I eventually decided to cheat with a Game Genie attachment to see what happens at the end of the game.) About 3 or 4 years later I got Toe Jam and Earl 2 for a present for getting on the honor roll and let me tell you the game is one of the most unique and endlessly fun games you can get. It is very similar to Battletoads but not as frustrating. The graphics aren't quite as amazing as 32,64, or 128 bit games but are still cool to look at and the music and gameplay is incredible. If somebody was selling a Genesis at a garage sale I would definitely buy it. Genesis and Super Nintendo still have the best games you can buy no matter what anybody else says.

3644 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not a hard core gamming person. I'm 25 years old and I work long hours behind a computer, I come home and I want something to relax to that's not going to require large amounts of my time.
4059 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You may not even need my review, i mean, just look at the average costumer rating!! out of 550 reviews it still hase 4.75 stars.
5558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quake 2 is much more than a game; it's a gaming phenomenon. This game set the standards and provided the very engine of hordes of first-person shooters (as well as less kill-or-be-killed oriented games) that followed in its wake. It took online gaming to new heights with its plethora of multiplayer options. Gamers the world over designed their own maps and created their own online worlds in which to raise havoc against the Strogg hordes as well as their best buddies. Some seven years after its release (in 1997), Quake 2 is still more than capable of brazenly stealing one's entire day, weekend, week, and beyond. Quake was great fun, mind you, but there you were on defense, trying to defend your planet against these mechanistic aliens who decided that humans would make great raw material for new cyborgs (although some lucky individuals would of course find their ultimate fate in the form of exotic ingredients for certain Strogg gourmet delicacies). In Quake 2, you take the fight to the Stroggs, by gum; you smear their guts across their own walls; you add a little chaos to the uglified place they call a home planet, and you make those soldiers pay for having dared attack Earth; before you're done you bring Makron himself, the biggest and baddest Strogg of them all, to his knees before terminating him with extreme prejudice.
4) Plays on Windows 7 fine for me. This is on a HP DV7 Pavilion laptop. The game loads, looks fine, I can alt-tab back and forth, though sometimes the mouse if I alt-tab back to desktop will be weird and still kind of trapped in the game. Really no big deal, though.
One thing that I really love about "Super Mario 64", and which the other 3D Marios have not included, is how open ended the title is. You can really go anywhere and are not limited to individual stars. As great as the Galaxy games are (and believe me, they're fantastic, especially the second), they don't have the open ended exploration of SM64 and are more linear and streamlined.
The three add-in areas are: Ulgoth's Beard, a small town north of Baldur's Gate where more or less all the expansion adventures take their start from, an...island(trying not to reveal too much), and Durlag's Tower. Of these Durlag's Tower is the most challenging and interesting. Durlag's tower is the biggest dungeon in the entire game, and can be a challenge for even experienced parties. The other areas, offer some interesting information, but are less exiting to play through. All in all it is an interesting expansion, although not an expansion in the true sense of the word. But since you can sometimes find both Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast in one package at a good price there is no excuse not to get it.
There are also features that allow you to set the stance and actions of your units. For example, you can set units to guard another unit, to patrol, and to follow an enemy unit at long range. You can also set to aggressive, defensive, stand ground, and no attack stance.
One thing that annoys me on the SNES version, that is solved by the Virtual Console (since the game "freeze" until you come back) is that if you restart the game, even if you are Cape-Mario, have a Yoshi and 99 extra life when you save = You start with 5 lives, no Yoshi and you are looser-Mario!!!
8277 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Mega Man games have always been interesting and fun to play. The ability to pick your own path through the game always makes the replay value go way up. In the first Mega Man X game the creators at Capcom upped the anti by adding 4 armor upgrades, heart tanks and a revised subtank system. What I took away from this game was how wonderful the play control is. X is very responsive and with the ability to cling and slide down walls and springboard off gives the player a lot of freedom of movement not found in the old NES games. I originally thought of the old NES Ninja Gaiden games when I first played it. Mega Man X and Super Metroid probably have the best overall play control of any games on the SNES and should be included in everyone's gaming library.
The courses and star's names are quite creative. (e.g. Lil' Penguin Lost) They are more riddles though.
FFV was a waste of my time, however. I couldn't get into the story or any of the characters. It comes with VI, so give it a shot anyway. You might like it.
Once you are in Dereth, you can bash monsters or just hang around towns. There are some players who have never left their hometown and still gain expereince and money.
9643 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's really fun and makes a good addition to any gbc collection. The rumble pack is pretty neat and though the pinball physics are kind of weird, I enjoy it.
Overall, it's a pretty good game.
The graphics are generally the same and have been improved in many areas. The sound and music also got an uplift. They also added a password system to this and IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER.
5. Difficulty ranges from stupidly easy to insanely hard.
the genesis version is almost a carbon copy of the arcade classic.. the graphics are crystal clear and they still hold up well today ..for 16 bit, you cant go wrong with this game ...after getting the genesis my nes, 7800, and master system collected dust for a long time !
However, the best part about Intelligent Qube is easily the soundtrack. Beautifully orchestrated. You'll be tempted to pause the game just to listen to the music of the stages. This is easily one of the best sounding Playstation games ever released
- Stealth is heart throbbingly fun.
The units are the best part of the game. Except for the paladin and scorpion wipeout trick, the unit balance is superb. The naval battles are amazing, with fireships, ballista ships, and even ships that launch cannonballs.
3250 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I personally own this game and can testify to how good it is. WWF attitude has eccellent character selection, and create a player mode....for its time. Unfortunately it is getting lost in the shadow of games like Smackdwon 2 with its quick executing of moves, unlike Attitude, and its enormous backstage area, unlike attitude. But on the good side it has some things other games don't, tag team Gauntlet and its huge hidden character selection that you are always trying to unlock. Great game, i would reccommend it to anyone who likes slowerpace games.
One of the games that not only defined the N64 but a game that set the standard for excellence in RPG's.
6202 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love playing 4 player smash. We need more controllers though as we always tend to overuse them in a month or so.

Cons: Thin plot, not a traditional FF game, can become boring if you don't like the never ending stream of battles
6656 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Wow, I expected something decent when I bought this at my local Half-Price Books store, (I was on a Mortal Kombat Craze, hell I even bought MK:Annihilation at the same place on dvd) BUT THIS IS GOD AWFUL!!!
9950 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1987, Double Dragon set the precedent for side-scrolling fighting games. Play as Spike or Hammer, either alone or with a friend, and track down the mysterious Shadow Warriors who have kidnapped your girlfriend Marian. There are four stages total, the last one deep inside the Shadow Warriors' hideout, where you must defeat the machine-gun wielding boss. If you are playing a two-player game, Spike and Hammer must fight each other at the very end to see who gets the girl. Three buttons are used for punching, kicking and jumping. The jump button may be used in conjunction with the fighting buttons to execute special moves including elbowing and jump-kicking. Some enemies may attack you with weapons such as baseball bats, whips, dynamite, and throwing knives. You may disarm the enemy and use their weapons against them. Also scattered about the game are oil drum, crates, and large boulders, which may be picked up and thrown or kicked toward the enemy. Players begin the game with two lives; they lose a life when their health reaches zero. Indicators at the bottom of the screen show how much health a player has left and how many lives remain. This is a game that has stood the test of time and won, if you can still find it, you owe it to yourself to play this game, one of the all-time classics of our day.

2990 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game for my boyfriend as a birthday present because his was scratched. It is his favorite game and has got me playing it as well now. It is a very fun and I am glad I got him it. It was in the the exact condition the seller had described for it and it came in a timely manner. Both are happy with the purchase.
P.S. Be aware of the dreaded voice of the head hacker in hacker central, and listen to how the President pronounces 'assume.'
8797 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazing game! everything perfect.
The game opens with a stunning (although somewhat confusing) intro of a man and his daughter driving along a mountain road in an SUV at night. The SUV gets passed by a policewoman on a motorcycle. A few curves later, he sees the motorcycle overturned on the side of the road. Looking up, he sees a girl standing in the middle of the road. Swerving to miss her, the SUV goes careening into the ditch and rolls over. The intro is intermingled with other cut-scenes from the game. These make no sense when you first see them, but I found myself watching the intro again and again as I went through the game.
How does that work?
Gameplay- 6.5/10
431 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 this is an excellent game that really has some substance! the graphics are not the best and it is oversahdowed by the bigger game final fantasy VII. if FF7 was too long for you, get breath of fire 3. the story is good and the battle system is great!
Sega Rally
Gameplay: Unfortunately, you never get to wield a light saber or anything. That's not what this game is about. It's a space-shooter. You travel to different planets in your X-wing or one of the other Rebel spaceships and do missions.
The interface was the worst I have ever seen for any non-Unix software. Nothing makes sense and C3PO stands there and insults you the whole time without giving any help.
The unit pathfinding is set up in such a way that they all move one at a time so that they don't obstruct each other. Thus, you'll move one unit, and if any others are in its way they will all, agonizingly, move one at a time to new positions so the mover can get through. In any movement of groups this problem is ten times as bad. You'll watch in frustration as your units get ripped to shreds while they stupidly maneuver into position before they start returning fire.
The RPG system is also great. There are several positive and detrimenatl traits for the characters. A certain level of blood must be maintained to use the disciplines (spells/skills) and to keep your character from succombing to frenzy. Experience points can be distributed among such traits as strength, dexterity, intelligence, willpower and several others. Very nicely done indeed.
At the end of every level, it tells you how many kills you did, how many limb shots, how many head shots, and how many body shots you had.
But that aside, I'd still reccomend it to any adventure game fan in a heartbeat!

With Resident Evil 1.5, you had Leon, but you also had another character that was scrapped named Eliza Walker. Eliza was supposed to be a University student in Raccoon City, she loved motorcycles and she was eventually turned into Claire Redfield. The reason they scrapped this version is because it played too much like the original and they felt that they wanted to do something different since they felt that they had to surpass the original game.
So there you have it. This is a very bad game and I would rather have my tounge frozen to a pole with rabid poodles knawing at my ankles than play this again. Word of advice, buy a PS2 and get Grand Theft Auto 3, you will not regret that financial investment.
All the sound effects from the first game are carried over into this one, so I can't really say much more than what I already said in my Sonic 1 review.
*Optional load-in sets for customization and enhancements

4)Online play. The best opponent is a human opponent.
The game was the perfect difficulty, not too hard as I had suspected it would be. I still haven't completely finished, and look forward to hours more fun netting those pesky little chimps!
Overall, Tarzan is a good game that no one should pass up, especially if they want sidescrolling action.
4016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to play this game for hours at a time when I was younger. I had been looking for it in stores for a long time and I didn't even think about checking here, so when I saw it, I ordered it right away. It has challenges that you have to beat in order to get different levels. It's a great game and I play it for hours at a time.
Without a certain special code it's REALLY hard to get *anywhere*. The storyline is similar to one you'd see in the TV show Jag. It's just not interesting to me. Walking around shooting people is fun, but that's all the game has going for it. Now imagine if that special code didn't exist where you can kill people in just one or two shots. The difficulty would be out of this world.
2) Weapons make no sense once you know the formula! They just slow you down and make you a prime target for the formula!!
Overall, 9 out of 10.
-GOOD MUSIC IMPROVEMENT. Well, the old games had good tunes, but these sound more like upbeat hard rock in terms of quality, than the buzzing NES midi. The loud sound effects are especially fitting for an action game like this.
3638 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The DreamCast is a truely remarkable game system with online support and tons of great games. It is said that by the end of March Sega will stop making them and develop only games. If this is the case which it seems to be, you best get one now as games like Resident Evil: Code Veronica, any StreetFighter you need, Shenmue, Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Ecco the Dolphin, Crazy Taxi, Phantasy Star Online, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and many many more are excellent games.

Top Gear Rally 2
First of all, people of any age can enjoy this game. It is cute and innocent enough to entertain children, but the strategy and the level of gameplay make it a worthwhile game for adults. Everyone will love this game.
2757 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There are very few video games from over 20 years ago that still go strong in the second decade of the 21st century. Myst is one of them. I remember playing this game back in 1993 and getting my but whipped with the puzzles. I recently replayed it and found myself in awe of how well constructed it is. Of course, graphics have advanced since 1993, but Myst shows game developers how puzzles should really work.
Despite the quality there is one elephant in the room, mainly the inclusion of Animated cutscenes. These cut scenes aren't badly animated and they serve their purpose of moving the story, however they do bear the mark of a lot of early english Anime dubs, namely terrible acting. This can be pretty distracting, however these scenes are short and can be skipped.
5388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game! This is the best Game I have ever played!
Mortal Kombat 4 was probably the most carefully watched game in the series due to abandoning the 2D root and going for 3D. No one knew what was going to happen to the series, and a lot of fans lost hope thinking the silky smooth controls, and excellent digitized graphics would go by the wayside in 3D. However, the game featured excellent visuals (for the time) and the silky smooth controls stayed despite some slippery and awkward animations. The fourth game also introduced some new characters who I thought were some of the weakest in the series. So despite the weaker roster we got some pretty good Fatalities, and excellent stages to fight in.
To encourage you to buy a Dreamcast, with a little bit of reading up you can play EVERY NES (first Nintendo console) on the Dreamcast with no modifications to the system, and the information is readily available online on how to do so.

I post this only because this page is misleading, making you think you are purchasing the official Nintendo Expansion Pak, which you are not.

1935 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2. I realized I hadn't written a review for my favorite game of all time. Yes, I'm not kidding. This game has it all. Graphics, check. (Still look good today in 2009.) Gameplay, check. Music, check. Gore and zombies, check and check. It just doesn't get any better than this. I loved the original but when I got this game is when I got really hooked into the series.
All in all this is a great title for the PSX.
Fun: 9/10
Finally, you will not be losing much by waiting a year to buy your Playstation 2. For the cost of a PS2, you can buy a Dreamcast and 3 great games. For a PS2, you'll shell out $300 plus tax, and still need to buy a game. Next Christmas, anaylists predict that Sony will be selling the PS2 for $200, and by that time, the console will have many more great games out for it.
662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Grim Fandango has a very retro feel, sort of like Casablanca with an Art Deco Aztec twist. The game centers around Manny Calavera who is attempting to stay honest and make sense out of a Hispanic day of the dead afterlife which has been corrupted by those who control that afterlife for their own gain. All while Manny pursues the love of his afterlife! Confused? Trust me, it will all make sense once you start playing and the dialog and graphics will impress you and keep you hooked. I've tried a lot of the adventure games and they all have their flaws. But Grim Fandango comes as close to perfect as any game ever will. The controls are a little irritating but not as much as some newer games. This is the best adventure game out there and I strongly recommend that you try it.
Even with its bugs, I can not help but give this my highest recommendation, if for nothing else than for the great joy the series has given me the past 13 years.
7814 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Forget about Contra 3, Super Mario RPG and Super Metroid - if you want to play a great simulator game look no further than SimCity for the SNES. This was when SimCity was simple and great (not clunky and annoying - looking at you SimCity 2013).
1. Yoshi's island(89%)This is a great starter world.
3243 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Power Stone is one of the great gems on the Dreamcast. This game was a breakthrough among fighting/action games. It is a 3D versus fighter, with tons of special moves, destructable environments, weapons and other items you can pick up and use, environmental traps and gadgets that can help or hinder you, and environmental objects you can use to jump off of, climb on, tear down, etc. It is a combination "capture the flag"/fighter where everyone goes dashing around for powerups and attacks each other to get them to drop their power stones. Once someone collects all the power stones, they go into their super mode and it becomes a game of cat and mouse until the effects wear off and the power stones fly off in random directions. This game is totally fun, totally original, and totally worth buying a Dreamcast if only to play this one game.
Unless you are a collector, I highly recommend Playstation's versions, and or X box.
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
11. good sound track.
The annoying part has nothing to do with the game itself. The puzzles are a bit bothersome at times, but nothing to complain about. The graphics aren't bad and the story line works pretty well.
The gameplay is what really made me love this game. Gun n' down zombies and solving puzzle...my type of game baby. The Puzzle are not that hard but they are pretty cool. The gameplay never gets boring and the boss fights are really cool. The gameplay may turn some off in the beggining. Mainly cause it's just runing away from zombies but later on that will change...trust me..
This game is nothing like the previous Sonic games. This is totally different. A different style of game play. This could be considered a small short role playing game in some ways.
The Controller: The controller is sort of a hit and miss,it looks really cool. But it's lacking in the button department,it has 4 face buttons,one analog stick,D-pad,and 2 triggers. Now the problem is the Dreamcast controller needed either another analog stick or 2 more shoulder buttons. I have a very good feeling if the Dreamcast would have been in the market longer it would have seen a redesigned controller. Not the worst controller,but not the best,It gets bonus points for possibly being the coolest looking controller I've seen.
And of course, the sound is top-notch.
Replay- High
3440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it is like my favorite re game
The things that make a good adventure game are all there. Logical puzzles that don't cause your gameplay to come to a standstill until you solve them, good acting, good animation, and good code! If I were ever forced to reccomend only on adventure game to someone, this would be it.
There's also a point to getting Chaos Emeralds. If you collect all the Chaos Emeralds (now its seven emeralds instead of six) and get 50 rings, you turn into Super Sonic. Super Sonic is a yellow juggernaut. Other than drowning, bottomless pits, and getting crushed, nothing can hurt Super Sonic, as he's not only invincible, but he can run extremely fast and jump over really long distances. The only drawback to Super Sonic is that your ring count gets deducted at one ring per second, and once you run out of rings, you turn back into regular Sonic.
7010 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 THE BOSSES
MGS follows te never-ending story of one Solid Snake, a one-man army working to stop terrorists from an organization named FOX-HOUND from launching a nuclear warhead from a killing machine named Metal Gear. Although this game may seem too hard for even a seasoned gamer, that's because they're approching the game the wrong way. You can't expect to go the whole game without getting caught by a guard or without not quite knowing what to do. That's where this game's real beauty kicks in.
8131 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You must solve the mystery of your brother's death.
SC's first mode is single player where choose your colony and you go through a campaign for each race learning more about the wars of the races and having fun while doing it. Also in single player mode you can play a custom match to practice your skills against the computer. Overall the gameplay is great but there seems to be one flaw. A term called rushing where the opposing team can take out in early colony in a matter of minutes. They can easily "rush" into your base (mainly protoss zealots and terran marines) and attack you qucik enough to kill you and destroy all of your buildings while your still just getting started. The blizzard team tried to slow down "rushing" by making updates to the game and making it so that a user can only take 12 units at a time while retreating, attacking etc. but it hasn't worked out to well.
3385 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is fun, don't get me wrong, but the problem is that this game offers nothing new to the style of game created by Capcom's own Resident Evil series. Basically its the same story you're trapped on an island where dinosaur research has run amuck and your goal is the escape before getting devoured by the many dinosaurs you'll run accross while playing this game. ALong the way you'll have to also solve some puzzles to be able to escape the island. So basically if you enjoyed Resident Evil or any of its clones, Dino Crisis is a game for you.
The bonus game you unlocked after beating the game was fun too. It's a battle game where you are given certain weapons, and health items and take one of the characters from the game through several rooms on a mission to kill all the baddies, and finally kill one of the big bosses from the game. Claire and Chris are standards, and depending on whether you did something during the course of the game you can unlock Steve, and then Wesker, plus an alternate Claire and Chris. This game itself is fun, though very difficult with Wesker, who only gets to carry a knife.
There is one scene that really gets to me and its at the beginning. There are fallout shelter sirens going off as the character goes into the warped dream world, he's surrounded by rusty gates with a poor light to guide him, and then you hear a bunch of voices, footsteps and other noise until you turn around to see a huge crowd of baby zombie like creatures --- when you try to run --- another set comes at you the other way until your engulfed in them.
Characters: You get a line up of the following characters:
If you think this is a good game so far, wait till you play the Game Boy version as well. You can use the Transfer Pak (sold separately, for some reason) to move your Game Boy character to the N64 version, where you can use your experience to build your character. This is essential for mastering the harder courses and beating the top golfers - your GBC character can become stronger than Wario and hit the ball straighter as well. You can also pit your characters against your friends' characters or trade them (if you're so inclined). Finally, you can send your N64 status back to your GBC and view it in more detail there - you can see each character's best score on each course.
A CLASSIC!!!!
5 out of 5 stars! This is one of the best N64 games next to
5539 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, most of us know about the great Playstationg titles. final fantasy, tekken, Metal Gear Solid. But there are titles out there that are every bit as good, yet never get the attention that they deserve. Omega Boost is one of those games.
5118 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Road Rash 64, the continuance of the very popular biker, beat em up game of the early 90's is a very good game. I will admit that the graphics are sub par. They're not as textured and vibrant as the Playstation version (even with the Expansion Pack) but this is all about the game play.

The gold edition also has a lot of extras. Like multiplayer ability where you can play against others on line or in a hot seat situation (where you keep on switching off turns on the same computer) has loads of scenario packs that were released some time after CivII was to add some more extras. So you can visit some futuristic worlds or relive some old battles from the Earth's past. Some of the scenarios have totaly new unique units giving you a whole new playing experience but still keeping to the same Civilization II familiarity so you can jump right into it as if you were reliving a famous battle once fought in our history.
The music was good, and the character development was about as good as you can expect in a video game with more than four main characters. Even in the best of games, some characters are left undeveloped, and it is no difference here. Cloud, Tifa, and Barret get a good deal of character development, though other main characters are left less known.
Someone will surely disagree with that title. And there are plenty of good reasons to. After all, GameBoy Tetris doesn't have any of the features that were added to later versions of the game like T-Spins (that count for points) or back to back Tetris combos. It doesn't even have the "win at Round 15" mode. You just keep going in Game A.
If you're a fan of the BattleTanx series, I suppose owning (what I assume is) the first entry is important. However, if I had to choose between this game and its sequel, I would choose the latter due to its better single-player campaign.
I like the original theatrical release of Star Wars.
Yet another good part about this game is the Titan. I must say, he is really one heck of a bad guy. But, of course, he's nowhere near as bad*ss as the Nemesis or as terrifying as Pyramid Head. But he's cool nonetheless.
The biggest challenge comes at the very end of the game when you face the main boss. He's really easy to beat, however, GETTING to him is a whole other story. You see, right at the very end before you face him, you have to jump over a series of disappearing platforms and if you fall (and you WILL fall the first few times because it's hard) you will land in burning lava and have to do the whole stage over again. Not that the stage is really that long anyway, but this is by FAR the hardest part of the game. The other 99% of the game only offers a slight challenge here and there.
9631 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It is unfortunate that a lot of the hype surrounding this game is all about the level of violence. Behind that shock value is a solid and highly entertaining game. You are put into the shoes, or combat boots, of a mercenary and sent to various regions around the globe to track down 4 stolen nuclear warheads.

8330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 you can't really argue with the title of my review. This game has a timeless value. because the characters really have no ending it gives you other goals to achieve thus increasing it's replay value. you can play to beat your score, learn all of the moves of your favorite characters or have tournaments with your friends. this is a game I played constantly during the saturn's hey day, and it was always more fun than tekken 2. I had friends with playstation who would ask to come over for tournaments. If you are collecting games that broke new grounds and pushed the envelope, you owe it to yourself to buy this game along with the virtua fighter 1, and virtua fighter remix I already own all of these and their japanese versions.

is amazing in many different aspects. The soundtrack is very beautiful, especially the Chill Penguin stage, I cannot fathom
My favorite Tekken hero(King, half jaguar, half man, all wrestler)favorite Tekken neutrality(Yoshimitsu, half machine, half man, all warrior)and favorite Tekken villain (Nina Williams, half hottie, half scorned woman, all assassin)are featured here. Yep, you got it. The top 3 coolest fighters(in my opinion)all get a great role in this game
At least the third Tomb Raider game has SOME decent-looking background levels. I guess the company who created Lara Croft finally understood that Lara's pretty face ALONE isn't going to get the job done anymore. I mean, at least in some places the backgrounds LOOK good . Not exactly the prettiest environments available on the Playstation of course, and most of the time all you see is darkness or candlelight. But what's THERE is okay to look at, at least.
The combat in Tekken is one of best ever. There are so many possible combinations, it's almost impossible to remember them all. Each Tekken gets better and better. Another thing I love about this game is the music. It suits the stages, and characters, well.
Well, thanks for reading, enjoy, have a blast.
5 huge stars!!
This ain't no masterpiece and is for Mega Man die-hards only.
As far as the game looks and sounds, it didn't really look all that great when it was released in 1998 (it was after all, a game made in 1995). On the original gameboy it was pretty grainy (but very clear on the Gameboy Pocket) and of course it was black or white (unless you played it on a Super Gameboy or Gameboy Color). For a Gameboy game, though, it actually wasn't too bad. It was annoying to watch a Pokemon simply flinch to attack, and some of the animations weren't all that great, but it was to be expected due to the Gameboy's limitations. The music, however, was fantastic. The tunes were catchy--particularly the trainer battles and gym leader battles. The only really annoying thing was the sound effects. They weren't all that great, and its a shame that Nintendo actually continues to use those exact same sound effects in Pokemon games today. Still, for what it's worth, this was the game you wanted on the Gameboy.

LEVELING UP THE MAIN CHARACTER: Beating enemies and bosses will give you XPs and level you up making you stronger adding RPG element to the game. So if you are not as skilled then leveling up and then fighting the boss is always an option. I personally got addicted to this and finding items.
5046 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even to this day, playing this game gives me a wierd feeling. I remember first playing this game and forcing myself not to be scared only to find myself with a sick stomach and a paranoia about me. This game should not be played by people that thought Resident Evil 2 was as scary as it gets! This is by far worse!
Everyone against eachother
If you do not already own this game, I incredibly suggest that you go buy it immediately.
Plus its the single ONLY system that has the year 1999 version of Soul Calibur.
It may consist of a handful of tracks, but you get to unlock some if you play a harder difficulty mode, in a similar fashion to how the Mario Kart series handles unlockables. Plus, the tracks themselves are actually thought out well and are fun to race in (Don't believe me? Watch some gameplay videos). For something that's supposed to look realistic, the courses are pretty imaginative.

The CONS: Just like Super Mario Land, SML 2 is not that hard so gamers had no problems completing the game. They just took a little longer doing so but it was all in fun.
Yes, the game's old, and yes, there doesn't seem to be as much happening onscreen as in Fusion (though in truth there is, and at higher resolution too). However, Fusion has a few problems with character sprites looking clunky and generic--never the case here in Super Metroid. Super Metroid is unique in setting different tones throughout the game--something like horror on the space station, wonder and adventure throughout the game, and an admittedly touching ending. This is in no small part due to the ecellently created graphics. There are remixes of the original Metroid enemies here, but they're drawn in a simple way. The backgrounds are still better than Fusion: the large cavern formations and falling petals from Brinstar are great.
1660 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Unlike the Corny ninja titles of years past like "Ninja Gaiden," "Ninja," and others of that manner. Tenchu finally takes the Ninja game to the next level. Not just a run around and throw stars at senseless, weak enemies, this game forces you to learn and master stealth and the art of sneak attack. The different weapons available keep the onslaught more versatile, and the different sword attacks seem to stun the viewer with there harsh and brutal images. A great game , a great story line, but still a few small problems. even though you have a large variety of weapons they are very limited. some of the game may be confusing, and not very straight forward as to what you are supposed to do, and you tend to run into some very annoying camera views that seem to definately take away from the game play. But overall it's a very entertaining game which i recommend to any action fan.
5416 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my opinion, this is the best MK ever made. This game is the reason I bought a PS1 so many years ago. I loved being able to play as the bosses. I just bought the game again and I still love it! Now I can play it with my son, who is also a MK fan.
Final Fantasy V is a great game, it's big disadvantage being that it is packaged alongside part VI, so gamers will inevitably compare it to FFVI. It is a typical FF game, meaning that you are assured a great game at the least. The "job skills" add a nice twist, and the story, albeit linear, can hold it's own with the best of the RPGs.

To add to this interactive realism is the greatest graphics before Resident Evil 2. The pre-rendered backgrounds are more artistic than most entire games are, the battles are cool with cool monsters and amazing spell effects, and the Cinematics, ..., well, just WOW!
5079 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No questions on this one. Get this game. If you are into multiplayer fragfest then this game is for you. You can play single player on it too so you can sharpen your skills for the real killers online. Take it from me. There are a lot of players out there who are soooooo good at this game. Graphics: Oh yesssss! The Unreal Engine does it again! Interface: the only thing missing is a button to heat your pizza. Gameplay: I love the smell of burning pixels in the evening. Non-stop action online. This game relies not just a quick finger but a good strategy mind too. Comes in several game types: Deathmatch, CTF, Assault, Domination, Last Man Standing. Go for multiplayer. It's what this game was made for. AI: I thought somebody was inside my computer hard case holding a mouse and playing against me. Overall: Get this game, lock your room till you score 200 points. By the way, this game comes with the Unreal Editor again just like the first one. Try learning to use this editor. It's very user-friendly!
My only gripe is the camera.
Cons
5119 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 not for me
2311 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A very fun game that has to do with teamwork! I don't understand why they didn't make it co op, but it's still fun playing both single and 2-player modes. It's also one of my favorite Sonic character's debut! E-123 Omega! I still think they should have put Mighty in the game, I don't know why they had to kick him out when he's a member of the Chaotix. And shouldn't Knuckles be in Team Chaotix, too? I still think this is better than many of the new Sonic titles, and, although the graphics aren't PS3 amazing, they're good for a PS2 game. The game's good for a Sonic fan at any age, you don't have to be a hardcore video gamer or a Sonic fan to love this game (although I'm both ^_^).
- No ability to save in the middle of the game, you have to save at the beginning of a level.

8319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This can be considered `the' WW2 strategy game for the PC, which single-handedly revived PC wargaming and forever changed the genre with its continuing influence. Even by today's standards, the game is fun, challenging and accessible, and still provides hours of gameplay even after all these years.
Each car handles differently but seems to control near perfectly when using Dual Shock Analog Controller. Your overall objectives in the league modes is to finish first and to score the most points. What can be better than slamming into the car in front of you and taking them out of the race? You will find yourself trying to score more and more points by wiping out the competion. This is a very fun aspect of this game.

The Visual Memory Unit (VMU): The VMU is quite possibly the most unique memory card I have ever seen,it has a screen a D-Pad,sleep button,mode button,and 2 face buttons. While your playing a game it displays either what game your playing,your health,or to choose plays in football,every game does different things. Some games even have mini games you can download onto the VMU. There are some downsides to the VMU and the number one thing is battery life,it takes 2 watch batteries that cost $5 a piece,here is the kicker,they don't last long at all! It would have been smarter to just make the VMU use 2 AA batteries instead,they are much cheaper and would have probably lasted longer (rechargeable would have lasted much longer). And the number 2 downside is the memory on the card is small! Only 200KB available for use (there is a way to unlock 44KB more) if your playing a sport game it can take as much as 164KB! Most games will only use 4-60KB's depending.
4684 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You've no doubt heard all of the glowing reviews of this game. So here's another: the gameplay, graphics, and sound are all top-notch and leagues above all those other 3D games. There is no excuse for not owning this, even if you didn't like other Castlevania games. People should get a Playstation for this game it's so good. It's just too bad that most people will right it off because it's "old-fashioned". Even worse, it hasn't sold well, so a true, 2D sequel isn't too likely to happen.

9. Special SNES logo land(94%)This is very HARD! Hard to find too.
The game is incredibly fun just in single player mode, moving through the missions, refining and perfecting your skill with each of the three groups. Where it shines for me, though, is when you take it into multiplayer and take on other humans. The possibilities are pretty much endless. With all the troop types, and the various ways to use them, you can always find a fresh, interesting challenge.

Over time, people haven't treated the Dino Crisis series with *nearly* as much respect as the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. It probably has something to do with Dino Crisis 3 being a really bad game with horrible camera angles, which meant, after that failed experiment hit the market, people weren't interested in any more Dino Crisis games. But, you know, even before Dino Crisis 3 was released, people didn't respect the Dino Crisis series as much as the other survival horror games. I really have no idea why. Dinosaurs can be *just* as cool as zombies. Believe me. Perhaps it has something to do with the animation? Even though killing dinosaurs is fun and addicting, Capcom made killing zombies slightly more interesting, thanks mainly to better animation from pointing and shooting your guns at a zombies head. It just looks and feels better in Resident Evil. This in NO WAY should be reason to avoid Dino Crisis. This also doesn't mean Dino Crisis is flawed in the shooting department. Both Resident Evil and Dino Crisis offer tons of enjoyment. TONS of enjoyment. They are just separate beasts.
3563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We're a 30-something couple who recently bought the Sega Dreamcast for our own gratification. It's a blast, although our constant complaint is that there's not enough games for it. (Of course.) We only want multiplayer games we can play with 2+ people and they are hard to come by, unfortunately. Our favorites so far are Sonic Adventure, Soul Caliber, and PowerStone - which we highly recommend. We wish the controllers were more comfortable... they don't have rubberized buttons and eventually hurt our fingers. Other than that, though, we appreciate the high level of interactivity, the beauty of the graphics, and the simplicity of the interfaces. It's a pretty good bang for your buck.
When I first got this It was around the time it first came out.
AoE2: the Age of Kings is a wonderful sequel for many reasons, the most significant being gameplay. Military units now have the desperately needed behavior and formation commands, making combat infinitely more interesting and fun. Garissoning units allows for better protection of your peasants (and better defense of your hometown), as well as allowing for ambushes. Farming is now more realistic, with farms that roll over any terrain and that are renewable at a click. Plus all the great multiplayer customization is back, with many splendid additions. Perhaps best of all, the military units are exquisitely balanced against each other, with each society having a unique unit that allows for varied and exciting combat.
Music: 4 stars:Really very good music. I espicially like the battle music and the ancient city/city of the ancients music. Oh, and the chocobo battle music.
Replay Value: 4.8
Don't get me wrong, SA has it's flaws. The most noticable is the sometimes awkward camera angles. However, the good outweighs the bad 10 to 1, and SA is a must-have for any Dreamcast owner.
SEGA BASS FISHING is a great game... I recommend this game!
The game also throws in a twist halfway through. Once you're done exploring the first castle you'll go to a "Reverse" castle in which everything is upside down. The game also has four different endings.
3605 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 i thought this would be a good console, i was very very dissapointed! it has very few good games, and the graphics aren't all that i expected from it,i sold my DC and now i am waiting for the x box.
2. Durability: Can last a lifetime
Just like in Shining Force, here you can promote your characters to better classes, although in Vandal Hearts you can do it twice: once at level 10 and a second time at level 20. Just like in Shining Force, some of your characters can have a choice of classes to which they can be promoted.
Aesthetically, there is something magical about the game. The island themes, rides, characters, color palette... all very intriguing. The art style is very cartoonish, but the gameplay is fairly realistic for a kids game - well balanced overall.
5236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MGS is one of the best games made for the playstation system, there are not many people who would disagree with that. Not only does the game of an enthralling plotline, great characters, and wonderful weapons, but the controls are easy and fun to use.
...NOT...
This boils down to the chances of prolonged nail-biting chases and well-earned escapes (or well-earned kills) is higher, where on the newer versions the sudden ambush is the chief encounter type.
another surprise was that this old old game is able to use my dual processor capability. it is running smooth on my desktop under xp. i can put my system to sleep and bring it out of standby without any issues. it's great that blizzard has continually upgraded this software so that it has not become dated.
645 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you liked Full Trottle and love LucasArts' games in general, you'll love this game. It's one of the funniest games I've ever played. The way all the charters talk hispanic is enough to me laugh out loud. Manny Calavera is the most likeable anit-hero you'll ever have the pleasure to control, in this fantastic Land of The Dead adventure game. Who said the adventure games was dead. Grim Fandango proofs them all wrong...
Crash 2 (5 Stars):
What I find odd is that the Death Adder boss counted as a separate stage, rather than entering the castle and the boss being in the same level like in the arcade version. And what just plain bothers me is how Sega recolored the viking/gnome's axe silver in this version, whereas the arcade version's axe is actually GOLD, like how the title is supposed to describe it.
7332 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the most beautifully crafted games I have ever seen. The controls are very natural and comfortable. The graphics are outstanding. The plot is entertaining. Sure to delight anyone who owns a saturn, a definate must buy. Loads and loads of nonstop fun. (Untill you turn it off...)

9940 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic styled Castlevaina game on a 16-bit system. Two characters to choose from and lots of levels in many different locations, not just Dracula's Castle. This is the only Castlevainia for the Genesis and was kind of overshadowed by it's brother game on the SNES, but this one is just as good. Good sound. Nice graphics. The controls are very good, but a bit closer to the original NES games than the SNES games.

9022 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Hi, everyone. I'm back! I am here to tell you my review of Donkey Kong Country. I didn't know about it until I recieved the Game Boy Color port for my birthday, and it was fun. I later on sold it and tried out the SNES original and it was better. It ts where the evil King K. Rool steals the bananas from Donkey Kong's hoard, and he and his friend Diddy Kong go on a search to get it all back. The graphics were groundbreaking for their time, and looked and played better than anything Sega put out, no offense, I am also a Sega fan. The gameplay was great and challenging. The bosses were neat as well. I also tried out the sequels, and the second seems a little better than its predecesor, and as for the third, well, a mixed bag! I would recommend the first two for your collection, but please rent the third before you buy it.
9928 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just too much fun. Yes it is true what some reviews say, that the sound and graphics are quite lacking for Genesis / Megadrive standards, however, what most reviews fail to to also note is that, Altered Beast was the FIRST original game that was packaged with every system in the beginning. I say, for it being one of the earliest games, it is done quite well actually.
such as final fantasy VII, the music in here is not that well conceived and memorable such as the earlier final fantasys. the boss music is sort of catchy (once again such as final fantasy VII), but the rest of the music is rather annoying.
Any fan of the Metroid series should give this game a try. (I would suggest those unfamiliar with the series try the original Metroid and/or Zero Mission first, however, unless one is a die-hard classic Gameboy fan.)
Control ...so easy
A proper perspective recognizes quirks as well as qualities. Despite four years to perfect it, a few noticeable flaws prevent *Max Payne* from receiving my five-star approval. Max can crouch, but he cannot creepinstead he automatically stands up and jogs. This makes things easier on the level designer, but harder on Max when he steps around a doorframe and gets shot in the face. Max also doesnt climb anything other than stairs, which again benefits the designer more than Max. While Payne is obviously meant to be a lone-wolf, it would have added to the suspension-of-belief if the levels were populated with friendly New York bums, bartenders, and bus drivers hiding from the snow. Finally, some of the levels felt a lot like those in Ravens *Soldier of Fortune*, but given the location, I think the similarities are unavoidable.
+ "Duke" as a character is great, adding humor to the game with his one-liners.
246 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it`s good.
Skies Of Arcadia
6016 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The game has many flaws in it making it almost unplayable. The most notable is the Anti-copy feature on the CD's themselves making it impossible for some CD and DVD drives to read. At present Blizzard has no plans to fix this feature. Also the graphics and lag time in both online and single play are bad. In order to get the game to play you will need to tinker with the drivers and system options to get it to work. Reminds me of the old days of DOS where a Boot Disk had to be created to change your memory options. The box reports a minimum of 32Meg of memory, I would think it is closer to 64Meg. If your character incounters a large amount of monsters it will bog way down and the monsters will kill you before you get a hit in. If you must absolutely have the game I would wait a month for the problems to be fixed. There are already 2 patches in less then 2 weeks with number 3 in the works.
Silent Hill works to scare you in so many ways a horror enthusiast that doesn't even play video games would find it worth their while to buy a PS2 just to play the series (at least the first 3 games). It's the one game that got me into gaming in the first place.
Some would even go so far to argue that Killer Instinct is actually the best fighting game of this era. While this claim is merely an opinion, it's definitely worth noting that it is at least as great as the best Mortal Kombat game. The backgrounds were very nicely animated and the music was vastly superior. All the character sprites look good, and the characters were pretty unique and cool. However, I would be remiss if I did not mention the major selling point of this game, which is it's unique and fantastic combo-fighting system.
this game takes forever to beat. Some may think this is a nusance but its filled with many many wonderful levels of fun
9978 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Did not like it. It did not play at all. I put it in the Sega Genesis and the only thing that came up when I turned it on was a red screen. Tried it many other times, outcome still the same.
6515 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazing package! Final Fantasy is awesome and FF6 is one of the best games ever made. Ever
8477 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is designed exceptionally well for an rpg the story line is engages you, the battles aren't super repeative some enemies have super powered moves you don't expect. Plus you can only carry a limited amount of items. The major down fall to this game is it's always been expensive 50 or 60 dollars when it first came out. Now you can get it used for like 40 but people can beat the game in 4 hours if you really rush it and most can in under 10 hours. Aside from that this is a rare that you will actually want to get into battles to look at the great graphics. Plus the expected funny and challanging events make it fun as well. A good game but maybe not worth the price, wish it were longer.
The Ugly:
Allow me to explain :
3671 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AFTER A FRIEND LENT ME THIS GAME , I WAS TOTALLY HOOKED ! I WENT RIGHT OUT AND BOUGHT IT , AS WELL AS '' TEKKEN 2 '' .

AS WELL AS NEW COSTUMES AND CHARACTERS TO UNLOCK . AND IT'S FAST PACED TOO ! JUST LIKE ''SOULBLADE ''!! SO IF YOU WANT A GREAT GAME , REASONABLY PRICED , THAT 'LL HAVE YOU PLAYING FOR HOURS ON END ; THEN GO OUT AND GET IT ! EVEN IF IT'S THE ONLY FIGHTING GAME YOU GET ! AND ALSO GET '' SOULBLADE '' AND '' TEKKEN TAG TEAM '' FOR THE PS 2 . FIGHTING WAS NEVER SO MUCH FUN !!!
1290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nostalgic as hell. Old school gamers for life.
The magic and summons have sounds to them also. When you have a larger leveled magic the sound lasts longer. Because the bigger the magic the longer it takes to finish its use. Each of the summons makes a noise when they perform their duties. Such as when Ifrit sets out his meteor fire ball I am sure you can imagine the big explosion noise that gargantuan rock lets out. When you use items they make noises too, nothing special though just a nice little ring to let you know that you have used it I guess. When you fill up your limit break bar it makes a noise to let you know you're ready to use it, but if the sound doesn't let you know I'm sure the bright flash of fire around your character should get your attention. Every little noise you should notice and remember the rest of your measly life. If you don't then I guess you're not as big of a loser you thought you were now huh. So to Nobuo I thank you for giving us this wonderful piece of art you call the FFVII soundtrack. I am sure that everyone would agree with me.
Besides, you take on the role of James Bond. James Bond! The hero that defined action! This game is not dull, and at times it is so scary when you are overswarmed by a bunch of enemies in one small room.

6323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The system works incredibly well and i needed to beat mario 64 or i was sure to collapse hehe .
I bought this game out of boredom, and I think that I paid about $... for it. If you like the TV show, then don't pay any more than that. But, if you see it on the rack real cheap, then hey, pick it up.
In the Special Stage, you go through a rotating maze where you have to reach the end of the maze, in which where you find the Chaos Emerald, and you reach the emerald by breaking through jewels encircling the emerald. You have to keep yourself distanced from the "Goal" areas, which take you out of the Special Stage.
6. Highly addictive gameplay and plus you won't stop until you beat the game.
I have so many peeves about this game, it's nuts. What difference is tehre between the gun and the instrument??? They both unlock things. Why did Rare feel it necessary to have two things that can work switches??
The gameplay is amazing it's jam packed with great details, the videos/movies show the real story. Each character has a story inside the game so it shows why they play a part in the game.
5364 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 works as advertised! powers up my ps3 without any discernable issues
Lots of automobiles available but their features are different from each other..I think that driving in manual transmission is easier than driving in automatic mode (I cannot control the car well!! Argh!!)..I'm pretty lousy at racing games but I love this one...The sounds are well done but for the graphics, it's still a pixel frame.
1871 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For those who don't know this is the very first Spyro game. This is such an awesome game.
The MISSION EDITOR, included in the game, adds another level of flexibility to the game (if you have the time and the will to learn how to use it). However, if you are interesetd, there are some free manuals on how to use the editor on the web.
If you appreciate long lasting playability and can only buy one game in this genre, UT, I submitt, should be your choice.
* Instead of a lot of units, the units instead are basic, but EXTENSIVE mods can be researched and added to basic units to form new capabilities. This helps avoid the "warrior vs machinegun syndrome"
When I think of this game, in my head I hear the female computer voice say "Force wall." :)
Overall: (5/5) - Get this game if it's the only game you'll ever own! I've replaced my CD 3 times now in 4 years because of extensive gameplay! The price is righter than right I would have payed 3x the price!
It runs ok in my old video card a nvidia 7600,
If you like the humor of Monkey Island and are a fan of zork you'll enjoy this game, or even if you just want to play an adventure game with a light mood and good quality graphics.
Constants scares.
In single-player, you assume the role of either Stan, Cartman, Kenny, or who I always pick, Kyle. Each comes with their own insults and comments. As you progress, you find Kenny, Cartman, and Stan, and they come with you, but you can't play as or with them. They just allow you to hold more weapons and item (I guess that's because it's four pairs of hands). Your first mission is to destroy the turkeys; and ultimatly, the gigantic, robo-turkey. Without cheats, you start with a snowball, or you can advance it, and make it a "yellow snowball" (and if you've seen Jackass, you know what that is). The other weapons are a cow launcher, a toy-machine gun, and more. Sooooo much more.
If you like this one then check out the 2nd one as well for more options, new board games and mini-games as well as new gameplay features. However, some mini games and boardgames in this version are really great so give em both a go!
Also many people that have played Counter Strike will also enjoy this because this game is where the concept came from because if Half Life didn't exist Counter Strike would never exist at all. Many CS players especially international CS Players don't even know about half life and that is just plain sad lol but oh well they are missing out on a great game.
1131 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thinking back on the times of Zelda, have got me thinking. The game was absolutely breath taking, I remember how fun and exciting it was, and it was so good, because of the challenge. If there is still anyone who has not played and beaten this game, please get it, it is totally worth the money. Then in 4 or 5 years, you too can think of what a great game Zelda was, but then you will feel bad for neglecting your Nintendo 64 and playing your PS2, but PS2's time for neglection will come in a few years also.
309 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good product.works great for the many systems and players we have and for the price you sure cant beat it.
4950 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great, I had it a few years ago for N64. The dialogue and sound effects are hilarious, the stages are fun and challenging. It is not like some newer games that only take a few hours to beat all the way through. There are fun "missions" in the towns, my favorite was always finding all the little kids playing hide and seek. This is also a great game for 2 players because you can actually work together instead of against each other and you can jump in at any time during a stage. Overall this game is exellent! If you like games like mario or zelda, this game is for you. And it is funny! I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone that has not played it.
The Good- I'll be a geezer if I say everything.
5392 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game arrived quickly and works great. Love the doom series, been playing it for years, and will continue to play it.
7834 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my first exposure to the Sim City Franchise, as I didn't have a computer until college. Loved it! Learned about problem solving; how do you keep crime low, taxes low, unemployment low, and your approval rating high? Lots of experimenting with zones and city gifts! Spent many hours playing this over one summer in middle school and learned a lot. And when I got tired of building.....had a lot of fun blowing up my city with earthquakes, plane crashes, and tornadoes!!

The dinosaurs you hunt are varied, each offering a uniuqe challenge. The Parasarlophosis for example, is harmless, but has an excellent sense of hearing and can detect you from a mile away, making it almost impossible to find one. The Triceratops is peaceful, but if you disturb it (or shoot it) from close range, its going to come after you and stomp you to death. And of course, the meat eating dinosaurs want to eat you, and all of them have excellent senses of smell, so be carefull!
3 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game, I love it and have played it since its arrived
when he gets stuck you can't move him, or make him jump, and he takes damage and gets crunched. i don't know why the patches never resolved this problem.
even in 2012 ill play alter beast every now and then...and its always a great time..
2067 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is basically just you controlling Flik and steering away from "bad" bugs and collecting points and power ups to win. I bought the game because I enjoy Toy Story on the Game Boy and figured PS1 action is just as fun. Well, I was mostly right. Here's the pros and cons:
--You don't use MP. Instead, you "draw" magic (and occasionally summon monsters) from enemies.
6717 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like X-Men 2: Clone Wars video game. It is a lot of fun and better than the first X-Men game on Genesis.
Great graphics.
That's one thing to think about this game. There are parts where some things can be difficult to jump over, such as that one giant boulder in a later pyramid level. You have to jump straight over it. There are also some things that you must figure out by toying around with the nearest buttons and switches you find.

However, like RE3, it makes up the lack of health with a crap load of ammunition. If you play your cards right, nearly half of your inventory at the end of the game, before the final boss, will be back with guns and ammunition. Your classic RE weapons are here, Shotgun, Handgun, Grenade Launcher, etc, but so many new types are added it's not funny!
4890 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Easily the best RPG I have ever played. Graphics are not the best, but the battle system, immersive storyline, great music, detailed cities, and unique characterizations are phenomenal. Unlike many future RPG's, the load times for Suikoden 2 are very short, most likely due to the substandard graphics. If you can get over the graphics, the rest of the gameplay is incredible. The plot is unforgettable, and collecting the 108 stars of destiny is challenging and fun. Many side-quests, secrets, and player choices make this RPG one of my favorites to this day. Suikoden 2 is a classic.
f you liked this game, check out DKC 2 & DKC 3
Other than that, this game is really good and will keep you playing it forever. The story is really good and the rest of the game is good, I will not spill details, although most of you have already gotten the game and beaten it. Well i must go, hope you enjoyed the review...
Wow. Talk about gouging.
my final thoughts Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is a great sequel and I hope Sonic's third game is just as great as many other Sonic games
Are you a pokemon fan? Buy. this. game.
-- The few parts that are too hard
3132 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The graphics are dated and the story's mediocre. The game is still good. Let's face it, people. There will never be a perfect RPG, but this one is good. You've all heard the story, yet here's what's great about it. Really good side quests, beliveable charecters, and beatiful movies. What's bad is the plot, the graphics, and the last boss. That's it. Goodbye.
Very comfortable controller!

5018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a Brilliant game and one of the best games I have ever played. A master peace from start to end
Not that this game is bad but I wanted the one star rating to get everyone's attention and let them know they have better options when its comes to srpgs.
Brilliant! As those Guiness guys would say...
Even if you don't care about competitive play, patches solved hacks.
the story is good but not as good as reident evil i don't like spoiling the story so you will have to buy the game and see it for your self

It also has two superbosses at the end of the game, Ultima and Omega weapon , the last one, being the most difficult monster in the whole game and it's optional to fight him. The best about this game , is that the ending is perfect.
6861 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome
1265 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is where it all started. If your and old school gamer you've probably already played this. And if not it is a great game. If your a GTA fan but haven't played this it is a must to truly understand how great and innovated this series is and has become. If your not a fan of old school gaming though you may not like it.

5076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I got Silent Hill for Playstation, I knew I was going to like it, but I didn't expect it to be so scary! The opening was really cool. It got the scariest when I got to the school and little zombie children were chasing me around with knifes.
Challenge: Find hidden red coins and Yoshi eggs in levels from the original game
Ocarina of Time offers a little bit more "extras" than the previous Zelda titles have to offer. You can collect extra items along the way for personal score to see how good your discovering ability is, and not just finding pieces of hearts. There are so many secrets with this game.
The Playstation One is a smaller version of the same unit - portable and soon to come out with a portable LCD screen. Both play any game from the Playstation One library. While CDs do hold more data than cartridges, they load a bit more slowly, so often there is a second lag between scenes as the new scene loads into memory.
One of the highlights of the Suikoden series in general is the fact that
2092 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Decided to start collecting old-time PS1 games and this one is a must have. I remember playing this constantly throughout my childhood.
Final Fight 3 is actually the fifth game in the series that made side-scrolling beat-the-hell-out-of-em genre so popular in the very late eighties and early nineties: Final Fight Revenge was released on the Sega Saturn in Japan and Mighty Final Fight was released on the 8-Bit Nintendo Entertainment System in the NES's final years.
Grand Prix Legends has become even more fun, it's not that hard to drive with some heel and toe, since I learned how to change the original AI to get them to go slower. AI is the abbreviation for the other computer cars. This was a must, if you ask me, because it changed the game from a documentary of great driving by the likes of Jim Clark, to a playable game. I followed on-line instructions from a game players' community forum (there's multiple forums sites) and changed the "global_hype_scaling" of each AI driver in the "driv65" file to 1.0. According to what I have read, the driver's files have to be changed to 1.0 to get it to run with the GEM 2+'s AI control. I have changed The AI in the GEM 2+ control panel to 1.4. I've now won two races and changed the AI setting to 1.3 for the next race to give the AI a little more chance. I would guess the other mods are changed the same way. Jim Clark was 0.15 which made him, and others with similar settings, unbeatable before the adjustment.
8283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic game! Really good graphics for its time. Challenging game with interesting plot and unique bosses. Really fun to play with Super Advantage Joystick.
5043 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has been on my hard drive for over 2 years, and not a week goes by that I don't play it. It's amazing!
Humans you meet don't speak a lick of english & also make a annoying fake gibberish.
Resident Evil 2 offers a lot of replay value. There are hidden items and other goodies you may not see during your first run, and I highly recommend trying both possible scenarios (Leon A/Claire B and Claire A/Leon B) for the game before moving onto other games in the series. There are also secret game modes and weapons to unlock in this game.
9458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rage wars is extreamly fun. When buddys of mine come over we play it non stop and play to the death. One time we played it for like 4 hours and we still didn't get bored of it.
This is for the Water Purification Puzzle towards the very end of the game. (If you tried something diffrent and got it, please email me tstrong2999@aol.com)
8866 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have spent hours and hours playing this game. This is my favorite game in the Metroid series.
I can't think of anything else to talk about... oh wait, yes, those big ugly nasty bosses you have to fight are SO COOL! Kraid, as you've read by now, is a drastic improvement over his appearance in the original NES Metroid because now he takes up TWO SCREENS! Back in the day this was known as the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, to bring back a complaint from early in my review, Kraid can be defeated by using only a few super missiles. Once again, this is making the game too darn EASY and Nintendo should have made Kraid, along with the rest of the bosses, harder to defeat. They should have made Kraid like in the original Metroid, where you were required to waste a LOT of regular missiles in order to defeat him. I love fighting that octopus-looking thing in the Wrecked Ship level. That thing is cool. Ridley is awesome and packs a mean punch. He's my favorite boss battle because it's all about power versus power. The Mother Brain is an absolute JOKE to fight. Even if you only manage to find 100 missles (there's 230 of them total) she's STILL a simple boss fight, and this includes BOTH her incarnations. Heck, in her second form when she changes into something bigger and badder, she's actually easier!
Gameplay: 4 of 10
This game can be picked up and played by anyone but trust me...on the more difficult settings this is no button masher.
Materia System: One of the best magic systems I have encountered to date. While you won't use all the materia you buy/find. Its the reward of seeing that glowing green/blue/red/yellow/purple stone that makes you fight to get it and see what it is. Summons are excellent with great animation for the time it was made. Knights of the Round was very long to summon, but the damage and wait is well worth it.
The graphics were nice, and the cut scenes were above average. The voices sounded good, and the combat was a little fast, but adequate.
Cons:
There are times when this game is extremely scary. It's designed to frighten you, and at times it accomplishes this goal very well. The music is mostly techno, but it's scary techno. That might not make sense to you, but trust me, it can be very intimidating at times.
From prisons to deserts to forests to outer space, this game takes you places that most Final Fantasy games have never done previously.
5160 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was way ahead of its time.
Mine was a used copy that arrived complete and in a condition that is comparable to a new copy.
Popularity was the cause of the Dreamcast demise. Even today with all the games out on Playstation 2 it still doesn't beat Dreamcast's feel and wonder of what the games were like. Dreamcast may have died but it will still live on as one of the greatest consoles to ever grace the earth. The graphics were ahead of it's time and so were the games. The gaming Library for Dreamcast it just awesome and I can name a few Classic must own titles..
5284 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I have little patience when it comes to games like this. Makes me wish I hadn't bought it and I am still trying to get rid of it. Before buying take mine I will mail it to you before I hurl it through the wall. EGM said this was a good game and usually they are right. Well they blew it this time. Don't get me wrong it might be fun. Good concept, interesting story, Terribly frustrating gameplay and absolutely ridiculous boss fights. I never knew the playstation load time to be this irritating until I died 50 times in a row. O' YE OF LITTLE PATIENCE AVOID THIS ONE!
9566 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Me and my brother play for few times. we keep this as our collection. I recommend this game for other.
I'll admit it. I've never been that good as rhythm and music games, despite my love for them. I could never beat Space Channel 5 1 or 2 despite countless hours of practice. And I don't think I ever achieved "COOL" ranking in Parappa. I did however, achieve that ranking in this game a couple of times, and once you do it is one of the coolest things in any video game, kind of like obtaining invincibility for a minute. Basically, as the game song progresses your accuracy either makes you gain or lose rank, and if you DO obtain the top ranking of "COOL", you can freestyle however you want in a solo. It is just so incredibly cool playing a music instrument with just a regular controller. The next closest thing I can think of is the percussion jamming you can do while shooting down enemies in Rez. There's just something really wonderful about creating your own improvisations to music (and if you're never gonna make it playing a real instrument or in a band for that matter, it may be the only solo time you get in life). True, it's no rock band, but the two games are apples and oranges, and this game is decidedly Japanese.
Lasting Appeal B
STORYLINE: One of the most intricate that I have ever played. The storyline rivals that of Albert Odyssey, which I regarded as being the greatest RPG before I played this. What initially begins as a fight to destroy an evil corporation becomes an entire journey towards revenge and the defending of things greater than the world. 10/10
The maps are gorgeous, and even better, there are lots of other maps out there to get. Other mods are great fun to play with, I particularly like playing with relics. I've become a real master at grabbing the skull and then going in and letting myself get killed (I'm good at getting killed) to take out a whole slew of enemies. Whether it's sitting in the sniper's nest and getting to hear that "GODLIKE" call, running in, grabbing the flag and making it back alive with 4 enemies after you, scoring an ultra kill, or what not, it's all great fun.
My only grudge with the games are the casts 'American' accents. Although the voice-over cast tried to put on their best American Voices, you can still hear hints of British accents in there, but who really cares?
6346 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is my system of all time. It has great games like 007,turok,star wars, and more! So buy it.
6584 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF6 is by far my favorite game ever made. no gaming experience has ever come close to matching the joy i felt while playing this game. I would surely trade in all the halos gears of war etc for this game. From the phenominal storyline, to the lovable cast of characters, this game is perfect. the only thing wrong is that since this game is now on cd it has load times now unlike its cartridge original.
3770 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rules! My fifth favorite Sonic game! Your asking what the mistakes are? Well, when Sonic and Knucles talk, their eyes move up and down. Some of the stupid stuff (but funny) is when Sonic dies, he spins around like he is dancing and says, "Oh no." in a perfectly calm voice. And when Knucles falls off of a clif he screams, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHW" and it really made me laugh. If you want to laugh really loud, when you are facing Sonic (when you are knucles) when he says, "I've had enough of this!", hit him right then. Then it will sound really stupid. "I've had enough of this,Oh no!" And when you race sonic (as tails) when he passes you he says, "HOWWAY (no, i'm serious, he says HOWWAY instead of HORRAY)!" or "Cya later Tails!" But when you pass him, he says, "HEY HEY HEY!" it is so freakin funny! Or he says, "Alright Tails!" But, this game is still very awesome. The game play rocks! And how come I am the only one who notices the dumb and funny stuff in the Sonic Adventure seires?
Overall if you haven't played this you are definitely missing out, and if you have played from this series before, you should try this one because it is a different and great game on its own, that still stands up to some of the "free-roam" do anything types of games that exist today.
- Pandemic has re-written the original story. In the first game, it was the Russians that created the Furies, not the US.
There's a little something that makes this game even scarier- the sound of hearing an enemy coming closer to you but not being able to find it. Many times it will be too late and the enemy will have found you first, and you'll take an unexpected blow. That's not to say the game is a frustrating experience with enemies coming out of nowhere cheap-shotting you, but occasionally it will happen, and this makes the game a LOT of fun. It makes the atmosphere so real and intense you can almost taste it. If you like entering the world of survival horror and thriller movies, this is the game for you.
Speaking of seeing, the presentation is absolutely something to behold! Admittedly, graphics such as character textures have shown their age and can only be seen as crude at this point, but everything is decidedly colorful and detailed, and some of the levels are coupled with some of the catchiest video game musics I've ever had the pleasure of listening to (Okay, maybe that's a bit of a bold claim, but...It's just amazing)! And when all is done in a level (unless you backtrack to do a mission you didn't complete), moving on to the next level rewards you with a FMV clip straight from the Toy Story 2 film (although with a few vocal differences in certain clips, I notice). It's always a treat to watch these scenes.
7744 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Super Star Wars games are amazing licensed games for the SNES. The gameplay is excellent, the controls are fluent, and it feels really good when you hit an enemy. It's awesome sidescrolling action.
4885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Suikoden II is surprisingly one of the last classic 2-Dimensional JRPGs
This is a pretty good game, but not for SNES!
6774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is amazing! It's graphics exceed even the great Super mario world. It's speed is just scary! And the Gameplay! Well, the story is a bit weak, but that's the only thing wrong with this game! The levels go:
It sucks that Ubisoft has yet to make a proper sequel to the Rayman series. Though, he is not as popular as Mario and Sonic, Rayman proved that he too can be a worthy mascot and with this game, it shows. If you haven't played it yet, now is your chance as you can find it for a good price. Trust me when I say you will get your money's worth and shows that having an expansion pack comes in handy.
Want an imbalanced, infinite resource crazy fun map?
Xizors Palace: 10/10 - The hardest level in the game, but really fun and the Gladiator Droid is very tough.
The PROS: For Rare to bring this game to the SNES and have it turn out as good as what Capcom did to the home port of Street Fighter II a few years before, it was quite impressive. The core game, complete with all the characters, stages and moves is intact and inside the massive, black 32 megabit cartridge. The graphics, music, sound effects and game play are worth seeing in person. The controls are very responsive and it's just a matter of memorizing the moves before you learn how to play and get better. The game will become more difficult once you raise it so prepare to fight hard. Adding the extra modes means you can get all your friends in on the action making it a fun game to play. As an special treat, Rare included a bonus music CD of the game's soundtrack and remixed tracks exclusively for the SNES version.

9272 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game resembles Secret of Mana in so many ways . . . but this isn't a bad thing. That game had one enjoyable battle system; Evermore's is that with the twists of alchemy and currency. Alchemy was a unique system that required one to gather ingredients for the casting of a certain spell--the more powerful requiring much rarer items in higher quantities. This intrigued me to no end in SOE's heyday, and still conjures faint chills of nostalgia upon reflection. I mention currency because the fact that money types changed was, for some indescribable reason, very cool. It didn't mean much to the overall game experience, but its very existence was so unique that I very much enjoyed it. Finally, there is a shop relying almost solely upon barter in the game--you have to trade numerous items to acquire special relics that enhance you power or skill. This is a, though not required, helpful diversion and serves to add a little more innovative flair to an already shining game. This isn't the only source of these relics, but many can be obtained there. If an action RPG sporting a solid battle system, unique humor reliant on made up movies, and a diverse twist on magic are your thing, then this game delivers a 5 star experience.
377 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked this game alot, it's challenging and it took me awhile to beat (longer than most other games). I do recommend buying the strategy guide because it's easy to miss alot. Anyways if you like the original Myst you'll love this. Great graphics, only flaws was there was a glitch here and there but nothing major.
Challenge: 10/10
This is a must have for old-school game boy collectors.
Next,I recommend buying the Strategy Guide. This game is what gamers call "Nintendo Hard". It's a challenging game,with quite a number of puzzle parts.
What is inside is the story of Cloud Strife; an ex-soldier turned mercenary who is drawn into the struggle between Avalanche, a revolutionary group, and Shinra, a rapacious company that is rapidly draining the resources of the planet. Starting out in the city Midgar the battle moves back and forth across the planet, as Cloud gathers team members, accessories and power. Everyone has a history, often mysterious, and an important role to play.
1933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My friends and I got this when it first came out so long ago in like 99 or something like that. Might have been earlier too. Anyways, I played it through myself on Leon first and the game had an amazing storyline and the RPG part of the game is amazing. There are a few challenging mini puzzles which can be very annoying, much like Zelda, but once you get past them all is well again. I would highly recommened this game to anyone, and compared to the gore they have in nowadays games, this is nothing.
4660 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item as described. A pleasure to do business with! !!
Very impressive, with smooth animations and the requisite cool lightning effects.
The flames continue to burn on impact, and there is a whole variety of weapons, moves, and stuff to do or use. Many of the characters or levels are challenging, but not too difficult, and the enemy AI is so so. But the game has a few flaws as well.
Levels:Designed great. Long and Perty.
5) Just plain fun
First, the "blown away" part. The graphics are simply breathtaking. I particularly took special notice to the dance scene between Rinoa and Squall. Also, I certainly loved the opening to the game. However, me and my friends started to mock it for its long, long intro (believe me, if you want to restart your game, be prepared to be patient). The designs are very lovely, the the beginning confused me (I didn't know she could change flower petals into feathers??!!). During the "epic battle" sequences, the graphics are also very good. But during regular gameplay, it starts lacking just a bit.
Now that there are 4 players, the 2-4 Player modes can be pretty fun, especially 2-Player since it has all the options from 1-Player Mode.
I hope we can live another generation like that one.
4003 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This thing does nothing but shake the heck out of your arms when you play. It is at times comical. It makes your controller rattle, you hear shaking noises, and feel like you are having some sort of seizure.
1953 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my opinion this is the best Resident Evil yet, although I have still not played Code Veronica. If you're going to buy a Playstation Resident Evil title get this one. It is by far the longest one also.
1471 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Castlevania 64" offers you the experience of seeing a Castlevania adventure in a free-roaming, 3-D realm. I have played every Castlevania game right back to the NES days, and this is a good addition to a fine series. This is a great game, but not as good as "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" for Playstation.
7867 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Enjoying playing this game with no complaints. Met my expectations and would do business again with this seller again.
6770 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My cousin had this game back in the day. I used to borrow it all the time. I would love to play it again. :)
But all in all, this is a fantastic game. Lots of depth, thrills, and scares. Sadly, this title is out of print, so grab it if you can find it. But it comes with a warning, it is violent and disturbing. Use with caution.
59 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 best idea to put all these books in a collectors case.
Characters:4 stars: I like most of the characters, except for Yuffie. Here is a hint, don't look for her if you get this game.
5740 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy VIII is one of my favorite video games. The characters are so life like and so are the monsters. You can turn your enemies into collectors cards wich is a unique and interesting feature in this game. It takes some getting used to at first, but then it is a rewarding and challenging game once you into it. I got stuck at a pretty much advanced stage in the game,as where I could not solve a certain challenging event. I waited for my son to come visit to help me solve that particular part of the game. When he finally came, he had brought me a new video game. I wanted to start the new game first, instead of letting him help me with Final Fantasy VIII. In that process the new game was saved over my advanced level of Final Fantasy VIII game. You can imagine how horrible I felt. Now I had to start a whole new game. It is exasperating. I hope nobody else makes the same stupid mistake I did. It's a tough game to play but also very rewarding.
8471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game that started it all: Street Fighter 2: Champion edition. One of the best and one of the reasons that we remember Sega to this day. Almost exactly like the Arcade (that was in countless Laundry Mats around the world in the early 90s), except no need for coins. lol
2637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got my Game Boy Color for Chrsitmas last eyar along with several games. This is by afr the best handheld system availible price-wise. The system is...cheaper than teh new Game BOy Advance if you buy it used and the games are ...cheaper as well. The graphics may not be top notch, but don't let that fool you. There many great games including the traditional Nintendo games like Donkey Kong Country and Mario games, sports games liek Madden, All-Star Baseball and Ronaldo Soccer. There is a huge library of games with hudnreds availible. ...This is way better than the bulky Game Boy and much lighter and smaller. THe only problem with it is the buttons are to close and too small which causes a problem for people with big hands like me.
8282 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My favorite game
For every ten levels you advance, you can choose a path of study for your character. For example, when your archer reaches level 10, you can either have him become a Bowman (a more skilled archer) or a Hawknight (a flying, spear-wielding character). Since your characters can be different every time you play, Vandal Hearts has some unprecedented replay value.
My copy came in very good condition without scratches or writing
All in all, this is a great game. While it blends some realism in, it is still an action game in its heart. The story is interesting, design well thought out and the graphics are sweet. You won't regret picking this one up.
9413 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't believe I let a game like this go undiscovered for so long. Gunstar Heroes was released on the Mega Drive/Genesis back in 1993 but I'd never heard of the game until a few years ago. None of the magazines I read at the time featured any reviews or ads either so it was surprising to see so many positive reviews. I still have a Mega Drive, but the asking price for the complete set is often far too expensive. But when I saw it for only 2.49 on the PlayStation Network I knew it was a bargain I couldn't turn down.
All in all, "Thousand Arms" is a fantastic RPG and should be seriously considered by any serious RPG fan. While games like the "Final Fantasy" series and "Chrono Cross" are landmarks in the genre, "Thousand Arms" tries to bring a breath of fresh air into the RPG market, and it succeeds on virtually every level. Nothing can compare to this game, because it's just too unique.
The force feedback through the Rumble Pak makes the game feel more intense.
4657 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Monopoly on the Nintendo 64 is great. Most people just say "all it is is boring ol' Monopoly." To be honest, it's not. I never got bored while playing this game. It has so much appeal. The graphics are great, the music is solid, the gameplay is fun, even if you're playing against the computer. The only reasons I gave it 4 stars is that all it is, well, is just Monopoly. If they added more stuff, I would love it even more.
2612 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this I think there is something going on with it I am giving it 1 star not very good when I play the pikachu yellow version game I keep on hearing static and fuzzy noises not a very good hand held device this is not a very good hand held device don't waste your money if I were you I would keep my money I made a mistake of buying this I would not recommened this system to anyone
9740 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not as good as twisted metal 2 or twisted metal black. Did anyone notice the poster of a naked girl in the stage where you fight in the kids room and it has the hot wheel tracks? There is a poster on the wall somewhere of a nude girl. Anyway, good game.
In this game, you play as Link as he grows from a child into a young man while on his quest to defeat Ganon and save the world from ultimate, evil rule. Along the way, you meet many friends and face amazing boss battles.
in thos big original PS1 cases.
Graphics - Quite good.
The thing that makes Riven so beautiful is that there are living creatures around you now. You can walk around one corner and see a frightened group of villagers runing away from you and hiding, you can catch a child peeking out at you from around a corner, bugs crawl on the walls, and large sea mammals bask on rocks at the beach.

4655 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although this is not a game, this program does give you the opportunity to be the "Producer", "Engineer" and "DJ". I recommend this for anyone that's thinking about getting into doing studio music because this is very similar to many computer based sampling/editing/music writing programs. Have fun!!
In the game, you play Mario, and you must go on a quest to restore the Star Road back to normal. You must collect seven star pieces that have been scattered all around the Mushroom Kingdom. As you progress through the game, you join up with Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Princess Toadstool.
4933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We have all played Civ 2, because this is a winner of all the games so far. The Gold edition goes step beyond. Principally it hasn't changed, but it has extras, and a lot of them. I must mention a lot of different scenarios, possibilities to make your own scenarios (yes, not just maps!) and a huge manual, which describes virtually everything. We (Civ 2 fans)will again sit for hours in front of our gray boxes with red eyes and if anyone will look at us will shortly realize that we are completely insane. If I may phrase one famous cartoon character:'What will we do tomorrow night?' 'The same thing we do every night: Try to take over the world!'
Yuzo Koshiro's jazzy score was mind-blowing! It completely immersed you in the seedy nightlife and underworld the game took place in. Even with this simple 16-machine SOR2 showed just how cool the music could still be.
Buy this game NOW.
4083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Man o man this is an excellent game. This is thee best first person shooter i have ever played. Most first person shooters don't really have a plot its just shoot everything around and don't think twice about it. In half life there is a deep and interesting plot. Its still shoot everything in site but it has a plot and that's important. It is also nice to be able to use security gaurds and scientists. Ever since i got the game i haven't been able to put it down yet. The add on counterstrike is even more addicting yet. All and all it is a great game and a must have.
The game is great, and if you win with a 100 per-cent then you are the man!
Buy it and be preparad to lose some time of you life, because this game is addictive.
You can describe the multi-player in this game in one word: Perfection. Every character handles differently, and has a unique personality. Every levels has short-cuts and a unique look and feel. The four-player graphics are remarkably fast, detailed, and smooth for being on a 64-bit system. And the controls really are perfect. And since you have to get bananas to go faster, find and hit every speed boost pad you can, and collect balloons for offense and defensive power-ups, you can never let your guard down. Each and every level can be experienced a variety of different ways. You can play every level reversed, and you can try every level with cars, hover-crafts, and planes (and players can even use diffent vehicles on the same course at the same time!). When this game came out it won awards for technical achievement. They were well deserved. I do not think there has ever been a split-screen racing game to match it. Not in gameplay, not in graphical prowess, and certainly not in fun factor. A great game for kids and adults. No N64 owner who loves multi-player games should be without it!
4845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great.
One of the things that makes playing an online game is the sense of community that one gets with other online players. While you are fragging away you get to meet people from all over the place. Entire sites have been created where gamers help gamers and sometimes they get together and talk about everything having to do with Q2. Other times they talk about sports, but the sense of a gaming community is there.
I've created and built many high-level characters. The game doesn't get boring in a hurry and I've found replay to be extremely high. There are so many challenges and so many routes to go that it forces you to put a lot of thought into your character.
Diablo II is much more challenging as that bug has been resolved. The graphics are improved and the ability to learn only a certain number of skills adds a real strategic portion to the game.
6117 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good game so far, it's just like the american versions, when you pick a Pokemon, your rival chooses its weakness (since this is green I picked bulbasuar and the rival chose charmander) I lost the first fight he kept going first with scratch and once he used growl 1 time my attack was very weak against him, I remember always in U.S. Red and Blue always winning (still own a copy of Blue and months ago I won the first battle easily) The plot for green seems the same, I know only English and Spanish, my Japanese is horrible so every time I see the Japanese texts I have no idea what it's saying. I noticed the best way is to try each move, save the game before you pick up an item and teach it to your Pokemon, save it after leveling up once or save it after leveling up a few times so when it learns a new move and it already knows 4 of them, you can see if it was worth teaching your pokemon and what the move does
1358 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The kids play this game at least once a week since they've had it so yes its worth the money

5253 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The story of the game with it accompanying video sequwnces make the gamer feel as though they are almost playing a movie. THis is just one of the great elements of Metal Gear Solid. Another thing that makes this game unique is that instead of just running around and shooting every enemy that comes your way, you instead must rely on stealth if you're to be successful. Finally, the most rewarding aspect of this game is it's near perfect gameplay, which is about as faultless as a game can get. THis is one of the must have games for Playstation.
4. Hard-core Nukem action, shooting, and exploration
-The CG in this game is just wonderful
The downfalls are that it did not have Yokozuna or Bam Bam Bigalo like the Arcade,PC, Sega version's for some reason. But it honestly had a lasting quality over the rest for me untill I found the PC version.
8912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Old school fun
What turned me off was the "kina cheezy sci fi" story. It didn't have the same spooky feeling Resident Evil 1 had in story...which causes me to take off one star...Well yeah it was a stupid move just for that but hey that's my opinion...
+Reliable as long as you play legit software (Tip:CD-R's will burn out your Dreamcast laser)
Graphics are like most Squeenix games are now: amazing (Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution, Deus Ex, Sleeping Dogs - they nail it HARD). Played on ULTRA at 1600p and it's a beast. It taxes the ASUS 290x even more than Tomb Raider, but I don't think it looks any better, so maybe not optimized as well. Regardless, stunning.
7736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World was my favorite SNES game as a kid. The cartridge I received was in good condition and still had saved data on it. I went ahead and replaced the save battery with a new one. I was able to retain the save data by attaching a 2nd battery to the cartridge before replacing the original.
And why, in the year 2000, with all the great computer games out there and the high level of coding in those games, are we still playing so-called 3D space combat games in 2 dimensions? I do not care if they is based on the Starfleet Battles board game, I played that to and realized that it was limitation with it as well. Why is it so hard to work in the 3rd dimension and enable the player to go `Up' or `Down'? We live in a 3 dimensional world and as Homeworld proved, it's easy to control, because the programmers made an interface that was simple and intuitive as well as functional. I am also given to wonder why people are not more critical about products like this when they are so inferior when compared to similar programs. If you comparison shop for a car, why wouldn't you do the same for a piece of software. It isn't like Starfleet Command is the only one of its kind. It is your money afterall.
The Game Boy little compacts fit in a pocket, they hold charge for hours and they are exquisite.
In the case of the Dreamcast, Sega tried to support it but it was too late. Sony had defeated them. Sony had defeated BOTH the Saturn and the Dreamcast with the overpowering success of the Playstation One. Hard to believe but it's true: the Playstation One knocked out BOTH the Saturn and the Dreamcast off the market, making both of those consoles nothing more than a disappointing memory for Sega fans.
Obviously, I remember FF7 very well, because this game is like a movie that you, as Cloud, progress through, with obstacles, battles, conflict, even love scenes with Cloud and his girlfriend (don't worry--that's nothing compared to today's standards). I tell you, without the enthralling and emotional, orchestrated music, this game would not be so great. But the FF7 has it...music that is very suitable for the battleground, hideous situations, emotional moments, and many more instances.
9959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What's up with some of the negative reviews on here about this game?? It's a blast to play! It's really fun walking around saving kids from the bad guys and dancing them to death lol What makes it even better is you can jam to the tunes of MJ while doing all of this. This game is a nice collectable item for MJ fans and people who like to collect rare Sega Genesis games too. If you see this game for a decent price,then PICK IT UP WHILE YOU STILL CAN.Try to get it with the case and booklet,because that really ups the value of it.
to heal your party without having to worry about the battle continuously progressing.
9274 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. Yes there are many great games with action, adventure, great guns, great effects, and excellent graphics. But not all games have great matrix-type slow motion effects and lots of other graphic action moves. This is a great game for everyone who likes 007 and Syphon Filter type games. It is exciting and has fantastic moves and levels. This game is definitely one of the best modern games ever!
2. Do you enjoy reading? Final Fantasy games 1-9 have no character voice acting, making them far more the interactive novel then their successors. That isn't to say that action is nonexistent (quite the opposite), but rather that it is the game's story that drives the Final Fantasy games forward. Any game can have sword fights, magic, and the such, but it is the brilliance of SquareSoft (now SquareEnix) that has not only combined, but mastered these two very different aspects.
There are very few fighting games for the Nintendo 64, and this is your saving grace for your virtual strength.
8909 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great product. fast shipping.
245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All I can say is... wow. This works perfect. It is more space than I will ever need, but the more the merrier. Right? Oh, one more thing: A lot of people said that it takes a long time to save, and boy they were right! Plus, I unscrewed the screws slightly so the little PCB chip moves around a bit. It came in an OK time, but gosh it was worth it.
8300 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 By all the gaming gods, where the hell did THIS come from??? Extreme amounts of praise should be given to the mighty Inafking for taking his beloved Mega Man franchise and redoing it in a darker, harsher, and far more serious way. Since we were all raised on the classic series, leaping into what Mega Man X has to offer wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been, but nothing prepared us for what was inside...incredible graphics, chaotic action, amazing level designs, power armor upgrades, plentiful hidden items, a dark and serious storyline, reusable energy sub-tanks and some of the best boss designs and weapons any Mega Man game would have at that point (and the whole using animals as a body scheme thing was a fantastic idea). There is really nothing that's lacking in this title in any way, and as it stands this can be considered not only one of the best Mega Man and SNES titles, but clearly one of the best games ever made.
The story revolves around Snake, a secret agent who is trying to stop his former military unit from launching a nuclear weapon. The plot unfolds mainly through cutscenes and codec conversations...lots of them. However, I feel that the plot was interesting enough to make up for what may be a bit too much exposition.
5355 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what it says.
5776 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Up to this FF I've always been able to replay the game several times, but for some reason this one didn't really entice me enough to play it again, otherwise I'd give it a '5'. The game was actually pretty cool, but some of the play was too drawn out. I did like the fact that you could attach your magic spells to your weapons and armor, especially the armor portion, because you could get to the point where you weren't affected by any status changes, even sudden Death. If you've never played this game, I say it's pretty good if you have some time on your hands.
* It is possible to actually play a perfect replica of Alton Towers and Blackpool Pleasure Beach if you get the Loopy Landscapes add on pack.
The game is excellent. Plenty of depth, fun, and many different units and buildings. Each building has specific functions and people it can create, making the game all the more intricate and exciting. You can research "new" technologies and go from the Dark Age through the Imperial Age. The game is a non-stop blast.
if you had this in the day of ps1 and your into streetfighter old school ,you will love this title!!
This game is great, especially because of its small learning curve and awesome replay value(the best next to goldeneye). Definitely worth your money.
I see this game from various sources such as "bargain bins", "recycled" software shops, etc.. I'd say if you can find it for a few bucks (including shipping) GO FOR IT.. its great fun and relaxing too.. Just one of those whimsies in life.
1815 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Ok, here are the reasons this game is BAD!.
Suprisingly, Carnivores is a scary game. Unlike games where you hunt Bambi or turkeys, the dinosaurs in the game fight back! If a meat eater sees you, it will stop at nothing (literaly) to get to you. If you're hunting a stegosaur, theres a good chance you might run across a velociraptor (who will immediatly come after you). There were several moments during my playtime where I lunged out of the chair in fright! Such as the time I had an Allosaur lined up in my crosshairs, and I was suddenly ambushed and killed by a velociraptor from behind. Staying on your toes and remaining alert will save your life many times. And when you first hunt the T-rex? Be prepared to be scared out of your wits. The first time I sounded the T-rex roar, I jumped out of my seat! (When you hear a T-rex roar, RUN! Not that it will do you any good).

3261 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Follow Claire Redfield of Resident Evil 2 as she searches for her lost brother Chris, only to uncover another sinister plot to unleash a horrible curse on the world in the name of love. Rescue your brother only to be rescued by him. "Code Veronica" made for an awesome pre-Halloween gaming experience, kicking back in a bean bag chair with a bag of candy corn and the lights turned down low. "Code Veronica" is the true third installment in the franchise, but given Capcom's contract with SONY to produce a main-series title on their PlayStation system, their "Nemesis" spin-off took this game's place, and regrettably. "Veronica" is certainly a better game, with a better plot, better graphics, and better gameplay. Additionally, "Veronica" marks the series' last game in the Survival Horror genre before "Resident Evil 4" branched the series into an on-rails pseudo-shooter action-adventure nightmare (no pun intended; this analysis is accurately and justifiably harsh). It is the only game for the DreamCast, all in all, worth playing. It makes little use of the hardware's potential, and is only enjoyable insofar as it is a Resident Evil game.
1975 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
72 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a really great set of player's guides for the recent Zelda games and I would recommend it to all fans of the Zelda games.
As a mario fan- you'll want to have this in your hands and if you're not- then play this as a party game. It beats Mario Party in replay value but is somewhat less challenging.
Storyline : 9.5/10
Sound-wise, the game is adequate. The new characters use recycled sounds from old MK games, as do the new stages (also taken from old games.)
7447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT
2. This is not a role-playing game. Role-playing games have a lot of text and character involvement. This game has a script that is about two pages long, maybe less. What you say or do in this game really has no effect on the games out come.
Well, it's definitely your call.. so if the price is reasonable for you and plenty of time, then give it a try and see how it goes. It's nice to have this game if you are a collector, however, I wouldn't buy this game if you are picking this ONE RPG to enjoy in your busy life, because there are better RPGs out there for PSOne in my humble opinion.
258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 daughter still loves her play station needed a bigger memory card for a couple games so searched amazon and found this to order for her.
The Gameplay is largely the same as it was in Gex: Enter the Gecko. You control the camera with the shoulder buttons this time around, but it can still be a major problem when judging distance while platofrming. The other addition is a number of costumes that give you minor upgrades, like a vampire cape to glide, a superhero costume, or a tunic to make you strong. These are interesting and add some variety, however they're under utilized and don't show up very often. This game also appeared on the N64, however there are fewer voice clips and no 3D cutscenes. The other difference between the two is that the Mythology channel, a parody of the old Hercules movies and Clash of the Titans, has a different level design. On the PS1 it's set on Mt Olympus, and on the N64 it's set in Hades. Now a game changer, but a nifty fact.

My only plot nitpick is that of the supposed 'plot twist' that was when it was revealed that everyone except Rinoa were together as children in an orphange. That was weak and unbelievable, and had no real impact on the storyline as it was. But with all the better plot twists, I won't complain.
.
I would absolutely recommend this one, particularly to RPG fans who are looking for something a little different. The graphics are above average for a Super Nintendo game, the music is upbeat and catchy (and can get stuck in your head for hours, in keeping with Mario game music tradition!), the characters are all incredibly likable, and they come loaded with some very creative battle attacks. Check it out, you just might be pleasantly surprised at how much you like it.
definitly not for kids
I tried getting rid of WWF War Zone at a yard sale but no one wanted it, so I had to get rid of it by throwing it away. No way was I keeping such a crappy game in the same shelf with MUCH more deserving Playstation games.
The ending was great. Oh I simply loved the puzzles once Gabriel enters the cave. They were fun. I do have one complaint with this game - I wish it didn't have to end at all.
I found it tougher then you'd think to stay alive, so I recommend you enter the Debug code.
HOWEVER: it is worth your time even with the issues with backlash and the harder levels. Most of the game is very creative and decently difficult.

Red and Green only came out in Japan. Not the US. The graphics are much worse then the Red and Blue graphics. Many pokemon looked ugly,and stupid,so Nintendo made Pocket Monsters Blue. There Blue is our Red and Blue. The graphics for Blue,is the same as the graphics in Red and Blue. Some glitches were also fixed in Blue version,and was passed over to R/B versions. The only differences is the language. That's it. Pocket Monsters Red and Green are different from Red and Blue. Pocket Monsters Red is like pokemon Red,but different. Different dialogue,glitches,and graphics. The games became successful,and Nintendo released more games.
Lastly, I thought that one of the more interesting things about this game was the black SNES cartridge. You really didn't see that many colored cartridges during the Super Nintendo's lifespan, but the fact that Killer Instinct was released as a black cartridge was appropriate and so cool looking.
2984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first RPG I ever played, and I played it kind of by accident. I had may have seen a commercial or two for it, its hard to remember, but I certainly had no intention of playing it. But one night, I went to rent a few games, it was rent 2 get 1 free, but I didn't realize this. I got to the counter to pay adn the guy told me about the deal, but there wasn't anything that looked decent to me. So the guy recomended FF7, I figured why not its free. After I got bored of the other two games and put it in, my life changed forever. I was amazed at how bad I wanted to keep playing, never before had a game sucked me in so quickly and so powerfully. When I saw my first summon, Ifrit, holy crap was I blown away. Needless to say, i bought it soon after and played it all the way through to include the optional bosses, Emerald and Ruby Weapon. If you havnt beaten them, you havnt beaten the game by the way. Sephiroth is a joke compared to those guys. I have played through it again probably another 3-4 times since because it really is that good. I wasn't expecting anything when I played it as I didn't even know what it was really, so hype has nothing to do with it being simply fantastic.
6259 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This N64 console was released in September 1996. There were 44 games that ended with 64. The last N64 game ever released was "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3".
3970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Don't know why people have to hate the graphics. This game is getting old, and one would think people would consider the devs wanting it to look like it does.
3700 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I can say the game was great and it surprised me that it was still functioning. I was usually expecting it to not work. though I'll have to wait and see. One of the good but unknown games in the 90's. Can recommend this to people with old systems though I can't offer any guarantees since who is using an old Playstation nowadays?
I'm surprised so many people hate the graphics in the game. They're quite wonderful if you ask me. Sure, the graphics may be dated because the game is nearly 10 years old (and walking around in Mega Man Legends is sort of like walking around in a giant land of legos) but none of that should matter because you have to take into account the amount of FUN a game provides. Mega Man Legends provides a LOT of fun.
529 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first Tomb Raider was a classic in terms of its 3D gameplay, sense of exploration through massive levels, and a unique main character. The 2nd installment in the TR series is not much different. The levels are still HUGE, and exploration is still the name of the game. But this time around, the environments and enemies are more varied, there are more action-based enemy sequences than the first, and the difficulty level has been approriately increased. In terms of the level of challenge, I feel that this is the best in the series. The later Tomb Raider series felt frustrating and downright cheap at times. This one is definitely not a cakewalk, but is very possible without a strategy guide. You don't feel as though you have to play for half an hour just to get into the next room. Progress is slow, but steady, and you don't ever need 6 or 7 different items to move on. Progress is more based on actually getting where you want to go rather than finding the right items or hitting the right combination of switches. Some of the level designs are incredible, such as the Venice-based levels, the Opera House, the beastly Barkhang Monestary and the massive Temple Of Xian. This is the key strength of the first two TR installments, and why the more recent ones have been less inspiring. Resourcefulness and attention to the environment is extremely key, as medipacks are in light supply in this game. Also, every level has 3 secrets in the form of dragons. You do not receive the bonus items unless you find all 3 dragons in the level, making exploration even more vital in building your inventory. Finding at least 2 of the dragons in every level should be quite easy, but some levels have one especially well-hidden dragon. The gold dragons in the first two levels are remarkably difficult, but the reward of finding them (especially the first one) is worth it. If you didn't like the first Tomb Raider, this game won't change your mind. If you were blown away by the first installment (or even the 3rd, 4th or 5th) then this game is a real treat.
7702 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The cartridge is in good condition, a little tear and wear for the label sticker on the cartridge, but that ain't nothing to worry about. The pins are all fresh and shiny and well-kept. When I first played it, I even noticed a memory slot being used to save some other player's progress!!! lol~ So there goes the internal memory-saving battery review as well, which, needless to say, works like charm!
2657 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...and I remember when Street Fighter II appeared in Arcades some...uh...was it 15-16 years ago or more? , with cast of INCREDIBLE 8 characters and INCREDIBLE 6 attack buttons. My cousin had to master ALL 8 fighters and asked me 'Which end would u like to see?'
Anyway, this includes some new features, like challenges (find Yoshi's Egg, 5 red coins, and beat a specified high score), races with Boo, a Toy Box (or something along those lines), and some trophies. Also, more intriguing, is that that included the Japanese SMB II or Lost Levels for us American and UK folks or gamers I mean. You have to get 300,000 points on the original, and then Luigi's head will appear on the gaming menu. Its retitled SUPER MARIO BROTHERS FOR SUPER PLAYERS, and you have to be one to beat it, the difficulty level is so high. It took us a good 13 years to get the game in original 8 bit format. One thing about the screen: its not big enough to get the entire game inside it, so they have Mario look up and down.

2341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great
The graphics are wonderful for their time. However newer games like final fantasy 8, Parasite Eve, and Metal Gear Solid are defiantly better. Often the characters seem a bit boxy in it. The backgrounds almost always look beautiful though.
All in all, despite its obvious and frustrating flaws, the game is still a classic. If you don't own it you owe it to yourself to take a trip back in time. Re-live the polygonal loading-screen glory!!
4811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Strategy games are often games that require you slice your enemy into bits, blow up his tanks, and mow down his peasants. It's so wonderful to find a fantastic strategy game that is at its root a monetary war, instead of a physical one.
So if you are a collector wanting to get yourself a piece of video game history, be ready to drop some serious money on Dreamcast games in good or new condition. The system itself is cheap enough to get yourself two (if you buy them used) and the controllers and VMUs are a dime a dozen. If you will only be satisfied with a brand new Dreamcast; caveat emptor, as there have been many reports of sellers refurbishing used Dreamcasts, repackaging and reselling them on eBay and Amazon as new.
Fast forward to the sequel. Instead of the puppy Parappa, you control the guitar player Lammy who's trying to hit the big time with her band. Every button press corresponds to guitar licks instead of words spoken, but that's not the only change. First of all, you can use the whammy bar to add that effect, as you play numerous other effects are unlocked that you can also use, and those effects really do change the sound of the guitar. Secondly, once you beat the game you start to unlock other unique options, such as multiple modes of two-player (cooperative or competitive), and the ability to play the whole game as Parappa (rapping instead of jamming).
4576 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has got to sport the best replay value of any game on earth. Its great because you don't have to be a fan of the sport to play this fantastic skate boarding game. Play in many different enviornmets, like skate parks for example with ramps, rails and pools to all perform fantastic high air tricks. Its also nice because the learning curve is not too great. I picked this game up and was jumping off ramps, spining, board kicking and sliding down rails in no time. I just can not stop playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, I think I may need profesional help!

9394 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Lion King is a SNES game made by Virgin Interactive Entertainement. This is probably one of the hardest platformers on the SNES. The game does however has a Level Select cheat, and an Invincibility cheat. But if you don't use them, then this is one hard game.
To start off, the control just isn't good enough to pull off HALF the things you need to do in this game. There are instances where you must execute specific jumps to get you from point A to point B, but half the time, the controller is non-responsive. Especially when it comes to levels that put you high up, this usually means falling...over and OVER again!
3618 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my very first Tekken game!! Got it on Christmas of 99. Me and my brother could not put it down!!! The music is mesmerizing and suits the fighters so well. No doubt the BEST soundtrack in ALL the Tekken games.
3496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Visual Memory Unit is for Sega's Dreamcast game console and connected to the systems controller to interface with games. It was a truly innovative, but underutilized accessory by game developers who used it to simply save data, which it did wonderfully. The V.M.U was more than a glorified memory card; it was something that could easily enhance any game, if only a little extra time was invested into the overall product. Unfortunately only a modest handful Dreamcast titles took advantage the V.M.U, like Jet Grind Radio, Power Stone, Shenmue and Street Fighter Alpha 3 among others that added extra features or mini games. The Visual Memory Unit design resembles a miniaturized version of Nintendo's original Gameboy. The LCD screen is placed above the D-pad and other buttons, which are situated close together., but the whole unit fits nicely in the palm of your hand. Even though the 200 blocks of memory on the V.M.U is enough to store numerous average sized save files, it leaves very little room when saving games like Sega's classic 2K sports series that require more space. Perhaps because of the modest storage size, but files aren't prone to being corrupted, even after nearly a decade. Overall, the Visual Memory Unit is a necessity for any Dreamcast owner, but I'd highly recommend purchasing a spare as a backup (units can even interlock to exchange files). Beware though, the V.M.U drains batteries at an alarming rate, but time sure does fly when your having fun!
After such a great game, I found the final showdown a little disappointing, but, as I sayd - its not all about combat.
5010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a Silent Hill fanatic. I can not begin to describe how amazing this game is, it has everything you need in a video game, a great story, amazing atmosphere, symbolism, and a way to scare the living crap outa you. This came out 3 years after the first Resident evil game, now let me just say somthing, I like Resident Evil but it is just not as great as Silent Hill. Now lets actually get this review started.
- Joypad controls are difficult to master- but are necessary to support all the ninjitsu moves.
Almost always runs smoothly.
You start most levels inside an animal and have to complete a number of mission objectives. Each level also has side quests: collecting fifteen purple energy balls and a gold medal. To get some of these medals you have to pay very close attention to everything, since there are some very clever things you have to do to obtain it. Sometimes, though, it's just killing all of one type of animal. Killing these animals is not so easy as it might sound. For the most part you'll be using an animal that is weaker than the one you are trying to kill, or at its level. Taking them out requires some strategy, otherwise you can get taken out pretty quickly. Using the animals to solve puzzles is also very challenging. This is where the games gets very clever. They truly require you to use what brainpower you may have, and to pay close attention to details.
SCORE: 4-5
Game of the Year Hands Down
The way the story is told is "cute" with transmissions from the main characters and a few cg scenes. It is cute because back in the day the starcraft narrative and delivery of that narrative was nothing short of groundbreaking, of course now it seems crude and simplistic. For me however nostalgia overcomes those problems.
912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the best n64 game ever made next to the wonderful ocarina of time.i beat everything in it when i was 9-i collected all the jinjos,got all the puzzle pieces,etc.i bought it when i was 8.it's an amazing,fun game.i just feel tormented that i had to use the players guide to beat the 2nd,banjo-tooie.i try not to think about it.but this game is extremly hard and grueling-but in a good way.the levels are extremly detailed and fun.my favorite is the graveyard/haunted house level.(i forgot it's name.)buy it.i command you.
As for game layout and graphics, excellent, IMO for 1999 PS1. Great voice animations and camera angles as well.
This game is old, and it shows. There is no Dual Shock capabilities, and pretty much everything is sprite animation except the walls and doors. It really looks like it could be a cell phone game. The story is: there is no story. You are pointlessly taken on an adventure through the areas of the first three movies in the series (the TRILOGY at the time, obviously) and pit against tons of enemies including human foes as well as the Alien creatures and their varients. This game isn't very creative, or well designed, but it is classic. In the end, and as a fan of the Alien series, I must say DO NOT play this game. It will only alter your perception of the series.
8729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the original sega classic's from the 1980's. A very simplistic idea put to very good use! A must have for anyone who likes to play video games!
785 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is overrated. Don't get sucked into all the hype. It's more nostalgic for the people who played it when it first came out. The graphics are honestly really bad and the controls make you feel like you're drunk. I guess that's where the fun is though, because honestly I really did like the game. I played through it and although the gameplay schematics were a bit...strange, it was oddly addicting. Multiplayer is a lot of fun though when you have friends sitting down in the basement all hooked up. It can get pretty intense on split screen, seriously. 5 stars for the split screen! 4 stars overall because the gameplay was repetitive and the graphics were vomit. They could have been better for the time period and the N64 was capable of handling better than this. Still, worth the buy. Get it.
Basically, to understand the system you must replace each instance of the word "Junction" with the word "Assign". You must assign a Guardian Force to each character, and then choose the character abilities from the ones that the Force offers. Pretty much the only command you can have without the GF is "Attack". With the help of GF, however, you have a sprawl of options: you can assign specific magics to increase attributes, or to give special effects to your attacks; you can summon the GF for a great attack. You can refine magic and items, etc., etc., etc. Each GF can learn a slew of abilities, further expanding your options.
Aside from that, Soul Calibur was a nearly flawless game. It managed to do this by offering players what the Arcade couldn't. Before Soul Calibur came out in 1999 if you wanted the best graphics and best experience with fighting games you typically went to Arcade to have it. Soul Calibur was one of the games that helped to change this, in part because of the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast version of the game looked and sounded better than the Arcade version. The stages were more detailed. The backgrounds, rather than being pre-rendered, were actually in 3D. The game was the prettiest thing on the market in 1999. And the characters were also detailed. The console version of the game also offered different modes. You had the typical Arcade mode, but the game also gave you a survival mode and things to keep you busy such as the game's Mission Mode. Where you went to various stages to partake in missions. These missions earned you points, which you could exchange in the Art Gallery. Sometimes when you bought art in the gallery you unlocked other missions, stages or character exhibition theaters. There was a lot to unlock in Soul Calibur. It was an experience you simply couldn't have in the Arcade.
6294 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When me and my sisters all moved out one of my sisters took the N64 so I bought a new one to replace it and still be able to play some of the games that were mine that she didn't tale.
So yeah, Metroid II: Return of Samus has many cool features that honestly takes quite a few hours to complete. If there's a weak point in the game somewhere I honestly can't find it. Just buy this great game (used). Do NOT pay over 20 bucks for it though because it's not *insanely* good or anything. :)

5264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A quiet revolution on launch, 'Thief' plays like a cross between 'Rainbow Six' and the old playground favourite 'What's the time Mr Wolf'. As a sneaky thief, you have to steal your way through a series of absolutely enormous, atmospheric 'steam-punk' levels, avoiding guards, laying traps, and hiding in the shadows. Like almost everything by the late, lamented Looking Glass, 'Thief' is intelligent, well-presented, extraordinarily deep, and commercially only so-so.
893 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rare just has an extraordinary knack at making great games. Banjo Kazooie was released in 1998 and has been considered a classic since, and I too must agree with this well deserved honor. Well, why do I find this game fantastic? Well, I'll explain that in my review.
Many of the games look AND PLAY better than games that came out for playstation 2....even a few that have come out for ps3.
The only games I have found it wouldn't work with was "Stuntman Ignition" (possibly "Stuntman" too, but I have not played it) and I can't recall the other one, but currently I own around 100 PS2 games, and it's been fine with all but 2 or 3 games! But don't complain, just use your existing 8 meg card, or buy one from a pawn shop or somewhere for a dollar or two, and use that for those games, and the rest on this awesome card!
9586 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This final fantasy is totally different from the others, it's a much more strategic game then a RPG one , but it's fun , a little short , and it does not have multi endings :( i give it 4 stars it's nice but not perfect , and if you expect a regular final fantasy you WILL be desapointed.
Some may critisize the use of 2D sprites in the game. The reason for this is to save memory. At some point in the game literally hundreds of enemys could be in the area at a time, and to use 3D objects would take up too much memory.
1845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 classic game for the ps1. i love it and it still makes me smile like it did when i was a kid. the new verisions cant compare to the original! whether you are a 90s child trying to relive your childhood or want to share it with the new generation, you will have hours of fun with everyone's favorite purple dragon
- No saves during a level.
The only bad thing I can say about the game is what it should have had included. It needed to be fixed so that the auto fatalitys worked like in MK: TRILOGY (All platforms EXCEPT the N64 version) where each button freformed a diffrent fatality (2 fats, freindship, babality etc..) that about it.
618 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game works as described. The condition is also in good condition. I am very pleased.
Alpha Centauri is a solid game -- there's a lot of detail to the game and in the classic case of Civilization it is extremely replayable: at different difficulty levels or as a member of one of the 7 factions.
2103 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The last time we saw Gex which was in the game called Gex: Enter the gecko he saved t.v. from a robot named Rez. Kinda wierd huh? Well in this game a woman named Agent Xtra was captured by Rez. When Gex was at home thinking about his last successes he decided to watch the news. When he was in the middle of watching the news he saw that Agent Xtra was captured by Rez. So Gex decided to go and save Agent Xtra. So he goes to the Gex caves and starts his new adventure.
The super powers are origonal. All you get is the mushroom and the fire flower. And when you get hit, you'll turn back small (not Super Mario like most games). Also some of the enemies are very difficult to beat and takes a while to kill. And at times, some levels are too difficult to beat (Like the third level [Easter Island]), so it gets real fustrating. I managed to beat the game, and I believe it stats me over from the beginning and it is much harder to play.
3046 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll keep it short since everyone else said what I will
5278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The story does a good job of bringing me back to this torture of a game,much like God Of War. Puzzles are an OMG sensation. I never thought I'd be so grateful for the web,so prepare to visit there OFTEN,especially during the sequel's gameplay. Its a unique game for the PS1 and still rivals today's games. Yes,I do mean PS4 and the X Box One's games as well.
538 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This wwf game sucks...
I liked it though...
This game has PHENOMENAL voice acting, the lighting and architecture used in game give a very dark, gothic feel. True rpg fans will understand when I say that this is one of those games that are awesome to play when it's raining, completely adds to the immersion factor.
5475 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 awesome awesome awesome a little buggy at times but its worth it to play through trust me i bought the entire legacy of kain series off the strength of this game. oh and did i say awesome already well it is. moody dark and beautiful scenery. buy it now
BOTH ARE VERY HARD
1101 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is a classic. It should be played by every Nintendo fan and fans who are not big on Nintendo. The Zelda series is infact a big popular series but this one defys all of them. Ocarina of Time is a stand alone Zelda classic. It is not only the best Zelda game but it is possibly the greatest game ever created on a console. The story line is oh so brilliant and the graphics(even for todays standard) are unbelievable. Anyone who owns a Nintendo 64 needs this game. This game is pretty old and pretty cheap(I lost my game so I baught one for 5 bucks at Gamestop)so it won't be hard to find. This game infact shows what the Nintendo 64 is capable of. The game is very well made as you play through a huge world...well not that huge.. And I will say this..(I may be exagerating this though) But the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has one of the best "boss battle finale" ending ever..Ubelievable..Graphics in this game a superb. There were parts in the game were I would just stand there and stare at the ocean, houses anything cause it looked so beautiful. I loved how they created the bosses especially the last one and it was amazing how realistic they made the horse look. Nintendo scores big with the graphics. The gameplay is magneficent. I loved how it was all made and done. I really can't get into this one, you'll just have to play this part for yourself....The sound is..My god...It's beautiful I even downloaded all the songs. I loved the song were your in the temple and you get the Mastersword cause they made that song really well. The music in the farm were Epona is was made extreamly well and was just BRILLIANT! As I've stated the story in this game is just plain good, though it obviously has the "save" themed plot as you all know and I won't really get into the plot since there is already like 500 reviews saying what the plot is about..Sure the game is old and outdated, I guess..But so what..The game is still one of the greatest games of all time. I'll put it in simple words for you, the game is flawless! The game has an amazing plot that will suck you in, the gameplay is fun and classic(as well as riding Epona the horse)and music is just plain beautiful, the enviroments and atmosphere of the game as just as incredible as the game itself is and as I stated before...Ocarina of Time is simply the greatest video game ever made(and if it's not possible then it has hands down the best video game ever made, no the best video game OF ALL TIME)....Get this game you will not regret it!
If I could give it a zero I would...THIS GAME FLAT OUT SUCKS!
controls 9/10 good but kind of twitchy in tight spots
9213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game starts off as the classic Donkey Kong arcade game with 4 levels, then after you send DK falling down the collapsed building, instead of winning, you then have a whole NEW game to play! Several levels and worlds that make you think, and plan out how to move, taking the area, enemies, and variables into account. I played this as a kid, and just got it on my 3DS eShop, and I love it just as much. I only have ONE single complaint. You cannot pause during the final battle. That's the ONLY complaint I have from what I remember. Great game, awesome characters, a fair difficulty, and I feel this game demonstrates the classic rivalry of Mario and Donkey Kong better than the original arcade did, having many more levels and showing how creative Donkey Kong can be.
If you are looking for this classic sim the bad news is that all original published copies are sold out. The good news is that used copies are not hard to find. Shop around and try to get the actual Red Baron 3D game and not the upgradeable Red Baron 2. Also, try and find a copy that includes the Red Baron 3D manual. This manual is chock full of everything you need to know about every aspect of the sim. There is also a large historical section devoted to the pilots and aircraft of the period covered in the sim and lots of period photos. It resembles a paperback novel more than manuals found with PC games these days.
THREE: Long-term staying power. Sony has sold more playstation units than anything they've ever made. And the CD format is always a superior way of storing information. And ask someone with a Super Nintendo if they can play those games on their N64... sorry, they can't. But if you ever decide to get a PS2, your games are still good.

3551 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Finally, Sega releases a video game system that rises above mediocrity! Sega is famous for all kinds of failed (and embarrassing) video game consoles they brought to the world, but this time they actually "kind of" got it right with the Dreamcast.
7143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game is fun but repetitive, you collect a lot of bananas, each kong has there own color of items to collect and there are 5 kongs to play as so its going to be hard to 100% this game, any how this game is a nice addition to my n64 collection.

1092 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like all zelda games the ocarina of time provides an adventure about link a young hero.in the ocarina of the player takes control of a young boy known as link. right from the start of the game players jaws dropped at the sight of the graphics for 64 bit graphics it looks amazing.as the story progresses players obtain more items and link becomes more of a hero at about 2 thirds through the player becomes an adult and he cant use some of his items which is one the most impressive features in a game iv ever seen. Its about an ancient evil being restored and a child giving up his youth for his country theres nothing bloody wrong with this game its perfect.p.sthis game is why you keep your n64
own home!
8637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I quite like the 2D graphics style of this game, it looks neat, clean, and beautiful. The old school Warcraft games included in this battle chest focused on a war between Orcs and Humans. The first game solely involves those two main races while in the second one the humans are aided by the dwarves, elves, and gnomes while the orcs are aided by the ogres, trolls, and goblins. The first game is simplistic but fun and has interesting strategies too it, plus it has walls and roads which were taken out in the second game. However, if you're expecting a modern style Blizzard interface, you'll be expecting incorrectly. Both games suffer from a lack of control groups and only being able to que up one unit as a time. The unit selection is also pretty bad in the first one since you have to hold shift and click on them all individually, plus you can only get four and right click does nothing. The second one is greatly improved with the drag to select and the right mouse button with a number of functions although it suffers from some of the problems of the first one. The pacing is also fairly slow although you can speed both games up. However, once you get beyond those two disadvantages both games are great. The storyline and graphics won't WoW you but they are pretty good for the time when it came out and I found it enjoyable to see how things developed and look at the nice little animations. The gameplay is really the strong point though. The factions are pretty well balanced and while their regular units are the same except for minor differences (the spearman doesn't have the range of an archer, I guess the spear is too heavy for him), their magic is diverse and awesome. There's also of great conventional land units in the second game as well as naval and airpower. The maps are well done and varied, with both the typical RTS battles on the ground and naval warfare and ampibious assaults on island maps. The strategy has a fair amount of depth to it and there's lots of neat things you can do, like using farms as walls in the second game, surprising some units with no air attack with dragons, and in the first blocking passageways with foot soldiers while archers attack from behind, limiting the enemies mobility. The first one's music and intro are only so-so, but the second one is very well done in both areas. Both have engrossing campaigns and fun multiplayer matches. Plus you could probably find some world editiing tools out there to create your own maps if you look a little bit. The first game is pretty good if your into old school RTS while the second one is a blast if you don't mind some minor details being a bit less refined than current games. Plus, these are the games that started Warcraft and to a lesser extent Starcraft as well. Give 'em a try if you like fantasy or RTS games. You won't regret it, especially since it's fairly cheap.
They weren't joking about the realistic violence and gore. Watch out if you're at all squeamish. It also has a couple of different endings depending on how you play the game, so it has a lasting appeal to it.
What can I say about this game's soundtrack that I haven't already said about any other game I've reviewed? Well, to put it simply, anything. I can't even put words into describing how amazing this game's music is. Every track, whether big or small, is moving, sensational, and at times, emotionally enticing. Of all the games I've played that had amazing soundtracks, this is the one I always find myself humming or whistling to when I'm at work, or when I'm out doing anything at all. It's atmospheric. It's intense. There are only a few tracks that are reused, and even when they do, you can forgive them for doing so because they're simply beautiful. Every area of every town, city, village, or dungeon will have you instantly hooked to the music playing in the background, and it's an addiction I will never overcome.
Pluses are being able to sneak around to avoid combat (unlike a lot of games where the enemies run right at you when you enter a scene), cool weapons, an awesome story-line and a soundtrack that is beyond cool (listen to the intro and ending song).

5863 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed this game, but only after I finally figured out how to use the basics of it. To give you a slight back round, this was the second Final Fantasy I have every played with Final Fantasy 9 being the first. Many agree it is the most user friendly when it came to setting up magic, defense spells and weapons effects. In Final Fantasy 8, this is a very long and drawn out process which takes up much of the first quarter of the first game disc(It does have game play durring this long drudge so hang in there).
5581 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Case was slightly cracked but disks look good!
I was extremely impressed. Usually games offer something to adults, or to kids, but rarely do they get a combination that intrigues both. This has a training system that makes you figure out which kind of fighter you wish to be, what you want to earn points towards, how you want to talk to people, and which of your friends make the best allies against a certain situation.
5114 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am a long-time M&M devotee. I played every game of this gorgeous series. On the last M&M 6, it is put on a new high level. But in this sequel, it seems to do the same thing without new surprise. To be fair, this game is still lots of fun. I like the storyline very much--- in the game, whevever you are so careful, you MUST choose your route between good or evil, and then become the foe and the killer of the other side. This is life. And numerous quests make you always has something to do. The most disadvantage of this game is the unnecessary lots of monsters. I hate myself doing the same thing again and again, accept a guest, kill the monsters, get the item. (In fact I am not killing the monster, I'm killing my time....) If 3DO company know this, this game and the following sequels(M&M 8,9,10,...) would be far more better. (But alas, I just purchased a copy of M&M 8, and the monsters seem to be even far more.)
4359 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first loading this game there was many graphics problems and hanging up on my computers part. I have a relatively new computer compared to when this game came out in 1998. This is a good game but make sure before you buy it that you have the best graphics card possible or else you'll run into the same problems I did.
The graphics are the best on SNES, there are plenty of bonus stuff to find and a procent system that gives a lot of replay value.
- Amazing graphics (for its time)
5770 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a girl obsessed with the likes of Zelda: The Ocarina Of Time, I was completely unfamiliar with turn based RPGs. When I recieved Final Fantasy 7 and 8 for Christmas, I naturally tried 7 first. I was horrified when I saw that you were unable to run around in a free roaming enviornment hacking and slashing at your leisure. Waiting my turn to deliver one blow was not my idea of a good time. Disgusted, I removed the game and inserted FF8. I was floored by the opening cinema. When the game started, I was confused by all the new terms. SeeD? Balamb Gatrden? Junction system? What the hell? But something compelled me to push onward. I was instantly hooked on the characters, which to me are much more appealing than the lego characters of the previous Final Fantasy games.
It'll definitely whet your apetite for "Railroad Tycoon 3".
4349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game is every thing i hoped for in an old combat flight sim!
242 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It turned out to be a 64MB card. While I would usually return it, I don't have another card to transfer all of my files to. 64MB is still a ton of space though for PS2 saves.
Another bonus was an unlimited inventory, so you didn't have to stockpile weapons or health drinks, or anything else. You were able to carry everything you picked up without having to fuss about whether or not you really needed to carry it at that time, and then run back somewhere to retrieve something you needed when getting to a certain door or area. So, kudos to Jaleco for this fine first effort. The story line might have been a bit weak, and all my questions about Ark and the motivations of some of the characters weren't answered, but overall, it was a good try, and the next time they might make a more polished, complete product. I'm willing to wait and see.
4937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a weird game this is. It had been gathering dust in my closet for at least a year untill I sort of felt in the mood for playing it. This was because the content seemed a bit bloody, but most of all because the controls seemed annoying. You have to move your character by holding the right mousebutton all the time, and that doesn't relieve you of any slumbering RSI.
He looked so young. I really didn't get the story. If you get the cheats its even better! Even more awsome weapons for you to
4043 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well...Where to begin. This game is excellent. That's basically all I need to say. It's main game has a nice plot, your a scientist whose expieriment went wrong and you must do some stuff...AND SHOOT STUFF ALONG THE WAY!!! Most enemies are Smart, and tactically try to kill you, and the "Puzzles" are fun too. Plus, Deathmatch is fun, and all the "mods" by other people make the game infinately replayable.
1337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games ever made for the N64 console.
The one aspect of this game that I found to be annoying was the tendency of kids to get sick from your rides. This aspect of the game was BADLY overdone (maybe the writers thought it was supposed to be cute). Even if they don't get sick, a lot of them will be afraid to ride it. The park customers are total wimps. You can build a 120-foot tall standup roller coaster with 3 inversions and nobody will ride it, because it is too "intense" (whatever that means). The roller-coaster physics might be realistic, but the customer behavior definitely is not. This is one of a few examples of questionable AI in this game. Still, as a roller-coaster enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
3. If you have a Gameboy. Buy it. Just don't even try not too. Just buy it.

I remember getting this game for my birthday way the heck back in 1992. The missions were so fun and CHALLENGING now this is a word that most people in the computer game industry seem to have forgotten. The appeal of this game for me was that because it took so much time to complete(I think I managed it in 2 years) the victories were all the swetter when you won.
This game has it all. The story is pretty decent. I won't spoil it here. The graphics are gorgeous. Absoloutly incredable, just be sure that when you play this game for the first time, you play it with no one else around, lest someone accidently step on your jaw when it falls to the floor. The music is very cool too. The intro music rocks big time and the in game stuff is funky. The game itself is just a brainless shoot em up. Like R-type on steroids. and a hundread times more fun. All this stuff combines to give you a great fun game that anyone can play and enjoy.
1345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably the most epic of the first generation of 3D platformers, and certainly one of the most well-known. With 120 stars to collect, you can spend quite a bit of time working up the perfect game. Just don't go for that "unlocking Luigi" nonsense. It was all an urban legend.
"Riven" is definitely habit-forming. The first time I played it, I ended up just walking around and looking at everything before I decided to actually begin my journey on rescuing Catherine. When you step out into the open a few minutes after the real action begins, the sense of "this is gonna be bigger and more immersive than Myst" sets in.

4339 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft stands the test of time as a strategy game extraordinaire. It is not just the trio of the zerg, protoss, and terran with their well balanced arsenals. It is the whole plot and atmosphere which shine.
After eleven years Final Fantasy VII is still a force to be reckoned with. There are a few gaps in its storyline that you may have to read a bit more deeply to learn about (as not all of it is within the game itself, but if anything confuses you there have been countless FAQs written as well as spin-offs and sequels) and it shuns some of its characters at points, but the package is still one of the best Playstation outings of all time, and every gamer should pick up and play Final Fantasy VII at least once.

Play style is mainly action-platformer... so, if you liked Animaniacs and this kind of gameplay, this game might be worth looking in to. Or, if you've never seen the Animaniacs T.V. show, you still may want to look into this game. Even though it's kind of a kid's game, it is still a challenge.
I enjoyed the music from this game, i still think it's one of the best ones Square did. Everything from the Bombing mission to Cid's theme this game has it done perfectly! Another good reason why Square wanted this game on the PlayStation, crystal clear stereo sound!
2-PLAYER MODE
I don't mean to trash on BLAST CORPS, because the game is a lot of fun. It is worth checking out, and it will satisfy most gamers with a simplistic arcade hunger. But it isn't as good as you want it to be. You're thinking "Rare + N64" = "Classic". I'm sorry, but this isn't true.
3161 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the greatest Rpgs, or games ever! And now that it is only 20$ you must buy it! And whatever you do spend your money on this game not 8 (blech!) The characters are great with the magic system dealing with materia which have different spells and effects so in other words your characters are all costomizible. The plot is great, always surprising and pretty scary! This game is worth every single cent when you buy it, and its only twenty bucks.
Sixth, there's too much stuff! I know I've mentioned this before, but it's just wrong that you could pick up every item in the whole game and still only see a tenth of all the different combinations of non-magical items.
- You can only select about 5 tunes for a CAW's ring music.
The T-rex
Danger - Icy Conditions Ahead
I LOVE the opening theme song, followed by the excellent euphoric soundtrack when you first start the game. Unfortunately, you don't get to hear the latter song enough in the game; in most of the areas that you have to explore, there IS no music but rather -- just silly sound effects. And a surprise treat -- before you reach the final Metroid, the Mother Metroid herself, you will have to contend with 8 ORIGINAL Metroids!!! Be sure to use the Ice Beam, followed by 5 Missiles in order to effectively kill them (the Ice Beam does NOT apply to the MUTATED Metroid forms!!!)
9.3/10
I give this game four stars for its creative way of mitigating the problem of linearity by giving the player free rein (after gaining the technology) to explore several beautiful worlds; for its inventive artwork in rendering the worlds; for its pensive, solitary feel; and for its science fictional (as opposed to fantasy) concept. I give this game no more than four stars because I sense that it was cut short, because the linearity sometimes interferes with how much exploration the player may engage in each world, and because I felt it necessary to turn to walkthroughs in order to complete the game. All in all, I come away from The Crystal Key feeling mainly that I spent my time well in these worlds.
9537 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I recently bought this game when i got my new home computer. It was recommended to me by friends who thought this would be a great game to start out with.
7628 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I grew up playing this game and something happened and I lost it. Now I am so glad to have it back and also at a decent price.
Three years ago his wife and baby girl died, because of some men that broke into the house. Max Payne has killed them, though he wants revenge for this happening. Finally, three years later, he gets a lead on the case. He follows this lead with bosses and a lot of guys to shoot ahead, using bullet time that is like Matrix-Style Slow-Motion that is easier to use then the fast-paced real life that happens all round him. He firsts gets a case in the subway, he finds out that his partner is died, and the big guy blamed it on him and so here on out, cops are on his tail. Well, though here to the lasts missions he is just trying to get though the bosses that lie ahead, each boss defeated getting him one step farther. There are over 25 levels, each long and painful to Max Payne, but that's what happens when you're trying to beat the case of V. I should tell you that there is two "wacky levels" that is kind of confusing, there called, "Prologues" which the first time, Max Payne gets shot up and gets a nightmare. You actually have to beat the nightmare. The second time the bad guys OD him on a drug known as V. It's a lot more confusing and hard in the second one, bad after the second one it's good and clear though here on out. Well, I'm not going to spoil it for you, but he learns out everything and gets the real bad woman that is with all of this. Scale time.
I really didn't like playing this game, but I enjoy having it in my collector's cabinet!
Multi-player is an even better experience...Who could imagine that battles with cars and turtle shells would actually be fun? Well it is fun and will keep you playing for hours on end. This game will make your friends ask if they can come over and play. A sure hit with a gamer of any age.
4860 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tie the union between the controller's wire and the extension in a knot and put a zip tie around it and it'll never come apart, not that it should be a problem in the first place. I'm just thorough like that (and I have dogs that like to trip over wires). I'm finally free to sit anywhere in the room without worrying about controller wire slack. They were very cheap, and way easier than trying to extend your own wires.
First of all, the battle system involves having to siphon off magic spells from the enemies and grafting them into your abilities. This means that if you use them, your skills actually decrease. Not only that, but because the maximum level your characters can reach is 100 instead of 99, you're actually susceptible to the nervewracking "Level 5 Death" spell.

2753 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sill one of my favorite pc games.
The characters are great, the story is awesome, I like the battle system and materia is easy to train and use.
7707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome works great!
This game uses a simple RPG system to introduce newbies to RPGs, but at the same time, it captivates veteran gamers with a great story and interesting characters. The biggest irony is that Mario doesn't speak, which is intended to be classic because a lot of RPGs have main characters that never speak. This will surely please even the jaded RPG gamer.
When I was a kid, every Friday Night I would be permitted to go to Blockbuster and pick out a game to rent. This game was always a safe bet to rent if I did not see anything else I wanted to rent, because I knew I would be up on Friday and Saturday night beating up thugs and having the time of my life. This game just managed to be so much fun.

World 0 a basic tutorial level, only available at the start of the game.
4620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 are both very nice.. GREAT story lines and they mesh very seamlessly yet are both seperate.. Fallout 2 is pretty long and it can be played as good or evil and both ways are fun..
The depth of the game is what I think I like the best. I played Caesar 3 for a while, but there was a lack of depth to it, all farms would yield the same amount of food, there was no massive project to keep you busy, the gods were all the same, and you didn't have a lot of choice over whether you had a peaceful or warring scenario. Pharoah changes that. Your farms will yield various amounts of food or goods based on the floodplain, the meadow, irrigation, or other things affecting them. Sometimes you run out of room in a storage yard or granary, and the workers in the field will stand there and be drowned. Sure, it's a little extreme, I don't expect the average citizen to allow themselves to be drowned, but it does give the "you snooze, you lose" feeling. If you can't store it, you lose it.
A word of warning - it's extremely hard and very intense. The Marine spends most of his time running backwards from approaching aliens (and if you stand on a face-hugger, you will leap out of your skin), the Alien is vulnerable to bullets, and the Predator, whilst tough, is overcome by sheer weight of numbers. Unless you download a patch, you can't even save the game within a mission, something which is both admirably brave of the programmers and extremely intimidating.
- it's all magic... physical attacks are worthless (about 1/4 the damage)
I really like Shadow's voice in Japanese and English (seriously).
Of all the games we played growing up this one stood out due to its creativity and its soundtrack. I love the variation in the worlds, from wandering the beaches of Treasure Trove Cove to the snowy winter wonderland of Freezeezy Peak. The characters are fun, and the "violence" is very child-friendly. My mom enjoyed listening to us play it enough she went out and bought the soundtrack so she could listen on her own!
Shadowman
2475 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My brother and I rented this game numerous times and in the end finally decided to buy it. It is actually quite fun to play, with many arenas and many of the famous characters from Nintendo. Each character basically has their own arena, and all of the arenas have their advantages and disadvantages. This game is especially recommended as a gift for a child.
4556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rules, this game is a classic and it rules. 10 out of 10 one of my favorites. But this is all nostalgic opinion, still 10/10
While the gameplay is fun and interesting, the game has its flaws as well. First off, you can only save when you either complete a bonus round (which can only be access one time in each level) or when you collect a gem for destroying every crate in the level. This gets frustrating, because in order to get each gem, you must complete the level and break the boxes without losing a life, plus the fact that colored gems are required to complete certain levels. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about the box gems just yet and just try to find the bonus in the newer level you are at if you want to call it a day. You may have to do the newer level again, which tends to be a flaw.
724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game shipped quick and was in great shape works well.
Another great mega man game that revamped the x series graphics while keeping the art of 2d games. I have to do a review of one of the best mega man games.
3151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is truly the best game i ever played on the playstation game console. the character design:perfect the map:perfect the story:perfect this is the greatest games ever made by square soft are this game and close behind is chrono trigger which you can get in a joint package with final fantasy 4,another very well made square soft game and very much worth buying...later.......
4802 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 space invaders for the n64 does a great job of taking something old and making it new again. the game is good and but it still only provides little variance on the space invaders formula. if you like space invaders though, this game gives further depth to the original. i would recommend this game to anyone familiar with the original. if not don't bother.
7326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Every Mega Man title appears to have its own unique quality like the original Mega Man series, The Mega Man X series, and the Mega Man Legends series (Mega Man 64 was a great game even if it was an original port of Mega Man Legends, so don't say it's the worst Mega Man title, just because it's for the Nintendo 64) with rich, high-quality graphics, smooth animations, and addictive gameplay. Mega Man 8 came out perfect when it released on the PlayStation. The 2D graphics were flawless. The animated sprites look cool (Mega Man looks better than before) and the 2D animated worlds look great. The control and playabilty still resembles the old Mega Man series from the SNES. The voice acting is superb (Mega Man's voice matches his character, considering the fact that he looks like a little boy) except for that annoying tutor that tells you continously what to do (you know ! The one that tells you when to jump and when to slide under something). If only there was a code to shut that tutor up by shooting him down. You will see some familiar faces like Mega Man (no-duh ! He's the main character !), Bass (from Mega Man 7), Rush, Protoman, Dr. Light, and the main villain, Dr. Wily. And finally, Mega Man 8 has high-quality anime scenes that describes the story and plot of the game. Capcom is pretty good at doing anime scenes, but can't they make any Mega Man anime series based on all of the Mega Man games ? If only it we're possible. Bah ! Maybe in the future ! With superb, high-quality 2D graphics, cutting edge anime scenes, and breathtaking gameplay, fans of the series might want to waste their money on this game !
Worked for half the game, then crashed every time at loading screen.

626 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the best Snow boarding game you can get but you will get tierd of it soon
I first played the game way back when it was first released at the age of twelve. I got to about level three before it got too hard from my kid's brain to cope with. Now, with the HD version on the PlayStation 3, I am able to save my progress and easily restart each level the moment I lose it is STILL nearly impossible and that's on medium difficulty.
Although you do not NEED a Rumble Pak to play the game, your gaming experience will be enhanced if you get one. The Pak will be set off whenever Link gets near a secret area, which are sprinkled liberally throughout Hyrule. These secret areas contain goodies that you really don't want to miss out on.
They both are fun in their own right though. They were both made by Rare which did WONDERS for the N64 gracing us with the aforementioned games and also Diddy Kong Racing which I played for hours on end with friends also.
Buy.
4)Story. Most importantly story. The first time I read the Narnia series, I was almost bored by its simplicity until the Last Battle, at which time I finally started to recognize the symbolism and see the depth between the lines. The Ocarina of Time is likewise a simple story, but there is so much depth in the admittedly simple dialogue. From the opening flames, to the closing courtyard, the game draws you in. You become a part of Zelda's world. You come to trust, love, despise, or hate almost every character in the game. Even the chickens and dogs. There is a great romance between Zelda and Link, hiding just beneath the surface. Anything else? You want it, this game has it. Tension. Passion. Action. Adventure. Mystery. Comedy. Heroism. Deceit. Sacrifice. Even ghosts, mummies, and various undead for all you horror fans. By the time you finish the game, you have made real connections, for better or worse, with every character in the game. And (spoiler alert) when Zelda turns and see's young Link walking up behind her in her garden, it is so maddeningly bittersweet you don't know whether to smile or break down and cry. There is a certain Pale Rider feel, as you see everyone you've helped rejoicing at their freedom from the evil King Gannondorf, and yet knowing that your's is not the happily ever after you spent 7 years fighting for. It is emotionally beautiful. The perfect echo to the human heart.
2. Excellent interface, easy to learn, unless you play diablo.
1523 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So much fun.
PLAY WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTER: In addition to son of dracula, you can also play as a Vampire hunter with very different abilities, you just have to finish the game once.

160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a good way on getting at the helm of the RMS Titanic and I am very well satisfied with it. I do hope that any of you who does decied ot buy it will also enjoy it.
6617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No, I haven't played Final Fantasy Anthology, BUT I have played Final Fantasy 6 on the SNES and beaten it. The SNES version and PS version are essentially the same. THIS REVIEW ONLY DEALS WITH FINAL FANTASY 6. I have played some of Final Fantasy 5 on an emulator, but not enough to do a review. I have played, to some degree, Final Fantasies 1 - 9. Of all these Final Fantasy games, I would have to say that FINAL FANTASY 6 IS THE BEST TURN-BASED RPG EVER! Some people say that the music is not all that great. I disagree. Yes, it is sometimes repetitive, BUT IT SETS THE MOOD, unlike lots of games out there. ESPECIALLY the first two tunes when you start the final battle, which is really divided into 4 or 5 parts. Every time I hear those tunes I KNOW that I'm at the ending boss. The character development is OUTSTANDING. Most novels would be hard-pressed to come up with such an interesting group. Locke, Setzer, Cyan, Terra, Shadow, Celes, Edgar, Sabin, Umaro, Relm, Strago, Gogo, and Mog. If you've played the game, you just need to LOOK at these names and you INSTANTLY know who they are. The storyline is AMAZING. Magic has been outlawed, but there are some who would like to bring it back and replace technology with it. There are some parallels to Star Wars and the Wheel of Time in here. Eventually you join a rebellion against the evil Kefka. But two of the best parts in the game are: 1--when you get to the opera house for the first time. 2--when the ENTIRE face of the earth is changed and you must start from SCRATCH. I LOVE that part. It is so NONLINEAR. You have to find all your buddies ALL OVER AGAIN, but you can do it in almost any order you want. Sure, the graphics are outdated on this, but GRAPHICS don't make a game, THE STORYLINE DOES. And there is no denying that the storyline in this game is TOP-NOTCH. Final Fantasy 7 and 9 come VERY close, but no cigar. Nobuo Uematsu really put his whole heart into this game, turning out some of the best video game music ever written. If I had the money, I would buy MULTIPLE copies of this game, since I knew that I'd be returning to it again and again . . . .
4040 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow, this game is amazing. A must buy for anyone who absolutely loves rollercoasters like me. I bought this game recieved from Amazon, who delivered in excellent condiion, and played it the day I got it. At first I thought the game was mundane and boring, but I hung in there, and before I knew it I had a very successful amusement park, and I met my goal in no time at all. My Culinary Arts teacher, Mrs. Vickie Harrington, known on here as Ms. Parrothead, got me addicted to this game, and I love it. Please buy this game from Amazon. Amazon definitely delivers every time!!!!
I wouldn't exactly say that this game is "so bad it's good", because it does have appeal. The gameplay is good for killing some time.
9. SNES: The (massive) closer dungeon is a tower.
Overall (10/10): NOTE this score is not an average, it's my subjective overall score. Personally, I cannot recommend this game enough. I realize that it looks rather dated by today's standards, but it's what's inside that counts, right? The core of this game is still gold. FF7 is like a fine piece of literature-it may be old but it's still a classic.
2885 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game but you need a memory card to save game.
The PC version is much better though but do not get it from Steam if you own an old PC equipped with a 3Dfx accelerator because the Steam version does not come with 3Dfx support!
I'll start with the good, because I feel the need to stress that this is a game you'll probably enjoy. There are a lot of flaws, but the fact of the matter is that you'll probably only notice them if you go looking for them. What the game has going for it is a fairly intuitive gameplay interface, a cast of interesting characters, and a story that combines innovation with the same old epic qualities to make a nice, comforting blend. Those are the most evident qualities this game has, and they outweigh the shortcomings by a long way.
This game not only gets 5 stars because it is such a fun and challenging puzzle game, but also because many of Dr. Eggman's earliest inventions were originally featured in the "Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog" TV show. Several years ago, that show didn't seem to air anymore. Why? It was such a great show, and I love seeing Sonic and Tails' misadventures with Dr. Eggman's earliest inventions! Oh, well. At least we have this video game!
I have to say this game is worth the money. Take advantage.
Even more, Pokemon was one of the few Gameboy Games that made excellent use of the link cable. Since Red and Blue versions had different Pokemon, some only appeared in certain versions. You couldn't for example, catch a Magmar in the Red version, but you could in Blue. How then, were Red players supposed to catch all 150? By trading. Until Pokemon came around, my link cable was collecting dust. Trading was usually a slow grueling process, though. Traded Pokemon also got an experience boost so they were easier to train.
I wasn't really impressed by it, although it it's an interesting concept. I've done my best to be vague in this section so that potential buyers won't have the story spoiled for them.
GOOD:
There's also another important change in the design of the 3D controller: Left and Right "trigger" buttons! These are so much nicer and more comfortable to use than the "shoulder" buttons of standard controllers.
The levels are great.
9340 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 IT WAS VEARY FUN AND GOFFEY WAS VERY COOL IN THE GAME AND THE SEANERY WAS OK FOR A SUPPER NENTENDO GAME
Length-It took me 3-4 days to finish. There are 4 different ending, though, so you might want to play the game over or rather just save near the end to see them all. Only one of them is a good ending, though.

I could go on for days about the pleasures of this game but I've told you what you need to know. With this game now being on the 360 arcade and supposedly coming out on the PSP there is no excuse not to play it. I dream of the day when a true console sequel is made for this game with Guilty Gear Isuka quality graphics *DROOL*...
- This is the first game in the Soul Reaver franchises but a spin off of the Blood Omen franchises
7819 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was reading a pretty funny (trolling) 1-star review of this game, and I thought I'd share my thoughts.
7244 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark had excelent graphics and phenomenal ideas for it's time. Unfortunately it has been overshadowed by the PlayStation 2 and newer, shinier first person shooter games. But enough of that, let me say what this game has done for FPS fans.
3482 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 What the Resi series of games does, it does well - OTT Hollywood-style scares and genetically-mutated things that go Bump In The Night. RE 3 is no different, providing more of the same for fans who love it. It also boasts one or two gameplay improvements, but somehow can't quite get back to the glory days of the first 2 games in the series.
The graphics are pretty bad and distracting at times, & the game doesn't give you much direction a lot of the time, so it can be frustrating. However, this is a very small pill to swallow in comparison to the enjoyment and satisfaction this little game brings.
9528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've just completed the Myst Masterpiece Edition game, and found it thoroughly engrossing. While not familiar with the original edition, certainly the Masterpiece Edition boasts arresting visuals and haunting music. The major part of Myst's draw is its puzzles, some of which are fiendishly difficult, but this edition has a digital guide which can step in with some assistance when needed. While making too much use of this feature would undoubtedly take the fun out of the game, every now and then it can help keep you from becoming totally stuck and frustrated. This game tests your powers of observation, memory, intuition and reasoning in an entertaining context, and solving one of the game's tough puzzles on your own is a satisfying payoff.
Generally, a rather half-hearted effort at a real-time strategy game. It's not bad, really, it's just that there are much better games out there. Like Armada II.
In any case, the game deserves 5 stars for setting the benchmark for all future games to follow it, but the above concerns are worthy of a 1-star deduction.
BAD:
The hand drawn graphics may be 2D, but they are nevertheless gorgeous. Everything is so detailed.
5268 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Theif: The Dark Project.
Overall: 8/10 - Dirty, sexy, hilarious, neat, action-packed, thrilling, fun...it would take another few reviews to put all the adjectives that describe this game. Just play it and see for yourself! Not recommended for people under 16 years of age.

3882 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was skeptical when I first rented this video game. I never thought that anything related to golf could be interesting- and ironically I ended up buying this game a day later and playing it for hours and hours, hopelessly addicted to it. Mario Golf has many different playing modes to entertain you - Tournament (challenging tournaments where you compete for the gold cup), Play for a Character mode (to unlock another character) and many various speed trials. The characters are the classic Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser, Wario, etc, plus a many more new characters (kids, snobby golf experts, slick pros). This game is challenging but not too hard (don't worry, no golf knowledge is required). So, basically what I am saying is that this game is excellent- don't hesitate to try it out!
4011 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I'm not very happy with this because it wouldn't not load onto my computer and I tried everything I could to try to get it to load no such luck. I got to the point where I just gave up and put it on a shelf and that's where it is but every time i walk past it I get so upset that i spent money on a game that won't load on my computer. What a waste of money
4278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing this game for 2 years single player/multiplayer(LAN as well as BNet) and it still continues to thrill me the way it did when I first ripped it out of its box. Buy this game. Trust me.
I do have a few gripes for this set, though. They are quite minor in the grand scheme of things, so it didn't kill it for me too much - they are just things I wish they would have included.
5809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bough this game around 2000.... I still have it and I still play it. This is one of the best and greatest city building games of all time.
The controls were decently laid out,audio remastering did the trick,as far as I'm concerned this the inquiry of 'if it's as good or better than the PC version or not' because it's an obsolete game graphics wise. The framerate is pretty smooth to me and the graphics are spot on to me. A bad version of Doom was for the Sega 32X that was a very stripped down and clearly stuck out like a sore thumb to the PC version. The PS1 Version is an awesome alternative and is worth having....5-stars!

Graphics: 5 of 10
GREAT GRAPHICS, ART, LEVEL DESIGNS FOR A PS1 GAME: Yup not much to elaborate here. I loved the REVERSE CASTLE design and idea. Again you have to play it to see what I am talking about.
Controls: Perfect, considering you can TOTALY customise the controls to your liking! More games need this. Main difference between this and DOOM is that you can jump in Quake.
The plot is very generic. Toad wants to test everyone and see who can be the super star and thus the game that destroys friendships begin. The original Mario Party is known for its difficulty in terms of mini games as the controllers back in the day were either unresponsive or some were just way too hard and required luck. I might even add that some mini games like the tug-o-war required you to twirl your controller to the point that it might even break or hurt your hand. Yeah some of the mini-games are brutal. On the plus side, there are some memorable mini games where you had to work together to win the game and personally we didn't see that until Mario Party 9 with the boss battle.
4504 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These games got me started on adventure games way back when. KQ 6 is highly recommended for an amazing story, beautiful graphics for its time, and delightful voiceovers.
7921 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game, i first played this game when i bought my SNES console, this was the game included with the system. After having it stolen, i didn't play it for about 9 years. I recently bought another SNES console, and this was the first game I picked up. It's challenging, and very addictive. A Must for any SNES owner...
8000 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great I love it. The game is cool they sould make the game harder and have more boss's than before. If you have not play the game you sould because the game is any other game that I play before in year's. I have two games of (Zelda) there are (The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time) and (The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask) there are a great game you sould go and buy it and play it yourself. The game is fun you get to go places like under water on top of a mountain's and in cold caves inside a big fish and forest's ocean's rocky mountain's and graveyard's. nd saveing the world in the nick of time from evil king Ganondorf and stop evil monsters in each dungeon in the game. and saveing the world again... Now go play the game.
If you have a genisis then you should be lucky if you own this game...It's a classic ..
If you only have a PlayStation 3, it'll take some time and patience to get used to the visual glitches.
To add to this annoyance is the fact that there are no check points. If a level requires you to go to the top of a mountain, and you spend half an hour just getting up there and then you fall, you have to climb the whole thing ALL OVER AGAIN! So if you're like me, and find your self wondering off cliffs every other try because of the awful camera work, you will be playing the same stages over and over with no payoff but one big headache!
Buy this game! Play it until you're sick of it! That probably won't happen, but even if it does, when you come back from your break you'll be twice as hooked.
8055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There were some big shoes to fill when creating a sequel to the best side scroller on the PS1, and they pulled it off. this game does everything right, and only has one realy flaw. some parts of the game feel like a real chore. when you first arrive at the mining village, you will be doing miniscule tasks and errands (pushing around a wheel-barrel full of coal for one) for a while, this happens in another town as well. while there were central hub areas in the original, and you would receive quests there, you didn't have to do boring jobs in town while you were there.
Graphics: The graphics are not even that of the typical Playstation format, but not in a bad way. It still hangs on to its roots during story sequences, but during the battles they change entirely to appear more anime inspired, and the cutscenes may seem dated are still decent even for today. Its late old school gaming at its best which helps you harken back to when what mattered most was the...
4720 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Good: Fast fun gameplay, nice graphical style, some of the best video game music ever created, long, good story
NFL Blitz 2000, the successful sequel to NFL Blitz, contains all of the componens of each team in the AFC and NFC. Also added to the mix are incredible zany stadiums that consist of playing football on a rooftop in the middle of a city, to the classic style of an traditional stadium. Also included are humorous codes that can change the game into a war zone. Codes like No Interceptions, changing the football into the size of an giant balloon, and even super field goals, can change the face of football time and time again. It is just too bad that can't happen in the real game, it would finally make sports fun.
5600 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is quit possibly the best game ever created square is a wonderful company
1. This game is HARD. I don't mean hard as in "Challenging" I'm talkin' about the whole you-possibly-will-never-ever-complete-the-game-without-a-strategy-guide hard. The type of frustration which can rack your nerves big time.
4345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game truly a great game very good very very good lovet the races and story and characters like Jim Raynor awsome guy and love the expansion pack and want a starcraft 2 sometime(not ghost!)
It's like a first-person shooter....but....not. You're in first person mode, and you go around searching for clues in the castle. Doesn't sound like fun, right? Wrong. The graphics are beautiful and the levels are nicely done and full of goodies. Going around solving the game's many puzzles isn't tedious in any way....it's a joy, and it's a journey many should take the time to take.
There are 3 different modes you can play in this game: Mario GP (Grand Prix), Time Trial, and Battle Mode. In Mario GP you can choose form eight different characters form Nintendo games: Mario, Luigi, Princess, Yoshi, Toad, Koopa, Donkey Kong Jr. and Bowser. Then you can choose to race in the Mushroom Cup, the easiest, Flower Cup, or Star Cup, the hardest in 50cc, 100cc, or 150cc mode. 50cc mode is the easiest to race in, but in 100cc and 150cc the computer gets a lot faster and more challenging. After you win a Cup you will earn a trophy. If you beat every Cup you will unlock a secret cup which is very difficult. In GP you can play one or two players.
Processor speed: 4 or 8 MHz (two processor modes)
3290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are a fan of the RE series you will love this one. Now you can have 2 guns blazing. Nice cut scenes, this game looks better on DC than ever before. Great puzzles and lots of zombies. Resist the urge to go to walk-throughs, the puzzles seem difficult at first but they tend to be common sense. This is one of the best DC games out there.
9946 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 T2: The Arcade Game was based off of the Terminator 2 movie. In the arcades, it was played with video game guns. The home ports for the Super Nintendo and the Genesis are compatible with the Super Scope and the Sega Menacer game guns. However, you may also use the controllers, but the result of that is moving a cursor around shooting things. It isn't a bad way to play, though.
1460 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Perhaps SC3K's main problem is that it is far too detailed. Even on a speedy top-end machine the screen will fill with portions of white if you try to scroll at one of higher resolutions. Perhaps this is also SC3K's main virtue - the fact that you can see down to the last person in your metropolis. Whatever you say, despite the game's vast graphical and not-so-vast strategic advances, it failed to do what the fans of the series held closest to their hearts - personalization. The city develops completely at random within your zonal confines - you cannot make a candleshop district, a Downtown, or anything of the sort. You cannot name streets, despite the fact that you place them yourself. The papers mention you rarely and glancingly, at best, preferring to metion senseless rock bands (whose names you cannot supply either) or some other uneventful thing. The advisors are as helpful as ever - specifically, useless. They either take no notice of the trouble befalling your city, or they take notice of something very minor and blow it up to the size of a scandal. THE 1% COMMERCIAL TAX IS KILLING THE CITY! REMOVE THE PARKING FINES! All the while industry fails to develop and a major power outage goes unnoticed.

The game is so good that they are making the remake for Game Cube, and possibly other systems. Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. Anyways, the game has music that probably for me basically tops final fantasy 7, just because it is original and fits the mood perfectly. Every character has perfect voice and personalitys, so the voice acting never gets old. I've played the game like 8 times, and I loved it every minute.
Can appreciate a great library,
FINAL RATING: 10 out of 10
7614 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this alot when it came out, was really glad to have it again. Its a really great game!
The junction system is wonderfully complex, but when you have figured it out in conjunction with Triple Triad (a card mini-game) then FFVIII becomes too easy. Seriously. I'm on disc three and none of my characters are over level 25 and I'm not even trying to do a low level game. The battle system discourages leveling up which is in stark contrast to FFVII where I fought tooth and nail to get all of my characters to level 99 before the end of the first disc (for story related reasons I wanted to be a completionist to the nth degree). TANGENT! back to FFVIII.
4369 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is a joke of a game. Let's see, a campaign can be finished in an hour. The AI makes you conclude that enemy fighter pilots have a deep vindictive nature (is mine the only plane in the sky?). All in all, this game is like a new level of computer chess--boring as hell, and yet somehow intelligently scripted [SCRIPTED]!
7930 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Because you need something like that to make this game interesting and enjoyable; because its that bad!!!!!!!!!!
That was the point where I threw the game out the window, so I can't comment on how it ends, unfortunately. The voice acting was pretty lame; I don't know who told Tim Curry he could do a New Orleans accent, but he can't.
(A real bummer that the two games DIDN'T link after all).
Load times for dungeons and encounters are quick on the XP Pentium 4's and though the mouse moves way to fast for overland and combat scroll, the keyboard arrow keys work just fine.
The hardest scenero for me was vengence. You are warned to set up before detecting and it is true. I got noticed and was swarmed. I built of up defenses in order to build the army. Unfortunatly, the AI dug in rather well and it took a constant barrage of air armadas of dragons and fairies to defeat the well placed towers. Each tower was coverd by the others.

If city-building isn't a player's strong point and military is, that option is included as well. Along the military path winning criteria for each mission varies greatly from the more peaceful missions. Monuments are less grand, thus less time- and resource-consuming to build. Culture and Prosperity rating requirements are lower, giving the player the time and resources needed to concentrate on keeping their city safe rather than the epitomy of Egyptian society. (After all, at times just keeping a city is more useful to Pharaoh than if it contains the highest level of entertainment attainable.)
Other than that, the game is a dog. Sorry, fanboys, but I have to call it like I see it. Gameplay is a real snoozer: Tons of dicking around and not much combat. Everything is just deliberately slow--aircraft move as slowly as infantry on foot, et cetera. If you are looking for fast, furious, exciting gameplay, this is not the place to find it.
- Old School type game play and not combo heavy
Pros,
Entertainment Value: Super Mario World is just plain harmless fun that is fun for gamers of all ages and it should not be forgotten. I first played this game at an age of five and I know it is the cause of my interest in video gaming so I owe it much thanks. Playing it now I still recognize it as a fine achievement in the history of video gaming and that it deserves attention.
2764 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game continues to haunt my memories as an irritation because of it's length and puzzles, which usually amounted to no more than treading back and forth across the island of Myst. While the environments were increadibly beautiful, they fail to make up for the miserable gameplay, which has you go to one place at least 5 times to solve five different puzzles. The story is intruiging, yet the game's ending fails to please the player, since, you'll discover shortly after completing it, it could be completed in a matter of minutes.
2947 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When it comes to an RPG, none can top Final Fantasy. With quests galore, a great story, amazing visuals (considering the time period), and customization that is pretty respectable it still can hold its own against games today. There are even multiple optional characters! (Yuffie and Vincent). For anyone interested in gaming and RPGs this game is a must without a doubt.
8480 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Published before Final Fantasy Tactics, I didn't even know this tactics game existed until last month. An epic story, interesting combat, and enough content for one replay (hidden items on the maps). The story doesn't suffer from random encounters, the boards are challenging, often with twists unique to any tactics game, and the characters are diverse.

Zerg:Lurker. The Hydralisk from the original can now evolve even further to become a "Lurker". These frightfull creatures burrow under the ground and attack by sending out long spiked tentacle out of the ground at any nearby enemy. These are often best used in pairs or threes(or more). Though the Sunken colony(Buildinf from original) does basicly the same thing, the Lurker is hidden from units who are not ditectors and can run away if the going gets rough. Only problem is that it has no above ground defense.
I'd recommend this to any gamer that uses their gamecube controller on their wii or gamecube and wants to sit back a bit from their TV. Their "may" be a wireless alternative to a gamecube controller for these older games, but I couldn't beat the price. I didn't bother even looking for an alternative.
The game itself, though, is actually pretty interesting. You're part of one of three different factions - each one builds not only the standard little ground units, but also giant metal robots which you can customize quite a bit. You decide what kinds of arms and legs and body they have, then slowly build them while you construct your base around it.
In the end this is a definite keeper. The only way not to like this is if you are either a devoted follower to 3D games, or don't like Castlevania. Buy this now, I command you to.

This game is awsome to say the least. It is the true image of what the super NES was capable of. Topping Super NES greats such as Final Fantasy 3, Legend of Zelda, and more this title proves that 2D games are better in many ways than 3D. The huge world is only second to the tremendouse areas found in Castlevania SOTN. The bosses are difficult but not that difficult, they each have a specific pattern (Except for Ridley) and as such you must find their weakness. I honestly have no complaints about this game.
Dude, Pokemon's awesome. Stop reading this and buy it. Haters can suck on my pokeballs of 600+ Pokemon. I'm a 24 year old female and proud of playing on my NDS, battling pixelated characters, and collecting them while I am on break in my office. #comeatmebro
In the game you play as Ash, whose one single ambition is to become the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world. To do so you must collect pokemon and train them in battle. To catch Pokemon you need to engage in combat with wild Pokemon (wild animals). You choose which of your Pokemon is suitable for the fight and deminish the wild pokemon's strengh little by little untill it becomes weak enough to be captured. Once caught, the wild pokemon will become loyal and obedient. There's no 'set in stone' rule when it comes to catching Pokemon, if you fancy the look of a Pokemon, then you capture it. Wild Pokemon are scattered throughout the game and you can catch them at any time.
Despite aged graphics and controls, Silent Hill still stands out as a masterpiece. The atmosphere is still thick with tension and horror. The mechanic of keeping your flashlight off to keep from alerting enemies also keeps you from being able to see as well. This gives the game a heightened tension. Want to see where that enemy is? It will see you too. That's the trade off. The bizarre characters and mysterious story give the game a unique charm. I'd even venture to say the old grainy graphics actually contributes in a sense to the game's overall appeal. The crackling radio that warns you when an enemy is nearby still causes your blood pressure to rise. The puzzles still hold up even by today's standards.
607 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great for Star Wars fans! There are eleven single missions, but there are three bonus missions too. The first is a race on Tatooine where you fly a T-16 Skyhopper in a race against three of your squadron mates! The second is the Death Star Trench Run which the developers, in my opinion over did, because the trence is HUGE and it has to many turns. The best bonus level is the Battle of Hoth. The graphics and music are superd just like every other Lucasarts and Factor Five 5 game! Their are also secret vehicles. You can pilot the Naboo Starfighter by using a secret code (go to Lucasarts website!) the Millunium Falcon and the TIE Interceptor can be earned when you complete the game by getting all the gold medals. It doesn't take long to beat this game if your good at games like this, but ot does offer a pretty good challenge. Now go join the Rebellion and vaporize those TIE Fighters.
5628 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF VIII is hated because it is not FF VII. It offers amazing gameplay, huge sidequests, great graphics, a cast of interesting deep intertwined characters and alot of optional material. All the different summons (Guardian Forces) and the abilites they come with alone makes the game thrilling. A must play for any RPG games concerned with plots and side quests. Also you can get Odin as a"summon". I put it that way because once you get him he will randomly appear and kill every enemy.
16 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'm sure I would love the game, if I could play it, I have loved all the Hitman games thus far. The one star is due to steam. Steam is absolutely beyond annoying and they do NOT help you if you ask them. I found out after I purchased it that windows xp does not support direct X-10. I do have a high end video card but it doesn't make a difference. I recommend that no one purchase any games or other items that require steam. Perhaps then they will fix all the problems or go out of business (my favorite option). I am very good with computers (built mine) so that is not the problem. As always it's a steam issue.
2337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works great. My wife is enjoying learning about all the Pokemon with the kids.
All in all, Tomb Raider is the ultimate PlayStation game. Everything about this game is so enchanting and memorable. The atmosphere, the sounds the animals make, the noises Lara makes when falling off a rock, the music that cues to tell you something exciting is about to happen - everything! This is a true classic in video gaming history that deserves all the critical praise it recieved 6 years ago. If you haven't got Tomb Raider in your PlayStation games collection, it is not complete. Only when you purchase all 5 Tomb Raider games will your collection be complete. With the soon-to-be released Lara Croft Timb Raider VI: The Angel Of Darkness, all six Tomb Raider will keep me playing for decades, literally. I will still be playing Tomb Raider when I'm 60 years old, and I'm sure I'll not be the only one...
Even though the graphics aren't super, it is still great and I wouldn't want to change it, maybe just add a little more detail to each craft and individual.
180 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome sillcone cover for my xbox 360 controller. Fits well, but collects dust sometimes.
This is very much like the Playstation/PS2 controller. There are no analog sticks, but I hate those things anyway, so perhaps if you're still a digital thumbpad kinda person (like me), this may be all you really need to play most PC games while hardly touching the keyboard. It's a bit small and basic, but it does the job and is obviously very well made. Though I don't usually throw game controllers around in the heat and fun of playing video games, I have dropped this many times, and haven't really been easy on it, and it's still working as perfectly as the day I bought and installed it.
P.S.In Suikoden II you can load the data from Suikoden which allows more characters. So besides Konami being total genius, you should get out there, get this game and get all 108 characters!
No doubt, this game LOOKS better than Q3 does. The artwork and level design are top-notch. This is what 32-bit color was born to do, rather than just depict tones of grey, orange, and brown. The weapons fire and hit effects, along with the sounds, are excellent. You can't help but giggle when you unload your 'personal photon torpedo launcher' and it fires a torpedo that looks and sounds exactly like the ones you see on TV and the movies, and this goes for all the weapons in your arsenal.
4683 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night is a great example of how sequels should be done. Even though Alucard uses a sword instead of the traditional whip, the game seems 100% worthy of the Castlevania title (Don't worry though, if you prefer the whip style of play, you can play through the entire game with Richter once you have completed certain tasks). The gameplay is tight and refined, the graphics are wonderful, there's tons of items and rooms to find, and the music fits each section of the game perfectly. The 2 castles to explore are massive, but a teleportation system keeps you from having to back track the whole way by foot to get to a desired area. Every feature in this game was obviously paid close attention to by Konami. Fans of the Castlevania series will not be let down. This is a true classic that every Playstation owner should have.
thanks for taking the time to read my review
9425 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A fun sequel to super mario world. In yoshis island you play as a group of yoshis trying to reunite baby mario with his brother(luigi). You travel through 8 beautiful hand drawn world using eggs, watermelons, and stars to keep baby mario safe from the clutches of little bowser and his servant kammy koopa. This is a fun game and a must have for anybody who likes yoshi. :)
The characters were a very refreshing addition to a genre quickly becoming stale. Spinal was a skeletal warrior with sword and shield, Fulgore was a vicious and violent futuristic robot, Combo was a punishing boxer, and Riptor was a violent raptor, just to name a few. On top of the really neat combo attacks, each character also had a complimentary set of special moves, and even a finishing move. But the one thing everyone remembers and loves most about this game is the Ultra Combo.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Knuckles is now playable as a third character in Sonic 2, and Knuckles can now go places Sonic and Tails could never go before.
The Bad: Weak roster, awkward animations, weapons still feel kind of useless
3255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the ultimate Resident Evil. It has way better graphics, better sound, a better story... Everything is better, but it does feel just like the old Resident Evil game, it has the same feel to it. If you don't have this don't consider yourself a fan of the series.
On the other hand if you are a collector and you want a PR port check out 32X. It is one of the best ports out there. This is one of the most ported games of all time, and the Genesis is one of the ones to try to see how much they took out and how bad it was.
5150 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very fun game. tough to learn controls but great game
32 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works as advertised.
4355 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game years ago and was hooked emmediately. Blizzard has never let me down as one of thier customers and I will gladly pay full price for any of thier games(as opposed to waiting for the game to hit the bargain bin). This game still holds true as an exciting experience, single player or multi. I just bought a new computer and cant wait to play over the LAN. This game is easily better than some of the games that are comming out lately. Blizzard has such a user friendly attitude that they give you the option to copy the games multiplayer data onto 7 other computers to play on the LAN, unlike another game I purchased last week that wants you to buy a whole new copy to play in your own house.
9778 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games of all time!
So there you have it. Video games' greatest hero and villain all in one place. The coolest world combining science, sorcery, robot cats, and even a rocket ship. Music that will haunt you. An epic story about life, and humanity's place in it. Characters that feel more like friends. I keep waiting for a game to come along that will match this one, and I've played many games since. If you have never played this before then don't let the outdated graphics scare you away (I remember how impressed I was with them at the time). Even now, it's still worth it.

7105 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Something about this it's hard to put down. No I'm not struggling to put into the words, this game was addictive it was hard to get bored of. The first of its kind and what followed as a small genre of bruiser sports games where brutality was encouraged and team sizes were never more than two or three. Think NFL blitz, Wayne Gretzky's hockey, that started that all.
The second thing of note is that the Skyward Sword guide included here is NOT the same as the one originally published. It has been revised and expanded. Even the layout is very different from the original guide itself. It has been revised and expanded by over 100 pages. It is almost a completely new guide from the original one that was released. So yes, this one too is a rarity because you won't have much luck finding it outside of this particular box set.

7789 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome!!!! Would buy from again 100%
5905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thief Gold is the gold edition of Thief Dark Project, It has three new mission plus the orginal 12 levels. Thief Gold has three new levels, But they are not in the end of the game, They are very well inserted into the storyline. In the orginal game you are requierd to steal four tailsmens, Water and Fire tailsmens were in mission "The Lost City", Air and Earth tailsmens in mission "Undercover".But in Thief Gold they all have their own missions, The Earth tailsmen is in the mission "Mages Keep", The Water tailsmen is in the mission "Songs of Cravens". Besides this there is another new mission "Thieves Guild". The level desinging for all the three missions are superb and they are very large and it will take you long to complete. Besides this there are many charecters and sound too. You will love the singing charecter in "Songs of Cravens". The orginal mission's are also reworked to give great replay, "Lost City" and "Bonehoard" for example looks different and there are new villans in them. Thief Gold looks a lot better that the orginal,The AI,Graphics,Sound are very good. There is also a fourth mission a secret fun mission in the end which shows the bugs that went into prodction, Like how the water effect turned out when they initially and the orginal design for certain creatures, Even that mission is fun to play. Thief Gold is a must buy for FPS fans even for persons who have the Thief Dark project as the three new missions are fantastic.
What do I mean by challenging? Even after all of my best efforts and devoted hours to this title I still have yet to beaten it. Rayman has over 30 massive levels ( including bounus levels, ) with some of the most vibrant and imaginitive colored backrounds on each level which are layerd to look like they never end! And it works remarkably to make you believe that your in the shoes of that limbless lion-hearted hero Rayman out to save your world.
Also, these guides are going for so much seperately! I've seen used copies go for more than this set alone! Imagine in 5 years.... These will be well worth more than you pay right now.
long ,interesting, and entertaining cutscenes

3503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Considering past memory cards for past systems may not have had all the memory one could have hoped for, Sega decided to change things up when they released the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast VMU (Visual Memory Unit) is a step ahead in designing home system memory cards. Included is a small LCD screen with working buttons to play mini-games along with other features (for example raising Chaos in Sonic Adventure or playing a Pac-Man type game with Namco Museum). You can take the top off the VMU and transfer files into another VMU or link it up to play mini-games together. The VMU can hold up to 200 blocks of memory, and while this may seem like a lot, most of Sega's 2K2 sports titles take just about 200 blocks of memory just to save options let alone a team season. Not to mention that after a while the battery life of the VMU LCD screen will die, and that happens quicker than expected, but the LCD screen isn't necessarily needed if your just using the VMU as a memory card and nothing more. All in all, I would recommend at least 3 or 4 VMU's for Dreamcast owners; they're cheap and affordable and you can still find them at game retailers.

6997 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Well this game features some of the best graphics Ive ever seen and its easier to learn how to play than Rogue Leader but what were they thinking when they decided not to have a save option?N64 is a superior machine so its not like it doesnt have enough memory to support a save option and even old games like Metroid and The Legend Of Zelda let you save your progress with a password. This game is just like one of those arcade games at movie theatres because its fun to play for a while but pointless to try and beat it because it just doesnt let you save. The new Star Fox game for Game Cube sure as hell better have a save option.
Some of these are:
Overall, a worthwhile contribution to the genre.
Somewhat difficult towards the end.
While gameplay should be the number one concern of any developer, the graphics (while beautiful) are the same as they ever were. However, keep in mind that beautiful graphics cannot mask an uninteresting or unoriginal game (Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, Unreal, Quake 3 Arena). Great gameplay will always shine through mediocre or outdated graphics (Starcraft, Caesar 3, Prince of Persia).
This game has a special place in my memory and hope that they re-release this on computer someday to play.

1087 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 man, i remember getting this game when i was around 9 years old, and alll those hours i spent beating this game over and over again. I Gurantee I've beaten this game at least 100 times, Honestly! Though the N64 is outdated, from time to time I take it out of my closet and plug it in just to play this game. I hope the twilight princess will be just the same!

Hey if your thinking about getting this camera for your GBA or whatever system you have I would defently recommend this camera plus when you take a picture you can rotate it paint on it control the brightness and contrast plus you can doodle on the picture too this camera is so freaken awesome. TURN ON YOUR GBA AND HIT THE PLAY BUTTON ON THE CAMERA YOU'LL LOVE THE GAMES THEIR FREAKEN AWESOME!!!
Blast Corps is very fun to play alone and with friends taking turns since it doesn't support 2-player. I can also recommend this to younger kids since it's full of Tonka and giant robot goodness without any violence (that's of course if you don't consider explosions `violence'). Overall, a must-have for any Nintendo 64 gamer!

2004 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starfox was one of the premiere games for the Super Nintendo, boasting some of the best graphics that any platform of the time could show off and yes the game, at the time, did deliever in what could be described in a "Tour de force" performace. When the game transitioned making it's way onto the Nintendo 64 I had to hail the calling of this game and buy it, so I did. The result? I was as happy as any person could have been after spending the money for this game, and it was worth it. The game is easy to beat, but, only on the easy route. There are hundreds of ways that give this game a replay value that could be unmatched at the time, such as getting medals for every planet in the "Galaxy" in order to unlock expert mode, or the ability to win tanks in multiplayer mode, or even be able to fight on foot. So, is this game worth the money you would pay for it now? yes, give this game a home on your shelf. Enjoy.
You can play this game with your buddies or with your mother & still have a great time.
I must say, disregard any and all crap people say about this game, or the Turok series, for that matter.
The graphics are attractive, and they were considered very good for its time. Of course, now the 2D backdrops and limited animations are considered dated. The graphics do not detract from the ambience however, all of the monsters have plenty of color, and weather kicks in every now and then. Your character isn't very complex in the animation department I must admit. After all, how many different ways can a Barbarian swing a sword? The different skills do look cool however, like the Sorceress' blaze, where she leaves a trail of fire in her wake.
This game should be a requirement for all PlayStation owners.

9941 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 interesting idea of konami to use the idea of each stage taking place in a different country some players may find it difficult to finish theres one thing i thought wasn't fair if you start with 4 lives then go on to stage 2 with 2 lives you use all your lives & then when you get a password then you decided to use it & you find yourself starting exactly with the same number of lives at the stage where you left off (2 lives) i would recommend trying to find a 1up so you have more lives than you originally started with & then use them all up so you can get that password i dod the same exact thing for every level so i would never be short on lives

1479 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Overall, it's a pretty good game. 1 star taken off because it does not feature the original soundtrack, and because of this many levels are silent or have different music. another star taken off because of load times, the graphics, lag (come on, no amount of enemies should make a game like this lag), and the censoring of some levels. Also, no 2-player Co-op, only online which is stupid. If you simply MUST have it on PSX then you'll enjoy it, if not then just buy the PC version.
It took nearly two years for other companies to develop the feel of the game, the exact same way Nintendo did with Starfox 64. The game is exactly one of a kind in the pilot seat. While Nintendo stopped releasing the Rumble Pak with the game nearly six months later, Starfox 64 is still truly a Nintendo gamer's paradise.
P.S.- As I mentioned earlier, there are secret levels in every zone. I found all of them except the one for the Mario Zone. Is there one for that zone, and if it is can someone tell me how to get to it. That is the only one I do not have. Thanks.
848 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Banjo Kazooie is a game I've played many times since I got it in the early 2000s and while its fun, its not the most entertaining game I've played. There's two main objectives in Banjo Kazooie: hunting and gathering. You hunt for these jigsaw pieces called Jiggys to help you complete jigsaw puzzles to open worlds. You gather all sorts of items within each level like musical notes, Jinjos, Mumbo tokens, feathers, etc. This concept gets boring after awhile but nevertheless the game is pretty fun as a whole. I'd recommend the sequel, Banjo Tooie, instead as its 10 times more entertaining.
3588 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 9/9/99. The day Sega released the most powerful console ever in the U.S. Some of the games at launch(or shortly after) were: Sonic Adventure, NFL 2k, House of the Dead 2, Hydro Thunder, Soul Calibur, etc. All of these games had graphics better than anything seen on a console before. The revolution was about to begin.
1817 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Crash!! What a wonderful game! It revolutionized the gaming console! Created by the Naughty Dog team that went on to create what some consider the greatest PS3 game of all time, Uncharted 2. Crash is a non stop adventure loved by kids AND adults.
The graphics were definitely of the era. In 1996, this game's graphics would astound any who saw it. Twelve years later, they are clearly dated. Many games of this era can't stand the test of time (strangely, games of the 16-bit era age more much gracefully, and even modern games have become throwbacks to the visuals of that time period), but Resident Evil fares better than many Playstation titles. Many of the pre-rendered backgrounds are highly detailed and set the mood wonderfully. Given the polygon count of the day, its pretty easy to tell where your character stands against the backdrop, and conversely, where the enemy stands. Thankfully, the color schemes applied to enemy and ally serve to blend objects and backgrounds together seamlessly.
9330 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first played this game in 1994, I knew I was in for not only fun, but for a challenge. I had to get use to switching all of Link's items on the inventory screen - including the power bracelet, sword, and shield - for example of which are some of the items that Link is usually automatically equipped with from the other games while the "B" button was used for other weapons that Link can switch to. That was kind of annoying. The navigations and secrets (for progression) were a bit more like a guessing game unlike the NES titles and A Link To The Past. I do commend the game for the consistency of the original gameplay and use of many items like the past Zelda games. The story's plot mentions Link's boat being crashed due to a thunderstorm and being washed up on shore of Koholint Island so the kingdom of Hyrule is non existent in this game and neither is Princess Zelda. With help from new friends (like the beautiful Marin, her strange Uncle Tarin, and a annoying, yet wise owl), Link must defeat 8 different nightmare guardians so he can aquire 8 different instruments to unlock the egg to awaken the Wind Fish (his only means of returning home), but not before defeating the last nightmare creature that takes the form of Ganon and other enemies from Link's past. After winning the game, it turns out that the town of Koholint and all of its inhabitants were all non existent and Link was dreaming the whole time (kind of like Super Mario 2 from NES). At the time, Link's Awakening was the most challenging Zelda game I played (besides The Adventures of Link on the NES). Unlike any other Zelda title, there are some great secret features in the game that the player can use such as "stealing" items from the store (yes, you can take items from the store while make the store clerk look the other way while you quickly go on your way), but don't come back to the store and be prepared to have the people you come accross call you "THIEF" instead of the name you registered..lol. I still have my original copy so I can try to beat it again. Its a fun game and I'm glad that the first portable Zelda game was done right.
For starters, there are 5 available classes to play with. The fierce Amazon, who excels in javelin and ranged weapons, the melee-specialist Barbarian, the Sorceress, who excels in flinging destructive spells, the undead-raising Necromancer and the holy Paladin. All of the 5 classes have drastically different playing styles, and there is no skill sharing here. Every class is meticulously detailed in every aspect of their skills available, to provide a unique gameplay experience.
5069 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are many excellent survival horror games on the market, but there are very few games as disturbing as Silent Hill. Whilst playing, there are moments when you will be completely freaked out by the bizarre and nightmarish things that are happening to your character Harry Mason, as the game charts his search for his missing daughter, lost after a car accident in the deserted town of Silent Hill. Don't expect an easy time in this game, the town is filled with horrific beasts and apparitions, which will chase and attack you. As in most games of this nature, you're aim is to explore the eerie town and delve deeper into its secrets by solving puzzles (usually morbid or goulish in nature!) and collect ammunition and weapons to help you survive the onslaught. But even during the quiet moments, the sense of dread is so realistic that you will be completely drawn in to the game. The story is bizarre to say the least, and often very distressing. Even the "best ending" to the game (there are several) is downbeat and elegiac. It might sound like I am exaggerating about things here, but I can clearly remember several sections of the game when there was nothing to do but panic, a feeling that no other game has since produced. Some events in the game are completely surreal, with strange noises and phantom figures appearing with no explanation, the result being that playing Silent Hill is like living inside someone's nightmare. This game should be experienced by everyone brave enough to take the challenge.
*Crazy Taxi 1 & 2- Great light-hearted arcade fun. The first one was re-released on PS2 & GC unaltered. Also released on XBLA in widescreen, but soundtrack was completely changed.
Hybrid Heaven
Cons: Arcade-like, fake-ish prototype aircraft, ditzy aircraft and vehicle AI, NO MISSION BUILDER.
Characters: Some of the most diverse ever seen and very deep with different backgrounds. I think the first time I really got a sense of how immense this story was getting was when I first went into Shinra Mansion with all the creepy creatures you fight and head into the basement where all the Shinra research was stored regarding JENOVA, Sephiroth and the experiments. The characters sucked you in with their drive and emotion to the situations. Making you want to keep going and see whats around the next corner.
did you ever see an orginal arcade Ninga GAiden? YOu get to use a move similar to the swing on the street posts, but unfortunaly not as offense but as a way to shoot in 360 directions. Some areas take place crawling on scafolding aka ryu, but nothing as acrobatic.

- The challenge in Medal of Honor is perfect for people who are NOT professionals when it comes to first-person shooters. The challenge in each level builds and builds, very slowly, allowing you to learn and master the controls while you make progress. Syphon Filter fails to do this. So does Metal Gear Solid. Medal of Honor is an easy-to-understand shooting game for people who normally aren't very good at these kind of games. I really want to thank DreamWorks (the company responsible for this game) for making the challenge just right.
7066 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Games okay, but got it new for the expasion pack for my new n64
I'll start with the battle system. The battles you run into to aren't random; you can see them on the screen, and avoid some of them if you don't want to battle. A lot of them are impossible to avoid, though; this is needed, so you aren't just running through the game not fighting. You have the usual attack, run, and skills during the battles. When you have your character do a physical attack, he will move to the enemie he's attacking and stay in that spot while the enemies do their attacks. Some of the enemy attacks will move your character a spot or two back. This way, there's some strategy involved on the placement of your character. Each enemy has a certain amount of spots it can move, so if you want to stay away from some of them, don't attack an enemy that's surrounded by other enemies, because they all will be in attacking range, and they will all get a good attack in on you. A lot of the times, I didn't really worry about this, but it's a little added strategy to the battles other than the usual fighting. One of the more useful ways of taking advantage of this, though, is to defend on one turn, let the enemies move close to you, and then hack and slash away. This way, you don't move in without getting an attack on your enemy, and letting them attack you. Be smart, and you can avoid a hit here and there. The battles are turn based, by the way; none of that meter stuff seen in most Final Fantasy games. Really either way is good to me.
In real life, it was hours, weeks, sometimes months of boredom interspersed with moments of sheer terror. "Hurry up and wait" was as typical of WWII as "Kilroy
4029 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 10 years ago I was big in this game playing Team Fortress Classic. Its a server you play online with others. Red team vs Blue team and you play to capture the flag. Great strategy! Theres a variety of characters and each team needs just the right amount depending on your opponents team you may need to adjust yours and have somebody be a different class to help defend the fortress / capture the flag. Classes are: Scout - Heavy Demolition Man - Sniper - Soldier - Spy - Engineer - Pyro - Medic, etc. A lot of fun playing any of these characters and each have their own attributes. While playing Team Fortress Classic you can play just to have fun as a "noob" or get more involved with the game and play as if you were in the military! Have a headset so you can chat with your team members to talk strategy while defending the fortress. Communication is a must when it comes to military style games so if you knock down the opposing teams sentry guns (or snipers, or cleared their base of whatever whatever), its good to let your other team members know so they can advance forward (put more on offense than defense).
988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Turok 2 is one of the best games ever made.
So, this game might not be the best wrestling game out there. It could use more wrestlers and a few more options. But compared to its predecessors Royal Rumble and WWF Raw, it is quite a bit more addictive. Besides it's good to have some spontaneous wrestling for a change, without memorising the moves. Most any wrestling (especially WWF) fan will derive some serious amusement out of this one.
That being said, this game now well beyond its' years is still the best RPG I have ever played. Close to being the best game ever. By todays standards, the graphics are horrid, but couldn't have been done better. Very colorful and every part of this game was a refreshing look at something new. Your charachter goes from a centrally located city, to fortified town, to a beach resort, to an amusment park and so on and so on. At one point you end up in outerspace. There is to much to describe in a review, lets just say there is plenty to see and do.
Graphics: Since this is the original Playstation, you kind of have to take everything at face value: they look blocky now and lack the clarity of Sons of Liberty or the huge polish of Snake Eater but it was on a lesser console so it makes sense. But at the time it was impressive with lots of cutscenes, done very movie-like and indeed the environments were well handled.

This game is appealing to children and to adults, particularly because things can get pretty complicated. This game will teach you manage many things at once quickly!
1.) The dreamcast has hundreds of third party software developers that rely on revenues derived from Dreamcast users. They certainly don't want this platform to go away. They will undoubtly support the continued production and release of more games.
The game itsself is compiled of 6 zones that contained 3 acts each. Each zone, obviously, incresing in difficulty as the game progressed. At the end of the third act in every zone, you must fight against the evil Dr. Robotnik. If you didn't know, Dr. Robotnik is the one who captured all of Sonics' friends and turned them into robots. After you defeat him, he flys off and you then destroy a capsule and save some of your friends from being roboticized.
3789 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, this game makes me shed a tear because as I am writing this review two things are happening
This game is ranked right next to the Jumanji board game, both should be thrown into the sacred ark, welded shut, put into a create, and shipped to a warehouse somewhere, and there it will be "dealt with TOP... MEN." Because this game will melt your face off while you're screaming in agony.
3557 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very good gaming system. It was released by in September of 1999. I think that Sega made their point out when they installed the 56K modem with this. It's a really nice feature to have and now every modern-day system comes with a ethernet or dial-up modem port. I didn't rate this a perfect because I think that the graphics aren't that good. I really don't like how the controllers are. But I think that atleast they have disks because since NES-N64 Nintendo has been using cartridges and Sega made cartridges in the beginning but they changed to disks before the Nintendo (and atleast their disks are normal). They have some good games like Sonic which are really good games to own. Here are the technical specs of the Dreamcast.
Your villains are as interesting as the protagonist and the games grand scope of ideas. It's perhaps to cinematic for people who aren't fans of long drawn out story.
Whereas the Mario series can be enjoyed by kids and adults respectively, Banjo-Kazooie is certainly intended solely for children and no other age group. It's too shallow of a game overall to satisfy adult gamers. Banjo-Kazooie is like walking into the nicest looking restaurant in town and everything is great except for one thing- you get a small quantity of food so you ask yourself "Is it worth my time to return here again?"
Lake Shore Paradise
Each stage has the same goal: go from point A to point B. Yoshi can run, jump, duck down and do his flutter kick which lets him hover in the air for a few seconds. He can also swallow most of the enemies and turns them ito eggs. They are your ammo for shooting at other enemies or stuff floating in the air. Some stages call for you to transform into objects (submarine, train, helicopter, etc.) while others let you control Baby Mario after you touch a "Starman" (this game's version of the invincibility star.) After you finish each stage, you are graded in points with 100 being the most you can earn. Getting a perfect score on each stage in every world means unlocking a secret stage in that world. The game provides 3 separate save slots and saves your game after you complete a stage.
6645 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the top 10 games I've ever played in terms of enjoyment garnered and time invested. There's a lot of love in this game. Years later, I still find things I've never seen before.
You get three lives per credit and nine continues for a total of 30 lives, though you'll earn an extra life or two along the way when you attain a certain score. However, there is one point in the game...the rocket you approach from behind...where, if you fail to defeat it within the given time limit, it's GAME OVER no matter how many lives or continues you have left! So, unless you want to see the "bad" (or should I say "worse"?) ending, I'd advise you to get yourself killed if it looks like you're not gonna get the job done in time. Then, you'll get another shot at it.
4318 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am not given to strong statements, but in this case I will make an exception---THE BEST GAME EVER! It's very easy to get started, will run on "slower" computers, and once you get into it, you can't get out! You get totally lost in the world you create---it's so much fun making rides and then watching people enjoy them! I love the way you can pick a certain person to watch, and see what rides they pick, the way you have SO much control over designing rides, the ease of making coasters, although they can be quite fancy, basically I love everything about this game. I am not a "gamer" but I got so hooked on this it was almost scary!

The controls are easy to learn and very smooth
8183 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So until now Mega Man X has been on the Super NES but now it has made its debut on the Playstation 1! In this title you can play as Mega Man X OR Zero for the first time, and by first time I mean unlike Mega Man X 3, Zero won't warp out as you reach a boss forcing you to play as X for the remainder of the stage. The game has a lot of fun Anime style cut-scenes that add depth to the story line and each character has their own story line too! As always 8 main bosses through the game, countless secret rooms to find and amazing powerups to be had by all. Zero's Saber techniques add a higher difficulty during play-through as opposed to using the X-Buster through the stages for long ranged attacks. - Definitely worth looking into!
Graphics (score 8/10): Well, since this version of Lunar (the Playstation version) was enhanced from the original, it looks really good for an older RPG, especially when compared to the playstation ports of Final Fantasy V and VI. However, the graphics are still undeniably dated. On the bright side, anime cutscenes are interspersed throughout the game. There's also an anime portrait whenever they speak, which adds much needed detail to the characters (so you can see what they really look like).
2945 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VII was a major hit in 1997 it was also the first final fantasy game not to be on a Nintendo console. This game has gone on to be without a doubt the most popular final fantasy game if not the most popular jrpg game ever made, and with good reason.
5058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Silent Hill revolutionized the Survival Horror Genre by creating a world that attempts to scare the player on a deep, psychological level. Previous Survival Horror titles (Clock Tower, Alone in the Dark, and Resident Evil) relied upon sudden and unexpected encounters with enemies to get you to jump out of your chair, whereas Silent Hill introduced a world of subconscious, and was not simply a test of your reflexes.
-I LOVE THE MUSIC IN THIS GAME
2082 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game had the potential to be great, but the controls were very difficult to maneuver with, as your thumbs will become very sore after trying to move your character with the D-pad for however long you play the game. If you can find yourself a specialized D-Pad for fighting games, or one that can override the Dualshock analog limitations, than you just may be good to go, but you can easily take a lot of damage, and you can't save anywhere like you would be able to if you played any of the Doom games, or Quake. If you want something that will scare the jeepers out of you, then go ahead and play this, but if you want a comfortable game with horror elements, I think you are better off playing Doom 3, Silent Hill, the original Quake or Resident Evil 1-3. These are my two cents.

1252 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a big Crash fan and got this game the Christmas it came out. This game is incredible. Its easy enough for young kids (about 6 or 7) or even really experienced gamers (age depending.) It has very good graphics for a PS1 game, and you can use the dual shock or regular controls in this. Unlike former Crash games, you use more devices than before, and in some levels are actually Coco (Crash's intelligent little sister.) For example:
D2 does have a few good ideas, though. Gems are very cool, but the fact that they come in five or six different quality levels, plus the fact that items can have widely varying numbers of sockets for them, only worsens the "too much stuff" problem. The Horadric Cube is an awesome idea, because it allows you to do really fun things. You put random things into it, and if you're lucky, they'll combine into something new! You can take 3 gems of a given type and quality, and the Cube will compress them into one gem of the next highest quality. Combine 2 packs of crossbow bolts to get one pack of arrows, or 2 packs of arrows for one pack of bolts. No one but Blizzard knows all of the possibilities. I also love the addition of "set" items, or in other words, unique items that power each other up as you find more from each set. Unfortunately, it is, for all practical purposes, impossible to find all of the items in any one set, leading to hours upon hours of frustrated searching. Let's see, I mentioned Gems, the Horadric Cube, set items... were there any other positive additions to D2? I can't remember any more...

Very pleased with it even months after purchase.

5293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Harvest Moon 64 is very much like Animal Crossing, which came out two years later. It's a you-either-love-it-or-you-don't game. The game reeks of repetition, but it just has that charm that keeps certain people coming at it over and over. I suppose what really determines which of the two aforementioned categories is how good you are at it. I mean, if you really suck at it, like me, you would spend all day trying to water your plants, and have no time with any interaction, which is the true heart and soul behind this game. Sure, growing crops, raising animals, and foraging are important, but if that's all you do, you're not experiencing this game to its fullest.

As a puzzle game, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions is fantastic. It gets repetitive having to do some of the same missions over and over, and it may only really just be an expansion of one of the bonuses in Metal Gear Solid, but it still serves as a fantastic game for those who crave to do more VR Missions.
6888 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has phenomenal music. I purchased a high-end speaker system just to hear how amazing it truly is, and it was well worth it. Oh yeah, and the game itself is great. Playing the game adds to the whole experience, but the music is what makes this game so great. Perfect for anyone who owns a Nintendo 64.
And after you finish with Silent Hill (although you may want to periodically return) you can dive right into another very scary series of games called Fatal Frame.

8435 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Trek, the Final Frontier... these words are of the great history of the Star Trek universe. The whole concept of this world is amazing and very likable.
1944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love playing this game on my PS2. I'm not even going to get the gamecube version because it's exactly the same as the good old PSone version. Very entertaining and mysterious.
If you're an RPG fan then you probably already have this title. Then, if you're one of those people who are afraid of the effort required to play an RPG, you'll feel differently after playing this one. I recommend this title to all gamers except for the weak-minded ones (the ones who complained that this one is too hard). You may get bored in the beginning but by Disc 2 you won't be able to stop playing.
775 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No complaints. Love the game

It's exciting. It's thrilling. It's challenging. It makes you think. The people in it are actual PEOPLE, not a bunch of cardboard cutouts in black pajamas and weird makeup trying to advance the useless plot. And above all, you never ONCE hear anyone say anything remotely like "Modify the subspace harmonic phase variance yada yada yada..." If I never hear that weak plot device crap again, it'll be too soon. Not only that, it has things and concepts in it that not only make you think, "Yeah, they SHOULD have something like that," it'll also make you say, "Why didn't they EVER have that?"
You are playing the character of a man named Ash. He is the head of a security force for a local governement. The game starts with you pretending to be merchants, taking goods across to another town, when your suddenly ambushed by cutthroat thieves. Little do they know, is that they were the ones ambushed. When you suddenly reveal yourselves and attack them first. From this point on in this game, the strorie becomes very interesting. Eventually your sent across the sea to discover the wherabouts of a missing person, and then to ancient tombs, and just about anywhere else you can imagine. Along the way you pick up allies that help you along the way.
RE 3: Nemesis focuses more so on action than anything else, and there is (thankfully) more than enough ammo and herbs to go around. I think that this is probably the easiest of the Resident Evil games, not saying that you won't encounter the "You Died" screen on occasion, but less often than in other installments. This is also the shortest game in the series. The voice acting is dramatically better than previous games, as well as the in game cut scenes a little more fleshed out. However the story is not as fleshed out as it should have been. The game does have some advantages. It is the first game to allow you to ascend and descend stairs without using the action button, and it was the only game of the series to have a functional dodge button, which was great. I also enjoyed the gunpowder mixing. All in all this game is a lot of fun, short, but sweet, and although it is not the pinnacle of the series it is a worthy sequel. Plus the DreamCast version has more than enough extras to keep a person busy for a while. Lie RE 2 this game is being ported to GCN with minimal improvements. I only wish that Capcom would consider a total remake of this game as well with more story elements. If future installments of RE are to keep the tank like movement than I hope that they will reincorporate the dodge button.
Just like on Myst Island, the clues you discover on the five islands in Riven are what reveal the story to you. "Riven" is increasingly more complex than "Myst" in that regard. Everything is just bigger and, in my opinion, better. The graphics have improved tremendously; the Quicktime videos used for all the animations in the game are improved; the puzzles are harder and are more integrated into the storyline than ever before; and there is actually character interaction in this game - much more so than simply meeting people through Prison Books, like in "Myst."
3934 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As the other reviewers point out, this is an hillariously addicting little game. The game works find in the Windows 95/98/ME environment, but I've yet to get it to work in XP (I just use a dual boot system to play this game).
7015 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great like always.
I recommend you get SOR2 on Xbox live arcade. You can find all SOR titles on the Sonic's Genesis Collection for Xbox 360.
8836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was awesome for it's time. It was visually amazing, the sounds were sharp and realistic, and everyone was unique. If you used the cheat, you could unlock the two headed boss, Eyedol. That made the game experience even more fun. The CD it came with has awesome tracks to play as well if you manage to find one with it.
FF6: I think this is the best one in the series. there is absolutly no real "Main" character in this game. For those who are confused, what I mean is that, well for example, FF7 you have about 9 characters but the leader character is Cloud (the one you see and control in the fields in the majority of the game), well in this game you can have 4 different characters in your party and you have the ability to put in any character as the leader. The characters are excellent in this game, I pretty much like all of them (Gau is funny, but he doesn't have the best abilities and one of the secret characters you can't even control them at all during battle). Sabin having the Blitz ability. for those of you who have been playing fighting games for years will have a pretty good understanding of this but sadly when you make a move, no matter which direction your facing, you still hae to put in that same command in the same direction. for instance, one of the moves is RLR (I am talking about Right Left Right on the control pad) and if your character is facing to the right, then you have to insert that command, but if you are facing the opposite direction, it is still the same command (not the opposite combination). when I first beat the game, before beating it, I got all of the characters to level 99. This game also has some of the best music for a FF game (at the time anyway).
5400 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this is a pretty fun game if you're in the mood just to destroy tuff. there really is nothing to this just destroying buildings. it get boring in a while but it's fun.
-expansion pack is needed to play most of the game
After 8 years LORDS of MAGIC did not get older, it got better.
The graphics aren't that great now, but at the time I bought it I thought they where pretty good. But it was made a few years ago, so of course the graphics were not as good then.
I love GTA. It's a great game, but why does the '88 NES Super Mario Bros. have superior graphics to a PS1 game from 1999. It defies rational explanation and this game defies all rationality itself.
1639 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was brought into the Tenchu series with Wrath of Heaven (not a great place to start...), but after renting and eventualy buying the third Tenchu instalment, I made it a point to track down the originals. I'm writing this review in 2005, a time of Metal Gear Solids, online Splinter Cells, and innovative Hitman games. Yet this title, released in 1998, still impresses, and is well worth effort of tracking it down and buying. Some things a buyer needs to heed however is the lack of analog control. For gamers raised on analog controllers, this game may be a little hard to manage at first. Also, the game, which emphisises stealth and patience is not without a frustrating moment or two, as the camera can be troublesome in places, and there is no in game save feature (try spending 2 hours working to get a good rank on a level, only to be killed by the level's extremely difficult boss, and be sent back to the begining...). All together, the game features an impressive aray of Ninja weapons and items, decient replay value, two playable characters and a good story that sets the stage for several sequels. While it may feel simplistic to gamers hardened on newer stealth titles, and the graphics may not feel as polished, Stealth Assassins is a difficult chalenge and rewarding experience for anyone willing to overlook some simple flaws, and who possesses a good deal of patience. I highly recomend it.
Secret: Items are Fun!
7695 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun game, so bloody.
7488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really like the product, and it got here really fast too, thanks for everything.
BAD:
227 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This thing is really great for those with a big PS2 collection. The only issue I came across was that Kingdom Hearts games would not recognize them, thus being unable to save. It was unfortunate, but I already had an official one from SONY to handle those rare exceptions. Would certainly recommend.
2010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Party is a fun board game video game where you are on a game board trying to earn stars. You hit blocks to determine the number of spaces you move and earn or lose things depending on the space you land on. Then, at the end of each turn you play a mini game. There are other fun things to do, like play in the mini-game stadium, shop for new games and play individually to earn prizes. However, one major downer? The rotating hand games. Play this game enough and games like "Cast Aways" the one with the light bulb, and the 1 vs 3 riverboat game will cause blisters in your hand!
8733 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great, just as I remember!
I've had Game Boy since I was a child of 7. I had the old gray bulky one. I loved that one. That means that the Game Boy Color was even better!
The good:
This game has been ported to many systems, but it has never been remade. There are fans that would LOVE to see this game remade (myself included) with cleaner graphics, in HD, and a couple of tweaks; one of them being you can move in a 360 position with a weapon, and if you get trapped by a zombie, you can get out of the way before he/she starts to enjoy their manwich.
9720 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic car shooter.
there are other things to look out for besides enemies like suspicious pressure pads, doors that you are approaching (which sometimes open and an bat wielding goon comes out) Or simply break away floor boards. If there is one hint I can give you is that *Always* draw your pistols when your going down an new hallway. You'll be glad you did.
This game is a must have for any rpg gamer .
Annette (in Claire's quest) is actually trying to stop Ada from getting the G-Virus and makes the assumption that Claire is after her husband's work (William Birken is actually the father of the G-Virus, which after a raid he is shot and he injects the G-Virus into himself and basically becomes a menace for both characters).
4496 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The reason I'm still getting PSX games is nostalgia but also because there are few games these days that match the awesomeness of the wipeout franchise. Having played this on both PSX, PSP and PS3 I must say the wipeout games never disappoint. The techno soundtracks are a good match for this type of racing game. If you are like me it will not matter if you get this or the more recent versions, it will be as fun!
6966 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has brought back so many great memories playing it i had to buy it for my boyfriend...We just got the new Sega system and we cant stop playing .

8891 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tetris is one the best block-dropping puzzle games out there. Heck, it revolutionized that! Along with arriving on NES, it also plopped onto the portable Game Boy. It has all the same content as Nintendo's NES version, but with an addition of a 2-Player versus mode, and portability on that classic green and black pocket buddy!
4973 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just replayed this game in 2016, wanted to write a review on it through that lens.
I spent 4 good months playing this game and i finally beat it recently but that hasn't stopped me from planning round 2 and buying the brady guidebook to find all the secrets.
People complain that this game has no replay value, is too easy, and the graphics aren't good.
4601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This may not be a gigantic leap over the near-flawless Wipeout XL, but as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In fact, with the addition of Challenge modes, as well as the return of the Tournament mode, Wipeout 3 is the most complete game of the 3. Graphics are incredibly smooth and fast, as usual, with little to none of that background "pop-in" that plagued the first two. The ships look a little like Lego though. Wipeout's claim to fame (other than vomit-inducing speed) has always been its pulsing soundtrack, and this time around, it can be the best of the 3 (Chemical Brothers' Influence and Sasha's Xpander) but it can also be the worst (an uncharacteristically weak tune from Orbital and the rest of Sasha's contributions). No fear, though, because the gameplay has been relatively untouched. The biggest new feature is the hyper-thrust. The R1 button sacrifices shield energy for a little extra speed, which minimizes the loss of speed from hitting the wall (believe me, you WILL hit the wall). There are some new weapons, including the force wall and energy drain, but no turbo boost(sob...). It's also important to mention that combat plays a much larger role in this outing. It can mean the difference between 1st and 6th. I haven't stuck with it for exceptionally long, but I've noticed that it is much harder to win in this game, except on Vector (which isn't how you should be playing anyway). I find that a good thing though. I'm now at the point where I'm winning the Venom circuits, but still struggling to win gold with the Rapier Class. I also like the idea that you start with 4 tracks and 4 ships, but if you win enough races, you'll end up with 8 tracks (check out the Manor Top) and 8 ships (Icaras is a treat). It can be frustrating finishing 4th all the time, but the reward of finally winning is worth the effort. If you're a fan of the Wipeout series (you probably are if you're reading this) then Wipeout 3 is just as good as any other. If Wipeout has never really appealed to you, then you should save your money this time around too (for a shrink).
The game is set in the city of Sigil, in the Planescape world. The planescape is not your average "Tolkienish" world, it is very strange and has alot of odd and different features compared to i.e. Forgotten Realms.
9249 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item arrived on time and as described. Would purchase from again. Thanks! Awesome game!
Even though I had a lot of fun playing The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past in the mid-90's, and probably went through the quest at least 30 times, I don't think I appreciated the game as much as I should have. I don't think I realized back in 1995 that I was playing a classic Nintendo game. I didn't realize Zelda: Link to the Past has a perfect balance of RPG, action, and adventure, and not many games can successfully pull off such a daring idea. I should have known that if anybody could do it, it'd be Nintendo.
In the game you have to get three stones somewhere. One in the Deku Tree and One in Goron City and One in the Zora's Domain. Some time in the game you will be older, by the time you look around the place will be dead.
Despite the move from 2D to 3D, the gameplay in Final Fantasy 7 is similar to the previous six Final Fantasy games. As you control your character on an overworld map, you encounter random mobs which you fight in an "active time battle" system. The magic system, based on "materia", is new and just complicated enough to provide some strategic depth without overwhelming new players. Playing through the main story is not particularly challenging (some bosses may require a few tries), but there are extensive side quests available at the end of the game, some of which are very involved and difficult without a solid strategy.
Basically it is like Shining Force 2 where you get people and can upgrade them. You get a choice for most of your characters and each game you can try different jobs to see what you like. This game has alot of memorable characters and pretty nice graphics. The story is also impressive and stays interesting. I've played it numerous times and still love it. Do I reccomend this game? Of course I do. Will you get your moneys worth when you buy it? Yea, you will...
4180 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the king of all racing games.

QFG3 is a Kenya-like setting. Unlike most reviewers, I liked QFG3 except that it was by far the most linear of the series. Sort of buggy, especially if you play a fighter/paladin, but rather good.

4052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the first and only game ever to be named "Best Game Of All Time" and it's also been named "Game Of The Year" by over 50 publications!
If there's one failing of this game that I like to pick on. It's the scaling encounters. First off I dislike random encounters. They ruin immersion for me. Second, I like leveling up to actually you know. Matter. The idea that out there in this world monsters magically become better as I do (the same monsters) is just ubsurd.
A brilliant and highly original game using elements of Lucio Fulci, George Romero, Dario Argento, horror and science ficiton with clues, gore, cool monsters, puzzles and knowing how to survive which makes this a one-of-a-kind game for every game player. I've became a fan of this since 1996, it's the best game i've ever played with the entire series too.
Easy to hook up
5456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought that the original Legacy of Kain was great. When the sequel came out, I couldn't wait. This game has more atmosphere than anything I've seen. From beginning to end I was immersed in a dark, horrific landscape complete with disturbing visuals and haunting sounds coming from everywhere and nowhere. The sequel improved immensely upon the original with a much more fluid landscape and virtually NO LOADING TIME. Graphics were amazing and the cut scenes could have been put together to make an animated short. My only complaint is that the end made me so anxious for a sequel, but that just tells you how great of a game this is.
No Sparks = One More Hit Left

And don't get suckered into believing that this is a realistic shooter like Rouge Spear or SWAT 3. It isn't. Sure, your enemies can get killed by a well placed bullet to the head, but you, personally, walk around as through you were wearing an invisible tank. And that's just fine, because realism isn't what this game is about. This game is about being some sort of latter-day Rambo. On that level, it delivers in spades.
325 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought these to extend the length of the game cube controller reach. Everyone that uses these has no issues with poor controller reaction times and can sit just about anywhere to play.
With so many 3D rendered games to choose from this may game seem obsolete, but trust me when I say that Castlevania was never meant to go 3D, and this, the greatest 2D Castlevania environment to date, puts all the 3D versions to shame. I have beaten this game at least 10 times, but I find something new every time I play. If you were a fan of the old-school Castlevania Games, or even Bloodlines from Sega Genesis, then you too will love this game, which I recommend over any N64 version. Plus it's cheap! Stop thinking about it and buy this game!
bots 2/5
A criticism is that the voice acting is a bit hammy in parts. Also, the interface is a bit slow at times. However, these are minor criticisms, and it is important to note that I didn't experience any bugs or crashes while playing this game, which is an all-too-rare experience with this type of software product, unfortunately.
Music: 5/5
N64 is a classic that will never be forgoten and if you love Nintendo then GET THIS SYSTEM!!!!
With story comes philosophy. This isn't the matrix where we have a man called morpheous talk about philosophy in some crazy underground rave. This is Solid Snake and others being honest. Solid Snake has some of the best views on life. He's like a rebel without a cause. His lines are thought provoking and are probably things that someone could base their life off of. Live life is probably the best message he tells and can give, and this philosophy is rare in video games today.
Oh, and the animations you will see from enemies falling over after they've been shot is *clearly* a notch above the rest. Even after killing these guys a million times, they seem to find new ways to amaze me with their ability to squirm around and struggle to survive. Simply put, you will *always* see soldiers do different things before they die. Sometimes they shoot wildly all over the place while falling over and dying. Other times they will fall to their knees before falling over for good. Wherever you shoot on their body, they will react very realistically. Shoot them in the foot they hop around. These are probably normal and understandable things that a human being would do if they were dying.
For some people, the problem with the Neo Geo Pocket Color was the lack of variety on the part of its games' genres. For those who weren't fans of fighting or puzzle games the NGPC really didn't have a lot to offer (at least not enough to buy what used to be a $69 console.) Although the NGPC had a fair number of sports titles and classic hits such as Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog: Pocket Adventure, Metal Slug: First Strike, and Pocket Sports Series - Baseball Stars, it just wasn't enough to compete with Nintendo's ever-growing list of popular games. There were a few RPG's made for the NGPC, but most kids fell to the lures of Nintendo's new Pokemon games instead.
3985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What i love most about this game is that you can choose from so many different planes. Everything from 70's era planes from Vietnam, to the latest stealth fighters. This game has it all. The campaigns are very challenging, yet not impossible. It has a unique way to compare your score to other player all over the world, so you always want to try and improve. Thankfully all previous problems with the game were fixed with the latest patch, and Janes has also introduced a new addon that lets you try and be a U.S. Thunderbird and perform crazy stunts at an air show. Like i said, this game has it all. Definetly worth purchasing.

3790 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really love platform games. I guess it is because I love to explore and make my way through those cool-looking worlds. And I have to tell you, Sonic Adventure's worlds look great. This was the very first 128 bit game I had played and boy, was I excited. The game really disappointed and annoyed me however.
4829 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've been playing the Comanche game series since version 1 in the DOS days. I know these games better than anyone who's written any of these reviews. Comanche Gold is nothing more than Comanche 3, only upgraded to a Windows version and with new missions added. The engine is the same, settings are the same, graphics are the same (but with increased resolution), sound is the same, and wingman and enemy AI is the same (though they claimed it was vastly improved). Now many years old, this game is still fantastic and one of the best helo sims you can get for multiple reasons:
over all great game turn out the lights put it in and put yourself in the game and have fun.
1957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic game. Of course I'm giving it 5 stars.

There is only one negative thing I can say about Diablo II. Death can find you very quickly, yet you cannot save the game as you go along and return to the exact same spot later. When you load a saved game, you start at the central location of the region and have to make your way back the hard way to the spot you previously occupied-the status of your quests is unchanged, and you can still "see" areas you have visited, but it's annoying to have to trek through a couple of lands just to get back to where you already were.
The weapons are beyond Awsome
Storyline : I really like the story, besides the few parts of it that I don't understand.
115 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Only downside is there is no mute. Great sound quality.
3234 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Namco has set a new standard of graphics and gameplay for the fighting game genre with Soul Calibur. This game surpasses every 3D fighting game in a number of categories. Fresh characters, responsive and balanced gameplay, incredible graphics, jaw dropping animation, lots of replay value, and even great music can be found in Soul Calibur. Not only is this a perfect arcade conversion, it actually has even better and more polished graphics than the arcade game. If you have a Dreamcast and are a fan of fighting games, your collection is not complete without Soul Calibur. Play it for yourself and find out why. Hopefully Namco will take their time with the sequel, because it's going to take alot of effort to make a fighting game better than this.
WOW. I can't believe how much the price of this game has SKYROCKETED. I'm lucky I bought this game when it cost a whopping $15.00! People if you have this game by all means HANG ON TO IT!
4453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first thing that catches you about Lords of Magic is the music. There were a number of times I'd pause the game at night and leave it on just to have the music playing in the background as I slept. Yes, the soundtrack is THAT good. Once you've digested that, the ease of gameplay becomes LoM's most attractive (and important) feature. LoM is one of the games that lifted battle control from the old Darklands model, and rightly so; there's a reason Darklands still has a core of followers after almost eight years on the market. The maps are gorgeous, the sound even better, the game easy to play and engaging. The only drawback is that the voices get repetitive at times, but the developers thankfully included an option to turn them off. Few games are this good at what they do and deliver what they do as simply and attractively.
7155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once again, you play as the space marine we lovingly call Doom Guy who enters yet another hellish space colony only to find it overrun by more monsters than ever. They've, somehow, survived the last few times to revive themselves again to repopulate the new space colony's halls and corridors. I have to admit, out of all the Doom games I've played over the course of my lifetime, this has to be my all-time favorite. It looks better than the older games and sports new character designs and animation, plays like the older games but now in 3D, and doesn't play like a survival horror game like Doom 3. It's a completely new game or, should I say, original game from the ground up. Sure, there's no looking up and down, no precise aiming, no swimming, crouching or jumping like Quake or Quake II but you can't deny it's one heck of a game that can measure up to any of the others on the Nintendo 64. I will admit, Doom 64 would have benefitted greatly if you could have did those things. Just imagine it. The weapon's sounds and enemy's grunts will instantly bring back memories of what made playing Doom so great. It gives you that creepy feeling of dread when entering an area, making you wonder what lurks around the corner or up behind you. I think the thing I loved most about this game is that, at times, it's brutally hard and that's the way I love my Doom experience.
This tremor pack thing will die off in my opinion. It will go the way of Robbie the Robot for the NES. Remember him? Neither does anybody else...
love it
QFG1 is set in a "Germanic" setting, with all the traditional flare of medievalism. Aside from the fact that there is not much point playing a mage character (just give your thief or fighter magic instead), it is a perfect little game.
this all changed when the sony playstation 2 came out then sega once again felt sonys bite..but they didn't give up the made extra add ons and more exclusives but this still wasn't enough...
5172 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought this game for a friend of mine for Christmas. He really likes it and that's all I wanted.
[EDIT] Here I was nice enough to post everything for you:
There are a few flaws, though. The plot of the game is rather... convoluted. It's tough, very tough, to keep track of the dozens of cast members and who is on what side, who is betraying who, and so on. There is a feature in the game allowing you to replay key scenes in the story, and also read biographies of all characters, and I found myself going back here often. If you can keep up with everything, the plot is compelling, but it is tough. The ending of the game is very sad and haunting, and won't soon be forgotten. Another flaw is the rather poor Japanese-to-English translations that this game contains. It doesn't really detract from the enjoyment of the game, but it is very jarring.
*okay you can look now*
Me and my friends still play SC1 in LAN-fests.
8976 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game to replace one that didn't make the trip out of mom's house so many years ago. I have a lot of fun playing this, and I will enjoy this for years to come (or until the cartridge stops working).
5343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works
My biggest complaint with the game were the occasional levels that had tracks in them (flying on a rocket, or skiing in a swamp) these levels were fun, but sometimes enraging in their nitpickiness. The game is usually very generous with waypoints, though, so it is not too big of a deal. Once you've hit the same pipe sticking out of a wall 5 times though, it starts to wear on you.
When choosing to build a roller coaster there are so many things that you can do with a piece of track. You can make it speed up/slow down, cork screm, loop the loop or even have a photo shoot, plus much much more realistic ideas to choose from.

I know I should end this review with something inspiring, like how in the right hands, even a lump of coal can shine like a diamond, but I've got nothing.
3660 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one kick-[butt] game. I mean it. Literally. About two dozen characters, multiple difficulty levels, a couple of interesting games, this is one super-cool game.
Story: This may be the first game where I add story into the review as the story is its own character in the game. Every character has an emotional background, even the optional characters of Vincent and Yuffie. What happens to Aeris is not groundbreaking even for a Final Fantasy game, but her lacking presence is felt as you journey deeper into the Promised Land hoping to thwart Sephiroth at the reunion for what he has done. Yuffie's teen angst is terribly relatable despite her annoying dialogue, and even Red XIII's mistaken view of his father is met with goosebumps. Even the hard shelled Barret has his past come back to haunt him that must be faced. It's stories that are all wrapped up into one incredible story as you journey to save the planet from being destroyed at the hands of a god in the making. Step aside, Kefka, Sephiroth is no laughing matter.
9521 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Many magazines have been giving this item rave reviews, but I can't understand why. Sure the design is elegant and innovative, but it makes games almost impossible to play unless you are in absolute darkness. The glare from this light is just plain ridiculous, and the only way to decrease it is to bend the light to one side, which decreases the amount of light on the screen. There has GOT to be a better way to light up your gameboy, and let me tell you, this is NOT it.
3269 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil Code:Veronica was the best selling game on the Dreamcast. Luckily for the PS2 owners Capcom has ported a version for their system. But it all started on Sega's system. C:V was the first game in the series to feature highly detailed polygon backgrounds, tapping into the power of the DC. This coupled with some of the deepest most challenging, frightening gameplay in the entire series, and you have a game that is a must-have for both Dreamcast collectors or those who need absolutely every RE game ever made.
9912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Whoa! This game is awesome a lot of 90s dreaded pop culture managed to crawl its way into this game but that's a good thing in a cheesy way. Anyways this game is full of entertaining levels, enemies, fun gameplay, and lots of awesome funky music!
4139 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just when I thought there wasn't a better game out there than 'The Sims', 'Roller Coaster Tycoon' gives that game a run for its money. This game is so fun! You don't just get to build roller coasters, you can build log rides, water slides, and a variety of other pre-made carnival rides: carousels, ferris wheels, etc. Add paths, scenery, and shops and you have the park of your dreams! It's so rewarding to watch the little people clamor to get in line for your rides, and to see them jump up and down with glee if they enjoyed the ride. If they're hungry, build them a popcorn stand. If they're tired, build them some benches. Though the game looks a little complicated and overwhelming at first, once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine. The manual is pretty good and should help you along. My only complaints are the sound effects -- hearing the people squeal with glee is great, but hearing the toilets in the little bathrooms flush is not. Whether you're a kid at heart who has always loved amusement parks, or a tycoon-in-training, you're bound to like this game.
The longevity of the game is pretty much what you expect of a game of this type, a fast play through can take approximately 3 hours but the first time took me about 5 1/2. The game length did surprise me though as at one point i was sure that i had finished the game but i was only half way through.
The only issue with this game is that it is pretty short. There are only 5 levels, with the 5th level being composed of bosses that you've previously fought, as well as King Dedede, the final boss. But just because a game is short doesn't mean it's bad. And this game is excellent.
6195 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome
5926 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of the best games of all time in my opinion...fiance and I met playing together so it holds a special place in my heart. great story that is worth playing over and over. great RPG with fun characters and builds that offer a lot of options for you to pick and play. I have been playing for years and still haven't tired of it.

8735 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Racing games have been a staple of the video game world for years. This game combines just the right mix of silliness with racing to be fun for everyone.
7710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A timeless classic that ages well. The greatest Mario game of all time and one of the finest platformers ever.
5755 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's been awhile since I've played this game, I don't remember most of the character's name (except Squall and Zell) but I still love it and it's still a good comeback after 7. Even before it came out I didn't think it would be as good as 7 and I was right. The graphics of course are a little better but the main thing that I didn't like is that the villan with the blond hair (can't remember his name)was nowhere near what Sephiroth was, not even close. I know I shouldn't compare the two but I can't help it. This is still a good game to have in the collection, good storyline and great characters.
5248 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After three incredibly successful games in the form of Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider 2 and Tomb Raider 3, Lara Croft returned in November 1999 with Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. The previous two games didn't really live up to the title of 'Tomb Raider' as there weren't many tombs involved at all, but The Last Revelation takes advantage of its trademark name by putting Lara back into the tombs - where she belongs! This was the third Tomb Raider game I bought, after Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider 2, and I have to say it is one of the most exciting and enjoyable games I have ever played. The Offical PlayStation Magazine says, "10/10 - An atmospheric, beautiful, wonderfully crafted game". And you know what? They're absolutely right...
1115 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really though, could an old, out dated game still be awesome 4 years later? The answer is yes, because this game is just too good. It gives you a complete story on Hyrule and the Triforce, not to mention the best video game music ever (especially the boss music). Being able to play as young link and adult link in two similar, yet in a way completely different worlds as one would find out sooner or later. The graphics are still, and when this was released, it was the best game graphicwise as well. The bosses are easy, yet in a way challenging, and the dungeons and temples are amazingly designed. However, there are two faults, one minor, one somewhat major.
868 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OMGosh !! . . My son .. grandson .. and great-grandson . . all three are totally enjoying this game soooooo much. I'm not any kind of a game player but it makes me feel so good just watching their enjoyment. Thank you for a product that is not full of all that blood and gore that so many of the games have now days.
5798 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is by far the most complicated game in the series. But for people like me, who enjoy challenges, that's a good thing. It's a very exciting game with spellbinding graphics, an interesting and captivating plot, and a lot of suspense. Even though I haven't finished it yet, I love the game and look forward to the day I do finish it. I recommend it to all people who love action/adventure like I do!
8834 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I had a friend who used to come over and make fun of me for owning Killer Instinct. He'd constantly ask me "when are you going to get rid of this crappy game?" and I'd tell him "oh, eventually". But it took until 2001 when the game didn't sell at a yard sale that I ended up throwing it in the trashbin . THAT is when I got rid of it for good.

*You'll get Ultimate Doom and Doom II(which was a dynamite sequel) with 50+ levels...that's a lot of game time.
2039 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The cart is functional and came as pictured. This is a great game for inciting fist fights and destroying friendships of all ages. Would recommend to anyone looking to end an unsavory relationship.
In the usual game, you can play as Sonic and Tails, Sonic alone, or Tails alone. One thing I really like about Sonic 3 as opposed to Sonic 2 is that Tails can fly, which often gives him a great advantage over playing Sonic. When you do 2 player with Sonic and Tails, Tails can often fly Sonic to high places, but it's not a long time before Tails gets tired.
(5) the storyline is multilayered; the game lasts about three times as long as the original fallout; much more to do;
The Prince Zeldo person was really weird. He/she was a tranny who turned into some guy named Shaieke, who kept stalking Link on his journey. Then he/she would change back into an elf girl in a dress. What a creep! But Zeldo had the Trueforce of Smartness, so I guess that character was okay. Zeldo had this tall white-haired ninja lady named Inca as a bodyguard. Inca might have been a man too though...I'm not sure. She looked kinda like my aunt Helga.
Many are saying, I don't like these slow simulation games. Well, neither did I. But I am sure everyone of you want to own and design your own park when you go to a real theme park like Disneyland. And you say to yourself: Just imagine how nice this place would be if I owned it and designed all the thrilling rides. Well, this game gives everybody the chance. It takes Simulation games and makes them fun. Infact, it adds action. For example, don't expect to just sit there after you make a 15,000 coaster and are waiting for the money to become available. You have to DRAG the handymen to clean the vomit. You have to create benches. You have to advance the themes by adding mere ... dollar statues. You have to make sure that the guests don't leave.
7518 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Essentially a series of extra missions for 'Rainbow Six', this adds some extra weapons and an extremely useful 'crawl' function, the omission of which stuck out like a sore thumb in the original game. The extra weapons (some sniper rifles, a new shotgun, many more assault rifles and some Desert Eagle pistols) are nice to have, but as with the original game you will almost exclusively use your trusty, silent MP5SD5. It has all the strengths of the original - palpable tension, some great mission designs - with some effective new locations. The wrecked, rain-lashed Kosovan city is extremely atmospheric, and there's an obligatory passenger jet-liner hostage crisis, too.
7310 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though the PlayStation is known more for producing 3D games, it's great to know it has plenty of good 2D ones as well. Mega Man 8 is a little easier than the NES games, but still offers a decent challenge.
5146 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Replayed this game after 16 years of being pissed off at myself with this game. Was pretty short in today's standards but got to relive nostalgia and finally beat this game!
What really sets the V8 series apart from other car combat games is the creative special weapons for each car. Unlike most CC games, the specials in this game are more than just different types of missiles. From spark-spewing disco balls to eagles that cause tornadoes to alien invasions, the specials in this game are all entertaining and fun to use. My personal favorite is the half track's "hades gate" weapon, which causes your car to literally go to hell and back, causing lots of damage during the return trip.

3973 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I loved this game from the instant that I installed it.
Needless to say I was hopelessly interested. I had never seen a game like this before and what I had only experienced was the tip of the iceberg. I couldn't have ever known how much further down the rabbit hole this game would take me.
6431 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first got this game, I loved it. I played it over and over. Soon, I wanted to play online- I figured, with some allies, I was good enough. But, Zone.com would somehow not work. I ran into hundreds of problems. It said AoE was not installed, or that the program could not be launched, or a number of other things. I got frustrated and went back to single player. However, eventually, I tired of playing the computer. But, I couldn't get zone.com to work, so I stopped playing.
1304 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still the same game with nostagia now; boy this is historic. Mario goes 3D! and the game is still completely fun! would buy again if ever something happens to the one I have.
Basically this is a kiddies game. Its NOTHING like Theme Park and your very limited to what you can do. There are fun rides and the best part is walking round the park and going on your rides but you don't have the same amount of control as in RCT.
c)Independent Materia: gives your character improved stats or passive abilities
You go to the castle, and after you are introduced to your friendly camera man (who everyone now very fashionably hates on), the Lakitu (in a rare state of not throwing Spinies at you), you are free to go where ever you wish, provided you have enough stars. The castle is the overall hub, and by jumping into different portraits on walls, pools, down tunnels, and even looking into the sunlight in the castle will open you to one of the game's fifteen overall levels or a secret level. Nintendo wisely made certain parts of the castle inaccessible until you have gained enough power stars, but these goals are quite easy to meet.

9270 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Secrets of Evermore is still one of the best games I have ever played since I beat it ten years ago. There are only 2 characters in the game: a boy and his dog. You travel through four different worlds using magic spells created by mixing ingredients. While traveling through worlds, your dog changes from a big pitbull to a greyhound to a poodle to a flying toaster. I strongly reccomend to an adventure game fan because the storyline is great, the bosses are badass, the weapons are cool and are not too hard to upgrade, and the worlds are fun. You can also trade in some locations. This game is absolutely amazing so I give a shout to the makers.
8953 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Is a great game but the title is not on the front their is just a huge red cover saying NOT FOR RE-SALE
Overall, this is a classic you should buy.
FF VII must also be commended for the distinctively unique visual design of every dungeon and section of the map. Walking on the snowy north continent of the overworld, leaving footprints in the snow, feels completely different than walking in the shadow of Midgar, and getting lost in previously-unexplored environments, such as the chaotically-mapped Great Glacier, is more of a pleasure than an annoyance. Experimenting with different characters and weapons is fun in this game, and this is complimented by visual touches which were unique to this game at the time of its release, such as showing a different weapon in the battle character model's hand, depending on what is equipped.
I find it fun to look for body parts in this game. It's hidden AND I MEAN HIDDEN in each normal stage there is 4 of em. It's tricky to find so you need lots of luck to find em.

This is a first-generation SNES game, so you won't find any fancy 3-D graphics here. What you will find is "good old" 2-D visuals, which by 1992 standards were fairly good. The characters look straight out of a fairy-tale, even the main character Link. That's both good and bad, because while this helps create the unique, enchanting mood of the game, it does not posses that haunting, "lonely" feeling you get when you played Zelda 1. It's a more "delightful" game. Also, some areas in the "Dark World" tend to be dull. But the overall impression is definitely positive.
not enough dino action
4628 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 even though this game will never quite be able to grab the top spot of my favorive RTS game it comes very close on many levels.
This game is to GTA, as Ultima Underworld is to Fallout 3, and that is to say they are the for runners that improved future games. I suggest if your looking for good harmless violence without human on human violence I recommend this one if you still use your N64. I would point out, that Human deaths that you allow or preform increase a ticking total and once you get to many you fail the level. So the game even goes so far as to not allow it, I will also add this game has one of the largest number of flying vehicles and ground vehicles and even boats and the likes of almost any game I have ever played in my entire life.
1599 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Case was in pieces, disk scratched. Priced high for quality received.

7902 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works good
The emotion behind the characters of Aeris, Cloud, Sephiroth etc., is something which games developers have only recently started to latch on to - for example, 'Silent Hill 2' and 'Fatal Frame' go deep into the psychology of emotion - but in a character and story-driven game like FF 7, the depth of attachment we form with the characters is simply amazing. It's impossible to treat FF 7 as a piece of retro-gaming, such is the depth of development behind the storyline. It tackles subjects like political upheaval, religion, self-worth - and does it all in such a way as to force us to mentally attach ourselves to the little people running about on the screen.
Twisted Metal 4: This game still made by 989 studios and after twisted metal 3 alot of the people who would of liked this game were no longer interested in twisted metal this one goes back gameplay designed to be fast and fun. I would say compared to 1 and 2 the default characters you can chose from are less interesting and useful however you can create your own cars. I think it was this that makes or breaks the game if you found a car you enjoyed playing you would probably like twisted metal 4 if not then your likely to turn away from it and say its a bad game. This game attempted to incorporate features that would make hands down the best twisted metal and to some it was. This is the last twisted metal game for the playstation 1.
5370 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The 2 new 32 level episodes for DooM 2 should not be bought for the pc. Why,you ask?For one,back when it was made,you had to pay 50 - 60 bucks for only 64,when you could download more than 3 times that much levels off the internet. Like a growing athlete,it is time for Doom to say goodbye to the spotlight.
* Materials don't have to be in the city to use it.. they can be "teleported" to other cities from one city or from a distant location if you can control the land.
6290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works above my expectations. I wish they Didn't demand a certain number of words since i don't have that much to say.
you start out as a kid going on an adventure with your friends and a girl that turns out to be a princess to find your long lost dad who got lost at the tower of Babil or something. Very familiar territory, I know. Next you are talking to a voice in your head that leads you on wild adventures and compels you to leave your group at unusual times.
- The chances of you finding another player like yours are really low, even among the same character class. For example, your sorceress can become a master of one of three elements, and of different aspects of each element. For example, some may put all their skill points into Inferno, while others prefer strengthening their knowledge of Fire Bolt, or Blaze. And while some would put more points into vitality and wear light armor, others may put points into dexterity, or whatever.
2829 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The entire ape escape series is amazing. The graphics are very good for the original PS, and the gameplay is fantastic. I'm pressed for time, so I have to give this game a 9.5/10.
All characters have voices!
I would reccomend that anyone new to the Half-Life family purchase and enjoy the original first, but this is still a worthy game and highly reccomended to any Half-Life devotee. 6.5/10

828 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have fond memories of this game, and still get together to play it with friends.
Are you kidding?! IT'S DOOM!
8504 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love turned-based strategy games. Choosing where to move your characters, and it will make you wonder if you made a right choice or a deadly mistake. My favorite one is Final Fantasy Tactics. Unfortunately, Squaresoft has decided to discontinue it, and it has become very rare. I was lucky and found a copy. For those of you who weren't so lucky to get a copy of Final Fantasy Tactics, don't worry, because Konami's Vandal Hearts is another great game.
3350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What is better than kickin' back with a friend and playing a quick fun game of NFL Blitz? This is the best of the series. ( introducing fire ) and I can't stop playing it with my cousin. Come ON! It's great! My friends and I kick back and play this game all the time.. it's great because of the fact there are so many interceptions and fumbles..
9222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've grown tired of first-person shooters. You run around, kill things, get a bigger gun, and kill things some more. Max Payne doesn't let you get away with that. Yes, you run and around and kill things, but this game runs deeper.
6102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 in great condition and work perfect i love the psx and the dual shock makes all the difference in the world.
5000 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I speak as a fan of the franchise. I played the game when it first came out. I lost my original copy and felt like having it in my possession again.
This game also saw the first use of limited game saving per level. This is great as you cant save your game every 5 seconds. This has been seen in later games since. You WILL replay bits and it is tough but at least you have to use your brain and skill a bit more.
8228 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the funest superhero games i have played. It includes 5 great and popular superheros. Captain America, Iron Man,Spider-Man, The Hulk & None other than Wolverine from the X-Men. The heroes have sworn to protect earth no matter what and thats what they uttend to do in this action packed video game presented from supernintendo.
The graphics in this game are good as well. They are rather cartoony, but the cartoon style conveys personality and emotion far better than polygons do. There are also more subtle touches that add to it, such as birds flying over, seeing your character darken when you walk through a shadow, and seeing your reflection on water surfaces.
This game can, and will, teach you if you're willing to learn, however. A very good single player element lets you build up your characters in a quasi-RPGish manner. The better you fight, the more points you have to spend on making your character more powerful. You newly beefed character can either be left to complete the single player missions on his own (which are very creative and fun with set objectives like "beat 5 characters at once" or "use only super moves") or can be exported to the arcade or vs. modes. For added fun, find a friend with a character he's made, and pit your two characters against each other. Or, just play it in regular old arcade mode, which is perfectly translated and looks just perfect on the Dreamcast. If you thought the PSX version looked nice, wait till you see this. It won't turn any heads who are used to 3D, but as far as 2D goes, it looks mighty good considering the age of the game.
Overall- 10/10 Solo missions asside, Perfect Dark is arguably the best first person shooter ever made. The multiplayer is worth it alone, and for a petty 4 or 5 bucks, you cannot pass this game up.
While there's no Street Fighter-style semi-incoherent yells, the sound effects are better than what you see in most fighters and the music isn't too annoying either.
9289 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Beavis and Butthead was fair. Not even O.k. because the game itself was way too easy and I thought that it was going to be funny and it really wasn't. Sure I laughed a few times, but when it all came down to it, the 2 dumbest teens in the world were about as funny as a rock.
Anyways, if you're a self-respecting SNES owner, you'll get this game. It's a classic. Everybody loves it. Just watch some gameplay, and you will too. Oh, and for the full effect, you'll obviously want to have your SNES hooked up to an old CRT through S-Video. Composite video and modern HDTVs do this game no justice. It's insulting. You can find CRT TVs on Craigslist, generally very cheap, too. That's because the owners who no longer want them don't realize that they need it to really get the full effect of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The result is beautiful, crisp graphics, unparalleled by anything but emulators.
- Yes, Intestinal Distress is probably the only reason one would choose the Genesis version over the Super NES one. It's a good level, though it's only 3 or 4 minutes long if that, and it's really dark. It's basically a shorter and darker version of What the Heck? in both the design and how it requires players to progress upwards, but I absolutely LOVE the theme song. It sounds like spooky church organs building ominously and reminds me of early psychedelic Pink Floyd. Ironic considering the Super NES versions atmospheric quality is more comparable to a band like Pink Floyd pertaining to the richness of the music.
Somewhere far, far away, Superman weeps.

8171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a debut for the Super Nintendo. This is one of the best games ever. TONS of levels, TONS of secrets, TONS of everything. It's no cakewalk, but it's incredibly fun to play. You can play this game for years and years. It's simply spectacular.
1057 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm just sick of reading reviews that don't show mario kart of what it really did but i'll tell you what it really did.
The gameplay is fun, and the places you visit are quite exotic, from the floating city, to the Nazca plain, to the Great Wall of China. This RPG spans the ancient world. Like Zelda, the bosses are huge and challenging, and they require strategy to defeat.

6641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got the multiplayer gold edition of this game, in which you could play online. It also included many scenarios. This is a very addictive game, the scenarios and scoring give this game infinite replay value, and it can be played hours and hours without blinking. If you can find the multiplayer gold edition I recommend that more because it has scenarios, and the scenario editor. This is a great game and anybody who likes Real time or turn based strategy will get a real kick out of this game, as I know I have
3884 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Costing as much as fifty dollars new at the time, I nevertheless was suckered into buying two of these back in 1999 or so when I played my N64 a lot.
It's a really addicting puzzle game, but things are even more fun on the Game Boy because of its portability.
In this game, an evil scientist named Dr. Robotnik is turning animals into malicious robots and is searching for the six Chaos Emeralds, which he thinks will make him rule Mobius. You play Sonic, a blue hedgehog who's really fast and is determined to stop Robotnik from getting the emeralds all while saving his furry and feathered friends.

Music drifts in and out of the game, with some locations dominated by the sound of wind while others have music in the background. The music alternates between very dark to dark tinged. While the game does not have catchy tunes, it suits the game quite well as background music.

6398 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm usually not crazy about real-time strategy games, as they tend to become real "click-fests" where speed is more important than actual strategy. This one, however, has kept me interested for a few weeks now. The technology tree is very important, as research will allow you to create more powerful units and new buildings. Gather resources (wood, stone, gold, food) to build, research, expand and conquer. The civilizations are just different enough to keep things interesting. Graphics and sounds are great and the scenarios are challenging. Online play, either competitive or cooperative, is fun. All in all, this is a great game with enough depth to keep Civilization fans interested.
A great soundtrack and a great Mario voice make for a great overall sound. 5 out of 5 for sound.
There's also an amazing score of wonderful John Williams music from Episode I. There are various tracks for each course, and they add an even better thrill to the game. The graphics are also very good, much better than on the N64. If you have a good computer, and a decent 3D card, you should have no problems. I have a 300Mhz system with a Voodoo2, and it rocked!
Thus, even if you think you don't like adventure games, you should still buy _Grim Fandango_. Likewise, if you don't have time to play adventure games, you should get a walkthrough and cheat your way to the end, because the graphics, story, and soundtrack are just that good. This is one of the seminal achievements in the genre, and to miss out on it would be to accept a huge gap in your understanding of where the games industry might be heading.
4017 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OMG!!!! I have never played a game like this in my intire LIFE!!!!
6082 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's a plain official PS1 DualShock. D-pad is nicer than the DualShock 2, but the sticks are looser and none of the buttons are pressure sensitive. Built solidly. Just a good controller.
Other good news is that although the game/sim is old it has been lovingly modded and kept up to date by a large community of artists and programmers. The game in its current state of modification hardly resembles the game as it was originally shipped.
2773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was fantastic! Myst was the very first Adventure Game I played. That was 3 years ago. Ever since, I have been hooked on Adventure Games! Myst made me feel like I was actually there. The puzzles were fantastic,rewarding,unique,and challenging. Play this game with the lights down and the music loud. You WILL be there! I LOVE Myst as I did Riven and I cant wait to got back to....MYST III!
4481 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Alpha Centauri is perhaps one of the best strategy games ever. I really like the way you can change your environment with the formers.

Fusion initially will seem like the superior game, but bear in mind that the system has less pixels to push around. Instead of quibbling about that, think of this: Fusion is more prone to confusion than Super Metroid. This makes a direct impact on the next category.
5155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just wanted to replay this game so i bought it. The game works great.
Don't be Afraid
Game control is excellent. Combos rely less on stick movement than on button combinations, which makes it much easier for beginners to pick up. Throws are actually a challenge to execute, but are worth the work. The backgrounds are truly amazing and the soundtrack is something else. The tracks are very deep with what seems like full orchestration.

I remember when the memory cards were 8mb and i only ever needed 6 of those for my whole PS2 collection.
2017 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you for this.. This was a hit in my house as i knew it would be,. Great product great shipping and just great service..
4844 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game stinks. Anyone who liked the intense and realistic qualities of the first Army Men game will be disappointed with this effort. The 2 player mode has been destroyed, the beautiful graphics and environments are gone, the fast and smooth control is gone, there are no more allies to assign for attack or defense, the operation of hand grenades, bazookas and mortors is inferior, in the one player mode the tank is not able to smash a wooden fence. There is an annoying arrow at the feet of the character which points you in the direction of the enemy thus taking the fun and suprise out of setting ambushes, the global ban on land mines has reached this game as players are not able to set mines. The sound effects have been emasculated, no piercing death screams. No jeeps, no .50 caliber guns. This game must have been designed for the N64 as it does not come close to living up to the high standards of the 1st game (Army Men 3D)for the Playstation. If you like combat reality games buy the excellent Medal Of Honor, it is everything that this game is not.
I was glad to see it at Amazon. and couldn't wait to get it back.

The Command Point (CP) system works like prestige points. Destroy enemy units, gain CPs. Occupy enemy structures, gain CPs. Achieve mission goals, gain CPs. This was done in order to force the player to use combined arms instead of the cliched "Tank Rush" tactic used in alot of RTS's like Command & Conquer and clones.
Certain characters may open resturants or inns,shops, etc. I personally have no complaints with the game. If you play games for fun and gameplay this is it. For those looking for graphics this isn't for you.
Over all this is an awesome game for any N64 player....Rampage 2 rules!
The units are also able to move much easier. As it was easy in the first version to block and trap your own units with buildings, The Age of Kings makes sure that your units can always find a way through.
ADVENTURE OUT OF TIME!!
Pros
4212 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game wasn't very challenging, but fun nevertheless. The idea is to build a roller coaster park, which may also include thrill rides, gentle rides, and water rides. The people, whom you can see in your park even as you build, roam your park. You can spy on each one's thoughts. You need to keep them from getting thirsty or hungry and provide bathrooms. You need to make sure they don't vomit often and clean it up when they do. You can build any roller coaster yourself, or choose from preset designs. Building roller coasters is a bit of a challenge, since it can be hard to connect the end to the beginning, but they can fit the given space more easily than preset ones. It's important to balance your budget and keep track of prices. This game is easy to win, but takes a long time to play. I recommend this for anyone who wants a laid back simulation and for people who want to build the ultimate roller coaster.
Story: the story is good; passable, but not brilliant. certainly not the games strong point, but it does have it's moments, and further expands upon the love story element touched on in VII. the story progression is rather refreshing, as it is more character driven than event driven when compared to other games in the series. the personalities of the main characters are fleshed out rather well, and you learn what motivates them to do what they do. there are no secret characters to obtain (other than by use of a cheat device), but this keeps the narative running at a steady clip. though not as endearing a story as some, it still provides a decent adventure.

Overall Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast is an instant classic packed with full 3d enviroment and Full 3d character model and fast paced action with some really great music. Some things like camera angles ruin this game and some really bad english dubbing makes it even worse! But overall this game doesn't dissapoint Sonic fans and that is why I'm giving it a
7385 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A fine sequel to "Super Mario Land," this game, upon its release, boasted incredible graphics and superior sound. Even today, this game is terrific. The controls are innovative and fun, and there's one entire level in homage to the Balloon Trip mode of the old game "Balloon Fight." And let's not forget that this game introduced Nintendo's latest villain-franchise, Wario. The replay value is incredible, and the graphics look great colorized. I still play this game, and even my boyfriend borrowed it for a while for his SP. Again, this game isn't quite Metroid II or Link's Awakening, but it's right on up there.
The game looks spectacular as far as SNES games go. You can almost make out Aladdin's face while playing through the game. The environments are well crafted out and detailed although slightly repetitive at times. Almost as if they created the levels and just simply ran out of things to place in the background. The enemies match very closely to how they look in the movie. The palace guards and Iago look almost dead on perfect. Also the fight with Jafar at the end is pretty good too although it's a little buggy and choppy at times.
Recommend to others: 5.
Although, this game does suffer a little bit of damage. The first mistake is the lack of challange up to the sixth level:
The graphics are shamefully poorly-thought out. The pre-rendered backdrops for some of the major levels (Balamb Garden, Edea's House) are bland, and have none of the charm of the cityscapes of FF 7 or the magical countryside vistas of FF 9. The character models are far too complex, and look pixellated and rough at almost all angles. Polygon pop-up didn't die out with the Sega Saturn; it's alive and well and working for Squaresoft. The pre-renders, however, are amazing, approaching the quality of early PS 2 titles in their scale and realism.
As is the case with any RPG, the best place to start with FFVIII is its storyline. While chapter seven was focused on a maniacal egomaniac and his plans to destroy the world through the use of magic and spirituality alone, chapter eight concerns itself more with the political and technological necessities of performing such a feat. Not quite as exciting material at a glance, but twice as realistic. Sorceress Edea, the main protagonist of the story, sets about on her aspirations by overthrowing the government of the largest military power in the world, brainwashing its citizens through the use of the media, invading and obliterating everyone in her path, and manipulating her underlings to the point where she has their complete support without even expanding upon her motivations. Where the glam and glitter of Cloud and Sephiroth's tale has become legendary, the struggles of Squall and Rinoa against their oppressors feel much more weighty and, god help me, believable.
While the game itself is amazing the graphics were pretty good at the time. Looking pretty realistic art wise, the game had some good lighting effects and a lot of detail everywhere. I also have many fond memories of this game as a kid. I actually accidentally rented Silent Hill because I forgot the name of this game. I got all the way to the Pharcom Warehouse levels and had to turn the game in. I rented this game many times over and played it to death as a kid. I purchased it a few times here and there and every time I play this it brings back fond memories. Syphon Filter is one of the greatest games ever made and every gamer should play this masterpiece.
The controls are uniformly tight, utilizing the analog controls to the full. And you can bank and pitch completely upside down, something that many similar arcade-style games of the time don't allow. The game also features a wonderful cockpit view that brings you into the experience even more. There's also voice chatter as you go, some nice arcade style music, and full voice command briefings (nice). Of course you also hear "Bingo!" every time you hit a target and get a comment every time you miss too, but that's just keeping with the arcade feel. The enemy A.I. might not be as good as you can get now, but it's definitely good for when this game came out, and you can still get shot down if you play on hard and don't watch yourself.
8089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 haven't play long time, like play game as enjoy that all as better than boring? thanks and give up thumb
5029 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game for my birthday about 3years ago. I finally beat the game today. I could have beaten it when I first got it but Ikept puting it off. I got to say I was very impressed with it,It is probably one of the only games to ever make me jump. The puzzles were fun and somewhat chalenging. I also like the differnt endings to it but i won't tell about it if you have not beaten it. Over all a very good game and pretty good graphics for a ps1,so if you like surrvival horrer check this one out.
It's not perfect, though, although familiarity has no bred contempt. The narrative flow breaks down in the final, alien-bound levels, which are a disappointment after the recognisably real-world environments in the rest of the game. On the alien world there are a couple of places where you can be inextricably stuck, too, which seems unfair. Some of the creature designs don't seem to fit, either - whilst the mutated scientists and head-crabs are fantastically hateable, the hulking, wasp-firing alien 'sergeants' seem to belong to another game entirely. Play it in the dark, for the first time, and you'll be scared to death, too.

You get the thrill of beating all the bosses, playing the ocarina, and riding Epona around Hyrule. Never going to regret getting this game. One of my favorites.
I'll list the games pros and cons:
3993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the very few RPG's I've played more than three times. (The other notable mention is Final Fantasy VI.) If you take Pokemon, strip out 90% of the childish nonsense, give it beautiful music, dreamlike landscapes, a plot, character development, and interresting monsters that can take on a multitude of forms, you get Jade Coccoon.
As you can see for yourself, the various structural symmetries between Zelda 64 and SNES Zelda is quit a few. If Miyamoto wanted to do a remake of LTTP for N64 that's what he should have done, I suppose. This, as far as story goes, is pretty much an update with little changed. Its like they took the game's basic plot, changed the circumstances and added where appropriate, but allowing the basic structure to stand. And, although both are great games, sadly, SNES is better, consistently with each dungeon getting a little harder and more complex. But I love Ocarina of Time all the same. This just helps support my believe that Nintendo is first and foremost a gaming company, not a writing company.
-It should be known that this game is far better than the sequel (apporpriately titled: Silent Hill 2).
3016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game 11 years ago and couldn't stand it. Only played it for about 20 minutes. I thought I was reading a book not playing a video game so I gave it away. 11 years later I played crisis core final fantasy 7 for the psp and thought "wow this is a good story" so I decided to play the original Final Fantasy 7, to my surprise it was selling for well over 100 dollars, then I thought this must be a really good game. Come to find out this is a true masterpiece, after playing it I am hooked on Final Fantasy, they have such a wonderfully story, the graphics are always state of the art. And they are timeless treasures you can come back to even 11 years and say wow.
-------------------------------------------
9457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The next game in the Turok series, Turok: Rage Wars is Acclaim's answer to Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament. While it might not have the speed of moving around quite as fast as Unreal Tournament or the posh visuals of Quake 3 Arena(even with the expansion pak); Turok: Rage Wars fits the multiplayer fragfest for the console owners quite nicely. It has new weapons and powerups, over 36 maps to play on, smarter enemy A.I., and is one pretty lengthy game to play. I've enjoyed gathering friends together and playing a 4 player deathmatch or Capture the Flag game among others. It's quite addicting and you can easily waste away hours on the game without even realizing it. If you like to play single player, Rage Wars has that, too, but expect it to be something of a training session for when you do get into the multiplayer component. Besides, you have to play Single player to unlock player skins and secret characters.
The story is pretty linear, the characters are well developed, and part III offers much of the same fun that was the original BOF for the SNES (which was produced by Squaresoft, not Capcom). The only drawback is the clunky controls, which can be frustrating when you are trying to move down stairs or bend around tight corners. And while the graphics are not on par with Final Fantasy IX or Chrono Cross, this is still a great looking game.
5521 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Do you like giant monsters? Do you like destruction? Do you like vent your anger amongst the world? This game is for you then. Choose a monsters, destroy a major continent and save your fellow monsters. Monsters have special moves called Rampage in which they do something that is specialized for them. 7 monsters and universal tour. Are u in?
The single-player game is quite good, and I am now working my way up through that to improve my playing with the rest of the guys. The only one I'd complain about is Assault which really becomes too hard too fast for me to really be successful. But I imagine most players don't have a problem with it, and thankfully the bots are so good in this game, they often can handle the fight even without me.
Welcome to Monkey World!
The upside to the game is that it's still fun to play, even 15 years later. As I said earlier, anyone can pick up the controllers and jump in, while the subtle nuances of the game don't take much effort to figure out as you go along. The soundtrack is limited but I don't ever think anyone confused WCW's entrance music with the music that Jim Johnston (of WWE fame) has released over the years (with the only exception being Goldberg's theme.) The graphics were a work in progress considering where the franchise was at by the time WWF No Mercy was released, but it was still leaps and bounds better than what most expected from the gameplay of other systems at the time (as a reminder, this game was released for a console that is three generations removed from what's available today.) If there was one drawback from the game, it's the limited gaming options that exist. Once you beat the championship mode, that was essentially it as far as beating the game was concerned. There were no steel cage match options, tag teams were limited to 2-on-2 action, and the create-a-wrestler option wouldn't be introduced until THQ/AKI began releasing titles for WWF. Other gripes I have are that you can't seemingly control whether or not someone interferes on your behalf and the fact that the CPU can "Hulk up" their spirit meter rather effortlessly while the player has to do all the little things right to make that possible.
Since there is no "set" path one has to take in the game (you can inter-weave peaceful missions with military ones), and the fact a scenario editor is available from Impressions by downloading (and will be included in the new Cleopatra expansion), this game has great re-playability. There are also several websites available where one can download fan-made scenarios and get help for just about any predicament one would find themselves in.
I say this is where Resident Evil started to go down hill. That doesn't mean this is a bad game, but this doesn't feel as fresh as the others before it, who still play great in 2009. I'd recommend this as it is better than Resident Evil Zero, 4 and much better than 5.
5898 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Word of warning before starting: THIS AINT AN EASY SIMULATOR. Heck, flying an airplane was never easy in the first place. So don't buy this game unless you know a think or two about G's, stalls... and how to avoid them!
1= Very good
The reason the game is challenging is because enemies are placed in spots that sneak up on you pretty quickly. In other words, enemies will probably be walking where you least expect. Also, the game is stingy with 1-up balloons for some reason. There's a distinct lack of bananas compared to DKC, which means getting 100 of them for extra lives definitely doesn't happen as frequently compared to DKC.
The puzzles, many of which are multi-step, involve crafting Rube Goldberg solutions to various problems. Some of the solutions are thoroughly counterintuitive (I won't give anything away, but let's just say that objects such as balloons or a crystal paperweight are employed in bizarre ways), and are best solved through aggressive trial and error. Clues may pop up from time to time to expedite this sometimes tedious process. That aside, the Lucasarts team, especially writer Tim Schafer, deserve high praise for this highly original and literate adventure.

If you need a reason to keep your N64, this is it!
As the story gets more complicated the less dedicated rpg fan might give up and put the game away, but that is just when it gets good. Everything clears itself up, and there are even hidden secrets and twists that not too many catch at the end of the game.
3536 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Maybe I just got a bad unit, but my batteries ran out after only a few hours of use. The memory unit runs on two type CR2032 batteries. Now, the problem with this is that these batteries are so expensive that replacing them costs about 3/8 the price of the VMU. Kinda expensive if you ask me. It is still a great idea however, and I recommend picking at least one up. I have a few games for Dreamcast and they would have been somewhat less enjoyable without the unit. I just hope your batteries last longer than mine did.

3953 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll keep this short and to the point..after all rare chance anyone is going to be looking for this game at this point in time.
And something no one can say wouldnt be better... you can edit the PC version, not only can you put whatever car you want into the game by downloading a simple quick device them importing a car you can download or make yourself, but you can also change everything in the game with simmilar tools. You can not just add cars, you can add missions, put more cars into things, edit the exsisting map, or hell, make your own city from scratch.
5985 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While this doesn't introduce anything groundbreaking over the first Diablo, it does continue in the same entertaining path. The one drawback is that you have no in game save feature. Truly a bummer! The storyline is entertaining. The cinematic cut scenes are what we've come to expect from Blizzard. Overall, the game is a sequel to the original in storyline. It would have been better if Blizzard had been able to incorporate some new technology into the game engine or into the graphics. But, those drawbacks aside, if you enjoyed Diablo, you'll enjoy this one. If you have never seen, or played the first one, do not feel bad. You will not be completely lost in the storyline and the game play doesn't rely on any previous experience.
2505 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I've been a Duke Nukem fan for a long time. I loved Time to Kill and enjoyed Land of the Babes. Total Meltdown is the most frustrating FPS I have ever played. The speed is so fast it is hard to move. Looking up and down is a chore. You use L1 and L2 to look up and down. Jumping puzzles are annoying and swimming is almost impossible. Crouching is hard and the graphics are terrible. Sound is bad as well. The only funny part about this Duke Nukem game is the rulebook(it is funny). The only semi-detailed part of this game is Dukes weapons and hand animations. Even the cutscenes are bad. Please try to avoid this game and save some cash.
9798 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I originally owned this game until it got stolen. I now repurchased it again, and
This game is the reason why you bought an N64, 4 controllers and bothered with investing in the Expansion Pack to unlock the entire game itself. This is Perfect Dark...the spiritual successor to Goldeneye. Rare was the company behind such favorites as Donkey Kong 64, the Banjo Kazooie games, Jet Force Gemini and Diddy Kong Racing. Perfect Dark set out to be better than Goldeneye and provide everything that you needed in a first person shooter. They succeeded and went beyond that.
I would not recommend this game for everyone, tho. I would advise against getting this game for children. It is certainly the most obnoxious game I have ever played. It has more action and gore than most horror & action films. The 3D accelerated graphics make it seem all too real, from the mangled body parts to the blood (human and alien) that is smeared all over the walls and floors. I would also admonish people who suffer from claustrophobia or vertigo to think twice about buying this game. There are many times that you have to go thru tiny crawl spaces (such as ventilator shafts) and have to work from in high places (many times falling a time or two until you learn how to get thru them). Also in the game are many places where you must traverse areas laden with toxic sludge as well as machines that will smash you to bits if your timing isn't right. Definitely not for the feint of heart.

4301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 all right home world is about a quest to find your home planet id tell you more but i would end up giving it all away, but what i can tell you is that you can research build and capture ships which makes it really awsome.i got this a long time ago but i think that it is so awsome that i still play it trust me youll love this game.
This is of course not like being at war. Not even close. The people who really flew in these ships actually died, as you know. More than 50,000 men from the 8th
I have to consider that my inability to control Spyro may have been due to the camera angles. Even though the camera in this game is *drastically* better than many other games, you have to admit it isn't flawless either. If you hit Pause and go to the options, you will see an option for a second camera view called "active". This view is better because the camera immediately follows behind Spyro at ALL times. The other (default) camera view is more of a hassle trying to figure out where you're moving, and you can't get a good view of what lies ahead. You may want to change it to "active" if the other camera view is difficult for you. Thank goodness for this option!
Death Egg- 6/10: Not so much a level as it was an area for the final boss. The Death Egg in Sonic 3 and Knuckles was really amazing full zone, but the Sonic 2 Death Egg only had 2 bosses. Metal Sonic looked strange and no rings made it hard. The Final Boss was another LOL moment, but not because it was too easy. Eggman built a HUGE overweight Eggman robot that looked just like him. One of the reasons Eggman is my favorite video game villan is because of his ego. After defeating Eggman's Eggman Robo, the ending plays. A beautiful 3D ending that was really worth the playthrough. The End. Sonic 2 is awesome. No Genesis will ever be complete without Sonic 2.

1530 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Making South Park into a first person shooter isn't a horrible idea, it's just horribly executed.

This game redefined the role playing wheel, when it was released on PS1. It was a smash hit, and has since spawned many sequels to the original game.
Starcraft gives the player command of 3 races: The Terrans, who are allied in a sort of Confederacy and boils down to red necks in space; the Zerg, a race of xenomorphs created by an ancient race known as the Xel-Naga. The Zerg are the ultimate predator and hyper-evolutionary beings; finally we have the Protoss, a race of psionic and technological masters, but were also created by the Xel-Naga. Each race has 10 missions that the player must complete, enabling them to `win' as each race while a larger story unfolds.

8921 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Super Metroid is absolutely one of the best games ever made for Super Nintendo. The graphics are astounding on the system for a side to side motion game, and has many different moves and weapons, with very little violence,which makes it suitable for younger kids.
Which is in other words a group of 14 year old kids who sit around playing elitist-styled computer RPGs all day. Sure, this game may not be that old-school, but please...nobody cares about that. It's still fun.
+Awesome memory card
HECK! If my Win-7 ran Lords of Magic, I would still play it, because there's just something about the music, the art-work, and the game-play that really pulls you in...
What's so great about Silent Hill is that the danger has a sense of reality to it, unlike in Resident Evil where you really just fight some monsters who jump through windows at you and watch some highly entertaining scenes. The fog adds a new element of fear, in which something might be out there; and with the radio, you KNOW when there is an unseen terror lurking in the shadows or precipitation. Real life is more like that: where you can't see your enemies, not where they are just big enough to withstand several direct shotgun shots.
The one BIG warning I have is that the learning curve is rather steep. This is a game that rewards patience and strategy. Go play Duke Nukem if you wanna blow up stuff. But if you want to play what many say is the greatest strategy epic of them all, it's right here. And amazon doesn't sell it here (far as I've seen), but Tactics has been released under the very economic "Greatest Hits" series, so go to the store and pick up a very inexpensive, very engrossing game. Two thumbs way up.
2266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a needed tool for the Gameshark Pro and certain games like Zelda. If you do not need it, pick it up for a little extra detail in all of your games. It makes everything look great and it stops the slowdown that games like No Mercy have.
Combat Flight Simulator - Europe lets you fly many of the famous fighters in service in those three air forces. If you fly as a British pilot, you can expect to be at the controls of a Hawker Hurricane Mk. (Mark) I, a Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I, or a later variant, the Mk. IX. As a German pilot, you'll fly either the Messerchmitt Bf 109E or the Focke-Wulf Fw. 190A fighters. Finally, as a Yank in the USAAF, you'll man either the sturdy P-47D Thunderbolt or the sleek P-51 Mustang. All of these planes have their strengths and weaknesses, so try to read the manual (or the Help files) and do a bit of research before you hook up the joystick and take flight. Particularly challenging are the ammunition load limits to each plane; each plane has its own ammo load capacity, and players more familiar with fighter jet simulations (such as Microprose's famous F-15 Strike Eagle series) may find themselves shooting away all their ammo at one plane (if they choose realistic presets) and then being unable to shoot at anyone else because they have no bullets. I would advise rookie pilots to use Unlimited Ammo settings until they have had enough practice to shoot down enemy bombers and fighters without wasting precious rounds.
So, the bottom line is, if you still have a SNES and don't have this game, WAKE UP and go and BUY IT! If you don't have a SNES, there would be little point in buying one, just because of this game. It's not that the game is anything less than great, it's because the SNES is "dead" now, and you've missed out all these years and you should learn to let go of a good thing!
8449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great and I love the game. I used to spend a lot of hours as a kid playing this game and I finally got it again. The cosmetic wear on the label is almost non-existent. So excited!!!
9481 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not much to say here, it is a classic! A must have!
7288 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I was extremely disappointed with this title. You will like it if you like Goldeneye, but definitely go with Goldeneye over this game. The multiplayer is 50 times better than Goldeneye, but the cheats and single player levels leave EVERYTHING to be desired. For one thing, it requires more sneaking around because one missed shot hits the wall letting the guards know of your presence who will then hit you with perfect accuracy and kill you in a matter of seconds because of your quickly draining life meter. You also run out of bullets faster and reload much slower. The difficulty is just about near impossible. If you can't beat Goldeneye with EVERYTHING as in cheats, bonus levels, record times, etc, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. You can't beat this game on Perfect Agent unless you're a game tester, and I'm sure even they had problems. The game is so hard it just totally degrades from the fun factor. The plot is also absurd. Aliens and such. Ha Ha. Amusing. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I strongly reccomend going for Goldeneye rather than Perfect Dark.
The graphics are awesome for the SNES. The characters look really cool, and the enviornments are beautiful. Killer Instinct has some great music too. If you get the CD with the game, Killer Cuts, you'll be able to hear better/fleshed out version of the songs. It doesn't get any better!
5851 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pharoah is a game in witch you can build cities and create a mighty empire. This game is not like a Age of Empire and in a way it takes more skill to play. You will become addicted to this game and I would Highly recommend it to everybody.
The only problem is, to me anyway, is that the whole "realism" with controlling your space ship is a little too complicated, I mean, if you set the game down for a year and had to pick it back up, you would have to do the tutorial or memorize ALL the controls from the manual.
Cops go to dangerous lenghts to get you for a minor violation.
One thing that REALLY makes this a DOOM to remember is the TOTALLY BENT, EPIC DRONECORE DARK AMBIENT SOUNDTRACK. Playing DOOM on my modern computer, despite the incredible graphics, just isn't quite the same without that HAUNTING soundtrack. Seriously, the soundtrack to this particular version of DOOM is so totally harrowing and visceral as to be nearly a moving life experience. You will never quite forget it after hearing it. The soundtrack is certainly one of the best of all time (for a video game). It is profoundly moody, unrelentingly heavy and completely out there. It sounds like something Steve Roach might create after surviving a journey through Hell and then having Trent Reznor as the music producer.
5415 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Williams made games for hard-core arcade gamers and this collection proves it. Setting aside "Bubbles", a misguided effort to be cute, the collection is 2-D, testosterone-driven mayhem, with titles that gamers of that era still revere: Defender, Stargate, Robotron, Sinistar, and Joust. The emulation is perfect -- you can even view the operator statistics and set the arcade's welcome message. Only regret: this disc pre-dates the Sony dual-shock analog controller, whose two joysticks would have been *perfect* for Robotron.
I cant wait till it arrives in the mail.
And last, but far from least, there is a special mode you can unlock for an even bigger challenge. Yeah, this game will keep you busy no matter how you play. It's definately a must-have, order it while you can.
Eventually it becomes clear that the real enemy is a laboratory experiment gone horribly wrong. Shinra's effort to produce supermen has created Sephiroth, who has become one of the legendary villains of the gaming world. Physically beautiful, his mind has been ruined by his knowledge of what he is, and his goal has become the destruction of the world.
3840 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My favorite thing about SSII is that it tells a coherent story that makes sense. Every action you take in SSII is motivated by a desire to accomplish a clearly-stated objective. Goals are not assigned arbitrarily, either, and are extremely well-explained by the superb voice acting. When you accomplish a mission, you are rewarded with access to more areas of the ship and new missions to accomplish.
This game is not worth any money at all.
The bad point is the backtracking, but it is really short and is always for a reason. You backtrack usually with a goal in mind. And you will usually backtrack like a mofo on halloween. Meaning really fast to get your candy. And every time you do it(like 3 times in the game) you will get to listen to juicy codec calls that unravel more story bits and liven it up.
3979 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I guess you could say that this game was pretty much a dissappointment. I probably would have liked it more if I hadn't already bought Rollercoaster Tycoon (even though I'm not really a fan of that game, it's a LOT better than Sim Theme Park). I felt ripped off when I found out that there were only four theme parks to choose from, which made this a very short lasting game. Another major problem is - you can even build your own rides! Talk about cheap.
And, as quaint as Panzer General may seem, it is a very deep game. Even Panzer General 2 avoided have the polethera of units and tactics as are in 1. You will be able to use navies, strategic bombers and just about anything else one might expect to see on the WWII battlefield. Play is challenging and rarely stale. Getting the coveted Decisive Victory is never too easy but it remains attainable and rewarding. The prestige system is also useful, giving players points for taking cities, eradicating units and so on. But...Most importantly, your army carries over from level to level, meanng that the game can be played several times with different units and the outcome will be different(there are also branches based on the speed of victory). Trust me, this game is timeless and endless.
Star Wars: Naboo
9090 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I thought it was fun, but i know it can't compare to the original pacman. However, if you miss the original pacman there's a level where you can play it. There's an arcade and you can play as much as you'd like. I used to spend hours doing that LOL. Any who, some missions are a bit difficult, but not impossible. I was able to pass this game several times as a kid. It's just not for everyone.
So good so far
And here we come to the worst sin of the game, the save system. Saving is automatically handled when you transition between levels are areas. The only other way to save is to be in your haven or safe area. One can get there by using the Walk the Abyss discipline (aka spell/skill). But it takes a while before you have one of these in a given area. So we are left hacking our way back through areas and levels already completed. I found myself abusing the autosave feature by running back and forth between levels to save. But what if more than one person is playing the game as is the case on my computer? It's pretty much tough luck. This is a computer game, not a console. The game should have been balanced so that players could save anywhere at anytime.
3058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 WELLLLLL...THIS IS YOUR TICKET! Final Fantasy VII is the ultimate in what is the most successful (and also greatest) series of role-playing games of all time! There are all sorts of pros to the game, but only a few cons...and the cons barely matter!
There are many easter eggs or "little things" to find out in this game. (Look up a good walkthrough if you have trouble finding them.) These give the game a good bit of replay value.
There's loads of disasters in the game - like fires, building collapses, riots and disease.
The music is what seperates this from most games. The music is the pinacle of greatness here. As I am writing this I am listening to Aeris Theme which is one of the greatest tracks in gaming history. This alone seperates this from most gaems past and present.
Gameplay:Similar to the Tomb Raider series but better. Sure we now have Dual Analog games but once you get used to it it is fun. Manual aiming is good but the auto aim is even better. Swiiming is a cinch. Plus you get to kill strippers!
2076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Time hero preventing alien harvests. Different time lines = different vehicles.
8454 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is solely responsible for getting me into RPGs. Before this i never understood the idea of leveling up a character to reach maximum strength. All I knew was jump on that turtle and eat the mushrooms!:-P Really though, if you're looking to get into RPGs, this is a great place to start. Familiar characters, great story & gameplay, music is fantastic. Really, just can't say enough about this classic. If it weren't for this, i would have never played all the other amazing RPGs on the SNES.
A vast amount of items, all found in unique ways. Awesome. Lots of giant evil bosses. Awesome. Lots of underground hidden stuff. Awesome. Lots of weird folk to talk to. Awesome. Time travel in a HUGE mythical world. Awesome. Lots of mini-games to play for cool prizes. Awesome. Just so many awesome things packed into this ONE game. I usually only recommend rentals, but a rental wouldn't do this game justice. You have to buy it, you have to beat it, and you have to find every secret. Live this game, and every now and then, live it again.
- Fast paced
7731 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first video game I have ever played and it's stuck with me for years for a reason. A Link to the Past is a freaking classic and is without a doubt worthy of a top 10 spot on all lists about the greatest video games of all time.
- Goldberg's not only in the game, but also on the damn cover.
If youve played the first Resident Evil, or any installment since, you understand the gameplay of this series. It really hasn't changed all that much in the last six years. You either love it or you cant stand it. The action is presented from a series of static camera shots, overlooking all the action and switching angles as you leave the plane of vision. This setup offers positives and negatives; for one, the backgrounds are much more detailed than they could have possibly been rendered in three dimensions. Unfortunately, the rapid changing of screens and immovable camera angles still make it easy for your enemies to get the drop on you. The zombies, lickers and evil plants can see you from down the hallway, but you cant see them until they're right on top of you.
2621 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This product is in perfect quality. The screen is in perfect condition, though not as bright as it seems in the product picture. The atomic purple coloring is also not as vibrant, but that is not the companies fault. That is simply how Nintendo made them. I'm a pleasantly pleased with this product and will be purchasing from this selller again.
- The bland music soundtrack. The original game's music was quiet and tense. It added an atmosphere of excitement to the game. The new game's music ocassionally excites, but most of the time doesn't.
1903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Spyro is an incredibly fun game. Although not nearly as refined as Year of the Dragon, or Ripto's Rage, the classic Spyro is still hours of fantastic entertainment.
A must own for zombie fan gamers... great action, chills, and good puzzles...
The story centers on a former SOLDIER named Cloud Strife, who joins the AVALANCHE group in trying to take down Shinra, Inc., a megolomaniacal corporation that's draining the planet's life force. He's a bit less colorful than some of the main characters of past Final Fantasies (even further games), but through the course of the game, he has a very interesting backstory. He is joined by Barrett, the leader of AVALANCHE and the closest video game character akin to Mr. T; Tifa Lockhart, a sexy martial artist and friend of Cloud's; Aeris, a flower merchant who turns out to be a "Cetra," the previous owners of the planet; Red XIII, a cat creature that was experimented on by Shinra; Cid Highwind, a pilot with Dragoon Knight characteristics (and ironically, shares the same last name as Kain from Final Fantasy 4! What delight!); Vincent, an immortal that previously worked with Shinra before his "death"...and Yuffie, a young thief who plays tricks on the party. Oh, and then there's Cait Sith, but let's move on...
4641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What makes this RPG so much better than it's competition? Story. A completely immersive, and interesting world with a plot that drives you on. The 'Chosen One' (your PC) evolves more than any character of any RPG I have ever played, by the end, you will look back at how your character started, and how far he's come and you will be amazed. Full of little cookies and distractions as well. You will not miss the fact that it has no multiplayer, nor will you be disappointed with it's simple interface. What other game lets you become a kung-fu master, a Mafia made-guy and a drug addict all while toasting your enemies with your trusty flame thrower?
I think the one thing that makes the experience so overwhelming is the music. In the final level of the game you will come across some atmospheric parts that sound exactly like an evil wind blowing right by you (and I mean YOU, not Harry Mason). That's an incredible sound right there. I'm not someone who usually exaggerates but the creators of this game may have surprised themselves with this constant flow of creepiness!
Sound- 7/10
There is one downside. With certain soundcards the game may crash under certain conditions, you can get a patch to repair this.
Children shouldn't play this game. If you think it's ok for children to see the two main characters in this game shoot and fry their way through the police station then you might not be a reasonable person. Yes that's right: you can walk through a police station in this game. If in real life you have a problem with the way cops sit in a field and watch over you to make sure you have your seat belt on (and not one of those cases where you pretend to put the seat belt on until the cop is out of view and then take it off again) you now have a place to take out your frustrations- Resident Evil 2.
Overall, this is on my top ten all-time.

6343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best Console of its time. Great games. Great times. I will never get rid of this console again.
*Super Smash Bros.
This game has 5 "balloons". Red = attack, Blue = boost, Green = defense (think banana peel), Yellow/Purple = shield, Rainbow = magnet (more or less useless).
5189 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember as an 8-year-old having the MGS demo that came with the PlayStation my parents got me. I remember spending hours running around the heliport and gunning down enemies. Later on, I rented this game once, but only got so far before frustration overtook me (I got to the level with Vulcan Raven in a tank). Now, ten years later, I manage to get my hands on a used copy here at Amazon (I spent about $12.00+4.00 S&H). All I can say is that it's more than worth every penny I spent.
5451 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is really hard. You could beat the game with Kintaro and Goro easily. When you battle Shao Kahn with Sindel it's really hard. I still like it though.
Story: You play as Squall, a student at the Balamb Garden which specializes in turning students into SEED's, elite mercenaries that get dispatched to different parts of the world to resolve conflicts. One mission has him getting involved with the Timber Owls, a resistance group headed by Rinoa. Squall and Rinoa, along with 4 others, will eventually get caught up in a story involving space travel, a powerful sorceress and a trip through time.
1023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game can keep you busy all day with excitement and fun! It's even better when you play with other people. It's great whether your playing with your friends or family. Challenge them with different characters and roads. This game is for anyone, any age, they will enjoy it, I guarantee you will too!

2482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 (my son is going to do this reviwe)(I am 12 years old)my name is Andrew. all I can say is wow. this is the best 1, 2, 3, or 4 player game of all you can choose up to 8 people (and 4 hiden people) and they are jigglypuff, c.falcon ,luigi, and ness. and the people from the start are. Kirby (my favorite) Yoshi (my other favorite) zelda, samus, mario, DK, pikachu, and fox. it is the best game I own. each person has different powers. but all of them have B attack, up B attack, down B attack, A attack, smash attacks, a block, a throw attack oh and punches and kicks and a bunch of other combos. and all of them are different. well luigi's and mario's are sort of a like. and lots of battle arenas. and you can copy some ones B attack if you are kirby. my favorite person to play with is kirby he may be a little cute pink cuddly puff ball (...) oh and I like yoshi at first I hated yoshi but then I used him and he was prety darn good. my little brother likes samus. I like every body but my favorites are yoshi and Kirby. and if you think this looks like a little kid game you are wrong. it is packed with punches and kicks. oh and I want a game cube because they have super smash brothers melee but it is to much $$$. oh and super smash bros melee has a bunch of new people to choose and different battle arenas and a lot better graphics. and lots of new stuff. so you had better buy this game. it is the best game vever!. it is one big smash! trust me you are going to like it. so get out there and buy this super awsom (...) game. it rocks!!!
3010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the longest RPG game I've ever played. It's around 60 hrs for first time players, but can get up to 80-100 hrs. if you feel like accomplishing everything. Good story, graphics were pretty good for the PSX for its time, battle system is good (materia was very innovative). If you can get your hands on the UNOFFICIAL strategy guide go for it.
Its too bad that these days, I am finding myself rushing through a game just to finish it because other than the great graphics the gameplay is subpar and it gets boring after a while. Rushing through a game causes one not to really appreciate the game and it tells me that the gameplay is lacking and the developers did not do enough to keep the player involved.
3716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You start out as one of the two heros of the game, on Renas home planet Expel. Something strange has crashed on Expel and is causing chaos. You now need to go learn more about it and discover what it is. But that is only the beginning. Your travels takes you to several villages and towns, meeting several party members you may choose to go along. Earn skill points to boost your skills such as Cooking, Writing, Alchamy and Reverse side (forgery). As you continue through out the game you can increase or decrease party members attitudes twards each other, in result earns you special endings. You can see up to as many as 80+ endings.
If you're a Star Wars fan, there's still enough here to warrant a purchase, but mostly it'll be for a piece of N64 Star Wars history. While I might have had different feelings about this game had I bought it at launch, I can't imagine feelings much more impressed by it. Shadows of the Empire is the most disappointing of all the N64 Star Wars games.
3226 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Soulcalibur is the best game on the Sega Dreamcast- it's as simple as that. I can't even explain in words what this game has to offer! I had never been a huge fan of fighting games, but when I played this, the tables turned. This game has the most depth and detailed graphics of any I've ever seen by far. It has probably the most beautiful backgrounds ever, perfect gameplay, an astounding soundtrack, fast weapon-clinging action, just to name a few. That's not even mentioning all the game modes and the exquisite art gallery. The character detail and design is so colorful, real, artistic, and smooth it'll blow your mind. This game is the mother of all fighting games, blowing any Tekken (especially Tag Tournament) into the ground. Tekken would be good if you could move faster than a turtle. Plus it's some really good epic scenes of each character, and each character is unique, in both multiple costumes and weapon use. Their names are even awesome, their outfits, moves, fast action combos, etc. This game is just too much to talk about- you have to see this for yourself! Fighting has never been better! If I owned Sega, the Dreamcast would come with this game at a minimum! This is a MUST OWN title for this system- it's incomplete without it! Buy it today!
6326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The N64 is one of the top 3 systems ever released by Nintendo along with SNES and Wii. The game library is pretty large and boasts a variety of racers, shooters, and rpgs/platform rpgs. The N64 gave us that first glimpse of extremely open world game play and 3D characteristics. This was the last system to feature cartridge based games with quick load times. In an era when Playstation was marketing their franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider, Nintendo took a more "fun" approach to the N64. One of the greatest things about the N64 is that it's built very sturdy and strong. The console and games can take a pretty good beating and still keep on working. There are a good variety of games that are fun for the whole family. I think this is a great console to own for anyone who was a gamer in the 90s or anyone looking for a starter console for their kids.
My only small complaint is the lack of a save feature. You beat it in one go, or you let Robotnick capture all those woodland creatures. It kind of works here, but, saving would be nice.
If you're not a fan of puzzles, I'd skip it; otherwise I consider this among the best of the Mario games.
If you're a parent, though, don't get your kids a Game Boy Pocket. Tantrums will explode all over the place.
Great sound.
8650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In this puzzle game, Dr. Eggman has captured the citizens of Beanville and is tryng to turn them into robots! It's up to you to set them free.
You really get the feeling like you are actually there, managing the whole park and how it runs. It is a great feeling when you start to make a profit and can build the best park with all the best rides that you can think of!
5074 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I hate first person shooters. I really do.
I stopped playing it after a week. So will true Sim Fans. Bring on another RCT add on pack!
6283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 best game since sliced bread. Better than Ultima 7 or even 5. Great grafix to boot. The character developement is similar to 2nd ed except for wheapon prof and wisdom attribute's big debute for main PC. The game deals with your lost memories and finding your way through dimensional gateways(aka Ultima, Dr. Who: Warrior's Gate, SG1 ect.) If you don't know everything thier is to know about the "rules" then it's a lot more fun. the compainions are -holes I would've preferred the "Kirk, Spock, Bones" comradery in SOME of the characters as was present in Ultima 7(Shamino, Iolo, Dupre, & Mr. A), but the skull guy is fun and your Undead so SoB compainions is appropriate I guess. Don't let sum D&D nerd tell you how to play, discover it yourself. It also runs flawlessly on XP which is a huge + for a game of this age(1999 I think) patch to 1.1.
8669 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nice
December 6, 2011 I saw my review of the Internet and wanted to update it for you. First of all anyone with this program, BUY the extra environments and cars. It is money well spent and a first class job of an addon. I wanted everyone to know that this program is still the top of the heap in graphics. I bought Battlefield 3 and it is good, but not the standard of the ego 2 engine. Codemasters are the king of graphics so far and I find that the more realism a game has, the more adicted you will become. No other program running with all variables to the max, looks like Dirt 3. Thank God for codemasters and I can hardly wait for GRID 2 in the summer.
4772 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There's no other way to put it, there has been no other game I've ever played in my life where I've wanted to play the game from the beginning over and over as I did with Castlevania:SOTN. Sure, I beat it countless times, but from beginning to end is just so much fun it's unbelieveable. The game is SUPER DEEP, you'll never use EVERY special trick no matter how long and how many times you play this game. The graphics are spectacular for 2D, the music is the best of any game I've ever played (why no soundtrack available??)
358 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's a charger, it does what it needs to, that's all there is to say.

Anyway,buy it if you have a 64,or Virtual Console it if you have a Wii.

Suspense: 9/10 This game is easily a victor in this department. My hats off to Shinji for making this game more suspensful unlike its sucessor, DC2.
6985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent racing game, I don't care if it is on a dated console, it is still one of the best! Shows how good the game was made and how the N64 can stand up to the test of time. But I do wish they would create a version for the PS2 though. Anyway this is an awesome game and I always play it(most of the time while listening to Rammstein)and it never grow old. You cannot say that about alot of games, but this one you definitley can. It is a must have if you own a N64 and if it comes out on a next gen console like the PS2 I am definitley gonna buy it. Higly Reccomended!
Overall, this is a really great game for the classic Game Boy. If you have a Game Boy, a Game Boy Color, or even a Game Boy Advance, itching for some classic MegaMan action, this is the game for you. If you are new to MegaMan, this should be a good place to start (Other than the Game Boy sequel, MegaMan II).
House of the Dead 2 gets my vote as the best "traditional" (meaning you kill things) light gun game available on a home system (Namco's Point Blank series, I think, has it beat in terms of potential enjoyability, but that's another kettle of fish). It's also one of the hardest. Even on the easiest setting with maximum health and credits, blasting your way through it is no small feat. Most enemies can sustain multiple shots, and dealing with several of them at once while not getting cut or bitten or tackled or whatever will challenge all but the fastest trigger fingers. For even more of a challenge, just try nailing all of those agonizingly evasive bonus items that appear when you shoot barrels, crates, etc.
8778 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For a 16 bit game, this rocks. Interesting set of characters, phenominal graphics, and outstanding music once again proves why the SNES is one of the all time greatest systems. As in controls this title utilizes every button available (9 total) to unleash incredible combos that makes this the fighting game to own.
Twisted Metal Head On: This is the spirtual sequel to twisted metal 2 its graphics and gameplay feel like they derived from number 2 however i would not say gameplay is quite as good as number 2 it does have all new stages and solid gameplay with new upgrade system after you kill an opponent you can collect a drop from them to increase your fire power this could be considered better or worse.
1. It is the best 2-D Super Mario game.
3841 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why can't there be more games like this? System Shock 2 is a one-of-a-kind Sci-Fi/Horror game that is a mix between a stealth action game and an RPG. It defies conventional definitions for games, and that is why I doubt I will ever play another one like it. I have played some creepy games before (e.g. "Thief", "Arx Fatalis"), but I have never played one before that hit me this hard with a combination of atmosphere and storyline. You can have nightmares about this game, thanks to its disturbing imagery, dark storyline, and eerie sounds.
Not many decade-long-running series of games stay true to their roots, but for the Mega Man series, keeping the same old-school, 2-D platform, nostalgic gameplay is a given. Critics hate the never-changing evolution of Mega Man, but real fans (like me) love it and take it in any form it comes. Here we have X4, one of the best and my second favorite X game (X3 is my favorite). This was my first X game I've ever owned and so it holds a special place to me. Now I will go over the pros and cons to X4 in terms of gameplay, graphics, sound, etc.:
Cranky Kong lets the Kong's have their own potion, Funky gives the Kong's weapons and Candy gives the Kong's musical instruments to use. (But you have to give them coins) And Snide the weasel helps you get golden bananas each time you collect a blueprint of the Blast-O-Matic machine.
1. More light with color. As I stated in the first satirical paragraph, this console is in color. So Your probably thinking, so my advance is in color as well. But the advances screen is impossible to see without a light right behind you. While this isn't backlight either this is easier to see. Much easier to see. why? Because this is vertical instead of horizontal. Which catches more light from the sides because of the higher surface area. This is very hard to explain in Ascii. But let me try. Let the <>=light. And let the {}=Gamboy color. And let the equal sign = Gameboy Advance. So here is the demonstration.

9427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
820 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GoldenEye 007 is not only the best movie tie-in game of all time, but it is perhaps the most influential first-person shooter ever to hit the gaming-console market. If you aren't aware of the plot of this game that's not a problem, because essential it is the same as the popular James Bond movie, GoldenEye, which was released in 1995- two years prior to this game's release.
The game is fun, engaging, and frustrating. The puzzles are challenging without being inpossible. The graphics aren't pretty, but they set the tone for the game PERFECTLY!
1168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a well-made game that perfectly blends battle sequences and puzzles. The battles, which can only be won using the right method against the right enemy, are simplified by Z-Targeting, which aims all attacks at the enemy. It takes a long time to beat (months), as any good RPG (Role-Playing Game) should. Unfortunately, it constantly and inevitably reminds you of the controls, although they're pretty easy, in messages which you usually must read. I suggest this for all people, especially those that enjoy a good challenge.
798 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game looked brand new, even though it was used. It worked perfectly. Super happy I got to have one of my childhood favorite games now.
Secret of Evermore takes you into one of these secret dimensions. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm a musician and serious music-lover, but for some reason the music in this game seemed to have an incredibly powerful effect, and actually set most of the atmosphere. The low occurrence of dialogue compared to most other adventure games too, as well as the fact that you only control one human character and a dog that only barks occasionally, actually made this feel like a completely private, very introspective game. The story was unique and interesting, taking you through the best possible settings they could have provided for each time period (i.e., a pyramid next to an archaeological camp, a castle enclosed by a peasant town and a lush forest, etc.); but you could also play this game just to relax. One of the great features is the ability to collect alchemy ingredients for magic spells, which can be sniffed out by your canine companion and then collected with the press of a button. You wouldn't believe how oddly therapeutic it is to do this for hours on end, while listening to laid-back, eerie, deep, or mysteriously distant-sounding instrumental themes that match your surroundings. The battles are also particularly fun, partly because they are not done on a different screen, but also due to the elastic, sometimes goofy animations of your characters. There is plenty of comedy and sarcasm in the dialogue too; I loved, for example, being told by a palace guard not to play in the crater created by my defeat of one of the bosses. Two of the forms taken by the dog are also amusing.

Now, in 2012, a whole 17 years later (really? that long ago...), a person can easily recognize the flaws of gameplay, sound, and playability. Sound effects are lo-fi, almost like comparing a cassette to a CD. The soundtrack is still amazing though, as if it were mapped on an entirely different bit format. Playability, there is one overall mode - the 1P Arcade mode (unless you count options and 2P). Every successful completion of the game with a character unlocks a new character to choose - the same one you fight in round 8. After that, you have all of the characters and there's not much else to do. There's no team battle, no survival, just...1P Arcade. So it works for 1995. The ending movies are pretty bad, all having the same soundtrack and really blocky ugly CGI. Of course in retrospect, this WAS 1995.
697 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It has been called the greatest fps of all time. Buy It for yourself and see why. You can do it, I believe in you
Easy to get lost, 1st time though a level will take about 30 mininuts. Enjoying myself, defult control was weird, but 1,3 i think feels normal.
It turns out that Wario distracted Mario in the first game by sending alien Tatanga to kidnap Daisy. So, he's the main bad guy, whereas Tatanga serves as a boss in the space world. Space world? Yup, there are 6 different worlds, and all of them have really weird settings. EXAMPLES: Macro Zone pits Mario into a giant house. Mario Zone is actually a factory that, on the outside, is shaped like the plucky plumber.
The other three games on the collection are fairly forgettable and were somewhat obscure in the day. "Phozon" is a type of puzzle game where you try to match up the phozons with the pattern without getting blown to bits. "Pole Position II" is a racing game where you blow up if you get too far off course or run into items. In that sense its realistic. However, the game is extremely difficult to play because the analog component of the paddle isn't compatible and you don't have a joystick so you're forced to drive your car using the directional buttons. What a pain. "Tower of Druaga" is the final game on the collection. It involves trying to get Gil to climb through all the levels of the Tower. It's kind of like an early video game version of role playing. It's kind of interesting, but it takes an incredibly long amount of time to defeat.

However the game can get very anoying with the way the car crashes work out, some of the races are very repetitive and you really won't be finding any good bonus features that will make you excitited to play it after wards. The records of your times in races is erased every time you turn off your system, I'm not sure if that has something to do with a pack of some sort but it sucks.
23 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game requires that you open an online account to play the game. A constant online source is required. Gave the game away.
3065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The greatest FF is hands down IV. This game offers cutscenes and a story that will keep your eyes glued to the screen until you beat it. The characters are very enjoyable as well. The bosses can get a little tough, but if your a hardcore gamer, this shouldn't bother you at all. I highly recommend this game even if you are not a fan of the series. This game does take a long time to beat, but thats another positive thing this game has to offer, as do most FF games.
7509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rogue Spear is a very cool game... It's gaming-style is similar to Delta Force but it has much more depth, interaction and is more exciting. First of all, theres the wide range of uniforms, weapons and characters to choose from. Also, after each successful mission, you get an awesome full sized screen shot that you can print out by pressing Print Screen on your keyboard and pasting it into any document. It's realistic, with enemies that duck, hide, surrender and much more. The missions are preceded by briefings that you can actually UNDERSTAND and profiles of the enemy organization. The environment is just like being there, with sandstorms in Oman and rain and thunder in Kosovo to name a few.... What can I say, the only thing that could possibly beat it is actually joining the army :).
Seeing as how I love Elton John's music and think very highly of Disney movies, it's unfortunate I had some kind of bitter resentment towards the Lion King's popularity which is the reason I never sat down and watched it. I will make an effort to actually watch the movie whenever I can. I mean it! I shouldn't hold resentment over a *movie* for crying out loud, especially one that's supposed to bring joy and adventure into our lives. Perhaps I was jealous that all the kids were into the same things and I wanted to separate myself from the bunch. I used to be rebellious as a kid. Rebellious against not only teachers and my parents, but other classmates. That's true rebellion!
2677 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I paid extra because i thought it was by Nintendo as advertised. It's generic. What a bunch of bull.

7875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of several games I was introduced to by a friend back in the early to mid 90s. Since it was one-player I always watched Adam play it and eventually went out to buy it. Until Ocarina of Time was released this was my favorite Zelda game to date. I downloaded it on the Wii and am still working on finding all of the hearts; I have one more to left.

Now, for original Game Boy, it's no masterpiece like Metroid II, Tetris, or Link's Awakening. But Super Mario Land is, however, a fine jumping-stomping-smashing-fireball-spitting Mario game, and one of the first and best games available for that giant grey plastic box of yore.
8380 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is the typical "grab headlines and not deliver" that I'm coming to expect from Lucasarts. This is an RTS 2 years behind in Technology. I've never understood how the Empire couldn't have a battlefield mapped, yet the "ZERO FIELD OF VISION" persists in this game. The controls are twitchy, and the graphics are can't even compete with lower class RTS games like Metal Fatigue. I bought the game b/c I'm a fan, but I'd rather spend my time reading the novels than play this poorly done amateurish shrink wrapped goop.
MediEvil's controls are a little awkward but once you get the hang of them it becomes quite nice, the atmosphere of this game is dark and gritty but not too much. As I said before the gameplay is a hack and slash type thing like God of War but less gory... much, much, much, much, MUCH less gory than that game and it does throw around puzzles. The game does beg for you to get every single chalice (collectables) by throwing in a lot of challenges that can make it easier to complete if you have a certain weapon such as enemies having an insane amount of health and would take literally forever to kill with your second to strongest sword. Because of this getting a 100% on this game is really easy and there is no bad ending for doing a No Chalice run if you so wish to do so.
I bought this game a few weeks ago at a Play N Trade, and I must say that this game is fanTASTIC!
*I feel like this game deserves a 5 star, classic rating. If it could be made and updated for a portable player, I would be one happy girl.*

2696 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite PS1 games. great graphics nad story. Highly recommended.
I played this game when it was much newer and loved it. It doesn't look or play like the RCT games because IT'S NOT AN RCT GAME, but it's still great as it's own game.
2387 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have no idea why I still play Pokemon from time to time. I was into it before it became popular, and I still enjoy the games (not the cards... ...) more than 2 years after the fad breathed it's last. Yes, new titles have been coming out, but no one seems to like them very much and they are not changing the game enough to make them worth buying.
But the price is right for this game at this time. Now that the Call to Power sequel is out, I would recommend this game to see if you enjoy the new format.
The thing which seperates a great game from a good one is replay value. This game has replay value like you wouldn't believe. I've owned it for years. Yet, every once in a while I simply must go for a spin down one of the tracks. The music, the graphics, the controls...Pefect. This game is a work of art. The best thing to every come from Psygnosis, and in my opinion, the best game in the series. If you love racing games, you'll buy this one and guard it with you life.
After all, it's been the in the top 10 of pest selling PC games for over a year. Millions can't be wrong.

6336 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So I got a N64 (on Amazon) about a year ago. I've been wanting one since I was young. I love this old video game console! I think it's a great system and there are fun games for it. It's too bad that the old systems and games are forgotten as the new ones come. I know the Wii is a great system (and the WiiU is going to be the best!!!), but the old systems are still fun. :)

Yes, it's that good.
3445 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I'm the loser who waited until early 2013 to get this.... WHY did I wait!?
Those who are waiting for PS2, give Dreamcast a try. There's more room than for just one system on top of the TV, and I guaranteed this system will not disappoint in tandem with its bigger brother.
3212 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely had to have this game when it came out. It was such a great time when console games were finally living up to there arcade counterparts and even surpassing them in ways(MvC2 had better graphics than the arcade). In Marvel vs. Capcom you select two fighters composed of either Marvel or Capcom characters(or both). You can switch between them during the fight which hadn't been done yet on home consoles due to RAM limitations. Such a great game and I'm glad to have it in the collection because it's as good as having the arcade machine itself.
I don't want to tell any more than what I have, as I might spoil the plot if I do, but if you're looking for a fun, spectacular, mind-blowing (at least for a game released in 1994) and classic game, Donkey Kong Country awaits. And so does the stolen banana horde.
4343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Until they finally release Starcraft II, this is still a game worth playing. And when they do release Starcraft II, you best play this game beforehand...you wouldn't want to miss out on the story.
The visuals are stunning for when the game was made. Actually they still are. The backgrounds are pre-rendered with some interaction here and there. While that sounds like it makes a rather static game it does mean when you walk into a familar Blade Runner movie location you REALLY feel it. Down to the little details the background visuals really inspire.
+ the battle are pretty difficult ( specially the boss battle)
Although I had an NES, Sega Genesis, SNES and at some point in my very young years an Atari. I would have never been what a person could call a gamer. Not until the advent of this title did I commit time and energy to a game that I could have been using for something else which is, by my own personal criteria, the definition of a gamer.
It would have helped the emotional impact of the storyboards had not the Man-Akin from those bizarre pseudo-50's "male-enhancement" commercials been chosen to play the hero. (Not Bob Dole, that other guy.) His constipated facial expressions rarely match the deadly serious dialogue, and turn parts of the story from tragedy to farce. But the schticky dialogue is largely intentional, and although often overcooked, usually works well to advance the story.
6816 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I get on with the review, I have to share some nostalgia with you. I believe my first encounter with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was at the nearest Wal-Mart back in the late summer/early fall of 1992 and I remember seeing the game on display in the videogame section, and I played the Emerald Hill Zone, and I couldn't wait for the game to come out. Fast forward several months later, and it's Christmas Day, and I got Sonic 2. I spent most of the day playing this and even back then, I felt it was better than the first game (which is still a classic). Over the years, I've given some deeper thought about which of the classic Sonic games is the best, I think Sonic 2 is the best of all because it retains a good challenge and fixes the flaws in Sonic 1.
There were only two annoyances in this game, firstly weappons degraded after use at a very unrealistic rate, and the monsters kept re-spawning even if you wiped an area clean of them. BUT.. the developers were kind enough to come up with a patch you can download to fix this particular problem, so its not that big of a deal.
I admit I'm disappointed at the way the turn the series have made. I wish they kept it as a patformer and just added maybe some adventure elelments to it like they did Twinsanity (even though its glitchy as hell). Naughty Dog where did you go? Crash Bandicoot Warped is just what I expected it to be. Its funny, addicting, challenging and overall just shows graphics don't make the game, but its content and gameplay.
3366 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You can say this is resident evil with dinosaurs but it's a little more than that. Definitely scary. Puzzles are a little complex and tricky. You'll need a pen and paper to figure them out. Cutscenes are awesome. Monsters are quick here. You no longer have the comfort of running away from a slow moving zombie. Certainly challenging. Four stars overall because this game is short, but still worth it.
9553 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I sometimes wonder how people would react to this game if it did not have the Final Fantasy franchise name attached to it.
2306 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game surpassed my already high expectations. When I first played it I was rather skeptical, but it is a very fun game. The levels to do are immense. The characters all have their own unique styles of fighting, and the missions are amazingly fun.
8085 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 WOW! What an incredible game this is! The best fpc ever released in my opinion. Even Halflife has it's job cut out against this one! Superior graphics, the best A.I. to date and totally realistic Startrek weaponry, not to mention an excellent and engrossing storyline. The game is actually a difficult one to beat, there are some puzzles that are very challenging. Anyone, who says this game is way too easy is definitely using cheats and/or a walkthrough. Get this game today! It is more than worth the money!
- In the Castlevina Time line this game takes place after Castlevaina: Dracula X on Super Nintendo
2. Graphics- Great! As I said, everything is 3-D like the Deku Tree and Link himself. Take a look!
Bullet time: This may be the game's crowning feature. Think The Matrix, where Neo dodges a few bullets. You can do this on a regular basis in Max Payne.
8757 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With the runaway success of Donkey Kong Country, Rare went back to the drawing board and a year later came the sequel. In 1995, Rare developed and released Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest for the Super NES. It was an immediate success. The sequel to DKC was bigger and better in every way possible. Better graphics, better music, brand new stages with even more variety and new characters helped catapult this game into millions of homes.
Okay, now I have been an enormous fan of Spyro for years since my childhood. Spyro the Dragon was my first ever 3-D platformer/ action adventure game I ever played. Titles like N-64's Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time came afterwards, so Spyro holds a special place in my heart and for good reason. The game itself is of grand quality. The game play is fluent and fun, The visuals for its time is still vibrant with color, the enemies are well varied, and it's a pleasure to experience from start to finish. As well, there's a bonus room that's super fun. Won't spoil whats in there though.
Now don't let this review get you enthusiastic about the game because on the same token, you might be disappointed with the sequel. There are gameplay problems such as a new macro economy that doesn't seem to have been well planned out by the designers, no scenarios or predesigned maps (specifically, the world map), a combat system that leaves you in disbelief when your M-16 soldiers are wiped out by cowboys, etc... I was also disappointed by the new wonders (I'm not sure how the copyright worked out with the new company, but I felt the old wonders were more logical. An example is the sphinx instead of the pyramids.) that seemed to disappear quick (as far as their effects) because technology is obtained so easilly.
9728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like game, haven't play for long time ago. enjoy play game as fun and better than boring? or what? no idea
1584 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent sale.
The music in both games is excellent, and each one's battle theme has that familiar bassline at the beginning. The visuals are very dated, but the new CG cinemas are gorgeous. Number V has perhaps the most unique feature of any FF game: the job system. True, this was made popular in the US first with Final Fantasy Tactics, but it was still quite unique. My recommendation is leveling up one job to the max with one character, then trying another. The bottom line: I can't help but recommend this game for the classic gameplay and the familiar 16-bit Final Fantasy feel captured perfectly on the Playstation. The CG cinemas, which are more like the Amano art than the normal CG art in other FF games, are gorgeous, but there are only two in each game: one that plays before the title screen (and can be skipped anytime), and one at the end. Overall, I highly recommend this game, and that being said, go to your local used/rare game store and check it out!
7477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The fiancee loves the game. She used to love Yoshi's Island so when we were browsing amazon and she saw this she immediately wanted it, and she's thoroughly enjoying it. Great old game.
Stroyline/Gameplay- 8/10 If I were to complain about anything, this would have to be it, but only on a minor level. The gameplay is flawless and retains that Goldeneye feeling...but the story...well I wish I could say the same. While definitely not a bad storyline, it isn't at all memorable. Basically, it is the generic " Aliens are attacking and we must destroy their base" ruitine. During the first half of the game the storyline is well- executed, but the horror begins later on. Basically you meet up with a cute little alien named Elvis later on,and discover some interesting things. The first half are spy missions similar to Goldeneye, just more featuristic. But later on, it turns into a Halo-deal, something I wasn't looking forward to. Actually, when I played this game when it first came out, I hated the solo missions, but loved the multiplayer. After playing through the game again, I can say that the solo missions are indeed very fun, but I never found myself getting attached to them or wanting to finish the game on the Perfect Agent difficulty setting. Overall, the solo missions aren't the masterpiece that was Goldeneye, but given the fact that the gameplay is the same as Goldeneye's, it still manages to be fun.
The MAYOR SHORTFALLS ARE: 1- Game speed. By the time you reach the space age you will not have been able to explore much of the world, and will not have been able to build an army from a particular historical age. Since the speed is so fast, by the time you have an army of, let's say musketeers, you have already discovered planes and the nuclear bomb. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING! 2- Units: Fewer than its predecessors and less realistic. 3- The space age: It is only confusing and doesn't really help to make the game interesting. 4- Unconventional units: You have now lawyers and eco-warriors that work something like the spies in the original game. In the end they end up beying only annoying and totally confusing! It would have been better to add a more sound political and economic sistem to the game and add a few varibles afterwards (i.e.: political movements and private enterprise). 5- Customization: It is now impossible to customize the game, like create new units as it was possible in CIV 2. I hate that! 6- Maps: Lacks a map of earth! It used to be the only map I played on in CIV 2!
The sound is pretty good, the music through out the game is easy enough to cope with. As for the sound effects, they are what you would expect from an extreme game. You hear yells when you ride off a cliff, you can hear the irrating motorbike noise as you race, you can hear thumps when you hit the ground hard. The only complaint about the sound is that the comentator's speech is a little repetitive, but otherwise you can get rid of the comentator. 4/5
7802 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a real decent version of Killer Instinct ported (from the SNES version) to the gameboy. The main differences are the sound, and graphics. The moves are still there, but some look like they are used differently. The combos are easier and fun on the GB version. I didn't really see blood in this one. Two characters (Riptor and Cinder) were not there. I have no idea why. Anyway if this is played on the GameBoy it was made for, then you can turn up and down the brightness, but this version has the smallest resolution. If you play it on the GBA, you will see extra color was added and you can now change the resolution with L to high, and R to low. Then if it is played on GBA SP, or DS, you will get better lighting of the screen obviously. This game is missing two characters and has few differences, but its worth to get it. Especially, if you want it for your Rare/Rareware collection, buy it! Many themes were also recongnized in this game. It feels like playing an original NES game on a GameBoy.
I think it's time I talk about the other game modes before I completely wrap this review up; these are mainly suited for co-op or versus multiplayer, in which one player plays as Lammy while the other is a monochrome counterpart, or, if you beat the game, it could be Lammy and PARAPPA THE RAPPER! Yes, that's right! After beating the main game, you could play a special campaign playing as Parappa himself, and this mode even has its own cutscenes! Granted, they're not at all related to Lammy's side of the story, but they are entertaining in their own right. Not to mention, the songs/levels have been changed up exclusively for Parappa to the point where song lyrics are different.
2634 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I don't see all the hype in this portable gaming device. The games graphics are so terrible (So is Game Boy Advance). The only good Nintendo graphics is the brand new Nintendo DS which has Nintendo 64 graphics which isn't too shabby. But I really hate the Pocket and Color because it's a waste of money. Why would you get something in black and white with terrible graphics and then get one with only some colors (It's not that good) and plus the addition of bad graphics...now that's what I call a bad deal.
Oddly, many reviews rave about this (and the sequel's) amazing story, but I beg to differ. There's nothing wrong with the story, it's very tastefully and cleverly done, but it's only just barely novel-worthy. The characters are terrific and there is a wonderful eccentricity about the whole adventure.
The Nintendo 64 made some of the best games that are now classics. (For example; Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 to name a few) The best colored console (to me) is the Jungle Green console because it's translucent which makes it pleasant to look at.

4204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now that Blizzard has announced that it is developing Starcraft 2, this is a great time to go back and pick up this classic real-time strategy game. It's pretty much accepted amongst serious RTS enthusiasts that Starcraft is the gold standard of the genre. As many other reviewers have mentioned, this game is polished, incredibly well balanced, and a lot of fun to play. Both the single-player and multi-player features are enjoyable (pretty amazing that you can still get games on battle.net, considering that this is product is ten years old), and Blizzard still provides patch support for the game. The included strategy guides are rather small, unfortunately, and are difficult to read, but they aren't particularly good anyway, so it's no big loss to not read them.
And therefore one of the best to learn with.

6008 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The worst thing about Diablo II is that it is being called an RPG. In reality, it is a game about killing things--lots of things. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, it is addictive and satisfying, it just isn't an RPG.

2725 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The worst game EVER created! I wouldn't take this game even if someone offered ME money to take it.
Another dire problem is the process of saving your game. The game only lets you save at designated points instead of saving at the completion of each level which again makes this game seem frustrating when you complete a substantial amount of the game and suddenly die and get sent back five to eight levels for losing all your lives.
Sound, really good, don't need to go into this.
2209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome
But you know what? I played the first mission and I was pleasantly surprised. The game actually wasn't that bad! It was actually quite entertaining just flying around and shooting these drones out from the sky. The game really isn't that easy to learn, especially if you buy the game used without an instruction booklet. There are basically a lot of nooks and crannies that I have yet to figure out, like what right-C does, or how bombs work. But the introductory missions are fun and pretty easy. However, the gameplay got to be quite repetitive. I mean, you just go around and shoot enemies from the sky. Yay. There are also a lot of sections where you have nothing to do, and it gets boring. Maybe I could have moved on to the third mission.
3216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When Namco introduced Pole Position, they revolutionized gaming forever. When Namco introduced Dig Dug, they revolutionized gaming forever. When Namco introduced Pac-man, they revolutionized gaming forever. When Namco introduced Soul Calibur...you know the rest.
4709 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Baldurs Gate, is probably one of the better role playing games on the market today. It has some good characters, along with a riviting story line that will keep you hooked as you play it. The music is great, and the graphics are very good for a computer game. There is a wide list of characters and NPC's that will help your character on their quest. And the best part of this game, is that the controls are actually easy to use, so you aren't stressing yourself out to looking for the right buttons to use in your battles. I rate this game at 4 stars because it could be a little longer, and a little better, but for 19.99 it is definately a game worth buying.
FINAL SCORE= 8.75
4905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works as you would expect, though I love these things! no more moving the n64 on the floor, or sitting on the floor to play, this really brings retro consoles back to life as an adult.

also the shipping was quick... YEAH
So with all these problems, why is Legends such a good game? Heart, and lots of it. Mix in a good story, a wonderful cast of characters (and enemies), and throw in some of Capcom's more respectable forays in voice acting department, and you got a winner. While some may claim that Legends carries a "kiddy tone", I actually find this to be one of the game's charms and strengths. Honestly, if you don't laugh when one of the Lego Men, err, I mean Servebots messes up and angers Tron, there is something wrong. Seriously, it isn't anymore kiddy than a Mario or Zelda game (or most of Nintendo's gaming library for that matter).

2864 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 not worth 10 cents, graphics are very poor for nintendo 64 The game is very tedious finding pass cards in every level to open doors gets old very quick. The aliens also don't put up a fight just there to die. Co op would be a nice feature but it is the same maps and bots running in circles is boring. After level 2 there seams to be missing the yellow card looked every where and my friend and i could not find it. A much better version of this is availible on the ps1 . definately don't waste any money on this game, it down right sucks
5125 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unreal Tournament is one great game! As far as first person shooters are concerned on the Mac, UT is the champion! Great graphics, great gameplay... this game has it all. I originally used this on my iMac 233mhz with a Gamewizard Voodoo2 card installed and it ran fantastic. Now I'm on the same iMac, but with a 466mhz processor and averaging 40+ frames per second on the game! There is no real storyline here, but this isn't the type of game that requires one. This is all about pure action! The levels that come bundled in with Unreal Tournament are great, but once you start to add on 3rd party levels from the Internet, the game really takes flight. I have found some incredibly detailed levels that will keep you engrossed for hours on end! If you want a fun game that can even be played across the Internet then Unreal Tournament is the game for you!

7320 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This could be considered the companion to Alien Trilogy as it takes place in the Fourth Movie following the first three presented in Alien Trilogy. This game featured controls that people are more familiar with in these days, but didn't understand at the time. The controls may be above average, and the graphics are excellent for the time, but seriously, the level design is a piece of crap! What kind of space ship is this? Very illogical design leads to BORING gameplay that is only fun for 5 minutes with invincibility turned on, otherwise you'll die in 2 minutes without it because you move soo slow. An interesting thing is that if you get impregnated by a facehugger you won't be allowed to go through airlocks or elevators, which is interesting that they followed through on this principal with the chestbursters, and you'll have to find a device to take out the creature before the time runs out. The thing that doesn't make sense with this is that even with a chestburster inside you, aliens will attack you, and that makes no sense. Facehuggers can also attack you by hitting you with their tails. Don't play this game, I'd rather watch the movie.
The items in the game play a big part. Some will boost your speed, while some are used to slow down enemies. Some steal enemies items, and some let you do things such as go invincible or invisible. Most of the however, are used to smash your opponents into the air and slow them down. In battle, it will be used as one of 3 hits to destroy the enemy.
5935 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legendary Diablo2.
There were only two things about this game that I have any sort of beef with. Firstly the character of Gabriel seemed to have lost a bit of his tact and charm. In the first game Gabriel could charm the pants off of just about anyone he met and could smooth talk his way just about anywhere he pleased. Although the voice actor was the same man as the first GK game he seems to have forgoten Gabriel's smooth cajun accent for a horribly sounding southern drawl.
One day, while browsing my local Blockbuster, my sister saw a cover with monkeys on it. With that and Rugrats, she checked out the counter with my selections, and we went home that day to play games. I don't remember what games I checked out (FFIX?), but Ape Escape was the one title we played together until we had to return it.
2263 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I extremely recommend this, especially for the games that have come out lately, which may run slow without it. Other games won't even let you play the full version enless you have an expansion pack. I speeds up the game speed and raises the graphic quality by a lot. It makes a dramatic difference to your game. Go and buy it today.

The bad:
2127 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fun for the exact opposite reason that Metal Gear Solid is fun. In this game stealth isn't of much importance, while quickly killing all the bad guys on the screen is important. Like most action games this one is staged out into many different missions, which usually have five or six objectives in order throughout the level. My personal favorite aspect of this game is the target system which locks on to the enemy of your choice making the game easier in a crowded room of enemies. Syphon Filter is one great pure action game.
This game has everything you need for hours of high quality of gaming experience, the art concept of the game goes over expectations of the hardware limitation of the PSO, The design of every single element in the game is very creative and unique, the developers invested time on the comedy of the game, which is a tradition on the original trilogy, as usual the controller its a wonder no need to struggle controlling the character and it vibrates as well, the powers, the moves and the style of the main character (CB), its superb, every part of the game becomes fun, not repeatable pattern of enemies or levels, the game itself has a lot of extras for a replay, definitely an outstanding game!!!!!.
The Music? Well, aside from the credit music, there isn't really a soundtrack. But the background music is subperb! Really, the subtle music cues are exactly what the game needs to convey emotion, urgency, peace, and outright chaos! If you do not run near the end when the sirens are going off with the threat of a facility explosion (only to realized you can take your time) then you are clearly taking riddiline!
4488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Civilization II was the first turn-based stategy game I ever played. Heck, it was the first strategy game I ever played period. And it was amazing. Take control of a civilization and guide from the dark ages all the way to the launch of a space ship to an alien world. The only way you can possibly describe a game that attempts to simulate all of history is EPIC. Civilization II was greatly loved, and with good reason. It was quite possibly the most addictive strategy game ever when it was released. So when people heard about a sequel to what many considered the greatest game of all time...

1913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game for my bro.
8872 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i discovered this game on a demo disk when i bought a new ps-1 years ago and was hooked right away.i think this game is the best of the series- i like it better than AC2 and 3!! i like the graphics and gameplay better.i haven't played nexus yet,but this one is still the best- they shouldn't have changed anything.
That being said, I'll move onto the actual review for anyone thinking about delving into this great game for their first time. The first thing you notice is that you have almost no health. You begin to discover why as you start wandering around a crashed space ship and it appears you were some kind of prisoner. Naturally the first things you need to do are finding some health and then find some way out of the ship. The ship is kind of a boring part of the level, but it leads you a bit into the story line because you clearly crash landed on an alien planet. When you finally get out of the ship the first thing you'll notice is how amazing and stunning the world is that has been created for you. Outside it's very bright and vibrant in spots. This felt a little different compared to games like Quake, Half Life, Doom, because a lot of those games are very dark and have a major dungeon crawl atmosphere to them. Unreal has a lot of that usual stuff as well, but it also has a lot of time spent outside where you get to see amazing scenery. One thing the developers did right was making you feel like the in game world was huge! This was really impressive and fun when you first got into it.
The Nintendo 64, or N64 as it is sometimes referred, followed in the wake of success of the first Sony console, the PlayStation, and started producing their games with 3D graphics. Instead of limiting the player to only being able to move forward and backward, or left and right, you could now move in all directions. This opened a portal for Nintendo to take some of their classic characters and put them in truly immersive worlds. For example, Mario was no longer a 16-bit side scrolling red and blue pixel, but a small Italian man with a healthy knack for adventure. Being able to see these characters up close and all around was something like we had never seen before. The result ended up being games like Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and the countless hours and vivid gameplay that they would offer.
The Game Boy Color also featured an infrared communications port for wireless linking. The feature was only supported in a few games, so the infrared port was dropped from the Game Boy Advance line, to be later reintroduced with the Nintendo 3DS, though wireless linking (using Wi-Fi) would return in the Nintendo DS line. The console was capable of showing up to 56 different colors simultaneously on screen from its palette of 32,768 (8x4 color background palettes, 8x3+transparent sprite palettes), and could add basic four-, seven- or ten-color shading to games that had been developed for the original 4-shades-of-grey Game Boy. In the 7-color modes, the sprites and backgrounds were given separate color schemes, and in the 10-color modes the sprites were further split into two differently-colored groups; however, as flat black (or white) was a shared fourth color in all but one (7-color) palette, the overall effect was that of 4, 6 or 8 colors. This novel method of upgrading the color count did result in graphic artifacts in certain games; for example, sometimes a sprite that was supposed to meld into the background would be colored separately, making it easily noticeable.

A brilliant start for the SNES as in 1990 in Japan as they released the Super-Famicom (Japanese Nintendo System), Nintendo wowed players back then in that country and it became the highest acclaimed game in the series back then since SMB 3. It spawned hype here in the US earlier in Nintendo Power and many other game magazines even about the shiny new Super Nintendo entertainment system and it's launch title "Super Mario World". On August 13th 1991, the SNES premiered with the game that went with out and fans were originally worried if it will live up to be a masterpiece like "Super Mario Brothers 3" and if it was a masterpiece they got, it's a masterpiece they finally got.
2528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like going back to playing old school console again
I enjoy TFC over HLDM because of the variety. Sometimes I play Medic and heal my teammates amid explosions. Others I play Engineer and set up a sentry gun to defend our flag. Or maybe I might play Pyro and enjoy setting enemies on fire. And if I'm feeling frustrated? I'll break out the Heavy Weapons Guy- just hold down the button and shoot at what moves.
Now let's take a closer look at the controller.
4425 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The controller for the Super Nintendo is great. The size is perfect for anyone and the buttons can be easily reached by your thumbs. Sony made a great decision by modeling their PSX controllers after the Super Nintendo's controllers. If you are looking for a controller with turbo or a a fancier controller with a joystick and a different feel, this is not the controller you want. But if you want a standard controller for you Super Nintendo, this is the controller you want to get.

1031 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wassup, fellow gamerz! Nubs. Lulz.
Value: 8/10 - Even though I don't have a Nintendo 64, if I did, I would probably buy this game because it is lots of fun to play. It can also be very strategic at times, which is good for a racing car game.
The gameplay is by far the biggest stand out. Shinobi can do just about anything a realistic human warrior can do; besides summon dragon spirits for fire and using his body like a human bomb and shield himself with lightning. Joe mousashi can do air somersaults and climb across ledges; has a wide variety of melee attacks that include different dashing and jumping attacks. What also sets this game apart to is it makes use of a hook element like in Strider and also you can block your opponents attacks as well.
9339 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's like the original arcade classic but it has updated graphics. The original arcade classic is great (I wish I had an actual Frogger arcade game [either upright or cocktail] in my basement), and the same great gameplay appears on the SNES with this update!
I still stand by what I say in the original review: "The Donkey Kong Country series, for example, came along with a similar idea and made it more exciting IMO, so, if I were you I'd go with one of those games instead of Super Mario World. For the most part the levels in the DKC series feel different from each other (plus, they feel more creative and memorable). Unfortunately, many of the levels in Super Mario World are all basically the same and, as a result, I feel exhausted after playing the game for two hours.
1. Graphics that are fantastically detailed, intricate, and achingly beautiful. Some astonishing joy rides. Sound effects and music approach perfection.
Sound: What can be said; This is, without a doubt, the greatest video game soundtrack of all time. Composer Yuzo Koshiro used his deep knowledge of the then outdated PC-8801 hardware to create an extremely memorable and very engaging soundtrack that makes you want to keep moving left and kicking ass every second. All the tracks sounds unique in their own right, and are a blast to listen to.
The controls take a little getting used to but after awhile they become second nature and the game is so worth getting used to the controls. This is a definite 'worth your money' game! The graphics aren't 'amazing' but nor are they bad. Hope you get to enjoy this game!
Sound: 7.5 Well, this is a CD-based machine, so the music is high quality. Some of it seems a bit out of place for a survival horror game, but it's not bad. This actually works in some places, such as the town/market area, where the Christmas atmosphere and music creates an atmosphere eerily reminiscent of the original Gremlins film. Voice acting is another thing entirely. While I don't think it is quite as bad as most of the professional magazines have made it out to be, it's definitely of the B-movie variety, perhaps a bit better than the original Resident Evil's. Maybe.

The side scroller platform/RPG gameplay is a blast. The castle is HUGE and you'll never tire of exploring it and uncovering new relics and weapons. And at the end there's even a way to unlock the upside-down castle, with new music and graphics!! There's just so much replayability here.
1829 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm semi serious about this. This game is tough. It's an excellent platformer, one of the all time best for that matter, but some of the levels are rage inducing.
2748 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I could go on and on, but look, it is really very simple. It's hard to believe Titus could have screwed up this game so badly. They should be ashamed of themselves for releasing it.
8215 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a cool game! There is a top-down perspective when you're exploring the outside area. When you go in buildings, it switches to a 3D first-person perspective. Graphics in this game are quite good. The dinosaurs look extremely good. But the sweetest thing about this game is the sound...in FULL DOLBY SURROUND SOUND! Not many games on the SNES had surround sound (the only other game I can think of that does is Super Turrican).
6911 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am personally not a fan of RPGs like Final Fantasy, but this game provides the elements of RPGs lightly rather than full blown. Its a good game for those Zelda fans. One thing that does become tedious is the surprise battles and hidden enemies which pop up out of nowhere.
6480 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game when it first came out, and I had not heard one thing about it. It was one of those impulse buys. I didn't expect too much out of it, just something to do, but I was suprised. This game is great. I wouldn't say it's on the same level and Nintendo 007 series or Perfect Dark, but Medal of Honor was very fun. A couple of the things that I think could have been different are features like shooting the German's helmet off. It's kind of cool at first, but gets frustrating later. Perhaps the biggest fault of the game was that it was a little too easy. I like a challenge. Althought I finished all of the levels fairly quick, I find myself going back and trying them again, especially after I watch war movies.
6797 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcde Game years ago when it first came out, easy to play and hours of fun. I had to buy it again because some douchebags stole my games at my house. I bought it again after I bought the Playstation game because it loads too much at the challenge match at the last match. The Sega Genesis one is better because it has a short load time,but the wrestlers are a little smaller, hardly noticeable it looks close to the arcade version. I use to play this game a lot after school. It has eight wrestlers:Razor Ramon,Bret Hart,Yokozuna,The Undertaker, Bam Bam Bigelow,Doink the clown,Shawn Michaels, and Lex Luger. My favorite wrestler is Razor Ramon(Scott Hall)because he has effective moves plus he is my favorite in real life. I wish Midway would make another one it with 30 wrestlers and still keep it 2d, but have it really detailed it would be so much fun online and two player co-op mode. I would recommend this game if you like 2d fighters and like Midway style of over the top fighting.
GoldenEye 007 was a blast from the past. The best movie-license game of the 007 franchise!
~Impact Hammer-No ammo, you always have this, if you go by someone with this, you can shoot guts everywhere!
Firstly, Final Fantasy V. It is doubtlessly better than the first four. The graphics, sound and storyline are far superior. The characters have better personalities than the first four. Basically you take command of this guy called Butz who is travelling around the world on his chocobo. The wind begins to weaken and you and some friends are given the task of protecting the crystals which basically control the world. This is an enjoyable game and I recommend you play this one first because FF6 is so much better. If you play that first then FF5 will be a let down.
The BEST part about SC is that it allows other "scenarios", which are essentially EXTRA FREE GAMES, to be made or DLed quickly and safely over multiplayer. In addition to Blizzard's versions, hundreds of fanmade games are available all over multiplayer, enabling for an excellent experience. From "SCV Football" to "capture the flag" to "Diplomacy", you'll find tons of fun things to play. SC is still updated and patched by Blizzard after *eight* years, which shows something great.

The Armored Armadillo stage alone has more enemies (mostly bats) than ANY stage in any other Mega Man game. The Spark Mandrill and Chill Penguin stages have tons of enemies too. Even the introduction stage (which was weak and empty-looking in X2 and X3) will have you excitedly jumping around, shooting everything that walks or flies into your path. ALL the stages have a substantial amount of enemies. The stages in Mega Man X2 and X3 look empty and dull compared to the ones in the original X. This is the number one reason the original MMX is my favorite of all the X games on the Super NES. Capcom threw in as many enemies in each level as they possibly could (including the Sigma stages) and THAT'S what I like to see!
9934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT GAME!
Other than that, Sonic 1 is a classic Sega staple. Pure and simple. It's a 5 star game in comparison to other platformers, but I'm just giving it 4 stars when standing up to the other games in the series. So if you have an old Genesis, or if you bought the Sonic Mega Collection, and if you happen to be a fan of the games, DON'T SKIP OUT ON THIS ONE! It made the series what it is today, and serves as important history for video games. PLAY IT NOW!
The game is an RPG, meaning experience building and random battles, all in a quest (in this case) to become the best. You have a rival (who you name) and the two of you compete through out the entire game.
All it will do, is poison and scar your mind for life. You'll never be the same again.

Some of the new features include the direct-X like feel where you see a building, you enter it, and the side of the wall disappears to reveal the room you step into beyond. THis trick is very ingeneous in packing in all the areas and objects to investigate although on one of the chapters, I had a little trouble with it at one point.

I don't remember much else about the game since it's been a while since I had time to play it. I do know it took me quite a while before I managed to get some things such as all the Poes and Golden Skulltulas but no matter how many times I play this game it doesn't lose its appeal. Like I said, it's challenging but not so hard that you throw the controller down in frustration and give up.

Graphics: 8.5 Clean. Very clean. That's the most appropriate way to describe the visuals in Blue Stinger. The high-resolution texture maps and relatively high-polygon models are what you'd expect from a next-generation console, and the developers made sure to add liberal amounts of lighting, particle and translucency effects. Boss encounters are another notable, as they really show off the abilities of Sega's machine. The only area in which Blue Stinger does not stack up is a big one: animation. No motion-capture here. The characters animate quite stiffly, creating a rather slow and goofy-looking gait, and while this is not totally damning, it takes a while to get used to.
Most noteable about the game is the couch-fishing part of the game. Once you have the fishing pole, you will be able to use certain items as bait for couch-fishing. I will go ahead and spoil this much: Never use the boot as bait, or you will die. Plain and simple. The rest is for you to discover. This game can seem pretty tough at times because of getting stuck on a certain situation, just think things through in a "Beavis and Butthead" mentality and you may be surprised by the solution. Also, there are a couple hints hidden in the game, most noteably Mr. Van Dreissan's classroom.
-I like how many of the stages have new elements thrown in that were not used before. For instance, in Cyber Peacock's stage, you must race to the end, and if you make it fast enough, you get a bonus. Slash Beast's stage is on a moving train. Plus, I thought it was clever to reward the players in Magma Dragoon's stage in letting them use the robot-ride-armor to fight the boss if they make it through the stage unscathed.
On its own merit in 1995, it was a smash-box hit and everybody was ahhed by the graphics, 3d environments, and the musical score. Back then, we were used to Super Mario World and Final Fight. This was something completely different. No one cared about the flaws the game had back then. It was par for the course.

4100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! Rarely am I as floored as I was when I popped in Half-Life for the first time! This is done with the Quake 2 engine! I certainly couldn't tell! When you first get off the train in the beginning, a security guard TALKS to you, and his mouth even moves (although one of the scientists looks like he talks out of the SIDE of his mouth)! Of course, other games do this now, but Half-Life was one of the first when it came out, and MY mouth dropped open! When I entered the facility, another guard talked and told me that his computer crashed and was going to get it fixed! Trust me, there's PLENTY of other scenes like this that will make you wonder if it's a movie or a game. Everything is just so REALISTIC! What's the catch? ...NOTHING! Listen to the gaming magazines and web sites...buy it! You'll be glad you did!

4272 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has basically ruined my life and many of my friends lives. I have had this game for around two years now..and I still play it regularly. Usually I buy a popular game and I am sick of it in a few days. There are over ten people in my sophmore class that have this game. They all love and none of us can stop playing it. EVEN AFTER TWO YEARS! The single player missions in this game do lack.. but this is more of a multiplayer game anyway. There are thousands of people on the easy to use battle.net to play against. Another cool thing is that you can make your own custom games that can do anything in the campaign editor. If I had to choose between Starcraft and ever other video game in the world...I would take Starcraft. I would have payed $200 for this game. MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE...GET NOW!....

1459 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'll admit right now that I hate all of the Simcities that came out, with the exception of the Super Nintendo version of the first Simcity. I'm more of an action person, not a sit-back-and-watch-my-city-grow person. Sure, Simcity 3000 is good for a while with it's catchy graphics and innovative approach to buidling a city, but a few hours later, you'll either want to fall asleep or put your fist through the monitor, depending upon whether the income for your city is positive or negative for each game year. I turned out to be one of the latter people. No matter how hard I tried, I could never get the income to come out positive. So, I did what any distraught and stuck person would do...go online for cheat codes! An hour later, I was bored. If you're a thinker, by all means try Simcity 3000 out. But, if you're a person that thinks actions speak louder than words, try Dungeon Keeper 2, a game like Simcity 3000, but not as complex (and more active!).
WCW vs The World was developed and published by Japanese companies, Asmik Ace Entertainment and The Man Breeze, which would probably explain why there are only 13 WCW wrestlers in the game, while the rest of the roster is fictional Japanese wrestlers. That's right folks. Only 13 WCW wrestlers, while the rest are made-up Japanese wrestlers that have never even remotely been heard of. It's kind of a waste of a game if you're not going to include all of the WCW roster and have a bunch of created wrestlers take up space.
3689 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast is a great game machine. I have been happier with this console than I ever expected. If you are dying to get a Playstation 2 but weren't fortunate enough to pre-order one 9 months ago, definitely give the Dreamcast a try! You won't be sorry.
Finally, lets talk movie aspects: story and atmosphere. Both: great. The story is rather unique, twisty, and sometimes powerful. Strangely, I felt a lot of emotion from Annette Birkin most of all (the zombie creator's wife); I could feel the love she held for her dead husband (who didn't necessarily mean to kill thousands of people), and as I played over and over, I went from hating her to actually feeling really bad for her. Also, one particular character dies in two different ways (the two scenarios), and both scenes are very strong and movie worthy. Both scenes feature great music, and she dies in a different way, with the drama being delivered to you in different ways (you have to see it to understand, I can't explain well enough myself).
Once you've regained all 6 Golden Coins, it's time to face Mario's nemesis at last! But it is NOT Bowser -- no, he has a brand new arch rival to deal with -- Wario!! :( And he is no pushover either...still, after you manage to beat him and view the game ending, he'll make a return to his OWN platform series on Game Boy Color. Wario also makes other appearances on several titles/consoles: "Wario Land -- Super Mario Land 3"; "Wario Land 2"; "Wario Land 3"; "Wario Blast featuring Bomberman"; "Wario World"; "Wario Land: Shake It!"; and finally, 7 of the 8 entire Super Mario Kart series that has been released. (He doesn't appear on the 1992 Super NES installment.)

6147 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Take 'Conflict: Freespace', polish up the already-gorgeous graphics, and you have 'Freespace 2'. Essentially a re-run of the original, this adds new ships, new weapons, at least one outstanding graphical effect (capital ships now attack each other with 'beam weapons' - giant shafts of light that cut through ships like a hot knife through butter), and some new cut-scenes, all wrapped up in a sturdy cardboard box. At the risk of souding boring, if you liked the original, you'll like this, as it's more of the same - the controls and interface are identical, and it's just as derivative of 'X-Wing' and 'Wing Commander' as it ever was, with an emphasis on fast action and spectacular effects. It has absolutely no depth, and very little replay value (the missions are often tightly-scripted, and replaying them is often quite dull, as you know exactly what's about to happen), but it's the best combat flight simulator on the market. One tip - try and play the original first, as this game doesn't usher you into the flow of play gradually, it drops you right in the thick of things from the first mission.
9115 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Console arrived very fast and was well packaged. I tested the console and it started up even though it was dusty and a little dirty. I disassembled and cleaned the console. It now looks and runs like new. It came with a power adapter and AV cable. The expansion pak was installed and is an original one.
Graphics: Often-criticized for having "Popeye" arms, the characters now look completely realistic and proportioned evenly. The world itself however looks kind of drab as there isn't a lot of locations that make you go "holy ****!", Esthar being the exception. But where the game shines is the FMV's which have an even more movie-like quality in its direction and look than VII's. While the change from pre-rendered to the FMV's is obvious now, it helps make the transitions more seamless.
6257 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great!
The Bad- The game itself is flawless, but you may get hooked, spend full time on it, and pull your hair for some sections. For long sesssions, take a break within a few hours, drink some coffee, and listen to Beatles music to clear your head.(Insert Sitcom-like laughtrack.)
The graphics aren't quite as good as the original arcade, but are commendable. There is also quite a bit of substance beneath the flash; you can get lucky and pull off cool-looking combos through button mashing, but skilled players have a definite advantage over the rookies. If you like 2D fighters, this is a nice alternative to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Also try the N64 sequel.
9032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I rented Starcraft 64 for my computer since my Starcraft CD was lost and I had a craving for some good ol' Starcraft. I was expecting a lame console version of an awesome computer game with many setbacks, but what the hell, I tried it out anyway. I was surprised a lot by how similar it really is to the PC version. The controls are a little complicated to learn but if you played the PC version you shouldn't have a problem. This is the best RTS ever made for the PC, so I'd still have to highly reccomend getting the PC version instead of the console version if possible. Great job Blizzard, I never thought a PC game could still be that great on a console platform.

The cartridge came in excellent condition and works fine. I don't know how the previous owner didn't rub out the sticker art even a little!
1299 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's not just nostalgic that makes this game good. It still holds up with120 stars to find and defeat the evil bowser it is one heck of a journey. One of the best platforms still to this day.

1573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nowadays, blowing zombies up is as commonplace as a 2D fighter that houses a character that can throw a fireball. From the "House Of The Dead" series to "Silent Hill", everyone has ripped off Capcom's masterpiece. The story starts off in a city us hardcore gamers will all know, Raccoon City. On a hill in an out-of-the-way area lies a mansion that holds a deadly secret. Down in Raccoon City, the community has had violent attacks by zombies that are bumpig off the townspeople. The R.P.D. send out their S.T.A.R.S. unit to find out what's up with this mansion and it's 'monsters'. Both the Alpha and Omega teams shall never be the same....... What you encounter through this tale of death is nothing short of terror perfetion. From your first encounter with dogs, to your first boss, to your return to the mansion only to find your zombie pals have been replaced with gremlins from hell called hunters; this is horror-gaming nirvana. Your characters are Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. You get to pick which character you lead (or lead you) down your path of hell. Jill is the easier one to use, while Chris is the harder one. For example, Jill starts off with a pistol, while Chris starts off with the forever dreaded knife. Basically their stories are the same with some different twists thrown in here and there. For example, Jill's sidekick is Barry, while Chris gets Rebecca. Throughout your journey, you pick up on clues as to what's going on. Such as diary entries. You come across the mansion twice, a backhouse, a garden, an underground passage way, and an underground laboratory throughout your story. All the while you hear the name of a corporation (one that will haunt you throughout the series) known as Umbrella. The game isn't hard, but it isn't easy either. Worrying about ammo and herbs is always the number one priority. Playing through the game to see what's ahead (you know, horse around), then go out for real and work your way through the story is the biggest tip I can give. And always save (just don't over do the ink ribbons, there's only so many). The graphics were breathtaking then and still hold up today. The control is difficult for some to get used to, but I never had a problem with it. The sound is also amazing, but quite important. Usually when I play games, I put on my headphones (Nine Inch Nails for me) and play away. Unfortunately, I can't do this. You need the sound to hear what's going on, whether it's zombies that are lurking around a corner you can't see, or something following you, you have to listen. This adds to the gaming element immensely. It'll often scare you, but that's the point, adding a new gaming dimension. One of fear. My only problem with the game, is the story of who originally owned the mansion. ... Ultimately, Capcom scratched all that. And it detracts from it all as the story behind the mansion has too many holes. In the end though, this was a classic video game. Not the best Resident Evil, but mandatory if you intend to play them all as the story is missing a lot if you pick up on the series when it's already told so much. It's graphic, it's bloody, it's epic, it's scary and it's an experience you won't soon forget. Just don't play with the lights off, you'll never sleep again.
game selection 7/10, 386 games is nowhere near colse as the PS1, but alot of 3D games that you loved on the SNES come on here! mario, zelda, FZero, Metroid, DOOM 64 are all on here!
If you don't love this game, you're not a gamer. (Either that or you're just a twitch gamer, which is allmost as bad. :-)
6050 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Pros:
The game is VERY linear, meaning FEW puzzles and you'll always be able to find your way. FEW people dislike a game like that, bt I love it. I wanna play the game not run in circles for hours on the same level trying to find the trick lever that opens the door.
Overall-Still all in all I just love this game
8. Temple Of Punu
The Bad News: Get back to us when they make Quake IV
Much pleased with purchase for a gift.
Oddly, the stealthy missions, the 'Thief'-esque moments where you must avoid being detected at all costs, are the best of the lot - with the emphasis on solitary skill and sneakery, they're ultra-tense affairs. Another good thing is the 'lone wolf' mode, in which, 'Die Hard'-style, you tackle thirty terrorists in a location solo.
FINAL RATING: 5/5
The down points, for me at least, was that my main guy Cinder is gone. But vast improvements to the returning cast highly makes up for that. Check out KI GOLD!
Yeah the graphics may be outdated and the characters may be blocky looking but that is no reason not to play this game. The story is great and kept me interested all the way to the end. If you like playing Final Fantasy but haven't tried any of the older ones, this is a great place to start. It's a stand alone game and has nothing to do with the other ones ( even though it is the seventh game). I love it and still plan on beating it at least once a year for as long as I can.
Story
Especially if you're going after those medals on every mission.
Don't have an N64? Then buy one to play this game!
Don't get to excited because there is no swearing by players just comments from player to player that are mean after they make a tackle or make a nice catch or something.
BAD:
- The Cyber ninja is a playable character, if only for a few missions
9622 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game by any standards is violent. But that's about all that I can say. Sure you can hit a guy in any of the 29 anatomical hit areas programmed into the game. Sure, it's fun to watch a guy holding a stub of his foot after you blew it away with a shotgun. But how many of these images would you really like to see for the next 4 hours until you finally realize this is just what this game was all about. Nothing else. Graphics: Nice OpenGL. Might cause some problems with GeForce 256 cards. Interface: in game save. easy to use multiplayer options. Gameplay: regular shoot-em up. very formulaic: shoot, blood, run. Do this for 4 hours and you'll finish the game. Weapons ballistics are not that real. Believe me... I know. AI: can be intimidating sometimes. Look before you walk into any area. Story: weak, bad guy wants to blow up world. Overall: You'll get tired of this game. If you want a good multiplayer experience though, get this game.
322 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Cheap and quality product. Almost doubled my controller wire so now I can sit far away from the TV. Doesn't seem to add any noticible lag or such.
The visuals are from first person perspective much like Myst and Riven, with video of various characters (CGI and live action) interspersed throughout. It's a 2 CD game with one Cd devoted to being above ground and the other below. As an added bonus, you can also play ZGI in multiplayer. As far as I know this is the only multiplayer first person adventure game in existance.
The CONS: Like I said before, it's a HARD game and will turn off some players if they are going through it the first time. Some players might also be turned off by the cutesy graphics and automatically dismiss it which is a shame because it is such a great game, it adds charm to the whole package.
Zelda OCT molds the "Zelda Story" into a fantastic tale that will take a least a few months to beat for your first time. The game's puzzles become progressively more difficult, culminating in the notoriously challenging dungeon - the Water Temple. The story combines several races (Hylians, Kokiri, Gerudo, Gorons, and Zora) seamlessly into one large kingdom. The enemies are varied and interesting as well. The Fantasy-Adventure story line is complex and intricate, complete with twists and shocks, time-travel, and genocide. Time affects the characters, and you see that not everyone loses when evil prevails. The story details are amazingly deep, to the point that pictures on someone's wall and the clothes they wear can fill in some back story of that character. I loved the detail and enjoyed filling in little pieces of the "back story" by talking to the NPCs and looking through the first person scope at their tattoos and clothes. The main story is also amazing, with the typical epic sword-clashing adventure ingeniously employed in the Zelda OCT universe. It's truly a master's greatest work.
4428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I bought a Playstation I had the following impressions of it: long load times (five minutes or so)and major overheating problems. But now that I own a PSX, I know better. Load times are only a couple of seconds or at the most under a minute. As for the overheating, I guess it depends where you place your playstation. Mine's atop a cardboard box away from the satellite receiver and VCR. On the game Metal Gear Solid a CD icon is supposed to appear if the system is overheating or something, but that has never happened to me once. I normally play a game for 1 to 3 hours. One thing that I did notice, though, is that if you play a game for several hours, then take the game out and put another one in, you have to let the system cool down for an hour or two, otherwise you'll just get the main menu. The Playstation has a great library of games. For RPG gamers there's the Final Fantasy series with its GREAT graphics. The FMV sequences look like they came out of a big-budget special-effects-laden movie. N64 doesn't have such graphics, not that I've seen. For action gamers there's Metal Gear Solid, Vagrant Story, etc. TONS of great games. Remember, its not the graphics that make a system worth having, it's the games. I don't have the analog controller, but I love the regular controllers. They fit nice in your hand and ALL buttons are easily accessible, unlike N64. There are only two controller ports, but I seldomly play two player games and never play four player games. The system itself is very durable--I've taken it to college several times and hooked it up to the TV during my three-hour lunch. Overall a great system, but if mine broke sometime soon I'd probably save my money and wait for a PS2, although I would test the system first--see how it runs your old games--before making the big buy.
The game opens with you returning to D'Ni again after transporting through the linking book in the Library on Myst Island. The ever-knowledgeable Atrus, played by Rand Miller, thanks you for coming back and says he needs your help. And from then the race is on: You need to find his wife Catherine who is trapped in a prison somewhere on the Riven Age. Her captor turns out to be Atrus' father, Gehn, a madman who wants to destroy his own son. Along the way, you encounter people, puzzles, awesome creatures (like Sunners and Wahrks), and dazzling special effects.
6104 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product was of course very helpful since the PS2 I bought didn't come with the controllers. It functions very well and seems to be in pristine condition.
Story 10/10
Games like this one pave the way for incredible RPG's to follow.. This is a true gem!
Overall: I would rate this in the top ten most fun games on any console/computer. If you own Theme Park World like me, You will be amazed on the huge gap between them! GET IT!
.
7107 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game and everyone knows it. Why mess with one of the classics. It is great for a retro night or if you just like the retro games!
And the story sucked.
5944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diablo 1 was fun and addicting. However, with duping (the ability to duplicate any item in-game), everything got just way too easy. You could beat Diablo without much of a thought as everybody had the most powerful of weapons.
4363 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age Of Empires is a classic strategy game. It was one of the first I'd ever bought, and I got hooked. I have played every possible scenario and made a hundred scenarios myself.
Handling this game is pretty easy, with all the building of roller coasters, stalls, etc. I have a lot of strategies in this game like, prioritizing to build an information kiosk first so that if it rains, you could raise money by increasing the prices of umbrellas. Anyway, parents should buy this game for their children 'coz it doesn't promote violence, enhances strategies & experience the fun of playing it
Recommended.
1822 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked perfectly
110 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Bad product not working with my xbox and PC
- There is a remake of this game for the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Game Cube both of which don't really upgrade anything
4333 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 item came on time in excellent condition great service hope I can do business with this seller again highly recommended!
I wish Brian Reynolds would sell one of his kids to get the A.C. copyright and remake this gem.....
If any of you old dogs out there are still using 98 or 95 pick up a piece of gaming history and get a copy of this package.
Everything about this game is legendary, the music, the characters , the story, it just leaves you wanting more. This is what fantasy adventure is about, standing the test of time and continuing to teach us all something great.
Beetle Adventure Racing is a great racer that while can be quite difficult at times, can be fun and is a good choice for those who like the San Francisco Rush and Cruis'n games. It's worth your money so those of you who like racing games and looking for a game to play with others, grab yourself a copy.
The weakest person I would say is Taki or another chinese girl. THe are fast and efficient but you would find yourself trying to puch and pull. They aren't that strong. To make up their strengh, they have quick speeds and fast attacks.
6691 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game was in good shape, and it made my son very happy, when he received it. It was over all a good experience. Thank You
2781 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really wanted to like Hexen 64. It's like a fantasy version of doom, and the storyline and atmosphere are damn good. You can play as a weak but magically powerful mage, a strong but magically weak fighter, or a balanced cleric. But this game has waaayyy too many problems. I didnt' even experience the jumping bug in the editorial review either. The first couple levels, i was hooked. It reminded me of warcraft II: trying to save your homeland from impending doom by ringing the bell and such was awesome. And the fact that the enemies teleport in only adds to the gameplay, as you never know whether you've cleared an area or not. The items are cool, and the mazelike and puzzle aspects woulld've been where it really shined, had they been done right.
Mp5 Machine Gun
The graphics are so sharp looking and realistic, that maybe just a few could go on GameCube. (GCN)
- The game starts you (Jill) off with an assault rifle and 3 F.Aid sprays.
Graphics: 5/5 The colors really standed out with the houses, grassland, people etc!
The game contains a nice variety of weapons and plenty of secrets to unlock ( by speedrunning levels while fulfilling all objectives).
Of course, as the main influence makes clear, the player soon finds themselves battling with undead citizens (and worse) throughout the course of the game. Those who like to kill everything in sight may find the going a little tough, as the game rewards the player for knowing what to kill and when. A zombie in a wide, open area does not require immediate shooting, but a licker in a confined space should be put down as quickly and quietly as possible. Knowing the difference can literally decide whether you complete this game or not. But if one does get into a situation where they are low on ammunition and are not sure where they are meant to go, they can simply keep exploring until a solution presents itself. Such is the quality of the artwork on offer that it takes a while for this to become boring.
9321 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There have been so many on-rails shooters (and off-rails shooters) since the original Panzer Dragoon, that sometimes it seems like a forgotten relic (ironic given the setting of the game). But like those ancient weapons of Panzer Dragoon lore, the original is one powerful old piece of technology.
5688 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am an avid video gamer, I've been playing video games since the early 80's. My love of RPGs came when the first Final Fantasy was released on the orignal nintendo system. Since then, I have been hooked to the series, buying consoles for the games (PSone/FF7, PS2/FF10, PS3/FF13), not the other way around. After saying that, my all time favorite would have to be FF8. The graphics are horrible in comparision to todays games, but the game play makes up for it. Most RPGs have at least 20-40hrs of playing time, but with the FF series, I'm surprised if I spend less than 200+ hrs. I have played through the entire game over three times over my lifetime, and for me, the most enjoyable part about this game would have to be the side quests and the addictive card game! I am the type of person that has to have 100% completion before I move on to the next game, and was devastated when my six year old broke disk 4 of this game, hence the reason why I bought yet another copy. I was tickled pink to find this game had become a classic, with a classic price! Would've paid more money for the game but was ecstatic to only pay $14 for it!!
- 2 perspectives of story
1551 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It may be an old game, but i love it! There are different modes to play and multiplayer is very fun. Not many people like it because i beat them all the time but I don't know why i just love it!
I found the actual campaign a bit too difficult for me, with some missions seeming just plain impossible. It also takes a while to master each race (I like the protoss, but the Zerg are, in my opinion, the easiest to fight with) But it is still fun and I really like some of the heroes, especially the Protoss heroes.
Now that we have got the weapons out of our hands, I can now talk about tactics. First of I want to mention that the Artificial Intelience is incredibly smart, so you won't be dealing with idiots that don't even run away from grenades. No way, if you throw a grenade at the enemy he will either pick it up and throw it back at you or he will kick it away. In terms of gameplay this game can truly be compared to GoldenEye. It's AI is far more intelligent than that found in GoldenEye, MOH features a more extensive line of weapons than GoldenEye and the game (MOH) has a better balance. Medal of Honor actually features a good story line, and the cameras aren't bouncy. There is more to be said, but in the end Medal of Honor leaves Nintendo's GoldenEye in the dust.
The CONS: It's a little bit more challenging than the first game but not by much. It's still a fun game that you wanted to play again and again.
1.) Enemy designs and graphics
Breathe air,
4. Mountain tops(89%)A good, well hidden level.
Compared with the sadly-missed Neo Geo Pocket the screen is slightly less vibrant, and sorely needs a backlight (although adding one would decimate the battery life). Technically, although the NGP was 16-bit, there doesn't seem to be much difference, and in any case it's the quality of the games that's important. This is the Game Boy's strength - it has an enormous, ever-growing range of games, some of which is excellent (the third 'Wario' game, for example, or 'R-Type DX', a faithful recreation of 'R-Type' on a tiny screen). There are some more esoteric applications, too, including a camera, a sonar (really), productivity software, and a sequencer (as used on Alec Empire's 'We Punk Einheit').
-Fun to do 100% runs
- the gamplay is on the simple side
This game is a masterpiece, everything about it is amazing and it's even better then the remake(I thought it was)
Graphics 13/10 OMG!!!!! The best I have seen on SNES!
6. Finally, the zones are not as expansive. It just puts you on one path and makes you go forward. The advantage with this is that you can never get lost, but it loses that "go wherever you want to" charm.
Levels are layed out nice. With this point, alot of people complain about the zombie levels. Is that because its not realistic? Not a setting that a theif would normally be put into? Or the fact that they scare the ... out of you. I will never forget the first time I played the second level and saw a corpes. I bent down to inspect it. Well what do you know It started getting up and let out a grotesque moan.
1082 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played many many many video games in my life, and this game is literally the best game that I have ever played in my life. It's nice and long (like all the other Zelda games) It has a perfect level of difficulty, there are so many different weapons in the game, there are so many memorable dungeons and fields in the game, well, I could go on forever. I wish I could give this game a higher score than the measly 5-star rating Amazon.com forces me to give but alas, i cannot. If you own a Nintendo 64, BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW! If you don't own an N64, you can still buy it for gamecube, it's the same exact game. I own it for both N64 and Gamecube. If you like this game, then buy the sequel too! It's called Majora's mask. I'm telling you, you will definetly not regret buying this game if you are a die-hard Zelda fan... Or even if you are not a die-hard Zelda fan. Although I don't know who would be reading a review of a game that was made in nineteen ninety-something, in 2007... IF YOU ARE READING THIS, BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW, AND IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE MISSING OUT!! Everything about this game is perfect!... That is all.
-Plenty of plot-twists.
As for the actual rumbling, it works pretty awesomely. I've tried it out on Perfect Dark and Madden 99 so far. It's got high and low settings. True N64 players use high for maximum vibration! :)
in which your party plans their next objectives, and more importantly where
3. The storyline itself is wonderful, based on the real-life mystery of Rennes le Chateau (read Holy Blood, Holy Grail for its history, or The Big Book of Conspiracies for a nice, short overview). Even without the puzzles, it is a fun, entertaining and educational interactive movie experience. (SPOILER WARNING: SKIP TO NEXT PARAGRAPH) Unfortunately, towards the end, when she strays from the known history of the Bloodline it gets a bit silly (it was not necessary for her to rewrite the "origin" of Jesus and create a silly one for the vampires in order to get the vampires into the story: they could have just found out about the Bloodline like anyone else and gone after the child for the special qualities of its blood).
So, in Disc 2 or Simulation mode, you have to race for money. Get first place at all the races to get bigger amount of credits. I would recommend as your first car, Toyota Supra '94 or '93 version. Why? It's fast not like the other cars. Then move on with the next cars. As you progress, after some races, you'll be awarded with new car/s.
Pros
Also, what's up with all the little baby games? Grab a baby penguin and slide down a snowy hill? Chase the bunny so he doesn't hop away? These are not suitable for anyone who recalls the challenging portions of previous 2D gaming such as Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World (and yes, these bunny grabbing missions are flaws in Super Mario Galaxy too, in case you think I'm intentionally favoring Super Mario Galaxy for no reason). At least the cannon-shooting parts are cool. It's fun figuring out where to launch Mario so he can land safely on upper grounds.
Gameplay D
online game award. Then Blue Shift comes out, gets good scores.
Final Fantasy 6 (in my opinion, perfectly accompanies this game)
House of the Dead 2 is not content to force you down the same path every time you play. Depending on how many civillians you rescue, and which ones, you will be sent in different directions within the same stage and the bosses will vary their attacks accordingly, so it's impossible to see everything the game has to offer in one session. Of course, the civillians are typical helpless weenies, begging pathetically for mercy and cowering in corners (one guy even dies from a single kick to the rib cage if you don't save him in time...WIMP!). Their voice acting, as well as that of the heroes and villains, is unsurprisingly weak, but the B-movie quality sort of adds to the feel of the game.
9212 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Epic game, works. I love it.
How hard is the Game Play?

With this installed, the black square will cover up the silver boarder, and make your tablet look just like when it was fresh out of the box!
1995 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It can be said that this game is easy, maybe the graphics is terrible but at the time i loved this game i've not touch this game in years however i can say i really enjoyed this all time classic.
Graphics
Although I love this game, I would like to see a remake of the game in the vein of Resident Evil for GameCube. Using similar Technology Square could easily upgrade the graphics; sound and game play to put this game on par with the recent Final Fantasy X. If they really wanted to, it could look as good as Resident Evil if they made it for the GameCube. Earlier some websites reported that remakes of VII, VIII, and IX for the next Gen consoles were being considered. Being that FF VIII could have been much better, even though it was great, its fun to imagine how it could be on next gen consoles if square realizes the true potential of this epic masterpiece.
Basically, in this game, you build your own theme park. There's tons of scenerios (especially if you buy the expansion pack) in which you make a part with different rides and things at your disposal on a different landscape. There are a lot of levels that are all different, and all have their own theme.
1515 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OMG!!! Seen it, wiped my eyes to see if it was real then of course bought and i have no regrets! Highly love south park and this game is amazing and it came to me mint condition and i was happy!!
Sometimes the informate is right there in your face you just got to look that's all.
Besides a bit of overall darkness, a lengthy storyline and sometimes unfair situations regarding aiming and shooting, I have no other problems with the game. These are really minor problems and it's easy for me to look past them. A game that I SHOULD have given more attention to before attempting to give a final verdict. Metal Gear Solid is a classic game. It just took me a while to see that.
Music - Even better than the graphics. Listen to it in the towns!
6430 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overall, this game rocks. THe gameplay is superb and the graphics rock thte house. THe one thing of the game that I do not like is that You cannot build a lot of buildings. It can be very annoying if you want to build a big city. This game is a little like the game Startcraft if anyone of you played that. AOE2's excitement isn't as high as other games but in order to win all the campains you need to have a strategy. Wheter getting to a place or other taks, all of them need planning. If you want to defeat another town without any cheasts, You have to creat a certain amount of villagers to work for you. THis game is really good but why don't they have buildings from Age of Empires 1 like the goverment center? Well here is a overview of what I think of this game
2) There is an Easy mode, which strangely is not in MvC part 2. The Easy mode allows you to use Chun Li's lighting fast kicks.
Perhaps the greatest strength of the Dreamcast was along its undoing. Sega wanted to rule the game market of the future. They invested a fortune in making the Dreamcast online capable. Every dreamcast came with a built-in modem (take that Nintendo adn Sony). Out of the box, the Dreamcast was internet ready. And the games that were released over the life of the Dreamcast...man. But like I said, original games are slow to be accepted, and more than that, a lot of the games that were released needed to have the bugs ironed out and the gameplay adjusted. Sega was just in too much of a hurry. And as many undoubted know, the console world STILL doesn't seem to be ready to embrace the internet (I have NEVER seen anyone play a console game online).
4208 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have no words to describe this game, it's just the best strategy game ever made!
The controls are very hard to get used to.
Cons
Next, the story is a little complex, even diluted at times, but still brilliant and engaging, assuming that you have the desire to embrace it. The discussions are rarely so lengthy that it causes you to lose interest.
All the codes and moves where the same, and I like the fact that the PRACTIVE mode allows you to press pause and choose a list that displays all the characters moves, fatalitys and weapens etc... tho, i'm really kind of sick of the combinations of move lifts, which makes it great to just go into the options, highlight "continues #" and hold down block+run untill it takes you to the hidden menu where you can turn on auto fatalitys and stuff.
665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Words really can describe how wonderful this game is. The first thing you will notice is the incredible graphics (note: a 3D card is not required!.) Everything is drawn in great detail right down to character traits and facial expressions (who would have thought a fleshless person would be so good with expressions.) The story is also very entertaining and added with the graphics, it makes this a very absorbing adventure. This is one of the few games that I can't say anything negative about. This is a must have!
For years I was never able to find the game to buy, and when an old Blockbuster Video store went out of business in the mid-late 90's I was able to finally get this game to keep for myself. I loved it and all these years later still have the game with my old Sega Genesis System.
Final Recommend? Great Game, if you are a HardCore Gamer, you will love it. If your the tame game player, probably not the cup of tea your looking for.
9156 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
For those of you who haven't played for a while, the Battle Chest is a good way to relive the memories of those happy days of bygone years. It works on Win 7, but note that the mac version of the game is not compatible with OS X Lion (Lion dropped Rosetta which allowed programs from the PowerPC days to run on Intel-based macs).
161 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 the graphics aren't very good and the ship to shore radio is so distorted and accented that it is impossible to understand what is being said. The game can be fun, but if you are looking for an ocean going version of microsoft flight simulator this isn't it. It's not a lousy game, nor is it a great game, it's just okay.
8401 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now I absolutely LOVE Earthworm Jim no matter which version you speak of, but as far as I know, nobody has actually taken the time to explain the *many* differences between the Genesis and Super NES version. Let me do this right now. Just a quick note- even though I may throw out some criticisms from time to time, this by no means diminishes the quality of this version. Earthworm Jim is awesome no matter WHICH edition you pick up!
For those who didn't grow up back then, it can be easily to forget just revolutionary "Super Mario 64" truly was. Just eleven years prior to the 1996 induction of "Super Mario 64" to popular consciousness, we were playing such early titles as the original "Super Mario Bros." (the best launch game for the NES hands down), "Excitebike", the absolutely dreadful "Ten Yard Fight", etc. From 1985 to 1994 we saw some of the greatest games ever made in glorius 8-Bit, but especially the early NES titles are so far removed from current gaming that there will be those out there who find them hard to play. Look at some of the old NES ads on Youtube or game magazines from the 1980s and 1990s.
The graphics and sound are very good but certainly not revolutionary. The bottomline, though, is that Nox is extremely fun to play. In the end, isn't that the ultimate purpose of a game?
Despite the above problems, Dino Crisis is STILL a pretty fun game because the dinosaurs are animated beautifully and the graphics as a whole are really good for 1999 as well. The actual gameplay has some problems mentioned above, but there's also plenty of action to be found. Also, the game is pretty scary and intense, and the dinosaurs are simply wonderful looking and it's interesting the way they can attack you because they attack differently each time. Sometimes they will bite at your arm, other times they will pick you up from off the ground, and more.
2058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought this game was actually very good for a racing game on the N64 so so early of a release. This is before alot of the other much better racing games came out and I was suprised to find such a fun game.
3512 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you owned a playstation 1 you were probably on the band wagon for playstation 2 from the get go. I have owned just about every game system ever released. The dreamcast was one of those moments in video games where gamers got a gamers system. The opinions all around are wonderful for it. The games at launch for this system were by far the best out of any launch ive ever seen. I think it has a certain nostalgia to it. When I found out they were stopping production for it i was a little heart broken. It was the first time i was gonna stick with one system because i was so happy with it. Them pulling it out early will make it stand out as one of those times in my life where something as great as this system failed to early and was successful to late in its afterlife. So yes i hope if you read this and want some great gaming moments you buy this system. You will not regret it. I never did and never will.
The learning curve isn't too bad,The first boss can be a bit hard,but after that its smooth sailing till near the end.
- Great way to hone your Metal Gear Solid gameplay
So if you want a wide variety driving game where you can get out of a car and get in another and more mission variety reserve GTA3.
8443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
Good luck!
In juxtaposition against Baldur's Gate, Nox is a lot more fast pace, requiring infinitely more mouseclicks and less thought in combat. Agility of fingers--not strategy--rules the day here. In that respect the game is similar to Diablo, but with the added dimension of more player movement option like jumping (ie a first person shooter).
I would have loved if Hitman had been as open as Skyrim. Overall Dishonored's gameplay is a far superior hitman style gaming experience. But I wish they had had Bioshock Infinite's breathtaking visuals in that particular game.
3329 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent!
7235 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 As a fan of the X-Com games and Shadow Watch, I was really looking forward to this game. Based on the Editorial Reviews on this site, I was expecting somethiing in a similar vein.
9291 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game got to me in flawless condition! And I mean FLAWLESS!!! Not a single imperfection detectable with the human eye!!! Bonus, it came in on of those little clear plastic gameboy cases
5407 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although this is a great game, that's extremely fun, you can only play it once. The graphics are ahead of their time (not now, but they were), and when you use a lightgun it's a party. But, you end up doing the same thing over and over again. It's like you die, then just play again, so you can die again then repeat. It sort of gets old after a while. If you can get it for a bargain I'd say go for it, but if it's too expensive don't get it, because the time you'll play it won't be worth the money.
Rayman also offers deep gameplay and many moves, such as using his surfer hair for flying like a helicopter and his fist for powering up, grabbing nearby items, and firing out at enimies. He uses climbing and crawling technequies to acheive unexplored parts of any level, and can run and shrink to escape faster from threats.
Characters (score 8/10): Characters are likeable and amusing. They do have a decent amount of depth to their personalities, so you really come to be attached to them. Because the story is so basic, the likeable characters are really what keep this game afloat. Also, some of the NPCs are downright hilarious!
I will just sum up what I love about this game, even in today's market of amazing games (and a lot of terrible games or super easy games also). First, the game was insanely easy. I died once on my first play through (against Lost Number before I realized what to do), and I don't believe I saw a gameover screen since. But the ease of the game is not an issue. There is still some challenge, and part of what makes the game enjoyable is the lack of 'cheap' enemies. But once you get the hang of things, it is super easy.
1838 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the second best Crash. The best is Crash 2. The complaints what people will go on are being able to move backwards and forwards like a 2D game, Well it was back in 1995 or so. The game isn't hard until 65% through.
9744 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Years ago in High School I had a massive migraine headache that lasted for five days. I stayed home from school and ended up going to the emergency room. But in those five days I had the chance to play the hell out of this game. The concept is a lot like the Terminator and the Matrix. It's a distopian future wasteland where the machines have taken over the world, humans have retreated underground and there's very little atmosphere left on the surface to support human life.
882 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit something, I love the way this game looks! It is spectacular in the graphics sense, but the story just left me out to dry. The orginal command and conquer storyline was way better. The GDI missions are a joke in this game and I have to say it...NOD RULEZ! The NOD missions are very fun to look at and play especially the evil HAL computer that talks to you in the cool voice. The game play units are completely unbalanced! On GDI side, all you have to do is amass a huge army of Tank Mechs and you can destroy any base no matter how fortified it is. On the NOD side, amass a huge army of 30 mobile artillery and nobody can stand in your way. The game is worth buying to see how it looks, but the gameplay is horrible and some of the missions are close to impossible which may frustrate some novice players. Ok Westwood you have provided the interface, now quit slacking and give us a good story!
This is still in my opinion the best Sonic Game ever but it was ruined by some flaws...Great game overall though..
i do remember some type of game disc that came out sometime in mid to late 99 or 2000 that you can use to play your playstation one games on the dreamcast. the man that created the disc had, i think, just one game and that was gran turismo 2. i had that disc and remember the graphics on gt2 and how so much more improved they were.
This is a 10-year old game mind you - yet, it retains its freshness as any true work of art. THIS IS HOW COMPUTER GAMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN - and not the pathetic cookie-cutter products of mega-corporations working in-tandem with GX-card companies...
Fun: 9/10. A great game from beginning to end. Get the jiggys, move on. Get the notes, move on. That simple? No. This game is challenging and is for all ages, even if it does have a kiddy approach. The game lasts maybe 40 hours or so depending on how fast you get through the game. Great characters, great level design, and fantastic music makes this a must buy. This is one of the best games on the N64, and I.M.O., the best adventure game. Pick this game up now; it is better than its sequel and the Game Boy Advanced ones, even if all three are fantastic. Buy this game!!
If you're not familar with any of the later dungeons, say level 7 or 8, you will definitely get lost and very frustrated.
Oh yeah, if you wanna play like sorceress, there is unrecoverable on second stage (after beating six quests) unless you have magic that takes out 25 percent of enemy's energy. Just loved barbarian character.
The ability to move from one crew position to the next easily is not realistic, but it is great fun! One thing I appreciate is the very thing that bugs many; the fact that
Considering the price that this game carries right now, the sheer technical impressiveness that it shows, and the great history of the series, it's probably fair to say that any Playstation gamer should add this to their collection. At twenty dollars, just the CG movies alone are worth the price of admission, and if you're willing to learn a new advancement system (the junction system, while it infringes upon the uniqueness of individual characters, is fun in its own right), you should find that the game itself is entertaining and enjoyable to play. While there may be some plot mistakes, in total, this game still has to be considered a smashing success, and a welcome addition to any gamer's library.
Nice selction of charaverts
- Battles can be long and pretty slow moving
7591 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Another blast from my past. No matter how far I got, I could never beat the game completely. So i figured i'd change that by pairing it up many years later with the game genie and play the game. Unfortunately, my copy of the game is so distorted from use and abuse, it can't be played. What little visual I have on screen is just a pixelated blob. Had the store I bought it from quality checked the item before they sold it online, then this would be a better review. But, since it cost less than a box of chicken nuggets, I didn't bother and threw it away.
4838 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great i love it brings back good memories playing this game its a classic great old school game to own
*Love the light sourcing effects that bring realism to the overall look that Quake II has
458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 all i can say is that this game is a classic, possibly the best game ever made for the playstation 1.
What else would you expect from an MK game?
4. This game is not 256 Mega Bytes. It is actually 256 Mega Bits, which is equal to 32 Mega Bytes. So sorry the game isn't nearly the size of a 650/700 Mega Byte CD-ROM.
However what truely stands out is the music. Never has a Castlevania game had such outstanding music than this. It is amazing and a wonder to own.
With the release of Diddy Kong Racing, it took the racing game to another level. Unlike Mario Kart 64, there are three different kinds of vehicles to really choose from, instead of one: Kart-style, like Mario Kart 64, Airplane, and Hovercraft. It makes it a little different to rangle with, when in some courses you can race with only one of those vehicles, and on others, you can choose to race two or three vehicles. The game features the story of Diddy Kong and his friends trying to save Timber's Island from the clutches of Wizpig, a vile hog that holds control of the island. There are so many courses that are in the way that you must unlock in the story adventure mode. Still, there are also some other feels and challenges along the way, including unlocking challenges and two hidden charcters: Drumstick and T.T. and some very special codes that you can access in the tracks Mode.
Fantastic achievement by Valve!
986 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The movie "Goldeneye" was a box-office hit and now it comes to nintendo. Every wonder how James Bond found Natalia, how Xenia died, or how Bond killed Trevalyn. Now you get to do it yourself. You travel to Siberia to recover blueprints, go on a battleship to save hostages, launch a space shuttle, and shoot all the bad guys you want with over 30 weapons from Gernades, lasers, all handguns, machine guns and rocket and nuclear bombs. Try out the game to see what you would do if you were Bond. Here's your chance to be 007.
The dungeons is where this game severely misses the mark to such an extent that it's almost unfathomable to believe Nintendo thought releasing the game the way it is was enough to be sufficient. Again, where ARE all the enemies? Why am I roaming through temple rooms that are way too big for their own good? Are high ceilings and deep pits supposed to justify the lack of enemies because the tradeoff is that it feels like I'm really inside a castle now? Give me a break guys. The rooms are so big they basically have no life whatever. Instead of being loaded with enemies around every corner, these castles are alarmingly empty, lifeless and unacceptable. But... that's apparently okay, because Ocarina of Time is the first 3D Zelda game so its legendary influence and innovation makes it leaps and bounds above the sequels, right? Not in my world baby. The games following Ocarina of Time perfected the Zelda formula way more effectively. Wind Waker and Skyward Sword leaves this dated mess in the dust.
- A futuristic racing game, with hovering cars
Since this version of the game was released after the SNES game, there are some differences that were put in the game.
Everything is great, characters/voice acting, music, intence stealth(if your new to stealth games), plot twists, boses and many more.
5 out of 5 stars....
7199 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well, it's just the background that's bad that's all. The color is runny not realy but if you play the game you know what I mean ok.
the game was released in '94, correct the same year as smetroid and equaly deserving a sequal. I wish vecotrman released a year or two later was as good. I only played vman on emulator but the similrities are there somewhere. I just remember die ing alot more because of infinite pits, which are few and far between in gunstar heroes.
Good as it is, StarCraft still has its share of problems. For starters, you can only select 12 units at a time. This ends up being fairly irritating, as more often then not, the player will have a large force but will be unable to select all his or her units, which can be a pain if you're in the middle of a large battle. The unit pathing isn't that great, either. The units in StarCraft can't take care of themselves very well. Total Annihilation's pathing is quite a lot better, and you can select more then 12 units at a time.
1997 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 People played this in the store for days on end even though most could not afford it for the N64. Star Fox was an amazing blast em up for the N64 that was visually stunning to watch.
Just make sure that the seller sends you the OFFICIAL Nintendo Brand Pak, and not some third-party knock off, and you'll be golden.
5778 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Final Fantasy 7 and 9 are wonderful examples of how an essentially linear game can be manipulated and changed into something epic and enthralling, thanks to excellent characterisation and plot. Final Fantasy 8 (and, oddly enough, FF 10) are wonderful examples of how to bore people silly while forcing them to sit through some nice-looking battles.
6796 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit I hadn't started watching wrestling too early, so I never really watched WWF-I only watch WWE. I don't even watch TNA, so I'm just a WWE person. For people who've played games like Street Fighter Series/Mortal Kombat Series/Streets of Rage Series/Tekken Series like me and have enjoyed them, I would recommend this game to you. It's not too entertaining, and it gets really boring after a few hours, you'll just want to leave it lying on your unused video game pile for a while before breaking it out again after a few months. Other then that, it's a good game, although not fit for me that much, more for the hardcore wrestling fan that doesn't really care about the quality...still a classic worth paying for, although it vaguely reminds me of a WWE Plug and Play game I have, and I bought it for around ten dollars, I got this for a cheaper price. =)
I loved it so much that i tried to find it in a market, i found a lot of n64 games but not mario 64. I just wanted to play it one last time to remember the good old days of n64 gaming. So i had to download a n64 emulator and play it, but its not the same to play with a keyboard than to play with the joystick. Anyway i could play the entire game and that made me happy.
The work she did for SMRPG was outstanding, I still have the Geno Woods song stuck in my head. Each melody was perfectly mastered, and each piece of music was so well done, you will humming these tunes for a long time. The music fits very well into the story line, it really pulls you into the game. I am very amazed with the music from this game.
Gamecube would later revamp the game with updated graphics, better voice acting, and many new thrilling surprises, but you just can't beat that feeling you got when you first popped in this game not knowing what to expect. This game has one of the greatest legacies, and is every bit deserving of all the accolades accumulated since.
Stay well away from this horrible game. As a beat-em-up it stinks. As a Spidey game it stinks. It just plain reeks overall.
You can use a variety of weapons from knives to swords and even grenades in your battles. You have super attacks, one directed which uses up your health no matter what and one that is indirect that only uses up health if you hit somebody. The 3rd game tweaks that to a probably more fair way of doing it, but I still like this one far and away better than either of the other two.
The DreamCast fit the bill, with a great price and game library right out of the local arcade.
4904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with my purchus will buy from again
2247 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I did not get anything from this product personally and I haven't enjoyed this one at all.
5696 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'll preface by saying that I'm a huge fan of RPGs and of the Final Fantasy series. Turn-based, action, Japanese or Western oriented RPGs - it makes no difference to me. A good game is a good game and I always try to completely experience a game before rendering judgment. That said, I first purchased Final Fantasy VIII shortly after it was released in 1999. However, for various reasons I never finished the game. Only recently did I decide to pick the game back up and finish what I had started so many years ago.
Sound D-
3904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Anyone who has ever seen Star Wars has always had 1 reaction: I wonder what it would be like to be a Jedi/Sith. Well now they have the chance to answer that question. Plus you get 2 games for the price of one! Who wouldn't like that deal? Jedi Knight takes you into the eyes of Kyle Katarn, a Jedi Knight. As you play through levels the challenges get harder and harder. You will need to hone your lightsaber practice in order to beat the game. Mysteries of the Sith picks up where Jedi Knight leaves off. This time the game takes you into the eyes of Mara Jade, a former imperial turned Jedi. Once again you will want to hone your lightsaber practice, because this time the challenges are harder(fighting a rancor for example.) These games are worth the money!
8227 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 By far Duke Nukem 3D is the best 3D action shooter I have ever seen. I rank it above all current 3D titles include Unreal Tournament and Quake III. Why? Because Duke Nukem has things you wouldn't expect to see in ordinary 3D Shooters. With all the action you experiences the game has many humorous refference and to top it all off Duke Talk.
The best part about this game, though, is the character development. Literally every time you play the game your character could be a little different, depending on the way you allocate skill points, of course. Basically, skill points enable you to pick what spells you want to develop. Since you won't get enough skill points to develop every spell you want to, you may have to pick which "core" spells you want to develop. This is why it is important to find out what spells are good before actually building up your character. Although you'd think that all spells should be equally good, well, they're not. For example, the level 30 Paladin skill (meaning you can't get it until your character is at level 30) Fist of the Heavens is just horrible. It does barely any damage to the harder enemies in the game, and it only attacks one enemy at a time. Trust me, in hell difficulty you need spells that affect more than one enemy at a time. Also, in order to get to the level 30 skills, you may need to put points into a prerequisite skill (or skills). This is where the strategy of the game comes in -- you need to know not only what skills are worth investing points into, but also if they're worth spending all the prerequisite points just to get them.
This game is a good game, but only if you're a fan of the TV show. Even though it would be fun if some people weren't, they'd still annoy everyone, complaining of "bad language" and "foul humor". Ignore them. If you're a fan, get this, or at least rent it. Later.
I did play Dino Crises 2 and it was okay. More of a shooter. Wished Capcom stayed with the survival horror element. They had a winner here.
Which brings me to another point - the storyline is great! They take an idea that has definitely been done before - you wake up with amnesia, uncertain of your past or present. Nine Princes of Amber is a famous story that does this very well. So you learn as you go, with the help of your amusing sidekick, the skull named Morte. Yes, your pal is a floating skull who follows you along :)
MK fans might or might not want this version for completion purposes (since it looks graphically like the arcade but removes all the violent content). Everyone else should jump to MKII, which really got the series started.
If you live in a rough and ready town on the military frontier, you may be near "forced labor". In a religious and cultural center you may have scribes and palaces with a population of "elites" served by the labor of a large population of workers and farmers.
-It may very well be one of the easiest Final Fantasy games in the series
The main point of the game is to use different moves using the Playstation controller to destroy your opponent.
1556 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Who in their right mind thought using up on the D-pad for accelerate was a good idea? Little things like this absolutely take all the fun out of the game. The vehicles move around like they're on a tightrope trying not to lose control and cornering and braking are deplorable and is a complete mess. Graphics hardly mean anything to me, but man does this game look harsh, probably the worst for the PS1, even for its time. This game hasn't aged well at all. It has almost put me off on trying the sequels, but I hear they get better. I tried, I really did, but it's way too short and the controller quirks along with the vehicle mechanics make this game almost a chore to play today.
7 or 8 years after its release... the genre defining Hack-and-Slash RPG. Still played by many. Addictive, epic, and fun.
4440 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was great back when games sucked. If Sierra remade this game and released it now (with added civilization rts properties) for each race (fire giants, wind giants, water people, earth dwarves, ect) it would hold it's own against all of it's current competitors.

Overall tediousness is a common aspect to Donkey Kong 64 since you're expected to grab *every single coin and banana* in order to fully complete the game, and the childish tone with all the musical instrument playing and colored balloon popping/bananas not to mention some really basic vine-swinging mini games... all these features make it nearly impossible not to criticize for those who remember Donkey Kong from the 80's and the way the games in the Donkey Kong series have advanced until now. To go from "item collecting overload" to "let's play a plethora of different mini games with no consistency in challenge" is a strange, almost unfocused execution of ideas.

4867 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought one of these back when the N64 was still a modern console, and I just bought another one on Amazon. Obviously, I think this product is pretty adequate since I bought two of them. But here's some additional detail:

The four major modes in the title are mini-games: two variants on dungeon-crawling, a puzzle section, and a 3-D platform shootout. Tron, usually piloting her mechanical mobile suit, Gustaff, is assisted by 40 cute-as-a-button "servbots". The great thing about the servbots is their absolute innocence in the service of piracy -- it's hilarious to blow the doors off a house, send in the servbots, and watch them run out yelling "yay!", their arms full of loot.
AWSOME!!!!!!!
4774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No other series quite conjures the atmosphere associated with Konami's Castlevania series. Hearkening back to the days of the original Castlevania on the NES, the combination of classic monsters, from Frankenstein's monster to the Price of Darkness himself, coupled with a decidedly Japanese feel made for quite the gameplay experience, and luckily for us, the classics just keep coming. The latest in the series (sorry, while the 3D Castlevania games on the N64 are adequate, they just don't carry on the tradition), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, is the first to not feature a whip- weilding member of the Belmont clan as it's protagonist, but rather the all-too-vampiric son of Dracula, Alucard, last seen helping Trevor Belmont in Castlevania III on the NES. Playing more like Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, or even Super Metroid on the SNES, Symphony of the Night adds some RPG elements like the ability to gain in strength by levelling up, equipping items and an occasional NPC. While the gameplay is a bit different than previous games, this is a good thing, as it adds depth to the already tried and true play mechanics of the series.

If I had a couple of complaints it would be these...
It's really tragic if you don't have this game when you own an N64, you don't know what you're missing out on.
This is an ideal RPG for gamers who don't normally play RPGs, and is the only one I've played - and played all the way through (twice). Yesterday I introduced my 12 year old son to it and we are now playing through together.
If you never played it before, please pick it up if you have a Dreamcast. You will not be dissapointed at all and it is well worth the $10 you will spend for it.
As you get deeper into the story as either character, you soon find out about the sub-characters and what their motives are; especially the seductive Ada. Ada, it turns out is looking for the G-Virus (which is the younger brother of the T-Virus, but also, much deadlier in making the zombies and monsters deadlier than they actually are), although she doesn't say who she works for until it is mentioned in Wesker's Report who Ada was working for; it turns out that she was working for Wesker. Toward the end in Leon's quest, she falls to her "death", but very much like Wesker, she keeps on coming back like a phoenix rising from the ashes (she comes back and help's Leon find the President's daughter in Resident Evil 4).
Plot/Story: The game's story takes place during the year 1797, 5 years after the events of Rondo of Blood. The story begins with Richter Belmont's defeat of Count Dracula, mirroring the end of the former game. However, despite Dracula being defeated, Richter vanishes without a trace. Castlevania rises again five years later, and while there are no Belmonts to storm the castle, Alucard, the son of Dracula, awakens from his self-induced sleep, and decides to investigate what transpired during his slumber. Alucard arrives at the castle. Inside, he meets Dracula's servant Death who warns him to stop his quest to destroy the castle; Maria a seventeen-year-old vampire hunter on a quest to find Richter; and the castle's librarian, who sells him various items and equipment. Periodically encountering Maria throughout the castle, he meets Richter, who claims to be the master of the castle and forces him to do battle with two monsters. Alucard defeats the monsters, and finding Maria again, tells her about Richter; upset, she leaves him to confirm it for herself. Convinced that Richter is under the control of another, she meets up with Alucard again, and urging him not to hurt Richter, gives him an item which allows him to see past illusions. In the keep of the castle, Alucard confronts him, and learns that he plans to resurrect Dracula so that he may battle the vampire for eternity. Alucard breaks the spell controlling him, and Dracula's servant Shaft appears; he reveals that despite ending his spell on Richter, Dracula will be resurrected soon, and summons an inverted version of the castle. Leaving Richter to Maria's care, Alucard enters the inverted castle to find and destroy Shaft. Along the way, he defeats Death, and eventually finds Shaft. Shaft admits that he planned to end the threat of the Belmont clan by controlling one as the master of the castle and forcing them to fight each other. As Alucard defeats him, Shaft reveals that Dracula's resurrection is complete. Alucard then faces his father, who vows to destroy humankind because Alucard's mother, Lisa, was executed as a witch. Alucard refuses to join him in his revenge, and the two battle. Alucard defeats him, and suggests that he lost the battle because he lost his ability to love after Lisa's death; Dracula then quotes the biblical verse Matthew 16:26, and learns that Lisa's final words were of eternal love for him and a plea not to hate, or at least harm, humanity. As Dracula vanishes, he asks for Lisa's forgiveness and bids his son farewell. Escaping the crumbling castle, Alucard rejoins Maria and Richter outside. Maria expresses relief that he escaped, while Richter blames himself as the reason for Alucard's fight with his father. Alucard reminds him that "the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing," and resolves to disappear from the world because of his "cursed" bloodline. Depending on how much of the castle the player has explored, Maria will either resign herself to his fate and leave with Richter, or chase after him with Richter's blessing in the hope of changing his mind.
Graphics: 5/5 (for their time)
I've loved this game for nearly 21 years, and I'll probably still love it by the time I'm 95 years-old.
Story (score 8/10): This game can be described as light on plot but heavy on thematic elements and setting. It relies more on it's atmosphere and themes to carry the narrative than on plot twists or an intricate storyline. In fact, the actual plot itself is fairly simple. A small village that has always been protected from forest monsters suddenly gets attacked one day and several villagers fall into a sleeping-sickness. It's up to Levant and Mahbu (his newly married wife) to obtain a rare herb from the dangerous forest in order to save them. Even though that sounds pretty simple, the actual themes are mature and thought-provoking. Remember in the introduction how I said this game reminds me of Studio Ghibli's works? Jade Cocoon reminds me most of Princess Mononoke since they both have a lot of the same themes. It literally feels like you are playing through a mythological tale or a fable of some type - in fact, the very opening of the game features a creation myth (complete with a frightening capricious deity) before the game sets you up in a more mundane human village. The cultural setting of the game is radically different from a Western one; the people inhabiting this tiny village are very much bound up in the rigors of tradition and responsibility is put before personal feelings. It's pretty much the opposite in theme to your typical RPG, which is all about running around the world having exciting adventures. Instead of that sense of freedom, Jade Cocoon makes you feel the oppressiveness of this cultural tradition and the sad and weighty responsibilities put upon the young protagonists. In fact, there are a lot of interesting concepts explored in this game, including arranged marriages, superstition and mythology, religion and creation stories, harmony and balance between humans and nature, prejudice, and morality. The great thing about this game is that it doesn't really answer any of the moral questions it raises for you - it's up to the player to ponder themselves...
1434 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Greetings, I am Oklonia. My review of Super Mario 64 is right here.
The story is well thought out and it has quite a few strange plot twists. You'll be sitting on the edge of your seat to find out what happens next, because of FF8's great story line. It starts off right from after the intro in which Seifer, a rival of Squall's, slashes Squall in the face. Squall is a student at the Garden, a mercenary school. He's very quiet and cold-hearted. He does have a few 'friends', who are Quistis and Zell. He and Seifer are the top students at the Garden and were always considered rivals. But, change happens when Squall meets Rinoa on a mission, a very interesting person with an optimistic attitude. She doesn't worry about anything, and is friendly to everybody. At first Squall doesn't really care.. but as the story goes on - things happen. And let's just say Squall's world is turned upside down, inside out and he doesn't really know what to do about it. A number of events occur, as they learn more about the Garden, Edea the sorceress and Laguna. At first you may think this is your typical 'boy meets girl, boy saves girl from big evil sorceress, boy falls in love with girl' but it's really a lot more complicated than that. Expect the unexpected, and you'll still be in for the ride of your life.
2811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pros:
6438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an incredible game. The graphics are stunning. The game play is fast paced. The stories are sweet. The Multiplay is awesome. Graphically, as you roam the land, you see deer running around, birds flying in the sky, and other creatures roaming around in the stunning environment. During scenarios, you don't hve time to mess around on alot of these as the enemy seems to find you rather quickly. Some of the battles are very intense and killing your enemy is no easy task. The stories are wonderful as you have the opportunity to play some of the greatest leaders that ever existed. Ghenghis Khan and Joan of Arc are just 2 of the 4 stories you get to play. It's like a history lesson while your playing as you learn their story and then fight their battles for them. The multiplay is awesome as far as I have seen as I have not had much time doing this. If you like real time games, this is a keeper.
6341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it. I get to play all my old games. I even have my granddaughter playing Donkey Kong, which she loves and she's only 4 years old. I am so glad I kept my games and got this system.
Controller cord has short length.
2047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Presentation:
The only downside to this game is the simple fact that it's too hard. I simply CANNOT get past the 9th year in the 10 year championship. And forget about 1st place in arcade mode unless you're superman. But perhaps that's part of what makes this game so great. You keep coming back for one more go, because it's so darn fun and so darn hard. Better that than hard and not fun (I'm talking to you Nintendo). For arcade racing fans this game is an absolute must.
2522 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product almost looked new. The screen had little scratches that I could barely see.
238 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best price and won't need any other memory card again.
5305 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I know that it seems unlikely that a game about farming would be fun. But Harvest Moon 64 is the most addictively entertaining game I have ever played, and I don't usually like RPGs.
Sonic the Hedgehog-a new Special Stage game where you have to get all of the blue spheres, similar to the Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckle special stages, just there are so many stages and, when they all finish, they repeat and, this time around, their faster.
The sound is incredible, and the music has never been better. I found myself turning the volume on the TV all the way up while playing this game, because the sound was that good!
7161 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GAME, THIS GAME WAS FOR A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY NIECE. SHE COMPLETELY LOVES HER GAME, SHE PLAYS IT EVERYTIME SHE GETS HOME FROM SCHOOL. THANK YOU SO MUCH

As far as plot goes the plot is the plot starts off okay. Then about two hours in goes in a different direction. It is fine for a while then but around the end is a large dungeon that is boring to go threw and leaves the any not very much of a climax. They lost any suspense you could have built up similar to the Tales Of Destiny ending. Also the characters don't have very strong and noticeable personalities. Also if you keep up with it you won't like the direction the plot takes thirds of the way threw.
656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You awake in a fairy tale world in a forest of faires, in front of you is the pinnacle of a hero of time, a ordinary child named link, thrown into a story of magical tragedy, love and war, fighting with swords, boomerangs and countless items in this open world rpg, adventure game. a classical magical artistic story of dark hope. From the moment i entered the tree, my deepest childish heart was immersed by The spooky chilling song of wonderus oblivion, played with a dida jiu, envoks the dark gothical environment of smokey earth, a hidden sign of our own earthly desires and self destruction. the rest of the music is amazing and fits each place perfectly. I really like the hyrule field song of mystery and adventure. You gather items such as slingshots, bombs, magic spells, and the sword of time. This allows you to go to times and alter the other time to your advantage. The sun and moon take turns with night and day as you run through a beautiful hyrule field, a fire mountain and other magical places. A legend of revolutionary gaming experience, exploration, story telling, magical youthfulness, a pioneer of open world environments with realistic time cycles. It feels like a real life fairy tale of magical gothical art and adventure. This is one of my biggest inspirational and memorial games and could be yours too.
Donkey Kong Country 3 includes two new main characters, Dixie Kong (who was also in DK2) and Kiddy Kong to to replace Donkey and Diddy Kong. It also includes graphics that are a lot better than many other SNES games. There are also many new bonuses and great secret places you need to find to beat the game.

8556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My husband loves how this looks on our high def TV. Quality product great working game!
Great system for leveling up magic/skills
5549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though not quite as awesome as the original Quake, Quake II still offers plenty of entertainment as you embark in a futuristic hell to defeat flesh-rotten cyborgs. More types of Guns with the ever so awesome BFG.
8758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product, exactly as described, arrived in a timely manner
7939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best rpg/adventure i have ever played , a link to the past is long, full of surprises, the difficulty is medium ( my favorite) and after you play you always get some urge to play it again many, many times.
1165 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time is the best zelda game there is! You go from being a kid, to being an adult! Link must beat five temples as an adult, the forest temple, the fire temple, the water temple, the shadow temple, and the spirit temple. The bosses are awsome, and all the characters are cool!
5643 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VIII is a great re-visit for fans of the series or anyone playing it for the first time. This game is one of the favorites of many fans thanks to the storyline. The battle system is similar to other entries in the system.
8084 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 King's Field (the original) received my full recomendation. King's Field II surpasses it. This game is everything the first was, and more. The world is larger and more detailed, the enemies are uniquely designed with an array of new faces along side King's Field I returnees. There is more user friendly command configuration, and a memory list of all the NPC's who have talked to you (no need for a sharp memory, like in the first). If you were even remotely interested in the first game, this game is more then double the value. If you are new to the King's Field world, this game will not spoil the first. Both are worth your time and money.
Play Control: 8/10
6125 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game so much but my emulator fails. Good game though. I enjoyed it alot. It was fun.
Games like this are what made the Genesis indisposable. If you still have one...hold onto it, don't sell it like I did.
Now, on to my gripes about the game of which there is only one...the graphics. Compared to all the other games Singletrac made up to this point, this game looks pretty rough, grainy and washed out. Yet, that point is not so much a big deal. It's the gameplay that counts, right??? Singletrac's next game, Rogue Trip Vacation 2012, more than made up for all that in the graphics department.
Popular Sega games tend to be arcade or fighting games - Rayman 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3. The incredibly high polygon draw rate (three million polygons per second) means that these games fly, giving great gameplay.
thanx
If you love Star Wars, intense fighting, puzzle solving, and difficult gameplay, you will love this game! I beat it around 6 times! I never replay games that many times, so that is saying a lot.
HELLO YOU IDIOTS IT WAS MADE IN 1997!!!!
ITS THINKING....love that tagline they used :)
As soon as the first round said "FIGHT" I might as well thrown in the towel. The game was gracious enough thou to just stand there for two seconds and let me get one shot in even thou I was 99.9% dead anyway, I mean, what the F is the point?!
725 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the Zelda game without the scary moon, I always told myself as a kid.
Tekken Ball is awsome
+one of the best cast of characters ever
So Rollercoaster Tycoon gets my recomendation for any age or skill level. Have fun!
The moto bikes are awesome. Handling is great, the levels are awesome, not to mention, you can get cheat codes (not gameshark) and unlock the old Jet Moto levels, which is just amazing. I don't care which character I am, or bike, I just love racing these levels. The intensity of racing in this game is very impressionable, which makes this game's value worth your money.
The evil witch, Gruntilda, is happily hanging out atop her mountain WHEN... The "cute" Tootie, sister of Banjo the bear, strolls by. Overcome with jealousy, she sees Tootie is quite a bit "cuter" than her. So she kidnapps Banjo's sister and creates a machine to suck Tootie's "cuteness" out and put it into her. Banjo and his sidekick breegull, Kazooie set off to find Tootie. A mole named Bottles helps them learn some new moves to defeat various obsticles in the game.
Highly recommended to any Final Fantasy fan, even though it's a bit old. You can usually get it inexpensively, and it's well worth it!
4486 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Alpha Centauri is a turn-based, city-building strategy, a great follow-on but not a sequel to Civilization II. The game adds a lot of diplomacy features although I usually try to wipe the other players out. Alpha Centauri has automation features too: City governors who decide what to build, although sometimes they would try to build something they shouldn't such as the `Build' governor making military units. Overall a classic, recommended for most and a must have for Civilization fans.
2797 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great! It's not as good as Myst, but it's still impressive. This games backs right up to Myst, so if you hann't played Myst, you will have NO idea on whats going on! Somthing thats better the Myst, the grapics. I don't know how good they are on PC because I've got the playstation virsion, but the graphics on that are awsome! My opinion on buying it or renting it is you should buy it if you've played and BEATEN Myst. But Bloskbuster donen't carry this game.
For your dino hunting adventures, you get to hunt with three weapons. A shotgun thats powerful (but very noisy), a silent crossbow that features a complex aiming system, and the powerful but limited sniper rifle. Although you only get three weapons, thats more then enough for plenty of dinosaur hunting action. One feature I really liked is that you can choose to hunt with sedative rounds (tranquilizers), which puts your prey to sleep instead of killing it, thus earning you more points.
Sound is excellent too, even today, the voice work sounds great (although it is in Japanese, so I can't understand it). Sound effects are equally impressive, the clash of swords and other weapons sound great, nothing is overdone, or repetivive. The music is wonderful, it's great to hear it has aged so well, even after all these years. Namco could have easily thown togther some bland 80's rock styled music, but it wouldn't have done the game justice. The sweeping classical tunes work rather well with the fast paced, yet tactical gameplay.
8348 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I ordered it for my Computer running Windows 8. I have other games running on Windows 8 and have no problems. I use to own Star Trek Armada but I lost the CD. So when I found this one I was excited about getting it.
The first sign that "Thousand Arms" is unique can be found in the story. You play Meis, the son of a famous Spirit Blacksmith, who is trying to find his place in the world - and food in his stomach - after he lost his noble status when his village was attacked by the Dark Acolytes. Unlike most noble heros in RPGs, Meis is a playboy and womanizer and charms, or attemtps to charm, practically every woman he sees. He eventually meets Sodina, sister of a famous Spirit Blacksmith, and from here the story really starts moving. Of course, there's the usual megalomaniac trying to rule the world and all that, but hey, it's an RPG. Some things are bound to stay the same, but this game has enough variety to help it stand out in the crowd.
But in January 2001 Sgea announced that due to low world-wide sales they would stop producig the Dreamcast and become a 3rd party developer for the other systems, never to make another Dreamcast system or any other system again. Thankfully, Sega would still support the Dreamcast until March 2002. In between those times is when the best Dreamcast games were released. NFL 2K2, NBA 2K2, NHL 2K2, Daytona USA, Crazy Taxi2 and Sonic Adventure 2 were all released between those lines. But here March 2002 has come and gone and the Dreamcast has passed on with the release of NHL 2K2.
2206 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent! Received as promised, and on time. Thank you.
There's no Bowser, Peach, or even the Mushroom Kingdom, but instead, you romp through Egypt, chasing an alien named Tatanga who has captured Daisy. And that's just the setting. In-game, there are Koopas with bombs for shells, robots, and when you go to World 4, it turns out that world takes place in Japan, as hinted by the music! The Fire Flower isn't even a Fire Flower. Instead, you get to shoot Superballs, which are rubber version of fireballs that can bounce off walls.
8115 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 may trekkkers waited for an action game with startrek characters, now thei prays have been answered, the good points are 1-you get to fight borg in 1st person 2-you get to fight with seven 3-you get to see voyager and lots of alien shipps and planets 4-you get to use cool startrek weapons 5-from activision, which also brought us quake 2 and 3, soldier of fortune, and battlezone 1,2
The main attractions in Planetscape are, I feel, the most important elements of any game - characterisation and storyline. The characters are NOT your ordinary AD&D fighters and mages. For example, we have Morte, a floating skull that uses his teeth as an attack weapon. Then there is Dakkon, who carries what appears to be a lightsaber as his weapon. He is also a mage, which means he can cast some impressive spells. Then there is Nordom (who you can find if you embark on an extremely difficult quest) who is a robot carrying crossbows. And Ignus, a chaotic mage made entirely of flame.
1370 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This great game is commonly overshadowed by the INFERIOR N64 Zelda games. If you have the N64 without this game, what are you waiting for? Buy this game! Super Mario 64 has GREAT gameplay, sound effects, music, graphics, and an excellent intro to top it all off!
I have only ONE gripe with this game. That is the default control settings. Thank goodness Nintendo has allowed us to change them! The default control scheme is TERRIBLE (using the X button to shoot?) and it's better that you can customize the controls.
-I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEATING A STAGE IN ORDER TO ALTER ANOTHER ONE. For instance, if Chill Penguin is destroyed, then all the lava in Flame Mammoth's stage will freeze, enabling X to make it through the stage easier and to obtain more powerups. Sadly, this idea was completely ignored for the next 4 sequels until X6, where it returned in the form of a crudely put together Nightmare system.
--EDIT--
Overall, a jam packed game that you will not get bored of. Play and become Caesar!
But, there is one issue I just can't stop from addressing: the controversy over the control scheme. Now, I won't go into one of my trademark rants insulting everybody, but I will state my thoughts from an objective point of view. The reason survival horror games have such awkward controls is because the game developers wanted it that way. This is a genre for puzzle solving, plotlines, exploration, and thought, not just about shooting things. They made the controls this way to render it, in a way, a sort of "anti-action" type of game genre. Still, though, once you get used to the controls, like me, you will have no trouble blasting zombies torsos in two soon enough.
The Dreamcast is a great deal at $50 and you can't go wrong with any games. I think the Dreamcast is the best deal on a video game system availible right now.
9583 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 After the disappointment of FF XII, was curious what makes that producer so well known and could mess up a frachise like this. So went back to the roots and try Final Fantasy Tactics. I think there are really some people who enjoy frustrations in games and think that this is the only way to consider a game fun. Final Fantasy Tactics is annoying, frustrating and unrewarding. I don't know what's wrong with people who think that this is a great game. You think you can spend time to level up the characters to make the story battles easier? You are completely wrong. I'm stuck in a boss battle that after a 100 hours of level up you thought you have characters 30 levels higher than the enemies, you should be ok? You are wrong. The boss is so strong that despite you are 30 levels higher than them, it can wipe out your whole party in one go - despite all of them are 30 levels higher and have the best equipment on them at that point of the game. What's the point? I think I'll give up the Final Fantasy frachise for good now if the next game is by the same producer. It's not worth it at all. For people who think this kind of game challenging and fun, I think I'd rather not be a gamer anymore. If I can, I want to give -5 stars to this game.
Some might claim this as the best game of all-time; I can't claim that, but it's certainly the best in the long-running Castlevania series. I doubt there'll be a Castlevania that will beat this one (for all you 64 lovers, Castlevania 64 and Legacy of Darkness AREN'T that great!). Its superb gameplay and style marks this as a great game and it should never be forgotten. If you've never played a Castlevania game before, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU START HERE. If you hate this game, "Have at You!"
7558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Rogue Spear because I bought R6(Rainbow 6) and finished it, but I wanted more. I heard they were coming out with a sequel and I thought it would be crumby like all sequels are I was wrong, this is 10x better than R6 first 2 more missions than R6 (18). There are more guns in Rogue spear which R6 really needed (27 in total, 19 Primary and 8 pistols) when R6 only had 12 in total, 6 primary and 6 secondary and in this game you actually need to use the flashbangs or the terrorists might kill the hostages when they see you. And let me tell you this is not one of those BS 1st person shooter games like Doom where you have health packs,nooo in this game the 1st bullet shot at you could be the last. And for all the parents buying this for their kids let me tell you this game teaches you strategy and how to pay attention because if you let your guard down that's it game over. The AI in this game is also the best in any game.
Just listen to One winged angel, Now THAT is what death sounds like!

8174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With the myriad of titles now available for the next-generation systems, you'd think Super Marioworld would be one no one would buy. If you own an old SNES and don't have this title, you're missing out on one of the greatest titles ever produced in the system's hey-day! Playability, graphics, sound, it's all here, and even if you're not a Mario fan, give this game a spin and you won't be disappointed. Give this classic a try, and you'll find yourself humming the Mario theme well after the game is done.
279 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it is very I am enjoying it very much and I really love it thanks a whole lot appreciate it
6546 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am not too picky on the best versions for these 2 titles. Purists alike will say to avoid this one but I did not mind. There are, however, some precautions regarding these games. 1.) translation, 2.) loading times, 3.) bugs.
7313 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Here comes the (one-time) end of an era. And sadly, it ends not with a bang, but with a whimper. Like MM7 before it, Mega Man 8 suffered quite a bit of backlash, and this time around it was a result of the rather unbecoming 16-bit-ish graphical structures on the 32-bit wonders of the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation, and, if you ask me, it was not the title to follow the monstrous Mega Man X4 that came out around the same time. Still, for all the weeping against statues, MM8 still serves up some classic Mega Man fun with that new-school Mega Man X feel. The searching for hidden items becomes more important and challenging this time around, the action is still consistently hectic, and the level designs are pretty nicely done with some rich and vivid color work. However, there's a very cheesy, sugar-coated appeal to this, even more so than MM7 (which, I think, was trying to emulate the American animated series); that and the bosses and weapons don't seem as good as they could have been, Rush's abilities aren't as important as they used to be, and the voice acting is atrocious for certain characters (Dr. Light, Bass, and some of the bosses are the prime sinners in this regard...and Rush Shiraishi did a better job voicing X in X4 than she did Mega Man in this. It fits better, if you ask me). Still, there's enjoyment to be had. Just remember to take it at face value...and consider it a stepping stone to Mega Man 9.
9241 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. One of the best titles available on the Super Nintendo game system.
One thing to keep in mind is you may need to add some things to it. Some games require a memory card, which plugs into the controller, and some need an expansion pack, which plugs into the console. You can add a rumble pack if you want, but that's not required. It should come with 2 controllers, but you can have up to 4.
7882 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. If you enjoy taking on a human, strange beast or dinosaur with everything from a bowie knife to a rocket launcher, TUROK is your ticket. A good-looking game for the N64 platform with lots of action and wild levels. An overall awesome retro game.
1906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so,so,so good! You can play it for hours and not get bored! If you are lonely or bored,get Spyro now,now now! It is so great,you'll adore it!
2391 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Beyond and above all the hype surrounding the 'Pokemon' phenomenon, the fact remains that the game at the centre of it all is extremely good fun. Think of the 'Final Fantasy' games, but without the boring plot bits, and you have 'Pokemon' - an approachable RPG that seems superficially simple, but has a surprising depth of strategy behind it. From the perspective of a hard-core, long-time gamer it's heartening to know that something as popular as this does not require a monster PC with a Voodoo5 (indeed, it could easily be converted for the Commodore 64), and the never-ending, open-ended gameplay is a nice homage to 'Elite'. The necessity to buy two copies of the game to 'complete' it, and the massive marketing blitz surrounding the core product is somewhat jading, but don't let that detract from the essential purity of the original.
8699 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game as a 'kid friendly' game for my children. As it turns out our whole family, myself included, plays the game. It has become a staple for family fun night. I would recommend this game for anyone of any age. I am very pleased with this purchase.
1509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My daughter thinks it great and hilarious, it seems to work well also, it arrived very quickly. great product !
9719 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
Why? Well, it's a racing game with Nintendo characters (Ok, it's not Super Smash Bros Melee but there are many fine characters in Super Mario Kart). There are many options of racing thoughout the game, but the characters are eight: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Toad, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa and Donkey Kong Jr. I like to race with Mario, most of the time. There are three kind of championships in the game: the Star Cup, Flower Cup, and the Mushroom Cup. There are indeed many choices of racing in this game. With or without other cars, one or two players, it's all up to you.
7233 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Bottom line is you will get a lot of game for your dollar. Even after the 35-40 hours to complete every single last objective the game, there's still a simple, but worthy multiplayer mode to keep you occupied. The real problem is that right to the end, it's just more of the same. There isn't the sharp contrast that DKCountry brought to the SNES as most hoped and expected. While no major ground is broken from Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong is still all there as a 3D platform game.
But Capcom has made up for that with the live decisions that alter gameplay and even endings and the randomness of the game in terms of enemies and items. You never know quite what you'll get on any given play through.
What you have to understand about Starcraft is that it's not meant to be a cutting-edge feature-heavy supergame where you can customize the behavior of your units and give them complex orders. It's meant to be more of a strategy game like real-time chess, and in this it succeeds brilliantly. It shares the quality of chess in that there are a limited number of units with straightforward abilities, but there are an infinite number of things and strategies that you can do with them. To this day players are still inventing new strategies for these units and races.
Sporting tons of monsters, RPG elements, outstanding artwork, Super-Metroid style gameplay, a killer soundtrack, and huge areas to explore (as well as the "other" castle later on), Symphony took most of the best elements of previous Castlevanias, gave the series a massive overhaul in the structural and aesthetic departments and started what is essentially the 2nd generation of Castlevania games. To this day, it remains a gorgeous feast to the eyes, ears, and gaming experience that does in fact, stand the test of time. Although at the time, it appeared that this would be the big hurrah of 2D Vampire Hunting... that is, until the GBA arrived years later heeding the cries for more Symphony:
9678 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great game with a unique concept - travel around an a constant moving vehicle and try and capture photos of Pokemon. The better quality you get the better score you get, and if you can capture a pokemon in a rare moment you get an even better score.

Graphics aside, this game has a lot to offer as far as gameplay is concerned.
What is your favorite part?
Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask
Gameplay: ***** (Amazing boss fights, you will be on the edge of your seat during battles, incredibly fun)
5759 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i loved this game. while it's true, it's not as good as VII, that is an unfair comparison, as VII was a milestone. now, back to VIII.
In a game like Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat, you would rely heavily on your ability to combine special attacks with top-tier mastery of the fighting moves. To achieve a respectable level of skill at Killer Instinct requires you to master the fighting combinations. There are auto combos, juggle combos, and some very cool methods of stringing them together to make a more damaging and longer combo. No matter how good you get at combos though, if you are going head to head against another top-tier player who is capable of executing a combo-breaker at will, the tables can turn very quickly.
8265 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this product came in on time if not earlier. item was descibed exactly as it was in the description. thanks.
6393 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the best flight simulator Microsoft has ever produced, there no doubt about that... Excellent graphics, new features such as GPS navigation, more airports worldwide, better weather system, and easier to use. There is a downside to all this I think the consumer should know. The speed of the game is NOTICABLY slower compared with MS FlightSim 98 and below... Very glitchy all-around. I could not seem to speed it up (usually averages around 20 frames per sec) even with setting the detail settings lower. To put it in perspective, I have a PII 400mhz computer with 192mb of ram and a 16mb 3dfx Voodoo 3d accelerator card. I even bought the accelerator card to see if it would speed it up... it barely does! I am recommending anyone who wants to buy this program and likes a fast, non-glitchy game to be aware that if your computer has a processor below 300mhz, you will not like what you see... Microsoft says that you must have a 166mhz minimum! HA! You wouldn't even be able to fly the graphics would be so slow.
However, I do have a couple of qualms. First off, It's no starcraft or even warcraft. The AI, in my opinion, although completly overhauled from the first game, is still lacking in some places. And second, although the senarios are all based on historical wartime events, (i.e Joan of Ark or William Wallace vs Longshanks) they really have no replay value otherwise. However, when all is said and done, compared to the first game, this stunning sequal has a lot to offer to the RTS gaming world. However, it's still far from revolutionary (no pun intended)
Granted yes the SNES version made no references at all to "killing" your opponent in the pre-match intros but who really paid attention to those? Thought not.
- Educative: I really don't know why this game is rated E for Everyone... I feel like the game has some scary parts (in other words, the cemitery and the Shadow Temple), so it should be rated T for Teen, even though it has no great violence, no red blood (just green blood sometimes). But you parents shouldn't worry about that. This beauty must be taken to your children.
2178 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works just fine.
This is a good value for the money. It may not be as great as AGE OF EMPIRES or STARCRAFT, but TIBERIAN SUN is fun nonetheless. Enjoy!
4820 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the first RTS game that I have played along with Starcraft and Lords of the Realm 2. But Lords of the Realm 2 (Starcraft is a whole diffrent stoty) didn't have what Warcraft had. The easy to get used to gameplay with great graphics in terms of running smooth, the very low system requirement, and the satisfaction of the Battle.net. I have not played this game since 2000 (Because my dad broke my CD. Read my Starcraft Battle Chest review.) so I don't know if anyone plays online now but all I know is that I had the most fun playing this game back in 2000. I remember the satisfaction that I had with my friends after beating the opponent with my ogres and the dragons. This game ran fine when I used to have Intel Celeron 400MHZ, 64mb ram, and 56k modem. So if you get this game right now, you shouldn't have any technical problems. Also this game is very easy to get used to with easy gameplay and great graphics for an outdated game. This game is definitly a must have if you are a RTS fan. You should know that Warcraft started it all. It started the great RTS gaming genre.
5086 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is perfection, for lack of a better word. In every way shape and form. And if nothing else, it is one of the few first player shooters (including System Shock and Half-life) that I have not been able to stop playing since I got it? So how was UT able to beat out the QUAKE III team (the pioneers of the DM shooter)? Let's compare!
- The graphics aren't all that bad. I was expecting much worse. Though they're not bad, they're not great either. About the same as Fallout 1. I am surprised they haven't been improved by a patch.
the 1st Zelda on the NES, Shigeru Miyamoto is the greatest video game designer of all time, he should be in the
The GBA version was cool, with all the neat little features that were added, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as the classic Zelda on SNES. As they say: "Classics never die.", which I stand by in everything: cars, song, video games, ect..
Donkey Kong 64 does have boss fights which are arguably harder than the ones in the DKC series which is a huge benefit. MUCH harder in fact, such as that one boss that bounces from block to block increasing in speed as he gets closer to his demise. The red dragon fight offers eye candy excitement as well. Also, there *is* a nice feeling of pleasantness and calmness in exploring the jungles and caves. Even if jungle exploration collect-a-thon objectives are not what I personally prefer in a 3D Donkey Kong game, I can at least admit that, atmospherically, the game's very nice. The ability to punch or the equivalent of punching (such as hair slapping with Tiny) is a decent feature. Sometimes it's fun to just walk up to an enemy and punch their lights out! At times that's your only means of eliminating them since they often pose a distraction.
The only thing that might be a problem is that as some of these games are old they might not work on newer machines. Make sure that you have all the patches from Sierra and read the documentation thoroughly in case the games don't function your first try. With a little bit of computer coaxing you should get them going again, but you also might decide it's not worth the trouble.
9664 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fun game, as described. My husband enjoyed it :)
====================================================
As you play, you uncover pieces of the storyline in voice messages that have been left behind by the ship's crew members. With a few exceptions, the voice acting for the game is terrific. They start off somewhat chilling, and by the end, they get downright scary. You follow storylines for individual crew members many times to their grim demise. I found myself hoping that a character would survive the game, only to find her dead later. Also, an surviving ally guides you through the game with e-mail messages. By listening to the messages, you also get clues for the game's puzzles, which are generally very easy to solve. All the while, you are alone, defending yourself against the hideous force that has hijacked the ship.
1485 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I wanted to get another doom game because I have a friend who won't give it back so I ordered another 1 and it does not play
And I don't know if you noticed, but check the other reviews, many of the reviewers do not know how to use the ratings and gave it 1 star or 0 stars when they actually intend to give it full stars!!! So this game is really greater than its rating!!!
The lead voice actor's frequently flat and deadpan delivery of lines
Overall, 9 out of 10, a solid title to add to your N64 collection.
5550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 LOVED it, totally fantastic and definitely a good buy, make a good purchase with this one and you'll be pleased
The game plays like any turned-based strategy; you usually have about 3-6 guys and fight a bunch of enemies. You fight on big, open levels and you choose where to have them move and attack. The objectives range from defeat all your enemies, rescue a certain person, or get to a certain place. Also, every time you defeat one of your enemies, they explode into gallons of blood. Swift Justice!
7863 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 With the successful franchise of Super Mario Brothers blooming in 1996 with Mario 64, Nintendo 64 seemed to be very strong as a contender in the video game wars. Although the system has lasted about 6 years, the impact it has made with cartridge video games, will never be duplicated ever. When Mario Kart 64 came out in 1997, the field was just explosive unlike anything else. Then, nearly a year later, another mark in the racing form came about with Diddy Kong Racing. The game was just as surprising as the race that Mario Kart had left in the dust. Surprisingly, with Diddy Kong Racing, there was a little more at stake than meets the eye.
4001 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 As usual Interact accessories dissapoint. This Tremor Pak jumps too hard for what is taking place on screen and absolutely sucks. The slightest action on screen and it wants to jump out of you hand....not good at all. Instead of adding realism to a game it proves to ba an annoyance!
2994 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite video game. I still remember seeing the preview for it on TV: "An evil empire is sucking the life force from the planet, destroying all that's in its path. It's up to one soldier of fortune to save the world. If he succeeds, you survive. If he fails, you can always hit the reset button." After the game came out, it was months before I could afford it. It was worth it. Over a decade later, no game has come close in meaning as much to me as this one.
The story may turn on some, turn off others, but overall, the characters are the driving plot of this game and once you get a liking of any of the characters here, you would enjoy the story immensely. I have to say the dialogue is pretty well-scripted, as well as translated impeccably (that's a positive word, folks), with a few funny and witty dialogue and in-jokes. This converts a seemingly tried-and-true RPG elements into something very light and enjoyable feel on a slightly cliched but well-written story.
Met the people, cleared the farm- I like it!

Some fatalities stink(like decks first fatalitiy)
3047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I could tell right at the beginning when the game started, that I was going to have fun playing it. It grabs you immediately, along with the looks that I had never seen before. It is easy to give this game a perfect 10 because when I played Final Fantasy VII it was more fun, best looking, and a huge free roaming world, I had ever experience. I loved all the vehicles that were in the game, along with the music. If you have never played this game, I believe you would have fun just because of the story line along with the superior game play, which is the most important, aspect right!
A+
4654 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I fell in love with this game because of its simple interface. Memorize a few button presses and you can be putting songs together in no time. Pick from hundreds of melodies, bass lines, drum parts, sound effects, and percussion samples and paste them together to make a song. It's that easy. You can even create your own riff if you've got the patience for it. Then you can even create your own music video to along with your song.
You are involved in an experiment that goes awry (to put it mildly). A dimensional portal opens up and all of these mean & nasty aliens have slipped thru (they get meaner and nastier as the game goes on). You try to escape the compound, picking up a variety of weapons to defend yourself as you go along. The weapons include: a crowbar (also good for opening up boxes of supplies), a pistol, a 44 Magnum (very cool), a shotgun, an automatic machine gun w/a grenade launcher, hand grenades + some experimental weapons (being researched in various levels of the lab) and other stuff. You will need them all for the task that awaits you.
8066 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These were the days... when graphics and online shooters weren't the main concern of the casual or hardcore gamer. Tomba! 2 is a gem of a game which involves elements of 3-D AND 2-D levels and platforming, with some slight RPG and adventure in it as well. You don't need the first game to enjoy this sequel, but if you have it, lucky you. The characters all speak aloud in classic storytelling dialogue, keep in mind some games to this day lack voice acting forcing you to read, with some games having small font, Let alone barely having DECENT voice acting. You'll backtrack to unlock chests and reach for other goodies you couldn't get previously in the earlier stages of the game thanks to gifts and items you receive along the way for helping those in need out. Almost reminds you of mario 3 with all the different suits and gadgets, Tombi gets some cool weapons and tools of his own. Puzzles and challenge await along with nice graphics for this games time, beautiful colors and worlds such as islands, snow, underground and more. Get this and you will not be disappointed...
I did however get it to start...once....but it locked up and pixelated, then crashed with a fatal error.
3359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in great condition. Love it.
Didn't work at all. It was however a madcatz and not an official sony controller.
The thing about the game is that it has everybody's favorite Nintendo characters in one game. It doesn't even skip on the moves. You can throw Link's boomerang, Samus Aran's morphing ball bombs, Mario's fireballs, Jigglypuff's sing, and many other characters moves. The graphics for the game were excellent at the time and still look better than any N64 game except Mario 64.
7651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very fun to play
Man..bad graphics, horrible gameplay, sucky battle system, hard to understand, VERY difficult to get into it, too confusing, dumbxxx characters like cloud, hes the worst.(except sephiroth), sometimes too long of cutscenes, boring cutscenes, you can barely see their eyes & mouth, etc. etc. etc. etc. times a million.

We're talking nearly 14 years since the original Mortal Kombats release, and now we can look at the Mortal Kombat series for what it really is: a cheesy-looking and crappy series of uninteresting tournament fighting. That's what the entire series is (until the game turned 3D, then I don't know WHAT to think). Just the way the two fighters attack each other is SO boring. Even the best fighters like Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot are a total bore.
4685 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 On the surface, this 2D Scrolling-view adventure game seems no different that all the classic Castlevania games from the ancient NES system... But from the second you start playing it, you remember why those first few ancient Castlevania games were so great. They are as addictive as they are fun to play, as is this Playstation version.
6506 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 nice
If you're a Descent fan or a newbie Descent 3 is a nice to get acquainted with the wonderful world of PC gaming.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3-Probably the best game to go with Sonic and Knuckles, this makes the game even longer, putting together the stages of Sonic 3 AND Sonic and Knuckles. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is one of the best games ever. Some paths are even exclusive to Knuckles.
*RESIDENT EVIL 2
Gameplay involes you and your group of up to 7 friends trying to figure out a war between two halves of the country you're in. Each character has its own strengths and weaknesses, of course, and they gain in skill as they go through battles.
371 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 they just don't make any chargers for this and are hard to find so this is just a life saver for me
Sadly, my only major complaint is that if you've downloaded Donkey Kong '94 for your Nintendo 3DS, you WON'T get to see the awesome colors that you could have on your Super Game Boy adapter. And there is no way to fix it in the System Settings. I don't currently know if this same problem applies to the NEW Nintendo 3DS that was released 4 months ago. Yet all the same, I would STILL give this game 6 stars. So I strongly recommend that all gamers download Donkey Kong '94 right now!! :)
So even with the stunning graphics, compelling music, and simple but effective cutscenes, the un-intuitive gameplay and the sameness of it all brought this still very good game down to only 4 stars.
5899 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So you want to fly a Navy Jet but you don't have the time... no problem just buy this game
Other than that I don't know of any other cons since I have just started playing and haven't started the scenerios.
7643 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game so much I own it on many various systems. None of the them hold a candle to the actual Arcade, but most of the home versions of the game have their own something that make them unique to the ones on other systems. Quite a lot of people who play this game put down the SNES version just because it did not include Bam Bam Bigelow or Yokozuna, however I still say next to the actual Arcade version, the SNES is the best all around with control responses and collision detection.
7924 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good and as expected. Recommended !
This game did not recieve as much attention as it should have, but I strongly reccomend it. The only two flaws are the slowdown that occurs from time to time, especially during the video editing, and the songs take up an enormous amount of space on your memory cards.
2227 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I know the kids needed this for something but don't know why. I believe its still working as they still play 64
9623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best. Blow arms, legs, heads, and you know whats off. This is a great shooter. There is no better action 1st person shooter on the market thats for sure. Though it does lack a good overall story line, and is a fairly easy and short game to beat its still a whole lot of fun. Lots of weapons and enemys and inocents too. Though your not supposed to shoot civies I like this game because unlike rogue spear you don't fail the mission for shooting them. Overall I give SOF 6 Stars this is one to have!
Now, here comes Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, at the time of its release, this game didn't receive NEARLY as much attention as the previous two Resident Evil games. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that video game fans were anticipating the upcoming release of the Playstation 2 in the year 1999, or maybe people thought the Resident Evil series was starting to run dry. Nah, I highly doubt that second one is true. Nemesis was just the Resident Evil game that didn't really stand out, despite the many positive reviews of the game that I'm sure you've read about. Yes, the game is fantastic, and the fact that so many people would agree with me is more proof that the Resident Evil series was nowhere NEAR ready to be forgotten. Not in this lifetime, baby. It's just that Nemesis wasn't really a drastic jump forward in terms of innovation, like Resident Evil 2 was.
5040 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Silent Hill is much scarier than the Resident Evil series...It is much more demonic than the resident evil series and has more conflicts. This game is by far the most scariest game i"ve ever played. It is funner to watch though (to me it is).The graphics are not good but the graphics make it scarier in a strange way. As far as the game play,it's pretty good but the game isn't meant for gameplay much. The story is ver unique and good,its about Harry trying to find his daughter and on his way a bunch of CRAZY [stuff] happens....Their is quite a bit of puzzles but there not too hard...This games so demonic and satanic its probably illegal for christians to play this game(just sayin somethin).If your lookin for something scary or demonic or anything then I reccomend playing this game.
Overall:
Let's see all the things you have to collect. Honeycomb pieces, jiggy pieces (mandatory to open entrances to new locations and you need to obtain a certain number of them per world), 100 musical notes which is a total ripoff of Super Mario 64 with the 100 coins needed to get a star, mumbo tokens used to cast spells, and jinjo tokens used to win vehicle parts. You can turn into animals and insects which is somewhat satisfying for the sake of seeing the occasional brief moments of diversity, but otherwise nothing to get really excited about. Often you have to climb trees or mountains to reach the items on top and it gets boring after a while, believe me. The snowy and dessert areas are incredibly generic too, as are the underwater cave sections and grasslands.
Anyway, about the game. You start out as a young boy living with your mother, and set out to become the world's greatest Pokemon trainer. When you try to leave town, Professer Oak will give you a starter Pokemon (the only real difference between this one and Yellow is that in Yellow, you MUST start with Pikachu). Once you have picked one, you must battle your rival, and then you can leave. The rest is obvious...
1176 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I confess- i've never played a single Zelda game before this- cause i wasn't into RPG games, but i'm so glad i never gave this a miss. One day, i just felt like playing this game and i bought it and it's terrific, no maybe better than terrific, it's too good to be true.
I'm a HUGE fan of Sim-stuff ... I can't get over how clever they are, how real they play out, how absolutely consuming they can be.
The special stages are entirely different from the first game. Now you must run through a halfpipe, collecting rings to get Chaos Emeralds. However, this is easier said than done. The sound and music are, once again, excellent. The graphics are also great, as they are an improvement of Sonic 1's.
Alpha Centauri. In my opinion, this IS the greatest computer strategy game ever, to say nothing of the greatest turn-based computer strategy game ever. There is just so much to love.
The games that made me play the N64 were Mario 64, Mariokart 64, OOT, and MM
Value: 9/10 - Endlessly fun to play. Ape Escape is a game you will start once and start again, start once and start again. You'll play it so many times; you may take over 10 whole memory cards!
One tip thought for Voodoo3 users is that this game is FAST - TOO FAST! so go to the website and get the patch to slow it down a bit!!
The game has a decent single player (and co-op) campaign, but the only reason to play it is to unlock more characters and weapons. I'm focusing solely on the multiplayer aspect because it's what defines the game and is a thrilling experience. There are four different modes, each with it own set of levels: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, and Frag Tag. The first three should be self-explanatory; the fourth turns one player into a monkey who must tag or elude the other human players for a certain amount of time. If they die, they respawn as the monkey. If they tag someone or remain alive, then someone else turns into the monkey. This mode is silly, but can be fun if played on the right level. There is also an option to use bots and play against the computer.
some sound effects are annoying
7240 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought DK64 when it first came out in 1999, and from the moment I started to play it I did not like it at all. It is way too complicated and difficult to play, and I would not recommend this game. Every time I tried to play it I just kept getting frustrated, and I had to stop playing it. Instead I would recommend Banjo-Kazooie or Mario 64.
7975 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is, by far, the best adventure-based video game of all time. Sure, the graphics aren't 3-dimensional, but the game was released for Super Nintendo twelve years ago! What do you expect? The plot is as follows (don't worry, I won't spoil everything):
Okay enough about game mechanics. Essentially the gameplay can get repetitive what with the combat mode and walking about, but that's what's to expect from an RPG. What makes the game jibe so well is the story behind it. All that non-linear gameplay sets up the feeling of being in a living, breathing environment. At least as good as you can get from the Sega Genesis (keep in mind boys and girls this is the 16 bit era). The personal mission you have is more linear, but since you can get on and off track of that anytime you feel it still feels more fluid. The climax of the game feels big and gets you pumped. Definitely worth the effort for 16 bit console fans.
6936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quest 64. Amazing. Really! Ok this game is so much dang fun I just couldn't believe it was so much fun! Now Nintendo 64 isn't suppossed to be an RPG system, but this one just plain out blew every other RPG out of the water. Quest has amazing graphics(the best I have ever seen in any system). Some don't like how enemies will pop up out of nowhere when you are outside, but HELLO PEOPLES! I THINK IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT THEN YOU SHOULDNT BE PLAYING THE GAME, EH? AFTER ALL, THE ENTIRE GAME IS PRETTY MUCH FIGHTING THOSE VERY ENEMIES. eh hem, now back to the game's shining assests. The fighting system is wonder ful I love shooting fireballs and ice rays at enemies or just whacking the living daylights outta them with my staff. The last thing I have to say is that with all this nonsense coming out these days(Playstation2 AND 3, Xbox 360, PSP, that weird FLY thing, and other garbage) it is a pure blessing that Nintendo has the respect to make classics that are amazing and never get old. Nintendo, in a world of scams and stupid junk systems, you guys rule! The best games are QUEST 64!!!, Yoshis story, and Super Mario 64. Dont buy into this new crap*AKA Xbox 360* Get the old classics that rule in gaming!!!
3875 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Broke within the first day, but hell, its a N64 GS, what do you expect? It can in very nice condition and worked perfectly till it froze.
Sound: 7/10 - Spyro's usual flapping wings, splashing water, swishing buck sound and great editing satisfy, even if the overall sound could've improved.
8399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had not played earthworm Jim until recently and man I gotta say... What the heck is going on? This game has a very cartoony theme to it, which unfortunately detours more "mature" players. However, this does not mean this game is easy just because it appeals to younger ages. You have limited ammo (not an issue early on but it vanishes quickly during use) and a whip attack which can be a pain to aim at times. This game gives you plenty of health to withstand attacks but it adds up FAST. Some enemies are lined up so you will be instantly killed should one get ahold of you. There are many more challenges along the way with more wacky themes. Oh and I hope you like hearing the word "groovy" a lot
7140 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 If I could give no stars I would. Controller shipped quickly but was not as it was described in the listing. Quality was rated as acceptable with a loose joystick. When we opened the box the controller had two cuts (with somewhat exposed wires) in the main cord, dirt in the joystick and memory card areas and other spots that could have easily been cleaned in less then 1 minute. When we plugged the controller in the loose joystick greatly effected game play. We sent the controller back within a few days.
Pretty good music
However, there are still four stars to talk about. The story is well thought out, if a bit obscure and sometimes too convenient (all orphans, really!). We feel for the characters and may even feel akin to them and their internal or sometimes external debates. The graphics, for the time of good ol' 1999, are amazing. A mere two years after FFVII, the graphics took some serious leaps and bounds. The gameplay graphics are almost identical, but the CG spectacular that you will be graced with was ahead of it's time (as proven by FFXI). The gameplay is fun and there is PLENTY to occupy your time. The draw system can be a pain in the ass, and then you never want to use magic 'cause it boosts your stats, but summons (Guardian Forces, GFs) and weapons prove to be more than what you need to not only get through the game, but excel at it.
First off, Myst is a classic. Of course, even with revisions, it is completely outdated. But the intrique and spark is still there. Beautiful scenery and lush sound. I wouldn't recommend this to first person shooter fans. But I'm a big first person shooter fan I still find Myst to be an excellent adventure.
As is to be expected of a portable Zelda game, there's no actual Zelda character involved and the Triforce are nowhere to be seen, but for some of us, that's somewhat refreshing. Your ultimate goal in the game is to collect several magical instruments (a theme now found in many Zelda games) and solve the mystery of how Link ended up on the mysterious Koholint Island.
6232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 as expected
now, my classification of the first lunar versions.
You are Megaman Volnutt. Roll Casket and her Grandpa, Barrel Casket, have raised you since they found you when you were a child. Following Barrel's footsteps, Megaman and Roll become Diggers. Diggers are people who search through ruins, infested with Reaverbots, to find parts and other things. The main thing a lot of Diggers are looking for are Refractors, which are extremely powerful crystal-like objects that power society. The world is almost entirely ocean so people must use flying machines or boats to get around. Megaman, Roll, and Barrel crash-land their flying ship, The Flutter, on an island called Kattelox. You go on to discover the island's many secrets and fight off the treasure hungry pirates.
The Bad
Lara's adventures follow the same basic mold as _The Mummy_ or the _Indiana Jones_ movies; she goes poking about in ancient sites and gets involved in Things Man Was Not Meant To Know (and that Woman Was Meant To Put Right, apparently!). Being action-oriented, the game gives you a wide range of motion, and does a nice job of making you feel the difficulty and danger of some of her feats -- jumping over pits filled with spikes, swinging on ropes over chasms, climbing sheer cliffs, swimming through shark-infested waters, and so on. In The Last Revelation, the dark Egyptian god Set is unleashed upon the world, partly through Lara's ending up somewhere she shouldn't have been, and so Lara has to put a stop to his rampage. Normally one human against a god would be a silly idea, but then again, the last time Set was loose, human beings didn't have fully automatic weapons, bazookas, and grenades.
7243 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The single player part of this game is a bit short and the multiplayer is where this game excels.
If you are a crash fan you might like this one, but you cannot help being disappointed.
and yes, i think it helped my motor skills.
I also purchased an Ultra Racer 64 controller for pennies on Amazon, cuz its easier for me to use with its steering wheel than the small toggle that comes with the N64 controller.

5932 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Diablo 1 is a fantastic game, Diablo 2 basically expands upon that. More classes, more levels, better graphics... Yet it just isn't as challenging as the original. Still a great game and fans of the first should pick this up.
6697 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, this game is way old. It still hold us extremely well though. Playing the old monochrome games on the Sp causes them to almost upgrade. This game still looks great and control well. Its just old school Mario 2D goodness. The cool thing and reason I bout this is that it has enemies that Mario faces that he doesn't face in any other game to date. Its a great title to own to play or just collect.
You play as Alucard, the son of Dracula, and he's improved over his Castlevania III(NES) version. The whole castle environment is done in the same vein as Zebes was in Super Metroid; in fact, the whole game borrows from Super Metroid! You might think that's bad, but the gaming geniuses at Konami utilized that tactic and made it worthwhile. The soundtrack kicks...especially Richter Belmont's theme (speaking of which, he's also a playable character). The graphics were state-of-the-art for the Playstation's debut and they're very stylish and, of course, in the Castlevania style. Also, being a huge fan of Super Metroid and Castlevania, this game not only throws in its own goodies, but has that good ol' "old school" feel to it. This game also has items GALORE and you can collect cards to cast magic spells and use familiars.
6415 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires is better than other simulation games. Age of Empires 2 Age of the Kings has many features. You can play a Random game which allows you to chose how many players, who is your enemy, what color represents your empire, and what kind of land you want. In a Regicide, you do the same except have to [do away with] the king of the enemy empire to win. AOE Age of the Kings has the best campaigns like the William Wallace Campaign. In the History page you can find out the history from the Britons to the Vikings. Age of Empires represents a strong game. Only if a 3rd version would be made. If you have the game or thinking about buying it here are some cheat codes that may help you:
5533 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really can't believe that this game has received four stars from Amazon reviewers. I had high expectations of this game because of the many positive reviews and the cheap price. The expectations where totally deflated when I realized how small the actually screen display was while playing the game. I've never had to deal with such an annoying small display ever in my PC gaming experience. Along with the poor dialogue and story, the opening was even worse. Every time you restart the game after quitting, you are taken to the beginning screen, when you should be taken to the load/save option. I admit this is a small detail to dislike, but none the less, it is unacceptable for an adventure game.
Battles are unique. There are three types of battles, and each type is smoothly spread through-out the game. One-on-one battles are rare, but their rarity wasn't disappointing, and I honestly didn't miss them. Tactic, war-time battles were often, but most of the time there was a predetermined win-lose situation; disappointing, but there are times when your brain is actually necessary. And finally, your average "fight monsters with your party" battles. You get six people to fight against the monsters, and combining their abilities can actually mean win or loss. Combination attacks, Runes (magic), weapons, stats, range... All of them are important in creating your party. You cannot just throw together a bunch of people and expect to win without doing something, whether sharpening their weapons, giving them tons of armor, or placing them in the back row and (hopefully) out of harm's way. For example, a mage in the front will do no good since mage's often have low defense, but placing a high-defense warrior in the front can make for a living, fighting barricade. I think Suikoden II is one of the few games where you actually have to use your head.
It is Hands Down The Best N64 game you can find....Get this masterpiece and play it for all it's worth....It's also a very hard game too...Well I found it hard...But over all it's one hell of a ride...
9713 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this game for my daughter and she get's very frustrated with this game! It is difficult for a child to figure out what to do next. I wish we had a guide book/hint book for this game as it would make it a lot easier during those very (and I do mean very) frustating times!
- Vandal Hearts
586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Originally playing Rogue Leader (Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2), it's great to get back to the keystone that started the whole franchise. While not allowing for some of the more advanced gameplay from future games, this product is and was fantastic for the age of N64 era gaming. A much needed classic to add to the collection for sure.
All that said, there is a lot to like about FFVIII. But there are a few areas where I felt the game was lacking. Mainly I feel that the story is somewhat disjointed. Not wanting to spoil anything here I'll keep out a lot of the details. But the basic story pits you as a "SeeD" - a sort of elite mercenary group created for the purpose of quelling the powerful Sorceresses that influence the land. It sounds great but I feel that Square never really delivered in making my party of teenagers a believable band of elite mercs. The basic motivation is there but it's presented in an awkward way. Often characters make the strangest decisions or say the goofiest things that can probably be attributed to some cultural differences between Japanese and American cultures. I think this game could have used some additional polish and time in localization. The ending in the game is just outright poor in my opinion.
This my friends, is a true classic. Sonic 2 not only puts to rest any worries one would've had with a Sonic sequel, but it improved greatly upon the original game as well! I'd have to say that this is probably the single best and most well-designed Sonic game ever made (although Sonic CD is still my personal favorite, and hooking Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles together truly makes the best sonic game). Sonic 1 had awesome level structures, cool music, and fun gameplay, but its sequel takes those aspects to the next level of greatness. In addition to what's already established, this game adds great things like the Speed Dash, Tails/Miles the fox, chemical plants, 2 player competition modes, the 7th chaos emerald, the Death Egg ship, corkscrew tunnels, oil oceans, speedy bonus stages, coconut throwing monkeys, the starpost, and Super Sonic. Take a look at all the stuff that makes this game great and the (very) few small quibbles that it falls short:
Sonic Adventure
2457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game arrived in a bubble envelpoe and worked perfectly!
4270 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought the games seperate, but it was worth it. I love StarCraft. I love all the talking and the intros-meetings at the beginning of each mission. My other fave part is blowing up the bases. I love the walking around killing people thing, while my father likes the base building thing. I'm 13, and violence makes this game better. My father and I are strategy game addicts. We have them all: Both StarCrafts, Both Dark Reigns, A Bridge Too Far, Age Of Empires, Ceasar 3, Tiberian Sun (Command and Conquer) and probably more then that. I love these game, my fave side is the humans. My fave character was what's her name the lady who turns into a alien and takes over the Zerg.... Well buy this, cuz you get a guide too.
Later something happens to Brad, which I won't ruin for those who haven't played it yet, but when I saw "him" I was scared knowing he was after me. The best part is that he chases you through the whole game, popping up when you least expect it.
Sound/Music: The soundtrack to Perfect Dark largely consists of a more futuristic Bond-style music where it's a bit more ambient and mysterious with moments where it gets really exciting and cinematic. The voice acting however can be a bit sketchy since it's not really overracted but rather it sounds rather flat at times while other times it works or its comical.
4493 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is Civ2 in a new world (so I guess we could also call it Civ2: After our rocket landed). The interface is pretty much the same, if we neglect optical changes. From 30 nations we got 7 factions, which are specialized (in Civ2 there were no special abilities), so you have to know from the beginning, to which type you are most suited. Automation is by my opinion not very helpful, the most helpful thing is building queue, which enables you to forget many smaller cities until they grow to size 4 or 5 (then you must check every such city or bigger ones regularly, if you want to make enough progress). Great bonuses can be won from the seas (not usable in Civ2) and City improvements and Wonders are little more numerous than in Civ2. The whole scene is almost too dark and morbid (Alpha Centauri is a sun, therefore a planet could at least have a little light!), it runs very slowly (units travel as they would take sedatives all time) and the diplomacy is very limited (as is perhaps in real life, but every faction leader is tremendously aggressive). Therefore best start for you is even more essential than in Civ2, if you fall back at the beginning, it will be very hard for you to gain back what you missed. The terrain is extremely unpleasant and it can also be of great importance, where you land. I had best experience with the science faction (Zakharov), because I was able to overcome my opponents through technology. The game is very uneven from the beginning (if you don't get a good draw, you are soon in trouble) and it could run much faster. That took away one star for her. Otherwise - if you like Civ2 and if you don't mind too much about this lacks, it's no question - buy it. If you expect another revolution form Sid, lean back, play another Civ 2 and wait for part 3.
Replay Value: You get medals for doing well enough in every stage. I'm told that if you get medals in every stage, you can unlock secret missions like the Battle of Hoth from Empire Strikes back and the Death Star run. If that's not incentive to beat this game 100%, what is?
1797 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So happy to play this game again! Highly recommend for Spyro fans who want to play the Spyro series when it was good before it became the lame games that are the Skylanders series. This is quality up until the end of the The Legend of Spyro trilogy. A MUST HAVE!
1959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Star Fox 64 again right before the new one came out. I wish Nintendo did the same.
Several things feel tacky- the 1-ups and coins are small, dark, ugly looking, and clumsily made due to less than spectacular graphics and game design, and overall Super Mario 64 is just a really lackluster and highly overrated game. If not for influence, this game would have been forgotten and the superior Super Mario Galaxy series would have prevailed even more dominantly than they already do. Oh and don't even mention the cake-eating storyline. It's atrocious. The fact they brought it back for the Galaxy series makes me want to vomit.
The violence isn't *that* bad really!
5287 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always been a fan of racing games. When I first saw this game at a friend's house, I couldn't believe someone would waste their money on what seemed like such a stupid game. Finally, my buddy got me to play it. I was hooked. This game is probably more addicting than even the hardest of drugs. It may seem silly to just want to play a game that you seem to do the same thing on a daily basis. At first, that really is all you do in the game. As you play it more, you start to discover that there is so much more to it. I wouldn't call it a "life simulator", but it is actually a very good game for teaching little lessons. It makes you REALLY micromanage your time. Due to how short the days are, you can't really sit there and piddle away your time, or you will be out of time. There are so many little activities you can do in the game, too. If you want to ONLY work with crops and play the bare minimum of the game structure, you can do so. If you do, you are severely limiting the game, though. If you want to raise animals, you can. Don't forget to feed them, though. If you keep forgetting, they will die.
The music, in keeping with Castlevania tradition, is gothic, rock, and gothic rock (Read: excellent). The music sounds even BETTER on the soundtrack CD. Definitely some classy orchestral music in there, too...
First, even in 1996 its graphics were hardly awe-inspiring, but it had a few things really going for it. It computer-generated textures (one of the early games to do so) and it would use the cities and countrysides generated in SimCity and let you "fly through them". And it runs on the most primitive pc, requiring very little in the way of computer resources.
Final Fantasy V was good. While I think FF6 was a little better, this is the first time FF5 was released in the US. It was interesting, and obviously the predecessor of the job system used in Final Fantasy Tactics. I think it was worth playing.
Ratings
COmbat is never really one sided however if you don't build up your levels (by the end of Disk one should be level 40 or higher for the whole party) you will be whipped.
I had one glaring problem, it wouldn't install or run on Windows 2000. Maybe I could have gotten it to run if I had hunted down and hand-installed all the files. It ran without a single hitch on Windows 98SE.
When I saw that Dreamcast was based on DirectX (the same programming API as Windows for the PC) I was very excited, because I was sure that there would be a flood of titles for the Dreamcast. There are many more titles for Dreamcast but the flood of PC cross overs never materialized and the few that did come (Urban Chaos, Rainbow Six) were bad.
142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My 5 year old son decided to murder my gamepad, and this is EXACTLY what i needed to repair it. The damage appeared to be from a red ink pen which he furiously scrubbed into the screen after he removed my screen protector(not a good day for anyone). The touch screen and its hard cover were both damaged.
4351 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Just so you know, I am only going to discuss single-player version because I never tried multi-player.
There is only one minor quibble about "Rogue Squadron". In the game designers' quest to make a very demanding game, they make some of the levels almost too hard to defeat even with the highest level of skill. The most glaring example of this is the level 'Raid on Sullust'. Flying as a (supposedly) heavily armored Y-Wing, one is supposed to be able to fly skillfully and defeat the mission. However, the board is heavily populated with missile turrets that defend each of the 12-15 targets that must be hit. With skillful flying, it may be possible to knockout 3 or 4 of those targets and corresponding guns and turrets before dying, but on the life, it's likely the next ship could be destroyed in less than 10 seconds. With only 3 ships per mission, it's impossible to defeat that mission without using the 'unlimited lives' cheat code (which will NOT be revealed here). However, there's no shame in using that code, and it is necessary if one intends to achieve the silver or gold medals. So, it's a minor annoyance.
2655 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Alpha 3 is the culmination of everything Capcom had worked towards with their fighting games. Everyone knows Capcom has the habit of sticking to similar concepts for several games in a row (Mega Man, Resident Evil, etc), but in no other case has the last game in a series before a major change been so fulfilling.
You play as Megaman: exploring ruins, fighting pirates, and just helping people out. There are a lot of side quests you can do. You can join a secret gang, fill a museum with underground arts, help a little girl recover, play in game shows, and so much more. The main storyline has you exploring the Sub-Gate ruins in hopes to learn more about the Island's great treasure, or disaster. While in Sub-Gates you can find all kinds of items to do things with. It's not just in the Sub-Gates either; you can search in other digging sites for parts. You have a primary weapon called a Buster Gun, which can be upgraded with 2 buster parts initially. These buster parts can be bought or found and change different aspects of your Buster Gun's shooting. You have a secondary special weapon that can be equipped and upgraded as well. You will get many different special weapons in the game and one of the most fun parts of the game is upgraded your weapons to perfect ability.
Even more fun, they even added some extras. I believe you might have to beat the game to unlock them, but they are also great to play through.
7799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 yea, it works
Crash's world is not fully 3-D in this game (in fact up till Crash Twinsanity, none of them have been), but it is very good as far as it goes. The VIRTUAL world looks like the REAL world. That's one of the game's strongest points. The controls are very solid and Crash responds amazingly well to your commands. This spoiled me. I'd play a Crash game and then go play something else with looser controls and be upset by the lack of response. I became versatile after a while though. Crash lacks moves in this game, but he has more then Sonic and/or Mario had in their debut games. Crash has 3, Mario and Soinc only had 1. Crash's moves are running, jumping, and spinning. The spinnig move is an extremely creative thing. To make up for Sonic's spin, Naughty Dog brought out the bigger and better guns. Crash's spin is much easier to control and is much more effective. It also doesn't threaten you in a strange, almost indescribable way. Sonic's spin reqired that you dash in the direction that you were facing before you started spinning. Sega called this the spin dash. This could throw you to your death. Not Crash's. Crash could move or stay still when spinning. Note: Soinc didn't have the spin dash in his debut game. Mario and Sonic's jumping, I'll admit, was better. They were tighter then Crash. Their direction could be changed much, much easier then Crash when jumping. Crash jumps higher though. Crash runs kind of slow, especially when you need to get something done. But he's slower in Crash Twinsanity. Crash's camera control is hardly ever a problem. Every once in a while you'll have to strain your eye a little, but it's still a better camera then Soinc's. Mario's is best out of all, though, 'cause you could see the entire level all at once.
5954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is great but you really need to buy the Expansion pack. The extra features make the game worth it. I have been playing for too many weeks now and need to stop but I can't.
4134 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I play on Windows 7, so I've noticed some color problems in the start up and menu screens. However, once I start playing, it seems to work just fine. As for game play, lots has been written about that. I just wanted to mention that it does work on Win 7 systems. Also, my games save just fine.
4342 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been playing this game since I was a kid and still play it today. Its an amazing game and would highly recommend it to any pilot.
I tried to rub off the marker thinking it wasn't permanent marker but all that did was make it purple... so note to yourselves people, not everything comes in "Very Good" condition like they claim.
SCORE: 5-5
The graphics are still pretty solid after all these years and the music and sound affects are awesome (Hey. This is Blizzard. What did I expect?). The story is very intriguing and quite surprising at the end. Very well put together. And each unit for each race is different as are the buildings. With most RTS games, each faction has different units, but they are usually only different in design and name. They do the same thing the other factions units do. But in Starcraft, you really need to know what units do to succeed. For the Zerg, they have Hydralisks that when seperate are pretty weak, but when you group them up and have them attack one target at a time, they are very strong and a group of 10 or 12 can wipe out an army or buildings very quickly. Very unique units and buildings.
One thing that has always drawn me back to playing Diablo is the ability to create a private game. Luckily, this is still in the game, and better! Now you can have 7 friends join you in the quest to destroy evil. You can be anti-social and social at the same time!
Personally, it's my favorite games out of any system. Had it as a chap. It's safe and fair to say that I have beaten it over 100 times now (5 just today). It only takes 20-30 minutes to beat, so that may be a downside, but the replay value kicks so much butt. You put it down for 10 minutes and then are aching to play it again!
To conclude, although aged, this title still glimmers within my collection. For classic gamers, this is a must.
961 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This mario kart is my favorite of any in the series, and i am so glad i bought it because i have had so much fun
6153 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought my N64 from Misfit Games and Comics. Let me start off saying this. I was expecting the console to get to me beat up, dirty and aged. After all it is a 20 year old Console. When i opened up the package this thing was in prestine Condition for being marked as used. It came with power cable, av cable, and an original controller. The cool thing about this is the stick of the controller had little to no play in it whatso ever, this thing had barely been used, very uncommon today to see one in this condition. i was expecting to have to get an aftermarket stick. ( which i will once steelsticks are in the market) the only thing i can say that didn't make this purchase 1 of a kind is the fact it did not have an expansion pack, just a jumper pack. but that is ok. seller did not mention it would come with the expansion anyways so i knew what i was getting myself into on that. I cant wait to get this thing all hooked up and playing goldeneye again. winner winner chicken dinner
983 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even for a Gamecube and PS2 owner, for me this is the game that started it all. And while old, Goldeneye is still exhilerating. I was stupid enough to trade in my Goldeneye copy for a nwer but NOT better game. Don't make the same mistake that I did, please! It is hard to get your hands on a good copy of Goldeneye these days. Protect your Goldeneye games! This game lives up perfectly to the movie, and for a 1997 game, the graphics and sound are excellent! Sure, Nightfire's fun, but it never revolutionized the gaming world like Goldeneye did. Goldeneye shoots TWINE and Agent Under Fire out of the sky. Nightfire can't even hold its ground against this solid and superb N64 title. In Goldeneye, you will encounter all of the characters and locations from the Goldeneye film, and the single player campaign holds its ground. But multiplayer is where the game really shines, and it is so much better than Timesplitters or Timesplitters 2 even. I have not played Goldeneye for over a year, but the music rings in my head and I have the levels memorized perfectly. Even if you worship your Perfect Dark copy, I believe that Goldeneye is better, and I have a strong debate on that. The bottom line is that Goldeneye is the BEST FPS EVER CREATED!! It boils down to this:if you own an N64, please play your Goldeneye copy or if you don't even know what this wonderful game is about, buy it now! Hey, all X-Box owners, Goldeneye is even better than Halo! There's no debate on that. Buy the game that started it all! My Rating:9.9!!
When I say A blast from the past, I mean that Sonic Heroes is one of his old games, blown up into 3D, (New stages, of course...)
UT's mods are the greatest. From Strike Force to Airfight (flight sim) to Tactical Ops, there is no denying that these addons challenge even those of the mighty Half-Life.
9238 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Max Payne has been in development for approximately 4 years, and it took all that time to publish a [...] game that doesn't include a multiplayer mode, very, very few cut scenes, and one boring character who has the constant look of constipation or a reaction to "stinky feet" on his face 100% of the time, it's really very annoying.
3995 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked being a Cocoon Master. I liked hearing old legends told by the voice of the old wise man. And I liked a RPG who deals with respect for environment. When I accidentally slayed some minions I really felt sorry. And I had a lot of fun merging those funny little beasts. Buy it, if you are tired of the usal 'fight the evil one' RPG.
4626 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Years after Fallout and Fallout 2 came into being I had replayed the first one over 10 times. The second, several times, though not so many only because it is much longer and more in-depth. This series was so great because of the simple fact that it is doubtlessly the least linear game I've ever met. There were so many quests to complete, and each outcome small or large created repercussions throughout the game. It was hilarious but at the same time one of the most violent things at the time (though hardly even close by todays violent standards). The violence was fun, interactions with various characters you meet were fun, the satire of just about everything from scientology (even Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) to karate flicks to sci-fi greats, with even nods to more recent pop culture like South Park. The breadth of the game still astounds me.
2783 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works as designed. Very nice item.
Reaper.
4300 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An old gaming buddy of mine, Stooge_Baal, introduced me to Homeworld, and when I first played it I had some misgivings about the game.
So for the veteran flight simer, this is an EXCELLENT simulator.
The main problem with an online RPG is, in my opinion, the lack of meaning or a goal. At least in the beginning. You just wander around and kill things. There's no quests. There's no nothing. Just wandering around in this huge (note: to get an idea of how huge it really is, read Douglas Adam's description of infinity in "The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy") world. Another things that really bothers me, is the fact that you have to pay a monthly fee ($... in this case) to play a game you initially paid a fair sum of money for (in my case, $...). Why is this? I'm sure there are some expences in keeping the servers going, but not $... a month for each player. On Microsoft's webpages, it said that there were over 200k people playing the game. Multiply that number by $... and you get the staggering amount of $... a month (no way it costs that much to maintain the servers). Capitalism rules, I guess.
8135 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not really into shoot-em-up games, so maybe this is so fun for me because I don't get killed off right away. I like this game because it is simple, it's fun to advance through the levels, and I actually like the techno music soundtrack. The graphics are simple, but colorful and playful. And the titles at the start of each level are funny. This isn't sophisticated or anything, but it's always something I like to play when I'm bored, and it can keep me busy for hours.
The weapons human enemies carry vary from regular old pistols to flame throwers. There are also Doberman's, sharks, eels, tigers, vultures, rats and spiders. Plus some swordsmen in the Floating Islands, you'll see...
*Starts off pitifully easy, gets painfully impossible somewhat towards the end. Some missions come down to luck, when you're actually revived after a death near a helpful weapon.
7585 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Stay FAR AWAY! Read comment section below....
The second was the amazing graphics and cut scenes. Of course, neither are nearly as good as the more recent stuff, but again it was revolutionary at the time and everybody loved it. Combining the "fun" elements of RPGs that were already present with a deeper story and amazing graphics and it is no wonder this is one of the most beloved games of all time.
8703 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First: My review system was a P3-450, 96 megs of SDRAM and a RIVA TNT2 card. Well, well, well. This game certainly is a conundrum. I wanted to love it, and indeed, contained inside this ambitious design are some jaw-dropping moments, side-splitting humor, and genuine fun the likes of which I've not experienced since classics like Half-Life. Unfortunately, along for the ride are some game destroying crash bugs and glitches. Well, that's life, but it leaves you wondering what this game could have been.
To the game's credit they do provide both "military" and "cultural" paths to completing your ascension to Pharoah. This allows you to be a GREAT GENERAL (military) or a RENOWNED CITY BUILDER (mostly peaceful) and still achive the game's goals.
5222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 in my opinion, this is thee best video game EVER. a game that encourages you NOT to shoot but instead to sneak around. very chilling, exciting, fun and entertaining. you play solid snake, a combo of bond and snake pliskin character type. you enter the enemy compound to do many tasks(i would rather not spoil the fun by telling anything to ruin your fun). let me say, if you do not own this and you like games and you like spy games or games of this nature then YOU NEED THIS and will not be disappointed. it is a great storyline and an awesome game which make for good and intersting fun all around
9621 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Soldier of Fortune is a smart, graphically good looking and easy to get into game but doesn't quite come up to the masterpiece that is Half Life. It's not as smooth and the levels are too short to get completely involved in the atmosphere of a particular location.
Characters:
9604 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I may be somewhat prejudiced, but Final Fantasy Tactics remains one of my favorite games, despite the fact that I am not generally a fan of tactical games.
This game is nearly 20 years-old and I still think it's totally awesome.
5584 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it takes you through so many moods just like the other great ff's. You are in a flying school. wonderful.
This was the first truly different FF, and while I do prefer the fantasy setting, it's nice to see something new. The only reason I gave FF VIII 4 stars instead of five is the fact that the story, while it does get better as the game goes along, starts getting worse toward the end (and pretty confusing). Other than that, FF VIII is a nice addition to the FF series, and totally underrated.
386 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 very boring game. The graphics are the average 64 graphics that many 64 games had at the time. Very dull textures. Even though this game has a neat aspect of movement in every direction, it still lacks fun gameplay. The music is very annoying and i have heard better on the SNES system quality wise. I don't reccomend this game even if you are a collector.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that this game had me totally floored back in 1994 (which led to me spending an ENTIRE summer playing the game, much to my mother's displeasure) but I'm afraid over time I've began to notice a few small problems that make it very hard for me to give the game a perfect grade. Keep in mind I think Super Metroid is still, after all these years, one of the best adventure/shooters ever made, but I can't give in to childhood memories and whip out a 5-star rating. Sorry! One problem is the challenge. This game is incredibly easy. I can't believe so many people find it difficult to progress through the game. Come on, those nasty space pirates you fight in the beginning part of the game only require ONE hit to defeat! It's funny how something so nasty-looking can be defeated so easily!
4000 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Tremor Pak, where to begin? It rumbles harder than the SEGA Jump Pack. Most SEGA brand Jump Packs and/or Puru-Puru Packs that I have owned stopped working after six months or so of everyday play, whereas one Tremor Pak in my main DC controller lasted from Sept 15th, 1999 (when I bought it and my first Dreamcast) to sometime in the summer of 2001, and I put a heck of a lot of time into my Dreamcast in those days. I would literally play Crazy Taxi (since its release on 02/01/00) for at least 2 hours a day, all on the same Tremor Pak. Oddly enough, my first Tremor Pak died when the day before Crazy Taxi 2 hit the stores. So when I picked up my copy of Crazy Taxi 2, I then bought six more Tremor Paks, at 5 bucks a pop, figuring that they'd be gone once the GameCube and XBOX take what is left of Dreamcast shelf space. I don't play my Dreamcast as much now. But I do still play it. Also, I still have 5 Tremor Paks still in their boxes, still in shrink-wrap.
If an overhaul of the game was in store, I feel that the designers could have put more technologies into the game as well as a better variety of attack/defense units considering it covers so much time. (2000BC - 3000AD?)
Get this Donkey Kong Land game, it is the most challenging and most interesting of the three. I have all 3 and I played them a lot, the first one is very dull and has loads of glitches, and horrible graphics, the pixels on the screen of this game are all choppy because of the limited colors these games offer.
2954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The highest grossing Final Fantasy game, and still beating out other Final Fantasy sales on the PSN. One who cannot understand the complexity, maturity, imagination, and heart that went into its story would be the kind to give it a rating of one or even be foolish enough to compare it to Final Fantasy VI.
One of the best action-packed single-player games...
8835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is unbelievably good for a game made over ten years ago, and the more amzing thing is that it is still fun to play nowadays, not necessarily because of graphics (which are really good for 15 years ago, almost), but because of the great gameplay and wide selection of characters, not all human, in fact, only a couple are, making it a lot more fun with a variety of distinct characters. There is no game like this one. You might say mortal kombat is, but thats just the gameplay, not the characters and cool moves you can do with them.

5966 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 If you like clicking banners and advertisements off your screen you will love this game, cause thats all it is, clicking annoying flying/popping graphics off your screen.
The case itself was clean and works fine. No problems at all :)
the result was the sega dreamcast, and it was incredible. the Dreamcast was a marvel of processing power and high quality graphics.. which to the average gamer means ..a powerhouse in consoles, and more important excellent games to come your way.
- world map graphics
2555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when I was 6 years old. This my most favorite thing in the world on NES. Now it is back again on game boy color. This time it has ton of extras such as 32 new levels if you beat the game twice and challenges for each level such as collecting red coins or finding Yoshi eggs. You can also race against boo on certain levels. This is a great game. Just like the original but with tons of extras.
6473 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 All around GREAT game! One of the finest playstation has to offer. Everything from the menu interface, the fluid 1st person gameplay, to the difficulty of missions... Simply amazing. It would be perfect, if only their were more levels... Don't get me wrong, 20+ missions kept me busy for over a month, but once you complete the final objective, you feel an emptiness. A fantastic void that alters your perception on how video games should leave you after the final level. Oh yeah.. it's that good. One of the best features this title has is fully orchestrated background music. It draws you completly into the main character and his surroundings. I haven't had a chance to play much multiplayer, but the little Ive experienced, it definitly gets my vote. So stop wasting your time reading reviews and just get it! Besides the Medal of Honor: Underground sequal, I have yet to find any other action games that match up to Medal of Honor. Good good times.
396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Legends is one of the rare Megaman releases that takes place in a 3D world as opposed to the traditional 2D side scroller most MM fans are familiar with. Both Legends and Legends 2 are among some of the best made story driven 3D adventure games the PSX has in its massive and sometimes daunting library.
4275 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've played this game for hours and hours and hours. It is amazingly addictive. The graphics are beautifully rendered, the interaction seamless and the possibilities endless.
The MSFS2000 Pro edition is worth the extra buck. The extra aircraft are -Beech King Air- 2 engine turboprop. -Concorde- Mach 2 SST(Super Sonic Transport). -777 300- 2 engine jet transport. -Moony Bravo- 1 prop speed craft
But there's one major, and I mean MAJOR problem with this game. This game is so addictiive that you might forget about everything else in life. Remember your family? You won't when you get this game, since you'l be wanting to play this game even more. A Anyways, get the game.
1477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To begin this review firsthand if you're the hi-res FPS and all those sophisticated functions make you happy?then by all means enjoy. The graphics are 2D and you can't duck behind rocks to shoot or yield two weapons at a time...this is old-school baby! So 'why rate this game so highly' you might ask?well here's why I like this particular Doom...
I have beaten this role playing game multiple times and still find it just as entertaining as the first day i picked it up. It is truly a gilded great, and that's not just a funny phrase. Anyone who has looked for this game in recent years has probably found it ranging from $55 to $250! I will certainly say, I am grateful I never sold this game, and if you ever obtain it, you will not be disappointed.
*Doom in general is just pulsing with atmosphere:from a listening perspective you can hear the monsters growling or the raspy sounds of the Imps down the hall which does mess with your head especially if they're blindsiding you. Flickering lights,stumbling into a room that's completely and full of monsters,or hitting a switch that unleashes a ton of monsters...defend yourself or die! The dark mood that Doom provides is very thick for early 90's fare.
Most everyone who's played the games already knows the story, but for those who haven't, here's a brief synopsis: A strange murder occurrence just outside of Raccoon City has caused Police officials to be suspicious, so they sent two Special Tactics and Rescue Squad (STARS) teams to go investigate. You play as either Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield, both of them surviving STARS members. The teams end up getting stuck in the mountains, so they eventually find themselves inside a huge mansion, where the STARS members discover numerous creatures such as zombies, mutilated dogs, giant spiders, and other monsters. These were all created due to Umbrella Corporation's disastrous T-Virus. As the game goes along, more important discoveries are made.
Then you got a boss who is very fast & strong
4374 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome. It is still topping best-selling lists after all these years. A great buy.
9885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay for starters. I am offical a member of the 1 member ABBA (anti Brain Bat Association). If you have played this game, found the optional dungeon, fought those little buggers at a lower level, you know why. (BABOOM)
5508 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Winaback: Covert Operations was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 and while it wasn't as popular as other games, it soon had a cult following for the simple fact that it's a good Metal Gear Solid clone. It borrows all the elements that made the PS1 hit title great while putting its own spin on the "terrorists threaten to blow up the world" story. There's no denying where the developers of the game looked for inspiration and for the most part, it pays off.
Fun: 7/10
- Turn based RPG
GRAPHICS:By today's standards these are horrible. At the time though they were pretty decent. They are well enough though to navigate through the 3 vast distrcts.
The only real problem with the game is lack of direction. It is never quite clear what you are supposed to do next so you spend alot of time wandering around waiting for something to happen. Other than that, its a good game. Also, replay value is fairly low because nothing really changes. All in all, a good, easy and fun game to kill a few hours with.
The PROS: Capcom had held the license to make games based on Disney properties. Aladdin looks and sounds great thanks to its bright graphics, excellent music, sound effects and even includes songs featured in the movie. The controls are spot on so controlling Aladdin is never an issue. Once you finish a stage, you are given a password so it's easy to stop where you are and continue your progress later.
Highly recommended. The first thing I said, out loud, when I played this and flew through the air in slow mo was, "Ohmygod, this is so wicked cool!" 'Nuff said.
My initial impression of Final Fantasy VII was slack-jawed stupefaction at how incredible it looked. Today's gamers who are accustomed to BioShock, Odin Sphere, and HDTV consoles with 1080p or 4K display might scoff at the comparatively blocky and clunky graphics of Final Fantasy VII's iconic opening FMV. But in 1997-- back when FMV itself was still a novelty and kind of a big deal-- the general reception of the first two minutes of Final Fantasy VII was eye-popping astonishment. I can almost guarantee that anybody who played Final Fantasy VII when it was first released-- even people who bash it now, as FFVII-deprecation becomes more and more in vogue with the upcoming PS4 remake-- was shocked into silence during the game's first half-hour. Even if their interest tapered off further into the game, I don't think many players can honestly say the their first hectic glimpse into Final Fantasy VII's world didn't knock them off their feet. If Final Fantasy IV's dynamic opening sequence was pretty impressive to players who grew up with the series 8-bit iterations, Final Fantasy VII's introduction was nothing short of mind-blowing.
478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 LOVE IT
1686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now u can have all of the classic games on ur ps1. It has many things to do on it unstead of just playing the original arcade game. What u can do is walk around the museum and look at all of the game rooms or just explore and see what is there. Each room that u walk in that is a game has a really cool movie clip before u play them. There is this one room that tells u all of the info about games and when they came out and how popular they were. Which is awsome to learn about it. The graphics in the museum r great for the ps1 but when u play the arcade games they got changed from the original by a tiny bit and the music is more clear. It has many of the classics that u can play single or multiplayer on which is fun. When u get this game don't think all there is is the arcade games in it, there is much more than that. It is an awsome game.
801 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I say about this game? I bought it to replace one that was stolen when I was a kid. It's great to hear those classic sound effects and that legendary music. EPIC.
1864 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, Thanks
Graphics are beyond it's years.
6704 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Eternal Champions is an awesome game....for Sega CD.This version of it for Genesis is total crap. First of all,the game is almost IMPOSSIBLE to beat. You'll have one hell of a time just getting past the first fight. What makes it even worse is there is no way to adjust the difficulty level on this game neither. Another bad thing about this stinker is when you lose a match,you gotta keep hitting reset over and over again if you wanna change your fighter. This game sucks. There IS some history behind this game though. This was the very first exclusive fighting game that went straight to Genesis,and that wasn't in the arcade first. But that little history lesson doesn't save this terrible game. Oh and did I mention that you need a six button controller to play this game too?...You can play it with a three button pad,if you like to keep hitting the start button over and over again to change your punches into kicks. My best advice to you is to stay as far away from this game as you can,and pick up the Sega CD version of it.
- Birthed modern day "stealth" gameplay
Sound, unlike most FPS games, is one of the key elements of gameplay in "Thief." Sound can give your enemies away, just as it can give you away to their ears. Sound can be used to distract and confuse your enemies as well. Different surfaces yield different sounds, and changing your walking speed can dramatically effect the sounds you make. Walking on wood yields a hollow thump, while walking on grass makes a gentle crunching noise. Walking on stone gives off a harsh clacking, but walking on carpet is nearly silent. Walking on metal produces a resounding clang which can be heard for quite a ways. The sounds you make become your enemies as much as the sounds your enemies make become your friends. Sound is an important tool in this game, unlike any other.
3988 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 In the exact sense of the word, the game cheated me. The suspense built up by the time you finish the third level culminates in one of the most shocking and innovative pieces of plot I have seen to date. What's the problem? The remainder of the plot is a piteous attempt to bring the innovation and tie it onto the "and all was well" ending.
7301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you think all racing games are about running around in a circle you will be really amazed if you give this a chance. Its awesome. The speed is breathtaking,the music is great and the graphics are cool too. In other words its a trip and a half. You play as well known star Captain Falcon and you race across the galaxy and plus you can choose the difficulty levels. Must buy. It will change the way you look at racing games forever.
5090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely stunning graphics, incredible gameplay and the best bot AI ever. This game is packed with value, with far more levels and game variations than Quake 3. The UT single-player experience is also more rewarding. I blew past the Q3 single-player game in 2 sittings (at the "Hurt Me Plenty" difficulty), but UT (at the roughly equivalent "Adept" setting) is going to take me a lot longer, because UT has so many more levels, and because the gameplay is deeper than Q3's. This is due, I think, to the slightly slower pace of the game (unlike Q3, a powerful weapon is not always within easy reach) and the much more balanced and varied arsenal.
I give it a 5 out of 5....
Later..
1786 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It doesn't hold up to time, but I can't blame it for that. I honestly bought this for my wife. She said this game was a big part of her childhood. So I decided to buy it, she couldn't get past the first stage and then she gave up and its been home to dust and lint, I know this isn't a review and more of a rant, but its a solid platformer from the past
This game is definitely not for young children as the rating would suggest. There is graphic violence (blood, slow death sequences etc.) and strong language which may be deemed unsuitable for younger gamers.
The graphics are also really great, especially considering some of the Nintendo 64's limits, such as the 2D blood during the Game Over screen.
8268 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fantastic game all around. from gameplay to graphics (at the time anyhow). Even one of the very best game soundtracks ive ever heard. i still play it to this day. this game has an unreal amount of unlockables, and hidden paths. Getting everything can be insanely challenging, but the standard player should be able to at least get all weapons on the normal planes. id recommend this game to people who like contra and those raiden or 1942 games. well worth the $45 dollars thats being charged for it now. i own a copy and i would NEVER sell it!
8686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best racing game ever!!! why? The controls. This game is very easy to control. Which is a huge thing that is missing from every other racing game I have ever played.
308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been wanting one of these for a while. I would find it so annoying having to unplug my cable to plug in my Xbox wires and then having to do the same again when i felt like watching tv. But with this i just have to flip a switch and it's done.
This game is by far more difficult than any other Doom.
This is a must-buy game for anyone who even casually enjoyed AE I. The expanded features and updated graphics give you a whole new realm to explore, command and conquer. Time to move up to the Age of Kings. Good luck!
Be careful not to bleed out!... Seriously though, not just a joke but an extremely annoying game mechanic.
Overall: This game is OK, but could have been A LOT better. with its cute and cuddly characters to the beautiful islands This game could have been one of the best and well know PlayStation games, BUT, it is only half that. Oh Nostalgia. You betray me again. 6.6 but for GameSpot's score system 6.5/10
As if that was not enough to go out and get this game, arguably the best trademark of all the Silent Hill games is its ability to explain the chaotic world of Silent Hill through suggestion, rather than the answers being spelled out for you in dialog or movie scenes (cutscenes). This is a trick the Japanese in general have implemented and mastered over the years. Often the end result leaves a lot of topics open to discussion on Silent Hill forums. It's usually up to the player to make an effort at interpreting the horror.
5710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 (Spoiler free review)I first got Final Fantasy 8 as a Christmas present back in 1999. I remember at the time it was THE game to have. I think I only ended up playing the game once, then I threw it back in its case. After 10 years, I finally picked it back up and decided to give it another try (why I don't know). So what are my impressions of the game after 10 long years? Well, there are good and bad things about this game, just like all games. When you first start playing the game, the first thing you notice is the graphical images. The Final Fantasy team put a lot of time into the design of this game and even today it's still pretty.
Different type of trains and several campaigns which I love
I realize that some people aren't interested in multiplayer and certainly there is enough here in the game to keep a solo player happy. However, those who do love multiplayer will be in for a treat. The game does an excellent job of keeping all sides engaged in the battle. I happen to love the multiplayer aspect here.
7816 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Don't get me wrong, its an ok game, its kinda fun, at the same time I don't see why this game is so amazing. The music is suppose to be good, I thought it didn't do the SNES sound chip any justice. Gameplay is quite repetitive, I know a lot of games can be repetitive but its a repition that bores me. Your constantly locating stuff, that got boring. But I will say, if I was bored or just killing time before I go out it would be good for a few rounds to play. The story line is pretty impressive, so I guess the game deserves props in that area. The game is good in its own little ways, but I just don't rank it up there with some of the other classics. I have some friends that love this game, so I guess I respect it for what it is.
9823 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Batman Returns on Genesis is a challenging game. The first couple of hours of play then death, repeat ad nauseum, I was too frustrated to continue for a while. All of what I chocked up to cheap deaths, bad collision detection, etc., really would have marred my opinion on this game. I've never been more happy to be wrong. I ended up picking it up not long after, and I'm glad I did. Though Batman Returns can manage to be a frustrating video game, it certainly isn't a bad one.
4573 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had another B-17 game some years ago. This one is significantly different. This is a real challenge! First, the instrumentation and interior graphics are very good.
6462 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fun WW2 game with great sound and nice graphics. Though the graphics are dated today it's still fun for those who like retro and/or war games.
413 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since I was young, I have been in love with the Tekken series. Brings back a lot of good memories. I bought this game to bring back the memories and the fun. Though the graphics aren't as top notch at games these days are, but it's still an entertaining game to play. If you collect either Tekken stuff or video games, this is a must own.
8019 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember growing up with the port of this to the GBA, and when I finally got a SNES I knew that this was going to be one of the first games I got. Didn't disappoint
4570 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has many levels and tons of characters to go along with them. Tricks, tricks, and more tricks: that describes this game. Plenty and plenty of game play. If you love skateboarding, get this game.
9479 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game claims to be the sequel to Super Mario World, though the two are very different. Both are Mario platforming titles, but Yoshi's Island is played a little differently. Baby Luigi has been kidnapped and it's up to his brother Mario and his Yoshi friends to save him from Kamek and Baby Bowser. Play as Yoshi and defeat enemies by turning them into eggs and throwing the eggs. Find and collect all 20 red coins, 5 flowers, and 30 stars to get a perfect score. Transform into lots of different vehicles to get past dangerous obsticles. Yoshi's Island is fun for all ages!
Later...
What I also like about the game is the way it somewhat portrays the real Vlad Tepes Dracule, with impaled victims in the background and an equally menacing portrait.
There are more puzzles to conquer and more "treasures" to find..To beat the game, you have to finish the events, find some crystals, which'll add to Tomba's AP total..It may make you dizzy but the act of playing is worth it.
No game since has come close to touching it.
First things first, and probably what you'll initially notice when starting the game, is that the visuals here are outstanding, especially for the time, and it still holds up surprisingly well today. Aladdin (the game, not the character) looks as though you're playing the movie on your console. It really is that good. The color palette is constantly, unabashedly appealing, the character sprites are large, and much like the backgrounds, extensively detailed, and the enemies are all interesting and distinctive due to their aesthetic visual designs. The game looking as good as it does is in no small part to actual Disney animators that worked on the film this is based on animating the in-game sprites. This is the very first game to use this style of animation, and boy, does it show. Character movements are outstandingly fluid, small background animations fare just as well, and all-in-all, this is truly one of the best looking Genesis games you can get your hands on. Vectorman? Who's Vectorman?
728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have n64 this game is a must. This and "perfect dark".
This game really is fun, even though I can't do it's gameplay much justice in this review.
The only reason I'm not giving the game 5 stars is because, for my system, I found it quite buggy. I suffered lots of lockups and assertion errors, as well as the occasional graphics glitch. The third disk had trouble loading at times as well.
Fun: Single-Player: C+ Multi-player: B+
The overall STORY isn't that bad -- the plot is decent and some of the characters interesting. However, our main character is just not generally likeable; Squall has less interesting personality than Cloud Strife of FFVII, and that's a pretty damning indictment since Cloud didn't develop much personality until some way through the game. More importantly, gameplay is if anything more of a railroading exercise than FFVII -- which, given that VII used the metaphor of a railroad from the beginning, is a sad state of affairs.
Groundbreaking.
5707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is pretty good, and is very different from previous Final Fantasies. The equipment system from previous games is almost completely gone, and has been dwarfed by the new magic and summon systems. It's tricky (and somewhat difficult) when you first start out, but it gets easier. The storyline can be a bit confusing though, which can take away from the fun. Some features are missing from the PSOne version too which also takes away from the fun, but a cheat device can easily fix that problem. It's still fun though, despite its shortcomings.
1402 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is it! The ground breaking game that shot the Nintendo 64 sells thorough the roof and off to space! Super Mario 64 is a game that cant be found anywhere else! It is truly amazing in every aspect from stunning graphics to superbly versatile gameplay. I just couldn't believe that this game could be this good even though it is so old!(yes, it is OLD now!) This game was so dang much fun that they even made it for Nintendo DS! If you are looking for one amazing game and own the best system ever made(Nintendo 64-NOT Xbox, Playstsion 2, or Xbox 360) then look for Super Mario 64. You will not be dissapointed. Guaranteed!
4196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just gotta post some love.
8406 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game, while a decent port from the PS version as far as a port goes, is very frustrating. First it's difficult to learn and play, and the graphics sometimes makes gameplay even more difficult. (BTW, it's not really scary.) The most annoying thing for PC gamers is you can't save the game at any point. Instead there are only a limited number of occasions where you can save your progress. The novelty factor is no longer than as there was with the original RE (which was not as novel as the truly original Alone in the Dark).
8565 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It wrecks grate and locks grate
4082 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half-Life deserves more than 5 stars. It is the new king of computer games, Surely the best first person shooter ever made. You play gorden freeman a 27 year old research associate in the Black Mesa research facility. The game has 16 very large and strong levels plus two starting levels and one end game level and it has a game ending that 50% of the gamers would say it is the best ever and 50% would say the worst ever, If you ask me it is the best ending ever for a Pc game story, It has got two great endings a climax and an anti climax. Right from the start you're engaged in events like riding a train to work, finding the locker room and suiting up, and then heading for the test lab. The experiment in the test lab goes very wrong and alien beings are teleported through the portal that opened and the goverment wants to cleanup the mess completly including you. You must fight your way through the aliens and the commandos and be teleported to a distant planet to cleanup the mess that was created. The Game starts and ends on a train. What i really like about half life is that there are no cutsences, The whole story is through the eyes of Gordan, I hate it when games take the controls away from the player.
2609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Must I say more
Don't believe me? Well try this situation on for size: You just cleared out a room full of Imps and Sergeant Zombies with every last round of shotgun ammo you had. You turn the next corner and hello....there's a Baron of Hell. *Change weapon to BFG9000* (...), you only have enough ammo for one shot. You aim, shoot, and barely hit the moron. He's still coming at you....and, as you cycle through your weapons....you notice only your pistol has ammo left. Oh (...). *runs*
5165 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Im writing this review about amazon.com on this game I purchased because either Amazon.com or the Seller has issues. What is pictured is the BLACK labeled for sale and under sellers or Amazon.com have no idea about these things maybe. They also have the greatest hit. So this pretty much is lieing to US the consumer about the product we are trying or about to purchase. Everyone just watch out because if you want the BLACK label game and you may receive the GREATEST HITS version of the game.
This is the type of game you could just live within.
4170 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ROLLER COASTER TYCOON is a prime example that gameplay will get you a lot longer than shiny graphics ever will. The game may be technically infirior to THEME PARK, but RCT makes up for this with a much more addictive gameplay. In short: RCT is probably the most fun you'll ever have running a theme park on your PC.
Gex 3 is the second 3D Gex game and is unique in a few ways. Firstly, none of the levels repeat. In previous Gex games you would encounter multiple levels with the same theme. For example you'd complete a level based on horror films and then later in the game you'ld come across another one. Each level in Gex 3 on the other hand is unique. There is only one level per theme. One Mystery channel, one Anime channel, etc.
BUY THIS GAME!
8102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've read some of the reviews of this game and wondered what was going on. I've played the game and found it to be quite a great game. Sure the challenge is there. This game is like a cross between Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem. There are puzzles and platform features. But there are Duke characteristics to the game such as his humorous one-liners and antics. The learning curve is quite steep but after playing it for a while I got used to the controls. The controls are unorthodox only because the designers tried to fit a lot of moves etc. to the Playstation controller. But you will get used to the controllers if you keep at it. For those that complained that the game is too hard maybe they need to play games that are more suited for them. Video games are supposed to be challenging. Not the spoon-fed garbage that pass as video games but are in actuality interactive novels. Duke Nukem Time To Kill is simply put a great game if you are willing to put in the effort to learn the controls. If you do, you will find a fun game that is worth your time.
2734 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm one of the ten or so people who actually bought a Sega CD and, like many (if not all), I believe this was the best RPG for that otherwise disappointing system. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete brings me back to the good ol' days of RPGs before the likes of Final Fantasy VII and VIII were called the best RPGs ever by newbie gamers who just don't know any better. The story was flawless and breathtaking then, and yet, somehow, it all seems better this time around. What makes Lunar Lunar though is the fact that Working Designs was behind it. They can translate even the lamest games and make them playable (I even bought Shining Wisdom for my Saturn just because of Working Designs!). The people at Working Designs are a bunch of comedians. There are so many jokes in this game it's unbelievable (second only to Final Fantasy IX in humor). The game has received an upgrade in every single way, most notably, the graphics. Yes, the graphics aren't an important part of any game, but it's nice to see that they got an uplift this time around. Back to the story though. Everything about the story is perfect, it's beautiful, it's touching, and it's one of the best in any game I have ever seen. I could go into more detail...but you should really play it for yourself. What surprised me about playing Lunar again was the length of the game. It's pretty long. While not as long as its sequel, it still offers days of fun like I had with the original version. The characters themselves are great. Typical of their RPG times? Yes, but great nonetheless. Especially Alex and Nall, who I just loved. The difficulty of the game is very applaudable as well. Not incredibly difficult, but it's not easy either, and that's just another reason why I love this game so much. The one thing that didn't stand the test of time was the battles. They're very straight-forward and basic, nothing to it at all. It's just tap...tap...tap. Boring indeed. Thankfully the random number of battles isn't frequent. The packaging also needs mention. Lunar:SSSC comes with a nice box that contains a 100+ page leatherette hardbound artbook/instruction manual, a making of Lunar CD, a music CD, and a full-color cloth map. Who loves ya? Working Designs! Unfortunately, new-school gamers might be put off by Lunar's old-school look and feel continuously asking "Where's Bahamut Zero?" This is unfortunate because it looks like Lunar might go back to the cult status it had on the Sega CD instead of selling by the truckloads like it deserves. Oh well...definitely their loss. Nevertheless, this is a masterpiece. Lunar:SSSC should be as mandatory as the controller for PSX owners. Truly one of the best RPGs of all time...hey, you know the drill: If you're a gamer, you owe it to yourself to buy this. Oh yes, don't forget to pick up the sequel as well.
The game had enough of a plot you could figure out what to do next. That is essential rather than blindly clicking on everything you could pick up.
In multiplayer the game gives you UTisque options like...uhu...capture the flag? That is a very creative concept for a game like this and it adds to the replayability.

Navigation is a little awkward to start -- you interact using the left mouse button and move using the right -- but you get used to that quickly enough. The main problem is that the character can get sucked into things like stairs, so you spend a lot of time going back and forth (or I did, anyway). Another problem is that sometimes you have to have your character in exactly the right spot before he'll do what he's supposed to. If he's not close enough he'll say "I can't do that (or some variation thereof)." Except for sometimes, when he'll walk over and complete the action on his own. I found no rhyme or reason to this and it got a bit annoying in places.
this game what got me into Mega Man in the first place. if you asked me if i heard or played a mega man game i would simply say "no". blasphemy right? well, i bought a Retron 3 (which i wrote a review on which you can find later, i reviewed the red console). with the retron 3 i bought Mega Man X because i thought it would be a good game to get plus it was 25 right there. i slapped this game in, and i never wanted to get away from the system. it has a simple learning curve, and everything about X is awesome, the pacing, the music, even the graphics.
FF8 set a standard that is still higher than some games being written for the PS2 today, and managed to accomplish that on a more primitive platform. Graphics and character design are amazing, the plot complex, and the action satisfying. Proving that the best isn't always the newest and the loudest.
1990 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 starfox for n64 will always be a classic, has fun game play only problem is that the game isn't overly challenging (made to be win-able by kids) and isn't a very long game i remember winning it on several occasions in one sitting (but still taking several hours)very fun game though

Lame ending boss
What was perhaps the strangest thing about Pokemon is that the game was surprisingly deep in terms of combat. It was your traditional turn-based combat. Simple, yet it was so complex. For one, the game has a Rock/Paper/Scissors method to it. Every Pokemon has a type, and every type has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Water is strong up against fire but it is weak vs. Grass. Grass is weak vs. fire etc. etc. No Pokemon is invincible. They all have a weakness to some type. Though in these versions the psychics definitely have an unfair advantage as the type they're weak against (bug) is almost non-existent and there are hardly any bug type attacks.
604 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Rogue squadon is somewhat fun to play but the majority of the missions are hard to beat. the 3D enviroment is cool looking and on some levels there are places you can see that are straight out of the movie such as Jabba the hutt's palace on Tattoine.
Simply put- if you ignorantly write off the Playstation 1 for being old and outdated and assume that means the games are unplayable, you are flat out *wrong* in my eyes. All this fancy digital, high def, high resolution stuff available for your televisions *just* to play a video game makes me sick to my stomach. It means it's alright for video games to be bad because as long as they LOOK good, people will buy them anyway. Absolutely disgusting. Buy the PS1 and start a collection of EXCITING games.
Now being my first RPG I don't know what to expect but I'll say it anways..my first time through this game was pretty long, I never went through EVERY SIDE QUEST but I did do a few cause I was a little paranoid that I'd mess up, from random battles to leveling up, Boss battles to getting to every place/land/cave that I went through to progress through this great game and my length went down to a total of 57 hours, so yes you bet your sweet keester that your first time through this game will take awhile, as it is spanning 3 discs. Ok I'm getting tired lets just get this over with
I've ordered another one I hope this one works
QUAKE 3 was meant as a multiplayer game and it is sucsessful on that level, because that is ultimately what you end up playing when all is said and done. The single player mode is merely OK, as it is a warm up for online play, but online play is some of the most exciting out there! I'm talking Deathmatch here. You see, if you are not good at FPS type games, you might actually like and enjoy the rush of QUAKE 3 Deathmatch! There is no strategy, you just seek-locate-destroy the nearest person! Not many games can match the level of intensity in QUAKE 3 Deathmatch.
9375 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the many memories of the 16-bit console wars between Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo I had was comparing games that had come out on both systems. Typically, the SNES version of the game was better. However, there were a few rare occasions where a Sega Genesis version of a game was superior. In this instance, I remember being very pleasantly surprised, because both systems got very different games, and the Sega Genesis version was clearly much better and more fun.
Bottom line: Buy it. Play it. Join me.
9067 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When someone insults a next-generation video game's graphics with something like, "It could have easily been done on SNES," she or he may not remember Donkey Kong Country. Even on on X-Box, GameCube, PS2, or that Phantom thingy, the graphics on this baby are no insult. The CG resolution is crystal-clear and the animation in unparalelled. The rain fits perfectly and the transition of weather is flawless. The music isn't bad either . . . it's great, from Funky Kong's theme and the water stages to Candy's lovable romance beat and the final battle with King K. Rool. Both graphics and sound really push the SNES to its limits.
.
Anyway, it is a decent game, and if you have a lot of time on your hands, pick it up.
2110 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved playing this game back in 1999, so I decided to buy it to have it on my game collection. This game has lots of action, stealth, strategy and the plot is awesome! Id recommend it!
3737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game is great and a fun one to play. No doubt would buy again if I somehow lost it. Great quality. Must buy!
Also, the distinction of behaviour between the adults and the children and teenagers is superb. Square really put a lot of emotional study into this game, and it shows. The characters in this game are the most human I have seen for a long time. Also, the originality of the plot must be why many people hate it; they want the same old (hint on OLD) characters that have ALWAYS appeared in FF titles, the plot to be the same, and the characters to all be dragoons or black mages. Sorry to burst your bubble, but this game is ORIGINAL (aside from its title). It breaks away, it is unorthodox, but that is quite all right when you look at the alternative (FFIX, which is basically a universal plot with no real good original ideas, and Square 'made up' for it with cramming tons of stuff from the other 8 games into the scene...it sucked). My opinion? Buy it, every penny is worth it. Unless you don't like originality. Then you should have stopped reading this review and started to send me hatemail after the first few sentences.
6720 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably the best Xmen game before Xmen Legends was released. It's a side scrolling beat em up with light puzzles. You can be several of the characters including Magneto which makes it very fun and interesting. I would highly recommend this to any Sega and Xmen fan!
Graphics (score 10/10): The graphics were superb when this game came out, and are still excellent, in my opinion. I still find them pleasing to the eye. Of course, I'm not nearly as picky as some people, and obviously, I recognize that it's graphics are older now, but they were magnificent for their time.

9680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Golf blends rpg elements with the great game of golf. You start out by creating a character then putting points into different skills. As you play courses, practice, or enter contests you gain experience and your character goes up in levels. This earns you more points to put into each skill level. The graphics are wonderful for a game boy game and the controls are simple and easy to learn. Four courses are available, each with a different theme, and tons of mini games in practice areas help change up the game play. The game is one of the best golf games I have ever played and can be very addicting. If you have a game boy and like golf at all, do yourself a favor and get this game.
6318 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm a big fan of Baldur's Gate and the Fallouts, so naturally I went and bought the next series, Planescape Torment. What I was confronted with was a game rich in storyline and graphic detail, but on the playability end as compared to the other RPG's released by Interplay, I knew issues were at hand. The game runs slow sometimes even if you have a super PC and the patch is virtually a must if you want fully enjoy the game.
993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game I grew up with and enjoy very much. I have been playing this game since I was 6 or 7 years old and games like these are very hard to come by right now and they cost a pretty penny brand new. What I have is a like new version but unforutantely I lost the manuel and the box is long gone to mine but maybe I will find it one day while I shop around the internet. I love this game and recommend this game to old school video game players and the like.
6941 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game from Rare in its heyday, great graphics (for N64) and great gunplay.
Although I've never been a fan of the cartoony graphics compared with those in Worms and Worms: Reinforcements, they are much smoother and slicker. The copious amounts of voice packs are hilarious and you can add your own. The menu isn't Windows based like Worms 2, and a real improvement is that you can jump higher as well. Add to that the ability to backflip which is very useful.
Sound 10
3773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best game is Sonic Adventure 2. Anyway this game is really good. I try to get better times and every time I play it, I geta better time! Somethimes its hard to get a time, but with practice, you can get a great time! Speed Highway with Sonic for example. Its hard to get under 1:30 but you can find some shortcuts that saves you a lot of time and you need to go with nothing slowing you down. I got in Speed Highway with Sonic: 1:51:74 And I really got that time.
"Silent Hill" is better than RE in that it provides much more realism. Harry is an average person like you or me, not a hero or arsenal on two legs. Like most humans, he is not an expert at conflict, so this makes the battles much tougher. The atmosphere is where this game reallt excells. The deserted town is creepier than anything out of a horror movie, with fog so thick that you cannot see 10 feet in front of you. The snow falls steadily. The music is subtle, adding to the creepiness. The monsters come out of nowhere, and there are many occasions that will make you jump.
The so-called "Fastest Finger" questions are nothing really like those on the show. You don't compete to put the answers in the right order; you just buzz in when the computer flashes up the proper arrangement. It's related to the set of skills necessary on the real show--but it's not the same.
One of the few games i know that you can shoot some ones neck and watch the blood squirt out, or blow limbs off....
Many of the enemies from the DKC series return, in addition to plenty of new ones. Bees, rats, snakes and crocodiles are back. Other types of enemies such as floating crabs, spiky fish, flying pigs, tornadoes (hey, they mine as well be enemies) and snakes on ropes (yes, that's right!) are new and exciting additions. Rambi and Expresso are back, but Winky and Enguarde are not. Perhaps that explains why the water stages are longer.
After I bought a couple of these though, my girlfriend and I can comfortably play from our couch! This cable gives us more room than we'll ever need. Great product!
8929 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Metroid II the day it came out back in 1991, and since that day it has been my favorite Gameboy game, and one of my favorite games on any system. The graphics were far superior to its NES predecessor, which made me love this game from the start. The game play is extremely easy to pick up, and very responsive to what you want it to do. AND, the levels are vast and fun to explore for a few hours. Let's face it; it doesn't get much better than playing as Samus and shooting up the Metroid.
Bullet Time is a one trick pony, but it's a useful one trick pony. It allows Max to dodge otherwise lethal enemy fire or take on a whole room of goons unscathed.
- This ties into the graphics, but the backgrounds are pretty bland and uninspiring in this Genesis version. The best example is right in the beginning in the New Junk City level. The sun in the background stays in one place. Not so on the Super NES version where the sun moves and hides behind the mountains depending on where Earthworm Jim is standing. The backgrounds are extremely vibrant and exciting in the Super NES version.
3728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
My only beef is, you have to play it through in order to use the cheat available and many of us play a game once and that's it.
Another new addition to the Mario series was the lovable green dinosaur named Yoshi. This faithful lizard would put his unusually long tongue to work for you which allowed you to swallow certain fruits on trees (I've always thought they looked like some really odd strain of tomato), certain enemies, and what's more, swallowing certain turtle shells endowed Yoshi with some additional abilities. For instance, red turtle shells, when spit back out, produced three fireballs that ripped through pretty much any enemy. My personal favorite, the blue turtle shells, would allow Yoshi to fly simply by holding the jump button. Some levels can't be fully completed without Yoshi as well. Additionally, Yoshi doesn't just come in the green variety either. Finding hidden places in the normal levels, or gaining access to the hidden levels like Star Road and the hidden levels after that, allowed you to find the different colored Yoshis who, when swallowed any shell, would have the power of the turtle shell that matched their color. For instance, if you found a red Yoshi, any shell would make him spit fireballs back out.
The main problem i have with this game is on the Hoth and Deathstar mission.(use password DEADDACK to get to them)on the Hoth mission you wrap a cord around Imperial walkers to trip them which is tricky to do. As for the Deathstar mission, the scenery is wrong. In the movie Luke fires at the exhaust port at the end of the trench, in the game the target is on the ground. But that's not what bothers me most though, After you hit your target it just says "Mission Complete" They should've had a cinematic sequence where the Deathstar blows up. That doesn't happen in the game which leaves you feeling angry and unsatisfied.
5705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the style of the game and if your a final fantasy fan, this had better be in your collection or your not a fan. :p
1634 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If only the movie was as good. I've missed playing this game so much, glad to have it back in my collection.
You must have this game in your collection. If you don't then you don't have a collection.
5947 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game would have been a MASTERPIECE, had it have not been for the stupidity of blizzard. This game WOULD be extremely fun, but there is one flaw, and this one flaw ruins how much I enjoyed the game: The damn saving option. This really pissed me off. After a hard 3 hours straight of battling, you find out you have to run off to work, so you save and quit the game. After a hard 8 hours of work, you look forward to playin the pretty fun game of Diablo 2 once again. you pop the Cd in the drive, start up the game....WHAT THE HELL?? I JUST BEAT ALL THESE ENEMIES! yes that is right. After you save and quit, the enemies return. sure, its a good way to earn experience, but i think it goes a little too far when you have to defeat about 200 enemies and spend about an hour JUST to get back to where you left off on your last play. At first it's not that bad, mainly because the enemies are not that hard, and there are not many of them. but once i got to the third act, i got so frustrated i just quit the game and didn't play it for a month. This gets so frustrating and time-consuming it is unreal.
Back then, the console wars were all about two things: graphics and games. Unlike today, where the graphics are so good that gameplay is brought into greater scrutiny, it seemed as if every game provided some new advance (or backpedal) in those two crucial categories. Here is how the N64 rates:
3964 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is something magical about this game. Everytime you play it, you will surely enjoy it. The graphics on Dreamcast are better, smoother, faster, more stable than those on PC. I can't wait until I get my Dreamcast Pistol Light Gun and try it with this game. I played the game on Arcade machines for years and finished it many times; I really enjoyed every single moment. After that, I got it on PC, and it was a good experience with a PC light gun like the Sega Automag. Finally, I got it for Dreamcast. I enjoyed the 2-player game with my friends. But I am sure that the maximum and ultimate fun will be playing the game with the dreamcast pistol light gun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CLASSIC. Get it NOW and you will know what the word "fun" means.
1662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 have not played yet but looks all good to me. I will be playing it tonight. A must for those interested in resident evil.
I can't decide whether the Final Fantasy VIII story is better than VII's or not. It's certainly much more complex and not as linear. In VII, the only reason of travel was to go after Sephiroth. Here, you have a variety of reasons. You are a mercenary and you have jobs at certainly places. Other quests are due to personal reasons.
Also, I think that there definitely were better games during the time period in which this game came out. Zelda Ocarina of Time was definitely better than FFVII, even though it was shorter, and the revolutionary Goldeneye for N64 is just as good as FFVII.
474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a+
1038 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This and Super Mario 64 are the best games for this console. Now this was the first Zelda game I ever played, and it's gold cartridge. Now, this is a zelda game that's good to bring in the newcomer (or Link to the Past). This game is not too difficult, but difficult enough. The story is one of the best stories I've seen in a video game, very original. The one thing about this game I don't like are the water dungeons. It's a trend in Zelda games to make the levels that involve water the hardest part in the game, but it is passable.
-THE SAVE FEATURE FROM SONIC 3 IS SORELY MISSED. With as massive as the levels are, being able to save after Sandopolis Zone Act 2 would be nice, but again, this problem is remedied after locking it onto Sonic 3.
Great personality.
Quick Recovery:
2857 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fun
1945 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I rented this game when it first game out, I was scared out of my mind. Everything made me jump, now I have sort of gotten over that, I am 15 and although the music and sound(zombie moaning and feet stepping) creates this scary atmosphere, it is not THAT scary. Most of you can handle it.
Multiplayer could provide a hour of good fun with 3 friends
The Bad: Extreme difficulty can really turn some people away, the age here shows quite a bit
Respecting the limits of its technological platform and its time, the game was one of the greatest of his era.
8306 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so intriguing and so realistic I found myself rushing to my computer after work to play it. In this game, you're free to tour the famous ship: the gymnasium, wireless room, smoking room, cabins, Turkish bath, even the engine, turbine, and boiler rooms and the top of the last smoke stack! You get to meet all sorts of characters, from social debutantes to a Serbian revolutionist. Listen to what they say. Each character gives you clues that will help you solve the game. In solving the game, you will perform tasks like sending a wireless, developing negatives, and decoding messages. It is a game that requires strategy, observation, and thought. Try out your ideas-they may work. My advice is to save this game often as you're playing and several times at various stages so you can return to a spot when you think you've figured something out. This game is not difficult, but does take time and thought. Don't give up, it's worth it in the end. As a former history major, I appreciate the period items you find on the ship (including a wax-cylinder gramophone which was a bit out of date even for the Titanic) and the lessons you get in the events that led to the First World War. You won't be able to save the Titanic, but you might be able to change history by altering the past. My only qualm is that the game freezes up A LOT which is very frustrating when you are getting into the storyline. Again, I can't stress enough the need to save where you're at in the game OFTEN. I also recommend the book "Titanic Adventure Out of Time Hints and Solutions" not just to solve the game (you may be able to solve it without it) but as an interesting supplement to the historical and scientific themes of the game. The music and graphics are excellent. You can really lose yourself in this game. Even after solving it, I find myself wanting to play it again and again.
-Semi-interesting characters.
8034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of my favorites just because it combines two of my favorite things, Doom and Star Wars! :D
3417 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the Sega Dreamcast , if sega would have released this console with dvd playback we would be talking about the sega dreamcast 3 right now. Its a shame for such a great system to be released and not get the props it deserves i got the sega sports limited edition black console, and i would never trade it in for either the ps4 or xbox one . Hell no .
There are plenty of Game Shark codes for this game too.
6483 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The second to last WCW game proved that it had what it took to compete with the WWF (if only the TV show did as well). Teh controls are very fluent, the matches (although needed variety) are fun. This also holds a huge amount of wrestlers, and an ok create a wrestler. The best part is that you can actually for the first time (in the WCW games) listen to the theme music before you made your guy (given up in WWF Smackdown) and they last longer than 5 seconds.
8922 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's unbelievable to me how many perfect or near-perfect scores Super Metroid has received from game players all across the internet. To this day, gamers STILL have the time of their lives running, blasting and spin attacking their way through each and every area of the planet to reach the final stage and face the evil Mother Brain.
4. There isn't enough variety in the chaotix missions. It's always either find a certain amount of something, sneak past someone, or get from point A to point B before time runs out. I guess it would be difficult to make it more than that, but still, the missions lack that "investigative" thing that detectives do.
are pinpointed for your convenience, and the dungeons are balanced in difficulty, though the difficulty increases quite a bit later on.
9921 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 excellent game
You can choose to be either Dr. Alan Grant or...a Raptor. Both have their problems. Why would Dr. Grant go around killing all those army guys (just what are they doing in the game)? And why a Raptor be killing other Raptors? Weird.
8955 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great
Overall, Max Payne delivers a very entertaining and very fresh gameplay experience. With many realistic weapons to choose from, the Bullet Time feature, the realistic enviroments, and the action packed gameplay, Max Payne will have you begging for a sequel once you've completed the game. Bottom line... the game is FUN!
The levels in this game are positively PACKED with TONS of goodies. Flowers, stars, coins, 1-up's, enemies, P-switches, you name it. The thing that amazes me is that 10 years after owning the game, I'm STILL finding more of those invisible floating clouds (usually containing stars inside). There must be THOUSANDS of those babies!
I would be wary of compatibility issues with this one.
Hope you have fun.
The PROS: Well, the overall presentation is good enough to make you feel you're in the Star Wars universe as the sound effects and music are what you expect to hear in Star Wars games. Even though the game has 9 levels, they are long levels so you won't be cruising through so easily.
3604 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been a huge video game fan since I was born, and I have never seen anything like the Dreamcast. Sure, on Playstation 2 you can play DVD's, but the games just aren't as fun to play. The Dreamcast also has what I think is the most comfortable and easy to use controller there is. Plus, the VMU makes things even better. No more having to worry about what you should save because now you can delete your files. Plus, it's fun to watch the little movies and play the mini games on it's visual screen. You should definently buy the Dreamcast if you like video games. Nothing will ever be better.
Max Payne's level design is superb, They are very well done, In one level you need to chase a gangster jumping from the cities roof top to roof top and finally jumping on a moving train. Mp is a short game but the length is just right. The selection of weapons are very good but some of them are very dissapointing, Grenades and molktov cocktail for example, It is quite hard to through grendes. Colt commando is my favorite. Max Paynes gameplay is pre half-life, But still the action gameplay is superb and very thrilling. The problems in the game are it is shipped without a multiplayer and initially it has only one difficulty, other three difficulties can be unlocked only if you finish the first, They are both very bad decisions. It has got loads of annoying cutsences, cutsence of the sniper bullet charging to the target is cool, but others are very annoying and take the controls from the player. It is also quite hard as max cant take much damage. Third person perspective is always a bad choice for action games like this, But its third person view is quite good but it does not support the turn left and turn right key for the keyboard, You could turn only with the mouse. Max Payne is not a ground breaking title in gameplay but it is a very good pre half-life kind of game with better graphics and bullet time. If you like pre half-life games (not many puzzles, shoot everything that moves, Bad AI) then you will really love Max Payne.
3050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the 2nd bess Final Fantasy in the entire series. Only Final Fantasy 3 (US) beats this. the story is absolutely the best in the series next to FF3. it is sad and exciting. this is definately a hall-of-famer in the game world :)
2936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You have heard about , I am sure its just the most awesome rpg of all time.
1039 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best and my personal favorites from the Zelda franchise! The story was fantastic, the gameplay was amazing for the time, even compared to todays gaming this game showed less problems or glitches.
1560 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Ordered Twisted Metal #1, which is what the artwork and title suggests, developed by SingleTrack. Instead, received Twisted Metal 3 which was developed by 989 Studios and is of inferior quality. Although I am happy to have received anything at all, it was not the correct item.
Well, lets just say that its not hard but its not easy, of course the actual battles are fairly simple if you know what your doing. And leveling up your characters & materia are the only main factors you have to worry about in progressing in the game. The problem with moving your character around is that your fumbling around with the directional sometimes because its not quite calibrated right. Or its just the camera view, however its annoying at times.
4563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From warehouses, schools, and malls to big citys and a ship, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is an awesome sports game! So many moves available, it has to be one of the best games i own. It has awesome features like options to save and replay your runs in any level any time you want, you can do a two minute run in any level with Single Session, and you can play in any level as long as you want in Free Skate.
Can anyone guess what plumber's job is in this game? It's to traverse 15 levels in search of Princess Peach. On the way, you have to stomp on Bowser's head. Thrice. All your favorite enemies are back, with the exception of Koopa Troopas. The goombas, shy guy, the Lakita Brothers, the moles, Bob-ombs, everyone's back!
Glitches: Every game has glitches, but this game just has too many glitches such as Start B(16) and then you get a bull hat, frog hat, or Jet Wario. Just way too many to think of off hand......
It's your basic racing game but you get to beat upthose road hogs and sunday bikers. Don't you wish you could do that during rush hour? Along the way you get some pretty cool weapons like a chain, nunchucks, a kendo stick and a pipe wrench. Very cool and makes the game that much more fun.
8763 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In super good condition with a small blotch on the top (easy clean). An extremely addictive game with catchy music you'll be whistle till you run out of batteries.
7524 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I remember renting for the weekend at our local video store ages ago. It took about an hour to figure out how to make the grappler hit the sweet spot so I could get to the second floor. That was only the first level! In case you're wondering, I had no problem getting past the first stage in other video games. So it wasn't my lack of experience, it was the abysmal game design. The music, or at least the music I heard (as I stopped playing after the first level) was mediocre. If you really want to play a Batman Game for SNES, I recommend "Batman Returns" and "The Adventures of Batman and Robin". Some "bad" games can still be fun but this one isn't.
Not since Daggerfall has there been a game that captivates the player into it's world as much as Baldurs Gate, and still, Baldurs Gate does know it's limitations, unlike for instance Daggerfall.
UPDATE: the problem wasn't the patch, it was my memory. My apologies to any this review affected (prolly like 10 people lol). This is a great classic game and I hope you try it.
632 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll preface this by saying yes I have played through FFVII on the playstation when it first came out. I've probably played through it at least a dozen times as I just enjoy the story, how it unfolds, the characters you meet and the events that transpire that intertwines their stories together.
i've been playing this game since 98 and have been playing ever since. i was hooked on quake2 for a while. if you want to use your intelligence rather than just merely blasting away at foes, this game has your name on it.
Highly recommended.
If you liked this game check out all the cool spidey stuff out there.
I never played this game before until now. I was too young at the time to really understand the game. Now that I've played it I understand why it got it's praise and I don't understand at the same time. What really makes me not like this game as much as other people is the extreme difficulty. Either that or I just suck at the game. I'm not really good at 2D platformers to begin with but this game does deliver on all accounts.
It's Sci-Fi universe holds legends, stories of survival, heroism, and evil. Every single individual in the game, be it Zerg, Protoss, or Human, is created with such extreme depth that you would swear their tales and experiences were real (as impossible as that may sound). The story of the game, and it's expansion, is the stuff of prize-winning novels! (Starcraft actually did spawn a Trilogy of novels, all of them set in the game's universe, and all of them a great-read)
1 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played it a while but it was alright. The steam was a bit of trouble. The more they move these game to steam the more of a hard time I have activating and playing a game. But in spite of that it was fun, I liked it. Now I am looking forward to anno 2205 I really want to play my way to the moon.
The gameplay of course has aged quite a bit, it isn't as tactical as recent RTS games like Empire Total War. But I cannot deny how much fun the simple mechanics are. I found myself playing for hours on end, skipping entire meals like dinner on weekdays or lunch on Sundays. It is also a game that I found myself constantly thinking about even at work which to me is the mark of a classic. There are few things in video games as satisfying using psionic storm on group of mutalisks or the sound of a siege tank blasting incoming zerglings.
3812 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 We waited quite a while for Dungeon Keeper 2 to come out, and bought it immediately when it did. On one hand, it's great for a sequel. People who played DK1 will easily be able to pick up on moving units, building rooms, lining corridors with traps.
For die-hard Might and Magic fanboys only.
Resident Evil 2 (it's rare)
Mario Kart 64
133 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was exactly what was needed and has worked flawlessly since being received. I recommend it, if you need one.
You go through levels floating and copying abilities. But you generally aren't alone. I believe you get a companion in every board to accompany you. There's the bird, the hamster and the fish (you ride on the first two and the fish holds you IN HIS MOUTH! LOL! How epic is THAT?).
3)The console is available now. While you wait for the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube. You can have and play a DC now, with plenty of great games! Plus by waiting the price of these other consoles will come down and there will be plenty of titles for them by then. Good things comes to those who wait(Cheaper price, more games, more availability!)
Good seller too. The product arrived ahead of schedule in great condition as described.
We were very disappointed to find, not only was there no manual in the box, but there wasn't even a CD liner to read. There wasn't any on line help either while you're playing - you have to have help open in another window and ALT-TAB between them to get any information. Not very user friendly.
Overall: A
7850 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 its a pretty straight forward beat 'em up with a hint of sidescroller. i suggest this to anybody that grew up in the '90s or watched the show as a kid
5420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this for my sons & I.I previously owned this game when I was a teenager when it came out and loved it then & love it now(Unfortunately,the copy I owned before was ruined in a move so I had to get another one).We are very pleased with the copy we bought from Amazon. My sons who are 5 & 10 love this game & I love to play it with them. The game arrived in great condition. Personal note:If there are people out there who do not like this game they're either too young or just like the others better than this version. I love in World Tour that you can eat the nuclear waste and turn into the flying purple demon bat..thats just awesome!

Max Payne is a gritty story about a cop just doing his job. His wife an baby are murdered and it throws his world into turmil. As you can imagine, he wants revenge and he gets revenge many times over.
8571 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Remember how awesome Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage was? Well this was kind of a clone of that game which in the end worked out wonderfully! This game is the bane of my childhood existence. I have vivid memories of begging my Mom to take me to the local rental store so I could rent this game!
Pros: 1. The game is very freaky, do what i did, wait until ngith, close all windows in your room, your door, turn off the lights, and crank up the tv stereo. the music itself that plays when scissorman is near will make you jump out of your ksin literally....lol....
3668 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has so much replay value! I used to rent this game all the time but never got to buy it as a kid, so I'm glad I bought it now. It came in like perfect condition, too!
7152 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I just bought the component AV cable from a 3rd party company and already has the S/video cables (3rd party too) . I've read that AV component it's much better than S video, and tha's why I bought it. But is not!. AV component seems to be a little better than standard AV cables (RCA). S video gives an extraordinary brilliance to images. Video Component looks opaque, maybe Monster cables works better. In summary:
7342 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 NiGHTS Into Dreams is a game that is both nostalgic and amazing to this day. The music, the gameplay and graphics all bring back tears of joy because games like this just aren't made anymore. However, even though it may be a nostalgic trip down memory lane, NiGHTS Into Dreams still holds up entirely.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
1954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived according to the time that was given. was packaged expertly. For an older game it played without flaws. there was no visible wear inside or out on the game.
9043 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's hard to rate a game like Donkey Kong Country, which sold chiefly on the novelty of its computer-rendered graphics back in 1994. There's still a solid platforming design underneath the flash, but it's a pretty easy romp compared to Nintendo's Mario titles. This is especially appearant now that the game is over a decade old(!) and the flash no longer holds up as well on the GBA port.
9284 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Toy Story, released for the Sega Genesis and SNES in 1995, following the incredible popularity of the titular Pixar film, is a rather outstanding video game. I have a hard time believing that this game wouldn't appeal to just about anyone, as there is a ton to love about it.
7581 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'd let my son play this. The boy's gotta learn about girls and how important it is to fight for em somehow,right? The game is humorous and the babes have those jiggly nice......Ok,so this is a game for perverse men and ppl who like comic relief.
5610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is awesome if you like turn based rpgs this was my first final fantasy and i was so happy playing it to me the best final fantasys are 7 8 9 and 10 simply because they are turn based

421 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Breath of Fire Three is the third part to what was a very good series of RPGs. Breath of Fire One seems to be what most people I talk to about games consider the best. Even though I loved Breath of Fire 2 the most. I expected a lot from breath of fire 3. Perhaps this helped lower my opinion of Breath of fire 3, but I did not like this game.
5121 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I got this on sale and decided to have a look based on its low price and 5 star rating. What a joke!
3510 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The final instalment of the series on Playstation 1 doesn't disappoint. This is a classic game, an all time great. Although not as good as it's two prequals, Res Evil 3 makes up for it with improved graphics and an amazing mercenaries game. The hard mode also offers the most difficult of challenges ever seen on the PS One. If you are a fan of the series then you MUST own this. Some gamers may feel it's too easy iof they complete the game but try it on Hard Mode and then try the mercenaries and you get all the challenge you could ever ask for. The only reason why I've given 4 stars instead of 5 is the basic fact, Res Evil 1 and 2 are both better. But don't let that stop you buying it, this is a game that offers challenge, new enemies, harder puzzles and throws further into the series' evil, intricate plot. A classic game.
I can honestly say I've yet to play a good Spider-Man game. For all the hype, good reviews and people willing to pay the big bucks over this one, I thought it was sure to be the best. How disappointed I was to discover it's one of the blandest and boring beat-em-ups ever.
Buy this game and have hours of fun!
- The crows in New Junk City go "squaaaawk!" for an extended period in the Genesis version.
3538 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 But got no respect in the united states.
Overall, I liked this game a lot. I had a lot of fun playing it through and I would go through it again because I beat it a long time ago and I don't remember too much of it. If you can look over these few technicalities you will definitely enjoy this one for a long time. Also, since you can get it used at most places now, I'd say pick it up right away, you won't regret it.

3148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 7 is the first Final Fantasy on the PSX and the first FF to not go through "The Nintendo Filter (see FF II U.S.)". This game is an instant classic and if you have never played this game or even seen it, you are missing out. This game has it all. A good story, which I still debate certain things about with friends, excellent battles, fun characters, and all kinds of mini games (a.k.a. the Gold Saucer). This also was the pioneering of FMV on games.
silent when a song should be playing in the background. It's unfortunate to me to see
8323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I cannot say enough about this game. So i will keep it short.
4949 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when I was younger and went to BlockBuster to rent Video games back when BlockBuster was the place for movies and games. I remember coming across this game and renting it a few times. Since I never invested in a Memory pack for the N64 I could never beat the game unless I left the system on (which I never decided to do) so I kept playing this game for probably like 4 hours straight as a child and actually making it past 80% of the game (I didn't know I was that far till I beat it recently). Now that I am an adult, I can afford to replay some old games I could never quite finish due to the lack of a memory pack.
Metropolis Street Racing has, overall, better graphics than GT3, and handles really well. Arcade racers abound, such as the great Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. To top it off, the DC boasts the awesome F355, possibly the most realistic car sim ever.
8617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the game that literally made me and my friends go from being innocent, quiet nerd boys into blood thirsty savages! "IF YOU FIRE A RED SHELL AT ME I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH!"
5749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Every one always says 7 is/was the best. Given,7 changed rpg's forever but that doesnt mean cause cloud or aries isn't in 8 that it isn't good. I actually liked 8 and thought 8 would make for a better movie then 7 did(even though advent children was 10 outta 10)..Im just saying I hate when people only go ohh 7's the best ohh 7777777..8 is in no way my fav but for a game that had to try and out due the hype that 7 brought/had I think It did a pretty good job and come on, You gotta love rinoa =)
8244 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While Cruis'n USA was fun, it was without its shortcomings. But the sequel is so much better in every way.
8142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 still amazing came with my super so many years ago i think i was like 6 or something and now im 22 and i still play it its amazing
If you do get bored, you can still tweak just about every aspect of the game from individual bot intelligence, behavior and weapons preferences to special mutators for the matches (Want sniper rifles only? No problem). UT boasts 50 maps, a lot of which are simply breathtakingIll never forget the first time I was standing on the dizzying height of a space station tower with Jupiter filling the sky and its moons wheeling around above my head. You may even catch the occasional shooting star (no, reallyjust before that nasty sniper feels that youve been standing in one place long enough). Imagine fighting on board a spaceship zipping through hyperspace ... or a galleon on moonlit seas ... or in an Egyptian tomb .... whoa dude!
5111 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It's sad. I always liked the Might and Magic (MM) series. It was fairly simple but the built-in journaling and mapping tools made it less of a pain than other RPGs. Unfortunately MM seems to be frozen in time and this version doesn't appear to have any changes from previous one. There is a new storyline, or more precisely, a new variation of a Might and Magic storyline but graphics, sound, monsters, spells, skills and interface at all the same. I couldn't get the game run with DirectX under Windows 2000, software mode only, although the game is listed as NT-compatible. Keyboard shortcuts would stop working and occasional clipping problems got me stuck and forced a reload to get out. The sound is what really drove me crazy. The character voices can be cut off but not the NPCs. I'll have 'Have a pleasant evening!" ringing in my head for years.
As the second installment in the three-part series, Streets of Rage 2 does not disappoint in the least. After playing the first one for awhile and returning to the second, I realize how much better the fight system is here, the intellect of the foes, the scenery, items, points, specials, pickups, and the introduction of three and four-part levels - it's all a serious improvement.
Value:moderate high. THis game won't last forever but will last a very long time
The camera uses a birds-eye view and follows your vehicle. This is acceptable for the atmosphere of the game, but it becomes difficult when you need to look for extra buildings or rdu's. All of the vehicles are well made and fun, though the dump truck levels can be the most frustrating because the only way to destroy buildings with it is to smash them with its back end skid into them. The controls can be frustrating in crucial moments as well. Since the camera is above the car, left and right become mixed up. I also noticed that with the two mechs that roll/cartwheel into buildings, the controls wouldn't always respond when I wanted them to attack. Otherwise the controls were very fluid.
Essentially, take everything great from "Super Mario Bros." and "Super Mario Bros. 3", expand the graphics and audio from 8-Bit to 16-Bit, overhaul the level lengths and add a ridable dinosaur named Yoshi, include a lot of secrets, and wa-la!, "Super Mario World"!
But after this, you go through one last level. Then, you reach Dr. Wily at last, who is actually pretty easy once you get this pattern down: Use Quickman's power to shoot off the his robot's mouth, and then use the Energy Buster to reflect Wily's lasers, while avoiding a robo-claw that reaches for you.
The weapons range from a plain ordinary shot, a homing shot, lightning and a flamethrower. What's more interesting is that you can carry two different weapons at a time and switch between them. Even MORE interesting, is that you can combine two weapons and see what you get. You could, for example, have a homing lightning shot. This element just opens up a ton of possibilities.
2278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS GAME IS JUST AWSOME.
From The Capcom Universe:
4799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game a long while ago and I have good memories of it. But when I was thinking of all the PlayStation classics that I wanted to acquire (or re-acquire), I totally forgot about it. It was my friend who reminded me about it and I'm glad he did. A wicked fighter indeed. Fighting games are my favorite.
7776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Empire Stikes Back is a sweet game. In this game you get to play Princess liea, wich is cool. and you get to face darth vader for the first time. This is a sweet game. any Star Wars fans should own it.

4155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, this is not Sim City, nor was it even made by the company, but that is a good thing in this case. The first difference is that rather than starting with some random piece of land to build your park, you pick a scenario to beat! The controls are far easier than Sim City and it flows more smoothly and there are far more details like walking people that get hungry, angry, thirsty, sick and tired. You must make sure they have fun! By building steel, standing, corkscrew, wooden, and backward coasters, yada yada, Ferris wheels, motion simulators, merry-go-rounds, log rides and you get the picture. You can customize everything in the game, the color of the ride, the speed of the ride, how many loops or laps everything has. However, you need to be careful of three things when it comes to rides. The excitement to get the people on the ride, the intensity to make sure they get a thrill and the nausea factor to make sure they don't throw up, but when they throw up, that's when you hire maintenance people who walk around cleaning stuff.

3731 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good
6862 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Once in a great while a game will come along that separates itself from everything else on the market. It has a quirky setting and characters, some odd humor. It doesn't mimic other games, but no others mimic it either. Games of its type are big risks. They risk not attracting a strong following. They risk being bad because they're treading new, untested waters. Such a game, however, can be a gem. The little known Space Station Silicon Valley for the Nintendo 64 is such a game. It was very difficult to find in stores, and none of my friends had ever heard of it. Very little was known about it. Strange, I thought, because this is actually a good game - a very original and clever platform game.
6643 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original CD-ROM Riven I gave a 4/5, and also a 4/5 for the Playstation version mainly due to the disc swapping. But the DVD-ROM version is a relief. Now you can enjoy this great adventure without switching discs every few minutes which makes it feel more realistic in my opinion. This is a great game. I recommend it to any video-gamer who is up for a new, unique, challenge.
which really isn't all that loveable in my opinion.
the only thing i did not like was part of the storyline.
A word of warning though, the connectors are a VERY tight fit on the actual unit. Please be careful when inserting. Also, the point where the cable connects to the controller IS NOT the tightest fit, so make sure you aren't jerking the controller around as it could become unplugged.
113 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works better than the rockband one. Although it might be because my rockband mic is as old as the second rockband.
2558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When racing games were dominated by 'real' simulation Gran Turismo, I just couldn't enjoy first two Gran Turismo games except the fact that I do get to drive my car. That chemistry wasn't just there. When I picked up this gem, I was immediately sucked into it. The graphic was BETTER than first two Gran Turismo games and not to mention its story line. It's simple story, but they have managed to present the 'simple' story with special cutscenes with jazzy music, and believe me, this combination really adds alot to this game.
CONS - Requires open Internet (Windows Live) to play. Annoying interface. Continuous reminders to upload and download things you already selected not to do. Most settings don't keep between sessions. Setting up a race takes way too long. Irritating "music" you can't turn off (it keeps coming back). Takes too long to unlock things. Entire career mode is pointless when the game setup is so irritating I just wanted out. Video stuttering (possibly my equipment).
Only four years after Richter Belmont defeated the Count, Dracula's castle rises again. Maria Rennard, Richter's cousin who helped him defeat Dracula, decides to investigate the castle after her cousin mysteriously disappears.
Mission mode is by far the greatest feature of Soul Calibur. Unlike Soul Blade where you had a handful of character specific missions that weren't very fun, Mission mode allows you to pick any character that you desire and progress at your own pace. Missions range from winning with a ring out, to survival matches, and later throw in more obsure challenges. While they are challenging, they are for the most part, fair. As you beat each of these mode you will acquire points to buy artwork; purchasing this artwork will unlock more missions, costumes, characters and stages. By the time you finish this mode not only will you be an accoplished swordsman, but you will have a robust amount of content to show for your efforts.
9236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 WOW!!! This is definitely the best game of the year! With a new feature that allows you to go into Matrix-style slow-motion, it is the only game to employ such a feature. PC Gamer calls this feature, "Slo-mo gives you an inventive advantage over the opposition... and it also happens to be the most fricken' cool device ever employed in an action game." The graphics are truly stunning, the story is excellently written, and it has one of the best plots in an action game. The Mature label is correctly applied, since there is a lot of animated blood, violence and suggestive themes, such as a the player killing a devil-worshipping maniac. This third person shooter will replace Half-Life as the definitive action game!
3= HIt or Miss with the more realistic physics
3454 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is sometimes called the forgotten installment in the Resident Evil series. Other people just call it the least popular. Let's face it: all the attention went to Resident Evil 1 and 2 because those were the games that were revolutionary. Those were the games that not only brought realistic, never-before-seen gameplay and 3D survival horror graphics to the original Playstation, but the Resident Evil series also made it *very* difficult for any imitators to come along and try to overtake the popularity and success of the Resident Evil series. Capcom knew they had something amazing with this series, and that's why when video game fans think about being scared and trying to stay alive, the Resident Evil series *immediately* comes to mind.
2016 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game looks fine, but it doesn't work.
6454 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There has always been a dispute over which is better; real time or turn based strategy. And for the last couple of years we've seen many of the large names in the computer gaming industry (i.e Fraxis, Activision, Blizzard, and Mircosoft) battle it out on each seperate turf in order to gain the coveted spot at the top of the strategy gaming world.
Anyway, this game is one of the classics-up there with Super Mario World and Super Metroid. The soundtrack is amazing (like all of the Donkey Kong Country games), some of the levels get to be quite challenging (especially when you want to find all of the DK coins), and the graphics are really lush and beautiful. I would definitly recommend this game to everyone.
That may not be my style but I can relate and if this game sounds like something you might even be remotly interested in I would highly recommend it.
1045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart 64 is, without a doubt, one of the best games ever made for the Nintendo 64 (or any other system). Even today, 8 years after its original release, Mario Kart 64 is still amazingly fun. The controls are PERFECT- and I do mean perfect. The first time you go power sliding around a sharp turn, you'll see what I mean. The game is perfectly balanced- each character has strengths and weaknesses. Your skill determines if you come in first- not because you picked the best character. Oh, and I haven't even spoken about the brilliant course design. Every course has shortcuts, and special features, making them truely unique. The placement of the powerups is wonderful. And the multiplayer... Oh the multiplayer! One word: brilliant. Playing with your friends is exciting, competetive, and will have you laughing like crazy. This is what multiplayer gaming is all about. If the game does have one weakness, it is the graphics; being 8 years old, Mario Kart 64 doesn't stack up well against today's crop of games in terms of visuals. But when you're having this much fun with a game, do the graphics matter? No way!! Even if you own the Gamecube version of Mario Kart, you still owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this timeless classic.
I CAN'T NAME ALL OF THEM, BECAUSE THERE IS OVER 100 WEAPONS, FOR REAL!!!!!!!!
2493 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is excellent. You can fight all of your favorite Nintendo characters together and have a good time. There is no blood, gore or cursing in the game, and that is what separates this game for all other fighting games. (One reason I don't buy a lot of fighting games is the blood and gore.) I think everyone will have a good time except those people that think games are only good when there is blood and gore. (Read some of the other reviews and you'll see what I mean.) There are so many good things about this game that 1000 words isn't enough. I will tell you the cons instead of wasting time and words. CONS: Hard to get secret characters, Not enough Pokemon Characters, More Characters Should Be In It such as: Turok, Princess Peach, Zelda, Wario, Bowser, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Charmander, Mewtwo, Bomberman, Goemon, Yae, Ebisumaru, Sasuke, Impact, James Bond, and others. Better weapons are needed because some of them are lame (The fan and Shells for example)
5729 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Of all the ways in which Ultima is great, the stories you will experience are by far the best part of this series. You will go places you had never thought possible. These aren't simple hack-n-slash RPGs, or even the somewhat stale, high-polish epics of Final Fantasy. Instead, these are tales of corruption, predjudice, redemption, and virute. Through this series, you can watch an entire world and hundreds of people grow and evolve. The individual games are mostly what you would expect - they get richer and deeper as time goes on, with a fewer gems in the beginning, and a few stinkers at the end.
5380 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Huge upgrade over the SNES version. Much better graphics and smoother game play.
2. The soundtrack is great
333 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These awesome-sauce things make any GC controller as far extended as a wavebird. Given these days any games I have time to play are all via the Wii anyway, having the extra length for GC controllers is great.
In short, this is just one of those all-time classic games. I recommend it with 5 stars.
Other than that, though, this game is wonderful. It can be VERY addictive, however, so watch out. Still, if you have the time to spend on it, this game can be a very rewarding and fun experience. There's just no words to describe the satisfaction that you feel once you get your character up to the highest level that you've ever acheived, and that's really what this game is about; leveling up. That may not sound that great, but after awhile the concept grows on you, and you get drawn into the great world of Diablo II.
Third, the outdoor areas are WAAY too freaking big. Even with Automap turned on, it's impossible to tell whether or not you've explored an outdoor area fully.
8899 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wheater you play this on a Gameboy, SNES Superboy, GBA, or GameCube Player this is a must play for Nintendo fan, Metroud fan, or fans of solid platforming Metroidvania ....yes there is a reason Metroid got its own terminology hybrid name ...
Just remember to keep the gods happy:)
Well yeah thats it...Go get Super Mario Worl if you have a SNES..Its a great game
update: this was a beautiful game. it never crashed on me. i played it on xp. as i complained before, it is difficult, but very very interesting. i haven't ever played a game like it.
8914 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had so much fun playing this game. I played this game not to long after I had played Secret of Evermore. I was so glad to have found yet another super fun rpg.
Head On=Good Gameplay Online Mode included (psp and ps2) Spiritual Sequel to Twisted Metal 2
855 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I thought Red Alert was a pretty fun game. This was just a clone of red alert though. The people that make C&C need to come up with some more ideas. All the C&C games are exactly the same. I didn't like Red Alert to start with so Tiberian Sun has to be worse.
1) If you are into playing with friends and people on the internet and having a fun time, you WILL love this. This, in my mind, is by far the most fun to play game on the market and the single player is just as versatile and enjoyable as the multiplayer.
A lot has been said about OoT over the years. It has been referred to as the "Best Game of All Time" by some, and the "Most Overrated Game of All Time" by others. I'm not really in either camp, but I lean closer to the former group, I suppose. If you haven't played it yet, you should. It's out on a variety of platforms and there's even remake of it with better graphics, but I would still recommend the N64 version if you want the same experience people had back in the 90s when OoT was THE GAME you needed to play.
2636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To tell the truth Game Boy is the best ever. There is no comparison to any other portable system.
3067 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't even know where to start. i played this game once when it when it just came out and once recenlty. the game is just breathe taking. Even with all the kick ass graphics out today, they are still no match for this game. I almost shedded a tear when a ceratin someone died. The rpgs in this game are decent compared to what is out there today. but remeber this game came out when psx just game out. At the beginning, you are a rebel named Cloud strife rebeling against Shinra corp. in a city called midgar. as you progress in the story you get invovled with clouds past, and he finds out revalations he never knew about himself. i palyed this game for 60 hours and i never got sick of it. if you have never played this game i suggest you GET IT!!! its the best game i have ever played. this game had the most profits in Squaresoft history. Only a Playstation game could be this good. Nothin Xbox would ever have.
609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First, the single player is awesome. Then the multiplayer battle gets even better. But then when you add Game Shark it becomes the best game ever. One problem is that it is a bit unrealistic because there are up to 400 shots in a clip/magazine. Otherwise the game is good. Also if you like this game you will want Perfect Dark. If you like this game but wish it was more realistic get Rainbow Six.
9192 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Trust me, the Super NES version of Super Wrestlemania is awful in every sense of the word. The way the wrestlers *very* slowly walk across the screen JUST to deliver a simple generic wrestling move to your opponent (because the game company didn't give any of the wrestlers many moves to work with) is worse than any kind of pain you can imagine.
Seven years later link wakes up and Ganondorf rules Hyrule. He spreaded five of the six medallions and had monsters gaurd them. You get the only medallion Ganondorf didn't have and go on a quest to find the others.
2702 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a classic. Even though it has been around for a while, my daughter loves it and has spent many hours playing it.
7859 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the second SNES title I owned and it came just in time for my 9th birthday in 1992 (about a few months before the Xmas holidays). This game was like The Legend Of Zelda on crack mainly due to the 16 bit graphics and added features and secrets. It was also known to be the first Zelda prequal in the Zelda series despite of the added features and variety of weapons and sword/shield upgrades compared to the NES series. Who knew that a glove/mitt can make Link stronger, a pair of magic boots that can make Link run faster and break into doors and boulders, two different elemental wands that vary of weakness of the enemies, a hookshot to connect to out of reach areas/grab items/inflict more damage than a regular sword, three different elemental medallions that can damage enemies on the screens, and a magic sheild that can relect beams and block fireballs. Returning weapons and power ups from the previous games are the boomerangs (retaining the upgrade choices), latern (formally candle), magic hammer, armor upgrades (formally rings), and a magic orcarina for express traveling (replacing the flute/recorder). Adding on the the special features is a dark world/light world transition of which required you to obtain the magic mirror (to go back to the light world) and a magic pearl (to keep your identity and power ups in the dark world). Now no other adventure game has ever done that.
9976 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a weird little game. it's crazy, unique, and so incredibly fun and addictive it's insane. If you like earthbound, and killer seven, you've just found their love child.
6750 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of my favorite classic games and I was thrilled to find a copy. Now I can enjoy the nostalgia all over again!
Lasting Appeal D-
But somehow this also changes the areas shape too?
First and foremost this game badly needs a voluntary "Time Compression" feature. Not all of us have 2-3 hours to devote each time we decide to play this game to have some fun. Sometimes it take an hour or so just to get out of harbour and tag some hours more on this to complete the mission. With a game in which you are looking at ocean waves for hours this gets boring really fast. This is just plain very annoying and game destroying factor to me. I know some people have all the time in the world to savour and enjoy games but a lot don't too. Since its not a action oriented game the passage of time is felt even more. If they can incorporate a Time Compression feature it will make the game lot more open to different segments of gamers.
7980 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The product is really good, it was exactly what I expected the product is. I can recommend it to all who are interested in purchasing this item. The people should buy it because it's reliable...
5289 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first picked up the game on a rainy day because I liked the cartoon characters on the front of it. It was a rental, but the next day I begged my parents to take me out so I could buy it.
KI: Gold has all of the characters and stages from the arcade and alongside the story, VS. mode (for 2 players), tournament mode and options, it now has a training mode where you can practice moves, combos, combo breakers and string them altogether. Completing the different practice levels with a grade "A", unlocks bonus content and once you're comfortable enough, you can take on the game itself.
There are many levels in this game where the levels are boring, but the music and graphics are great in this one. If you like something fun, challenging, classic, and you get your full value, this is the game for you. Many new creatures, Kiddy Kong and Dixie Kong are the playable characters.
9769 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hard game could not get past the first scene without getting killed.
5. The game actually has good gold balance. What I mean by this is that you don't end up the game with a ton of gold and nothing good to spend it on. You get progressively more useful items at each level, but they cost more. Each time you spend gold, you can usually buy one or two things that you want, but you have to spend your money wisely.
7676 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lost original in a fire, this is a replacement copy, I still have box and packaging in near mint condition. The game has aged okay over the years, many new player will be turned off by the horrible draw distance/fog on this game. Turok really deserves a HD remake
8059 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For all of you who love RPG's, like I do, but are sick of the same old theme's Vampire will fulfill all of your dreams. This game rocks! The story is engrossing, and it changes each time you start a new game. Replay galore. The Quests are intriguing, and not too complicated. The combat is not as robust as it could be but that is because there is a plot here, and lots of little goodies to hunt for. The NPC development is great and they make for valuable company. The graphics are very well done, and general play will keep you going. I can only see two improvements that could be made to the game, but they are minor. One is that during combat the mouse moves to give you a wonderful panoramic view of the situation, but during the heat of battle you could get disoriented and lose some HP's because you are looking at the combat from a bad angle. Once you get the hang of it it won't be a big deal. The second thing is that the cinematics are often long and overdone, but they really do make the game more like a movie. One great thing is that this game starts out like a medieval RPG, but progresses to a modern day RPG like Fallout. Be careful sucking blood could be a habit! Buy it and you will be up very late. Have Fun!
7162 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i got my 64 in 97 at that time everyone was rating the playstation to be the best game console ever maybe they are right!!!!!!!!!! but game like donkey kong 64 and perfect dark , zelda , turok ,mario and 007 some how keep the nintendo fans loyal these games were fun enough for kids yet challaging enough for and adult, i love perfect dark and at that time i felt like this was the best fps ever i still think so i have a ps2 now yet i have never gotten rid of my 64 its that good perfect dark is one of my perfect collection , i will tell any one even if ps1, mauled 64 because of it's games variation 64 is still the console for a true gamer most play station titles are easy by far so maybe thats why it was more popular, perfect dark is the gamers game.
The music fits in perfectly.
hope it helps
- There is a version of this game for the P.C.
HAPPY GAMING~!
3327 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game that I enjoyed years ago as a kid. Its still really fun in my opinion, can't explain the whole game but its fun and enjoyable, I'd recommend it.
5339 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played this game a long time ago. And I am reviewing it just because i am currently playing GTA 3.
136 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i got this to hook up me will to my 72inc h/d tv it set it up to 1080i not 1080p but besides that it's a grate cable!!!
However this game is not a total waste it has a very good storyline and execellent cinematics, featuring performances by several Hollywood stars (well maybe not stars but close enough). The graphics are pretty good but other games have done better.
Combat System: The combat system is developed around whats called materia. Its what you need to use magic and can be found after defeating bosses, lying around in room or just bought in stores. Everything that has to do with fighting is centered around materia, from equipping your weapons and items to casting magic-its a must to be knowledgeable about how to use your materia and use it properly. Your materia also gains experience in battles, not by using it though, but by equipping it to your armor and items you have equipped on your character. You can also use materia together such as the "all" and "fire" materia. You equip it on your weapon or item that has a sideways figure 8 looking thing on it and when you cast fire you hit all your enemies instead of one. The last thing about materia is once you max out your experience in say your "fire" materia it reproduces another one starting the new materia experince at 0 and you now have 2 fire materias instead of one-You can also do that to the summon materia's too. A few other things about the combat is its an active time battle system which means while your choosing your commands for characters the enemy won't hang around and wait to attack. The last thing is your limit breaks which are special attacks that you get after your "anger" meter (I guess that what you can call it) fills up. You can set it to allies getting hit or if that particular character gets hit. There is a lot of materia out there so don't be afraid to mix and match to see what goes with what.
Simply but enjoyable game play that kept you coming back for more and more and like Mario has kept me coming back twenty years later.
4441 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I've played this game between 10-20 times and when it kept going it was really fun. "Chaos" was usually the one I played but "Life" was pretty cool too. The battles were pretty good but the AI wasn't all that great. The different characters and units were pretty cool though.
With that being said, at the time Zelda:Link to the past had very good graphics and sound to boot. But what kept me playing this game over and over again was the fun gameplay! I originally got this game when I got a replacement SNES and this game was bundled with it. It took me over a year to play it, because I thought to myself, there is no way it could be better than the original Zelda on the NES. One day I decided to pop this game in and realized that I was WRONG! This was the most fun game I had ever played on the SNES even better than Super Metroid in many aspects. It was very easy to pick up and play and easy to learn. Once I started playing, I just could not stop. It took all the aspects I loved from the original Zelda on the NES and multiplied them!
9952 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's Pac Man. Enough said. The portability of it is a very nice turn on and the game looks and sounds great.
This game was absolutely amazing and still is to this day. Nothing can come close to that first experience in a new series so none of the newer Harvest Moon Games hit exactly that same cord, But I still mark this as one of the best games I have ever played.
Gameplay
This game is very interactive which is why I like it so much. As you beat bosses and levels you can wrap back any time you want. A simple touch is that you can turn on or off all candles,lanterns,torches and lights in the buildings. You have to pull switches block windmills and at one point, use a fire truck to put out a fire.
overall, I think that Dino Crisis is a fun game, and a good start to the world of Survival horror. I recomend picking it up if you find it for uner $$$ .
Apart from the impressive array of weapons, Link also packs a varied wardrobe. The stoic hero is far from interested in fashion (I mean, he runs around in a tunic and tights with a long cap, so he obviously doesn't care about his looks), so each piece has a specific use. You can mix and match boots and tunics for different benefits. Some bosses can only be beat with the right combination of clothing and shields, and figuring out how to use which items against a difficult boss is part of what makes Zelda OCT a great game.
9563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this game when I was 13 years old. I fell in love with the game, it was fun to play and actually involved strategy. I couldn't really understand the story at that age but now that I've played it again I fully understand it and appreciate how brilliant it is! The gameplay is like the early Final Fantasy games, turn based, however this game was played on a field rather than on a line like the other Final Fantasy games. You select your group and move across the field to get near enough to the enemy soldiers to strike. The gameplay is so fun and addicting, and with so much variation to the actions you can do in battle makes every fight different and fun. Now what I love most about this game is the story! The story is just very elaborate and well thought out, there is character development with the protagonists and even some of the antagonists. There are lots of twists in the story and there is just more than enough good things to say about the story.
The flight levels are a blast. Spyro starts out flying, and he has to go through, burn, or destroy 32 different assortments of objects, with 8 objects times 4 types. The player is timed, but getting each object adds more time. While these levels are all under 2 minutes long, they are still fun, but there isn't much incentive to replay them for a better time. The record should be its own reward, but there are only 5 of these levels, and the player can only view them by going back to the level. Aside from that, they are still very fun.
9399 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 while dated, this is still the funnest of the wipeouts to play. there are only 3 real problems with it. first, the game came out before "draw in" was in wide use so you'll sometimes see parts of the track appear out of thin air as you approach. second, there are only 4 craft to choose from and 4 others unlocked by a code. and third, to play multiplayer you need to use the system link cable. for those of you who don't know that means you need two copies of the game, two playstations, two TV's and the link cable.
You know when you buy an updated sports video game (such as football or hockey) and the only thing different about it from the previous year are a couple new player names, and maybe some new options here and there? That's exactly what the WWE has done with their video games. For the last 10 years all the WWE games have been WAY too similar to each other, and it completely sucks out the fun when every new wrestling game that hits the market only offers a slight difference over the previous years game.
Ready 2 Rumble
5507 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I rented this game with my friend and we played it the whole time he was over. Well about a year after that I decided to buy it. The thing I like best about the game is the Stunt level. But after having it for quite awhile it gets pretty boring. The racing part against the computers is really hard, sometimes I can't even get to third place. If you liked San Fransico Rush you'll love this game.
The story is quite intriguing and gives the player some narrative reason to keep playing. The story is narrated and presented in the form of stills from a graphic novel--very nice.
Awesome graphics for the time.
9250 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent! Thanks.

283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For a third party memory card, it does the trick for saving your favorite games. Instead of having piles of memory cards, you can now have just 1 to save a lot more save files. I'd recommend this to anyone that has had to either delete old save files or get another memory card to save more of their games.
THe campaign is allright I guess, if you can stand the poor gameplay to get from cutscene to cutscene (Which aren't as good as Red Alerts were).
The audio is awful.
Your buttons on the SNES controller serve as the attack menu interface. "A" = attack, "Y" = magic, "B" = defend/run away, "X" = items. It is a very simple combat system that you'll grab the hang of it from the start. Not to mention that Toad gives a little help on controls if needed. They also have a "time attack" for basic attacks. What I mean is you select your attack (A button) and press "A" right as your hitting the enemy for a continued combo/Extra damage.
5184 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Dont ever, ever buy this game! I knew it was going to be bad. So far this game beat the record for the shortest stay in my hard drive, even beating Trespasser by 2 days. A game that took 4 years to develop, well, you know something's not right. Lets start with the graphics. Really very dated OpenGL graphics. If this game came out 2 years ago, it would've been awesome. Interface: No In-Game save. Only way to say your progress is by picking up Save Gems. No Gems, no save. Control: Ok, so it's like any other first person shooter which is why I gave this game it's one and only star. AI: very very bad. Talk about having your AI teammates to back you up. You'll be saving them most of the time instead of them helping you. Also, there is a tendency that your artifical teammates to hit you by mistake. Story: just watch the old TV series "Time Tunnel". Overall: spend your money on another game.
This game is excellent. Did I mention that it's excellent? Let me repeat it again: This game is excellent! Excellent I tell you, excellent!
Team Rose: which consists of Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit (and, as always, accompanied by Cheese the chao), and Big the Cat. This team has adventures that are beginner difficulty. This is good for young children, and getting beginners used to the game. You may also enjoy this team's cuteness.
9674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MAN THERE'S A GIANT HERD OF HAWKS THAT YOU GOTTA TAKE PICTURES OF BEFORE THEY CAN KILL THIS CAT. YOU KNOCK THIS ONE LIZARD INTO A POOL OF LAVA AND HE BURSTS OUT AS A FIRE DRAGON AND HE GETS SO MAD. THEN YOU THINK YOU DISCOVER THEM ALL AND SNAP ALL THE SHOTS BUT PROFESSOR OAK PUTS YOU ON THE MOON AND SAYS GET TO WORK THIS DOCTOR IS A MAD MAN AND THERE ARE RAINBOWS AND BALLS EVERYWHERE. BEST GAME.
So, turn out the lights, load that BFG, and blast some hell knights!!
It's still a great game, but you might want the PC version for better graphics and extra wrestlers.
But other than those problems, the game is great.

Story (score 7/10): Lunar is certainly no Final Fantasy VII. The story itself is pretty basic. You start off as Alex, who sets off on a quest to become a Dragonmaster (person of status who helps keep things in order and peace). Then the story falls into the old pattern of finding X number of things (in this case, 4 dragons) and saving the world from a power-hungry would-be ruler along the way. This is sort of the formula for every RPG in existence, but at least other games add in unique and intriguing twists on this old formula to keep things interesting. Lunar's storyline really has no extra twists or new concepts in it to keep things interesting (thus it relies on excellent characterization). I really wish the game had explored certain concepts in more detail, such as the why the Vile Tribe rejected Althena, Ghaleon's motivations, and Althena's personality, motivations, and origin. However, given the age of this game, the lack of story depth is forgivable. After all, almost all games made during this time period were pretty shallow story-wise.
You get some new weapons such as a bowgun, sub machine gun, spark gun and upgrades to Leons handgun, shotgun and magnum. The aiming feels more comfortable and you always seem to be in control of where you shoot. One downside is that auto aim isn't set by default. When you start the game, you have to press Select to get to the options, select the controller settings and set the mode to Type C to turn the auto aim feature on. A nice new addition is that the characters current health can be determined by their posture and movement speed. This makes it easier to tell what condition your player is in and you don't have to go to the inventory screen to find out how much health you have like with the first game. The Item Boxes are back where you can store items you don't need and pick up later, but a new item you can retrieve is the Side Pack which will allow you to carry two more items increasing your total to ten. Both Leon and Claire are joined by a support partner throughout the story. Leon is aided by a woman named Ada Wong who is searching for her boyfriend. Claire is aided by a 12 year old girl named Sherry who was told to go to the police station because of the dangers in Raccoon City. But even the police station is infested with zombies and bio weapons. The enemies in this game are really memorable; there are the lickers who are just terrifying and powerful, especially later in the game. Then theres Mr. X who is like the Terminator, he always comes back to hunt you down.
- CAW can't choose attires from the other wrestlers, or a moustache like Hogan to make a CAW version of the yellow and red Hogan.
The Game Boy's smaller screen caused some slight changes to the formula. For example, MegaMan seems to have slightly less HP than in the NES games. However, there's less in the game's layout, too. So it kinda evens out.
The Good:
If you have the original, is this worth a further 40 pounds? Not really - you'll probably get it nonetheless, but it's not a major leap forwards. On it's own merits it's excellent, though, a complex strategy / action game with added realism.

3822 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow would ever think that a fishing video game could be fun? Well Sega sure porved that it can with Sega Bass Fishing. This is the most realistic fishing sumilator to date and is extremely fun. You can play as either a man or a woman fisherman in a few different moddes including tounament which is extremely fun where you have 4 minutes in the morning, afternoon and night in 3 different spots to try and catch the most total weight of bass. You can choose from a large variety of lures and after you catch a certain amount of fish you can unlock new special lures. The realism when catching a bass is there. The smaller one's will put up a small struggle, but can be easily brought up to your boat, but the larger they get the harder they are to bring in and the more likely they are to snap your line. You can also use a fishing controller on your Dreamcast that makes this game so much more realistic. I highly recommend this game to fans of fishing. Hey, it's only 10 bucks.
This is a must for any gamer.
The gameplay? The characters control like forklifts. They are stiff, responsive to a degree, and varied. The enemies attack in various ways, mostly clinging to you and taking a bite out of your collar bone, and your only defense is the weapons scattered through the area and the meager munitions availble in the infested police station. To flesh out the game there are many puzzles. You will run back and forth, checking the map, and looking at odd ends of puzzle parts (Fuzes, tiles, cables, ect.) and trying to figure out where to shove what. That and avoiding getting your last ounce of life taken from you makes for an intense experience.
4205 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games, right up there with Neverwinter Nights and Counterstrike 1.6. This and those two games are about the only video games I ever play anymore, and with good reason. They are awesome games. The campaigns are fantastic, but what is possibly my favorite is the online play with other people. This is a must-have for any RTS lover.
Story: The story is simple, but extremely effective, Elliot and Claris are having trouble in their daily lives, and it gives them nightmares as they go to sleep at night. But trouble brews not just in their lives, but in Nightopia too. The evil Wizeman plans on taking over Nightopia, and turning all dreams into nightmares. All but one of his minions are loyal, NiGHTS discovers Claris' and Elliot's power of courage and show up in their dreams to help conquer their fears and save Nightopia. The story is a great match, and can't be rivaled for a game such as this. *10/10*

By the fifth world, the Forest of Illusion, the challenge has been ramped up, and to proceed you MUST find those deviously hidden secret exits. We then have the "tasty (but dangerous!)" Chocolate Island, which also features a level that how fast you beat individual sections determines what the next segment of that level will be. Then we have the challenging Ghost Ship (which, according to the instruction manual, is a wrecked ship from "Super Mario Bros. 3"), and the only boss level that Yoshi will enter. After that, naturally, is the Valley of Bowser.

Twisted Metal Black: First Playstation 2 release and back in the hands of the original creators who reformed under the name Incognito entertainment. Best Graphics easily so far and better than even the game to come after and gameplay thats arguably just or good or better than any of the other games. With nearly as many features as 4 including the first twisted metal game that was online capable(with a special disc not all copies could do that and official servers are shut down now) this game is considered the best by playstation 2 fans and many fans of the twisted metal series.
The bad: perhaps the worst voice acting ever.
It replicates the arcade experience nearly perfectly...back when it was released it was harder to get the gun but not so much now.
All other Zelda games, including the black sheep of the family (Zelda II), has plenty of bad guys to kill in the Overworld. But what have we in OoT? A few measly skeleton dudes at night, and some giant flying plants that you can hardly get too in Hyrule Field. Give me the old Zelda with bad guys streaming at you in every new screen. For all the time they put into it, you don't think it would be to hard to correct this problem.

But Starcraft is a strategy game, and its strategy is so deep you could spend years exploring it (and people -have- been playing this game for years!) The three different races play in different styles. The Zerg "grow" their bases and attack in overwhelming numbers, winning thru overkill. The noble Protoss conjure their buildings out of thin air, and their armies are often small, very tough, and invisible. The Terrans are the happy medium, with a little bit of everything.
One of Nobuo Uematsu's best works in music ever. This is definitely a buy worthy soundtrack. If you do not own the game or the soundtrack, I suggest you save up some money and get both of them right after you get through reading my review. Each song fits with the surroundings perfectly, the best part is when you listen to the song by itself then it will remind you of when you were in that specific area or a certain video in the game. I believe if music can do that than it is how the title "music" is deserved. While talking about the music the sounds that characters and monsters make are special in their own way too. Unfortunately as I mentioned earlier the characters talk in videos but there is no sound. So pft to them! But I am sure that you can tell from the dialog when the character may be excited or very angry.
Pros:
5195 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a total classic in every way. The plot, the gameplay, the characters...everything!
If you are a hardcore adventure gamer and don't have this one, you should be ashamed. As for everyone else, you are without excuse as well. Buy it now.
Overall, a fresh new concept with lots of promise, but the developers are not experienced enough to have made something stable, with ongoing excitement.

It is difficult at times, but not in the frustrating way that the first two Zelda games are. It's the first Zelda game I ever really played, and I'm glad I started with it. Although A Link to the Past is not one that I would replay many times, as there are others that are more fun for me, it has a style, a story, and a relevance that make it one of the most essential and authentic Zelda games out there.
Wait...I didn't just say the graphics are colorful, did I? Drat. The graphics are stronger than many other Genesis games, but I feel a sense of horror at putting this title above Comix Zone or Ecco. Of course, no Genesis titles are truly ever beautiful--ask Rembrandt to paint the Night Watch and then squeeze that into the severely limited Genesis palette. Color and shading is central to CastleVania as we know it today and have known it since 1991 with Super CastleVania 4, and the Genesis doesn't really allow much in the way of subtlety. In order to make up for the low palette, the game's critters are instead drawn in a way similar to your average early '90s Genesis title, in a cartoony fashion.
No issues or problems.

9830 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the game that introduced Kirby to the world of gaming. It is a fun little side scrolling game. Kirby is probably the cutest marshmallow hero ever invented. He can fly, suck up and spit out enemies along with objects. In this first installment he could not use weapons or allies until later games. Kirby's Dream Land is a great game for kids of all age groups, like Mario the game is pretty straightforward side scrolling fun. Most players will finish the game pretty quickly. But if you want to see the true ending you have to beat the game on hard mode and that is not a cakewalk and is actually pretty cool and worth your time. The game has 4 main stages with unique bosses at the end of each stage. I would easily rate this a 5 star game it is a fun little adventure game. These are the type of games that made the Gameboy a great console even without color, the play control and quality gameplay make this one of the best games of the 1st generation Gameboy.
Some of these infernal puzzles can be frustrating at times, but just about any player can play this entire game in single-player mode and come out victorious (given enough time and saved games); then, once you start thinking you're all big and bad, you can play at a higher difficulty level. You'd better be good before challenging your friends to some multi-player mayhem; when you're ready to go online, though, you'll find countless multi-player options at your disposal. The world's pretty much your oyster when it comes to multi-player options, ensuring that Quake 2 will be played and played some more for a long time to come.
When I first played this game back in 1997, my first thought was "This isn't Final Fantasy! I mean, they curse in the game, too! How dare they change my Final Fantasy?! How dare they take away what I loved about it?!" Yet, many of my friends loved it, and still love it for its nostalgic factor. Heck, it's sold over ten million copies worldwide, making it the highest-selling Final Fantasy of ALL time.
1. The graphics are dated, but a good story comes before great graphics. Final Fantasy XIII is prime example of great graphics and a terrible story. A great story is more important.
The honest truth is that many games have choppy framerate issues that make it extremely tough to enjoy a game. Many games are designed where you can actually get STUCK to the side of a wall when going around a corner (Duke Nukem anyone?). Not to mention many games have an unresponsive button system (you press a button and nothing happens or your command is delayed a couple seconds- ANNOYING!). Quake II does NOT have any of these problems. It somehow manages to avoid all the problems that many games have a nasty habit of having and instead gives us a sweet-looking and easily playable game.
8157 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a lot of fun even though many levels are a bit easy. Yoshi rules and finding all of the secrets give it a new twist from SM3.
2531 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!
8086 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 well, i downloaded the demo, played it for 5 minutes, then came here and ordered this game. its got pretty good sound (in my opinion) and the best game play any first person shooter has had, and tis got an awsome story line, i recomend this to any fan of the FPS genre.
- fantastic real time battle system
4917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A normal N64 cable would never make it to where I want to play, but this one allowed me to play from the most comfortable spot in my room.
7559 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked great and came on time..
On the Menu screen, choose key codes, scroll down and choose the Zelda keycode. If the GameShark displays
7097 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have never heard of perfect dark or have never played it then you are missing out. This is the only game in its genre for the N64 to match the gameplay and graphics of Goldeneye 007. I swear by this game and name it one of the best games of all time. Great replay value, multiplayer and single player missions makes this game worth purchasing for any amount of money.
2723 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Originally released on the Sega CD, the developers thought that there could be some enhancements. So it ended up here and although graphically it looks like it came from the Sega CD era, the other enhancements and not to mention the great story and characters is more than enough to get this. Just good luck finding it, since it was in such demand, Working Designs stopped making them and made it incredibly rare to find.
6252 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Awesome
This game is beautifully made, with excellent graphics, levels, and play control. You can't ask for anything more.
THE WEAPON'S ARE:
The graphics in this game is amazing. The look of all the different attacks are amazing, especially the magical and special character skills. The characters are, as some may put it, Super-Deformed (SD), but they look amazing. The levels are in 3D and look really nice. And each weapon has a unique look, which is pretty sweet.
This game is really fun to play and not only that, the graphics are very nice and colorful. The colors in this game are much brighter than the other Gex games which makes this game even better and more fun to play, but the camera is a bit slow, but that is ok. You will get used to it after a while. The bad thing about this game is that there is adult language in it. It says bad words like d--- and s---. While you are playing this game you will hear really, really, really funny one-liners from Gex, but some of them have bad words in the one-liners or shall we say quotes. Believe me do not let kids under the age of 10 to play this game. That was the reason why I gave this game a four star instead of a five star. But hey, this game is okay for the whole family anyway, if you have a child that is younger than the age of ten and you don't want your child to hear the bad words than you are lucky, because there is a way to turn off the voice of Gex that way Gex won't even speak at all. You can turn the Voice from Gex off by going to the pause menu.
Pros: The bundle comes with both a rumble pak and a controller pak (or memory card). How cool is that? If you're buying stuff off of Amazon, it saves you about four dollars in shipping fees. What's better is how cheap the Tremor Pak Plus is now. If you snoop around, you can get this bundle new for the price you'd pay for a either individual product by itself!
All in all, this game is truly a classic, and yet another impressive sequel in the Zelda series. From the sensible controls to the superb storyline to the awesome soundtrack, Ocarina of Time is a gem in the adventure game genre.
thing because that means that the game starts out with a bang as far as music is concerned,

6051 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hello Rayman!
Buy one.
7291 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was my most anticipated that was going to come out on the N64. I had very high expectations for this game and not only did it meet them it amazed me the first time I played it. DK64's graphics are by far the best on the N64, the gameplay is kind of repetitive, and the sound isn't that bad. Anyone who liked Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie or Mario 64 will enjoy this game. The short version: Graphics: 4.8 Sound: 4.5 Control: 4.4 Fun Factor: 4.7 Total: 4.6
293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I saw the ad and I was in need of new PS2 memory cards, so I ordered them. The ad was accurate. The company shipped them ot promptly. They arrived in my mailbox in excellent condition. I would buy from this company again. Fantastic job!!!
8951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What is it about?
.
The one downside is that the single player mode hasn't aged as well. Unlocking the four hidden characters is pretty simplistic, though it's hard to fault a 14ish year old game for that. This is a fantastic buy for anyone who wants to start up their collection of N64 games or for anyone looking for a great party experience
This was a good idea, playing through multiple games where you meet up with past characters that you played, but the games needs a huge overhaul in order to give it more variety.
The music is perhaps the best part about Castlevania: SOTN. The tunes are addicting and you'll be humming them for a while. The tunes were so good that I found myself just... standing around in one area just so I could enjoy the music.
The concept behind BLAST CORPS is that for reasons I never found out, you will commandeer vehicles and destroy buildings so that a missile won't collide with anything, thus causing a massive explosion. The missile operates on a single path, and it's your job make sure nothing gets in its way to your recovery truck. Forgive me if I don't have the story correct, because quite frankly, it doesn't matter. If you can't enjoy the simple pleasure of using a yellow vehicle to demolish buildings so that a red missile doesn't explode, I can't help you.
Who cares, they were still a blast to solve anyway.
3640 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 You know, sitting behind a computer screen, I'm glad no one can see the look of disappointment that appeared on my very face the minute I began playing Tekken 3. I am incredibly disappointed that after reading so many positive reviews claiming Tekken 3 to not only be a significant improvement over the previous two Tekken games, but also tagged "the ultimate tournament fighter" that the actual game would turn out to be *so* underwhelming.
While the game has great platforming abilities it's plagued with cheap deaths and not being able to find your way most of the time. With no map or any hints what-so-ever it can make things frustrating. While the game sports many different enemies and environments it makes you feel like some thing's missing anyway. The main draw to this game was the unique idea of 2D and 3D mixed platforming.
Even if you own newer titles I would still purchase this one, simply for the experience.
3143 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was a bit of a let down compared to its predacessor, Final Fantasy VI (US III). It's still a good game, the second best one from the three released for PS (IX is the best of the PlayStation era). The dark realism pioneered by this game made for a good story, and was much more well done than Final Fantasy VIII. The addition of FMV for the first time was also a nice new element. However, the gameplay and story still fall short of Final Fantasy VI and IX. Worth a play, especially since the price is good now.
The game is very solid. Well placed and thought provoking puzzles. Some nice action, great graphics which still hold up today, and lots of fun. The only complaint is the lack of a decent ending, and that I have to shoot a fellow human at least 60 times in order to kill him. How untrealistic is that?
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
Don't waste you money on these cheap SNES controller knockoffs
Enemies. New characters are added, some are great, some not so great. Your enemies now have the A.I. that allows them to steal items from in front of you. If they need health, they will race you for it and take the health. This is especially frustrating when you are fighting Minion and you have one shot left to kill him and he quickly finds full health. *Cue controller hitting floor*
9874 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic and Knuckles was made to expand sonic 3 by 100% and gives you a greater reward for collecting the emeralds twice throughout the game, Hyper Sonic, an even stronger version of super sonic that is truly a sight to behold. You have the Genesis why not S&K? you're literally missing half of sonic 3
Controls- 10/10 The amazing control scheme that made Goldeneye so great has made a flawless return. You use the R button to aim and the control stick to move the cursor around, and it's easier since your screen doesn't always move with the cursor, a flaw that ruined every PS2 shooter for me. I absolutely despise the double control stick aiming scheme used in Halo and Killzone (The games weren't that wonderful to begin with, though, especially Halo, avoid that one at all costs). Anyway, no complaints here either. So far so perfect...
It's third person. I am of the oppinion that shooters are easier to play when they are first person with a third person option. (Fortunately for me, there is a patch out there for FP in Max Payne)
2243 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first bought my N64 the expansion came with it. I didn't know much about expansion packs until I searched online. It basically improves the resolution and graphics in the games you play. I know that it only works for some older games like mario kart 64, or super mario 64. Required games are donkey kong 64 and the legend of zelda majora's mask. It's pretty good I guess accept I kinda wish it worked for all games.
Usually, I like space games and I was hoping that this would have a Star Trek-ish feel to it. I also quite the Wing Commander games and since it only cost me 99p then I thought I might as well give it a go. Call me shallow, but it didn't give me instant satisfaction and uninstalled it after only 45 minutes.
4759 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It doesn't make any sense. How can this game be considered a classic? It has WAY too many flaws for people to continue naming it "best game of all-time" or "best Castlevania game you'll ever play".
I would suggest you don't use the strategy guide until you have completed the game. If you do, then you are cheating yourself and making the game not even worth playing. Beat the game and then look at the guide to see what you have missed.
Not only that, but you keep sliding between the real Silent Hill and an entirely too eerie, pitch black nightmare version of Silent Hill. All you can see is what your flashlight shows you, and let me just say that when little demon children come after you out of the dark, you'll be calling for your mama. These little demon kids (they travel in pairs - one grabs you around the legs so you can't move, and the other comes up and starts stabbing), the poor nurse, and a deranged old woman you meet in the story are probably the most memorable characters and creatures I've seen in a game.
6674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super fun
Racing games were one of the many reasons why the N64 had such a following and Extreme G, while not the best of the bunch, proved that it was fun to play by yourself and with other people. The series continued on with Acclaim releasing Extreme G 2 on the N64 and Extreme G 3 on the Nintendo Gamecube and Playstation 2. This game will cost you a pretty penny unless you get it used so if you haven't played it, give it a chance and pick this one up.
All the mini bosses put up a decent fight as well. The challenge is about average, its not very difficult nor is it a cakewalk either. I liked how the creators had a stage like Armored Armadillo that let you fill up your subtanks quickly by killing the bats getting all the energy. I thought the Spider boss always put up a good fight and enjoyed every battle with it. Sigma is a very good villain, more fearsome than Dr. Wiley. Besides I was getting tired of fighting Dr. Wily anyway. The X-series games would get better but the first one is definitely worth playing. I would rate this a 5 star game.
1060 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ahhhh! I love this game! It's so great. My friend gave it to me and I fell in love with it fast! I played Mario Kart for the SNES and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. When I found out Mario Kart was for N64, I went bezerk. This was the first game to my N64 collection. You choose between 8 characters. You can get over 10 different powerups, including the legendary star which makes you invincible, banana peels which make opponents skid out of control, lightning bolts which makes characters small so you can smush them, mushrooms that boost your engine, and 3 kinds of shells. A green shell will go and bounce off anything, A red shell will do its best to find a character and smash them, and a spike shell with automatically find the player in 1st place and destroy them without fault. The reason it is 4 stars is because they didn't go the extra mile. If you play 1 or 2 player(s) you can do a Grand Prix, but not with 3 or 4. In player 1 mode you cant do a battle or do a vs. with the CPU. Battle only contains 4 tracks. I guess what i'm trying to say is that i wish it was more open. Taking shortcuts won't work because Lukita drags you back when your at the top of the mountain. This game would be the best if you were allowed to do more.
You cannot go wrong with getting this game. It made guys like me, who don't like RPGs, take a chance and play this game. If you're tempted to find it, I wish you good luck because there aren't many people willing to part with it and for those who are selling it are asking for a pretty high price. You can download this for your Nintendo Wii for 800 points ($8.00), which is a pretty sweet deal. I have the original SNES cartridge and absolutely love this game. You will too and you can find videos of this game in action so check them out first if you want to. ********HIGHLY RECOMMENDED********
3057 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VII in my opinion is the best RPG game ever created and it definately blows away the others that have followed. The graphics are not as good as the ones that followed but one has to think of when this game came out. The story was supurb, music was great and there's not too many villians like Sephiroth. It took me many, many hours to beat this and many days at work struggling to stay awake from staying up all night playing. Not too many games have kept my interest like this one did, my life wouldn't have been complete if I didn't beat this game. Most that like this type of games know what I'm talking about but to those who haven't played this should check it out. This is definately the break through game that changed RPG games forever.
Cons (there are few):
Controls:
At a few points during the game however, during an important scene in particular, a character
3484 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome. The plot is intriguing, the characters are realistic and it has some references to RE2. It posesses some of the problems that the other RE games had: The controls still {bite} and the inventory system is pretty difficult to deal with at times (how does a key take up as much space as a shotgun?) but you get used to the controls and you just have to deal with the inventory. A nifty new edition is the ability to make new and stronger ammo by creating various combinations of gunpowders. You also become faced with situations where you have to decide what to do and your decision alters the course of the game (and in one case, which ending you see!) which was not seen in the first 2. You are also stalked by one of the coolest looking monsters ever: the nemesis. temporarily knocking this beast out can yield rewards that can make your life quite a bit easier, but be warned, it is no easy task. Make sure that you are at least familiar with the plot of RE1 before you play this (RE2 never really comes up). very fun and challenging.
WELL AS THE GRAPHICS ! PLUS YOU COULD PLAY AS 2 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS INTHE SAME GAME BUT WITH DIFFERENT STORIES. PLUS NEW OTHER FEATURES AS WELL .. THESE GAMES ARE GREAT TO PLAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO CHEAT AT THEM. PLUS BEING LOTS OF FUN .. PLAY ROOKIE MODE AND HAVE COOL MACHING GUNS WITH TONS OF AMMO FOR LEON ..AND PLAY '' RESIDENT EVIL -NEMESIS '' TOO !! IT ROCKS MAN ! I NOW HAVE TO TAKE OUT ALL 4 GAMES TO PLAY AGAIN TO DRIVE MY WIFE CRAZY !! SO GET IT TODAY ! YOU WON'T BE BORED WITH TONS OF DIALOG THAT YOU HAVE TO SIT THRU , LIKE IN RPG GAMES. BUT YOU WILL LOVE HEARING THE STORY UNFOLD AND KILL ZOMBIES AND OTHER NASTIES ! SO TURN OUT THE LITES , AND SLAY SOME UNDEAD ASS !!!!!!!!

8619 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Received in timely manner. Works as advertised. I'm happy.
Is it worthy of all the fanfare?
Cons: A small game, only 900 MB and 4 cds Bird-eye view means medium sized land Only can have 5 other charecters in your party
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Please read both of my reviews of Comanche 4 as well, written under both this name here and also "Highwinder", the name I used for the most recent review, both of which are here on Amazon. Just search for Comanche 4.
Overall: 10/10 Buy this game now, If you don't have it!!
I often associate Golden Axe with Streets of Rage since the gameplay in the first games was very similar (I also bought them on the same day back in March 1993). But while the SOR series only got better and more sophisticated I am afraid that Golden Axe just got crapper. It tries to be the gaming equivalent of a big budget Conan movie but comes off as no more than a Roger Corman mini-series. You've never played a game so stripped down and bland as this.
5660 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have been a fan of the Final Fantasy series since it first came to the US for the NES. This Episode of Final Fantasy has amazing graphics for the time and even for some games coming out in this day and age. The story is a decent and straight forward one that has some decent characters. The game is overall a lot of fun with some new ideas in game mechanics. I would recommend this game for anyone that is into sci-fi and RPGs.
All RESIDENT EVILs basically proceed from the same premise: the evil Umbrella Corporation has developed a virus which mutates animals into horrid killing machines. Because Umbrella is so darn curious about its new toy, the virus keeps "accidentally" getting loose, turning ordinary pets into monsters and people into ravening zombies. In the first entry, the virus was released in a small environs of a lab-mansion on the outskirts of Racoon City; this time, however, the germs have escaped into the city itself, turning it into a apocalyptic wasteland populated by lab projects gone wrong and....you.
Resident Evil 2 introduces Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who would go on to star in future hit installments Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica (respectively speaking). Leon is a rookie cop in Raccoon City and meets up with Claire during an infestation of zombies and other monsters in the small town that is on the brink of destruction. Together, they must get out and survive while Claire is focusing on finding her brother, Chris Redfield. It's a simple plot, simple premise. The gameplay might feel stiff to those accustomed to the control scheme of games such as Resident Evil 4 and 5, but trust me: if you give it time, you will find it fun and rewarding after a short while.
And who IS this Mr. Big exactly. The Jacko of 1989 fighting against a child-napper, who's motives for stealing kids is unknown in the game, seems prophetic in a split-personality kind of way. Just like in Thriller where he played a ghoulish, inhuman beast, eerily foreshadowing the future.
2962 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fantastic game. Its got a great storyline full of twists and turns. It has a lot of optional dungeons and bosses an optional characters too. Its your average 40 hours but obtaining the gold chocobo and gttings couds final limit break can be chalenging and take hours themselves. I recommend this game.
The bosses are great. I won't go into great detail, but I've always loved the fight with Volvagia the lava dragon. There is something so classic and satisfying about watching Link defeat a lava dragon in a volcano with the master sword and hylian shield. Also, the final battle with Gannondorf is a real treat, and I never get tired of firing the magic arrows of light at him. The fight has a very epic quality to it, and the final battle against the horribly mutated Gannon has a nightmarish ambience to it.
Resident Evil 2
9005 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, Thanks
3034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 People seem to forget the number one reason Final Fantasy 7 is loved so fondly and remembered all these years later- it was one of the first video games able to tell a story that MILLIONS of people cared about. In fact, it's probably the first RPG to ever tell such an incredible story. It was also groundbreaking back in the day having extremely-realistic cutscenes featured, along with a quest that carried over 3 discs. That's why the game is remembered.
6914 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game is awesome, it even includes a chess version of mortal combat
4381 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I almost didn't buy this game, because I am not a big fan of "Tomb Raider" style games. But since I am an Indiana Jones fan, I made the plunge.
830 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this ganme was very entertaining i really enjoyed it i'm not to fond of these types of games but goldeneye was awesome.
4274 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Roller Coaster Tycoon is increadable addicting. I would suggest having a friend hide the game on occation so you can get some sleep. You can do so much in this game is hard to grasp. Some of the thing are build your own rollercoaster or have a custom made on. Keep your park popular and keep building the new mega attration that will keep you top.
The multiplayer is pretty cool, too. While you can't REALLY play co-op like in the new DKC game that's out on Wii, your friend can cover in for you if you die. One player plays as Donkey Kong, and the other plays as Diddy Kong. Once one player is participating in the action, the other player can't really do anything. But if that one player dies or presses Select, then it's time for the second player to play. You can also compete against each other.
Overall- 10/10
5709 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For a game that's nearly a decade old this classic RPG stands up to the test of time surprisingly well. Originally released for the Play Station, I was luck enough to be able to relive this game's fantastic story by playing through it recently (thank you, backwards-compatible PS3).
4612 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Yes, Quake II, the game PC owners have been enjoying for a long time, has finally made it to the PlayStation. Being a fan of PC first-person shooters, I was less than excited. I mean, I've already played the single-player to death on the PC, and multiplayer FPS games on a console are usually quite pathetic. The N64 version was pretty good, provided that you could look past the flaws that most fans of the PC version would notice in the first 20 seconds. The PlayStation version has many of these same flaws, but given the PlayStation's rapidly aging hardware, it's easier to overlook these flaws. While you may not remain interested in the single-player mission to see it to its completion, the four-player multiplayer in Quake II will make you glad you had picked up a multitap and three extra Dual Shocks. The storyline is your typical hostile alien sort of thing. You, as a space marine, land on the planet of Stroggos with the intention of blowing up everything in sight. Unfortunately, you get separated from the rest of the marines and are forced to go it alone. So now you must run all over this planet, collecting keys, opening doors, taking elevators, and wiping out various alien monsters before they tear you in half. To wipe out these aliens, you'll have to find weapons - your wimpy default blaster simply won't cut it. You'll find a couple shotguns, two types of machine guns, a grenade launcher, a rocket launcher, and two types of energy weapons - one of which is the almighty BFG, a gun that spits out a huge power ball and wipes out just about anything that gets near the blast. You'll also find a great deal of ammo, armor, and health scattered about the levels. A game like this really requires a good control scheme to succeed. Thanks to excellent use of the Dual Shock controller, it has one. In the default setup, you use the left stick to look around and the four buttons on the front of the pad to move in any of four directions. You can also configure the right analog stick so you can use it in much the same way. The R buttons handle firing and jumping, and the L buttons let you cycle through your weaponry. You can play the game on a standard controller, but trust me - you wouldn't want to. The game also supports the PlayStation mouse, but if you're already used to using a mouse to control your first-person shooters, then you probably have a PC and you've been playing the PC version of Quake II for ages, making this game mostly useless. Graphically, the PlayStation really does a decent job. The textures may look a little washed-out, a few models may have been simplified, and a few frames of animation may have been chopped here and there, but overall, the game runs at a very playable speed. The tradeoff is that the game has much more frequent loads. Most of the level modification between the PC and PlayStation versions is in the addition of many more small, closed-off hallways that serve as little loading areas. At first it's not a big deal, but when you've got to go back and forth between different parts of a level to accomplish various tasks, loading every 20-30 seconds is enough to make you crazy. The game's sound effects and music are taken directly from the PC version, and overall, the sound is great.
Graphics: You have to be a little forgiving of Starfox in this area. It's a fairly early N64 game. In the grand scheme of N64 graphical quality, Starfox 64 is probably somewhere near the bottom. But if you're turning down the new 3DS Starfox in favor of the old school one released fifteen years ago, chances are you won't care about that.
5085 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't really compare it to Quake 3, but as a fan of Quake 2, halflife, and finally Team Fortress Classic- This is bliss! I am a hardcore Online fragger for two years strong now, and I've become very taken with the teamplay FPS games. I feel that it adds to the game tremendously- and Unreal Tourny takes it even further!
Value: 10/10 - This is one game you will start repeatedly and still have the same enjoyment level every time you play.
What I think I really enjoyed most about Drakan is that it provides the player with a solid and immersive world in which to play. There is a tremendous sense of freedom for movement, both on and off the dragon. I would have preferred FMV cut scenes or even live action cut scenes using the stunning model they used for Rynn in press gatherings, but the video engine scenes are satisfactory and good enough to move the story along. Drakan is a solid game and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes their fantasy light with a side order of red dragon.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME
Battle of Hoth: 9/10 - This is great to start, but gets boring after a while. I still really like killing the AT-ST's though.
To top it off, Half-Life gamers themselves were able to make their own maps, character skins and mods- propelling this game and its community into unbeatable longevity. It has been more than a year and a half since this game has come out, and still new FPS games are hard pressed to mimic its appeal. Even though everyone must know its reputation by now, I feel obligated to pay tribute to this amazing game.
The bad?
Gameplay: Lunar does something different (though not together uncommon) in that spells are actually gained when you obtain a certain level as opposed to finding them in the world, buying them from shops and the like. It encourages level grinding so you can obtain new spells though enemies can get just as bad since they can level up with you a little (mainly bosses though) but really it's just going through a dungeon, beating enemies - which are thankfully onscreen like Chrono series - finding item chests and making it to the boss and whomping them. There's also some collectables called bromides which are character artworks that show up as mini-cutscenes and since the ladies are quite lovely to ogle, I like collecting the things.
14-Genocide city(?%)This is on Sonic 2 beta, but totally unplayable. They put it on Sonic 3, and renamed it Launch base.
Final Fantasy 8 was nothing short of amazing even in the credits. The overture was already a mind blowing number from Nobuo Uematsu. The picture quality like FF7 at the time was breathtaking. So as you start a new game, you are already thrown into another beautiful musical score under the theme of Sorceress Edea. You then see several flashes and a fight between Seifer and Squall. So this intro already had my attention. After the opening ends, Squall is in the infirmary and the game pretty much goes from there. I am not going to give a walkthrough, but in storyline the game really went above and beyond. This is the reason why they call Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy. We see progression in Squall who pretty much could be a rival of Cloud, and also the other characters in the game. From the ballroom dance, Dollet landing, the missions, sorceress/ possessions to the space scenes, the developing intimacy between characters, and the final boss battles, I can play this game over and over. Storyline 10/10.
So if you got a working Game Boy/Game Boy Advance, track down a copy of this game. You'll have fun playing this game and if you got kids, they will enjoy it too. It is well worth your time.
3692 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've always liked SEGA because of the great games they provided us with. Who would have thought a game about a running blue hedgehog (Sonic The Hedgehog) would be so fun? Or that a worm in a power suite (Earthworm Jim) would be so challenging? And after all these years of us having to deal with lousy 3D games that have no deapth (Most of them 3D killers of 2D classics), SEGA finally rises to show us what games SHOULD be like! "Sonic Adventure" is probibly the first 3D game I liked that was originaly 2D (Very unlikely that happens)! Plus with some of the best games on the system that's out there, I see a bright future for SEGA! So what about the the other companys (Nintendo, Sony)? Well I was for years a big Nintendo fan, untill they made the Nintendo 64. What a waste of a system. I see promise for their Gamecube system, but I'm going to be cautious about it after what happened with their last system! And Sony is trash! Always has been, always will be! With that said this is the system to buy! Happy Birthday Dreamcast!!!
3103 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, this is a great game. I have already written a review about it. What I am here to say is, don't pay attention to any reviews from "a gamer from lakeforest, michigan". If you go through the reviews, this child with no life has gone through and written MANY 1 star reviews that have about 1/2 paragraph of text. He has also gone through and given 4 or so "good review" ratings to each one and then gone through to give 4 or 5 "bad review" ratings to anything 4 stars or above. So, try to avoid those reviews. They are misleading, because they are all from the same person who has nothing to do but attempt to manipulate people. Once again, I have already written a review, so you can read that if you wish.
Quake III is a classic not to be messed with. The graphics engine for that time was superb. The graphics could have done better though.
Mega Man Legends pretty much plays like the earlier Tomb Raider games control wise. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with the control scheme, such as a lock on system that doesn't allow you to move while locked on an enemy (which was fixed in MML2), and the fact you also must contend with moving the camera manually in order to compensate for the lack of a better lock on system to hit your mark.
overall: except for the inclusion of mr. carrington the story mode is a bust so unless you have enough mates to make the multi worthwhile don't buy it.

Set in the bizarre, surrealistic world of the Planes, designing Planescape: Torment must have been an experience. How many times have we played games supposedly set in an alternate reality, but where the buildings look eerily similar to ours? The external architecture of Planescape: Torment's buildings, many of which served no apparent purpose, looks like something Gaudi could have designed had he been on crack! The interiors, however, are usually disappointingly familiar. Some of the spells, and there are many, are worth learning and casting just to see the effects! Members of your party have their own little idiosyncrasies (Annah's tail-flicking, Morte's eye-rolling, and Dak'kon constantly sipping from his flask) and like to chat or argue among themselves - which can be disconcerting just when you're about to wade into battle!
THIS IS NOT A NEW GAME. So do not expect an exploding eye-candy or a fast-paced game (try YouTube to check out whether this may not be your cup of tea). One has to let himself immerse into the world of the Planes and the doomed city of Sigil. But their magic shall always stay with you.
4 player is fun
This is unquestionably the best strategy game I have ever played.
Rand and Robyn Miller, the brothers who created the wildly successful game, hit upon a winning idea. Place someone into an unknown world where the clues he or she uncovers reveals the story. And one of the biggest perks of all - you can't die.
lunar the silver star (sega cd) 7/10 good.. but very obsolete, overshadowed by silver star story
Of Coarse the important part about final fantasy is the story and game play. The story without giving out any spoilers for the few that haven't played it yet, in this game is probably the best we will be able to see in a video game (besides final fantasy 6 and maybe star wars knights of the old republic). What I like about the earlier final fantasy games is that its kinda like reading a book only that your playing and immersed into it. So with that being said I actually preferred this over the newer ones with the voice acting. If your a younger gamer or have kids the may have a hard time getting into a final fantasy game until the have reached the age the can read and perhaps this game can even help them learn or want to learn how to read. Also for newcomers of the series you do not need to play any of the previous final fantasy's to understand the story. Most Final Fantasy's with the exception of the ons that have -2 on them have nothing to do with one another story wise other than a few minor references here and there so if you just want to play one final fantasy you are invited to do that.
8501 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Around Christmas '99, I was told about this game from a dude in a Japanese Animation store in New York. He said: "If you really liked Tactics, you'll like Vandal Hearts. However, if you really loved Tactics, you might not like it as much." Well, I got it and beat it, and I think what he said was on the money.
The thing I find most memorable about this game is the gameplay. Like I mentioned earlier this game takes megaman into zelda like enviorments with a few rpgs elements. There is a open world which was decent in size for its time, which the game takes place in a small town. There are dungeons to explore which you do so in order to find upgrades to your equipment. Speaking of which you can purchase and find diffrent armor and weopens with diffrent specs (attack, fire rate, etc) in a rpg like menu. With that being said it still manages to feel like a megaman game. There is plenty of missions of which you are running and gunning while jumping on platforms. The bosses while set up like zelda can be taken down easier by weopens you find around in dungeons.
Some of the level's are pretty and nice looking. And some are dark and where are some of the light's? You know light's that shine in your eye's well anyaway good game I wish some of the game that I playden where like is one. Don't you?
2097 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Myst is a game of strategy. You must use your mind to figure out the puzzles. Sometimes they might be confusing or very tough. But thats just the fun of this great game. Graphics are very nice in Myst. This game should be a must have for anyone who likes strategy-type games.

5680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the greatest games of all time, definitely a must buy if you're a fan of Role Playing Games.
I love this game! Building my own dungeon, slapping monsters, fighting rival dungeon masters... May favourite mode is the pet dungeon mode, where there are no enemies, just goals to achieve. It offers quite a bit of challenge without being terribly frustrating.
I have a solid system and have had no issues running this at all.
The plot is that you are a soldier who has just recieved some cybernetic implants. You wake up from cold-sleep not knowing quite who you are or how you got to where you are, and only have a voice on your comm telling you what you need to do. You're given help in the form of cybernetic modules that upgrade your skills and allow you to gain new ones. You pick up weapons from fallen monsters and also gain healing items.

1671 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though it came out a little over six years ago, Twisted Metal 2 still stands as one of PS1's best games and the best Twisted Metal game in the entire series. The graphics are a bit dated by today's standards, but everything else still holds up. The environments are huge and fully interactive (you can blow up the Eiffel Tower in Paris and destroy he gown around the Statue of Liberty to reveal a bikini in New York), and the control was at its peak here in all of the Twisted Metal games. Without a doubt a Playstation classic, this deserves to be in every PS1 or PS2 player's library.
PD is also a great 1 player game, with i7 missions to play on Agent, Special Agent, Perfect Angent, and another to unlock if you're good enough. I like stages 1, 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 16 the most, only 17 is bad in my opinion. Well, I'm done.

Second I love this game. The Graphics and the story is pretty good. The GHOUL system is great because you can shoot different parts of the body. I love when I play games and shooting a guy in the head will cause more damage then a shot in the arm. that is just common sense. but what if I shoot them in the foot? they will still be hurt and probably hop around like mad in Real Life as in This game.
I don't believe anyone has ever finished this game without some help. There is too much slow clicking around and backtracking to keep the attention of even the dullest person.
"Galaxion" is another arcade classic. It takes the premise of "Space Invaders" one step further so that instead of defending a planetary base from destruction and invasion, you're in space trying to destroy an enemy fleet before they blow you up. In "Space Invaders" you could hide your gun behind turrets, but there is no place to hide in "Galaxion."

Pharoah adds some extra features which allow it to rise above the others - Monuments, and Nile farming. The Nile works on an annual cycle of flooding its banks, so any aggriculture must be very well planned because your farmers must grow food for the entire year. Monuments are just what you expect from ancient Eygpt - pyramids, the Sphinx, Obelisx, and various Temple complexs. They are huge, and you can watch as your workers build them brick by brick, dragging the stones from quarries, up the wooded ramps, to atop the pyramids. Wonderful.
211 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great.
The worst part of Hellfire is that playing it means making a tradeoff. It is not a seamless expansion to Diablo - it's almost like a separate game. Your Diablo characters aren't portable between Hellfire and the original game, so you have to roll new ones. And while Diablo went on to gain five more patches after Hellfire's release - Sierra only patched their game once... so Hellfire players have to contend with bugs long-fixed in Diablo. In addition to those bugs, Hellfire brings a set of its own, which never got resolved. Hellfire players can't (without hacking the game) play multiplayer. This expansion is not playable on Battle.net. The music in new areas is lacking, and because it isn't read from the CD, the game glitches whenever an item is picked up. The drop system is bugged out the wazoo, to where finding some of the new unique items is actually impossible.

We definitely own games that we played once, had a fun time doing so, and then put the game away never to be touched again. We have games that we wrote five star reviews when they came out but barely remember them several years later. This is NOT the case with StarCraft. We adored it when it came out, we kept playing it, and even years later we are strong advocates of the game.
16. N64: In Zelda 64, after meeting Zelda, look out the window, and you can find some pictures of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and the Princess. Yoshi also comes up. Malon and Talon wear Bowser amulets also. Just goes to show, Nintendo likes cameos.

Those who love masterpieces of excellent 2D platforming action would be amiss without this purchase for their SNES - and better yet, "Super Mario World" is also available on the Wii and Wii U's Virtual Console. Pick this one up! You won't regret it.
7424 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game looks fine, but it doesn't work. I bought 6 games from this seller, 5 of which did not work.
If you still haven't played this masterpiece almost 20 years later you owe it to yourself to try it at least once in one of its many versions including the Wii's virtual console.
7002 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Almost a year after the Nintendo 64 made its debut to the world, Nintendo started to gain steam in rolling out new games. Starfox 64 was released in 1997 and was the sequel to the popular SNES game, Starfox. One of the first games to tote the much liked Rumble Pack support, it was an instant hit and sold millions of copies. It was and still is a great game to play to this day.
Aquatic Ruins- 2/10: Aquatic Ruins was the first bad zone in Sonic 2. I never said that every zone was great. The main issue with Auqatic Ruins was it's distorting and glitchy layers. Plants blocked my view, the scrolling was funky, and I could never really tell what I was doing. The boss ended up being better then the other two, but Eggman was a little too difficult.
The route-setting mechanism in RCT is more primitive than STP's (where you just have to drag your mouse around the area you want your worker to partol) but surprisingly RCT's works better in the sense that it's much easier to add or remove a section of the park from someone's route. Neither game has a feature for you to say "Who's patrolling this area?" which results in some drudge work when your park gets big. You can't rename your workers in RCT, either, which was a big help in STP for keeping track of them.
8325 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game with different endings. Be sure to save a lot. You CAN die. Took a lot of memory. But it is worth it. This is second time playing it. Music is melencholy...sp?
8979 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic and great game. It is one of the best games, in my opinion. Could play it over and over again.
6029 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first and main half-life game when I first played it I really enjoyed it, then I got opposing force, and it was to me a fantastic addition to the half-life mod collection! Finnaly, fight along side soldiers and as one, the marines that gave you trouble in the first game, you are now one of them! Opposing force is packed with new weapons and aliens, plus more advanced marines than the last half-life, use engineers to cut through sealed doors, the medic can heal you, and your friendly soldiers, but only for a limited time, besides the point, There is one thing that disturbes me about this game like the last one, the ending, NO not the adminstrator g-man again! He follows you everywhere, then talks to you about sending you to a place and the end! But, I would reccomend this to gamers who are half-life fans , and to the ones especcially who like marines! Graphics:Not much changed from the last one. Sound:New sounds, but not much changed. Control:Like the last gameOverall:A fun fantastic game! ps. Multiplayer rocks just as much in this one as the last main game as well!
The music is just an abomination, take a listen:
Before I end this, let me add that this game is somewhat tougher to learn than Sim Theme Park. I could see 6-8 year olds playing STP whereas this game strikes me as having a 10-year old lower level.
The storyline is not cliched or unoriginal, as some might think. I hate it when people take a completely unique story, ignore all of its distinctive features, dumb it down into a bunch of sweeping generalizations, and then call it unoriginal. The characters are far more likeable than the heroes Square has been churning out lately. This story is a lot more lighthearted than Square's latest stories too, which will be seen as good by some players and bad by others. I personally like the brighter and more heroic overtones of this game since it reminds me of Squaresoft's SNES titles, back when they truly did their best work.
364 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Charges the gameboy! What a wonderfully futuristic and awesome age we live in!
Now for some light pros and cons for the younger gamers who didn't grow up with the N64 but are used to the era of Wii/PS3/X-360:
I wasn't inspired or felt that heartache or anything like that..
The fighting engine in KI Gold is completely insane. It's ridiculously fast, brutal, and fully animated. KI really puts other N64 fighters (particularly the Mortal Kombat series) to shame. The engine has some pre-programmed combos and also allows you to invent your own. I'll admit it's not as deep as Street Fighter - mindless button mashing can create some intense crowd-pleasing combos whereas Street Fighter is more skill-based - but you'll need all the help you can to survive. There are a slew of one-hit finishing moves that can instantly deplete your second energy bar, and the AI isn't shy about pulling these on you every chance it gets. What's also interesting is that while the fighting is strictly 2D, the arenas are full 3D, and certain moves such as throws will change your character positions in that space.

I can hear the cries of fan boys now "b bu bu but what about Twilight Princess?" they will say. Yeah? Well, what about the Twilight Princess is so damn important? Oh you mean that title on the Wii that no one will remember in 30 years? Oh yeah - that one was fun if you like weird motion controls that humiliate you and arthritis by the age of 30.
1678 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really love this game it has all the old games that people can play taht doesn't deal with violence like all the new games that they make today thank you for keeping purity alive in these types of game we need more of them and less of the other ones Amen
8442 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved it. Fast shipping, came in it's original case, and played without a problem.
At any rate, on a trip to Disney World I stood there and played Panzer Dragoon for I don't know how long (through the fourth level I think) while my family enjoyed all the other exhibits at Inoventions. I could have sat there all day, transfixed.
Huge lack of Mission Variety
Other than that, not a single complaint. This game freaking rocks! Tons of different monsters/foes, tons of cool weapons, level upon level of varying backgrounds. Too me back to the old days of all the Doom games.
9542 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Take everything wrong with Mega Man 1 and 2 on the NES and you get this. Your fired shots travel WAY TOO SLOW on the Game Boy, and these stages, especially the Fortress and Space Station at the end of the game, are NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE! Plus if you lose in either you have to start over, and that means if you die at the end of the Fortress, at the hands of a Robot Leader, you have to fight the whole way back to them, and any you beat must be beaten again.
Gameplay:
San Francisco Rush 2049
8776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, I mean no other fighting game matches this one in replay value, due to insane combos (of which there are many different variations), great "No Mercy" (finishing) moves and a great cast of characters. I was a fan from the moment I played it for the first time, and 10 years later it is still without a doubt my favorite game of all-time. Do not be mistaken though, I am not saying all of the other fighters out there are bad(Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat are also 5 star fighters), but when Killer Instinct hit the arcades there was nothing like it, at least in my opinion. The graphics were beautiful, the combos were amazing and it seemed like an all around original game.
2549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was a vivid gamer back in the day, and Mario was always one of my all time favorites. I have long since moved away from the video game scene, but now and then I play the classics on the PC. And when I played this version, I was amazed at how great it had been revived to the GBA. The graphics are the same, the gameplay is the same, the sound is the same, but there is new extras and bonus stuff, a pathway to choose, multi player ect.. I have to say this is the best Mario Bros. (1) game ever! Even better then Mario All Stars (snes) version!!!
The character himself is riddled with quirks, skills, gifts, and character points. Its a subdivision of the game itself, to deliver and develop a character of sufficient capabilites that best suit your gameplay. A master thief, quick shooter, charismatic merchant, an incredible hulk, kung fu fighter, intelligent geek, a porn star (believe it), a tactical sniper, a outdoor scout, a cocaine addicted "tony montana"... again the list goes on. How you play the game, shapes who you are, and the quirks that are made available to you. You even have a reputation to keep, whether it is legendary, feared or downright "wanted".
The levels in this game are brilliantly done by Nintendo. Fun platforming, cool enemies, and just above all else, amazing level design. Those of you that have played a Mario game know what I'm talking about. It's the heart and soul of every Mario game; the reason every Mario game is praised so highly. Every level is done very nicely. As usual with Nintendo, brilliant stuff here.
Anyway, I LOVE this game. I can take it out of the console for months at a time, but as soon as I hear anyone make a reference to it, I am immediately hooked again. As soon as you start playing, you will not want to stop. True, some of the bosses seem easy in comparison to other games, but the constant sense of making progress and finding new secrets keeps you interested from beginning to end.

Underwater Jet Ski Mobile: Ridden by Crash
9849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Extremely fun game. As a kid I was jealous of my friends that had the game when i first played it. I eventually got it for my birthday. Played it many times through. Only weakness is that there is no save option.
I loved this game when it first came out, and to this day it's one of my favorites. The wrestlers (most of them anyway) have a whole lot of moves, and they are not all the same for every wrestler. The inclusion of the "real" wrestlers' signature moves is very cool. One of the things I especially like about the game is the number of wrestlers on it. There are 62 of them --- that's a lot more than a lot of later wrestling games have. A few of them are locked at the start, but they're not really that hard to unlock --- at least not with the difficulty level on "easy." Several wrestlers who were later on the Legends games (Hogan, Macho Man, Sting, Bret Hart, Steiners, and others) are here. Some of the wrestlers are made-up, or at least I assume they are. The graphics are good. The wrestlers are blocky, but the "real" wrestlers' faces are very realistic. The play control is very good --- a lot better than the play control on World Tour. Some people may think the gameplay isn't "deep" enough, but it suits me just fine. The 40-man Battle Royal is really cool. There are several different arenas, which is kinda neat but (in my opinion) doesn't really do that much for the game. The sound effects and music are (in my opinion) not great but good enough. The wrestlers don't have individual entrance music, but oh well --- no biggie (again, my opinion). There is no commentary, but that's fine with me because I always turn off the commentary on games, anyway. One of my fave game features is the Costume Change mode. This mode lets you take wrestlers and put other wrestlers' outfits on them, and lets you edit the colors of the outfits. That's fun (I think so, anyway)! You can even change the wrestlers' names, but why would you ever really want to do that (unless maybe somebody [like Giant] has changed their name in real life)? There isn't much if anything about this game that I have any major complaints about. Sure, it's dated now, but I still find it as fun as I did back in 1998 (I think that's when it first came out). Just because something is old now, that doesn't mean it isn't still good!
1636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is amazing I mean I loved all the resident evil series except for 5 which in my book was a complete disaster. But RE 1 was my all time favorite
Oh, and that leads me to conclude that the coolest, neatest, greatest thing about the Playstation 1 console is that you can buy one for under 20 bucks. 20 bucks for HOURS of exciting gameplay? Count me in!
812 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Seriously. As awesome as the games before and after this game are, there is truly NO touching OOT. The story is amazing and well thought out, the game play is simple, the music is suburb, and all console Zelda games stem from this right here. SUCH as excellent game. There is no surprise many gaming magazines regard OOT as the greatest Zelda game or Video Game...of all time.
3631 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when I was younger. I bought it, so I could play it again. I miss these old PS1 games.
UT is a game you will return to again and again. Many of the levels I have played so much I know every nook and cranny! At the price being asked here you have no reason not to check out this masterpiece of gaming!
The N64 Console I got came with the Expansion Pak (which allows you to play later games released for the N64) and the cables but no controller but you can easily purchase a retro knock-off version for only 15 extra bucks on amazon, also. I was really dreading the possibility that my new N64 would not be compatible with my Emerson HDTV, but the cables it came with included the usual AV cables that most Nintendo systems use (i.e. Gamecube and Wii). I hooked it up to my HDTV, flipped the switch, and she works like a charm.
This game is a fun game worth playing; it just fails at being a truly entertaining experience. If you own a Dreamcast, I suggest you buy this game. If you don't own a Dreamcast, forget you even read this review and go buy something awesome.
6005 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I read some of the reviews and most people said this game was okay, but not as good as the original. Boy, were they wrong. This game far surpasses the original Diablo to me. The levels are designed better and the quests are more interesting to follow. The cinematic movies are to die for. The graphics are improved a little from the original(For instance you can see the items you are wearing). The only complaint is that there are a few bugs in the game such as graphic slow downs, and I had to go to bizzard.com to download a patch just to get the game to run on my computer. Other than these few gripes, I am addicted to this game. Until I got Diablo II I had no idea how fun RPGs are. Thanks Blizzard for another great game.

And finally, as an extra special bonus there is a hidden level on the Mysteries of the Sith CD of Cloud City that allows you to follow in Luke's footsteps from Empire strikes Back.
Red and Blue began almost everything you currently see in the series today. The game begins with you naming your character (you couldn't choose between a boy or a girl in this one) and then your rival. Again, if you had Pokemon fever you probably named your main character Ash and your rival was named Gary (even the strategy guides referred to them as such). It began with Professor Oak letting you have a Pokemon of your choice (between 3 starters) and then ultimately he'd send you on a journey with a Pokedex and have you document the Pokemon you'd find. Along the way, you'd have to deal with Team Rocket, the bad guys who are always causing trouble and stealing everyone's Pokemon, as well as gather eight badges so you could challenge the Elite Four and become a Pokemon League Champion. The entire formula began here, and just about everything mentioned above has been done in each and every main series Pokemon game hereafter.
4948 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game! Like Kirby, it's side scolling. Do yourself a favor and buy this.
I hope we'll get a better, more extensive version soon.
-This is a love story
PROS:
The story, I didn't know that games could have stories half as well made as this story was back when I first began playing it. Let alone this well done. The story is a timeless masterpiece that can still take on the best of them and walk away with pride and victory in it's bruised hands. There's almost nothing about the story that makes me say "Wha?" (in the sense of spotting a plot hole)
The bosses are varied and well designed, with similarly varied attack patterns you have to master to survive.
The plot comprises of a supernatural mystery. The story is great and the characters are amiable. Each character is well drawn as a subplot that contributes well to the main plot. The identity of Mr. Baza is quite a surprise by the end. The subplot between Gabriel and Grace is open ended. Mystery freaks wouldn't mind replaying the game over and over again along with those who would like to get the total score of 965.
This is fantastic! You have to love it. In my opinion, the 2 player mode is the best (we were playing in teams of 3).
Needless to say, I quickly changed from Easy to Hard mode after the first 10 minutes of playing. I usually don't like playing Hard mode on any game. But it didn't leave me much of a choice, and being a RE veteran I figured I could handle it. In other words, Easy mode was obviously designed for newbies and people that absolutely SUCK.
Perhaps the best aspect of the game is the alternate scenario options introduced for the first time. What this means is that if you started and beat the game as Leon, you then play through the same story through Claire's perspective, and vice versa. The alternate scenario takes place in most of the same areas as the first time, but this time you have to contend with the menacing 7-foot, trenchcoat wearing Neo Tyrant. The idea is that he's constantly stalking you and could appear at any time (this idea was perfected with the Nemesis in RE3). The scenario features might make the game feel shorter than the original, but technically you'd be beating the game 4 times to see all the different endings. There's also a few cool mini games and sidequests to unlock, so you've got plenty of replayability here.
Anywayz terrible graphics = boring game. Enough said
I did not have a psx, though. However, my best friend did. A week after he bought it, he invited me over, and he showed me the game. I was hooked by the time Cloud and Barrett rushed off the train.
1) Tools power-up with the amount of times they are used, as apposed to completing a certain event in the game that gives you a stronger tool.
* Add all sorts of scenery
Excellent game in every way, and hopefully when I buy it again I'll be able to appreciate all the time and energy that went into making it. You can count on wasting many hours playing through this exciting adventure.
Engaging storyline
To save, you must reach Candy's Save Point. Personally, I wish they added a save anytime kind of feature. But that is a minor complaint.
6453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not exactly unbiased, here; I absolutely loved Age of Empires. The moment I got word that AoE2 was in the works, I knew I would buy it. AoE had so many great aspects; real-world history, great graphics, intelligent interface and build systems and excelent and varied resource gathering. Everything you want in an RTS. Their best achievement, though, was the random map feature... endless replayability.
All-in-all, I would have to say that the graphics are superb, stories are bad, sound is so-so, and gameplay is dependant on which side you choose(NOD being better).

One of the downers was that you can't hardly change your angle.
However, this game is still awesome, and classic.
What a rip off! If you want to play the same classic game with the same graphics, but with more working control buttons and a pause button, get it for Super NES.
My system came in tact with one controller but all of the other essential parts needed. It connected easily to my modern HDTV and looks great. No problems after about of month of using it at least three times per week and still going strong.
3066 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was truely ground breaking for its time. I can't think of a single RPG for a game console that had so much depth with character development, story and optional side quests as this. The graphics and sound were phenominal in their day. Any RPG or FF fan should give this game a shot!
Now with the SNES version of the game, I was taken aback at how there's a lack of a sword for Aladdin to use. Instead his attacks are purely acrobatic consisting of hand-plants on enemy's heads and the ability to kick enemies while swinging from a post or something similar. The platform action of the game is purely acrobatic as well. You'll be jumping a lot, swinging from poles, jumping off of sheets using them as trampolines to gain extra height, and having to cross large pits using hand-plants on balloons and flying pots. I'm not saying that it isn't fun to do or that the game isn't fun to play. I was just really expecting to use a sword and get into sword fights instead of pouncing on enemy heads the whole way though.
3835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you loved Half-Life, this is a must buy. I am not a big FPshooter fan but SS2 (like Half-life) combines a great story with an incredibly immersive atomsphere. If you have yet to play Quake and its clones do not bother buying them, start with this one. Not for the those wary of the macabre.
9351 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is arguably the best game offered on the original black and white Gameboy (no offense to Metroid II).
3777 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great game... Sonic Adventure has a great look to it; snow, forest, city and other scenery. The animation and gameplay make everything move so smooth. Even if you finish with all 6 characters... there are challenges (e.g. time limit, rings, beat Robotnik... ) to finish. Absolutely grand.
there are various characters who you can recruit into your army. Many of these
Variety is no contest. UT has not only deathmatch, but assault, CTF, Domination, Last man standing, and a whole slew of new weapons. Quake has deathmatch and relativly old and barely revamped weapons.

6590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Anthology features Final Fantasy (FF) V and VI. These games were originally for the Super Nintendo, however they were adapted for Playstation 1.
For me it took me two times playing through to fully understand and enjoy it, but it was worth it in the end. However towards the middle of the game it becomes rather easy as your options for level up and magic are virtually unlimited.
WOLVERINE.
The graphics were a major step above the first one and were actually stunning visuals for the GB. They look ALMOST like a snazzy early SNES game.
The only flaws I seen with the game were the fact that there is no multiplayer mode, as in other games. The thing that made it a success to begin with was it's death matches. The second thing was that it's like the older games(Doom, Doom II & Final Doom) and that we've played Doom like this before(which is why I mentioned that it would have been much better had we been able to move about like we did in Quake).
Items are hidden throughout the mansion that detail just how the monstrous zombie outbreak started, and to a lesser extent details the lives of the individuals who lived there during the initial stages of the outbreak. There are pictures of their families and friends, their clothes tucked into their closets, and, on occasion, the zombified individual himself, trapped and desolate in a bathtub or a wing of his home.
The CONS: Nothing. It's a perfectly balanced game.
For those of you who no nothing about Gex, this is his 2'nd game in a series of 3. He's a smooth-talking, disquise-wearing wise-cracking lizard who is always asked by the CIA to do dangerous missions, and stop Rez, an evil robot.
At a graphics standpoint, Super Mario 64 is absolutely outstanding in every way, shape, and form. Kudos to Nintendo. 5 out of 5 for graphics.
Amazing game.

4571 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I have most of the major flight sims and now I have this and have only worked with it a bit but I find it a little too overcomplicated, it's taxing even for someone who is a flight simmer and is already flight tested and combat tested.
Go ahead and get it. Yes, it's a classic.

However, when each of the mini levels are complete, a save option will appear on screen. The loading time here will jump up to about 5 seconds total. Again, not a big deal. Not a long wait at all. I can't believe I have to mention these extremely short loading times, but people seem obsessed over making a big deal over them, and the truth about it needs to be said. These are reasonable and understandable loading times when you consider just how GOOD everything about the Playstation version of Quake II is.
1382 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have a 5 and 6 year old whom which are addicted to this game. The game is genius in the way it makes the use of logic mandatory but not so difficult to cause frustration. Save money buy buying a N64 system and this game in comparison to a PS3 or a XBOX.
The amazing 3d graphics are the only thing really good about this game, as its the only thing that really keeps it from getting one star. But still graphics don't make up for a game with such a linear monotonous flow.
Not only is it the best GB game, it is one of the best overall games ever.

I have had many games, and wish I still had the original copies bought for me when I was young. But then the PS2 came out and I traded a lot of those games for Sony garbage. Some of the classic games I've owned or currently own were/are
* Litter and vandalism must be kept away by hiring staff and building litter bins.
693 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the greatest games of all time. Much has been said and will continue to be said
Graphics: For a game that came out in the late 1990s, DK2 looks pretty good. Models are detailed enough to be credible representations of various monsters, and animations are pretty decent. Some models such as the enemy hero lords are used too often, but otherwise the visuals are good enough to allow the game to immerse you.
9094 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I think this is the best game in the series (that I actually played, which excludes Revenge and StreetWise). The problem here isn't that there's not very much new to the table (contrary to what I said in an earlier review), but that there's barely anything to bring you back when you've played the hell out of the others. Had this been the first game, I would've given it five stars easy. I like that dashing has been added, I like that you can keep your character facing in one direction while holding L or R (or some other button if you change the control set-up in options) as you move toward and away from your enemies, I like having the option of a computer-controlled partner (though that can slow the game speed down sometimes) when I don't have another person to play the game with, I like that I don't HAVE to have a CPU partner or second player when I don't want to, I don't like that my grammar in this review is a bit inconsistent, I like a lot of the game's music, I like having super combo moves that can be executed when a special bar is filled (you can still do standard powerful moves that deplete your energy), I like the addition of moves that can be performed Street-Fighter-style, I like the fact that Guy is back (despite being a jerk and not doing anything while his fiance and future stepfather were kidnapped in Final Fight 2), and I love being able to beat the crap out of my enemies while dashing into them. The ability to do combo attacks when using certain weapons depending on the character is also worth mentioning. Seems like a lot, doesn't it? Well yeah, but that doesn't keep it from getting tiresome after a few minutes, which brings it back to being average.
The level's can be very very hot or very cold places or the level's can have water so you have to swim. Or some of the level's can be nice or normal.
4099 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Roller Coaster Tycoon's VERRRY addictive, whether it is played by a kid or by an adult. It's fun, it has cool graphics, easy goals, etc. I spent playing it once for 7 hours that I couldn't even hear my mother telling me to quit playing and eat my dinner. When I went to a friend's house, I brought this game and introduced it to my friends. They were all engrossed and couldn't concentrate on what we should have done and instead, played this game for hours. My biggest mistake was lending the CD to one of my friends and returned it to me a couple of months later.
Play Control: 10/10
Neither of these games are quickie things that could be finished in one evening. They both promise long gameplay and good replayability. As an added bonus the novel gives you an insight on the characters that the games can't. I highly reccomend purchasing this package, especually if you're a diehard adventure gamer.
Graphics ...mmm well it is a pretty old game I still give it a 5/5..
defeat the final boss somewhat easily.
Yes, the graphics aren't super high def and up to current standards. That is quite all right by me. The gameplay itself is well done, and really after a few minutes I don't even notice what the details of the various structures look like. I am too busy racing around the screen planning my defenses. As long as the on screen icons are easy to identify and work with, that's all that matters to me.
The first thing to note is the graphics. The textures aren't really that detailed, but that doesn't stop them from preforming. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Playing the game makes me want to visit Rennes le Chateau for real.
2173 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you don't have a Dreamcast and you love Capcom's Vs. games, Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter for Playstation is a decent alternative. There are some notable flaws, as the Playstation hardware is just not made to run these type of games. For instance, the biggest let down is the abscence of tag-teaming (the Playstation does not have enough RAM to store more than 2 characters within one loading session). Then there's the animation...there are definetly more than a few frames missing, but once you get used to it it's OK. However, there a few gameplay extras Capcom included to keep players interested: a "helper" character for each match, a healing vitality gauge, and a combo system that allows you to chain hyper combos together. Best of all though, the gameplay stays relatively fast with minimal slowdown (with the exception of extreme activity). This is another very noticeable improvement over the Playstation ports of Marvel Super Heroes and X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. If nothing else, Capcom is to be commended for putting up with the Playstation's limitations to squeeze out the best possible port of this game.
As for gameplay, it is fantastic and addicting. While the levels are challenging and tough at times, they are not overly frustrating or extremely hard. Some levels and missions are easy, and others will take a few times to get through. It will be a bit of a challenge if you play this for the first time, but you won't become overwhelmed as in similar games. As you play it a second and third time,though, you will become familiar with the layout of the levels and more or less breeze through. As an example, I was able to shoot down the chopper on the base tower after 5 tries, as opposed to 30 attempts during my first run through the game over a year ago. You will also attain some "tricks" along the way as well, such as becoming more effective at headshots and so on. I have found that it's the "little" things that get you through this game.
Abilities: Sonic has his spindash on a seperate button as well as introducing the light speed dash. Tails can fly and with upgrades can do an awesome tail spin attack. Knuckles has a triple punch combo glide and with upgrades he can dig underground. Amy has her hammer attack a double jump with upgrades an make her hammer bigger and a hammer spin attack. Gamma has the ability to shoot obstacles for extra time with upgrades he can shoot more targets and fly. Big has nothing special but fishing even with upgrades he can float on water.
9597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...This game is fantastic. The story blends perfectly with the battles, and many times takes place in battles. I most of all really like the level-up system, it's very complex and uses the Job System. This is no doubt a very intellectual game. The job system allows for hours and hours of battling and leveling up until you reach your max statistics, and even then there is still work allowed to be done. The storyline is very, very deep. Another aspect is the Music, which is amazing! it adds to the atmosphericness of the game, and is very well written. I recommend this to anyone with a whole lot of patience...and a brain. If you are restless...this isn't for you. This game would probably appeal to the more mature croud of gamers...hence the long battles and complex/intertwining storyline.
It's not Gran Turismo on water; it's just a fun way to kill a half hour or so racing around.

2nd Level: School - SIMPLE, if you can't get all five tapes then there's something wrong with you.
6639 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a common refrain for players of this insanely addictive game. If you've played it then no doubt you've had your own experience of a time warp. Start with a humble little band of settlers and after hours of pushing back the darkness of your unexplored surroundings don't be surprised to find yourself totally engossed; perhaps in a massive civilizational war with one of the opposing tribes or involved in a desperate effort to hold things together in the face of unhappy citizens, polluted cities, scattered settlements and scare benefits. Researching, exploring, building, and conquering are your main activities. Time, decisions, choices are your main challenges. Tactically you are faced with deciding on location and number of cities. What tradeoffs are you going to make between city improvements and military forces? On the bigger strategic scale decide between war and peace and expansion or consolidation.
Now, I will tell you my favorite aspect of this game, my reason for giving it a five star rating without any hesitation. The reason is that it satisfies my male cravings to kill and win. Nemesis follows you around so much that instead of getting annoyed, you get .... He constantly lowers your overall ammo amount and forces you to use up healing items. As you fight him, you lust nothing more than to give Nemesis as much pain as you can give to him; you want him to die a horrible death. In all the times you fight him, he passes out when you win, and that's the end. Then, the second to last time you fight him, you can use acid faucets to melt parts of him away. You can take off his arms, and even his head. And the last time you fight him, you set up the puzzle, and while you wait, you can unleash whatever firepower you want on him; there's no passing out and allowing your escape, the last battle is a battle of REVENGE! I loved that, and I think any player who likes thrilling and fun games would love this game too.

The series is most known for its interesting and outlandish boss fights. Every fight in the game is handled in a different way. Some require a straight forward approach, while others need to be handled long distance, while others still need you to interact outside of the game. The boss designs are fun and different. No two characters are a like. They all have very distinct backgrounds and attributes.

All in all, with great musical gameplay cues and a cartoon-like sense of imagination and personality, UmJammer Lammy is absolutely worth picking up, especially considering that the original Playstation version of Parappa the Rapper costs way more for a used copy.
Difficulty 10/10 this game will probably take up 30 hours or more to beat, it is incredebly hard, cause the AI is too smart.
The boss battles are very epic and every one of them has a strategy to defeat and its always best to use your radio to contact your support crew for tips on how to defeat them. The radio is also used to provide info about the games back story and even the controls.
The plot is simple, Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach and Mario must save her. But the plot's not important in a video game. The game play is what matters.
Not only is this game boring, the graphics aren't too great either (even for PS one... my other games look better than this).
The gameplay, too, is superb, with an easy menu system and full in-game tutorials being accessible at pretty much any point in the game. The difficulty level is pitched exactly right, there's a steady learning curve and monsters and battles become significantly harder as you progress, but not so hard as to be prohibitive. Puzzles and secrets abound, and each time you play (and you WILL play it multiple times) you discover several new features that you didn't see before. With typical Square finnesse, the game options are customisable so battles and cut-scenes don;t have to take up too much time, and the whole game moves at a speed which you, the player, dictate.
Gameplay : 9/10
Two things to consider before making your purchase:
Finally, the gripes. Although I have not played 1, RE3 is the shortest of the series I have played. It is also much less epic than 2 or Veronica. If it is lengh and amazing story you are looking for, go for RE code Veronica. But is you want to be gripping the armchair seat and shivering from overdose excitement...This is the game for you.
The sound makes this game. Without it, the game would be reduced significantly. With that said, use headphones and play it in the dark. Your heart will race and you will jump when guards see you or you come across something you where not perpared for.
6440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Microsoft actually out-did themselves with this sequel to one of the greatest strategy CD Rom games ever. This is bascially the same game as the original, only it's set in the Dark Ages. It is also a bit faster paced than the first one. AE II also offers a multitude of extra features not included in its predecessor, as well as a graphics package which leaves the old version in the dust. The buildings on AE II are much more life-size and intricate in detail. They are also more varied than the first & include Cathedrals and Castles.

3723 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect
Gameplay in Kirby's Dream Land 2 is easy to get the hang of. A is jump, B is inhale/spit, and pressing up while jumping lets Kirby float around. He can also shoot out puffs of air while flying to defeat weaker enemies. Throughout the levels, there are different kinds of enemies, and a lot of them have unique powers that Kirby can absorb. Press B to suck in the enemy, then press down on the d-pad and he'll take their power if they have one. Kirby can gain abilities like having an umbrella to help him float and defend from air attacks, a fireball that lets him dash through enemies and objects, needles that let him essentially turn into a porcupine, a boomerang and several others. But the star of the game is the ability to get an animal friend to help you out. Rick the hamster, Coo the owl and Kine the fish are all here to help Kirby, with each one having their own obvious benefits. Rick is great on land and can't slip on ice, Coo flies and is so good that the game is super easy if you keep him around at all times, and Kine makes swimming easier but is very slow on land. And as I mentioned earlier, they all have their own takes on Kirby's powers. Where Kirby would just have one boomerang that goes in front of him, Coo shoots three feathers in a spread shot that is VERY useful for taking out multiple enemies and obstacles. Kine's version of lightning lets him charge a lightbulb in his mouth, then shoot it forward when B is released, and you can detonate it by pressing B again, making a kind of explosive shield. It's a blast seeing all the powers for the animals, and I still get a kick out of seeing Rick's rock power where he turns into a boulder and Kirby rolls it with his feet.
658 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. I had to add it to my collection again.
6622 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've only bought two budget games (those cheesy ones that sell for less then twenty dollars) in my life. One was a mind-numbingly awful shark hunter game, and the other was Carnivores. To my suprise (Which is still intact today), Carnivores is a suprisingly good budget shooter, well worth its bargin bin price.
7827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diddy Kong Racing will forever be looked at as a kiddy title, and in some ways Rareware did go overboard on this one. The character designs are very sugary sweet, accompanied by high-pitched voices that you want to slap in the face (Pipsy, I'm looking at you). Bright, cheerful colors, bright cheerful soundtrack. Yeah, kids love this stuff.
3916 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to play the Board version at my wifes parent's house when I first dated her 10 years ago. When we went shopping for a few games for our new computer 2 years ago, found this, along with some of our other favorites.
and using a joystick. However, it took both practice and patience to setup the joystick.
I had a giggle at the funny diseases, and the cool machines they invented for the game to cure things. You'll have a laugh playing this, it's pure entertainment. You have to think while you're playing it, like where to put that doctors office or those toilets, or that Coca-Cola machine?
The game itself?
7912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Do you like prizes? Do you like jumping? Lastly, do you like going threw things? Wll then get it from santa or the stor, it is called Super Moreo 3D World. Made by Wii.
A word about multiplayer: It's operational, but the update routines on a turn-by-turn basis run extremely slow over TCP/IP with the version of the game that comes out of the box. As a result, multiplayer games become unplayable after about an hour just due to the game-induced lag.
Gameplay, while easy to learn can be tiring and out dated.
There are cool weapons and gadgets in this game. The beams you can get for your energy gun are the Charge Beam (you automatically start off with the Long Beam on your energy gun throughout the whole entire game, meaning it is no longer a separate beam to acquire, the Ice Beam is back as well as the Plasma Beam and Wave Beam. One new Beam that is added to the series is the Spazer Beam which is a three-way more powerful version of your regular gun, you're better off using the Plasma Beam along with the Wave Beam and Charge Beam. Other Items added in are Power Bombs, the Grappling Hook, X-Ray Visors to look for hidden items or passage ways (too bad the Spider Ball is not in this game)and Super Missiles and regular missiles. There are also different suits in this game too. You have your regular Yellow-Orange suit you start off with, the Varia Suit makes a come back, and a new purple-pinkish suit has been added called the Gravity Suit which allows you to move underwater with ease as well as more protection from enemies hits than the Varia Suit. Oh I almost forgot, you can also duck in this game before rolling into a ball. You can get the bombs that make you go into the air while in a ball. The bomb jump is easier to perform than in the original game where it is almost impossible to do. Another added power-up you can get is the Speed Dash ability. You can use it to break away through certain walls and obstacles. You can also use the Speed Dash in the air to get to certain places you would normally not be able to. Unlike in the future games where you can get also use the Speed Dash, it takes away your health if you do it in the air in this game. When you get health in this game, it gives it to you at the right time when you actually need it and not just randomly. If you own a Super Nintendo, an emulator, or a Wii, I recommend getting this game, along with Super Mario All Stars and Super Mario World or the regular Super Mario All Stars, Mega Man X - X3, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, the Donkey Kong Country series, Zombies ate My Neighbor, Super Mario Kart, Kirby Super Star, Mario RPG, etc. (whatever you are interested in).
But, who remembers stuff like that?
The tutorial is WAYYYY too thin. In the USAF game, you AT LEAST had a co-pilot helping you out during the training mission. Here you are left on your own. Hmmm... Better be a quick learner
8529 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I hope that I am not the last person to put in my two cents on this game, even though I do realize how long it's been out (eight or nine years, I believe).
So that's why they didn't develop it for the Super Famicom.
I never tire of it.
4725 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So I get this game free with purchase of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (which is also a pretty good game). People say Lords of Shadow is a great game, but it is NOT a Castlevania game. So to figure out what Castlevania games are all about I give Castlevania: Symphony of the Night a try. AND WOW JUST WOW. This game is simply incredible. After finishing this game (both actual and secret endings) here is what I thoght.
7896 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game brings back a lot of memories for me. How I got it was actually an accident; I wanted my mother to buy me a Nintendo 64 game, but I didn't have a Nintendo 64, and she thought I meant that I wanted it for my Super Nintendo, and ended up buying me this instead. It was one of the best accidents ever! The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has an engaging storyline that wraps you up instantly! It's easy to learn, as you get somewhat of a tutorial at the start, and becomes fun to play! You basically beat monsters for more heart containers (which increases your health) and in order to rescue princess Zelda. Along the way, you get neatest tools: a hammer for smashing things, flippers for swimming, and even a mirror for traveling between two versions of the same world! Cool puzzles between fights, even the boss temple puzzles, keep the game from being tedious and boring. You'll also come across fairies that will upgrade your stuff and heal you. This game is basically amazing. If you don't already have it in your collection GET IT.
Inventory system is simple and functional. Your bottom right shoulder button (R2) controls weapon inventory where you will rotate to the item you want and then release the button to equip it. A quick press will unequip or quickly equip the item once pressed again.
Also, the questions in the pre-$1000 range are unusually difficult, compared with the show. There, they're ridiculously easy, complete with flatly idiotic possible answers. Here, by contrast, the early questions are much more serious. They're still comparatively easy, but they're not the gimmes they are on the real show.
Sure, the game has a few downsides....one being that your guy walks around like a lumbering beast. Slow as hell. And then the other is that there were a few times I died cheap....like thinking I would be able to swim, jumping into the water, and immediately drowning, because obviously elves didn't get the poolside lessons....lol. Oh well, though, it was actually good for a laugh. Just save your game often, and get this game now!!!
Just sayin'
Honestly, everything about the game should not work. It does alot wrong, but it does MORE right. Yes, it all meshes together into a really good game. Yes, in a few years it will be a painful to play as, say, Pitfall for the Atari, but even when it is thriteen years old it is still F-U-N to play.

Story/Plot: the Story begins with a letter from Princess Peach inviting Mario to come to her castle for a cake she has baked for him. However, when he arrives, Mario discovers that Bowser has invaded the castle and imprisoned the princess and her servants within it using the power of the castle's 120 Power Stars. Many of the castle's paintings are portals to other worlds, in which Bowser's minions keep watch over the stars. Mario explores the castle for these portals to enter the worlds and recover the stars. He gains access to more rooms as he recovers more Power Stars, and eventually traverses three different obstacle courses, each leading to its own battle with Bowser. Defeating Bowser the first two times earns Mario a key for opening another level of the castle. After Mario defeats Bowser in the final battle, Peach is released from the stained-glass window above the castle's entrance. Peach rewards Mario by kissing him on the nose and baking the cake that she had promised him.
While this game is simplistic, especially when compared to more contemporary games and their more complex gameplay, the original roots of car mayhem in gaming is apparent and unrivaled when it comes to Twisted Metal 2. The sounds and sights and even cheats for this game make it an awesome adventure easily conquered at neck break speed or enjoyed as a comical cruise. sit back relax and enjoy this classic no nonsense destruction derby straight out the 90s!
Beavis and Butthead start off without items or weapons. Beavis will belch a noxious green gas to attack enemies while Butthead relies on a slower fart move. Right off the bat, Beavis is the preferrable character. You pick up items and try to figure out the use of each item as you explore Highland Hig School, The Mall, Burger World, The Drive-In, The Hospital, The Street, and ultimately The Gwar Concert. You choose which area you want to visit, and each area can be visited multiple times. The whole point is to pick up items and figure out where and how to use them, ultimately to find the ticket pieces. This is quite a fun inventory game that almost reminds me of the old Sierra-Nevada games, like Space Quest or King's Quest. For example: at Burgerworld, find a dead rat by the dumpster, go inside to where the deep fat fryer is, drop the french fries and the dead rat in the fryer to make a disgusting dead-rat fries meal, and then serve it to the angry customer. He will pay you, and then eat the fries, dead rat and all, and then puke. In his puke is a ticket piece.
3684 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am not an expert of arcade games or RPG's, or anything other than Mario or Tomb Raider games, but this game is so fun. I never played the arcade version(I didn't know one even existed at all, I haven't been inside an arcade in ages), so I am clueless there. But what I do know is that this game is a standout on N64. Connect four controllers and have a blast. The graphics are great(in my opinion of course), and the game is challenging and requires teamwork. There are 4 players to pick at first(four variations of those), then four more characters can be discovered. The new characters are pretty neat and add more replay value. Anyway I think that you should buy this game if you know what is good for...or if you are cheap then rent it.
5578 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My favorite of the series!
the game was easy to beat when i was 6 and its still as easy.
3367 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While some reviews hail this as a Resident Evil with Dinosaurs it's much more than that. The characters were great,and the story line is awesome. The only complaints I had for this game were the camera angles, some were very infuriating! The game play is solid, and this game is an instant classic. I would recommend picking this game up at the cheap price it is being sold for before it's too late! Fast shipper as well, and prompt service!
It's a peculiar mix, but open-minded gamers will love this title...
Gameplay 5/5
One of my biggest gripes with the original Donkey Kong Country was that you had to find bonus areas to get to 101%. While this was well and good, I saw little point to actually finding them in the first place. Donkey Kong Country 2 changes all that. Every level can have anywhere from one to three bonus areas that contain Kremkoins. There are three different types. The first type task you with simply finding the Kremkoin. The second type asks you to collect all the stars before it appears as a reward. The last type tasks you with defeating all the enemies in the room before it appears. Getting the Kremkoins is important to discovering everything Donkey Kong Country 2 has to offer. As you progress you'll be able to spend your Kremkoins to enter the Lost World. There are five Lost World stages and they are the biggest challenge the game has to offer.
Yes, Pokemon shows its age among modern video games. But so does Pong. And Pong is still mildly amusing. But without Pong, there'd be no Pokemom. And without Pokemon, there'd be no modern video gamage. And without video games, I'd have to actually face my family, friends and problems, and learn actual skills! So play Pokemon! It's better than Pong, and many other video games. Trust me. I've been there.

If you're a TR fan and haven't played this, I'd advise that you do.
6612 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Anthology is a great buy,ilike it cause it's got one of my favorite games ever, FF6! Truly a sweet game but lacking a little creativity when it came to some of the characters, it is a game worth buying. Now FF5, well thats a toughie i think its a decent game but my friends seem to think other wise cause of the pretty sad character design and graphicalization. The music cd is really not worth square's money, i mean.... come on, music that sounds like beep...beep...beep....beeep? yeah,you get my point......
2022 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 not original but Works great
The biggest problems with the game (besides the goofy voices) is that the gun calibration seems to be a little off and the game can become almost too hard to be fun is some areas.
All in all, an excellent choice if you consider yourself old-school fighting gamer and have the patience to learn. For those who prefer quick, painless, flashy, and shallow, look elsewhere.
In the web page that pops up into view; enter: "Final Fantasy VII" into the search box on that page and hit the enter key on your keyboard. A page with three options will comeup. The top one is about the worm in the FF VII installation cds. The next one is about the XP 1.5 version upgrade, and that has an additional worm in it. The final option refers to a worm that infects FF XI & FF XII. That worm is even more dangerous than even the one on the FF VII installation cds. Thast one will automatically go to the computer's email section and send ZIP versions of itself to every contact listed there. Also all three worms will every time the computer is turned on check for a specific website to get upgraded versions of itself.

2837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was bored one day, and was watching my mother-in-law play Ape Escape 2. Looked like it was fun, and less stressful than some of my other games that I like tend to be, and borrowed her copy of the first Ape Escape.
The gameplay and controls are really nice, however the jumping and spin hover physics can get a little wonky sometimes.
8479 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's Mario Kart challenge. Not as easy some of the later versions from a control aspect. But overall, not a bad game though.

Second, other than the controls and learning time needed, F/A-18 is a wonderful looking game. I have a mere Celeron 400 with a ATI Rage card, and the game still played at a fine speed with minimal slowdown once I toned down the level of detail. For that matter, the game still looked wonderful, the explosions were great, fire and sunlight reflecting inside of my cockpit.
Even with friends, you'll tire of it in a day.
1590 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game is very boring there are around 30 wrestlers but only ten of them are real wrestlers you can only punce kick and do the signiture move its not worth it at all
Nostalgia aside, this is a solid game. There are plenty of levels of different kinds and there are even secret levels. The graphics are nice and colorful and the music fun to listen to as well. While the game is difficult at times (particularly during the later levels and especially many of the secret ones), it's still very fun to play and the controls make it manageable. Even after more than 2 decades, Super Mario World is one of the best games ever.
Jigglypuff
Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone that has a SNES, Wii or a Wii U, as you can also purchase this title on Nintendo's virtual console as I had for the Wii.
*90s gripe* Where is the classic Zelda overworld theme? Oh, we can hear it for like five seconds in the Hyrule Field theme? ARE YOU SERIOUS? But seriously, the music is pretty good. The Hyrule Field theme which I just mentioned is a good theme. The music does a good job of fitting the areas which you visit, for the most part.
Story: 10/10
1215 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I would say this is one of the the best ps1 games ever. I play it on my ps3.
9100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Samurai Shodown released by Takara for the SNES is awesome considering the era in which it was created. It is a bushido style fighting game mixed with special moves for the characters like the Street Fighter series. Best two out of three matches wins a duel. Each character is unique and there are many different kenpo weapons on display in this game from small razor-sharp sabers to massive scimitars. It is also possible to play as the end boss, Amakusa, in the Countdown and 2P versus modes**code needed**. My favorite character of the main selection is Tam-Tam, a Mayan warrior with a large, curved sword. Galford and Nakoruru have animal friends that assist them in battle, which is a cool feature. Galford has a dog/wolf and Nakoruru has a cormorant/falcon. Each character has a different reason for why they are seeking the energy orb that Amakusa possesses...some for good, others for evil. One more special feature is that the computer is a learning computer, even on this version, meaning that if a player continues to use the same attack pattern, the CPU will learn how to counter it, even on easy mode. Mixing-up attacks and defensive stances will give greater yields of success. BOTTOM LINE: This game is fun and is worth playing. I highly recommend purchasing Samurai Shodown.
1066 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 People say GoldenEye was a much multiplayer than this game, but I've spent more happy hours racing my friends in Mario Kart 64 than blowing people up with proximity mines in the Complex in GoldenEye.

4217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Truly a great adventure game. Now I was an "old-school" fan of adventure games back when developers cared about that genre. now adventure gaming is a dying breed, with only about one or two new adventure games coming out a year and most of those slipping through the cracks where only devoted fans hear about them. True fans are forced to the classics. Now this game in my mind is one of the true great adventure games along with the monkey island series, space quest series, and heros quest series. The game itself may confuse some non-adventure gamers, who don't understand the point of adventure games, but it will leave a great taste in your mouth when you finish it. Regardless if you played the past two Gabriel Knight games you can pick up the plot pretty easily and it draws you in and never lets go. Sneaking around churches and cellars hearing screams and seeing claw marks help set the mood of terror and suspense throught the whole game. This game is similar to one of the movies where the movie dosen't become great until the end when it all wraps up. A must buy for adventure fans, and for those gamers sick of shooting the same space aliens!
The Bad:
Overall, I give this game the highest possible score you can give, and that would be 5 stars. It truly deserves it. The fact that you have to face about TWICE as many zombies this time around, and the fact that you are basically outside roaming the streets the entire time are major, major highlights for the game. These streets are deadly. Pick up this game today, and have fun.
If you have an original GameBoy or a GameBoy Advance SP lying around it's practically a crime not to have this game around for a quick run-through every now and then. Again, I'll admit I'm usually not the biggest fan of first party games despite the quality they're known for but Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins is a good reminder of why we - make that I - should pay more attention to the list usual suspects.

7121 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Such a classic from the PSONE days. It's just a rhythm game with some catchy tunes that I'm sure you will get addicted to in a second. If you haven't played this then you need to because its very fun. It's actually kind of expensive now to get it but you should probably go with the PS3's digital download of this unless your a fan or a collector. Got it as a gift for my girlfriend and she loves it and ended up getting the second one for the PS2 also.
9579 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game exclusively for almost 4 months on the original Playstation. It is arguably my favorite game ever on the Playstation. The different options for your characters was nearly endless.
Being a title developed by a third party (yes, Hudson is a 3rd party developer), the graphics in Mario Party are not exactly polished. Most of the textures are just simple polygons. And as was stated, the water is in the Bombs Away game is extremely pixelated. These graphics are not the ones that are so grand that you can't help but go "Uah," but why bother with visual aesthetics when the game is already filled with gameplay finesse. At least the graphics don't hurt your eyes. I can't say that about a game that game out 3-4 months after Mario Party...I'm sure you all know what it is. Sound. Sound effects are amusing, but not exactly something special. Voice acting is good, but I finally found out (after five years) that much of the voice samples were lifted directly from the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64. The music? It is fantastic! There's a hint of Super Mario Bros. mixed in with the rest. It's great to listen to, even if it is all just MIDIs. Okay, a lot of this is probably due to nostalgia. I can write a paper on nostalgia and Mario Party, but I'll leave it at this. The bottom line is, even though Mario Party isn't one of the technologically advanced games on the N64, it sure makes up for it with its incredible gameplay.
7759 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game has great graphics, an excellent 16-bit redo of the original soundtrack, and an overall awesome game. But after the famous title sequence ended and the game started, I was left in frustration. Level one put me against thousands of dinosaurs, scorpions, and worms. After 30 unsuccessful minutes, I used the flawed Game Genie ram editor to give myself invincibility, and level 1 became a snap. Level two started. I was put in mode 7 with a land speeder, not good considering the age of the game. The clunky land speeder vehicle could hardly aim at the Jawas, and once I shot all 10 of them I zoomed towards the sand crawler. Level 3 begins. It was an awful platformer with enemies that knock you back to the ground. Luke can't even jump high enough to reach half the platforms. Even with the Genie granting my wishes, it was still an impossible mess!!!
Puzzles are harder here. Many times you have to reenter levels to solve them. It'll take patience. But it's all Egypt and really interesting. On the other hand you can save anywhere and there's far more items you can find in LR compared to the previous three. You really have to be doing something wrong to run out of items.
4879 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What more can be said? It improved on the first game in every way. Revisiting these classic games through ePSXe has been a joy. Apply a great filter like xBRZ or xBR and just marvel at how these still hold up today. This one even has a fan patch you should check out as it fixes a couple bugs and errors in the game. What you shouldn't probably do is by this for 300 plus dollars LOL.
4894 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recently started using my Nintendo 64 with my large flat screen TV. Until I found this product, I had to put an uncomfortable chair close to the N64 system to play.
I purchased Half-Life 2 Game of the Year Edition and saw there was no Team Fortress Classic so I had to purchase the original Half-Life I highly recommend you play TF online. A typical round lasts 10 minutes and after those 10 minutes you get to see everybodys score whether its kills (1 point), or capturing the flag (10 points). Its good fun running into an opponent then backing away cause its a stale mate then throwing a grenade at a corner having it bounce off the wall and detonating, he sees that and runs out in your line of sight where theres a friendly sentry gun (Engineer builds these) right behind ya he runs into. Engineers are extremely good as they have an EMP grenade (others dont), they build teleports, sentry guns, and ammo stations while all the other classes are based more on speed, health, and their weapon damage.
You need to feel this game. Cringe as Pai floors you with a double toe kick and mercilessly follows up with a jumping knee to the midriff. Cheer as you fight back with a spinning kick as you get up. You nimbly dodge the next kick and fire off a triple punch combo, finishing with a powerful backhanded punch to win the round. Watch it on the replay, go on. Laugh at Shun's ever-increasing drunkenness. Memorise that sweep kick movement. Gape as you realise fighting games do not have to feature blazing blue fireballs and Super Hyper Alpha Combo Breaking Double EX Special Level Three moves. Instead, here's a fighting game where the feature is actual fighting! Crikey!
There are some overpowered items in this game so I find that if you attack in smaller mobs than come in in a large group you might be able to slow down their building of weapons. When they have the most advanced weapons/robots you can't really beat them and neither can they beat you as you would probably have the top items as well. That's the only problem I really found in this game against the computer.
Another good thing was the BEM-T3 scope, which you are given early in the game. This device allows you to look at people, and tell if they are still human or have been affected by the Ark virus. It also allows you to see through lockers, through plants to look for hidden doors, and also helps negate the bad camera angles you will suffer when going around corners. I would walk around a corner, and then pull out the scope to check down the hall, because you are then given a first person view, and can check for hiding creatures.
9299 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is a lot of fun and has a great story to boot!
The control of the game is EXCELLENT. It took a while to get used to the odd control, but now, if I had a preference, I would love to use the N64 controller to navigate any and ALL first-person shooters....I love the control scheme.
9184 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is terrible!!! I wish I could rate it with negative stars. This is a disgrace to wrestling, sports entertainment, and anything associated with it. As big of a joke as wrestling is, this is still bad.
8138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it came with the s-nes console back when i was 7. this mario is arguably the best ever designed. great game-play, replay value and one of the best soundtracks you will ever hear in a 16 bit.
2220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great for people who have an N64 but no expansion pack to have. Overall a great addition to a N64 gamers guide.
1122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From a graphics standpoint, this was and still is the best Legend Of Zelda ever. The story was great as well as the gameplay. All and all this was a great homecoming for the Hero of Hyrule. Great game from beginning to end. 10 stars.

What do you do after you unlock everything? Play multiplayer mode of course which is the best part of the game. You and up to 3 friends or AI duke it out in a free-for-all. Don't like playing by yourself, you can set it to teams with up to 3 teams(red, green, or blue) and fight that way. You can play by lives or by a time limit. You'll never get tired of this game and be popping it in every so often for years to come.
+The job system is fun to play with
This cd features ROBOTRON, JOUST, DEFENDER 1, DEFENDER 2, SINISTAR, AND BUBBLE BOBBLE, all perfectly emulated! Even the original "bugs", original sounds, etc...they're all there! "Arcades Greatest Hits" is surely an appropriate title! You should also check out "Arcades Greatest Hits 2" which features MORE incredible retro 80's games we all still love.

Barret Wallace, the original leader of Final Fantasy VII's most notorious terrorist group, is portrayed with a boisterous, short-tempered disposition that often comes just short of racial caricature. It also doesn't really help that he's constantly outdone by everyone's favorite spiky-headed Aryan every five minutes. All things considered, he's treated pretty fairly when compared to someone like Sazh from FFXIII, and remains one of the most likeable characters in the game. He's more human than Cloud, less whiny than Vincent, and not as much of a misogynistic bastard as Cid.
4552 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great seller, will use again.
- again a little sidequests
This game is the first one since Half-Life that, like a good book, I could not pull myself away from. And like a REALLY good book, it's worth playing a second time through.
2561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ridge Racer type 4 is fantastic. The graphics are top notch. The soundtrack to this game is fantastic, with selectable music before each race. The girl in the FMV at the begining is even pretty hot. Lets face it the Ridge Racer is the origonal and still king of the playstation race games. Gran Turismo is just plain too complex to be any fun. You have to play Gran Turismo for hours before getting any good at it. Ridge Racer is just pick up and play, try it out!
I missed it so much I repurchased it and I've never been happier to see an old game back in my hands. Fun fun fun.
2032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, and now I have all 3

1646 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Twisted Metal 2 was a HUGE game back in the day. The graphics were really good for its time, and the play control, while some will probably argue with me, was always accurate and responsive. This is truly a classic game. It had many imitators that hardly anyone remembers these days. Stick with the Twisted Metal series though. You can't go wrong with the amount of destruction this game has to offer.
Even more exciting than trading, however, was what really made Pokemon a blast to play: Battling. You and your friends could get together and battle one another! Test out your Pokemon teams against your friends. They were, more often not, far better to battle against than the games trainers. It's always interesting to see who your opponents heavy hitter is. With your friends it was always interesting. Imagine how embarrassed you were to say a certain Pokemon sucked only to discover that the trainer actually did a good job training?
3136 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 7 is a masterpiece. What a cliche! Masterpiece; a term suggesting the undisputed magnum opus of an already venerable company. Many things gain this mark, but few live up to their expectation. Final Fantasy 7 does.
9396 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I first played this game when I was 5 on my cousin's Super Nintendo. I always loved the movie and this is one of the few games based on a movie that I feel is truly based on the movie, and not the game creator's version of the movie. Five stars for that part.
9095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought this to relive the glory days with my dad. He still plays this thing over his brand new PS4.
This game was voted as the greatest Playstation game of all time by both IGN and Gamespot and for good reason. It is simply one of the best games ever made and already a timeless classic.
What makes Max Payne unique is that it uses John Woo style moves and action. This was the first game to feature "bullet time", which allows the player to slow down the action and perform fancy dive and jump moves while blasting their weapon at a target in slo-mo. Couple this with a good story and vengeance and you have a winning game. You get sucked into the world of Max Payne and you can't help but love it.
6365 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First of all, this review is ASSUMING THAT THE GAME WORKS ON YOUR COMPUTER. I read some of the other reviews below and heard about how this game isn't compatible with some graphics cards or whatever. If that were the case, I'd haved to give this game one star. But since this game did run perfectly well on my machine, here's what I have to say about it. The only space sim that I've played other than Tachyon is X-Wing--an old VGA game--but in many ways X-Wing was the turning point in space sims. The graphics in Tachyon are really good, if somewhat redundant. What I mean is that sometimes I see the same patterns and textures on space stations. Speaking of space stations, I was MOST IMPRESSED by their SIZE. The people at Novalogic really did an outstanding job at scaling things correctly. But what really got me to buy this game was the fact that you could buy different ships and decide what armament and upgrades you want to put on it. Certain ships have a certain amount of slots, and the possible combinations are nearly endless. Another nice feature is that you can own multiple ships at once, or sell individual ships or parts for money. You can hire wingmen to assist you on missions. Since there is no in-flight camera, it's hard to tell if your wingmen did anything to help you, but at least they don't die easily--even the poorer pilots. There are several external view, but I didn't find them very helpful. They should have put a gunsight on the external view so that you could fly through the mission, accomplish it, and enjoy the scenery at the same time. The game is sorta nonlinear. You get to choose which level mission you want to undertake, but ultimately you will end up doing the others. The missions are fairly simple and varied, which is nice. I remember that X-Wing was downright frustrating at times. By the way, there are cheats for this game, so if you get stuck, look 'em up. The levels with the fog are interesting, although they can be a strain on the eyes and disorientating at times. But that's not until the end. There are some cut-scenes, but nothing truly original or amazing--they're still the in-game graphics. This game could have been better, but overall I'd say it's worth its price. But I'd check to make sure it can run on your machine, first.
4154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Roller Coster Tycoon blows the Sim City series out of the water. In this game you try to complete objectives by building an amusements park that will keep your guests happy. You will get a limited amount of money to start than once your park becomes popular you can raise prices to earn more money. Your park will only do good if you have crazy rides and food, drink, and bathrooms. You can put out add campaigns and hire and fire workers. Every kind of stand and ride you can think of will be in this game. If you don't want to use the standard designs for the rides you can come up with your own crazy concaktion and by the way the guests will like that a lot better. You will wish you can go to these parks, ride these rides, and eat these foods. I strongly suggest that you get this game whatever age you are.
2518 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As expected
Interesting puzzles that really didn't make any sense and still don't LOL.
What did we get? Instead of a great closer dungeon, we got a door way that was blocked by barriers. What did we have to do? Go thru six rooms and beat whatever was in them, then go and shoot the barrier corresponding with each temple to open the pathway. And what did I get? A great disappointment. Sure, this might have been a good way to end a novel or something, but to end a Zelda game like that was horrible. The Game Boy was forgivable and acceptable, but this ending to Zelda 64 was truly despicable. That has been my biggest disappointment with the Zelda series.
7870 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs. The added tactics of the one-on-one and army battles are a great addition to the game. It's also really fun to collect all 108 characters.
This game was not too hard for me, and I beat it when I was in the single-digits as a child. That given, it shouldn't be too hard for any age. Buy this game now if you haven't ever played it, since it is one of those video games you have to beat.
1787 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best PS1 games!
Characters 9/10: I have to commend whoever came up with these interesting characters: they make the game! Even on your own crew, each one is distinctive: Falco, for example, plays along the lines of "the tough guy with a secretly caring heart." Peppy is like the fatherly instructive type, and Slippy plays along the lines of a new school boy. Finally, Fox, the same character you control, often takes on a reserved leadership role (which makes sense). Each one has his own quirks; and, though any of them can be annoying on a certain level, you can't help but feel a degree of liking for each of them. Their lines, though perhaps epic for the time, can be somewhat cheesy and/or cliche (Peppy's, "It's Quiet . . . too quiet." is a good example); but the cheesiness adds to what is oddly a funny and light-hearted game. You often can't help but think, "I shouldn't be laughing at this," but you'll laugh anyway. It's just that kind of game. The A.I. of each character on maneuvering is decent; but, until you get skilled enough, it can be hard not to shoot at them or let enemies get them, as they get in your way at the oddest times (then fuss at you when you do hit them). Peppy occasionally gives advice that doesn't particularly help either, though it hardly ever hurts if you follow it. Speaking of advice, though, the game can make you depend on your characters if you're newer at it, as they can each do something useful: Peppy gives advice and often tells you where to shoot, Slippy analyzes boss health meters, and Falco often covers you. If someone gets shot down, you'll miss him. Finally, the characters are also pretty life-like in behavior: try shooting down enemies that Falco is chasing on some levels, and listen to his reaction to it.
* Boundaries (or areas of influence) are introduced.. these help "manage" war/peace and some of the really annoying situations in Civ II.
My best comparison would be the PC Games Black & White and Rainbow Six meet each other. The scenarios & cartoonish artwork provided are precursors to the ones you experience in Black & White. I am NOT a fan of "shoot 'em up" games, but I loved the first-person shooter aspect of this game. The controls are rather easy to learn and the combination of weapons and extra accessories make the game very fun to play. The multi-player addition is also entertaining but perhaps not as fun as some games. This is one of the few "shoot 'em up" games that might be more fun in the stand-alone version (vs. the PC) than the multi-player mode. The multi-player configuration is still entertaining enough to keep you hooked.
4144 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I would probably have had more fun if I hadn't used Age of Empire II before this one. Age of Empire II/Conqueror has so many more functionalities. Not having these functionalities requires much more manual 'handling'. For instance, in AOE II, double-clicking on a unit will select all units of that type present on the screen. It wouldn't work with this version, very annoying. I played 15 hours, just to give it a fair chance, then I gave up. The disk will be forgotten in a drawer, too bad.
3253 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Allright, I admit It When it comes to Gameplay This Game [loses] But When It Comes To Creating Wrestlers This Game Is Revolutionary. The Create-A-Wrestler Feature On This Game Is So Detailed That You Don't Just Pick The Face, You Pick The Eyes The Nose and The Mouth. You Also Can Put Lettering On Your Clothing, And Have A Wide Variety Of Masks, Face-Paint, And Apparel. With This Game You Could Create The L.O.D., And Even The Insane Clown Posse! The Create-A-Wrestler Mode Is So Detailed This Game Is Worth Playing Just For That. I Only Wish That Modern Wrestling Games With C.A.W. Mode Would Take a Page From This Game.
To give just a little history, when the N64 came out, I had some family who were in the middle of a divorce after an ugly affair in 1994 with a pastor of a church we all went too. My friend, (who we will call Courty) who was born in 1987 and who I consider as close as a brother, was just a young kid and going through the hell of his family disintegrating. His father was dysfunctional and drank a lot and his mother was an adulterer. His mother and my mother grew up together and known each other since grade school. His brother and my brother were best friends, being the same age. And although there was a seven year difference between himself and I, we were super close (and still are), because of how close our families were (and still are). I remember turning 17 in January of 1997, and my family had a big birthday party and I got my very own N64 and a copy of this game.

As simple as the plot is the game play is as well. It's as simple as driving and using a few cool moves and special weapons. There are some basic puzzles at times along the way that challenge you to think ahead.
The other gameplay modes include training, boss battle, survival, and more. Two-player battles can also accommodate multiple player characters, in both versus and cooperative (ie P1 and P2 vs C1 and C2, or P1 and P1 vs P2 and P2). Two-player back in the days of SSF2:Turbo was the only way to play, but Alpha 3 dramatically increased the available options for single players. These lend towards the game's long life, as one player can play in various modes ranging from standard arcade style to fighting bosses to survival mode and more.
5433 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Finally getting around to reviewing this game. MK Trilogy is a great Mortal Kombat game. The PS1 version (and the other versions on older systems) have good reply value, especially w/ friends & siblings. The graphics are good for a older fighting game. Similar to the arcade's. The controller configuration is good. This game has a pretty decent size roster of characters to play as. Including bosses, like Shao Kahn,Goro,Kintaro. If you have a PS2 you can play this PS1 game on it. I have a PS2 w/ HD cables. And have went into my PS3's settings, & configured it to play PS1 games. My PS3 has HDMI hooked up to a 1080LCD. When playing this game on my LCD in the PS3, it's sharp, yet smudgy. Just exposing the pixels a bit more. I still get down on it. If you have a older TV and play it on there it'll look it's best. A early 200's TV w/ HD inputs but not being a LCD will be the ultimate way to get it's full potential! I recommend this game to anyone into MK games and old school fighters!
If you are like me, you will play this game several times through, each time 50-100 hours or more, and you will, literally, never forget it. I've done all this, and there is still some quest involving things you can search for on the map screen that I am intrigued by and have not successfully completed.
1568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i have not played this in a while. but this is fun though. but then who does not like to blow up your competitors in a race.
3597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast is hands down the best gaming bang for the buck currently on the market. I picked mine up about a month ago and have not regretted the decision. Although, I am 41 years old and am a PC gamer at heart, there are just some games that the PC cannot do well. Specifically fighting games (Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur, etc.), which are best with multiple players and controllers, and light-gun games (House of the Dead 2, Confidential Mission), which are unbelievably fun with a light-gun (Mad Catz makes a good one). And since PC's don't do multiple controllers well, much less light-guns, I was left with the Dreamcast system as my only choice, mainly because of its current price-point and its awesome selection of classic titles, which by the way are also coming down in price since the Dreamcast is out of production. My advice: Get this system while you can and as many games that interest you for it too, since as time passes, certain of these games are sure to become sought-after collector's items; indeed, some already are.
However, RE's favorite rebel biker sets out to prove him wrong, fighting hordes of the undead, along with freak mutations, while meeting some enemy faces like the Ashfords, and some slightly-irritating ones, like Steve Burnside. While there, she stumbles upon secrets about the island's owners, the Ashfords, and dark secrets on the history of Umbrella, taking her as far south as one could imagine, and even towing her lost brother Chris into the mix.
2897 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Greatest Game of all time. Got this game back in 1997. It was the sole reason I got a Playstation. Since then I have played and beaten it about 40 times or so. The characters, the magic system, the beautiful pre rendered steam/cyber punk world, the Story/lore, the mini games and sidequests, and the replayability are all on God Level.
If you can get your hands on a copy of PSII (I'm not selling mine!) check it out. The graphics are surprisingly strong for a Genesis title, and the audio isn't bad either. Of course, this is one of my all-time favorites, so I'm a little biased.
8071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love this game because you get to ride on yoshi and fly like superman. Fast shipping arrived in great condition just as described. Great classic game to add to my collection. Highly recommended. Thanks! A+
1567 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always wanted to have this game since it first came out. Its a must have and its a classic that, for me, will never be too long to play. Its fun and the graphics are great for the time it came out. And its fun all when you play by yourself or another person. If you are looking for shooting games and you like car, this is a must have.
8242 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now if I had the choice, yes the PC version of Doom is superior to this. However! When this came out back in the 90's, a lot of us didn't have PC's. And if we did, they weren't "gaming PC's". It's not like today where every PC has software installed upon purchase that can play most games. Back in the day you had to install extra graphics cards & misc software to get games to run correctly. It was just a lot easier for the rest of us to pick up the port. And that we did! While the graphics are pretty ugly by today's standards, this is still a very playable game. And for those who can appreciate it, a TON of fun! Also, for those of us with a larger SNES collection, that bright red cartridge is pretty badass :-P You never have to look far for DOOM!
The gameplay is somewhat autonomous in the sense that the game basically does whatever it wants until you sling a rock anywhere on the screen. Pac-Man moves in a direction continually until either something attacks him or you hit him with either a rock or a Super Pac-Ball or he just decides he doesn't like you anymore. The engine is based on Pac-Man's emotions. If you keep Pac-Man happy, he'll do whatever it is you want him to do and this is usually the only way to ensure that you complete any of the game's missions because if you make Pac-Man angry, he'll ignore your commands and ignore objects in the environment that you'll need to have to complete missions.

3922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very realistic! t makes you feel like a contestant on the actual game show. Plus you get to choose from many special locations. Get this game now...you'll love it!!
4572 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is an excellent game, but not one that you can really jump right into. It takes a lot of playing to get used to the (MANY) controls and commands. Microprose was quite thourough and everything is pretty darn authentic. If you've got the time and patience this game is very rewarding.......one downside, no joystick calibration? or force feedback....otherwise excellent!
412 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While the game may be outdated and not as fun to play as some of the more recent titles, I can't fault this game because this is where it all started.
If someone is running around with a machine gun, you can pop them a few times with a shotgun to put them down. If someone has a bigger gun then you, you can run, wait, and then grind into them with a gauntlet around the corner. Getting the last frag in a tight match is thrilling. Jumping off platforms down something like 60 feet never felt more real. The difference between Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament is that one obeys the laws of physics and the other loosely follows them.
One flaw I would say is the game loses its momentum as you progress further. When you begin the game, its so awesome and great and you just love it. But as you make it to the final few stages, the enemies get harder and start blocking a lot more, and they keep on coming and coming. It can get aggravating. But nothing will top those first few levels. The 3rd stage, the elevator, is epic. You walk over to the glass box and punch it open to get the axe out, which you then use to chop your enemies up. Its very violent and bloody, but yet only escaped with a Teen rating. Well deserved, I say.
1946 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Capcom followed up the surprise success of the original Resident Evil with this blockbuster smash in 1998. Resident Evil 2 had everything the original had plus tons more; bigger more detailed environments, weirder puzzles, more suspense, more blood and gore, and a compelling story that kept the gamer on the edge of their seat. In this installment you play as rookie cop Leon Kennedy or Claire Refield: the sister of Chris from the first game. Instead of a secluded mansion like the first game, this time all of Raccoon City has been infected by Umbrella's virus and you have to wade through an assortment of flesh eating zombies, mutated dogs, hunters, a new monster called the Licker (whose introduction in the game is one of the most unforgettable parts in any video game), and some unbelieveably grotesque beasts who will stop at nothing until your dead. Resident Evil 2 was an instant smash hit upon it's release and has since been regarded as a classic video game and an essential play for any gamer. Since then, the game has been re-released on other systems such as the Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, and most recently the Gamecube; so now gamers of any generation can play one of the most addicting and innovative games of all time.
2. Four controller ports and a console that USES ALL OF THEM. What's more fun than player single player? Playing multiplayer. The finest form of that is playing multiplayer in a four way spectacular. Invite three friends over and have a ball.
9730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite Twisted Metal game and I totally LOVE IT!!! Now, I got it years ago, but it was delivered very fast and damage free. Buy it, you won't regret it.

4523 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My experiences with the Parappa the Rapper series, prior to this, have been......to put it lightly, not so great. This is because the only game I played then was the PSP version of the first game, and while I wanted to love it, I simply couldn't mainly due to half-broken controls, among some other things. You could read my review of it for more details on that; I gave it three stars. Anyway, not only did I decide to get this game for my Playstation in hopes of it playing better, but I got it in brand new-condition when I could've simply purchased a used copy! Fortunately, this game was worth every penny.
But if you want a solid first-party party game, then this is it. I haven't played GoldenEye 007 or Perfect Dark yet- so as far as pure multiplayer mania is concerned, this is number 2 next to Mario kart 64.

2284 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Phantom Menace takes you on a journey through the great moments of the film. It features very sharp looking graphics with a third person view (a la Tomb Raider.) There are many puzzles within the actions scenes. Each of the levels are pretty long and will take time for you to complete. The hardest of which is when you first meet "the mysterious little boy." There isn't much to say bad about the game except that it could have benefited from being first person rather than 3rd. Some of the camera angles are weird. Other than that, this is a very solid effort.
5763 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I hadn't played an FF game for a long time, so I picked up FFX, hoping that all the good pub this game got would be true. Alas, it was not. FFX was a wretched game, no doubt. Disgusted after spending 40 hours, I went back into the series, having heard that the earlier games were better. My best buy had FFVIII on sale for like $15, so I bought it, figuring it couldn't be worse than X. I was wrong. Where to begin? I'll start with the music, which is really repetitive. It's really not even that good. Next, the storyline, which is SO bizzare. So Edea is the enemy. No, she's being possessed by some other person. Who you've never heard mentioned. Not once, until the 3rd disc. WTF? The draw/junction system is horrendous as well. Why can't I use the MP system? But my biggest complaint with this game is the GFs. At least by FFX they were smart enough to have the option to eliminate the intro scene. NO such option here. And I looked HARD. Each one requires a year and a day to summon, so you just sit and watch Leviathan materialize, create a slide, and drop water down it. How impressive. If each character is summoning a GF, you could get up, drive 3 hours away to pick up some shoes on the side of the road, come back home, make dinner, eat, go to the bathroom, and sit back down and Pandemona would still be firing its attack. And you can't avoid this, because your characters are so weak physically, that you must use them at least twice a battle. In the event you find enough items to improve your weapon, this amount decreases, but you still use nothing but GFs during boss fights. You don't even use real magic! Why? because using magic takes away defense points from your junction system! You may use heal and status magics, but blacks are out of the question. Besides, they're weaker than the GFs! Even when triple cast, a triple cast blizzaga is weaker than Shiva! Who thought of this? I'm about 1/3 way through the 3rd disc, and I really don't even want to finish it. When I found out the same people who designed this game designed X, it came to me as no surprise. So many bad things about this game were evident in X, it was eerie. Shame on square for allowing the makers of this game to make X.
3061 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. It is absolutely THE BEST vg i have ever played.
Annoyances aside, if your a fan of the PlayStation having the three main Naughty Dog-developed Crash titles in your library is a no-brainer. If you haven't played them and want to do yourself a huge favor and play them in order so you'll be able to appreciate the improvements each sequel brings with it. Unlike some franchises the first three Crash games get better and bolder with each step. As for the game being discussed here, Crash 2 leaves a lot to be desired to in my book but then I can't really say I dislike it either. I do wish it was a little better (polished) than where it stands now but then that probably a part of why Warped is so good. So while I would definitely warn others of game's cheaper side I'd still recommend it to anyone with an interest in platformers.
But of course, my favorite side quest is the Skulltula side quest. It is very long and trying, but definitely worth it. This is another side quest many people wouldn't bother to complete, but completing it does have it's merits. For example: there is a very profitable rewards system in play. Destroy 10 Golden Skulltulas, and you get the adult wallet (holds 200 rupees). At 20, you get the stone of agony, which (when playing with a rumble pack inserted) will alert the player when a secret is nearby. At 30, get the Giant's Wallet and you can carry 500 rupees. At 40 you get Bombchus (I know, lame). At 50, get a piece of heart. After that, you get nothing more unless you manage to destroy all 100 golden skultullas. Doing this will result in you being able to get 200 rupees every time you visit the house of skultulla. Unlimited money is very cool, although a bit useless at that late a stage in the game.
9964 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AS=s unbelievable as it is Michael Jackson has made it into Sega Genesis! This is a great game to play! Dance, kill the bad guys, save the kidnapped girls! What more could you want? Oh yeah...Bubbles the chimp!
You play the Nameless One, a man who dies and comes back to life over and over again. You have bo idea who you are or what you're doing, and have nothing to guide you except a note tattooed on your back telling you to go visit a man named Pharod. From there you're plunged into a great long adventure all about finding out who you are and how you came to be what you are.
5856 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If not for Final Fantasy IX switching gears, the franchise may have died from this title. FFVII was a pure marvel and still is, but VIII lacked any good storyline and the characters weren't the least bit interesting. It's a solid piece if you want to have the entire series, let's say, pull it out once in a while to hack at it. It's hard to stay interested most of the time, although it does have some cool CG cut-scenes to do it justice, mostly, it's dull repetition and sits as a rushed follow up to FFVII and it shows. Fans, thank God for IX saving the day, X bringing in the next-generation, and XI, XII coming up. So long from the dullsville FFVIII calls Balaamb. I hope the cadets have retired...
The game is definitely a thinking game - one created for true strategists and role players, who want a challenge out of a game and not just a hack-fest. For gamers who have complained that RP could never be fun on a computer, try Planescape Torment. You just might have your hands full!
My only complaint is that they let the buttons (A is Jump, B is Attack) stay like the NES rather than shift it to the Super NES style, which would've made Y the attack button and B the jump button. However, it DOESN'T detract from the game AND TO RATE THIS GAME LOWER BECAUSE OF THAT WOULD BE FRIVOLOUS. I give this 5 stars, simply put, because all three Ninja Gaiden games are milestones in video gaming history.
Quests are now NOT random (thank God). What this means is that everyone gets the same quests. You still don't have to complete ALL of them, but trust me... you should.
The most frustrating aspect of this game is the fact that there isn't a save feature. Now, there are video games in which you don't even need to save your game. But here, it's pretty lengthy. Plus, the game gets kinda hard at times.
900 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one game that will test your skills, on how to figure things out, but if you want to take the easy way out you can always get bottles the neer sighted mole's help. One thing i like about this game is that when Bottle & Kazooie confront each other they always throw smack at each other which makes the storyline more funnier. This is a pretty cool game, it's worth buying. I had fun playing it, i will buy it.
You have bananas, golden and coloured, coins, coconuts, ammo, musical notes etc. and for five characters. The collecting seems endless, and when i was forty % done the game, i just stopped. I looked at this forest level and i said, this looks just like the desert and water ones, only with a different backdrop.
Your life bar also changes shape & size too for w/e reason
6140 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Trespasser is not a good shooting dinosaur game. It's frustrating and you're wandering around going nowhere with a stick. If you get a stick as a weapon, you know this game is going to be really bad. Second of all, where the heck are all the dinosaurs? I see a dino on the cover, dontcha think there should be some in the game? What else is bad? Well, I don't even want to talk about the graphics. They look like something you could find on an old Super Nintendo game. The camera angles are just plain awful. Most of the time, you're stuck in a wall with your puny stick. Next, the controls stink. You have to press another button while holding another button to walk. You can't walk straight because of the bad camera angles, you end up walking off a cliff. Whoopee. I'm having a lot of fun holding a stick and walking off cliffs. The only thing that stops this horrible game from getting the dreaded 1 is the music CD inside. You can listen to 7 music tracks on your CD player, watch 5 music videos on your computer, and ignore the other crap on the CD. Now, most of the tracks on the CD really do stink. But, the Powerman 5000 video, Propellerheads' Take California, and the Propellerheads video Bang On! keep the track from being just as bad as the game. So, whoever made this game should thank the music CD because it kept it away from being really really really bad. Oh, wait it already is. 2 stars.
Enter your name, turn off game, Rethink the past hour of your life, turn back on, name is not saved on leaderboard, OUT OF THIS HOUSE, OUT OF THIS HOUSE!
#2: Double Jump (allows you to jump over higher obstacles)
There are 26 units to choose from on each side, with 3 main classes of ships-from the paltry fire of the scout, to the amazing might of the heavy cruiser. The excellent use of 3D makes for some interesting strategies, putting much imphasis on the element of surprise...
Besides zombies, giant spiders, vicious dogs, and these disgusting creatures called "lickers" also occupy the police station. I'd say lickers are definitely the most complicated enemy to deal with because they have a habit of leaping at you with their claw hanging forward, and stabbing you. I love when you enter a room and you can't see a licker, but you can definitely hear them. You might hear a ticking sound or a very deep breathing sound to alert you a licker is around somewhere. I can't put into words how disturbingly Exorcist-like this game can be.
Now that Final Fantasy Tactics is available again as part of the Greatest Hits lineup, it's a worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in the most polished strategy/RPG around.
6542 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Even though this game has a HUGE map, great graphics, and everything you need to make the perfect RPG, it still stinks. I know this may sound crazy but it really isint. The main problem is combat. You select where you want to attack (high, medium, or low) and the computer does the rest. Also you have to pay 10.00 a month to play it. There are many other reasons why this game is absolutely no fun to play but trust me it is no fun at all. Remember, great graphics does not make a game, gameplay does.
The game with those three faults is still a five star product in my eyes and seeing how long it has been since it was released in my opinion that says alot about the quality put into this game.
There are lot of bosses that you have to beat and alot of stars to find. In order to fine them look very, very, hard you never know a star could be under your nose.
1741 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a few years old, of course, but I was so pleased with it that I played it all last night after it was shipped to me. Definitely the best fighting game for the fading N64 platform. It is somewhat easy on the easy settings (almost too easy mind you), and as you increase the challenge level, the computer opponents increase in ability almost 10 fold.
1423 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great and fun to play. They are many powers that you can get like flying and so on. The color of the background is alright. The color look's smooth and rich and bright.
9429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nice product
3630 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Let's sum up what is great about Dreamcast: Sensational graphics (equal to PS2), great sound, good controller design and an excellent, although not outstanding, software line up.
5208 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has the best plot in a story line ever and this is better than MGS 2 on PS2(PLAYSTATION 2).
4411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you love Diablo then why not add to it! There are two dungeons with an extra four levels. This gives you the ability to gain power and weapons before you get to the big guy! The Monk character is weak but interesting if you can make it work. If you know some of the codes for the command file you can get the rogue character to wield two weapons and watch the double damage fly! There are tons of new weapons and armor as well. This is worthy of your hard earned cash, especially at the current price!
9145 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was the first (and only) puzzle game I've ever bought for a video game console, and it hooked me from the first five minutes of starting it up.
3763 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The dreamcast is dead, no more consoles from sega, great games lost? Not neccasirly you can get them on the gamecube too. However I was hear to write a review.
8630 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good and as expected. Recommended !
Defualt keyboard controls are well thought out and easy to learn, altough the stock joystick layout leaves much to be deisred.
9473 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For while, it seemed like Psygnosis was unstoppable. Fresh off of the success of the awesome Wipeout games came this, one of the great console games of all time.
This game is truly stunning. Everything from the graphics to the music to the design are captivating. But the real highlight of this game, the thing that made me sit up and beg for more, is the storyline. It isn't even like a game--it's like an interactive movie of sorts. The conflicts between the characters, their troubled pasts, the love story, and the plot twists that three times made me drop my controller from surprise kept me entranced from start to finish. My mother saw so little of me she threatened to break the fourth disc in half so that I could never continue. Whenever the basic idea of walking and fighting began to wear on my desire to continue, it was the storyline that propelled me to move forward. I had to find out what was to happen next.
8532 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Streets Of Rage is an all time beat em up classic. The graphics are great and so is the gameplay. The soundtrack is awesome too. This game...in my opinion is second best,compared to S of R 2. I wasn't all that big into S of R 3 at all. The orginal game blows the third one away. My favorite character that I pick most of the time is Adam. He is sort of slow,but he's got an awesome jump kick. Overall,this game is a classic and a Sega Genesis owner must-have. Buy this along with the second game,but I would avoid part 3...but that's just what I think anyway.
980 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is really fun, but I honestly enjoyed Crash Team Racing for the PlayStation a lot more. One thing that annoys me about this game is that you can't look behind you. I pressed every button and I can't get the camera to face behind the racer and this makes it impossible to shoot green turtle shells from behind without proper aiming. So nine out of ten times, I'm going to miss my target. How did Nintendo screw up this badly. And the racers are pre-rendered much like how Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were in Donkey Kong Country for the SNES. I was wondering why wasn't it computer generated like Super Mario 64? It's still a nice little game, a little pricey, but still nice to have in your N64 collection.
CONS:
4. Dymatic ending and great finish.
1456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Talk about being able to play a game forever, this seems to be the case with SC3000. This game is well done, with many features, controls, interfaces, and ultimately, complete control for you the Mayor. I have played this game over and over and built incredible cities like New San Francisco. I know you will experience tons of fun when you buy this one.
This is NOT for everyone and only for people with a lot of patience and I would say, avid computer gamers, and avid computer games who can appreciate slow, methodical, thinking games that do offer entertainment and beautiful graphics and music. There is some violence and character interaction, but this is by far no "Halo" "Resident Evil" or "Gears of War". I must say the first time I played I got very far, but then got lost and had to buy a game guide. When I went back to it later I could not figure anything out and got nowhere fast, you don't care about that but I'm baffled I was so lost the SECOND time playing. Anyway, Riven is an old game, but the graphics hold up. If you can get it cheap, go for it. I will say do not be fooled by a look-alike game "Rhem" it is Riven-lite and hardly worth your time. I will also say that even if you are so confused you don't understand anything you're doing or what the story is I still think you'll be entertaining. It is really a cool game to play.
381 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still remember when I first bought this game back in 1997. It was when I first got my PS and I wasn't disappointed.
Couple this with the fact that camera angles are constantly changing on you, it makes for a very ho-hum experience.
Bad points: It can be irritating because it is so challenging. Also, there are a lot of extremely dark areas of maps that make it hard to see (maybe even impossible). At the time of its release I thought the graphics were great, but now that I play through it again, they are kind of disappointing. I mean, still decent for the time but considering similar games that were on the 64...they could have done a bit better.
853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best shoot em up on the N64. I was very impressed with the game play, the graphics, the action, the multi player fun, everything.... the only downfall about the game is I wanted more, more, more. The cheats are great when you unlock them and the best thing is you don't need a memory card, everything saves on the cartridge. RARE actualy managed to compress a game that was too big for the N64 into this game somehow, and it suprises me that it does not even use the N64 Expansion pack to do that!!! This game is not just hoursand hours of fun, but days, weeks, years . i still play this cool game even today!
In the end, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time makes the cut. Even though the gameplay consists mainly of dungeon-dwelling and puzzle-solving, the impressive graphics, quality sound and everything that's been obtained from previous Zelda titles will keep fans and non-fans alike entertained. It's fun.
Definately check out TEKKEN 3. This one is definitely worth it for the PSone. If you're looking for other great fighting games on the PSone, check out the STREET FIGHTER ALPHA series, SOUL BLADE and DEAD OR ALIVE 2.
There needs to be an in-game save instead of a per-scenario save. Some of the missions are just too long to have to repeat. In base-building missions it will restart you with the buildings you've already built, but even so it's a chore to repeat things over & over again. Having an in-game save should be rule #1 in the game developer's handbook.
In addition, the AI can be pretty dumb at times, either standing there while I shoot at it or running straight away as I slug it's back with rounds.
8945 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great, thank you!!
5372 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you are a lawsuit happy whacko stay away from this one. It's not for the family, unless you happen to be in the Manson family! This game is a one player, 1st person shooter. There is a cable link option and if you are lucky enough to have two TVs, two game consols and two game CDs then you can have some real battles (same goes for the original DOOM)as you blast your way through violent, disguised communists or declare war on your playing partner. There are several levels and most get a little tougher as you finish each level. The music can be turned off to make the setting even more realistic. Lots of suprises and weapons keep this body count classic fresh. Nothing like a point blank double barrel shotgun blast to the face to really make you mad! A great deal at this price for sure.
Good game, good price, if you haven't played it... play it now
Overall, you know what I want you to do, so do it. Buy the game
Overall, Myst was a historic computer game back in 1993 and is still worth playing 20 years later. From the early 1990s, I personally preferred Presto Studios' Journeyman Project, which also had a compelling point-and-click adventure and featured pre-rendered 3D environments. However, until that game gets rereleased, Myst is easily the best point-and-click adventure readily out there.
..you bet.
The last time I played this, I played it on the Xbox 360 with the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection. It has a ton of Genesis games as well as some leaderboard stuff and online co-op. Kind of cool, though I am happy to say I still won't his game on the original cart. :)
6198 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Released on September 29, 1996, it seems like only yesterday I was spending countless amount of hours at my brother's house playing Goldeneye,WWF War Zone and Killer Instinct. Being the only 3 games we owned at the time, we played them until our fingers almost had blisters. Of course I was a PS1 fan boy at the time and wasn't able to fully enjoy other titles until I got much older and was able to purchase the N64 and other titles with my own money.
GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS
Not recommended. I advise renting the game only. ONLY BUY IT IF YOU ARE A DIE-HARD N64 FAN. Otherwise, I strongly recommend skipping it. I'm a big Castlevania fan and I feel that this game does not do the series justice. I noticed some people in their reviews that they liked this game over Bloodlines (Genesis); Why?! Bloodlines had far better gameplay and replay value than this! Perhaps it's because 90% of gamers today prefer graphics over gameplay, when it's GAMEPLAY that creates the game.
5448 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Mortal Kombat Trilogy was a popular game back in the early days of the Playstation's existence. Even before the Playstation Mortal Kombat was known as a groundbreaking game for its graphic violence on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. It was the first of its kind, or one of the first. Looking back at the old 2D fighter games, despite the heavy amount of blood and all the creative fatalities, Mortal Kombat STINKS, plain and simple. The game tries to look dangerous and back in the day it really WAS a threat. Parents were terrified that their children might experience all the blood and gore.
But wait, there's more! Other modes of play include a two-player missions mode and a counter-op mode where one player jumps between bad guys to stop the other player, ala matrix. The game's overworld is also a training center which has several tasks of its own to be completed.
- There isn't as much useless fun stuff in this one. There is plenty of poster parodies and things, but there isn't much stuff like when you click on the gambling tables, duke says, "I don't have time to play with my self" ... that is in the game, but there should have been more. Like in DN64 when Duke clicks on the Duke-Burger drive through thing a voice of Butthead of Beavis and Butthead says, "umm, go away, where like closed or something" those where the things I loved in DN3D, there isn't as much of that stuff in this one. There is even a couple of pool tables, but you can't play pool on it like in 3D/64. You can only blow them up.
4871 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love South park. Fast delivery. Would recommend.
I myself am a fan of Resident Evil so for the price this is a cool game. The same problems from RE come with Dino Crisis however.... lack of ammo!! Besides this it's a fun game, lots of puzzles to figure out and lots of shoot first ask questions later type of fun.
Of course, the big thing that everyone is talking about is the slow motion sequences. Some of these are activated by the player, and besides looking cool, they allow you to overcome some situations that would be almost impossible otherwise. The other time slo-mo comes into play is when you kill the last enemy in a particular area, when you see them flying through the air with a grimace on their face - a very nice touch.
9231 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Story: This game actually has a story to it. A fighting game with a story, who knew. The story is: A meteor struck the Earth, and caused great chaos. Seven gods from ancient times awoke, and are now attempting to take control of the post-apocalyptic world. These seven gods are giant dinosaurs and apes which is pretty cool. Now, as one of these crazy blood thirsty monsters, you are set out to conquer the Earth. The story is pretty good in my opinion.
5. Tomb Raider...
8355 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario is the king of platforming but Donkey Kong is probably the prince. The Story is funny, Cranky Kong saw the Success of Donkey Kong Country and said it was because of the Graphics and said they would never make it on a 8 bit system, but they did and the Graphics push the Gameboy to it's limit. It is a great platformer with great Graphics for its time. 4.5/5
2963 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was playing the other final fantasy games and I heard this one was like $1.000 of dollers but I find this and i am glad to casue i really wanted to play this. So yeah i am really happy with the item i got

3513 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just bought a Dreamcast about 3 months ago. Never owned one before, however a friend of mine had one back in the day when it was still somewhat popular 11 years ago. I wasn't really into video games at that time, but I loved playing Soul Calibur with him.
TV intro @ beginning
MUSIC: The music is beautiful, always fitting, and stays in your head for days. Aeris' Theme alone is enough to motivate you to buy the soundtrack. Absolutely wonderful. Almost the best aspect of the game. 11/10
2557 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 THE GRAPHICS AREN'T TOO GOOD, THE CARS LOOK GREAT BUT ARE LOADED WITH MORE HANDLING PROBLEMS THAN EVER BEFORE, AND THE GAMEPLAY SUCKS. LET'S FACE IT, THE ONCE-GREAT RIDGE RACER SERIES IS NOW DEAD. AND THIS IS THE GAME THAT HELPED SEAL ITS FATE.
Multiplayer stages- 7/10 I wish Rare would have designed more Goldeneye-esque multiplayer stages. Most of the new stages are rather generic and not very innovative. There are a few great ones (sewers, ravine, and some others whose names I forget), but overall the stages have a rather dull and uninspired look. Don't fear, however, because the Goldeneye favorites are back. Facility (how called faculty or some other odd name) returns as basically a ported but slightly upgraded version of the goldeneye level. Another favorite, Complex is back, and the same can be said about Complex, basically a ported version. Temple also returns, although unfortunately I am not a fan of this multiplayer stage.
5617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, fast shipping. Game is really no different in regular or greatest hits. Just the original price was lower once the greatest hits came out. I played both and one thing which may be at random is the bosses seemed harder on the original. But again this may be a random event.
6204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awsome thnx
9893 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best home console version of the arcade hit! Many Snes players complained that their version sucked! Well guess what, the Genesis version came out on top. It has proven the test of time! I remember playing this game at the arcades when I was a kid and loving it! It was the game that introduced me to Comic books and heroes. I couldn't wait for the genesis version to come out. When it did I was not disapointed. Sure the graphics and melee attacks aren't completely the same. evertheless this was very close version to the arcade. It plays very similar especially if you have the Genesis arcade sticks!!! I would recomend this game to anyone that likes beat'em up games, just make sure you play with the Genesis Arcade sticks. That was something the Snes never had!!! Get this game, you will love it just as I do today after many years!
When the game boots, you will be given the option to create a graphics cache file. If you don't set the graphics cache file, the game will crash. Most users are so hot to get into the game that they neglect the little details of setting up options. All you have to do is set the graphics cache file. The graphics cache file uses about 500 mb of your swap file. Here's a trick. Clean up your OS system drive. Remove junk files in your Temp folder; in fact, remove everything you see in your temp folder. Next, go clean the Temp Internet Files folder.
8908 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here is some data and some static and other information about this game from the mid 1990s area during the last years that supernintendo was in business before It was replace with the nintendo 64 for in between 1996 and discontinue around 2002 maybe earlier. It's popularity was also short lived. You can beat this game with only 109 shoit is if you find and use the plasma a lot on the bosses the special weapon given to you by the metroid that was captured which ironcially scarfices its self to heal you restore your health if you make it to the final boss fight against mother brain. Unfortunately ike at ridely the first time when he can't be defeated mother brained iniaties a self desctruct seqeunce upon here defeat you have about 3 minutes to get out of all the chamber on to your ship and off the planet or your toast. The original metriod in the mid 1980s was a big hit creating several sequels and prequels including metroid Prim I and Metroid Prim II. The first game is actuallu metroid prime for gamecube. Also Samus depisite the characters brod shoulders look is actually a girl. If you die in the game super metrioid her armor dissapeares and she appears naked for a few second then you must reloaded the game from the last save point used .Which this player on you tube that posted this run neglected to use thank good he always healed inbetween bose fights picked up enough spare energy packets to beat all the bosses except for the two sub bosses in about and hour the world speed recorded for this game. Also if you want to know Ridly, and Kraid where destroyed before Super Metriod in Metriod II return of Samus for either gameboy or game gear Ridly, and Krad were also boss in that game also but were somehow were clone or recreated. In between this game and the prequel Metriod II return of Samus. Got to I hope this information was helpful and interesting.

Noteworthy songs:
6869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game for years, and I play it everyday whenever my lil bro is playing my xbox360. The team that I use the most is the Houston Rockets., sometimes the Chicago Bulls. No matter how big you win, the A.I. will always come back no matter what the difficulty or what cheats you put in. Even though I use the goaltending cheat, I sometimes lose. the game is really fun but better if you have a few friends. Catching on fire is possible, but getting team fire is alot harder because the A.I. will always steal and shove the whole game which gets really annoying. Your created characeter can be a beast in the game. their are alot of heads you can choose from and NBA jersey's. My favorite head is the Basketball head and the Yetti Head. This game is a must if your a huge b-ball fan. #keepongaming
Seriously if you like strategy games and have not yet played Final Fantasy Tactics, you are missing one great game.
7672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My husband loves it. It's a game he use to play as a kid
6578 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When EA sports got the rights to WCW I guess they thought about how to do it, do they go with the way THQ did it, or the way ACCLIAM would? They seemed to be able to make a graphic that is in between both designs! It's kind of the THQ game play with WWF Attitudes graphics in a way. The graphics of the wrestlers and motion in this game look like Attitudes style only they look stupid, each character looks like a big head on a small body with skinnier legs, they look like they are going to start hopping around the ring like a rabbit or a kangaroo or something.
It has wonderful graphics, animation, sound, and music. These stunning combinations wrap you up in the game so that you feel like you are walking around in those dark tunnels and dungeons. When you are sneaking up on a guard, about to club him in the head, you feel an adrenaline rush as you pray that the guard will not hear your quiet footsteps. Like some other recent first person role playing games, "Thief" has been so richly designed that every square inch of each 3D environment has detail. The guard characters in the game are very amusing sometimes and the conversations that you overhear will occasionally make you chuckle.
4053 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half-life, is the best firstperson shooter since doom,
You wan't to have a fun looking console,
I gave up trying to play this game without cheats. It was too hard for me. So, on the start up bit that says PRESS START enter this code if you like.
6146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first got this game, I didn't know what to expect. After playing through the single-player campaign, I was blown away.
3556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own two Dreamcasts along with many of its games and since its release in 1999 this system still holds up against all the other modern video gaming console systems. In video gaming there are many intangibles or feelings you get about playing the system that make it an enjoyable experience. Sega Dreamcast was one of those console gaming systems that set a higher standard for all future video game consoles. It is unfortunate that Sega was "out-marketed" by Sony with its much hyped PS2 because I believe the Dreamcast system would still be a solid contender today if Sega had the financial strength of a mammoth company like Microsoft. Today the Dreamcast console is seen by many as simply one of the most recent casualties in the increasingly competitive video gaming world.
--Collect banana coins! Use them to save your game at Wrinkly Kong's house, to ask for secret gameplay hints from Cranky (which are VERY handy) and to warp to worlds that you've previously visited in Funky's Flights, or to compete in Swanky's minigames to earn extra lives.
That's my only complaint.
The original Spyro the Dragon is probably the best platform/adventure game you can find for the Playstation. I can't give Spyro's first adventure a 5-star rating, though. Let's get the problems out of the way before moving on to the positive things about Spyro (and believe me, there's a LOT of good things about this game).
Buy if,
4030 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games ever produced. It is practically responsible for the existence of the Steam gaming service and its parent company Valve. I give this game 5/5 stars and couldn't recommend it more highly, despite its dated graphics. No game collection is complete without all the Half-Life games, including all the Half-Life 2 games.
7848 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfectly fast shipping
531 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great to get into and back again never mind. So the level's are great you get to go Tibet, China, Venice and a sunken, ship. The background is not so good but it's ok. And you get small heath and large heath packs. These heath packs will be somewhere in the game keep a good eye out for them.
Manny works in the Department of Death, trying to work off his time for his misdeeds when he was alive. He does that by trying to sell 'travel packages' to the recently deceased, so they can make their four-year journey across the Land of the Dead, until they reach the portal leading to the Land of Eternal Rest. The quality of life this person lived determines whether they get to use a car, a luxury liner, or the exclusive No. 9 train, which speeds its passengers there in four minutes, instead of the customary four years.
As noted by other reviewers, the weapons are weak in how they're balanced(not in how they look or sound, which is stunning), with what actual results they have. There are only two types of ... in the single-player game, and there seems to be a direct relationship between ... used and damage done. Only the Borg require a special ...to deal with, so if any other enemy is coming at you, you could choose and use just about any ... to blast him--it doesn't matter if those 50 rounds come out of your phaser rifle or out of your torpedo launcher, you just have to spend those 50 somehow, and he goes down. You could conceivably get through all of the non-Borg areas of the game, about 80% of it, by using only your first two weapons. It would have been more fun to have enemies that were more or less resistant to certain weapons--so that you had to choose the right tool for the job, making the game a bit more sophisticated. As it is now, basically any tool will do.
3635 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sorry Tekken fans, good graphics, cool characters, but lacking personality. Yes, I know it's stupid to take off one star for personalities, but hey, I paid for this game!!! If you liked Tekken 2 without the personalities too, I recommend buying this with Tekken 2.
7084 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic n64 first person shooter.
Perfect 10
8207 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still play this game to this day. I played it as a kid, never beat it, but I played it so much with my friends and alone, and I pull it out to play every once in a while still. Mario has always been one of my favorite game series of all time. Opening up with arguably the most influencial game of all time: The Original Mario Brothers, then an average game by Mario standards of 2, Lost Levels only released in Japan, which is a great one by the way, and one of the most popular games of all time: Super Mario Brothers 3. World had a huge reputation to live up to, and it did, even exceeding expectations for a lot of people, including me.
...just get this game...now! Nuff said.
- Virtual Fighter 2
5765 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you love FF games or just any Rpg's this game is definetly for you. Every part of the game combined makes it one of the best video games (not just rpg or FF) of all times! This game is a spectacular one that you just want to play over and over again!!
The graphics are actually good (for it's time) and the gameplay is easy to get used to. The controls are also simple and the whole storyline is just well thought out and I can definitely tell that they put alot of time into this game. In my opinion it's the best Zelda game so far.
9068 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I LOVE Star Craft! I have it and the expansion on my PC but I also want it for N64. I'm extremely disappointed that it isn't being produced anymore. It should be brought back into stores so people without computers can get it for their 64 systems. If you can find a copy of SC64 Buy It! It has more missions than the PC version. It can be a draw back because you can see exactly what your opponent is doing because it's split screen. But if you really want StarCraft and you can't because you don't have a PC get this version if you can! It's great because it's StarCraft!
Gameplay: I have played through many games since my first experience with MGS 10 years ago (I've played through roughly 200 games throughout my lifetime. Yeah, I know, I'm a loser with no life), and this game still captivates me. If a game made a decade ago still manages to provide engaging gameplay after all these many years, that is a fantastic accomplishment. 10/10.
6339 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok the graphics are outdated but who cares when it is home to one of the best games ever made...Zelda 64! That's right and many other hits as well. I have to admit I mainly bought this system because of the Zelda games but behold there are other great hits as well! I don't know what they are, but who cares! Who cares when you have a master peice to keep you entertained for a fairly cheap price!
DY357 Magnum: Similar to the old Cougar Magnum from Goldeneye, but much better. It has great range and absolutely no scatter damage! It can even shoot through doors. A great all-around weapon.
When u played all the story's u unlock final story where chaos has all 7 emeralds and u must defeat him.
1019 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This mario kart changed all mario karts in the future. This is the first mario kart that has mini games and computer generated graphics. I mean the 64 as u can tell the graphics have changed allot from the snes. This mario kart has many more features and great graphics. The sound is great also. If i had a choice of which mario kart to have for free if i did not have any of them it would be this one. I don't know why but for some reason this one is really fun. It has a great multiplayer, especially on mini games.
5109 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've always loved the Might & Magic series and this one is no exception. I love first person, turn-based-party games. I have been dumb enough to periodically waste money on some of the various third person games out there like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, but I hate third person and cannot get into it at all. Might & Magic does not have that problem.
4268 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is no doubt in my mind that STARCRAFT was Blizzard's finest game to date. There are some that would say DIABLO 2, but in my humble opinion, DIABLO 2 just didn't have the replay value of STARCRAFT.
To continue this interacive movie/addition to life itself is yet another great soundtrack composed by gamemusic god Nobuo Uematsu (bigger than any other composer name). The music arranges from mysical to energetic, from simple to epic, and from peaceful to apacalyptic. "Aeris", "Cid", "The World", "Jenova" and "The One Winged Angel" (the last battle theme) are the best tracks in the game, and some of the finest tracks ever devised.
7523 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great
good graphics
2096 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This series is a great one to own. I only wish they'd put more out for the PS2. I heard that Myst: Uru was too "big" to put on the PS2. Whatever. They were probably too lazy. The last Myst game I played was Myst III:Exile. I'm not a big fan on playing PC based games. Especially after reading the hit and misses people were experiencing when trying to load Myst IV:Uru on their PCs.
9786 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great gate instant classic. Must have for PS1 or survival horror collecters.
First off Shadowrun is completely open ended. You pick what kind of runner you want to be (cybered up mercenary called a street samurai, mage for fire, or futuristic computer hacker) and you decide what jobs you will do. You're not even that limited by the character you pick. You can give your mage some cybernetic implants or build up your samurai's computer skills. I think you can even get both to start casting spells. The trick is as you gain experience in the game you only have so much resources to use in increasing your skills so technically it's best to pick one and roll with it. Personally I recommend being a Decker (futuristic hacker) as it gives you more levels of gameplay.
This game is worth as much as $36.95. I might have given it a few more dollars if it weren't for the annoying dialogue.
Final Fantasy VII puts you in the shoes of a young man by the name of Cloud Strife. Starting off, you're simply a mercenary hired by a resistance force called Avalanche, whom are fighting against the earth-dominating orginization, Shinra. Progressing through the story, however, you find it goes much deeper than that. Throughout his adventure, Cloud strives to find the link between him and his arch enemy (but once friend) Sephiroth, what Shinra is planning for the world, and struggles to find where his emotions lie in a deep love triangle between his long-time friend Tifa, and the kind-hearted flower girl, Aeris. Of course, along the game there are many other characters and sub-missions that lead to different stories, but either way this game promises to leave a lasting impression.
7283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, the price of this game has dropped from $49.95 to $39.95. When I first brought the game, I thought the graphics were great. On top of that, the game is very fun. There are 8 huge worlds and you have to get bananas with each of your 5 characters. After beating the 8 worlds and obtaining 200 bananas, you will then enter the final world. The sound effects is in surround sound and it sounds as good as the movies. the only minor problem with this game is that on some areas, the graphics seems to get smaller. Your view might be more of a top view. I think it should get a 4.5 but besides the little graphics problem it is a perfect game for the N64.
Music, another brilliant masterpiece by Square. Totally fits the game ambiance, from the lighthearted map tune to the more serious tones of the boss battles. Not as good as Vagrant Story's, though both games are done by the same composer, Tatics doesn't seem to have the same amount of time or heart put into it like Vagant Story does.
3332 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The yellow dot that eats lots of other, smaller dots debuts in his first 3D platforming adventure. The controls are nice and friendly, the visuals are pretty, and the gameplay is more than just a bunch of jumping and bopping enemies. The original Pac-man arcade game is included as well for posterity's sake. Original ideas and interesting uses of classic material from Pac's past are integrated in a nearly perfect meld of old and new in this title, which went on to inspire a Mario-esque series and spinoffs that lasted to the end of the following console generation. Great for the whole family. Runs on Playstation 1-3.
If you can overlook that though, not a big deal.
4776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is a reason hand-drawn sidescrollers are still being made: there is so much expression in these games that cannot yet be displayed in polygons, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is no exception. The characters and backgrounds are very well-drawn, the tunes set the tone well, the controls are top notch, the storyline is great, and the animation is perfect.
Story: You play as Solid Snake who's sent to Shadow Moses Island in Alaska to rescue DARPA Chief Donald Anderson and ArmsTech President Kenneth Baker as well as stop the terrorist's plans on launching a nuke. But that's just the start of it as we get FOXHOUND members, special elite soldiers who went rogue, a big beast of a machine and Snake's own connection to the leader of the group.
Good
3. Amazing art style (graphically). Lots of shiny J
5906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the kind of game that sets a new standard for innovation in gameplay. Thief has a great plot, and very original gameplay. You have to think like a thief in this game to have any chance of surviving. Your supply of weapons is definitely NOT for head on confrontations. There is something very satisfying about sneaking up on someone and simply knocking them over the head with your blackjack. Who would think that not splattering someone all over a wall(like every other FPS out there)would be so fun? But it is. The only real flaws of this game is the AI and some of the enemies that you have to face. First, the AI is fine most of the time, but can be very quirky at times, such as not noticing you when you are making enough noise to annoy a jackhammer operator or noticing you when you are silent and still in complete darkness. The other flaw is that in a few levels you have to deal with creatures that can see you in the dark and also can't be knocked out. This is annoying because the greatness of this game comes from sneaking around. This seems to be a common complaint and has been addressed in the sequel. Despite these flaws, this is one of the best overall games for the PC on the market today.
5658 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This time around, ID has taken a different approach in developing their latest installment of the Quake series. Quake 3 abandons the traditional find-the-key and navigate-the-maze format and adopts a strictly death match oriented style of play. That's right, there's no plot here...just a frantic and messy race to kill or be killed. While the graphics are stunning and the gameplay is solid for the most part, it doesn't feel like there's much strategy involved. I often found myself just scrambling around the arenas shooting everything and everyone in sight to stay alive, when I expected to be able to strategically place myself for an ambush, ect. In addition, some of the guns have unbalanced power. The gun you start with, an automatic machine gun, is extremely weak and is therefore useless against opponents in most cases. Unfortunately, Quake 3 was meant to be enjoyed online with other players, so the one player mode of the game gets stale after a while (the AI is cheap and the ending is a joke). Still, if you have a PC with a 3D card and love first person shooting games, Quake 3 is worth looking into.
1094 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best game on my n64 next to nightmare creatures, this game feels like final fantasy, with Kingdom hearts it was the best selling game on the n64. If you still have one you should pick this one up.
This game is old and past it's support period, but there are some "enthusiast" support sites located by search (free) which are of great help. This item should be readily available through "clearance" or "junk trays" at retailers or via mail. It should be available in the under $15 price range shipped free. Though its far from perfect, I heartily recommend it if you can find it at reasonable prices... BUY IT, ENJOY IT!
Overall the game runs like a well-oiled machine, never once locking up during my experience. There's a lot of entertainment to be had here, but it does get repetitious at times. Level layout is pretty basic, and event the "secret goals" found in certain levels aren't all that difficult to figure out. The music doesn't do too much for me, either. As far as original game boy games go though, Super Mario Land 2 should be in your collection, as it improves on just about every aspect of the original game.
Unlike the original Legend of Zelda, there is a prescribed order to proceed through the dungeons. However, this order is, at points, more of a suggestion. Often enough, there's nothing stopping you from going ahead to later dungeons if you can't best the final boss. The first time I played through this, I remember jumping ahead and beating the last dungeon to see if I could skip all those enemies that I couldn't beat. Hehe.. you still have to clear every level, even if you do that.
I have to admit druaga & phozon were never favorites when I was kid but there hoot to play now just seeing those out of date graphics, yep the graphic may be pathetic & game idea may seem simple but they are still challenging and a good reminder of what the good old days of video games were like.
3709 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game! Yet I hate the glitches on this game! lol Still, This is one of the best games one the PSX! Just make sure that you save often cause the game might freeze unexpectedly.
many people gave up.. i still remember hooking it up the next morning and skipping school to play the 3 games i bought launch night sonic adventure house of the dead 2 and soulcaliber. that was the best day of my young life.... i digress the system was well built and i was rough on it. i bought 40 or so games for it and i recently was cleaning my home to get ready for my second child and came across a box from my parents house that had my dreamcast all my games and many accessories. i gave it to my 4 year daughter and she loves it. (were a big game family) if you do buy a dreamcast they are built well so don't worry to much. in terms of memory the controller has a slot for a memory card called a VMU those come in several colors and are kinda cool.. also when buying on amazon check to make sure all the cables are included and the necessary
Combining an intense and intriguing story with (at that time) top-of-the-line graphics and a data-streaming technique that allowed the game to move seamlessly without noticeable loading times or the annoying interruption of transitional "Loading" screens between rooms or levels
9609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Tactics was released early on in the PlayStation's lifespan. While some dismissed it as too hard or too quirky, a lot of gamers found it challenging and a fresh change from more conventional RPGs.

Dr. Wily is at it again, and it's up to Dr. Light's finest creation, Megaman, to stop him! This time, the Blue Bomber will enlist the help of his friends Rush, Beat, Eddie and Auto in explosive action against enemies, and battle Bass and Treble, Dr. Wily's counterparts to Dr. Light's justice-keeping robots.
The multiplayer is a whole new ball game because you're going to have quite a few people trying to get you. The last time i played at nova world there were 900 people in there so you never have to wait for some action. You can play deathmatch where every man is for himself or team death match. Capture the flag is a blast. You really can never tire of this game!
6597 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Do not pay 80 dollars for this game. it will come out sometime in december for 20 dollars because square will rerelease it as a greatest hits game. final fantasy 5's story kinda suks, but the job system beats FF7's materia system or any other type in any final fantasy game i've played. haven't played all of ff 6 but it was pretty good. graphics not very good, except opening and closing CGI at opening and closing of each game. haven't seen end of 6 but others were cool. FF chronicles, vagrant story and xenogears will also come out for 20
2496 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I just have to say one thing first: There clearly are not enough buttons on the N64 controller to make a decent variety of moves. Instead, in this game, there are about nine moves, most of them useless because they do so little damage. This alone makes this game so incredibly boring after two hours that I have to wonder what the creators were thinking when they made this game. Even multiplayer mode loses its appeal pretty quickly, because of the limited amount of moves. There are also a few too many items, and it really makes it less fair that you can use a big baseball bat or a lightsaber or a beamgun to help you win. Also, considering that the gameplay wasn't good enough, the fighting environment takes a new approach at trying to add lots of detail and affecting play, but most of the battle grounds are far too plain for what it is trying to attempt. But I will say that the game has incredible graphics, each character and scene developed beautifully. I also like that in practice mode, you can change the speed of the characters movement so it seems like slow motion. You can make the characters go at normal speed, or one-fourth of it, making for a great amount of Matrix-like suspense. The two challenge rounds are also a challenge, maybe too great a challenge, especially with characters like Yoshi, who don't get a jumping boost, but an egg to throw. The bottom line is, this game is simply a rental, because that is about the amount of time it will take you to get sick of this game. If there were more buttons on the N64 controller, and the game had more play modes, this game could have been pulled off very nicely, but for now, it's just a short rental.
7884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Konami we all know is back. Remember all the good quality games we used to get from this company? Well, Konami is trying to get back into shape, and Suikoden, the year's best RPG, is a step in the right direction. The story is simple. You are the son of the General Teo, one of the emperor's most powerful generals. Immediately, your father leaves to fight a battle up north leaving a few of his trusted friends to watch over of you. Soon after, you come to realize that you and your father been serving on the wrong side. The Emperor and his generals' minds have been brainwashed. The result is unhappy subjects and an enslaved country. Knowing this you join the Liberation Army and when their heroic leader is assassinated by the baddies, you are chosen as leader. Your job now is to recruit thousands of men to join the Liberation Army and restore peace to the country.
I LOVE battling the 40 or so Metroid creatures! Each one of them basically serves as a boss fight (at least, that's how I treat them because of their relatively high challenge required to take them down).
7698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like any Legend of Zelda game, this is a very good game. It has tons of problem solving, challenging enemies, great story, secondary weapons, health upgrades, sword upgrades, a huge world to explore, and a ton of other things that make Link to the Past so awesome.
The characters are generally well-developed; while the three main characters get most of the development, each of the other characters, including the optional ones, get a few scenes with insight into their actions or their pasts. These characters also have reasons to be working together, rather than just thrown together haphazardly. The female characters are excellent, though Aeris is just a bit TOO perky.
With all the complaints aside, Breath of Fire 3 is fun game to play through. After playing through a monster game like Xenogears, it is refreshing to play. Unfortunately, don't get too excited about the ending.
Very good sound effects

6357 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nintendo 64 - the name strikes fear in some people who are thinking of buying a good quality system. Let me begin by saying that N64 is not bad at all... N64 has a much better processor because it has 64-bits of power (PSX only has 32), 3 times faster than PSX, 4MB ram but with Expansion Pack it goes up to 8MB of ram (PSX only has 2MB ram) and features a higher resolution than the PSX. This is how the N64 is more powerful than the PSX. This is not to say that PSX is a bad system. One downfall to N64 is that it runs on cartridges. The N64 cartridges may store a lot more than all the other cartridge-based systems but it holds less than a CD and DVD. It can hold a max of 500MB while the PSX can hold up to 700MB. This is the weakest point of the N64. However, with more system ram, it can improve the already good graphics and make a game longer. Another thing is that most PSX owners will say that N64 can't have FMV (Full motion videos) in the games. This is NOT ture. If you own Resident Evil 2, then you will know what I am talking about. The only problem is that the FMV is a little less clear. Since N64 runs on cartridges, it takes longer for developers to make. So there are only around 300 N64 games while there are around 600 PSX games. But with rare on Nintendo's side, who needs as many games. All in all, Nintendo 64 is the best system (besides GAMECUBE, PS2 and X-Box)... It beats PSX to the ground on everything except the Game format. If N64 were on CD's, PSX would have died a long time ago.
Finally, it should be mentioned that Luigi is not in this game (he would be snubbed again in Mario 64). However, it is interesting that when you to the area where the stars that hold people's wishes are, you can read their wishes (though their names aren't mentioned). You do find a star that says "I hope to be a great plumber like my brother Mario". This is actually I think the only time in a Mario game where it is mentioned that Mario is indeed a plumber.
1541 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How can you go wrong with the game that started it all? I love playing this and I love watching the animations from the characters that are STILL identical to the ones used on later Soul Calibur games! They didn't change some of them! Its pretty neat.
A great gift for people of all ages!
You can also use spells to hinder your skills. The spells are done with a D-Pad combination.

6537 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great games looking forever for these out in the open but i guess most people are holding on to them glad to get them brand new tho i know its taboo i opened them it felt great having brand new disc to play again its been awhile since i had a truly new ps1 game
8387 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game about 19 years ago and have loved it. It has to be one of the best Mario games, as well as one of the best RPG's on the SNES. the graphics are crisp and look great considering the aging hardware it was released on. The SNES was a great system, but by 1996 it was outdated and had the Nintendo 64 launch the same year. The game isn't as long as other RPG's like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 2 and 3. But it still gives you alot of content with some pretty good optional side quests. there is even a hidden boss that you could literally beat the entire game and never know was there. The Gameplay isn't too deep, but it isn't shallow either. if you have ever played a RPG in the last 20 something years then you'll have no problems getting into this game. It's a great ride from start to finish and after you've played it you'll wish a true sequel was made for it.
4960 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game its soooooooo good I play it all the time. Alot of the stuff in this is better then No Mercy that game is great to I love both of them but all the people and stuff is great I love this game BUY it!
The major strong point in this game is the gameplay. It is VERY addictive and VERY fun. The graphics aren't exactly what I'd call industry leading but hey they aren't supposed to be.
3446 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my teenage son's first game system. He remembers it very fondly and still had games for it. So, I decided to purchase this as a surprise gift for him. He was so excited to have one again, he broke out the games then and there and played all night long--recalling great memories from when he was younger.

Thanks to Pocket Monsters Red and Green,pokemon became huge. For a game that was made in 1996,it's still fun. However,there's more to talk about. After the first episode of Pocket Monsters came out in Japan,Ho-Ho,a second gen pokemon was seen flying in the sky near a rainbow. Most fans have beaten Red and Green,and that wasn't one of the 150 pokemon. Nintendo announced Pocket Monsters 2:Gold and Silver. They were suppose to come out later that year of 1997,but failed. It wasn't until 1999 when Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver hit stores. These games were different then originally planed. There was many different pokemon designs,and towns,and route designs,as well as different graphics. Nintendo failed with this,and only 100 new pokemon were made. However,it was made for a more advance system,the GBC. These games had color,shiny pokemon,genders,New gym leaders,bugs fixed,two new types,Speical split,eggs,and registrationing items. It was a hit,and in 2000,Pocket Monsters Crystal came out with the choice of beging a girl,battle Animations,bugs fixed,more storyline with Suicone,and even a even with Celebi!!!! A new Anime,called pokemon Johto Journeys came out the same year as Gold and Silver,1999. Pokemon The movie 2000 came out in Japan in 1999 with new pokemon. Another moive,called Mewtwo Strikes back came out in 1998. These moives were in theaters,both in Japan and the US. Pocket Monsters Puzzle Leauge came out for the Nintnedo GBC,around when Stadium G/S came out. It was alot like Tetris.
3190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1996 Namco released a game called Soul Blaade in North America (known as Soul Edge in Japan) and it was a game that focused on weapons based combat and centered on several characters going after a sword called Soul Edge. Either to destroy it or attain it for their own means. When Namco began talking about a sequel one of the first things they knew they wanted to incorporate was the use of the entire arena instead of just characters moving on one line. This eventually lead the creation of 8 way run. Where one could--literally--walk circles around their opponent. But was it right to simply call it Soul Blade 2? Project Soul thought not. Instead they called their new creative and innovative fighter: Soul Calibur.
9105 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My mom bought this for me for my birthday when I was turning 10. It comes with the only Donkey Kong 64 which is probably the biggest platform game of Nintendo 64. It has great graphics and the music matches each world perfectly. I love how you have to use each of the 5 characters to beat the level instead of just picking your favorite. Each character brings different strengths to the table and have different weapons, moves, and instruments. The boss battles are clever and creative and the final battle against King K. Rool is one of the best in all of video games.
8828 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Donkey Kong Country series was the reason I purchased a Super Nintendo. Simply put, Donkey Kong Country 2 is a classic that no fan of old school platformers should be without!
8520 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game.
But still..........this was one of the first 3D platformers out there and they did a superb job at bringing the Star Wars universe to life in 3D.
You can call me a square fanboy if you want but the truth is I'm an rpg lover. Yes, I have played almost all the final fantasy rpg's out there. I have also played the incredible Lunar games, Grandia games, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Legend of Legaia, Legend of Dragoon and the list goes on and on to more recent titles on the ps2 and 360. The truth is that none of those rpg's shook the foundation of the entire gaming world and turned it completely upside down. Even people who hate rpg's hate this game the most out of all the rpg's out there because its the one they had to hear about the most!
Buy this game and Loopy Landscapes. Play it with your kids, then pack them off and play it alone. Play it on your laptop on the plane and demand they come up with a PocketPC version.
Yes. The first game that almost everyone thinks of is Final Fight, even more than the original Streets of Rage. A lot of us played Final Fight in the arcades or on your Super Nintendo. You will find, though difficult, Streets of Rage 2 is a lot less difficult than Final Fight was. However, you will also find that by changing the difficulty to harder settings, this is not always the case. :)
Please note that the aforemetioned warning isn't THAT graphic, just enough to not be suitable for an 8 year old.
Overall:(Not an average) 9.6/10
9013 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Monster Rancher is brilliant for kids of 5 or adults of 50! It addictive and fun. Basicly, you get a PS/PC game, DVD or music CD and put it in your playstation and out comes a monster. Some are cute, some are nasty but all these little creatures have a mission in life. To win tournaments. You can feed them, train them, play with them, give them things, rest them, enter them into tournamentsand there are many twists turns and surprises in store as well. You will find yourself beginning to get attached to the little things but don't forget that they are mortal. The graphics are pretty good and this last a good few months at least. BUY IT NOW ALONG WITH FF8 AND MGS
8490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game is an amazing follow-up to the iconic Donkey Kong Country. Game play and graphics is top notch. The other great feature is that it accepts game saves.
Beware the Spinning Logs
In the end is a Dreamcast worth getting in this day and age.. Yes.. Yes Yes... hands down.. if your a hardcore gamer it is a must.. You will get to see some of the most innovative games of their time.. that still hold up today.. You will get Graphics that is simply jaw dropping.. and controls.. that feel natural ... the only downside is.. prepare to either delete a lot of games.. or get a lot of VMU's because you will need them.. and online play.. may be a hastle.. but still.. once you get past that.. this system is must own.
8206 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This one of the best Mega Man X games capcom has ever made. The anime cut scenes look great, and the story is amazing as you play as Zero you learn his a lot about his past in this one. This is a definte must have for Mega Man fans and if you play this for the first time you will be a Mega Man fan. Man oh man I love this game so much!!!
2293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game
9288 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I didn't to see a lot of these guys when I was younger, but I did have the videogame. Back then it was the first time I'd ever seen something so crazy as two teenagers trying to get pictures of themselves doing stupid things they thought were "cool" in order to get into a GWAR Concert. Which is the premise, of course.
5850 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have to say this is my favorite game. The graphics are terrific, the music isn't annoying, the cutscene animations are marvelous, and i haven't stayed up till 4 in the morning to play a game since i can remember. The accomplishment you feel when you complete a pyramid is quite remarkable. The game is so much fun and has so many great features you could play the game for weeks straight and still not get bored.
*Soul Calibur- simply a masterpiece, this game wowed gamers in 1999 and still looks and plays quite well by modern standards. It's also available on XBLA, but that version is missing the mission/ challenge mode.
Cons:
Incredible story lines.
9506 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this game growinhgup when I was inbetween the age of 5 and 13 I rented this for about a week. I only got to the Pirahnha Plnat boss. I though along with Super Metrioid in was on of the harder Super Nintendo games to master. If you were a novice at mario like I was. Here are boss statics and startegies froma speed run on you tube recently posted. This was done use tool assitance like slowly the game speed down and like saving possibly more frequentylu than normal. The real game may take you longer or more than about 103 minutes or less to complete excluding the credits. But here are some startegties for most of the boss battles. I may have left out one battle before baby Boswer when you might have to fight the evil Kopa Magican that kidnapped bady Lugi and appears in ever boss stage making the enemies bigger most of the time. IF you don't want this assitance than close the website and find out on your own I only have about 9 minutes until my class. Yoshi Island Sattics. first boss enlarge has 1/6 damage resitance against egg shot attaacks.

4080 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half-Life seems to have been around forever, but it's still as popular as it was when it first graced us with a frenzy of action. Nothing against Quake, Doom, and Duke, but Valve really upped the ante for FPS games.
So, all in all Crus n' USA is a pretty enjoyable game. Buy and enjoy.
7256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect dark is , well, perfect! The graphics are some of the best I've seen on the N64. And with 44 different guns (coun't em'!), it's no wonder how it came to be on top ( or, at least close). And if each gun has a second ability, you could tally the guns at 88, since each gun has two modes. I love the simulents and how, with them, you can do one-player single-player, and I've never really been able to do that (I used to have to plug in the second player controller and beat somebody just standing there, not a actul person). This is a great game. So stop looking at your computer screen, and BUY IT!
Overall:(Not an average) 8.5/10
7505 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is good. Good things. The fun facter is wonderful. It has a ton of complex features and planning. The story line is wonderful. You get to nearly completely custimize your entire team. They have special classes and skills. Your missions are very different and unique. There are unlimited ways to complete your mission adding a strong point to the replay value. The story is well told and interesting. They are in real world locations. You've A arsenal of weapons and gadgets and body armer to custimize your men and women with. The game game is very realistic. If one of the men dies in a mission you can't use him in another mission he is dead. If a person is incapicated in battle you cannot use this operative in another mission for a certain amount of missions till he or she heals. Also you can be wounded this happends eather if you are wounded in battle or you were incapicitated and know you are nearly healed. When you are wounded you can go into battle but have loss to your skills. Types of soilders are Assault Recon Demolitions Electronics Sniper they have skills fitting their type. tYpes of missions include preventing a nuclear meltdown recon planting explosives capturing an enemy leader rescuing hostages nuetrilizing a group of terrorists and busting a arms deal prevent terrorists from escaping from a bust. You and your teamates have a realistic amount of health excluding bodyarmer you have as much health as the badguys. You can custimize down to the bullet you use in planning. Nuetrel things. The enemy AI isn't that good. Enemies aren't very smart they don't really pay attention to their surronding killing them is easy. They will run from a grenade and set off a alarm but they could just be standin around not awear of anything until he sees you. So if you are behind him or near him in a position where if he just looked around he'll see you but he dosen'tlook around. This dosen't count for patroling enemies. When an enemy sees you he just walk towards you firing not ducking or hiding behind a wall. If you capture a enemy captain which you have to do in a mission he'll sound just like a hostage you are rescuing. Acting like they were rescued as prisoners not being captured as a prisoner. Bad things. Your team AI sucks they will will just stand there cluelessly unless you tell them to do something or you make them have a plan which they will follow like rbots only shooting enemy and doing what they are told. They basicly don't think for themselfs. You can shoot at one he'll stand there doing nothing and your other teammates won't even notice that their coleege is getting killed. Also it is loadeed with bugs and graphicel gliches enemy's go through walls. You get cought in graphics allot. Voices and music slur crackel. Enemies sometime float around or the body's are lieing firmly in mid air. I'm giving it 4 stars because even though it has some problems it is a really good game any realistic anterrorism shooting game fan would like it.
Torment is by far the best game I have ever played. To describe it properly, however, is impossible. It's a game that's almost like a book. There is a lot of text. There are only three required fights in the entire game, if I recall correctly. But I'll be damned if I've never enjoyed reading and playing a video game more than I did with Torment. All of the characters have well-developed backstories that you get to see piece by piece as the game goes on. There is plenty of lore for people who love knowing about the world they're playing in (you get an illustration and a nice description of EVERY SINGLE UNIT you encounter in the game). The towns in the game are ALIVE. The sounds make you really feel like the NPCs in the game are actually doing things other than standing around and moving occasionally. The environments are detailed and done extremely well -- every zone is unique. You don't feel like you're in the same place ever.
7620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a great game. You sould own this. I beaten it so many times that I keep play it over and over again. The game is cool You get to use a gun and some stuff with the gun they will, be around somewhere.
It's funny cause since I knew this game was coming in the mail, last night I was playing Pokemon Blue with my headphones on, while playing pushing a boulder thru a hole in floor on Victory Road (on the bicycle) the bike music was still playing, and went back on the bike and pushed the Boulder and it was a random pokemon cry that sounded very funny (bugged out for a second lol) but I searched online and it's a glitch in victory road
8825 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 No matter how good you are at this game, nothing can prepare you for the lame cheap fest your in for. I beat this game countless times but it never stops pissing me off that the enemies are so cheap, the game is so unfair and how they use the screen layout to their advantage. Half the time no matter what you do you can't move because your getting gang raped and your sword magically goes through enemies running past you preparing for the gang rape, then your screwed. I love games that are challenging, but not insanely hard just because of crippled controls and cheapness. Fun for a little while, but the cheapness is too much.
The multi-player makes up the lack of single player 'enjoyment' I think. Not just for playing on-line but for playing against the computer or even with the computer in team games. The customisation option is great, you can even change the amount your man gets pushed back when shot, and the speed you can run and the speed at which ammo is re created. There are in the region of 10 multi-player maps and are all worth playing.
But then I figured out all the controls, and once I figured out what I was doing, I loved it.
The graphics can be very beautiful the first hundred times that you summon them but after a while they can get exasperating of seeing them do the same thing over and over again. Now on to the videos, each video is really greatly detailed. The characters and the surroundings are spectacular, they have mouths in the videos, they actually move to the words but you don't hear them unfortunately. You can tell they tried not to get too detailed with the characters so they wouldn't look nothing like they do in the game, but they basically paint the picture for what they would look like if the game had better graphics. The Limit breaks as I mentioned earlier have really sole graphics for each one of them. The limits seem to actually fit the characters look, such as cloud he will use his sword and completely ruin everything around him. Barret will use his "handgun", to blow away the enemies with ammunition. Each character has graphics to go with them and fit their attitude, and Square really did a good job emphasizing on their details. With ever bit of effort they put into the graphics they really deserve all of the love from everyone.
It is longer than FFVII, it will probably take you at least 60 hours to complete this, and thats ignoring the many distractions on offer. The best sub-plot/game is definetely Triple Triad the card game, which is genious. I wasted at least 10 hours on this alone, and on my second time playing through the game, i completed the collection, which was hard work but very satisfying if you have the time. Everything about this game is class, the locations, the characters, the new junctioning system, everything! I have heard a few people say the junctioning system is too complicated, but it isn't really. It can seem like overload at first, but once you have the hang of it, it works really well. There are also secret bosses, like in all FF's, I defeated both Ultima and Omega Weapons (after a very drawn out battle). There is so much to see and do here, like most of the games in the series it is a masterpiece, very highly recommended.
The answer, naturally, would be even better. Mario comes packed with a large batch of sayings including "Mama mia!", "Here we go!" and "Press start to play!" Unfortunately, everything else (other than Peach and Bowser) don't talk in anything else other than words. But remember the fact that this is a first generation cartridge game, and if people complain for Zelda, then they shouldn't complain here.
The CONS: you still see "pop up" scenery in the game and once again, it's very easy for your competition to catch up to you AKA "rubber band A.I.", unlocking some of the cars can be quite challenging and this game works if you play in small chunks.
Game play, however, is second to none in the RTS arena. All three of the races are exceptionally well balanced between each other, though the humans are by far the most versatile and solid. The Zerg regenerate damage and can be `built' quickly, but aren't as tough as the humans so they make up for it in greater numbers. The Protoss are the toughest of the three races, but their units also take the longest to build and cannot be repaired if damaged. And one of the more fun aspects of Broodwar is using Prostoss Dark Templars to mind control enemy units, such as the Terran SCV or Zerg Gatherer, with it you can then build and control all of the Terran or Zerg units as well.
you can't just press buttons and expect to beat the came, it's much more than that and takes skill, patience, quick hand-eye coordination and sometimes split-second timing just to perform some of the most basic moves

Overall, I love this game, and would reccomend it to any 007 fan.
969 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quality
Do I have any gripes about the game? Just one thing...the ending. The ending is kind of sudden and, as another reviewer stated elsewhere, it just ends. Not quite like Legacy of Kain:Soul Reaver did back in the day, though...nothing like that. The way it ends leaves you wanting more. Maybe it was intended to be that way...you think?
1. Some locations are too dark and murky. I suggest that for the very dark places, you might want to adjust the brightness/contrast on your monitor to make it easier to locate the hidden goodies.
I'll bet my bottom dollar that the concept and execution of this game partially inspired The Matrix. When you think about it, they do have a lot in common. But CZ is undeniably 90s in its production design and style. The game doesn't last for very long but it's very challenging. The most annoying thing about it is the fact that you only get one life for the entire game and when you hit enemies it diminishes your energy bar. Not very fair.
You start off playing Cloud (or whatever you decide to name him) and are an ex-soldier now fighting for a group called Avalanche who want to shut down a company called Shinra because they're using Mako energy to power the city. Mako energy is the life energy of every living thing on the planet and once its used up the planet will die. From there you're quickly plunged into a story about love, betrayal, duty, and saving the world.
Chances are you have tried online gaming, but if you haven't, you don't know what you are missing. Another human being makes a game intense, especially in a FPS like Quake 3 or Half-Life. Right now, only the Dreamcast is online. Join the Sega. Net ISP for 18 months and you'll get the Dreamcast for free. Again, most Amazon shoppers probably aren't new to the internet, but if you are shopping for a family who is without a computer or internet connection, the Dreamcast is the cheapest, easiest way to get them online, surfing 'n emailin'.

7402 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the is the very 1st in The Legacy of Kain the is an epic must own in order to understand the story of how Kain even became a Vampire so if you own this game enjoy it.
7273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong, is one of the greatest gaming characters every to grace the face of the Earth and when I got this game I was not disappointed for a minute. The minute I began playing the game, I knew that Donkey Kong truly did belong in his place on the Nintendo 64. When I first bought the game I was cautious about the game as it seemed like another recycled game brought back from the dead simply to make money. When I played for a few minutes, I quickly ate my words. The game is great and fun to play with six different "Kongs" to play as, each with their own individual style in all forms of gameplay, but this just adds to the variety of fun the game truly offers. The graphics are great calling upon the expansion pak in order to show this game in all of its graphical glory. The game was designed perfectly with fun totally in mind and it pays off incredibly, this is one of the game that makes you want to keep your Nintendo 64 up and blazing despite the new systems out there. Buy this game and you will not regret giving Donkey Kong a home on your N64.
The only downfall is there is no way to get unlimited heat seeker rockets, so you have to turn on your unlimited lives cheat and keep commiting suicide to get more of those rockets to win within the selected times to get the gold medal to become a Jedi. And there is no nice video's to watch when you finally clock the game. It just shows a quick shot of the ships flying away and then the credits roll... it would be nice to have had a video type of thing like all through the game.
Forgetable storyline. There's no reason to wonder what will happen next. It will just mean fighting another monster(s).
6877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is action-filled and fun filled. Simple to play, yet you can't put the controller down! I loved this game! GREAT Disney game. Check it out!
9806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have any kind of Playstation that can play the old games and are a true zombie fan, then you must play this game.
6764 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many movie-based games frankly..are horrible. They're churned out by companies looking to make the dead line of the release of the movie, or shortly before. This game, however, features nice character design and movement. Stunning backgrounds, and hours of fun game play. Gotta luv it!
The game's main stand is it's unbelievable gameplay. Playing this game almost makes you feel like you are literally in the war. It's main idea is to re-live WWII all over again, you are a US Soldier who is the best in his class who was hired by an agency and is out to carry missions. On your missions you will encounter German Nazis that need a little lesson, teach them one and keep going. Every stage has at least 3 or more missions to be completed and on some you will need to use your noodle a little. Since this title's main focus is the realism, EA has decided to include an array of weapons. Everything from a regular handgun to a shotgun and even to a rocket launcher. Besides having tons of weapons to choose from you also can take control over an enemy's machine gun. You may notice these powerful machine guns in almost every stage implanted into the ground. You can take over them by pressing Square and shot the enemies.
2759 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The hit 1990s game "Myst" set off the immensely popular "Myst" series, as well as "Myst" spin-off computer games. The game is fantasy-based, puzzle game, incorporating unique locations and mechanical motifs. While a bit outdated in some ways, the game is intriguing and fun and well worth buying.
Nice Game Fun - Easy to Play - Overall Rating 3.9 Stars.
place to relax as well.
It wasn't in the best condition. The cardboard box was in fine shape, but the instruction booklet was all screwed up. Looked like a dog went crazy on it. All the pages in the booklet were there, the print was certainly readable, I could turn the pages okay, but certain pages were crinkled. In fact the front page of the instruction booklet was so crinkled it was as soft as toilet paper! The price of the game was reasonable, and the game cartridge was in pretty good condition. So I asked my dad's friends for the Zelda game and they bought it for me.
This is one of the best real-time strategy games available and its multiplayer scenarios will keep you coming back again and again.
1196 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Got here faster than I expected. Works great, that nostalgia kicked in and its just so wonderful. Not sure if it was noted before that there was a slight crack in the case. But nonetheless, awesome.
101 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 works great
This time it's a woman not a man it's always a man now it's a woman doing a man's job. Every game I play was good but this is better that's my word, how about your's?
This is an original Playstation title, so it will play on your PS3 (where it's also available as a download from the PSN) and your PS2. You will only be able to save it on the PS2 if you have a PS1 memory card. I don't own a PS3, so I can't vouch for its saving capability.
Nintendo Power or other Video Gaming mags to get through the game. Everything about ALTTP, is perfect,
Story\Originality: 8
* The Super Mario series
Lastly, and most entertainingly, the bosses in this game are amazing. Unlike earlier side scrollers where the game progressed through 'levels', in Symphony of the Night you simply roam around an enormous, maze-like castle. You never know when suddenly a steel grate will drop behind you and you'll find yourself trapped in a fight with, oh, a grotesque giant mummy suspended on steel hooks that takes up 6 screens worth of animation. That's just the sort of thing that's worth the price of admission.
In our house, we have a thing called computer night about once a month. On a Friday night, my husband, father-in-law, and 2 other males from church get together and hook up all their computers to a lan. This is the game that they spend hours playing. It usually starts at around 7 or 8, and the house is not returned to it's normal state until roughly 4am.
The game is also quite replayable, by choosing different playing styles for yourself. Some players choose to play by not killing or knocking anyone out at all, except when a mission requires it, which is rarely. Though I myself have not yet played through the game this way, I can see the challenge and fun it would present.
Colorful.
12 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not quite finished with the game's DiRT Tour mode, but I believe I've experienced the bulk of what the game has to offer. And I'm happy to say that the game is indeed awesome. Great cars, great tracks and racing modes, excellent gameplay and graphics. The highlight has been racing in the snow on various tracks in Aspen. There are also some really cool obstacle courses on pavement, which are new to the series.
in Dracula X Cronicles (not to be confused with Dracula X) along with the original Rondo of Blood and Rondo of Blood The Lost Chapter (never released outside of Japan). I will buy it for PSP just to get SOTN and others should as well because if Dracula X Cronicles Sells well they may just make some new side-scrolling Castlevania games for the next gen consoles and I don't think I even need to illustrate how insanely sweet that could be.
1973 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. Fast shipping.
If there is something that Turok has that newer FPS games don't have is novelty. It reeks old school FPS given that you fight dinosaurs and use large bulky Sci-Fi weapons that turn enemies to mulch. You battle bosses like a large insect that spits acid and T-Rex. I kind of miss this. FPS games that didn't take themselves too seriously. When you fought dinosaurs and super soldiers instead of endlessly re-spawning Russians. When you carried an armory on your back and not just two guns. Health bars and the like. While the story (if it even has one) may be stupid, is it any dumber than a scenario when the US is invaded by all of South America for no apparent reason?
I haven't played the original MechCommander (non-Gold) game. Apparently, complaints were aimed mostly at the interface and the fact that it was too hard, and there were no artillery strikes. As artillery strikes are my favorite single aspect of the game, I would recommend that you avoid the original and only get MechCommander Gold, but be warned: This is a hard game! Winnable, but hard. One reason is that there is no in-game saveability. Like the original Rainbow Six game, you play through from one scenario to the next with no way to save mid-game. However, there are some strategic tools you can use that most games don't afford. One is pausing the game. You can view different parts of the map, issue commands to 'Mechs and even send artillery strikes, all while the game is paused. You'll need to use this. Another strategic ace is the refit truck. If you have a refit truck available and it's a hard level, you'll do fine. The ability to restore damaged 'Mechs in-game with a refit truck is as close to cheating as you can get.
The only problem I had with this game, and it really isn't a problem with the game itself, is that it really made me shake my head at Code: Veronica X. It almost seems as if Capcom had taken a huge step backward in their videogame-making abilities. Heck, even the first Resident Evil is better than REC:VX. For example, in the first one, the hunters had narrow, sharp, reptilian eyes, rows of razor-sharp teeth that protruded from their mouths, and they looked pretty scary, but in Code: Veronica, they didn't have such teeth (it almost looked like they didn't have any at all), and they also had small, beady eyes, making them more of a joke than an intimidating enemy.
First off, the plot is flawless. Hands down the most intricate, well thought out, and moving plot I've seen in any thriller movie ever made.
But all these are minor flaws in an otherwise great game. When you play it you will see how they took full advantage of the Nintendo 64's abilities. It is not for everybody, and will definitely frustrate some, but it is worth every bit of effort.
The setting takes place in the Northern Kremisphere which is fairly less tropical than the first two games settings. Despite those games having snow and ice levels at higher altitudes, this game starts in a temperate wooded region. The first level which takes place on a long pier is my favorite in the game, not because it's easily beaten but because the colors and the backdrop are absolutely gorgeous and I prefer most levels to have a wide open feel. There are more levels later in the game that replicate the first levels scenery as well. Overall the game has a temperate country feel throughout mixed with an industrial theme later on. I disagree with their choice of this setting and I think the game would have been better off if it included initial tropical stages with the temperate zones appearing in succession.
Nice soundtrack
3) This is the only PlanceScape AD&D game available for the computer.
Who needs multiplayer? This game rocks, and I have never met a person who hasn't thought thought this game to soar beyond other flight sims. The only others to come close are the good old Lucas games, Battle of Britan and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.
8889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 even tho i got the beat up lookin game pak it still works good as new never froze on me and i liked it it was pretty fun too bad i sold it lol i didn't have the urge to play old school games but i bet later on in a few years i will go back to the old times haha
1258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 been wanting to get this my sons love all the grand theft games thanks for having it
- Game has built in quest mode, where you pick a fighter and complete a number of challenges, the end result is you unlock more content and are a better player
6240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another great game. This one installs fine under Win 7 32-bit. I had no problems getting it to install. It also runs OK to. I had to adjust the resolutions a bit to fine the one that worked best with my monitor graphic card set up but this was no problem and was easily taken care of. Although a standard RPG game, this one has a bit of an attitude on it, but this only makes the game more fun. I found it sort of fun to "set up" a character that really looks as if he's been drug through a pit full of razor blades to start the game with. At first, I thought that I had made a mistake somewhere while setting up the game and then it dawned on me this was how he was suppose to look. I started laughing as this was a lot of fun. Overall a very good game.
A game has never been simpler to learn than Intelligent Qube. Each level has several rows. Then the cubes begin to "march" forward. The entire point of the game is to capture cubes. You simply press X to lay down a trap and then X again to capture it. There are a couple of complexities to the gameplay that make it quite a challenge. For one, while your goal is to capture cubes, there are certain cubes that you shouldn't capture. These are forbidden cubes, and the penalty for capturing one is losing a row of the level you're on. There are also green cubes called advantage cubes. Capturing these allows you to set a trap that will capture all the surrounding cubes. At first, Intelligent Qube seems easy, but the game is much more complex than you think. As the game progresses, the cubes march forward and there are more rows of cubes to deal with. Just the same, the placement of the marching cubes is completely random.
6229 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Buy this game and see why Computer Gaming World ranked it as the best RPG of 1999. Be warned, it's extremely text-heavy, so plan on lots of reading! But don't let that deture you from a GREAT computer story with well drawn out and interesting characters and quests.
This is a game that I would absolutely recommend to anyone, and if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.
5288 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Harvest Moon 64 is definitely one of the top games you can buy for the N64! I was raised on the N64 and had recently decided to add more fun games to my collection that I hadnt bought growing up. Youtube videos led me to this and I LOVE IT! I cant believe I didn't have this as a kid (I'm 22) I feel like I've missed out! It is a bit pricey, but I'm so glad I bought it. If you can find this for a decent price get it!
Star Wars Episode 1 Battle for Naboo
9916 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 a fun game that is imaginitively created. Along with great graphics(for the time it came out) you would have a fun and entertaining game that is worth playing over and over again.
The additional characters was a pleasant treat but the addition of multi-level skills was just perfect for the RPG feel you are looking for in this style of game. The combat is real time and with the feature of being able to add select skills to function keys (F1, F2, etc.) made using magic practical.
9852 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though all Duke Nukem games are pretty much the same, he never gets old. Duke Nukem makes anything and everything look good.
5974 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The story of the Lord of Terror continues with 5 new player classes, amazing spells and effects, an incredible musical score, and very addictive gameplay.
A must buy Gem to keep forever for those who love these games and want to play them on the PSX. The playstation controller is great with PAC-MAN games as well as other games from all the namco Museum collection.
Second: this pack also includes some quite impressive scenarios. To be honest, I was surprised at the Viking scenario, it was truly different from the standard Civ2 game.
8259 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was Capcom's first Mega Man X game. For the most part they pulled it off nicely. Though you began the game normal you had to find four capsules, each one with an upgrade for your body. The leg part would let you dash short distances and jump further. The helmet part allowed you to break certain surfaces with your head. The body part allowed you to withstand twice as much damage. And the arm part let you charge your blaster to a fourth level of damage. Also, you begin this game with a very small life meter. You must find the heart tanks (one is in each of the eight stages) to make it larger. Instead of energy tanks, you now have sub tanks (which you must fill yourself (with surplus energy.)) Also, completing certain stages will alter others. If you beat Chill Penguin's stage, Flame Mammoth's fire factory will have frozen over. If you beat Storm Eagle's stage, the wreckage of his flying machine will destroy the electricity generation in Spark Mandrill's stage. If you beat Launch Octopus, the underground of Sting Chameleon's stage will flood. Being a totally new series, this takes place approximately 100 years after the most recent game in the classic Mega Man series.
9924 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an oldie but a goodie. I also grew up with this game so I repurchased it when I was finally able to find it. Graphics are deplorable (by today's standards) but this game is fun and still a little challenging but like all other games of its time you just have to memorize the pattern.
9244 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love any donkey kong games
7196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best game that anyone could play on any console and I swear it is! The graphics, sound, controls, weapons, and multiplayer all [...] by a long shot. People who say that this game [...] don't know the meaning of a good game. What I have described above is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth to help you gamers!
- you have to start your note count every time you re-enter a world
The programmers could have saved the gaming community the misery and not released this albatross at all. Heck, I probably would have paid them the 5 bucks I bought it for not to put it on the market and it would have been a win-win for everyone.

2662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Street fighter alpha 3 might be the best street fighter out there to date. It has awesome game modes cool levels and best of all its the never ending fun of a 2d fighter. The graphics are what you would expect froma 3d fighter a little choppy and an occasional glitch or two or maybe an occasional mergence of fighters but all in all its one of my favorite game out there. Ihave been an avis street fighter fan all the way back to the SNES version of street fighter 2 turbo! i would encourage anybody to get street fighter alpha 3 because its fun and hey its down to 20 bucks now!
There are so many fun things to do...like when you buy the Zora flippers and you can swim all over the place, collecting heart pieces, upgrading bombs and arrows (quite expensive!). The colors are vibrant, and the music is excellent.
Players will be kept hooked until the finale as Meteor crashes down upon earth. The only real turn-off to those who haven't played it yet is the graphics, but think of this; Final Fantasy VII was made in 1997, so the beauty of VIII and IX were but a dream.
In the process, kids learn to manuever through mazes of increasing complexity (which is why the manuals are a help), to gather and use items, and to develop strategies for fighting various types of Pokemon. My five year-old even started to read while using her Gameboy, from needing to know which items she had with her (in her Item List)!
I still give it 5 stars because those problems are not really that significant in the long run. The combo system is wonderful, and anyone who is looking for a good fighting game on the N64 console should pick this one up. With the price that it is at now, it is very affordable too. I highly recommend it.
I've had this game for the longest time, but I still enjoy it. I know a lot of the newer games are really expensive, and if you don't have a lot of cash to purchase them, give this one a try. It can provide you with hours, I mean HOURS of a unique gaming experience. It's a highly customizable, turn based strategy game with an engaging storyline. It is very easy to learn how to play, and it will last. Definately try this game or play it if you are given a chance. I highly recommend it. It is one of my personal favorites.
I have never been more pleased with a video game console than with the Sega Dreamcast. Great games, Great power, great graphics and great features. What more could you want? Log onto E-Bay or here at Amazon to see if you can buy this awesome gaming machine today!
Sadly, illogical puzzles plague the remaining games in the series (especially III and IV). I'd stick with the original, the best, Tomb Raider!
The physics in this game are spot on.
Einhander's visuals are beyond reproach. The backgrounds are vibrant and detailed without being garish or distracting, especially stage five. Ship designs are cool all around, and every enemy, from the mightiest boss to the lowliest peon, goes out in a blaze of glory when you destroy it, instead of merely blinking out of existence or disappearing in a bland red puff.
1970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An awesome Star Fox game.
Good but it has aged badly.
Likewise, the central characters in and around your party are much more relatable and varied than those in VII. Where Cloud, Tifa and Aerith, the previous leads, were generally one-dimensional and cartoony, spitting incredible dialog despite their shortcomings, VIII's characters each have elaborate personalities, perks, downfalls and tendencies. Though he's initially far less charismatic and appealing than Cloud, his immediate predecessor, Squall is a tremendously complex, well-rounded lead character with an established psychological excuse for his aggrivatingly anti-social nature. The villains are similarly developed, with an equal amount of redeemable qualities tossed in to keep their more prominent negative characteristics in check. You're never faced with a simple, black and white boss fight, as you were in previous chapters... there's always something about the person you're battling that you can relate to. You form such an incredible bond to the characters in your party that the final cinema is a truly emotional experience, one of the most rewarding and worthwhile conclusions I've ever experienced in gaming.
3891 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 You get some cheats with some games. BIG deal. This is nothing compared with how bad it is. This erased files in three of my games including Zelda. This also erased some of my friends games. Please do not buy this!!!
1796 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works well thank you!
I've played endlessly on the Capture the Flag - Facing Worlds map, and it still hasn't gotten old. New and interesting things happen each time I play. For each kind of bot-team, you need to fight with a different strategy.
In summary, the Millionaire computer game has its (brief) moments, but simply isn't worth even the low price Disney is asking for it. It's unfortunate that Disney and Jellyvision chose to put their names--and the show's reputation--on such a disappointing effort.
Let's look at what we've got. The game lets you start easy by pitting you against 2 weak enemies. One sword strike will kill them, or you can throw lightning. I think they even give you some inventory items. You can safely see how the combat works. You get to name Cloud and Barrett anything you want. This makes the game personal, but I don't know anyone who did that. It's irrelevant because the bastard is still going to have his existential crisis and behave in ways that you might not choose.
Graphics: Awesome enhanced 16-bit graphics for 1997, on par with SOTN
Unfortunately, the soundtrack is no longer commercially available for purchase.
My final verdict despite this review being short is that this game is one of my must buys. And with a optional multiplayer gaming option, you can battle your wits against other people around the world making the game the ultimate challenge. You'll be at it for some time...no BS.
So when I read several reviews saying this is the best RPG for PS or anything like that, I just couldn't agree with what they were saying, of course, everyone has right to their own opinion, but in my humble opinion, I just didn't feel it. It seemed to me that I'm more attracted to the games with more stronger theme, like Xenogear, and Lunar falls into mild-themed game, which is, of course, enjoyable.
7261 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you are going back to collect intendo games or even play them for a little nostalgia pick this up if you have a few extra bucks
OVERALL RATING: 1/10
285 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It came on time in great shape!! It is so new! Looks better then I tought it would!! LOL! I can not wait to try it out!!
What do you get when you have millions of trekkies or trekkers wanting to play Star Trek on a broad level but don't want to be restricted to one race? You get the latest game to hit the compters, Star Trek Armada. Now you can control multiple starships ranging from Federation, Klingon, Romulan and our favorite, the Borg.
In the battle menu you're given a list of commands. Fight, Item, PKMN, or Run. You can switch Pokemon you've caught in and out of battle on the fly, but it'll usually cost you a turn. It's the strategic portion of Pokemon that makes battling fun and addictive. As you go through the game you'll be challenged by trainers and you never know what they'll throw at you! It's completely unpredictable and some of them are tough. It's also interesting because with 150 different Pokemon, the amount of teams you can make are endless, and it really makes you think about what types you want in your roster. Because most of the Pokemon types are weak vs. more than just one type. It's also important that you give them a variety of moves, as the moves are also typed. On paper it doesn't seem like much, but when you actually play the game, you'll find a clog in your drain you didn't even know you had because you thought your team was perfect... but then that one Pokemon comes along and exposes your fatal flaw.
D3 provides much of the same kind of game play as its other incarnations, it's just better. I have friends who cannot play the game because they get disoriented too easily when working in the three dimensions of the mines. However, if you're like me, you get a certain thrill from the constant direction changes as you blast away at nasty robots with impunity. D3 offers a new spread of weapons including Frag Missiles that burst apart in a shower of mini-projectiles; Impact Mortar, which create very large localized explosions and heaps of damage; the Vauss cannon, which is an updated variant of my favorite Gauss cannon. Gone are the Earth Shaker missiles, replaced now with the Black Shark, a singularity weapon which turns hunting `bots into a skeet shoot. Basically, there are enough weapons to make your average NRA lobbyist drool with envy.
Why? Well, Unreal Tournament is hardly the traditional first person shooter of "blast everything to pieces and maybe you'll survive". Sure, it starts like that, just like every other shooter ought to in order to familiarize you with the control system and interface, but immediately thereafter you begin to see that with game modes like Capture the Flag, Domination, and Assault, things are entirely different.
8122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I beat this game many times as a kid and will attempt to do this again as an adult. I think I'll succeed but it may take a while! This game and other Mario games are always fun to play no matter how old you are.
One unique aspect about Wario Land 2 is that you can't lose/gain lives, so it wouldn't be a frustrating experience for new players. However, there's no need to worry about the difficulty, as the challenge is still there, and going strong enough to be fair for everyone.
+ Great for any aspiring X-Files fan to play
And look at me now, gentle reader, and weep. I am but a mere pale shadow of my former self, a SWTOR habitu who, alas, still plays the same character that I did in Baldur's Gate, i.e. the lawful good paladin, for I have in essence rolled the same attributes for every BioWare game since my very first RPG character set foot in Candlekeep all those years ago. My only regret is that I have *never* been Chaotic Evil. Ever. Which is why I know in my heart that I will never be Emperor of the Galactic Empire. I believe that Baldur's Gate messed with my head in some subliminal way, and as a consequence I am doomed to be the once and future lawful good pally.
3913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The product was great and my son has enjoyd playing the game. It is a good investment for anyone with a child that loves to play games.
5303 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game is way too hard! I enjoy a challenge, but this is ridiculous! I grew frustrated on the easy setting and anything above that is more infuriating than fun. What is fun is playing with two players, but even that doesn't make it any easier. I would say if you can get this game for under ten bucks and only want about five or six hours of gameplay out of it it is worth it.
Doom is an adventure FPS where you play a space trooper trying to figure out what the heck is going on as monsters and demons of Hell invade Earth and then your motivation is to shoot em down with weapons and/or mow em down with a chainsaw: simple as that. I cant tell you how many times i would walk around an area and have monster jump out at me, or walk into a dark area in the game only for something to suddenly jump out!! Yes this game is scary!
It gets the second star only because some people consider all terribly difficult games to be a challenge and they might enjoy it somewhat. As I noted, there are some nice points later in the game...unfortunately, just as with the previous year's (1988) Castlevania arcade game (Haunted Castle), most mortals will never see many of its neat details.
98 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great!
Atmosphere in abundance - crippled corpses and radio interference.
+ deep and complex story
This game is brought to us by Ultra Games, a shell company of Konami. Because of this, the game shares some similarities with other Gameboy Konami/Ultra games like Operation C or Nemesis. There are nicely detailed sprites and environments, or as nice as they can be on the Gameboy. At the start of each level you can pick which turtle you want to play as. This doesn't really change much outside of what weapon they hold and unfortunately, due to their size, the game moves somewhat slowly. The music is really good and gives the same kind of mood you might feel playing one of the console Ninja Turtles games. Now, also like other Ultra Gameboy games, this one is pretty short, only clocking in at five levels. The game is still pretty fun and worth getting if you're a Ninja Turtles fan.
Cons aside, I spent countless hours with friends that I cherished playing this game. It will bring smiles to your faces for months to come. If you like this and own a Nintendo DS or a DS Lite (shame on ALL of you who don't!), then I totally recommend Mario Kart DS also. More levels and more mayhem. Did I mention even more characters?!
3811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far one of the most addictive games ever released. Much like its predecesor, DK2 is addictive, funny, and perfect in just about every other way. The best thing over DK1 is that the dark sense of humor is perfect now. much like the first, there is no cursing or anything, but the narrator and the little cutscences, everything is perfect for the dark humor theme. This game itself is definitely the best strategy game of its time. Non stop action, lots of replay value, skirmish, and multiplayer rounds out this package that should be a part of your collection if you like RTS games.
5646 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just bought Quake 3 Arena and I was suprised in this game! Quake 3 Arena is really for multi-player so if anyone likes fast-paced multi-player action then I say buy this game. You should practice on single player cause' multi-player is pretty tough depending on who you're battling. Quake 3 Arena has some pretty cool weapons, good graphics, and smart bots. There aren't many weapons but they're really useful and damaging. The graphics are dazzling and the bots are smart. When your battling bots they aren't programed to just chase after you and fragging you. They talk to each other and set up traps which I think is pretty unique. I bought this game a few days ago and it's a pretty cool game. If you like fast multi-player action then I say get Quake 3 Arena!!!
Bad Controls
8240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FANTASTIC. Obviously after 20+ years the game is going to look a little dated, but still plays excellent. One of the most influential games of all time and on my favorite console of of all time? Count me in! I actually prefer this version above PC because I play with game controllers very rarely with a mouse and keyboard. If you own a SNES and don't have DOOM yet, I would recommend it! Not too many FPS on the SNES but this one is a good buy!
I hope they come out with a Nocturne 2 that addresses these issues, I would really like to see it.
1095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game! You can't say that you are a Zelda fan, if you don't own this game. This game features an awesome storyline, unforgettable characters, and just keeps getting better. You could play this game forever, and not get tired of it! If you have a N64 system, you better own this game! Or if you have a Gamecube, you should have the Legend of Zelda Collectors Disk!
4603 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 good purchase
1843 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is definitely one of the best games you can find. Crash, a bandicoot as his name applies, is out to rescue his girlfriend Tawna from his arch nemesis, the evil Dr. Cortex. There are about 30 levels in the whole game to go through, in which range from extremely easy to almost impossible. The game is probably the hardest of all the Crash games, so anybody who wants a challenge is in for a treat. The graphics range. In some, the graphics will have you staring, and in some, you just plain will not be impressed, but I'm not saying anything about that. This game has a high amount of replay value as well, and for some levels you will need strategy. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the horrible save system. You can only save if you get to Tawna bonus rounds, (common) and complete them, (not too difficult), or collect a Gem, (medium difficulty to almost impossible.) If you can overlook the save system, then you've got yourself a great game.
To wrap this review up allow me to say, above ALL else, if you are a Legacy of Kain fan, this game is simply a MUST own.
5642 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game should marketed as a MULTIPLAYER ONLY!!!
After defeating Dr. Robotnik in the last game, Robotnik gets back to work with his usual scheme of taking over the world. Like in the last game, he's captured a bunch of animals and is turning them into malicious robots, and is building a devastation space weapon called the Death Egg. You take control of Sonic again to thwart Robotnik's plans, and this time, a two-tailed fox by the name of Miles "Tails" Prower tags along and helps you.
"Resident Evil 2", was just full of new ideas. The 2 discs, and the 2 people to play as, where each of their actions affect the other person's adventure, for example was just amazing.
Still, the game does have its warts. First, it is a very linear story. Part of the charm of some of those early Final Fantasy games (and other RPGs) was the feeling you could explore the entire world. Here, for about two-thirds of the game, you have no control over where your characters go or what happens (it's really like reading a book). By the time you actually get the airship (and can really start exploring) you are just about ready for the final showdown. Plus some of the really cool weapons to found cannot be obtained until you have virtually completed the game (Final Fantasy games have done this for years, and I have never understood it, what is the point of these amazing weapons when, by the time you can acquire them, your characters are so leveled up they are killing everything with ease anyway?).

3) Protoss (technologicly advanced race with lots of psionic powers, though think of the movie Predator, can stealth use plasma cannons, they stronger, bigger etc.)
that they are re-releasing it as an unlockable for the PSP
then the unthinkable happened. the dreamcast itself died. i think it was only in production for a year or so before sega pulled the plug. very sad situation. and to think that the dreamcast was on its way to become something big. but all isn't lost, maybe the dreamcast paved the way for playstation and xbox to be where they are today, maybe, i don't know. i kept my dreamcast for another year and traded it in for the ps2 in 2001 and traded my ps2 in for the xbox in 2002. i never forgot about the dreamcast, though, and how great of a system it was to me and seeing this on amazon not only brings me back to when video games where really starting to get good but also just bring me back to my child hood. i think i was like 13 or something. but to me this was one of the best game systems.
I really liked the character, Mona Sax was my favorite, even though she wasn't used as much as she would be in Max Payne 2, her character really did stand out in Max Payne.
Well... I'm not a slave to Symphony exactly, but I'll admit, this one's quickly become my favorite 2D game of all time due to the fact that I can keep coming back to it year after year and still find something new and fun about the game (try collecting all the rare items(!)). So I suppose it has stolen my soul. And while I can certainly see how newer generations of gamers could find so much to nitpick about it, this one remains a classic in my eyes... all bumps involved. So let's get the cons out of the way: Yes, most of the voice acting is terrible. Yes, the dialogue is cheesy as hell. Yes, the game's difficulty could be a little more challenging. Yes, the "other castle" is essentially the first one upside down. No, you can't get rid of all the inventory clutter of old items to make equipping items easier. But all in all, the gameplay stays amazing as it's ever had in the series, and a style that many gamers now follow to this day.
Well, not really, but this is one of several classic games that, in 2014, is still worth buying and playing. While it is supposedly playable on most PS2s and some PS3s, do yourself a favor and pick up a good used PS1 from a reputable seller. The whole bundle of stuff will cost you less than most new games.
9140 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Max Payne is the best third-person game ever. The PC version is the best version, that is for sure, quite frankly i'd take a keyboard over a controller anyday. Max Payne is a really, really long game, why people said the game was short is beyond me. Graphically it is pretty average, the character models are terribly ugly and the faces just look cut & pasted on the characters. Also, the one thing i always find amusing about Rockstar games is that no matter who develops the games for Rockstars, you can pull any weapon out of your pockets, no matter what size, that makes me laugh.
Concept:10 great campains. I would give it a 10.
In VI and in VIII, certain special attacks can be accessed when a character was low health. Here it's a bar that fills up whenever you get attacked. Fill it up and you can unleash a string of powerful attacks, one big beam, or even cure party members. One flaw is that regular attacks can't be accessed so you can't save it for an approaching Boss, you either have to use magic or just defend.
-Zero and Vile are introduced, but they don't really explain each of them here (Zero would be in X2, and Vile sort of would be in X3). The reason I complain about this is because originally, this was going to be the only game, and it would have been pointless to introduce close characters that wouldn't get a chance to evolve.
If you don't speak Japanese (or read it for that matter), then if you want to play this game, you're going to have a lot of research to do.
1858 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have never managed to beat the game, can't imagine how some people claim to do so in 5 hours. My 5 year old has finally figured out how to play these games on the playstation. She was getting frustrated with Crash, until I found the code that allows you to go to any level and play. Plus if you go to the Castle Machinery level first, you get 20 some free lives and then can go where you want. Find the password screen and punch in: T(triangle),T,T,T,X,S(square),T,T,T,T,S,X,T,O,T,T,T,O,S,T,X,X,X,X. Maybe it is cheating, but for us folks that have a hard time beating the game, it makes playing it more fun!

FFT's graphics and music are surprisingly good for its age. Beautiful hand-drawn sprites are layered over 3-D battle maps, and the synthesized music only occasionally sounds like it.
1839 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I tried the Crash 2 PlayStation game about 1998 and it was delightful. It was, in fact, so delightful that I looked around for the first part to start from the proper point.

Buy this game only if you truly are a fan of mindless puzzles and rail gameplay. If you want a little more freedom in a game with a little more depth, story, character development and replay value, look elsewhere.
In Knuckles level's you search for gems in a map and is very tiresome.
1. This is certainly not the best game ever. Not even the best game on Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64, and Perfect Dark both stomp this game into submission.
people gave it much attention. As time has passed though, many people
But shorly after I purchased this console way back in April 2000, I heard about the Playstation 2, and wondered if I made the right decision. Then the PS2 came out. All doubts were gone. And by Christmas, I realized that the Dreamcast was far superior. Even though the DC didn't quite stand up to the PS2 specifications-wise and in therms of hype, it dominated in other categories. The DC (at the time) had better graphics, more v-ram(visual memory), full anti-aliasing, 4 controller ports instead of 2, more games(better games I might add), better accesories, more support, a 56k modem, and truckloads of truly great titles being released. Yes, December 2000 was a great time to be a DC owner. But the great times were about to end...

2844 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I saw this game, and it looked amusing, so I got it. I soon found out that it had unique gameplay and was unlike any game I had played in the past. It's really fun, and you get hooked on it. Plus the unlockable mini games are a cool bonus. The problem was the camera (which could really be annoying at some times) and the challenge. Here's my tip: If you're an advanced gamer, 12 or older, rent this game, but do not buy. Most 11 year olds, and even some 10 year old have found this game easy. But if you're younger than that, you'll go ape over this game.
After eleven years, Final Fantasy VII still manages to be a beast in the RPG field. Boasting a colossal story and a few memorable characters. Final Fantasy VII is the game which made the JRPG genre big in the West and eleven years later it still ranks as one of the greatest games of all time.
THE PROS:
5409 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I don't know how people are rating this game so highly. I am a huge MK fan, but this game defines why I try to forget that MK3 and UMK3 came into existence. This is an absolutely horribly programmed one player game. The computer controlled players anticipate and counter every single move you do even on very easy! You have to pick Motaro just to make it to the end, and then who had the brilliant idea of giving Shao Kahn a throw-there goes the one way you could beat him with most players. Avalance software must have spent one day configuring the AI for this stinker. Then, to make matters worse, the Playstation D-pad controls like a tuna boat in a boat race. Good luck not breaking your controller as you watch your character get decimated and wonder why the move you tapped in did not work, over and over again. Then after I finally beat the game with Scorpion, the machine crashed twice so who knows if he has an ending or not.

The graphics are good but not in the realistic way.
What sets it apart: Flyable medium bombers with gunner positions, and unusual aircraft.
It was a very popular game when it came to the arcades but
7253 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong is one of the best adventure games on N64. As the game proceeds you unlock different kongs. My favorite is Tiny!! The levels and areas are complete and fully developed. It's not one of those games where you can finish it in a day, it takes months and months. I haven't even completed it! I think this is a great game for kids and teens, they'll enjoy long hours of fun and enjoyment. The graphics are very good too. I highly recomend it..!!
Colored Gems: 5 in all, one every 5 levels (25 normal levels, 5 secret levels.) They serve as platforms to new areas in some levels. To get them, ride on a platform in some levels (for the platform to appear, you have to not have died up to that platform.) One in a level every 5 levels.

Regardless, you are given four types of Yoshi, each with a special power according to their colour: green, red, blue, and yellow. The green is the most common. Upon injesting a turtle shell, the red blows fire, the blue flies, and the yellow creates a dust storm attack. The green is able to do all of these, if he swallows the same color turtle shell (red = fire, blue = flying, yellow = dust). The special color yoshis are only available in secrect Star levels, where they appear as babies which Mario must feed five enemies for them to become full grown.
7935 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ANY VIDEO GAME FAN HAS PLAYED THIS GAME AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME. AND EVEN THOUGH THIS GAME REALLY RESEMBLES THE ORIGINAL ARCADE VERSION FOR THIS GAME, THE FATALITIES AND THE GORE [WHICH WAS CONTROVERSIAL AT THE TIME AND CAUSED ALL VIDEO GAMES TO HAVE RATING LABELS ON THEM] ARE MISSING! SO THAT MEANS AFTER THE FIGHTS ARE OVER, NO FATALITIES, ALL YOU CAN DO IS FINISH YOUR OPPONENT OFF WITH A REGULAR MOVE. BUT, EVEN WITH THE FACT THAT IS A TAMED VERSION OF THE ARCADE FAVORITE, I STILL ENJOYED THIS GAME! THERE'S 7 CHARACTERS TO CHOOSE FROM, WHICH ARE LIU KANG, KATO, JOHNNY CAGE, RAIDEN, SCORPION, SUB ZERO, AND SONYA. THE GAME IS FILLED WITH GREAT GRAPHICS AND EASY TO LEARN GAMEPLAY. THE BEST CHARACTERS TO PLAY WITH ARE SUB ZERO, SCORPION, AND RAIDEN. THIS WAS STILL A FUN GAME AND IF YOU WANNA ADD ONE OF THE GREATEST FIGHTING GAMES EVER MADE TO YOUR VIDEO GAME COLLECTION, GET THIS GAME WHEREVER YOU CAN FIND A COPY OF IT!! VERSIONS TO AVOID; SEGA GENESIS, GAME BOY, AND GAME GEAR.
In this Suikoden sadly one of my favorite parts was always the Cook off's. This game just has so much to offer it is unreal. This game has yet to be beat in my opinion and I am an AVID gamer.

4237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Roller coaster Tycoon by Chris Sawyer is a theme park strategy game, It is a game that makes you want to actually ride coasters even if you hate them, It makes you belive you are creating a real theme park. The Interface is almost the same as chris swayers earlier game Transport Tycoon and it is very easy to use. The gameplay was easy, I was able to figure out the tool bar icons without much trouble. The gameplay is that you have to manage a theme park and complete the given objective within the time limit, You could borrow money from the bank and there are limitations to how much you can borrow. There are almost every type of ride you see in real theme parks in this game, Kiddies train, Chartlift, Merry go round, Bumper cars, Go karts, 3D cinemas, Boat rides, Obsevation tower, Force lift, and ofcourse Roller coasters, There is every type of coaster in the world from. Besides these there are many trees and when you build a pond ducks will come there. The hardest part of the game is Building coasters that would work and the ones the guests would ride, There are lots of already built coasters but desinging your own is a lot of fun. The bad thing about Rct is that it comes without a screnario editor, You can only play only the available screnario's, Most of the screnarios are very small in size, You cannot build outside the park and not all parts of the land are available for sale and the park is are almost half built. The research tool is bad too, It takes a lot of time and some times it comes up with rides useless for the current park. You can costumize them but they are in a mess too, If you need just gentle rides it may research a chartlift in a very small park. Still Rct is the best strategy game i have ever played, I loved it, I played it for 5 hours and didn't know that i was on so long. Rct is a must for people who love computer games and have the system requierments. It doesn't take a coaster nut to fall in love with this game, Get it.
5267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When gamers talk about a game which redefines a genre of games, "Thief" is the type of game they mean. It's not just playing the same sort of game in a new way, it's taking the core concept of a genre, and going in a completely different direction. It makes a new game out of a familiar concept. In one elegant stroke, "Thief" takes the concept of the first-person shooter and completely flips it around, greatly expanding the potential of what an FPS game can be.
This was my first serious RPG. I couldn't stop playing it. I played it for over a year just totally in love with it. Now, before you throw a flag and say "rose-colored glasses", I still reinstall this game every 3-5 years and play it again from scratch. VII is also very good, but never captured the massive expanse and wonder that VI did.
3782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought that console gaming had reached it's height with Zelda 64. Since then, no game has really impressed me for the N64. Sure Perfect Dark and Zelda: Majora's Mask were great, but nothing could touch Zelda 64. Then, last weekend I received Dreamcast as a Confirmation gift, along with a memory pack (required if you want to save your game, and I think u do) and Sonic Adventure. Now, folks, I was a HUGE fan of Sonic back in his glory days with the Genesis, which reached it's peak with Sonic 2. Needless to say, playing gave me a true sense of nostalgia.
Gameplay: This fighting game is unlike any other fighting game you'll ever play. I say that because you get to fight as dinosaurs and giant apes, how cool is that ? In this game you play as one of seven dinossaurs/apes (five dinosaurs and 2 apes to be exact). You can either play as Diablo, a hellish looking T-rex, Blizzard, a cold blooded killer ape, Sauron, a crazy telepathic T-rex, Talon, a crazy fast and deadly raptor, Vertigo, the poisonous long necked dino, Chaos, a crazy King kong like ape, and Armadon, a vicious crazy triceratops. Well, just like any other fighting game you got your basic moves like you got your high and low attacks. But, instead of punching and kicking like humans do, in Primal Rage you get to tail whip, bite, slash with your claws, and kick slash with your claws too. Mixing some of those moves up add up to some deadly combos. If you do these fast enough you can make your enemy brain dead for a couple of seconds which means they can't move and it's your chance to get more attacks on your opponent which is very helpful. Each character has there own special moves like Blizzard has his Ice breath attack, and Chaos with his weird fart bubble attack which is weird but cool, Sauron has his telekinetic force field, Diablo has his fireball attack which is pretty rad and those are just some of the cool special moves you can pull off. After you have beaten your opponent in two rounds, you can choose to humilliate them by performing a finishing move on them. (like a fatality on mortal kombat). For example, Sauron's Crusher, he just jumps really high in the air and then he just stomps on corpse and turns it into mushy guts. It's a pretty awesome finishing move. Primal Rage has a 2-player versus mode which is pretty fun to whoop your friends at.
The plot follows the heroine from the first game, Jill, 24 hours before and after the devastating outbreak of the T-Virus in RE 2. A novel concept, and one which Capcom surely intended to exploit fully. The inclusion of the Nemesis character, a Frankenstein-like monster who relentlessly pursues you from start to finish, is also a nice twist, adding much-neede dtension to the game whenever he makes an appearance. The menus and controls are also tweaked, most notably the inclusion of the 'Turn' and 'Dodge' features, which, if learned properly, add hugely to the gameplay.
Well (sigh) I was blown away by the first Quake and there's plenty of words for it-advanced,dark,creative,or my choice of word would be primitive. Firing a nailgun at an ogre (enemy) wielding a chainsaw and chucking grenades I thought the Quake series was just going to get more grim with every future release in it's polished form. Quake II is still a noteworthy shooter but it goes towards a hi-tech,bio-organic, cybernetic experiment and does a good job at it. It's just that the Quake series didn't stick to a particular formula.
8759 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If there are video games taht have truly stood up to the tests of time, it's the Sonic The Hedgehog video game series.
F-Zero X
Pokemon glitches has been changed. The well known missingno cannot be used by the old man glitch.(That's how you get missingno in red and blue). The mew glitch,can be used,but It causes some glitchy effects. Like, the game will say strange things and it will freeze. There's one glitch called the door glitch that only works in this game. But sadly,I don't know how to do it!!!! But,I do know at the end you have to walk in front of Gary's house for 83-86 steps and on your 84 or 87,you go in the house and you end up in a route. I am not sure if glitch city works to. Most likely yes because red and blue are copies of green.
The scenery and atmosphere in this game are blissfully melencholic, and the musical soundtrack to the game brings all that darkness to life. Abandon all this sorrow and crumble into an even deeper misery as you enter the spectral realm. Consume the souls of the dead and wish you could stay here forever!
MENUS AND PUT-TOGETHERS 1/10
286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I chose this product rating because it had great shipping, great product discription. I would recommed this product to any one who plays PS2 games.
47 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazing value. I cannot believe this set is available for this price. Everything from the packaging to the quality of the paper is stellar. This set feels like it was put together with care in mind. Also worth noting is the fact that the Ocarina of Time guide can only be found in this set. Only criticism I have is that the cloth maps were not included for Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Still, Im very happy with my purchase.
Overall (score 7/10): NOTE this score is not an average; it's my subjective overall score. Overall, this was a decent, enjoyable game. Even though the story isn't the best, I really enjoyed the characters and they kept me playing. Is this game worth playing? Yes. Is this game worth the eventual $90 I had to spend on it? Definitely not. I personally don't think this game is worth more than $40. If you can find it for less than that, then go for it. If not, then you might want to try the GBA remake, Lunar Legend (though I don't know how good it is, since I've never played it). If you don't happen to ever play this game, then it's no real loss since there are plenty of contemporary RPG's available that are much better.
It is an interesting idea, but it doesn't really enhance the games. Just because the controller shakes in your hands doesn't mean you feel like part of the game. In fact, with all the shaking, it might even disrupt your game play. You are much better off getting a visual VMU to put in the front slot, at least that enhances your gaming experience. I have this tremor pack and after playing with it for a few hours I took it out and haven't used it since. Don't waste your money on it. That is the best advice I can give.
All in all, if you truly understand it, this is one of the few games that can be best described as an experience, as you watch it as much as you can play it, yet it still focuses on gameplay. My freind Sean owns this game, and can't stand playing it, yet he refuses to return it, since watching this game being played by someone else truly is just as good; he's proven it to me by sitting and not even looking away from the TV as I play for hours at a time when I play and he's around.
7366 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the greatest tranfers from arcade to home system. The graphics indeed look almost just like the arcade and the sound is the part where it will shock you because we all thought the 64 couldn't handle such quality arcade stereo type of music but the 64 was able to handle it!!! Everything is there except for Jago's spirt move and some back grounds were altered. The bad thing is that due to nin 64's limited capacity of memory, the cool cinemas were taken out and each character is limited to one ending instead. But still alot codes and secrets make this game worth playing and of course when you unleash the ultra combos-sit back and watch it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Have a nice day.
Sonic R was 3D, but it was a racing game.
Nothing bad I can think of. I was going to order you to consult your physician before playing this game like I normally do... but then again, you might consult a psychiatrist once you start playing because it's just THAT creepy.
It's pretty hard to go wrong buying this game as cheap as it may be found. While the Japanese version will snag some good cash if you let yourself get hornswaggled, the US version is basically more Genesis ballast to get rid of as far as many game stores are concerned and can be found for a few dollars--even complete or unopened.
This game is over all a classic. I loved this game when I first baught it which was about 7 years ago.
The visuals Are superb, Great Controlls, brilliant story and awesome multiplayer makes me give this N64 Classic a
Hill Top- 5/10: Hill Top did not impress me very much. It felt like a remade Marble Zone, and that feeling was only heightened when the Eggman fight was the same thing as the Marble Zone.

5199 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I decided just out of curiosity to check out the reviews of people who gave this game 1 and 2 stars. They all said the same thing, and I agreed with some of it. I'll be the first to admit that Metal Gear Solid is short. Skipping cut scenes, I can be the game in about 2 and a half hours now. I'll also admit that the graphics are dated, however for their time they were amazing! Sure, I'll even admit that some of the dialogue was cheesy.
also, check out Shinobi on Xbox live Arcade.......
1132 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Reading magazines from 1996-1998 one thing you couldn't escape was a some kind of mention of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It was all over the place. Popping this in my N64 when I took it home I spent literally 2 hours just exploring Kokiri Village just cause it was so fun. But then I realized "oh yeah there's more to this, isn't there?" And that's when the fun started.
1429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still the best 3D game on the market. Challenging, tons of fun levels and amazing gameplay. A true model for 3D games.
9905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the sequel to the game Golden Axe, I believe they made three. Either way, all three are fun. They're basic games you probably have seen back in the day in an arcade, but they're great for hours of fun. Bash'n'beat. Even more fun with freinds!

You play a young man whose grandfather has died and left him his run-down farm to revive. There are tons of chores to do, animals to raise, vegetables to harvest, people to visit, girls to marry, Spring Festivals, Horse Races, swimming contests and much much more. There's always money to make and things to buy that can improve your house, farm or love life.
9216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The premise is simple go through various obstacles with Jump Man (more famously known as Mario) and dodge the baddies, find the right path and unlock doors to get closer to resquing the princess from Donkey Kong. It's stiff fun and it seems it will always be relevant in pop culture. It's awesome with the Super Gameboy adapter for the Snes, which has it's own themed arcade cabinet border and it gives it COLOR! 10/10 great game, highly recommended!
-Battle system is a bit flawed.
8239 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Galatic Attack, the very first installment along with Ray Storm and Ray Crisis, is arguably the best installment out of 3. It's so depressing for the fact that shooter genre is no longer mainstream in video gaming, however, if you are looking for a really good(I said REALLY GOOD)shooter and you still own Sega Saturn, then please get this game because you will thank me tremendously.

-STORYWISE, A NICE CONNECTION TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES. It starts out with X being built by Dr. Light. He is very unsure about his new prototype model, so in order to make sure all of X's systems will function properly, he (X) must be locked in a capsule for about thirty years. Light realized that he won't be alive when X awakens, so he buries X for another scientist to find. 30 years later, Dr. Cain finds X and starts to build numerous creations based off of X's design. One of them, Sigma, goes haywire and threatens to destroy all of mankind, so X is sent to stop him. I won't spoil the rest.
8511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played all the street fighters in my time, but thinking back on this one, it seemed to have great speed features when you go and actually tweak the settings. However, i remember playing this on the Genesis Nomad and i got a black screen with hex code saying i performed an "illegal operation". Not sure what happened but i have found this to happen on the 32x as well and with the mortal kombat 2.......This did not happen on the genesis console, which is good. killed a lot of time on this when i was younger, but wish the sound was better. overall a great game. for the nomad i called sega back in the day and found ms. pacman and decapattack to be the only two games known to be incompatible, the list should have been a lot bigger!

Another new feature is the Kong Throwing method, in which you can team up both Diddy and Dixie and use it to grab out-of-reach items and platforms (you must have both Kongs in order to use it, though).
Overall, do you wanna see what was first kart-racer has to offer? Go ahead and buy it.
8124 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 That's what I said as I was playing this game - WOW! Everything about this game screams quality. Here's the story: You are a crusader of light that falls in love with a nun, and then, the next night, you are "embraced," and are thrusted into the world of Vampire: The Masquerade.
You have to shift inbtween worlds to advance

Ah, hello there middle ground. I'd guess Cosmo Canyon is more than a little derived from an idealized portrait of the American Southwest and its indigenous peoples. But in any case, it's what every commune wishes it could be, and in all honesty, it's where I'd be posting this from if it actually existed. The jolly and wise Bugenhagen most represents the place's spirit: humanity, nature, and technology existing in balance.
6735 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 batman forever is Mortal kombat rebuilt for batman. they put MK's controls and suk random bat gizmo controls in it. i personally never beaten the game, but maby i just suck at it. that or i lost patiance with it because i can't get pat the first hole in the floor. do youself a favor and stay away from this pile of bat crap.
2121 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 WAY too many positive reviews for such a crappy game. That's what I think. Syphon Filter is atrocious. I received this game as a Christmas present (gee, what a crappy gift) back in the late 90's. I thought to myself "well, all the N64 players have Goldeneye, I can compete with them when I receive Syphon Filter for my Playstation!" How wrong I was.
52 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with purchase
87 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a great price on this set, the treasure chest is a great addiiton. they are limited to 50k so buy it up!
14 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had Dirt 2 on Xbox 360 and it was an okay game. I started playing games on my laptop and bought a few new games to build my collection. This game is very fun to play. It is so much better than Dirt 2. If you like racing games you should check this out. The graphics are perfect on my compter.
7258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love playing this game. can get tedious at times, but a good way to waste time
3586 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sony's latest console certainly has the best selection of games, chief among them, Pro Evolution Soccer and The Getaway. It is, however, a tad too expensive, considering its specs.
500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun, classic PS1. I like to collect old games so it was a nice surprise to me that it was a collectors edition. It has some playable demos and some watchable demos at the beginning.
7080 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a real N64 controller that works. Have not had issues with sticky buttons. All that you loved and hated about the N64 controller will be found with this product. Currently using this on a N64 emulator and it works like a charm. No issues so far and hopefully never will.

Welcome to Cloud World
1179 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Made in 98, but still better quality, play, and design than most games on the market in '05. Good storyline, great AI and graphics, not-overly aggressive system requirments, tons of add-ons available. Incredible single player mode, good weapon selection, and arguably one of the best FPS online games of all time. If you like HALO, you will like Halflife. Very similar, but no limit on how many weapons you can carry, and the levels aren't as repetative. (My biggest complaint about Halo, though it's obvious why, many of the levels and hallways are exact copies of one you've seen dozens of times already...gives a feeling of being lost, and even fed up at times.) Halo does have the edge as far as cars and what not though. I also recommend Halflife 2, the sequel to what I'm talkin about here... INSANE graphics and gameplay.
6655 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I already have this game but my friend's stole it and lost it. So yeah I love this game so much that i just had to get it back. And it was worth every penny. =)
Myst is, indeed, a game for the refined gamer.
It is at least worth a rental if not a buy. I give it five stars because it kept me very entertained, and I have been disenchanted with most of the SquareSoft games lately. This really picked my spirits up. If you don't mind a bit of repetition, you might not find this so bad.

If you call yourself a gamer and have not played Ocarina of Time, what are you? Some undercover non-gamer sent in to infiltrate us!? Go play it now!
The gameplay of this though - is the only downfall. It is HARD! As the first installment in the Super Star wars franchise, it is a game that is considerably challenging even on easy! The controls are pretty fluid, but the badguys in this game seem to not like to die, and sometimes jumping can be your best friend, and your biggest enemy. But no need to worry, playing this game is so addictive, that after a while it gets to become a persona challenge and it is a beatable game.
8119 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you love Vampires, this is a great game. I never played the paper version, but the gaming system in this game is very good. The advancement system is nice in that you don't have to wait to advance levels to gain stats and abilities. Just get enough experience and you can upgrade yourself at any haven.

1236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Greatest wrestling game ever, to this day. Not only does it feature the best wrestlers from the greatest time period in all of wrestlings history, but that greatness translates into the game. Fun, and very real controll like features. Can't say enough how great the game is.
fact that some of the songs in the game are entirely missing. During the localization of
As a possession, it's highly desirable - it's small, stylish and easy to hold, and apart from the fragile battery cover, it seems very solid. It's slightly bulkier than the Game Boy Pocket, but not off-puttingly so, and keenly-priced, too. Only the high price of the cartridges could put people off, but with several million Game Boys out there (many of which are presumably restricted to playing 'Tetris' and nothing else), there is a thriving second-hand market.
The PROS: Everything! What a way to update Mega Man and spin off an entire new series at the same time. They kept the core basics of the NES Mega Man series and threw in new characters, new story and new graphics, sounds and music. Beating the game is half the fun and so is looking for the various heart upgrades and weapon upgrades to your armor suit. And to add icing on the cake, the game had a secret armor upgrade that was a nod to Capcom's other popular franchise, Street Fighter. It made such a huge impact that two more sequels were made exclusively for the SNES. Great, great game overall.
Still, all that doesn't take away the fun of this game, it's great, it's fun, and it's a laugh sometimes. Would I recommend you rent it? Yeah, if you know a place you can still rent 64 games. Would I recommend you buy it? You probably would have to if you want to try it (or find a rom).
6748 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love my GAME BOY pocket. It was the first system I ever owned. When someone stepped on and messed up my screen, I was devastated. Now I got another and it's time for an amazing nostalgia trip. If you want a way to play Gameboy games use this or maybe a gba sp. I love the size and the yellow one is the coolest. On a budget and want to discover how a whole generation became gamers? Buy this!
The bad?
7611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hours of fun durable game unlike disc games
Aside from the violence and lack of interesting levels, the game is pretty much void of any lasting qualities. If you want a weekend of pure hell (both keeping you stuck to your computer and grossing you out entirely) then buy this game. Otherwise, don't bother.
The slingshot could also be used for slinging Power Pellets in case of any ghosts lurking around. However, here's one major flaw with that - The only place I recall where you get Power Pellets is Pac-Man's house. And you only get to use 3 before running out. If Pac-Man needs a Power Pellet and ghosts are scaring him, this will go on for a LONG time before the ghosts finally fly away.
2796 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Riven is a worthy followup to Myst and still must rate as one of the alltime great adventure games.
It really just feels like any other generic platformer that was reskinned as a Marvel game halfway through development as very little of the gameplay feels unique to the characters. Why is Spidey jumping up ledges to climb buildings? Why is he not wall-crawling? There is some crawling, but it feels like an afterthought. The character sprites are small and puny with little weight to the animation or impact to the action, and the level design is haphazard, repetitive and generic. Sometimes you'll even have difficulty identifying exactly what the environment is supposed to be. As for the music, well...it's not memorable. It's just noise, honestly.
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
5761 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a lot of fun. The story, graphics and sound are great (but this is to be expected from Final Fantasy). My only complaint about this game is the combat: Random encounters are very frequent, and they're on a turn-based engine. Square would do best by incorperating a variant of Final Fantasy XI's or Parasite Eve's combat system into their future RPG's.
As you may have heard, I am definitely NOT a fan of the very first Crash Bandicoot game released for the Sony Playstation in 1996. I am, however, incredibly surprised to find that Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is actually a really fun adventure game that may have been slightly overlooked at the time of its release because of the seemingly never-ending amount of wonderful games released for the Playstation in 1998.
Amazon- stand next to the doorway and kill everything with ranged weapons like javelins and arrows, fall back to get some space between you and the monster if you have to
5620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Final Fantasy is easily one of my top five (along with 6, 7, 9, and 12). The main thing I've always been fond of is the story. It's a love story, through and through, and a powerful one at that. The protagonist is unlike most, in that he's rather unhappy and antisocial in the beginning. Over time, his character develops but it's a long hard road for him. I won't spoil anything by talking about specifics, but this is very much a tale about people overcoming their personal demons in general. This game also has a lot of replay value, as the story gets very deep and you'll always be noticing something new about the setting, characters, etc. on subsequent playthroughs. FF8 does not spell things out for you! Know that going in.
5115 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Terrific game
7420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And maybe the best Ninja game ever! Shinobi 3 is by far the best of the Shinobi series on the Sega Genesis. Both the original Revenge Of The Shinobi and Shadow Dancer Secret Of The Shinobi is another good game but this one is by far the best. The story line is a little cliche and the plot does seem a bit regurgitated; but lets move on to the important stuff.
Back, (1 sec pause), Back, (1 sec pause), B. Don't try and speed-run this game.
Really, though, I can almost guarantee that for 60% of you, in 6 months, you will no longer be playing. Either that or you will have gone insane by the CONSTANT CLICKING ...This is not an RPG, not by a long shot. About the only thing it has in common with an RPG is choosing classes and experience points. For one thing, it has none of the complexity that many loved RPGs have. Some of us LIKE flipping through inch-thick manuals, thinking 'OMGZ THIS IS SO COOL'. Plus, I have not seen a SINGLE person role-playing...Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And this game is an enjoyable, wonderful game...for the first 3-5 months. Then the varnish all soaks off and you see the paint falling off the wood.
4934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just plain awesome. Top 5 material. Game-great! Voices-not sooo great. But it doesnt make you not want to play anymore. I have made it to Chapter 8 so far an am stuck on one of the puzzles. GRRRR. But it still keeps me a playin' Go buy it if you love a good story to unpuzzle. If not...go die then.
4928 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Quite the little breakthrough when this game came out, although on the surface one would not really know why..Yes the graphics are especially nice for the time, the tone is decidedly dark, and the plot is unusual, but what players became facinated by was the development of the story and how it related to your gameplay..More game makers should take the cues that psychology plays in this game, as it offers an entirely new, less restrictive playground for the seasoned player to venture off into..

5317 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In the RPG genre, it's very difficult to be original. Most of the time, RPGs are just variations of concepts that can be found in almost every other genre. Of course, some manage to be original in some way, like the "Final Fantasy" series, the "Grandia" games, and the heatedly debated "Legend of Dragoon". But probably one of the most original games found in the RPG market (at least in the US) is Atlus' "Thousand Arms". A game that differs in practically every way, "Thousand Arms" is an RPG gamer's dream come true.
Bad news first. This is a PlayStation 1 game, and oh my does it look it. This is an ugly game. Battles aren't bad and cut scenes could be worse, but walking around is bad. When exploring an area, it's often difficult to identify exits, ramps and ladders, and various "switches." There's a command that highlights ladders and exits to other areas, but ramps and switches are still hidden. This option has saved me some headaches, but it's aesthetically displeasing. RPG's hadn't started the "journal" thing yet, so skipping dialogue (even accidentally) or coming back to game after a busy week can lead to some confusion. The combat system because combat isn't intuitive and that there are a few too many status effects, some of which can easily break the game with a bit of bad luck.
This is a great classic game, and I highly recommend it.
723 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is when I fail in love with music and gaming but one of the toughest games yet to date.
The graphics make you think "WOW!" Maybe the graphics are similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, but only slightly. Nights shows you how beautiful the nighttime can be if you give it a chance.
6937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is by far one of my all time faverite games! I spent so many hours playing and playing with my cousin. Think this is one of my faverite games for N64, and like it more then the killing games now! Don't let the graphics fool you, even though they're not as good as the ones today. This game is fun and alot more simpler then the killing games today!
If you thought that the Metroids were all but extinct, think again! After Samus defeated the evil Mother Brain, she now has to set out on planet SR388. As you progress through the game, Samus will eventually come across some MUTATED versions of the Metroid family. In fact, there's 5 forms: Alpha, Gamma, Zeta, Omega, and the Mother Metroid. Each form is increasingly harder to defeat, and yes, you WILL need Missiles to defeat them. Samus will also come across new weaponry that wasn't in the first installment, including the Space Jump and Spider Ball.
I loved the freedom to chose your own path, picking what kind of character you would play and selecting team members from seedy bars in the worst parts of town. Spending hours working missions hunting gargoyle like creatures in abandoned warehouses, running mysterious packages from criminal bosses to businesses and avoiding getting jumped by the gangs, just to earn enough money to buy the equipment to do larger missions.
9170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super fast shipping, grandson loves. Thanks!
-Great graphics
In this modern era of bump-mapping and CG animations that look real, as in REAL, a game where 'my green dot is beating the heck out of your purple square' just doesn't do the trick for me. Especially when their purple square always strangles the living snot out of my green dot. No way. I'd be willing to bet that the graphics on the GBA are gonna look better than for the PS.
RAM: 16MB, 8MB Video RAM, 2MB Sound RAM
All in all, this is one of the best games on what really is a terrific game system - we play this and Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64 more than we play on the Wii!
846 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun game, great RTS. Harder than I remember but fun.
+ Several cast members make appearances throughout the game
9505 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ok, this game is cheeesy. the graphics aren't great and it definitely isn't as good as Yoshi's world but it still rocks. It is challenging and fun. I am a HUGE mario fan and although this game pales in comparison to the original mario games, there is still a lot of levels, jumping on creatures and fighting bad guys to keep you entertained. I would definitely reccomend this to any mario/adventure fan!
3) Good training level, where you can control many things, and add items and make the computer do things to help you train
Papyrus has done an excellent job with this; except for one glaring fault. The learning curve is near vertical and there is no way to dumb-down the cars (except to reduce damage) for those who demand instant gratification. You'll just have to go through the long (but entertaining) process of learning the lost art of the four-wheel drift -- and you'll eventually learn the benefits (or at least usefulness) of power on/off understeer and oversteer. In some ways these cars drive like non-winged spint-cars on a very wet track -- but perhaps just a bit more volitile. GPL models wheel-spin well about 100mph, and you'll eventually learn that although these beasties are unforgiving, they can be oh so satifying when you finally get it right. The arcade mindset will only frustrate the new GPL driver, but with time the amount of satisfaction you get will be well beyond anything you'll get without four real wheels.
The Battle System - 7/10: This is your typical turn based battle system with a unique leveling system. You must use your attacks and magic over and over again because they gain experience with every use. Then that leads to new spells and attacks. You must also change your party's weapons, because each weapon type gains its own experience.
88 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In recent memory, strategy guides have become less of a necessity and more of a collector's item. For every game nowadays there is a guide to accompany it. Sometimes there's a collector's edition guide as well. For collector's these are sometimes a lot of fun. For Zelda fans that enjoy Zelda lore this collection is a fantastic buy. There is a limited number in print and it's simply amazing to behold. It's great packaging and actually has things in there specifically for collectors.
7515 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is insainly hard
7697 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best game ever, works great
4) Included multiplayer system works well and is free. Usually not to busy but there are always at least 20 people on. Usually over 50!!
3817 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though a bit old, MW3 is STILL the best. The Campaign is fun, great overall mood and atmosphere, combined with two tracks from a little known music group known as 'Twisted Tenderness', 'Haze' and 'Make it happen'. -The music is limited, but darn good.
1144 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember all the hype surrounding The Legend Of Zelda: The Ocarina Of Time like it was just yestarday. The Zelda franchise has always been among the best to grace any video game system, and with the power of the soon-to-be-released Nintendo 64, the series was finally going to reach its next step: the third dimension. This (along with other titles like Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64) got both gamers and the press excited about the N64 and the upcoming Zelda game. While the Nintendo 64 never quite managed to live up to all its prerelease hype, The Legend Of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time managed to not only live up to its respected hype, but in many ways surpass it.
There is a Mission Battle mode in which you fight battles to earn points which, in turn, will buy cards with artwork on them. Some cards unlock costumes, some unlock whole levels. A few unlock whole new modes. That's all I have to say about this, except for: BUY THIS GAME!!
Final Words:Speaking of Vice City, That was one of the levels in this game, and so was liberty City, and San Anderess is the last city. Could San Andress be the next Grand Theft Auto? Hmmmm...
- Note: all Final Fantasy are not related to one another, think of each Final Fantasy a it's own game not connect in any real/true way to another Final Fantasy, the only exception is Final Fantasy X-2 which is a sequel to Final Fantasy X

1694 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the greatest games of all times. No if, ands, or buts. This is the granddaddy of them all when it comes to survival horror. Yes, Alone in the Dark, Uninvited and Sweet Home came first, but they went nowhere. This is what kick started an entire genre.
- What if I had 4 white mages?
Wow.
8738 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since Super Mario Kart came out it has been a favorite SNES game of mine. Super Mario Kart is the best racing game ever made for the Super Nintendo.
9162 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have noticed that some of you here have been stating the playstation/x-box versions are better. If you really think so, why don't the lot of you who said that go out and buy yourself a playstation/x box, and stop letting the world know it sucks on pc. IT DOES NOT suck on pc. on the PC version, if you need a patch, you can download it directly off the internet. On the playstation versions/x box, your SOL. This game rocks! NOTHING comes close!
Because of this, some gameplay elements were removed for the PlayStation version (like figuring out Willmore's computer password), but the plot doesn't suffer as a result.
2665 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Could never get it to work on any of my games.
7054 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Out of all the Bomberman games out there that I've played, I'd have to say Bomberman 64 is my most favorite. Don't ask me why...it just is. I rented it out from Blockbuster Video and, liked it so much, that I bought it. I never was a big Bomberman fan til this one came along. I wish I could explain how much fun this game is to play but you'd just have to find out yourself. The Single player mode is challenging but its' Multiplayer mode is where this one shines...yes indeed. Just let me say- I highly recommend this game to all. It's definitely worth its' asking price....
Those of my friends who don't like playing the game have always wanted me to let them know when I'm playing it so they can watch!! Imagine your family watching the game with you instead of nagging you to "stop playing" and get a life (?!).
3331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many, many 80's icons of video gaming have tried to make the leap to 3D platformers. Most have failed. Though credit is due to Frogger, who keeps on trying.

Anyone else waiting for Super Q bert Land?

The graphics are actually made more detailed than how the arcade game's graphics are.
Well, if you like theme parks, then this is for you!
When I started to play, I realized why Sega Saturn fans cherished this title. This is the one of two games that truly captured the ideal of Great RPG.
4175 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft Battle Chest by Blizzard Entertainment includes complete versions of StarCraft and its expansion pack Brood War. The box set also includes a strategy guide for both the original game and the expansion pack. I would say this is a great classic game but what it is is epic. Still as fun today as it was the day it was released. I play StarCraft II now yet still go back and play the original as there is an active online community via Battle.net.
8163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No more blowing!
4090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will try to make this short and sweet. Roller Coaster Tycoon is one of the funnest sim build 'em up games out there. In the tradition of Sim City, RTC follows the same concept except to build your very own theme park with everyone's favorite ride...the rollercoaster!!! Along with other types of carnival rides and many different scenarios to play, RTC is guaranteed to offer many hours of strong entertainment as well as a ton of fun!! If you do decide to purchase RTC, I strongly recommend to pick up the Loopy Landscapes/Corkscrew Follies combo expansion pack. This expansion adds about 20 new scenarios and many new exciting coasters which really do make an excellent and exciting theme park. I highly recommend that anyone in which this concept of building a theme park intrigues, to at least pick up the original game. I guarantee that it won't take long before you decide to get the expansion packs.
THINGS NOT SO GOOD
Sonic the Hedgehog?
Overall, it is a great game in the Genesis library. It has a few problems but those can be easily overlooked by the fun that this game provides. It is recommended that you play with a friend as there are tons of enemies that will attack you simultaneously, plus it makes the game a whole lot more fun.
54 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great product ,
2904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 BEST GAME EVER!
SOTN combines elements of classic Castlevania with an action packed role-playing game. Find hundreds of items, weapons, power-ups, and secrets hidden throughout this complex new Castle of Dracula. Fight against newer challenging enemies, as well as the classics from the original series. The music is well-orchestrated, and catchy. If you can find the First Edition of this game out there anywhere, it comes with a collector's CD full of music from the game... but that one is out of print and hard to find.
Some additional characters are the banana fairies which live on Fairy Island (only Tiny can access the inside of their cave with one of Cranky's potions) Also Rambi the Rhino and Enguarde the Swordfish are in this game to. (But only Donkey Kong can use Rambi, and only Lanky Kong can use Enguarde) And a parrot named Squawks who mainly gives information to the Kong's.
+However the official Sega VMU's has cool features with some games.. like mini games you can play off them.. and important information you can use in some games.
Buy if,
In my book this title is legendary and deserves to be played as much now as it did back then. Future sequels could never overcome the success or build upon it and anyway that makes this game a pass but rather no thanks to the future iterations.
high replay value
If you have paincence, then go ahead and buy it, I do recomand it, but realize that the difficulty of this game is intence.
I'll go a little bit in depth about the special teams you can choose from. First up is Team Sonic, which is Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. Sonic is good for speed, Knuckles for power, and Tails for flying. Let me just say right now I HATE Tails's voice. Cream's and Charmy's too. Just because they're little kids doesn't mean they need to sound dumb. And how can Sonic be 8?! There is no way. I still think he's at LEAST 17.
7018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfectly.
If your SW fan who really likes to micro-manage and has no problem with lots of mouse work, then this game is for you. In my book, this game is second only to the original X-Com (which is the other main-stay on my PC's).
- Cloud from Final Fantasy VII is a secrets and playable character
This is a classic survival horror game. It's so good and well made. The game had a bunch of sequels, spin-offs, and several film adaptations. If you love horror movies, or other horror games, then I totally recommend that you play Resident Evil.
One of the most amazing things is when you can, not only find new ways to bring your old consoles back to life, but go even further and find ways to STILL find more uses. Ever since the Playstation and beyond, companies have put out tons of items that help give new life to an old thing.
6126 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 So, if you're like me (and started out in the USA with the classic Red and Blue versions of the game), then you will know this game like the back of your hand. BUT, it takes a lot of effort to play this game.
Graphically, the game may be a bit grainy but it doesn't take from the game. You hardly notice that once you get into it. The sound is what truly shines in this game. Everything from germans yelling to one another to shotgun fire to explosions. Control is deadon, no complaints there. The gameplay is engaging and intense and, at times, difficult but extremely fun nonetheless.
Nintendo should have made an N64 player like they did with the Gameboy player.
Other things to note: It is not 3D in the sense you have completely unlimited height, width, and depth. Height is somewhat restricted, like any gameboard, but not enough to hurt the game, and certainly enough to give it the 3D effect you REALLY will get. And you MAY find yourself getting tired of the RTS resource, gather, fight cycle, as you inevitably do with other RTS's where tactics don't play as much a role as you'd like. In which case, in all honestly, the demo may be enough for you, so download and try that first--you'll love it.
7758 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game was really boring, and was not what I was expecting for a Nintendo game, I would not buy this game for my kids again..
One of the best things about this game is all the gadgets and weapons you collect. Honestly, I felt like Batman with a green hat. Boomerangs, swords, bombs, hookshots, bows, etc. Add to the mix various RPG type magic attacks, and you have a wonderful variety of gameplay.
7438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game worth picking up

9397 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 My sister got this game when she was a kid, she never made it past the second level. I gave a crack at it and made it a little further. This game has a Very high difficulty after the first level. The Music and graphics however are quite good. I only suggest this game to hardened gamers that are lion king fans.

You will not be sorry adding this version of Civilization to your collections. The gold edition has every expansion included with it and you can jump right into it as if you had always known how to play it. There will always be more games to join the market that will try and out do this game, but I am yet to find one that has yet to out do this. Find out for yourself why taking over the world is so much fun and be prepared to lose lots of sleep wanting to just do "One more turn.."
The Extreme
Positive features of the game: Visually, the game is quite well done, especially the scenary and spell effects. The atmosphere can get quite spooky in underground caverns and during thunderstorms. There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to character creation, and one is even allowed to double-class and choose their character's appearance. The NPCs can be quite engaging, and party members (you can have up to 6) actually interact with each other verbally in often humorous dialogue. The storyline is interesting and generally linear, though there are many sub-quests that one can choose to pursue.
You get to manage everything from staff to construction. You can also theme them and name them. Whatever type of themepark you want to do. Do it. Everything is to scale, which is quite unusual for a strategy game. The only drawbacks are the very drawbacks that real park managers would have. Once all of the goals are met an extra park appears. And then you can do what you want.
An interesting side-effect of playing on a much faster computer has developeed. I currently have an AMD Athalon 64 processor, somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.2 GHz, and 512 MB of RAM. Needless to say, the game runs without my machine breaking a sweat. Through a menu option, the player can change the game's real-time speed, anywhere from 10-100%. While 10-90% speeds are the same as when I played 8 years ago, I've discovered that Caesar III interprets "100% speed" as "take all available computing power and dump it into the Caesar III engine--Make everything go as fast as possible." With an 8-year-old game, this translates into breakneck speeds where all the townspeople run at Superman speed. It also means that there's no way you can keep up with the game's events and succeed. It's fun to watch, though.

7323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why do people give this less than 5 stars. I mean, there should be a 6 star rating so i could give this game 7. How could capcom make a better game. Easily. I really hate this game. It's my favorite. Why would any one buy this game. It is so horrible. I love it. What is up with mega man's voice it's like a millon nails scratching against a black board. I like his voice. Overall, how could hi capcom, make such a food game. poop smells good. i lkie the taste. Ummm. lunchtime.
But there is more mischief to be had as you can cause a car to fall on top of a guy doing some repairs, splash some water on a bikini babe, knock over trash cans, as well as breaking windows(like the first game).
This game is a slam-dunk if you like the survival horror genre.
And black is just a cool color.
Fun for all ages.
Of course this deserves a
9843 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A classic! What's not to love about Kirby? My boys love this game and the adorable Kirby. It's good fun.
There's a cheat code to fill up on infinite amounts of health if you happen to think the game is too hard, and need help. Also worth noting is that the Saturn version is equally as good. I destroyed my friends Saturn copy back in 1997 (I was an idiot back then). The Playstation and Saturn versions are equally as good, and almost exactly the same. Get either one.

Confidential Mission
5237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is no doubt konami's greatest work. The graphix are great for a PS1 game. The storyline has to be the best I have ever heard of for a game. You can really tell that konami put alot of time,thought and feeling into this one! The gameplay is great and the game is preety long and since the plot is so great and the way it unravels just makes you wanto keep on playing and playing. I first played this at one of my friends house. The AI though is kind of pathetic. I mean you can be behinde a few boxes,look up,aim at a bad guys leg and shoot him and he just goes"HUH,WHOS THERE"?So I shot him a second time to see what he was doing and the second time he actually started to walk towards me and then he says"HMMMM" and then he turned around and walked back to where he was standing. After that I got mad and I ran all the way up to him when his back was turned and I kicked him and he goes "HUH"!And then after about 5 seconds he FINALLY turned around and saw me and then I killed him. So I hope just because I told you that the enemys are stupid that that won't keep you from buying it because this is still a fun game and the enemys do get a little smarter if you select hard mode. The Bosses are great and well thought up and you even get to learn alot about there privet life when there not trying to take over the planet,like...Sniper Wolf,it talks about her and it even talks about one of your team mates(Octagon)falling in love with her. Its funny though because after you kill her you have to listen to him whine about her death and stuff. Overall this game is great,fun,and has some replay value also. I recommend this game to everyone!
3499 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am a Dreamcast holdout. And I am proud of it. The DC is...was the new Resident Evil Machine and every game in the series except for 1 was on it. Which brings me to Resident Evil 3
That's handled much better in SC3K Unlimited.
4024 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still going strong after all these years. Goofy graphics compared to the later games but still.......it's Half Life!! Great game!
4689 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is loooong. I really enjoy long games but this a bit much for me. Of course if I could play more than two or three hours a week.... Things I didn't like: not escaping though cutscenes, not automatically reloading the last quicksave and less 'reputation' comments from your NPCs- Highly recommended and a 'must have' for any RPG fan.
+ A great control scheme for the N64 controller, with added control schemes to have you pick from.
The story was actually very interesting in this game. I don't think X, Zero, and the "Irregular Hunters" were actually in the right. You seem almost like tyrants in this game and even more so in the next game. If a reploid has his own ideas then...
5829 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever noticed that your Game Boy color just runs right through your batteries? Well if you get this charger Your GBC will never be out of power and it's so cheap. I reccomend you get this right now.
You start out as a boy named Justin. He dreams of becoming an adventurer just like his dad. Justin has a childhood friend and cousin named Sue. Sue has a great pet named Puffy, that Justin's Dad found on one of his many adventures. As you start your adventures you will meet tons of funny and interesting people. Like Feena, a fellow adventurer, Guido, a wise, if enigmatic bunny rabbit, Gadwin, the masterful warrior, Milda, an Amazonian that likes using her body instead her head, Rapp, a hot blooded young man with a bad attitude and a host of other cast members that make this game a joy to play.
4) Voices- This game hasn't been butchered by lousy English voice actors, and everyone's sound bites are still in their original Japanese. For some reason, game voices sound cooler when you don't know what they're saying.
219 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Seems to be working fine. Although, not all the games we have are recognizing it, as an available memory card. I have read, in other reviews, that if you copy saves over, from a smaller capacity memory card, those games will recognize it. I don't have a smaller capacity card, with which to test this.
Get it and do yourself a favor.
Purchase one, swap out the save battery (get a CR2025, they're cheap and it's easy to replace them, don't worry. Use tape. No need for soldering). You'll be playing for hours and hours to come. You'll find yourself humming all the old town themes and battle soundtracks.
Yes, this game is old but, like fine wine, games can get better with age.
So of course, after defeating the game forward and backwards it would be time to test the Quake engine network code. Needless to say, a 56k modem is NOT recommended. Even though with my experience the network game play is better than the Unreal engine, the modem does this game sad justice. Hopping up to anything better than a 56k modem really makes this game shine. Valve has multi-player levels packed right in with this game, nice big areas with lots of weapons make this game a fun "frag-fest". The levels don't have that disgusting "dark" feel to them. Underground levels have suitable colors and lighting. Out door levels have an expansive feeling (although no where near the "out door" feeling that Unreal does so well). Too bad that H-L has compatibility problems with various video cards.
Sid Mead (of 2010 & Blade Runner fame) was hired on to design the alien Nephilim/Phylum fighters and capital ships, and produces true wonders! The fighters have a beautiful aquatic-insectile look to them while the capital class starships resemble nothing most people have ever seen. They are both fearsome and invoke no small amount of curiosity from the player and made me want to find out more about this dark and enigmatic race.
6361 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nintendo 64 is one of the coolest toys I have ever gotten. I love it! It's so fun, and you can get controllers with different colors. Another thing I like about Nintendo 64 is the fact that there is very wide variety of games. Some of the best games are Mario Party 2, Top Gear Rally 2, All Star Baseball 2001, and Mario Kart 64. I also like it because it has different types of games, like action, racing, sports, puzzles, adventure and more! I absolutely like Nintendo 64. I would recommend to anyone who wants a cool video game console!
4188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You will never be able to play another real-time-strategy game again, I couldn't. I have never played any other game as much or as long as I have played this one. Can't wait for part 2 later this year!
6894 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loaded with everyone of your favorite MK fighters pre MK4. MK Trilogy was out dated in appearance the day of this versions release. However, I never played Trilogy for it's graphics. The game play is very addictive I think. Don't get me wrong I do like the look of this game. I wouldn't call this game anything less than perfect just the way it is. Even tho I don't play this game nearly as much as i did.. I did play it for 5 years, 3 years of which was everyday. Mortal Kombat has been my favorite fighting game series for over half a decade now. So what does this great game really offer you... 30 playable fighters, moves and 'alities never seen in an arcade, brutal brutalities and 7 pit like stage fatalites!! Starring: Scorpion, Subzero, Kitana, Raiden, Cage, Reptile, Sonya, Sheeva, Smoke, Cyrax, Liu Kang, Kabal, Nightwolf, Jade, Sindel, Rain, Stryker, Kano & Jax. Just to name a few.
If you have a Nintendo 64 (which not many people do), then buy this NOW!
9104 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my opinion in this bundle you get the best Nintendo system ever and the best Nintendo game ever. This review I'm writing will discuss each item separately in more detail.

Story: Donkey Kong gets kidnapped by King K. Rool and it is up to Diddy(sidekick on Donkey Kong Country) and Dixie to save him. Old pals aiding you in your questare Rambi the Rhino(brute strength), Enguarde the swordfish(defeat underwater foes), and Squawks the parrot(to fly). You also have new pals: Rattly the rattlesnake(mad hops), Squitter the spider(webs to reach higher goals), Clapper the seal(to freee water or cool it), and Glimmer the angler fish(to help see underwater).
Anyway, a highly reccomended game. But I liked "Tomb Raider 2" way better then this one.
All in all a good buy. When's the next one?
9058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This shows what the SNES was capable of, compact wise. Being able to fit three games in one is excellent. It has a quality to it not seen in some games today.
Overall, this classic is wonderful, and one of the best RPG's I have ever played. About the challenge of the game, it is actually quite easy. There are some difficult levels and bosses, but the overall premise of the game is simple, but I don't mean that in a bad way. A easy learning curve is just what a game needs, so you can start having more fun earlier in the game. With the amount of secrets in the game, and the surprising depth of the characters and story, the game can offer over 20 hours of gameplay. Also, it is a great enough of a game that you will want to replay it over again as soon as you finish it. I myself have beaten this game over 50 times in the years I have had it. So, to put it simply...if you haven't gotten this game yet...get it now!
The original Dino Crisis is supposed to be about making the right decisions when it comes to either keeping your ammo and health in one place, or making the decision to bring the ammo and health with you. It's supposed to be about guessing whether or not the ammo or health will eventually be necessary as you progress through the game. However, on easy mode, none of this makes a difference. The game is *so* easy on easy mode, that you can literally get attacked by dinosaurs about five or six times before you even need one of those Med Pack M's (used to bring your health back to 100%). Seeing as how there aren't many dinosaurs in the game overall, you will only need to use one of these health packs maybe two or three times throughout the entire game. Dino Crisis is *that* easy! This means you will only have to bring one or two Med Packs with you, and leave the rest behind.
5984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think it's quite customary for people to critize a game, once it is massively successful. There will always be that 15% who will dedicate their life to critizing and hating it. It's human nature, and this is because everyone want's to sound like an 'expert'. Those who hate DiabloII just hate it to sound like a critic. After all who would know better than an expert, right?
4102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm reviewing this game now having played it religiously for over 15 months. No game has ever held my attention for nearly so long a period. Even though newer and probably better games are on the horizon to claim the #1 spot due to technology advancements- Half-Life will likely forever hold my fondest gaming memories.

503 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fighting Force was the wanna-be "Streets Of Rage" for PlayStation. If you grew up in the 90's and owned a Sega you'll know what I'm talking about. The game had tons of flaws such as the lo-fidelity sound effects (sssshhhhheeeewwwmmm) and the blocky PC-like design of the characters. Heck, it looked like a Windows 95 platform game.
The replay value of this game is astonishing. Considering the 20+ hours it takes to complete it the first time, not to mention the Nightmare and Hell modes, which are unlocked after completing Normal mode, there is a lot of playing to do here. Nightmare and Hell modes offer new items, and harder monsters. It is essentially playing through the game a second time, with much tougher monsters, and much better loot. The concept is brilliant, and of course you will be itching to try the other classes as well to see how they fare. Let me warn you though, this game is very addictive, even in singleplayer. Online, that's a whole other level of cyber-crack. The intense competition for items and the jockeying for positions on the ladders are what kept the game alive for this long.
Summary:(Read Below if you wanted More Info)
Look for new perks such as followers and your own private stash.
Also, there's a point in getting points this time around. At the end of each act, if you get 10,000 points in that act, you'll get a continue. Whenever your cumulative score hits 50,000 and numbers with a divisor of 50,000 (such as 100,000 and 150,000), you get an extra life.
The expansion does not really add anything: monsters seem out of touch, music, ending are nothing compared to the original. Skip this and go straight from Diablo to Diablo II which is another pure marvel.
2nd shipment got a FAKE one. Game arrived with a wrong key inside on sealed box. I got in contact with codemasters and send them pictures of the DVD and the content. They said nothing they can do its a fake DVD.
8063 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This 1st-person-shooter game has you taking on the role of Alexander Munro (or the lovely Alexandra) an ensign aboard Star Treks USS Voyager. When Voyager was catapulted into a distant corner of the galaxy far beyond any hope of reinforcements Tuvok, the ships executive officer, formed the Hazard Team, an elite corps of Starfleet commandos capable of facing any threat. Armed with a variety of weapons and trained to operate equipment on any alien starship, the team stands ready against whatever the Delta Quadrant can throw at it. Unfortunately, Munro is a bit too impulsive (as s/he proves at the end of the first level), and stands to be kicked off the team. Instead, fate intervenes and the team is forced to take Munro along when the ship is snared by an alien ship and brought through an iso-dimensional rift into a vast graveyard of other alien ships. With Voyager too severely damaged and drained of power to escape, the Hazard Team is pressed into duty - boarding other ships in a desperate attempt to learn the secret of the aliens that hijacked their ship, and to find the means to escape. The game relies on both alien races both familiar (Klingon, Malon, Hirogen and Borg) and new. The levels aren't too long or complicated, and a tight storyline beautifully keeps the game running. Between the missions is a mix of cut-scenes (using the game engine, ala JK2) and interactive scenes in which you prowl the halls and lounges of the Voyager and mingle with its crew.
That said the fact that the game is literally over before it even begins is a bit of a buzz kill. Super Mario Land 2 may be longer than a title like Kirby's Dream Land but it's still short enough to undertake in a single, dedicated sit down or two which is a bit a disappointing. Younger players will obviously find more challenging than teens and adults but this should hardly deter anyone from playing it, especially when one considers it's rather easy to procure and doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some these older games do. Don't let the game's age fool you, it can easily go toe-to-toe with anything released before or after it without batting an eyelash.
21 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This installment introduces some unusual elements to the series -- mainly the "instinct" gauge, which lets you look through walls and avoid raising suspicions, but I sort of miss the older approach where keeping your distance and hiding your face did the trick. (Plus you have to refill said gauge by disabling or killing enemies to be able to use it once it runs out). The visuals are vastly improved from Blood Money of course, and I appreciate their allowing me to play with my gamepad.

8418 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ...damn good but with just a little too much thickness to go down right.
9168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic fighting game for the snes. It has finishing moves similar to the fatalities in Mortal Kombat. It's a fun fighter.
NFS has had the best racing car simulaters out. The 4th addition to this amazing series is probably the best. It has a wide variety of companies and their vehicles such as, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, and even MacLaren. The tracks are far beyond any other, with great scenery and sound effects. You can race in countries like USA, Canada, Germany, France, and the UK.
This series actually predates Resident Evil...but followed Alone in the Dark and Sweet Home. (Japan only game from Capcom.)

Tecmo Super Bowl is a fun game to play and a great trip down memory lane. If you're a retro gamer and you love football, this is a must own and a very reasonably priced game to boot.

3342 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Being a South Park fan, I was looking forward to this title. However, it is SO repetitive and annoying...the turkey level alone goes on FOREVER. Friends of mine have had the same reaction. It's a first-person shooter (or should we say first-person snowballer) that just has you running around the town of South Park throwing snowballs at turkeys. Yeah, I know, according to the packaging, that the game evolves into some sort of space/zombie creature thing, and you're supposed to save the town, but I never got that far due to the overlong turkey-shooting level...when I saw the average 4-star rating, I knew I had to respond. Perhaps younger people will like this due to the character tie-in, but this 34-year-old was bored and disappointed in this title.
5422 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like the title says best mortal kombat game i've ever played, and I've played them all, i really don't care for mk x or 9 or any that came out after mk 4, they change the fighting mechanics and I'm a pro at the combo which they should have kept, Mk 9 and x look good but has terrible gameplay compared to triology, only 12 care about graphics more than gameplay, Mk having all these characters freddy Kruger, and predator, and jason Voorhees, which is really stupid, and those brutalites they just look like fatalities compared to mk trology brutalities, and you get to play as boss charcters without beatingvthe game or putting in any codes, I've beating every ladder, so much fun, i recommend you buy than any othe mk game.
The fighting is awsome when you connect on a hyper combo, you can go from 10 hits to 30 and beyond! If you are very good you might be able to connect on a good aerial combo. Sure this ain't no Marvel VS Capcom 2 but this is still a great game. The last boss is Onslaught which I find to be pretty hard and frustrating at times, the modes in this game are
Overall, this is a great game for all ages, for single players or multiplayers & there is no cussin', killin' or flashin'!

Plus, said monsters are fully changeable. You can give them a name, teach them special fighting skills, and even control how much they grow. This makes them much better than hamsters as pets go.
Simply put this game is the business, from the introduction sequence, the alien AI, the graphics and the smooth gameplay there is nothing better. Buy it.

You should not expect to pay much for a used Dreamcast. They usually fetch around $30 - $60 along with a few games on Amazon or eBay. The new ones (or the ones being sold as "new") are quite a bit pricier. New controllers and VMUs are going for less than $10. Many of the games are still affordable, but rarer ones such as PowerStone 1 & 2 still command high prices. To contrast; When I got my PS2, I was able to get a lot of the games for $5 - $20 each. But quality Dreamcast games that are still in good condition are costing me $10 - $40. I also invested in a VGA adapter to get the best picture (which is well worth its price) as well as some PS2 & Saturn -> Dreamcast controller adapters (great for all those fighting games). All-in-all, for a great Dreamcast experience and to get the collection going with some great games, you will certainly be paying more than what you would for a comparable PS2 collection.
Personally, I think the guitar works way better than voice did in Parappa. It just feels more like making music. And although the game can at times be frustratingly difficult, the whole experience is much more accessible (again, just my opinion) than games that use controllers that resemble musical instruments. There's no music technique involved on the basic level other than a sense of timing and the ability to hit the button you're supposed to in sequence. But again, it CAN be really difficult.
5859 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This expansion pack is definitely a great item to add to your rollercoaster tycoon game. Just remember that this expansion has nothing truly major in it like graphic or sound enhancements. This is simply more scenarios, rides, and a few other tweaks. I recommend buying this, but do not be dissapointed if you were expecting a full blown game expansion.
Its just an overall interesting experience, especially if you want to see what started it all. :)
7825 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game was great it reminded me when I was a teen and I played the game. Good experience ge works great.
You will also build up Terry's stats:
Games of the platforming genre aren't exactly known for their amazing stories, and Banjo fares no different. Banjo's little sister Tooty is kidnapped by the stereotypical green witch Gruntilda. She has some sort of weird machine that will supposedly transfer Tooty's beauty to herself, and this will leave Banjo's poor sister ugly in the process! So Banjo and his grumpy bird friend Kazooie (who for some reason lives in Banjo's backpack) set out to Gruntilda's lair to save Tooty. The story doesn't take itself very seriously at all but there's a great, humorous tone to it that more than makes up for the lack of depth.
7892 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There's a reason this is considered one of the best games of all time. What can I say that hasn't already been said? I missed out on this game when it first came out and finally discovered it when I bought an SNES in 2002. It quickly became one of my favorite games ever but honestly don't play it that much anymore. At that time The Chemical Brothers had just released their album Come With Us so I have vivid memories of that album every time I play this game. I eventually discovered various hacks that people had done and love what they came up with, it really helped bring a renewed interest for me.
4525 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Music games aren't just another genre, they're another universe. Inside that category you have everything from hit-the-button-at-exactly-the-right-moment of Space Channel 5 to the ensemble jamming of Rock Band. But once upon a time before music games were all that popular there was a cute funny Japanese title called Parappa the Rapper for the Playstation that redefined what could make a good game. It featured cute animals in a wacky story that required you to push the buttons in time to the music, but also let you freestyle and improvise to a degree to get the highest scores. The songs were strange but extremely catchy, and the characters were so lovable that people who were looking for something different couldn't help but love it.
First, I am very disappointed that no guides were made for the older Zelda games, i.e. Zelda I and II for NES, Link to the Past for SNES, LInk's Awakening for Gameboy, etc. I wouldn't even mind if they threw several games into one or two books to make it more efficient - it would just have been nice to have guides for every Zelda game in one set.
The entire object of the game is to eventually beat down some creature made entirely out of gum. That's fine and all, but the game engine doesn't support the appropriate controls for combat of this nature let alone the simple and obvious fact that the missions really don't relate enough to put two and two together to get to a climatic battle with the gum monster. The missions just seem totally random in purpose; and this doesn't account for the fact that simply completing the main game missions only adds up to just under 50% of the entire completion rating for the game. Seeing as how annoying this game is, I can't see any reason to try to complete 100% of the game.
If you love arcade racers with more stuff to do on the side, you should pick this one. It's a blast to play through and you can have your friends play along as well. RECOMMENDED
Bottom line: A superior, very entertaining adventure marred slightly by minor glitches.
I suggest get a Saturn, (it is only $10 bucks or less) get a 4MB RAM cart which you can find at EB.com, or any Video game store, and get the Import version of X-men vs. Street Fighter, trust me you won't be disappointed.
Value: 9/10 - Value for money indeed! Once you've finished, you'll want to start all over again!
Imperial Freighter Suprosa: 10/10 - Fun level thats swarming with stormtroopers. The final boss is pretty long and monotonous though.
The cons of this game are mostly technical, nothing to do with the graphics or storyline. First of all, the camera can be a servere pain sometimes. It often lingers when you don't want it to, and the response time for panning and scanning is pertty bad.
4734 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an awesome game and was worth getting it for my PS2 to have with my other Castlevania games. I just love the sound track and the graphics for it's time were very good. The only complaint I have is that when you die you don't get a continue and you have to wait through a death screen and then have to go through reloading your file all over again. Other than that this game is a classic, one of the best Castlevania games.
Princess Zelda is trapped somewhere in a deep dungeon, and talks to a young boy named Link through his dreams. She is asking him for help...But where is she? Link's uncle rushes out into the stormy night and to Hyrule Castle, and Link secretly follows, but only to find his uncle lying on the ground in the castle! This is only the beginning of the adventure...
9388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I originally let a friend borrow my original copy of this game, then later she told me she lost this and several other of my games which made me mad. So I'm lucky to have this again. Play as Simba from the movie if your stuck sometimes watching the movie helped me out as a kid. =)
It should also be noted that the Playstation One had a bunch of similar zombie games available when the console was popular, but almost every one of them went by unnoticed. The Resident Evil series was simply too popular and fun for any imitations to catch on and gain success. Then again, I haven't really played any of the games that supposedly rip off the RE series, so they might be worth playing as far as I know.
9078 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I knew sheer bliss playing this game, it made 2d gaming look amazing, and the Super Nintendo appeared impossibly, invincibly powerful. A great, classic game, I just wish they made games like it for Gamecube...

5667 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rayman 2 is a solid platform game with awesome, graphics, sounds, music, and gameplay. While it is not perfect, I think it is a much better platform game for dreamcast than the irritating Sonic Adventure. The plot is decent, and unlike Sonic Adventure and its obnoxiously awful "adventure mode," you can just get to the next level instead of wandering around aimlessly or watching incredibly bad cut scenes in which nothing happens. When you first play, the graphics will mesmerize you. The even run at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second, and the worlds are incredibly cool-looking and surreal. Whether you are foot-skiing through swamps or descending into a lava zone, the graphics will always catch your eye. The sound is excellent too. All the characters have an amusing babble that's always funny to listen to, and the music is top- notch (especially in the bayou). The gameplay is also fun, if a bit linear. It is always fun to explore the big levels and fight enemies with the game's easy controls.
So, a great game, but not without its flaws.
I had my doubts about this game. I started off playing Rogue Squadron, then Naboo, and Racer, both Racer and Naboo lost their reply value after a week for me, but RS is one I will always go back to now and then... So I thought I might give Shadows Of The Empire a go. I had low expectations for it, but actually comparing it to RS is useless because this version is completely different to RS and BFN! It surprised me when I got to the 2nd stage and it had gone Golden eye style! You run around as a guy named Dash, you start with a laser, but you can find missiles, proton thingies, stun guns and my favorite that just blows half the room away, I dunno what it was called but it's great...oh, and a flame thrower!!! Would have been nice if the enemies caught fire or something, instead of act like the where shot, but it's still cool.
Poor boss fights
1768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Man...I have loved this game since 1996...I got this and a bunch of other essential PS-1 Games for christmas. This was an abvious favorite (Besides the first Resident evil and Treasures of the Deep) with 3-d layout and practical free range of the level i was jumping around and having fun for hours breaking boxes and running from boulders! This is really the only game that gives Mario and Sonic a run for their money! Now i love those titles as well but i was a PS-1 guy as of 1996 for sure! there are those that claim Crash 2 is a better game...I have to disagree, i think it's just an add more short levels version of this. My girlfriends niece and nephew love this game! Even being in the x-box and WI generations :) and that works for me. Ill be sure to show my child this and other old school gems when they are born too!
3983 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I LOVED Theme Park and Theme Hospital, RCT is the best Sim game around so I had high hopes that Theme Park World (as its called in the UK) would go one step further.
1886 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i have all the PS1 spyro games, and i love them the newer games not so much. This is one of my favorite PS1 series of games, and i'd recommend all of these games to anyone in a heartbeat. This is a family friendly title, and a good game to own. Some of the game was a little challenging for me at first. i remember the ads, and wanting to have this game and the un-wasted excitement when i finally held the case in my hands.
1392 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I recently tried playing this game, and by this point, my N64 is lucky it didn't get chucked out the window. The first few passes through the first few stages were fine, and pretty fun, but the rest of the game ends up being one long, annoying, tedious, impossible, and frustrating chore.
So I can't really say I wholly recommend this one, considering there's that other release for the same system.
3) Great online for the time. It's old now, but back when it came out it was awesome.
1254 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best action game for the Playstation that I have ever played. During the game, you play and Crash and his sister Coco. Their goal is to compete 25 levels to get all of the crystals needed to defeat Neo Cortex. For every five levels there is also a boss that must be defeated. Defeating each boss gives Crash a new 'power move' that will be needed in upcoming levels. There are also five 'bonus' levels in the game. The levels have Crash and Coco running, swimming, flying planes and spaceships, and riding tigers, jetskis, dinosaurs, and harleys. For an additional challenge, you can try to get the one or two gems that are found on each level. This usually requires smashing all of the boxes found on the level. For an even greater challenge, you can try to get the relic found on each level by racing thru the level under a specified amount of time.
126 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it! Use it all the time. Really works perfectly with all games that you need a mic for.
355 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It does what it's supposed to do, charge a GBA Micro. Quality of materials is low and the plug to the GBA Micro is a tight fit but for $4 I wouldn't complain too much. If you need a new charger for your GBA Micro then this will get the job done.
4616 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game sucks ass. period. The new vehicles are ok sometimes, but all are slow and horrible to control. The new powerups are retarded , such as skis to go over water but at an even slower pace by 5 times. The old vehicles, and kooky characters are all gone, as is the storyline and anything else fun from the original. Oh, by the way, this was also made by a different company, which is the reason for all this horribleness. So , in summation, stick to the first on e til they come out with a 3rd one on a new system.
Reading text and having boring discussions with Zelda, trees and other semi-interesting characters doesn't get the job done either. Ganon even seems significantly less threatening than usual (that one conversation with Zelda and Link with Ganon patrolling the hallways nearby in Hyrule Castle comes to mind here). I will admit that some of the flame-covered cutscenes involving Ganon riding his horse is very intimidating. The cutscene outside the bridge of Hyrule Castle comes to mind here. Otherwise, Ganon's presented uninterestingly. You're *supposed* to get a feeling of hopelessness that Ganon is going to take over the world and wipe the people out but... due to a culmination of the above mentioned problems, Ganon being a ruthless villain doesn't ever materialize (at least, he's not as scary as he *should* be).
The game has appearances by David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi, Steven Williams, and William B. Davis.
-While the action itself is outstanding, I thought that X4's stages, in comparison to other games, are WAY TOO SHORT, EASY, AND LINEAR. There's only one path, and the continue points make all the stages shorter. Jet Stingray's stage can be beaten in less than two minutes, which to me seems like the programmers are just being lazy. Plus, there are not very many secrets, and all of them are rather easy to find. Not bad, but a letdown from X3's more complex level structures and secret collecting.
Using the same attention to detail as in its Flight Simulator series - indeed, you can import "worlds" from the civilian game to this war one - Combat Flight Simulator allows you to fly in two Campaigns, The Battle of Britain and The Battle for Europe, as a pilot in the RAF, Luftwaffe, or USAAF (U.S. Army Air Forces).

I really love this game and love how unique it is and how different it is from other Final Fantasy games. I remember when I first played the game, it was a little intimidating at first because I didn't understand the whole draw system and drawing of magic and how you had to manage your stats with the magic you got from the drawing. But I became pretty good with it pretty quickly and now I love it. This game also punishes you for leveling up your characters since the enemies level up with you. I find this just as awesome as leveling up in other games since it really takes no more time to draw magic than to grind. A lot of battles I am in for close to an hour since I'm drawing of magic but to me, that's nothing to complain about. I love it!
Some of the more advanced features are a bit difficult to figure out, but there are numerous web sites out there that will quickly guide you through those situations. For most of the game, it's incredibly easy to learn, and the status screens tell you at a glance what is going on.
Everybody says this game has fantastic graphics, but really it looks like a pokemon game boy game which is why I took off a star.
1587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic! Old school classic!
Of course, the major improvement over GoldenEye 007 is the multiplayer feature which is fun, and do to a wider range of weapons the gamer is allowed to execute new strategies, so overall Perfect Dark really is an expansion of GoldenEye 007 as well as being a great gaming experience by itself.
366 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It didn't work. Do not buy
This is perhaps why Silent Hill is more effective as a horror game than other titles. The events that occur in the game is not of natural phenomena that can be explained by science like what we have with Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark, nor is the problem as simple as trying to outrun a serial killer like what you have in Clock Tower.
- You can unlock a mode that lets you Customize your intro (by picking who will be in the intro of the game at which points)
Super Mario Land took the same game play mechanics of Super Mario Bros for the NES, added a few familiar enemies while bringing in new ones, changed some power ups and introduced a new princess to rescue. As Mario, you stomp on enemies, collect power ups and coins through 4 worlds each with 4 levels. To switch things up, you control an airplane and a submarine on a few stages and this time Bowser isn't the main villain you're after.
8177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game and very challenging if you never played it before.

6030 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, after reading most of the reviews below, I'm going to break my review down into a list of pro points and con points.
You can chat with other players and team up to dispatch baddies, or go solo adventuring. The game works equally well for teams and solos. Some dungeons are geared specifically for solos, some for teams... but it's up to you to discover which is which.
3473 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you truly love games and miss the times when consoles were developed with only gamers in mind, then this is your thing. It has countless great games for it. And even the crappy games are charming in their own way.
9328 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A fine example of simple, yet fantastic gameplay, storytelling, and challenge. Graphics are top notch and the melodies are certainly memorable. There's plenty to do and explore. There's a certain magic to the "Zelda" series and this installment carries it proudly. A wonderful title to have in anyone's game library.
The CONS: While the game was good, you can't help to think that just when you were getting into the game, it's over. It was because it was super short compared to Super Mario Bros. And just like the NES game, you had to beat the game in one shot without any password system or battery backed save progress to mark your progress.
*Good for learning stratiegic(sp?) skills
8017 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After you have played through Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 3 on regular Nintendo so many times that you basically have all the levels memorized, and you still want more, then it is time to switch over to Super Nintendo and play the next equally as awesome Mario game in the series - Super Mario World.
Music 10/10 Aewsome music! the music is crystal clear!
now you have to read & click to read the rest of the dialogue. I like how as you got higher into the game the stages actually got harder.
Gameplay: (5/5) - Very smoothe, even with 56k(online).
795 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remembered a time my older brother borrowed this game from a friend of his. I liked it so much but when it came to the time for my brother to give it back i was upset. But no worries I was 7 at the time when that happened now that I'm older i was able to buy my own copy.
3409 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived quickly and as described.
Also I heard a rumor that there is going to be a sequal called Super Mario 128. I hope it is even better than Super Mario 64 with harder challenges and more levels. Lets hope it has some of the things we love about Mario 64 plus great new surprises.
It first hit stores in the U.S in September of 1999 and Sega was on a role with such titles as Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur but the Dreamcast Ultimatley fails with not enough Sales because of the oh so popular Playstation 2. Ps2 was beating the DC really bad which cause Sega to lose lots of sales but sega wouldn't go down with a fight as they bring some of the best games ever to kick The ps2 out of buisness but with lots and lots of advertising utlimatley...The Dreamcast had bin defeated. Later some were between the year of 2000-2001 Sega announces that they will stop making DC and stop making Games for it and become a 3rd party game team.
9963 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Truly amazing game. I played this game so much back in the 90's that I memorized and mastered everything about it. The music is catchy and the game is just plain fun!! I can't tell you how many hours I logged with it. When I decided to get rid of the Sega Genesis, I still kept this game, even after I had no way to play it, it was THAT good.
6925 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this game way back when the N64 was in its heyday. I thought it wasn't very good and traded it in. Now I see somebody is trying to sell it for $89.95! If anybody is considering buying Quest 64 at this ridiculous price, I urge them to think twice. There are plenty of far, far better games for your money. I know there weren't that many RPGs for the N64 but that doesn't make this game a classic IMHO. You'd be better off looking for some of the excellent SNES RPGs like FF II and III or Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past.
HAPPY GAMING
- Samurai Showdown
4. Vast game!... if you do everything, it totals around 100 hours!...
The only reason I marked this game down a star is all the similarities with the NES game. Now, the next 2 (Tecmo Super Bowl II and III) allowed things like FA and trades, and definitely made the game much deeper. In fact, Tecmo Super Bowl II is one of the harder SNES games to get your hands on because of limited production, and if you were looking to get one, go after it instead.
144 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works!
6683 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just what I ordered. Great game!
Insanely difficult game play.
Sound/Music: No voice acting (till X) but again we have another great soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu. Anyone who's ever listened to the soundtracks knows that he's hit and miss and for one amazing track like Liberi Fatali, Man With the Machine Gun or the Extreme, there's completely average and even bad tracks. But it's got a bit more thematic similarities from track to track so it's more consistent.
The game is either extremely easy, or it is annoying like Big's is. The game can be flown through. The only thing that keeps the length up is the multiple characters. Even with all the characters, this game can easily be beat within 2 days. I know the game is based for a younger audience, but it could offer a little challenge. The only hard part in the entire game is the final 7th character you unlock.
2431 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can't own a N64 and not have this classic game.
7163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Somebody says that video games makes killers and adds violence.
It's also tedious to have to play through it again. I think it's a mood-game; you're likely to bore through the WHOLE thing when you're in the mood, and that sounds extreme.
If choosing between DK1 and DK2, I'd definitely recommend people get this game. The challenges and gameplay in DK2 are better than DK1, and DK1 has many new extra features like Pet Dungeons.
2503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Duke Nukem games are old and repetitive. But you know what? WHO CARES!? No matter how old and repetitive Duke Nukem gets, it's still awesome. That's due to the fact that DUke Nukem can make ANYTHING and EVERYTHING look good. Hell, he can even make taking a dump look awesome! The one thing I've noticed about Duke over the years is that he doesn't have and hair on his balls, then I realized that hair doesn't grow on steel!
4675 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i could trick the computer into selling me its property for 150 or 200 dallors i own the entire board against the computer
The only problem is that the music could have been better. It's not bad, I mean, it SOUNDS really good, but most of the themes don't really impress me. They're still pretty catchy (you will remember them after you turn off the game) but... I don't know. Just not the kind of music you'd expect to hear in a Mario game. It's like Nintendo wanted to progress the typical Mario themes into something bigger. Actually, the music is like a soundtrack to a children's book.
- A version of this game was also made on the P.C
3755 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Adventure is the best game on Dreamcast and the game in the world. I love all sonic games this is great. The fastest on Dreamcast. A Sega Dreamcast classic.
The PROS: You get the original Super Mario Bros, a You Vs. Boo mode where you race against a ghost through some of the game stages, a 2 player VS mode where you and another place race against each other (connected via the cable link), a Challenge mode where for each stage you have to find 5 red coins, a Yoshi egg and beat the high score. There's also extra content like the ability to print images from the GB printer (sold separately), a program that tells you where the Yoshi eggs are hidden, a built in calendar and a fortune teller program.
4069 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ever wanted to be a scientist, but never had the aptitude for it? Ever wanted to join the Army or the Marines, but couldn't because you were flat-footed? Well, you can rejoice now, because Half-Life will solve both those problems with one blow. You start off as an intelligent scientist named Gordon Freeman. You work at a place called Black Mesa, which is like Area 51. After an informative train-ride, you get off, have some chit-chat with the guards and get your suit. I was very impressed with how professional the level looked. Security guards, retina scanners, the works. This ain't your local bank. After getting your suit, you go to a room where an experiment is about to take place. You're a crucial part of it. But wait, the scientists are sounding as if something might go wrong. And then you push the specimen into the beam and . . . and shortly after that you'll be experiencing one of the finest moments in video game history. Remember that nice-looking level I was telling you about? Now visualize it with HEAVY damage, dead or dying scientists and guards and aliens popping out of thin air. AND YOU HAVE NO WEAPON! This is no Quake cake-walk with John Wayne heroics. You'll be CRAWLING in FEAR for most of the game. I think one of the main things that made this game popular was this: It touched on the common fear of going into the unknown and feeling ill-prepared for what lies ahead. Sure, you might have 200 rounds on the MP5, a rocket launcher, and whatever else, but believe me, it won't last long (especially on hard mode). Another thing that this game touched on was this: The fear of small spidery-creatures and large, ugly, T-Rex things that can run faster than you. Believe me when I say you'll jump when you stick your head in a tunnel and a snark or headcrab jumps out at you. After a while you manage to arm yourself and try and make it to the surface . . . only to find that Marines are attacking Black Mesa in an effort to cover up the severe accident! So now we have this ugly Bermuda Triangle of Marines, Aliens, and You. The Aliens are just plain bad. You're just trying to get your innocent rear-end out of there. And the Marines are just following orders. Makes for one whopper of a story and a game. But not all is run-and-gun. MANY times you'll be jumping like Mario, making well-timed decisions, and solving puzzles. But besides all that, there are three other things about this game that I like: 1)A flashlight. It's ABOUT TIME someone did something to light those dark levels. 2)Humor. Guards goof around with experimental technology--with disastrous results. 3)Well-lighted levels overall. The only FPS I've seen with more light is Serious Sam. Very rarely will you be squinting your eyes in this game. To wrap things up, my favorite levels are the beginning one and the one entitled Surface Tension. Despite some wonderful level design in this game, I really hated the alien levels. Sure, they LOOKED nice, but when you start playing them it's a different story. Also, the two endings are too short and unsatisfactory. But overall this is a GREAT game, worth getting even now (especially if you haven't played it before), despite the fact that Return to Castle Wolfenstein (and other FPS's) are around the corner.
No replay value, short single player campaign, strictly-online multiplayer, and the fact that you''ll probably have to be buying the sequel that gets crapped out next year?
Most of these games would no longer be worthwhile on their own except as nostalgia (KQ6 and 7 (and maybe 5) being the exceptions), but as one package this is a wonderful buy and leaves one hoping that a KQ9 will come out and repair the damage caused by that travesty, KQ8.
2) Controls. Games these days usually let you customize your button layout. This is not nescesarry with Ocarina of Time. The N64 controller fits any hand perfectly, and the buttons you want are always right where you want them to be. It is very easy to learn and (except for its sibling Majora's Mask), easier to use than any other game. No crazy button combos to memorize. No wiggling of the joystick to perform random tasks. Just simple, logical, purposeful, buttons. Perhaps in the future it will change, but even after Skyward Sword, I, and many other people still prefer the buttons to the Wii mote. If you like playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl with a gamecube controller rather than the nunchuck, you will definetly prefer this. And unlike Mario64, the cammera follows you perfectly.
2445 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 while melee is by far my favorite, brawl and the original come close. one has nostalgic value, while one is a good way to continue the series. I love the game whether i am alone or with friends
7252 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another hit by the famous Shiguru Miyamoto (is that the correct spelling?) and this one really might be a mixed bag for some. If your part of that Zero G Racing crowd, you might want to check this out before buying it. The biggest flaw with Zero G racing was that is had bad framerates and you could blow others up, which was really unfair, since it was just dumb luck. However, in this game, you are actually pitted against a certain skill that hasn't been used in a while, racing. Yes, you actually have to use your racing skills in this game to succeed and you have to try many different ships in which your skills are of use. Going against 8 foes in other games were nice, but imagine going 29 other opponents. You can kill them, but skill is required in which to do so. First you must wear down thier shield and then put in the final blow, but if your not careful, you could be the one ending up dead. Besides racing against all these foes, you also are going at neck breaking speeds which you must conquer before you claim your victory. With 30 ships to pick from, each unique in speed, acceleration and traction, you will find fun almost impossible to avoid.
There's no reason to doubt me and countless other gamers out there that consider this the Holy Grail of CRPG's, there is a reason for that. The reason is that Baldur's Gate is one of those special games that you will be proud to own and look back on it in another 20 years as the "genre-reviving","genre-breaking" masterpiece that it truly is.
Yes, it's old and the graphics are showing their wrinkles; the pathfinding will make you sigh in annoyance; there will be some crashes; it will need some patching; but this game is worth it and more. I don't know if this sort of appeal works with gamers who are more interested in wiping out Nazis than experiencing a game that contains one of the greatest stories ever told, but it has great appeal to those who are ready to discover something astounding. This is poetry.
Overall, this is a great game with a few shortcomings. But then again, nothing is perfect. If the Survival Horror concept sounds appealing, then you should check this one out. The "Resident Evil" series has become the benchmark of Survival Horror much like "Final Fantasy" has for the RPG genre.
695 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my favorite game growing up so there was no question I had to get it when my wife found her old N64. I got it used but it works great and starts up with no problems. Works just as good as it did when I was a kid.
Lasting Appeal F
The music is just plain eerie, and the lighting and graphics are pretty good. I was also quite surprised that such a game would be on a console that *mostly* kids used, the n64. But anyways, the game is cool and you should buy it.
4027 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It wasn't labeled "Game Of The Year" in it's day for no reason. It was the basis for spawning the decade+ long running classic online shooter "Counter Strike".
9520 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I own the original for nes but this one for the snes is really fun, great pricing, fast shipping, no problems during game play, cant beat it, thanks.
GREATEST FIGHTING GAME EVER ONLY ON THE DREAMCAST!
In Banjo Kazooie you play as Banjo and...well...Kazooie, and Kazooie stays inside Banjo's backpack at all times, but she's not useless. They both work as a team and learn many moves, which brings us to our next character, Bottles. Bottles the mole helps you learn different moves to help you defeat Gruntilda and rescue Tooty. But do you just walk up to Gruntilda and save Tooty? Not at all, there are several items to collect to defeat Gruntilda. The most important one is jiggies, there are ten jiggies in each world and you need several items to collect them. Along the way Bottles teaches you to use certain items, such as eggs to shoot through Kazooie's mouth, or how to fly when you collect enough feathers. Another essential item to collect is mumbo tokens. Gruntilda has hidden mumbo tokens all around her enormous lair and if you collect enough you can visit the great shaman Mumbo Jumbo and he will transform you into different creatures to help you along your journey. So you have plenty to do in this game, I can guarantee that. Another essential item are music notes, in each world one hundred music notes are scattered all around and if you collect enough you can open new doors in Gruntilda's massive lair. But I do find it to become quite tedious sometimes. Why? You may ask. Because each time you leave and re-enter a world all the notes are still there, no matter how many you've collected. Let's say you've collected ninety-nine out of the hundred possible music notes to collect, well if you leave the world and re-enter, you would have to collect all ninety nine notes again, you couldn't go searching for the one music note you hadn't collected. And while yet this situation is highly unlikely, it's still annoying no matter how many notes you have to re-collect. Fortunately, if you don't care about collecting all one hundred music notes, you don't have to because the game automatically saves the amount you've collected.
When I first heard about Q3 and UT, I expected Q3 to be better by a wide margin, because Q2 was so much more fun than the original Unreal. Q3 is definitely a great game, but it's obvious that UT delivers far more value out of the box. UT comes with 2 or 3 times as many levels as Q3, but manages to make them all very different. Almost every level in Q3, on the other hand, relies on the same limited palette of colors and textures, and many are barely distinguishable. You almost get the sense that UT ought to cost twice as much as Q3, because at least twice as much effort seems to have gone into the game.
I am not disappointed. Although it's been many years since I've played Killer Instinct, it holds its own even against modern fighters like Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Soul Calibur II, and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core.
You earn more weapons as you progress including pistols, harpoon gun, uzis, shotgun and M16. You can drive motorboats, ski mobiles.
Still a great console for its time and tons of great multiplayer titles and of course the Mario & Zelda games. Would be an awesome first console for younger kids. It's still cheap and most games can be had from $5-40.
N64 lasted very well....It had a great long journey of games....Never will this system be forgoten...But this system ain't No Dreamcast I can tell ya that but then again this system came out a few years before Dreamcast..
4745 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'll state from the outset that my background in RPGs is limited. Sure, I had friends who would gather together on Friday or Saturday nights to play pen and paper D&D, but I was never among them. Occasionally, however, I did enjoy playing computer-based Role-playing games (the three Bard's Tale adventures).

6214 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blade Runner is a game by Westwood Studio's, the great people who brought you Command & Conquer and a studio always breaking new grounds in technology. This game was great, becasue a number of reasons. One, because you don't even have to like the movie to play this game, nor do you have to see it to play the game. Second, it really has many effects that really put you in the world of this cop/detective. Third, the cinema scenes are awesome and run smoothly even on older systems and really add quite a movie-esque feel to this. But that's not all, it has 6 different endings, depending on who you talk to or what you do during the game. It's really ashame to see such a great game with cutting edge technology on it's background and nobody really knew of this game. It's like a Zelda game comming out, but not noticed. Even if you didn't know about this epic game, you shouldn't doubt it's style, because it has everything you could want in a game. The soundtrack is awesome, the graphics (even though the characters are a bit pixilized)are awesome, and the replay value is over the hill. I've played this game over 8 times and still havn't seen all the endings. With the cheap price they're asking, why not give it a try, you won't be sorry.
8024 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is one of the most overrated games of the Mario series. First of all, it's extremely difficult and frustrating. There's always been a problem with Mario games concerning the controls, they're slippery and not responsive enough for the difficulty of the game. Also the fact that the only attack Mario can do is jump on his enemies, at least in this game which isn't enough arsenal for the amount of enemies that are set against you at one time (armies of them). I know people who have been stuck on the same level for years and it makes me wonder why people bother with this game.
Overall, if you are looking for a 2D side-scrolling platformer with some action RPG elements mixed in well, like some of those old but good NES action RPGs, this should be your thing...especially if you want a platformer with a more mature, refined taste. Definitely something that can be picked up easily again and again, even after long periods of withdrawal.
The levels of this game are amazing. Each one you have to unlock by getting a Boss key. (I'll talk about that later in my review) There are eight worlds, Jungle Japes, Angry Aztec, Frantic Factory, Gloomy Galleon, Fungi Forest, Crystal Caves, Creepy Castle and Hideout Helm. You have to get enough regular bananas and golden bananas to unlock the boss. Then you defeat the boss to get a boss key to get to the next world.

are able to have a great amount of control over what team members assist
The sound department is okay, however. The music, while far from great, wasn't too bad. The compositions were several notches behind that of Final Fantasy Tactics (which quite possibly has the most powerful soundtrack ever), and so is the sound quality. However, the music still gets you into the mood right, and it won't put you to sleep. The sound effects are also pretty good, and sound rather real.
For 1989 and for the early years of the Gameboy these graphics aren't bad. While they look like something seen on a graphing calculator they're not bad considering its age.
BUY this if you want a platformer(after Crash 1 and 2).
The great thing about this game is that it is non-linear, and you can switch between good or evil as the whim takes you. However, it became evident after quite some playing time that I had not developed my initial character's attributes or skills in the direction I wanted to take, so with the knowledge gained, I started again with a character who relied less on strength and endurance, but was more intelligent and perceptive (but not too weak, as some of the best perks have minimum requirements). This tradeoff made the initial stages very difficult, but really paid off later. Choosing three Tag skills was hard - scientific skills, both medical and technological, were more important than some combat skills, and quickly developed thievery skills were essential, as everything was so expensive, but these were useless without good weapons, negotiation and survival skills. A thorough reading of the excellent, spiral-bound (yippee!) manual before developing your character really saves a lot of time. And watch the wonderful introductory scenes for a lot of clues.
Gameplay B
Hyrule is a vast world. One of your in-game guides tells you that "You can go wherever you want." That's true, to a point. There's a lot of exploration in Ocarina of Time. The game is always trying to point you toward a certain place, but whether or not you go there is often up to you. In an interactive world such as Hyrule, you can do many things. Why go see what's on Death Mountain when you could pour water into all of the soil patches in Hyrule? Or why go play the Shadow Temple -- which does not have any attractive Gerudo women -- when you could go to the Spirit Temple, which does? The exploration is one of OoT's best features, and it's probably better than any Zelda which came after it.
Overall, DCK3 is a solid platformer game. It suffers in reviews because it lacks the originality of the first and the huge gameplay leaps of the second, but nothing about this title is remotely buggy or broken. Lots of levels and environments to traverse, and Rare included some interesting scenarios this time around that mix up the normal 'run and jump' gameplay (reversed controls, riding a rocket that needs constant refueling, dodge lightning, etc). There are memorable boss fights and an overworld filled with secrets that is explored through upgradable vehicles. There's even a family of bears scattered across the world that will help you if locate the right items for them.
8641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome! I love the spinny thing he does to get through areas that mysteriously turn into loops. Totally different from anything you've experienced on a game!
The thing that makes this game so adicttive to survival horror junkies like myself is the claustrophobic action, Throughout the game you have the idea in the back of your head that nemesis could be, and usually is, behind every corner. For some this good, for some this is bad. Some people enjoy walking through the city for hours and not having to worry about running themselves out of herbs and ammo every ten minutes. However, for most others it adds a great suspensful feeling to the game, and makes you feel more and more like your action do matter a great deal.
6212 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game sets itself apart from other games in the adventure genre, mainly due to the fact that it is so realistic. Gameplay is anything but linear and the sound of the character voices and environments is great. Good cut scenes as well. Most importantly, the game has multiple endings, so replay value is high. Don't miss out on this classic, which does the movie and the book proud.
1575 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 First of all, the graphics suck. The characters suck. Everything sucks in this one. My brother paid ten dollars for this game. I wouldn't of paid a penny. Rent it if you dare. Terrible game.
Paladin: A holy crusader, the Paladin fights with faith and the light of truth as his weapons(as well as his sword and shield). He casts holy magicin the form of auras. Don't underestimate him...he can be a strong warrior. Sorceress: Though skilled with weaponry, the sorceress uses elemental spells as her mane weapons. Wielding ice, fire and lightning, she is a demons worst nightmare. All of the charecters have them own advantages and flaws, but they are all great and real fun to play as. Combat and Control: Control is great in this game. You simply click were you want to go and your charecter will move. You can also make them run(though this uses up stamina) which is a big advantage when you need to escape a horde of enemies quickly. You use a two mouse button combat control(unless you use mac). The control of each button is fully customisible. Combat is every where and you can't go a minute without fighting(wether small skirmishes or huge battles). Some say this is a problem and that there isn't enough puzzle involved. Well they have there opinions but it's there is enough exploring to satisfy my intulectial needs and more than enough fighting to satisfy my destructive needs. I will admit that there is one form of over combat. The problem is that they often stick HUGE amounts of monsters in one space(like enough to fill your screen). Then they all charge at you and before you know it your dead(unless you run). This means I often am simply running trying to avoid combat. I don't mind small bands of 3 to 6 or seven but it can be ridicolous.
6th Level: Downhill Jam - The hardest level in the game, there are several things wrong here. First, S-K-A-T-E, how in the ... are you supposed to get SKATE when the E is at an almost impossible position? I've seen it done but it's hard as ... to get. Second, the secret tape is way to hard to get, i mean, come on, you have to have slow mode on to get it, otherwise, it's very very hard to reach. Why didn't they put this as the last level instead of Streets? It's way harder than that level.
8781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gaie is one of the greatest RPG games i have ever played. You start as a young boy named Will and you set out on a journey to find your father. You soon aquire 2 more companions: a knight and a firey spirit dude. I would definently reccomend this game to any RPG and adventure game fan because this game has a deep storyline, cool bosses, challenging puzzles (especially the last one), fun side quests, and the gameplay is just fun. The only downside to this game is the last boss. She is a giant amazonian chick who is very, very, very hard. But after a couple hundred tries I eventually beat her
- This game is basically a remake of Wipeout, with more unlockable
Sometimes the guards aren't as intelligent as you'd like them to be (you can actually walk into an elevator and they will walk right by, without noticing you) and apparently none of them can see you if you're standing only a couple feet away, but you know, these problems are actually pretty nice because it allows gamers to finish Metal Gear Solid without any major difficulty problems. I can only imagine how hard the game would be if guards were extremely observant all the time.
3562 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This thing was just as powerful overall as the PlayStation 2 and it had great games, so what happened? Bad business, that's what. Not only is it not compatible with Sega Saturn games or Genesis but the exclusivity deals enraged stores not cut in on the deal. They figured that since they were to get the consoles after everyone else that they'd further delay it...until pigs fly. Forget about them and get this, the first true supersystem for the price of most used or million seller games and collect some of the greatest games ever made, including Project Justice, StreetFighter 3 ThirdStrike, Jet Grind Radio, Soul Caliber,Tech Romancer, Virtual ON Oratorio Tangram, PowerStone 1&2,Dead or Alive 2, Grandia 2, Grand Theft Auto 2, Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure. You only have to buy it once, it doesn't have a set shelflife like food does. It'll always be there for you when you want to play it and it never costs additional money. There are far worse things that you could and likely have spent your money on that you can't account for now. You can't put a price on dreams but you can put a very low one for a DreamCast. You won't forget it. If you do, FORGET YOU! Seriously, though, get it!
5369 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Doom is really the third Doom game, so Doom 3 is really Doom 4. Anyway, This game is great. Thirty brand new levels, with tons of tricks and surprises. The only drawbacks are that there are some invisible walls which demons can attack you through, but entering these walls can be fun. Also, it seems like you can never pick up a key or open a door without a wall opening up with a dozen monsters behind it ready to attack you. But the gameplay is flawless. I highly recommend this game!
The general story premise is that you somehow end up on Myst Island, presumably you linked there from some other book on your home plane of existence and you teleported to this one. Anyway, you find the island uninhabited, but it's obvious that people were once here. There's a little building with a library in it, but most of the books are burnt. Clearly something is amiss. There are two other books on pedestals to the right and left, when you open them you find people trapped inside. I would later learn these are called prison Ages. Both prisoners, naturally, want to be released and ask you to help them. The object of the game is to find all the missing pages of their books so you can release them. The basic setup of the world is that the books are more than just books; they are gateways to other worlds. The worlds in the Myst universe are called Ages and you get back to your original location by using a linking book. It's actually a really creative concept! The world is vastly different and they actually used live actors for the scenes in the game. You have to realize that this was practically revolutionary when it was first coming out. It wasn't the same kind of live actor design Mortal Kombat was using, they were actually having people act in a blue screen environment then transporting them into the Myst world.
Jurassic park rampage edition (JPRE) takes an alternate, more action paced look at the classic story of dinosaurs gone amok on a jungle island. Where in the books and the movies Grant was a quiet paleontologist who just wanted to dig up ancient bones in the desert, here he's become a super military commando who makes Rambo look like Ronald McDonald. Where in the movie and books Grant was focused on getting off the island without becoming dinosaur food, here he's shooting everyone and everything in sight...which isn't necessarily a bad thing, due to the fact that everyone and everything on the island is out to kill him.
1924 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Honestly, let's face it. RE2 was one of the best in the series and is always a serious must have. We're in the age of PS3's now and I understand that since it is 2012 that the graphics may not seem as good as they were when RE2 1st came out, but the gameplay is still awesome! Also, the voiceacting is at least a step up from RE1!

An accidental portal to the alien planet Xen opening. Trying to survive the aliens was hard enough. Then the military is sent to help. And by help i mean cleanse the aliens as well as the scientists. So you are up against aliens, marines, *and* the black ops for a few levels. The gameplay is fun, the puzzles range from easy to difficult (the blackops levels, and the part with the lasers and the missle...that took me forever). And i love throwing snarks at marines.
You cannot underestimate how the world map truly effected gameplay. For the first time on a significant level, you could choose your own path. The map also afforded the game developers the opportunity to made the game chock-full of secrets, alternate paths, and hidden areas. The secrets were not so esoterically hidden to be inaccessible to the average player either - if a regular level had a secret exit, the level would be a red dot; if no secret exit existed, then the level is represented as a yellow dot.
Just get it, it is winning awards all over the place because it is truly classy.

3520 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I got Resident Evil 3, I couldn't wait to play it! First of all, it has the beautiful, talented, and smart Jill Valentine. She is a fighter all the way, she doesn't need no man to protect her, and this game proves it! It starts out with Jill trying to escape from the zombie-infested Raccoon City. She finds Brad Vickers, another from the first Resident Evil. He tell her that "he" is coming for STARS members, which got me interested.
Graphics 4/5..for its time
if you want a game to have fun with by yourself or with freinds, sonic 2 is the one for you.
1) You kill Boba Fett in this, so that makes no continuity sense.
3091 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy is the most popular game in Japanese RPG game. The popularity is devide to Dragon Questo(warrior) in half. Final Fantasy1 is the work more than 10 years ago. The hard system was Nintendo Family computer these days. And in Final Fantasy 4 the hard changed to Super Family computer. In this Final 7 the hard changed to Play station. As my title, the hard spec extended very much by changed from Supaer famicon to Play station. Concletely the soft system changed from casette to CDROM. For that, the garafic and sound etc got to be very real. the difference of Final6-7 was remarkable more than other title of Final series.
The villain is excellent, well-handled and well-developed. The lesser villains and some of the other NPCs also get a bit of character development (the optional quest in Wutai with the Turks has to be one of my favorite bits in the game), And the villains' actions make sense within the context.
4004 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Almost every Dreamcast game supports the jump pack feature. This is because the feedback mechanism adds an extra dimension of fun and interactivity to games. If you are wondering if it is worth the [price] to add this to your controller - yes it is.

In the future, with regards to the rumoured upcoming Fallout 3, I will keep the receipt and do internet research about that game before deciding to keep it for good.
I've had this game for years, and have never gotten farther then level 7! My doctors always go crazy and I lose the level!
5596 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wonderful. Works great.
7972 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my all time favorites. Next to Super Metroid, All Grand Theft Auto, and Super Ghouls and Ghosts...this is the best game ever! My only complaints is that it ends to soon! Every year I bust this game and and beat it. If you don't like Zelda...then you're either some kind of tribal person that has no access to electricity...which is cool. Or a lame republican that despises epic themes in anything other than making mass amounts of revinue....which is sucky.
Ready 2 Rumble also has Championship mode which is fun.
5068 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Silent Hill is an exceptional game. It is dark, fun, creative, extremely involving and more than anything, it is downright CREEPY. The story is simple and the main character is easy to relate to. After all, Harry Mason is just a regular Joe wandering around, completely clueless, in search of his missing daughter. He can barely hit the side of a barn with his pistol and only has a tiny weak flashlight which greatly limits his vision. Right before some nasty creature attacks him, he gets a burst of static on his radio. Believe me, that burst of static will get your heart pumping as you get a little too involved in this game. The graphics are a little coarse, but somehow that does not deter from the game itself as the entire game is shrouded in darkness or fog. Controls are tight and simple to learn. This game is beyond cool, even if it does look like someone's bad acid trip (inside out creatures, ghost-children weilding knives, etc). It is challenging, creative and original and makes killing zombies in the Resident Evil series seem trite and simple. The sound effects are great and add considerably to the eerie atmosphere of the game. Replay value is high, as there are several different endings that you can achieve based on gameplay. If you are a fan of the RE series or Dino Crisis or any survival horror video, BUY THIS GAME!! You will not be disappointed.
The story was always hard to understand, and depending on what ending you unlock, will be even harder to comprehend. It lacks thematic cohesion, and I always found it to be one of the lesser Silent Hill tales. Luckily, the game has a lot of replay value, and was made with multiple playthroughs in mind.

8722 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a classic game. It doesn't any better than this (except for maybe Mario Kart 64). This took me back to when I was younger and played games on my SNES. Its just the same as it was back then, pixels, catchy music and all.
There are even more great things to choose from i nthe addon pack that you can also buy. There are some great things to choose from on these.
1428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 1996 was a fairly important year in the realm of video gaming. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System dies out in the United States. Diablo comes out for the PC. However, the biggest news is the launch of Nintendo's amazing new system: the Nintendo 64, which was lauded for its beautiful graphics and a brilliant new controller.
Given enough time, many people could pass this game. However, there are limits. After all, it's just a game, and should only take a maximum 100 hours to complete. This is well beyond the 100 hours.

2406 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a great buy for the N64. I was inspired to buy this game after seeing the movie scene with the Podracing. So all an all you start off as a noob and work your way to the top buying parts for your pod. You can choose from many racers. I give this game the rating that it got for its fun with some frustrating races.
I've noticed several people who have mentioned that the game does not run well on Windows 98. I've encountered this problem too. If you install the game from the automatic installation dialog box that comes up when you insert the Myst CD, the game will play OK for a little while, but will eventually crash. However, I was able to find a solution. If you're running Windows 98 or newer, do NOT install from the dialog box. Instead, go to the Install subdirectory on the CD, find the "install.exe" file there, and click on it to install the game that way. The installation procedure is slightly different. You'll know you are doing it the different way when the game installes to a new directory called c:\myst. If you use the automatic dialog box, it will install to a different subdirectory. I installed the game using this alternate procedure, and it has been running fine with Windows 98. I hope this helps anyone out there experiencing problems. It would be a shame to miss out on a game as good as this one becuase of operating system problems.
Gaming has come a long way since this system came out. My only regret is that I didn't get mine earlier.
I'd read many glittering reviews of this game's graphics. "The bump mapping is spectacular!" they'd say, and when I saw the 3d-rendered menu I was indeed impressed. However, when the first mission loaded up, I was disappointed to see that the character models were somewhat primitive, the view range was limited, and there was no bump mapping to be seen. Of course, my system is to blame for this: my old TNT2, being based on five generation old technology, just isn't cutting it anymore. The bump mapping effects, in particular, seem to be reserved for Geforce cards. However, I still consider my system to be a decent gaming platform, and I'm sure not everybody out there has a P4 with Geforce2 Ultra and 512 MB RDRAM, so I felt I needed to mention it. Interestingly, other, older games run faster and look better on my computer than Giants does. Could be driver optimizations for the Geforce2, who knows. Suffice to say you're looking at 700 MHz and a Geforce to really enjoy this game.
1126 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 everything a video game is supposed to be! Lots visually diverse landscapes and effects, intriguing gameplay and endless oppotunities for exploration within the framework of the game. No boring moments here! The horse is certainly a nice touch (being a bit of a horse fanatic myself). Provides a fairly lifelike representation of horse riding. Nice soundtrack, and the interactive music play was quite satisfying. All in all a well designed game. Wish they were all this good!
1. The graphics are outstanding. Wow. The whole world of Termina reminds me of middle earth, only a lot less dark and ten times more exotic.
*AI is extremely cheap on some missions where there are expert bots.
The Next thing that is neat about the dreamcast is their games that were individually selected for that system. Games such as D2,Project Justice,Samba de Amigo(WITH MIRACHAS),And Seaman(With Mic), give you huge bragging rights. Samba di Amigo,W/ Mirachas easily could fetch 150$.Some of these games are hard to find cheap or even at all. With the Accessories it gets even more expensive.
This title is a great, nostalgic look back at those times. Being able not only to play any of the characters from the first 3 games, but also as their different incarnations is huge. When the Genesis/Super Nintendo became obsolete I feared the loss of these games. But with their release on Playstation, especially in this title, I am happy. The game play is great and packed full of surprises. As far as 2D fighting games goes, this is the best and is better than many first generation 3D fighters. If you liked this in the arcade, you'll like it here. Granted, it has the usual translation problems with the buttons in the wrong places and more difficulty moving the stick, but you get those problems with any console game.

9497 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As a kid I loved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and I played this game as a result. Years later, I was able to find this in its packaging and it is still fun to play. The source material is respected and you can play as one of the original five rangers. The graphics are very good for their time and the animation for combat makes it feel very good when you hit enemies.
2932 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 such a classic game to me. I enjoyed the story and it has the most replay value out of all the Final Fantasies.
The only other thing I find a little off about the game is the actual fight with Jafar at the end. I can't really imagine that performing hand-plants on a towering cobra's head would do anything to it, let alone the fact that you probably couldn't get close enough to actually do a hand-plant there either.
138 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I was very disappointed in this item. We thought we would get a better picture than the standard WII video cables, but definatley took a leap in the wrong direction. I would not recommend.
8303 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my opinion this is not only the best Mega Man X game but possibly the best Mega Man game of all time. It's extremely fun and challenging, an absolute masterpiece. The best part is that it's also very cheap so if you have an SNES then by all means, BUY THIS NOW!
1860 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Naughty Dog and Sony released Crash Bandicoot, which rivaled the likes of Mario and Sonic. In the end, many gamers liked Crash's non-stop action, but others simply just skipped it. Even though it was very promising, Crash's gameplay did not really offer anything new, which featured elements you can find in a 16-bit platformer.
3083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...but I didn't think this game was all that terrible. In fact,I remember renting it twice in a row cause I wanted to see how the story ended. I had alot of fun with Shadow Madness;I liked the characters,I found the battle system to be enjoyabale,and I'm sorry,but I didn't think the graphics were all that horrible. In fact,I thought some were pretty impressive. For instance the cinmeas that play when you cast certain spells,like the ice mammoth. Also,the gameplay options of easy,normal and hard make for good reasons to play this game again after beating it.

350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i bought the 2 x Wii Gamecube GC Extension Cable Cord but after a few uses, it started working wrong, duplicating signals
7976 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is excellent any way you put it. I remember playing it for the first time about 12 or 13 years ago (yeah that IS a very long time), and I thought it was just the greatest thing ever. The graphics were supurb and even to this day they look beautiful. Though they don't stand up to ps2 graphics...it really doesn't matter with these old-skool games. I'm not a graphics kind of guy and never was, so it doesn't affect me, but if you are really into high tech graphics and haven't played this, i doubt you will like it. Don't get me wrong, some games with more high tech graphics are good, but this game (along with many others on SNES) proove that graphics don't make any game. But then again I don't play or own a playstation 2, so that's just how I see it. My views on videogames are rather conservative. If you are still under 16 and haven't played this game I doubt you will like it though, as it doesn't appeal to younger payers any more due to it's old school design that kids tend not to appreciate these days. But that doesn't mean kids won't like it. I just think people who have played it in the early 90s are mainly the ones who will enjoy it nowdays, unless you're a Zelda fanatic but haven't played this one yet, or if you like older games but haven't gotten around to getting this one yet. The music on this game is also very good, although the dungeon music can get very tedius and annoying, it's not that bad. The world music is classic, though and after you play it enough it will be ringing in your ears. Gameplay also doesn't get much better, you get a whole arsenal of items. Much more than any other Zelda yet. This game is basically the game that set the standards for all other adventure games, sometimes even RPGs. Another thing you might like about this game is that it is not way too time consuming, if you have a life to attend to you can do so while keeping up with the game as well. Even though I like really long games, this game is short in a good way. But the first time you play it , it will probably take more than 10 hours to beat, at least. If you get all the heart containers it will take even more. There isn't a lot of text in this game either, there's talking sequences but they usually end pretty quick...All in all this game is classic, and if you haven't played it-that's your mistake. Playing this game and hearing it's music after years really brings back those great childhood memories. Even to this day this game looks better to me than most new games. It just has that aura. I highly recommend this to any one into adventure games or RPGs that has a taste for the classics, or anyone who likes SNES or NES games.
3377 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Having played a rather large number of survival horror titles in my time, I uncovered this title at the local flea market for 3 bucks. Having missed it back on the ps1 days (I was too busy with Silent Hill and Resident Evil I guess...) and being a die hard fan of Survival Horror, I picked it up. First and for most, many people have claimed this to be Rresident Evil with dinosaurs. Don't get me wrong, the similarities are hard to miss, but this really is something unique. Enimies are fast... the slow moving zombie has been replaced with the screeching, agile, adreniline fueled velociraptor... Which makes this game pretty difficult. No, think about it. RE controlls... only with zombies that move faster than you. Get the picture? While this does ramp the difficulty significantly, it isn't too over bearing (You just have to learn that blasting dinos isn't a good idea and running away is). Despite the more frentic combat, the game still moves at a sluggish pace that survival horror players have either come to love or hate. This is due in large part to a vast number of puzzles (which make little sense, as usual... colored key cards, statues, crate moving, etc.)and back tracking, in true RE fashion. However, this game offers some really chilling atmosphere, and despite the slow moving speed, it really does feel faster and more frentic than it's compitition, just because dinos are everywhere, you are always running and usually have an extremely low ammount of ammo at all times. Because nearly every area has key items, you have to explore. Because these same areas feature dinos, you have to use ammo to kill them. Because dinos are so fast and hard to kill you are always taking damage. You use healing items to cure wounds, so there for, unlike Resident Evil, it is pretty damn hard to hoard ammo and healers... all this results from fast moving enemies, and because you almost always just barely escape every situation by the seat of your pants, this gives dino crisis an exciting edge that most other horror games still haven't perfected. Add to this, "choose your own adventure" style twists in the plot where you call the shots as to which direction the story goes, the ability to combine items to create more powerful weapons, new types of ammo, and more potent healing items, and some pretty nifty graphics (they really aren't that bad, considering this game is almost 5 years old)and you have a winning title. As for the not-so-juicy parts, well... there are only about 4 types of enemies. And if you ever saw Jurassic Park or opened up a childrens Dinosaur book, you already know what they look like and how they will act. I'm not complaining, because each dino still scares the crap out of you when it pops out of a vent shaft or chases you down a corridor at high speed... but they lack that what-the-hell-is-it? factor of the mutants seen in RE and Silent Hill... Before you ever encounter them, you already know exactly what the enemies will look like, and how they will try and kill you. It just isn't as disturbing as the freekish encounters experienced in most other games of the genre. More so, the weapon selection is a little limited (3 weapons: Pistol, Shotgun, Grenade Gun), which offer a nice balance of speed, ammo availability and power... but it still leaves something to be desired, as pistol ammo is far too week to be useful (7 to 10 hits for a kill on a fast moving enemy... yeah right) and shotgun ammo is far to scarce to be wasted on anything but important circumstances (obviously grenades are saved exclusively for bosses if you actually want to beat the game). A good middle ground weapon would have been nice, just to lower frustration and make combat more stream-lined. In short, if you never liked Survival Horror, this isn't going to turn you into a fan. But if you like the corridor romping, the solving of mundane puzzles that pop out of no where and a few heart pounding marrathon runs while being chased by savage lizards, this is a game you should check out. Dated by today's standerds, but still decient enough to replay to see the 4 different endings. I give it a solid 85 out of 100.
N64 games are great and you get the best experience playing them from the N64 itself.
1017 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good graphocs, multiplayer mayhem, secret levels of which the first is kind of like a part of the movie "Moonraker" (earn this level by beating the game on secret agent) and the second of which is where you have to beat Baron Sameidei with the Golden Gun (earn this level by beating the game on OOagent). The game is not overly gory. If you shoot someone a red patch appears on there clothes, but it is hard to see on most of the 3d characters. With twenty levels in all and ten or so multiplayer areanas it is no wonder this game was voted game of the year in "Nintendo Power" magazine. The music is excellent and can really get you excited and it can also get you scared. The AI is pretty dumb on the agent setting, it develops about a fifty percent intelligence upgrade on secret agent setting, and on OOagent you had better find some cover! The game can take a while to beat if you want to get all the secret levels and secret codes for the game by beating the main game missions in a certain time with all of the objectives met. Have and watch out!

6939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My husband loves this game!
6062 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 As a Myst fan I looked forward to this game and was sure that since it was so difficult to find in my local store that it must have been great. Boy, was I wrong. I played through and found that the puzzles were pretty difficult simply because were totally unrelated to each other and the rest of the game in general. Running a PII 600 MHz machine the game gave me no problems and the graphics ran fine. I am not an extremely picky gamer and with a bit of a plot this game could have been tolerable. ... .
4. Fluint and absolutely excellent cut and FMW sequences. It's true. Like I said above, the graphics are wonderful. And plus, exploring a small portion of Termina, which you do through out the game, is an experience that you don't wanna miss.
7 - Counteroperative Play: This is by far the COOLEST addition to the game. One of the two HUMANS is the good guy (I mean girl), and the other is one of the soldiers in the stage, the soldiers can even take suicide pills!
Unfortunately, this game has been overlooked due to the fact that this version was released the same year as the Nintendo 64.
8923 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was checking up on old SNES games to buy off amazon and came across this game. It was going for $30 at the time and I was thinking there is no way I'm going to pay that much for this game. Luckily, someone on my bus was selling his old SNES games. I offered him $5 and I got it.

3114 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VII is easily my favorite Final Fantasy game, and I know them all. I own FFIV,V,VI,VII,VIII,IX, and X and have beaten FFVII,VIII,IX,and X and this one is the best. I have to recommend it to everyone, RPG fan or not. Squaresoft was at it's prime in this period what with FFVII & Xenogears, my favorite Squaresoft games. The battle format is the tried and true Active form (you have a "Active Time Battle" gauge that fills and when it fills, the character can attack. Enemies don't have to wait for you to use your turn to use theirs). There are tons of commands (Ex. Attack, Deathblow, Magic, Item, Morph, Steal, Mime, etc.) but many require Materia to use. Materia is what you insert into your weapon and armors empty Materia slots to gain the Materias ability while it is equipped. You gain AP as well as EXP and Gil ($) after winning a fight. AP levels up your equipped Materia. It is important not to overload your character with Materia though, because as Cloud says in a tutorial, "It acts as a double-sided sword. While it gives you abilities, it also can subtract from your stats." The story starts small as a rebel group AVALANCHE fighting the Shinra Corporation that is turning the only huge city on Gaia, Midgar, into one big industrial market. They are putting up Mako Reactors that suck the energy from the Earth and convert it to power. AVALANCHE destroys a couple of these in missions and Shinra devises a plan. 18 year old Cloud is just joining AVALANCHE, but reluctantly; he is very cruel hearted and troubled do to his past in the beginning, but that changes. Quickly the scheme becomes much more grandiose as Sephiroth gets involved. AVALANCHE falls apart and the core members and a few other characters leave to follow Sephiroth, while Shinra searches for "the Promised Land," a land with tons of Mako energy. The story is serious. A main character even dies at the climax of the first disc. It leads you through tons of places and aquaints you with many people. Of course the ever popular Biggs and Wedge return, as does Cid (you may not get this if you aren't big for Final Fantasy games). The Limit Breaks are cool. During battle there is a gauge called Limit Break which fills when you are attacked. When it fills all the way, you can use Limit Breaks which are very strong attacks. You learn new ones by using previous ones or a variety of other ways for certain characters. The status effects such as Poison or Mute are used. The ammount of Materia is staggering. The summons are great, but one stands out as fairly impossible to not be a one hit kill, besides on Safer Sephiroth if he has on Wall, or Emerald and Ruby Weapon regardless. This summon is common knowledge for Final Fantasy enthusiasts, Knights of the Round, where 13 knights attack the enemies. If you have a good magic stat, they do a good 9000 damage per attack (9000 x 13 = 117,000 damage). The graphics are standout awesome for their time, but nowadays they aren't special and the character designs are a disaster, but again, they were awesome back in the days. The sound is top notch with awesome music. Just like Xenogears, it's one of those few games where I like the music. There are a few huge [disappointments] (the chocobo battle music) and a few instant favorites (the Safer Sephiroth music, "One Winged Angel"). The game length is about 40-50 hours, but you'll keep playing it to get to level 99 and complete every last side quest (like me!) and clock in 70 hours if you have one ounce of common sense. The control is flawless except for the X for cancel and Circle for confirm, but that can be fixed with the customizable controls very easily. I just can't believe that you're still reading this review! Buy the game already, you won't regret it.
173 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This silicone cover has a very nice feel to it! Don't use this with dirty hands, dirt will stick to it. This is a ok product for your 360 controller.
SR boasts great graphics and equally great story, excellently interlaced cut scenes and voice overs, satisfying achievment levels, and absolutely wicked atmosphere. In fact, you might say it simply OOOZES atmosphere. Dark, ominous...vengful, atmosphere.
336 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When the gamecube came out, we all had 19, 20 or 24 inch CRT televisions. The standard 6 foot gamecube controller cord was acceptable. But now that we have these 50+ inch TV screens, 6 feet just doesn't cut it.
So yeah. Sonic and Knuckles is the second part of Sonic 3, and it is just as good.
7960 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Initially "Saga Frontier" is quite interesting, but unfortunately it quickly bogs down from there. The game offers seven different characters in seven different stories (some of which are actually quite interesting); this is a very neat idea, but the action gets repetitive after exploring the same area in different stories. The fight action is interesting at first, but this too gets repetitive in a rather short time. One thing I did like was the backgrounds; some of them were just beautifully rendered. Unfortunately the character/monster graphics just did not fit in with the background; they were two different styles that just did not mesh well with each other. If the game had offered a better combat engine and more unique areas for each character, "Saga Frontier" would have been a pretty good game.
3177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you thought Street Fighter Alpha 3 was great in the arcade, you ain't seen nothin yet. The graphics are crisp, clean, and very colorful, and the best part is there is virtually no loading time whatsoever. The World Tour mode is great and the regular arcade mode is still as fun as its always been, and at this price I'd get it now if I were you 'cause it won't be around for much longer.
Great graphics, slightly less frantic gameplay than MK II.

3587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Dreamcast is definately the ultimate gaming system... 128 bit... 3 million polygons per second... does it get any better than that? I will give you the answer: NO! Now don't say that the PS2 is better. To be just perfectly honest... I don't care if the PS2 has a DVD player. I don't see why I should spend more just for a DVD player. People say that the controller is too big. That is just another excuse for the PS2 to be better than Dreamcast. Go dreamcast!!! Go Sega!!! I have not had any trouble with my console after buying it used. The Dreamcast consists of good quality. The graphics are equal to PS2. And the loading times are the best compared to the PS2. The Dreamcast has many great games for it.
9782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when I was 10 years old. best experience in my life when I was a kid; apart from having sex at an early age. I still looking for this type of game in the new generation, but no luck yet. games aren't scary enough now.

7846 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought this game was great. I got it right after it was released and was blown away by the lush tropical graphics and game play. You had huge areas to explore and a large weapons arsenal at your disposal with plenty of ammo. This is definitely one of the better games in the N64 library. I replayed this again in 2017. It was exactly twenty years since I beat it the first time and boy what a stroll down memory lane it was. Even though the graphics were a bit dated it was just as much fun the second time and you can't say that about many games.

5194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will keep this short, but if you do not buy this game or play this game before you die, you will simply just have missed on the best game that have ever been created. An'thats That!!!!
For the past year, I have stood by Final Fantasy VII saying that it is the best RPG ever created. I was wrong. It WAS the best RPG ever created in 1997. When FF VII first came out on the PSX it was said to be the best game ever put on the PSX. They were right. When it was released in '97 the graphics in the game blew away the graphics of previous games and later games. The storyline itself was gripping and although it had it's dull moments, it culminated in a spectacular finish.
DOOM 64
Anyway, the game is pretty fun but like someone else said, it's extremely short and can be beaten in one sitting if you have 3 hours or so to kill. It has some replayability because it's fun, but I don't think there are any secrets to uncover once you beat the game. Or maybe I didn't know about them? Hehe.
8918 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I seriously believe Metroid II: Return of Samus is an underrated classic. We all know about the weak abilities of the Game Boy and the horribly dated black and white graphics, but when you consider everything *else* about the game succeeds, who cares about graphics at all?
Sound is great as well, and "slow motion bullet time" effects are awesome. You right click your mouse and for a few seconds the game slows down like the matrix, you can see bullets going through the air..its just something you have to see for yourself.
DOA2!
Characters - Squall's quite strength is a great ying to Rinoa's outgoing yang. Edia is a lush bad girl, who's face alone will astound you.
1084 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is a real gem , treasure it and treat it well it is worth any price
8666 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very fun game great especially when playing with two players! But still as fun with one! there are the classic powerups and levels that many gamers have fallen in love with! It is still as fun as it was back in the day! Highly recommended to any racing game fans and mario fans alike! If you want to see where Mario Kart all began for those of you who have played the 64,gamecube, and wii version, then bask in the goodness that is SUPER MARIO KART! 10/10

Fast-moving spaceship: Ridden by Coco
For years, I've gone back and forth with myself about whether FF7 is good. I've concluded it's partly responsible for making games too casual. Despite that it's an RPG you don't get to make meaningful choices. You get to make very few choices about what Cloud does outside combat, and most of them don't really matter. If we're going to try elevating videogames, it would behoove JRPG fans to demand more choices so they can truly role-play their own "anime hero". I'd recommend giving players choices in story that let them end up a pathetic failure or butt of the joke in their own story. Fail states are important.
Your farm workers stand in the flood and drowned because you haven't built a place for them to take the food. Simple really. That's what I love about this game.
4247 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After the original SimCity came out I had thought it would be cool to have Sims based on other industries. When I first heard of RCT I ran out and bought it. Two years later, I still am not bored with it.
The inclusion of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold is nice, but seems out of place in what is supposedly a historical collection. Perhaps the developers felt they rushed the original Street Fighter Alpha 2 to market, and tried to save face by placing the more polished Gold version in this compilation. And since this third title requires its own Memory Card block, Street Fighter Collection actually requires three blocks in all, not one as is advertised on the packaging.
7446 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this when I was younger and found it at a reasonable price so I picked it up. Forgot how rad this game was :)
1658 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game offers unique play. It has a pretty good storyline that keeps your attention, but the stealth required to play the game makes it a keeper. Unlike Metal Gear, you actually loose points by being spotted, even if you make it through the mission successfully. You can opt to go through the mission again for a higher score, or you can go on to the next mission. I liked that aspect the most because the second time around (knowing where everyone is hiding and waiting for you) you get to get the drop on them! Cool beans.

I considered the graphics to this game one of the best during its time. Better, perhaps, than the original Resident Evil. On my HD TV, the pixels are more noticeable than they were on my regular tube, but considering how into the game you'll be, this setback will quickly disappear.

9598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Tactics is a classic game for the Playstation which is still great fun to play in the days of the Playstation 2.
I highly recommend this game, whether you are an avid Tomb Raider fan or somebody new to the series. I don't believe you will be disappointed - in fact, you will probably find many hours of action filled entertainment. And if you do enjoy it, I strongly recommend other games in this series.
It's funny, imaginative, and actually allows you to ride the rides!
- 3 battle system
In all the delta force games you are placed in an outdoor enviroment that is enormous. Often you will have to run for a minute or two just to engage the enemy or reach their camp. In all these games you feel like you are spending too much time running around and that is especially a problem in multiplyer were you run for ever only to get killed and have to go back to where you were . DF3-landwarrior remedies this problem a little by making the characters run faster but in this game you seem to plod along at a slow pace. That's especially true when running up and down steep mountains.
Load up a copy of Soul Calibur or Resident Evil: Code Veronica and your jaw will drop at the attention to detail and playablitity. Don't believe the hype about the Playstation 2. As a longtime gamer (since the NES days) the Dreamcast is as best as you can get. ...so you get an awesome system at a great price.
The gameplay and design has changed a lot with this title. Crash can now use the circle button to duck, slide when moving and crouch jump. There are less levels, but they are divided into five Warp Rooms with five levels each (with a bonus warp room included). Plus you can actually save whenever you please!
6226 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 My N64 didn't come with very much. I paid $60, and it came with the wires and Perfect Dark, but I had two major issues. One, it didn't come with a Jumper Pak or Expansion Pak, which meant I had to go and buy one separately, and on the controller that came with it, the left C button didn't work. It may not seem important, but not being able to use an item slot or move the camera in a certain direction isn't very fun.
Thankfully, visuals aren't all the game has to offer. You'll find a good challenge within Toy Story. I'd go as far to say that this is a really hard game. What makes its difficulty work, though, is that it always feels fair. You have chances to earn extra lives and continues in levels by collecting enough stars, and the game controls so smoothly that it's hard to blame the death of your character on anyone but yourself. It's a tough game, by all means, but it's also a fair challenge.
The challenge was altered only for certain levels. Thus it makes some games a little easier. Also another welcome is unlimited continues added to #3.
Anyway, I wanted to write up this review because the sim is still in use and message boards with enthusiastic modders and simmers from all over the world are currently active and they are a great place to get started and ask Qs about anything having to do with Red Baron 3D or any of its many mods and patches.

1295 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in really good condition, played perfectly fine. I had tons of fun with this game, and I'd definitely recommend this if yore looking to have fun!
If you do not have this in your collection, you should. It is just as good as Mario Kart, if not better.
So, why only 4?
6208 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There are two things to think about when talking about this game. One is the game mechanics themselves and one is the execution of the look and feel of the game. On the former the game lacks, but as far as the way the game looks and sounds you will be hard pressed to find a computer game that puts you this deeply into a franchise. Blade Runner is this kind of game.
Small note, the one I recieved didn't have the power light visible. I'll have to swap out the screen plate, but it's a minor complaint, and does not affect the review of the Gameboy as a product.
If you're looking for a sentimental chao garden, this better be your last buy. If you're only after something nostalgic or want to collect for SEGA fandom's sake, this is one you absolutely can't leave out.
As another reported, one can find that you have achieved the goals of the scenerio, but haven't got the "wonder" built. The solution to this is the analysis and early planning for labor and material accumulation to coordinate your objestives.. A lot of pleasure can be had, after you see what's required to get everything done, by going back over a scenerio and trying to beat your old performance.. this is easily done via the "replay scenerio" menu on the game.
In a graphical standpoint, Sonic Adventure is amazing. The crisp visuals and not-so-often slowdown turned most people on. Rock on, Sega. 5 out of 5 for graphics.
I use 2 controllers often, so I bought 2. For regular saves, I bought one of the 4 page jobbies that quadruple the storage of these in the same amount of space. I just slap that one in the first controller's second port. There's no display on the larger memoried one. But that does mean I forsake the use of the vibrating gizmos. But since I've never tried one on the DC, I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
5857 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pros:
9445 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If only they kept this form when they had Ms. Pac Man as part of other games for the next-gen systems. This is great! I guess some people are nostalgic for the shadless old-school arcade style of gameplay, but I think this is perfect. I mean, the graphics have more depth, meaning the colors are more attractive and..., you know?
.... Come on, you can't tell me NOD doesn't have a huge advantage over GDI. They do.
Another thing that I found most disturbing was the extreme gore/violence that is present throughout the game. When your science project goes wrong, you walk out to find a scientist lying on the ground with about 10 gallons of blood spread all over the walls and floor! Were the programmers just trying to be sick here or what? When you reach the levels in which you begin to fight the army grunts (who are the best enemies), it gets even more grotesque. If you let off an entire clip of bullets at one guy, expect to see a wall covered with blood. Sure, you can turn it off, but it does very little good. The blood is still very disturbing. This is one aspect of the game that is extremely unacceptable. I am not a parent saying this, either, I'm a teenager.
Whilst I know this is an older game, something I know from playing a lot: some of the old games are still some of the best games ever made.
The only problem is that each of the four quests are between 2 and 2 and a half hours long. By todays standards, that's incredibly short. However, if you add up the play time for all four quests, you're looking at a good 10 hours of zombie-shootin'. Honestly, you're supposed to go through the four quests to get everything out of Resident Evil 2 (something I didn't realize until a year after I bought it).
The game was programed to run with the now extinct Voodoo video cards and Glide API. There is a program called dgvoodoo that can be downloaded and installed that allows modern ATI and Nvidia cards to run the game in Glide, otherwise the game runs in Direct Draw and doesn't look nearly as sweet.
8002 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
The biggest thing I see in the plot is wasted potential. Squall would have been a great character...if you learned and worked through something terrible that happened in his childhood that caused him to become so miserable. The Sorceress Edea/Ultimecia would have been a dreadful enemy...if you ever found out just why she wanted to destroy the world. Rinoa should have become a sorceress very early on instead of at the end, and gained maturity and depth as she struggled to learn and harness her powers. Instead, the plot came out as "Hey, we're some military college students. Now let's save the world from this evil lady. Chaaaarge."
1703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Resident Evil is the purest example of a survival horror video game. The newer RE iterations, while fun in their own right, are not survival, and some would say not even horror video games.
4489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent game. Though this is a sequel to Civ II there is no need to have experience on that game. This new game eliminates the blurring of history periods that occurs in Civ II. It also allows for different kinds of victories. It further has many customization options. Then there are the nuclear weapons! WOW! You can upgrade the warheads and the bombs get more and more powerful. At one point you can vaproize about 20 squares and as many cities that would be in that area! The mushroom cloud that accompanies the strike is most impressive. Unlike a lot of sims out there, this one come with very complete information and manuals. If you enjoyed Civ II or the builing empires kind of games this is a MUST HAVE!
I had played the demo once and didn't like it. However, I decided to give the game antoher chance after reading the highly positive PC Gamer review. This time around, I began to see what everyone was talking about.
-Bosses are new in style.
2213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Getting this new was the best way for me. Can't play Majora's Mask without it :D Plus its a good find for us who still play the Nintendo 64 games
The story line is very simple, and the plot is also similar to some of the other games but the massive colorful worlds, intriguing obstacles, and fast action make this a game for anybody of any age group. I've seen 50 year old people play and love it and people who picked up a game controller for the first time in their lives loved it. This game is gonna be 20 years old soon and it still rocks. This game also proves how Genesis is just a timeless system.
That was just to mess with you.
6694 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 On August 1989 when Gameboy was released around the world mainly the US and Japan, Nintendo decided that a new Mario adventure to go with it would be a perfect match in heaven. They succeeded! this game has often been considered to be as odd as Super Mario Brothers 2 was at the time but this one felt more like the original Super Mario Brothers games.
3178 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're reading this, then this game may not be for you. I say that because the type of person who'd enjoy this game most likely already owns it. If, however, you're looking to see what the Dreamcast version has to offer, or you're trying to break into the genre, read on.
Unfortunately, there aren't many skins for the 'Barneys' (security guards) or scientists. But that's a nitpick. I know some people didn't like Xen, either.

There is Tournament Deathmatch, Tournament Team Deathmatch, Domination, Assision, Capture The Flag, or Last Man Standing, all have like at least 10 different maps to play. Tournament Deathmatch, Tournament Team Deathmatch, and Last Man Standing is all the same maps. Tournament Deathmatch-Basically, blow anyone up that is standing! Tournament Team Deathmatch-You play 4 teams, Green, Blue, Red, and Gold, blow up the other team! Domination-You have to teams, Red and Blue, and you try to get 3 different places, and if you get 1 plus what ever you put deaths on, you win. Asission- Two teams, one defending a base, or a object, one trying to destory it. If you can do it, then the other team gets the same time as you, and face off. -Capter the flag, two teams, red and blue and trying to get the other team's flag, but it's hard because it's way back in the other base, try to survive, almost imposible. So many points of getting the flag to your base, and you win! Last Man Standing-you get every weapon but two, and try to kill each other, you get a certain number of lives that you choose.

3829 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 NFL 2K is a great game for the money--.... You'll have a lot of fun playing. The graphics are great. The gameplay is simple and good. I think it's playable even for someone who does not know football but wants to play this game b/c of its raved reviews. The play diagrams tell where the players are going, doing, and the players in play are tagged with control button icons so you know exactly whom your QB has to pass the ball. It's great for beginners as well as experienced players. The only problem I see is the inability for a second player to call timeouts. This is actually a BIG problem. That's why it gets 4 stars instead of 5.

3656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's Gauntlet. You either love Gauntlet, or you're unimportant.
Another aspect I really loved is the sound. Let me tell you that I bought the soundtrack when it was on sale, thinking I would never really listen to it much. Then I learned why in the end credits THREE composer names were mentioned, the music is actually grand. The ambiant music is terrifying by itself, and the music during the scenes is quite amazing, and the end credit theme of scenario 1 is a very powerful track, I have yet to hear an equal, even from Hollywood and Squaresoft. Also, while the voice acting needs work here and there, it is a serious improvement over the original, and Paul Haddad, who plays Leon Kennedy suits the character and tone extreamely well.
Very addictive game. Yet the computer was going through hell. That's the only problem.
Highly recommended.
748 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Banjo-Kazooie is a game that didn't really appeal to me at first. It looked to childish, to easy, and just basically stupid. Comming from the epic company Rareware, I was a bit more interested in what this game was about. Seeing so many good reviews and so many possitive aspects, I realized I must give this game a try. Well, was I ever lucky to do so. Keeping with the Mario 64 type control style and the amazing graphics, I couldn't put the game down. Even though the game was kiddie looking and very childish too, it was really placed for us people who love adventure games. The little things, such as the mini games, make this game even better than it already was. Imagine running around in the snow in a race against a sleding polar bear or playing follow the leader with a giant ghost hand. These are only a few of the things you can do in the game. The game flows a little different than Mario fans might be used to; you have many things to collect. For starters, your main objective is to find all the Jiggys on a level so you can gain access to all other levels. Also, music notes are needed to break the witches spell on doors throughout her lair. And even little guys called Jinjo's are here for you to collect, so they can help you on your journey, through a forest, islands, deserts, and many other worlds. If you have seen a Rare game, you know that they have good graphics, so no exception here, very well done. The music is also a plus feature on this game. With so many great reviews by people of all ages and sexes, you would be doing yourself a great disjustice by not buying this game.
2098 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My son loves this game. He and his friends play night and day. I would recommend this game to other moms'
3768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a lot of people don't realize was that this game set a new standard for 3D video games. It lets you play a different game with each character and explore the world of Sega's Sonic world. The graphics and music are awesome and the game is challenging but never impossible. Sega should put a lot of time into Sonic Adventure 3 if there ever will be one. What I like the most about this game is that like Super Mario 64 before it Sonic Adventure is one of those games I never get tired of no matter how many times I beat it. The story is great and the cinema like sequences are awesome. Yes, the camera angles can get frustrating at times and the newer,slightly more graphically detailed Game Cube version with it's bonus Game Gear games may be a better buy according to many people but it doesn't match that special nostalgic quality you get from playing Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast.
273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it very nice Love it love it love it there is not much more I can say but I love it
7747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game I owned it once now buying back retro games for my kids to enjoy! Brings back lots of fun memories. Favorite Zelda
The main boss, although it hd to be a T-Rex, is better a good alternative to the tyrants in the RE series and provides a constant menace much like in RE3 and always seems to be breathing down your neck. Even when you think you're safe he bursts through a window or finds some way of spoiling your day.
Comix Zone is a super-metafictional beat-em-up adventure starring Sketch Turner (and his rodent sidekick Roadkill), a grungy artist who is zapped into his own comic-book and must fight the powerful mutant Mortus (a boss who sort of resembles Colonel Sanders crossed with one of his own chickens). The most innovative thing about the game is that it is set within the panels of the comic-book, with Sketch hopping from one scene to the next. Secrets and power-ups can be revealed by shredding the pages too.
6891 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If you're a true Bubsy fan, you would know immediately that the title of my review is actually a quote from the very first thing Bubsy says in his first game. How prophetic.
7404 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I normally don't get too carried away with product reviews but, for this game, I simply must make an exception. Let it be known that this is one of the BEST games anyone could ever possibly own for their Playstation. If you are a fan of the Diablo series or just an rpg lover in general, then you absolutely must buy this game. Fans of the Kain series ususally aren't aware that this is the true first of the series, and generally start at soul reaver, however, this game is quite possibly the most important of the bunch as it explains all about how Kain became a vampire and his earliest roots.
This game is also filled with charatcer interaction and drama. I think you can read Amazon's review for the storyline and i'll just encourage you to buy this game if you haven't.
5202 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal Gear Solid in my opinion has to be one of the best games I've ever played. This game definately opened alot of door to games as we know them today. This game did to stealth/ action games the same as of what Final Fantasy did to RPG games. Some of the puzzles and a few of the main bosses were pretty tough but everyone should like a challenge and you'll get that with this. Still a great game for it's age and definately worth checking out.
2242 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The most interesting titles for the n64 won't even work without this little expansion. If you have a n64 you need to get one of these too.
2229 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this expansion pak for a N64 that I picked up at a thrift store and it works great. You need this accessory if you plan on playing some of the more graphic-intensive N64 games.

1305 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My daughter still has a nintendo 64, She loved it. Now years later my Grandson plays it. He really loves Mario games. This game brings back fun memories!!!!!!! I really enjoy watching him play.... AND get very frustrated too!!!!
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Pretty good graphics(despite eyes are white)
Battlezone: Rise Of The Black Dogs
4070 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is will go great with the add ons. But i love this game with Gordon and all the other civilians and scientists and security.... But this game has very cool weapons and very cool monsters. But this game is not reccomended for young users because of major violence and gore. And Multiplayer is a blast. BUT DONT EVER GIVE AWAY YOUR CD KEY IF YOU DO YOU MAY NEVER PLAY HALF LIFE MULTIPLAYER AGIAN! Dont even copy the cd for your friends. But this game has everything i expected with excellent graphics. Everyone will enjoy this game im sure. But 4 stars is my rating because i cant give anything 5 stars unless its AWESOME AND HAS NOTHING WRONG.
but they are plenty good enough to really experience the game. The sound is good and realistic.
Buy this game NOW if you haven't played it, and God help you.
7221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game IS perfect. Perfect first-person shooting, perfect
Imagine having all of those on a display. That would be one nice piece of artwork. If I had the funds I would have a shelf that goes around a room with all of those displayed.
Buy this game, follow the tips I gave you and it should work. Oh and did i tell you the game hasn't crashed since i installed it?
Basically, it was the first game to really show limitless possibilities. It was a revolution for first-person shooters, and so many have overlooked this fact. It was the first to have targeting of individual body parts, over 20 weapons to choose from, realistic glass, shooting out of lights, and bullet holes, and for its time fairly revolutionary AI. All in all, it was an experience that defined video games for me, and few if any have matched it with a similar addictive experience.
5592 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic. Worked perfect.
Remember, I'm not saying the multiplayer is bad. The multiplayer is awesome! It's the lack of the single player that makes this game blow. In fact, it's the lack of everything else that makes me want to lose my lunch.
154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My son sayes he is still learning how to customize the levels and is having some trouble changing ships. He liked 2006 better as it is easier to use. Will get in there and read the book..
9474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game came the first day it was predicted to come. I put this game into my Super Nintendo and it worked first time. Not to mention the game is AWESOME! Probably one of the best SNES games i own. This game is great for all ages. I would recommend buying it!
Sound: 8/10 - A groovy score and neat sound editing techniques make Ape Escape's sound thoroughly plausible.
I might venture to say that it is worth an inexpencive look. Maybe even borrowing it from a friend.
What I don't like:
The bosses are a joke. A laughing stock next to crash, the levels prove to be a bigger challenge with enemies and hidden gems.
But my favorite part is the plot. In its complexity it is beautiful -- there is no possible way to understand it until one has played it more than once. It talks so much of self-sacrifice and giving oneself for a greater cause; of self-doubt and self-searching; of the greater knowledge and wisdom that the planet holds. The characters' lives and pasts weave in and out of each other and each event sets off another deeper into the future.

4974 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i got this game for my brother. so he can enjoy it.
7127 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Doom 64 was my first FPS game while at the time ,i really loved the dark horrid atmosphere, i must admit that always hated the 2D graphic characters , the sound can some times be disturbing but all in all a fun game, i never played it on computer but!!!!!! who cares i like it anyway.
In one "age", if u choose a wrong switch you have to go somewhere else and re-charge a battery, and to re-charge the battery you have to pump water and this whole time you're running back and fourth and back and fourth. I LOVE complex puzzles, but what I HATE is when they are spaced far apart and you have to keep running from A to B over and over, performing trial and error. I wasn't really motivated by the story, if there was one, and the bit of acting in the game was silly. The ages were completely devoid of humanity, making the "journey" depressing. Oh did I mention "secret hotspots"? Yeah if you can't figure out what to do next it's because you haven't found the secret hotspot. Also the navigation is so confusing that you completely miss pathways. This is because when the curser says right or left, it sometimes actually means it's going to turn you 180 degrees. That's fine but when all the scenery looks similar, you don't know you you just turned to the right, or 180 degrees. It's a nightmare.
Those two things will make me not play this game anymore!
2062 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When Nintendo first made it onto the scene with Mario 64, they had no idea of how interesting it is to mold and shape the format of the Mario Brothers industry for the Nintendo 64. It became so big, that every single thing had to be topped off to the next level of excitement, and so on down the line.
2045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is fun I think it is a little less fun the next one crusin world because the game playthrough always follows the exact same path and the tracks are all fairly boring.
3771 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Inspired a lot by Nintendo's smash hit Super Mario 64, Sonic Adventure is a massive, breathtaking game that rarely comes along. Sonic returns alongside his old buds Tails and Knuckles with some other characters to once again battle Dr. Robotnik. While you can tell this game was designed primarily for younger kids, older gamers will love playing Sonic Adventure. The levels are massive, the graphics are unbelieveable, and the virtual pet Chao is a cool addition to an allready awesome game. The only problem is the camera angle can get awkward very quickly on certain levels, causing you to misjudge your distance when you jump and leading to frustrating deaths, but when you get the hang of it, it becomes simple. All in all, the one Dreamcast game (along with Shenmue which is very recommended) that is essential in your collection if you own a Dreamcast.
I'd still definately get this one because it's that good and even so, how could you not continue to collect the Street Fighter series? PLEASE! You know you want to so go ahead and get it!
There really isn't much to say about this game. Giving or not giving a star for each quality, I rated the game like thus. One star for the solid, but very stock, graphics. One star for the extremely refined controls. However I have to force a loss of one star for the quirkiness of the battle.net servers. "Is that fair?" you may ask. Well, yes, You see, playing Diablo II by yourself is only 50% of the game. Playing online or on a LAN is the other 50%. Online play is such an integral part of the experience of this game that I feel that Blizzard's service should be included in the rating. Sorry guys and gals. I can't decide whether to give or take one star for the characters. I would rather give half a star but amazon doesn't allow that, therefor I'll be nice and round up. One star for the character selection and development. The final star goes towards overall addiction. This game is indeed addictive, however care should be exercised that boredom won't creep in. All in all, three and a half stars rounded up to four. This game needs to be viewed as an extension of the original instead of the a whole new version and your enjoyment will increase. The price is a bit high as of this writing but I feel it is worth the hard earned cash (or credit in our modern world).
3021 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Seriously, it's 2008, why am I reviewing this game so long after it came out? Well, because I want to. So there. Anyway, this game is marvelous; I still replay it every once in awhile, and it never gets old for me. You'd think I'd get sick of it after awhile, but I notice and appreciate something new each time I play it. I personally think this game has aged pretty well, and I'll continue to play it until my discs break in half. Warning: This review can be considered to contain SPOILERS!(Well, mostly just in the "story" section).
5505 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I admit I did put hours into this game being the hugh Mortal Kombat fan that I am. Gosh I'm sure happy this embarrassing MK game didn't ruin Subzero's career. It is a side scroller in which you are faced with many evil monks (oh, and they're all twins for some reason)..Subzero has many power-ups that prove useless. The mega-sized bosses are boring to fight (oh, and they never die for some reason). Due to the fact that the game supplies no level maps (how generic) a strategy guide would be a must, that is if you cared to bother with the game in the first place. Two good things did come about from this MK disaster.. Quan Chi & Shinnok. For Mortal Kombat that is a must see "MK4" or the new "MK Deadly Alliance". Leave this one in the past where it never should have spawned. 2 1/2 stars is as high as I could go. I'm generous.
9519 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great A+
Like Mario, Zelda has a huge following and blah blah...i don't need to elaborate on the game's success anymore.
Pros: the graphic are nice, it funny, you get to run a hospital, serveral level to play, easy to play, and you get to deal with all types of patient with weird health problem
I'll try to simplify this game, but it's not an easy task. Depending upon the size of the galaxy you have picked (Small, Medium, Huge, etc) your goal is to colonize planets and develop them, use diplomacy to introduce other cultures either into the Rebellion or the Empire, or outright conquer enemy planets. These planets can then be equipped with varying tools to make use of thier inherent commodities...for instance one planet might have multiple Shipyards for building your navy, while others might be resource sytems, used only for mining and maintaining your credit flow. Characters in the game each have inherent uses...some can do Ship Research, others can be used for Diplomacy, while others can be sent to Sabotage enemy worlds and ships. If the Character has been detected to be a Force User, then a Jedi Knight or Master can begin to train them, resulting in a Character with increased scores for thier particular specialty. In addition Characters can be places in positions of Authority, either in Fleets or on Planets. Admiral Ackbar can lead one fleet while Lando Calrissian can General it, thus resulting in your fleets doing more damage and taking less hits in battles.
4508 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This video game system is great, and even though it isn't very noticeable right now, it will be a major competitor for the Game Boy Color system, and is very compareable. The two systems are the same size, only the Neo Geo Pocket is horizontal instead of vertical. The system also has a bigger screen with sharper and more colorful graphics. The joystick is a bit hard to use, but you will get used to it. The one major gripe I have with this system is the fact that there aren't really any standout games right now. I do like the fighting games and I have Neo Turf Masters, Sonic Pocket Adventures, and Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999 which are all good games, but they aren't very noticeable. Still, I'd buy this system and make these games noticeable, because the games and system deserve it.
The disk was in great condition and works wonders on the PS1 or PS2 very well.

5062 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Striaght out, this is the scariest game you will ever play. It's not only scary but highly enjoyable. I'm a major RESIDENT EVIL fan -- until playing this game with its easily controllable camera angles, creeped-out scenes and great storylines - with the scene of the helpful nurse Lisa being one of the most heartwrenching.

Super Mario World is basically Super Mario Bros. 3 (but without all the cool Mario suits and less creative worlds). I like in Super Mario Bros. 3 how you have water, desert, air, plant and ice worlds (in addition to more). In Super Mario World you just have UNUSUAL worlds such as Chocolate Island and Forest of Illusion. Those aren't as neat as the worlds in Super Mario Bros. 3. Super Mario World should have been the best Mario game yet but Nintendo took a few steps back (but with a MONSTER like Super Mario Bros. 3 I guess it would have been difficult to make a better Mario game right after it).
- Jill takes too much damage even from the smallest attacks.
826 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is without a doubt my favorite game ever!!!! I must have beat it 10 times. When I finish it, it always makes me sad, but then I start it over and it makes me happy again. The Nuts-and-Bolts version for 360 is nothing compared to the N64 version. A must have!
2) If you own PS1 disk version and a PS2 and you beat Shao Khan, who is the final boss, in arcade mode or you go through 8-Player Tournament, you canNOT select any of Shao Khan's treasures, your game will merely have a black screen. To solve this problem, reset the game in your PS2 system to resume Kombat gameplay (again) or just own an old PS1 system.
The card game - triple triad is Square's answer to your mini-game cravings. Although I think people really wanted a bunch of simple mini-games here and there, Triple triad is so deep and addictive you'll forget about those mini-games. There are hundreds (I believe) of cards to collect, and you can battle almost anyone in a card game. There are different rules from different areas of the world, so you'll have a good challenge. And once you build up your collection of cards, you can change them into items to help you upgrade your weapons!
Collision detection is poor.
Cons:
7408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Haha what can I say about this game,that hasn't already been said? I know it's goofy,and really lame,but it's a total trip! Haha It's just one of those things,that are so bad,that they are good. Great in this case,I would say. This game will have you laughing your a** off the whole time you're playing it. Especially if you're playing through the story mode haha To me,Shaq fu is just one of those guilty pleasures hehe
8934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 3D is good and so is 2D, people should not display ignorance in themselves by saying simply because humans mastered one artform prior to another, the prior is inferior. 2D is not inferior because that is the same as saying blue is more primitive than red. It makes no sense. They are both rendered differently and express game content differently. Besides, it is not as if 3D is really 3D anyways since you use a flat 2D TV screen to view the fake 3D environment. If you could pass your hand through the TV into the environment it would be 3D.
This is an FPS, through and through. Its not an RP game, though it does a great job in story telling. Piece of advice, keep CD2 in the drive while playing the game or you will miss the movies that explain much of the plot and add a lot of atmosphere. I noticed a few reviewers seemed to miss the thread of the story and most likely its because they missed the movies. You need to have QuickTime installed to see the movies, provided on the game's cd though its an old version. Movies ran fine with QT6 on my machine. You can also run a setup from CD2 and install the music and movies to your hard drive. (Yes, this means you can run the game without having the cd in the drive, this feature really dates the game.)

3011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though the Final Fantasy series was already incredibly popular in Japan, before this game was released in the United States RPGs were not quite as well known as other kinds of games. Final Fantasy 7, the first Final Fantasy on the Playstation and to use 3D graphics, changed everything about the console RPG genre. Even though people will have differing opinions about the enjoyability of this game, no serious gamer would deny the tremendous influence Final Fantasy 7 has had on videogaming.
Game play takes place in scenarios which are meant to allow us to delve into all aspects of the game. Some objectives may involve accumulating the largest personal worth or hauling the most cargoes or creating the wealthiest company. Still others may be as simple as connecting two cities or doing something else the fastest. Income is earned hauling cargo. There are dozens of cargo types, either as inputs or output from the dozens of industries that are featured. Setting up is simple. Choose from one of 3 station sizes, lay your track and choose your engine. There are dozens of trains available (not all at once - it depends on the historical period) The secret to making substantial income is to lay routes that create a production cycle. For example: two cargoes available are iron and coal; haul these to a steel mill; take the steel output plus orchard crops to a cannery and then haul the resulting food back to your city completing the cycle and earning all along the way.
However, the game is leaning over to the childish side, given the fact that the intermission and title screen music are grin-inducing for older people, since Yoshis were heard singing. The difficulty isn't steep, either. You can whop through the game pretty easily. Although, I would still recommend this game to you. That is, if you can look past the kiddy parts of the game.
5834 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VIII is probably the most maligned game in the Final Fantasy series. While many people loved the game, many also didn't because of its overall change in direction and atmosphere. Well, regardless of how different it may be, Final Fantasy VIII is still an excellent game and belongs in every RPG fan and Playstation Owner's collection.
Good Replay value..
-One of the best and most revolutionary game ever..period
As with all good adventures, it made me want to rush home from work to spend another evening figuring out difficult puzzles, wading through the compelling story, and guessing just what suprise would come next...despite my reluctance to discover just where this strange little story would take me next.
2497 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its awesome the way you fight and if you get enough wins you get NESS-the best character ever! NESS is from the ultra-rare Super Nintendo game,EarthBound!(i actually own both) While I am writing this i am listening to earthbound music. IT RULES ALL COMBAT GAMES! NOW CLASH EM'!
The big surprise is that it works on a Windows 8 computer! Sure, there are Graphics issues, especially with Spell effects; but, for Heaven's sakes, buy this game! You will be moved....

Playablity. Play it every once in awhile(like combat flight sim) and it will keep your interest. With the total time stat it will give you an incentive to try to beat your old time.
1987 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to play this game all the time as a kid and it was just as awesome as I remembered. It worked and looked great.
9571 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Despite the game being over 10 years old, it still rocks hard!
Half the game is on foot in a Goldeneye/Duke Nukem kind of way. You open doors, collect things, can fly around with a jet pack, and have to do things to get to certain area first before moving on the level and things like that. The rest of the game is flying and shooting in your ships.
8248 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Doom is by far one of my favorite video games of all time, it broke grounds for today's action and shooters. But, the control is horrible for snes version, maybe because my first play was on a sps.
8083 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first started playing this game, I realized several things. First, the single player is pretty weak. This game was obviously designed as primarily a multi-player game. Single player CAN be fun, but for a RPG, the game is pretty linear. I mean, you can pick from several pre-designed phrases when talking to certain NPC's. According to what responses you pick, your "humanity" rating will either be raised or lowered. Humanity is basically defined as how "human" your character still is. In other words, if your character has low humanity, then you are closer to becoming a monster, and if it drops completly to 0, then you don't have any more control over your character, and you have to start from you last save point. Naturally, only the most sadistic and demented players will actually reach a score of 0, as you literally have to go and kill civilians over and over to get a score that low. However, I've found a way around this. If you use the spell "Theft of Vitae", you can get all the blood from humans you want, and your humanity score will not be lowered! Yet, if you "feed" from a human (meaning you bite the person and drain their blood in the "traditional" vampiric way) and actually kill them through doing this, your humanity score will go down. The manual is also not very clear on what raising your humanity actually involves. I literally had to play through the game several times before I realized what things I had to say in order to have a higher humanity rating. However, at the end of the game, if your humanity is very low, let's say 5 (out of 100), the last boss will say something to you, and you will have three choices to pick. Thus, you can get all three endings by having a low humanity score! Yet if your humanity score is high, (I think above 50), then you only get the "good" ending, and you can't even see the other ones! Obviously, then, there's almost no incentive to keep your humanity high, which is one of the most critical (and tragic) elements of any Vampire:The Masquerade game.
Have fun tycoon, or are you more of the Robber-baron type?
Its sooooooooo awsome!!!!!!!!!
The thing that sets these games apart from most first person shooters is that you do more than run around and kill things. You have to make moral decisions, solve puzzles, and use tactics to your advantage. By the first hour or so of gameplay you'll easily lose yourself.
Games of this type all do the same thing - you layout streets and houses, little people move in, and you gradually add services and extras to make them happier, more wealthy. You make sure every neighborhood has a policeman and a firewatch, a market, someplace to worship, and some entertainment. Pharoah improves over Simcity by actually showing you your citizens as they walk from place to place. The streets are packed with people as they go about their business. You must also create jobs and establish industries, thus creating goods for you to sell or your citizens to use. It is a basic game that is fun for anyone of any age.
4446 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't sToP pLAYinG.!!! I rediscovered this game after running into a mod site (got google? Keyword mantera gs5 impz xorgate lomse) and downloaded the mod and more importantly MODIFICATION TOOLS that allows access to the game's engine to edit spells units artifacts and other aspects of the game's engine.
Fun to play and you can spend alot of time mastering to get the gold.
4294 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A Game that is still in my library with its sequel.. Yeah I like it that much, found it addictive and imaginative as well. It is date by today's standards and likely the online play is dead as it was when I attempted to play there. Not to mention those out there playing online are usually hardcore and own any new people as well which was a major frustration when I finished first person a long time ago and attempted to go online haha. This game was fun with its story and is one I consider reloading at times after so many disappointments with newer games that just don't satisfy someone who has played for so many years nor someone who wants to spend so much for so little these days. Today's game are pretty much knock offs, level racing, mindless hack and slash, limited originality, limited character uniqueness and profit versus gamer motivated today as well. If you want to give it a try I'd say it is worth the ten bucks.. If you really like it the sequel is good as well. Space Command and Conquer is a good way to think of this game with a mobile mother ship for game play though it is more multi-directional that c and c.. Control might take a little to get use to but who expects a game to practically play itself lol..
Buy it. It'll be $20 that go a very, VERY long way.
Game-play: The object of each stage is simple, collect 20 blue chips, defeat the Ideya Captures, and return to the Ideya Palace. There are four parts of each stage, and destroying all four Ideya Captures ends the stage and sends you to the boss room. Each part of the stage is played like a lap around the course, each is different than the other, and has the chips and Ideya Captures in different areas. NiGHTS can attack enemies by using the drill attack, or by doing a paraloop around them. You start the stage as one of the dreamers (Elliot or Claris) and walk your way to NiGHTS to officially start the stage. NiGHTS is entirely controlled in the air, he flies through each part of the stage, doing all kinds of loops and acrobatic techniques all the way. Anyway, it's a little hard at first, but the more you play, the better you get at it, NiGHTS moves so fluid in the air, he/she never feels stiff or robotic. *10/10*
5346 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is so Awesome to play and i cant stay off this game. yep so worth the money to buy
Graphics: 8.5
Pros: Fair Graphics, Fair selection of flyable aircraft, good AI, Fair menu.
255 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good memory card it has a good saving memory I like it after I lost my other one I got this one buy it I recommened it
Even the newer PS2 games with all their fancy graphics cannot match up to PD in all aspects. Let's just hope that the next installment of PD is just as good, and has all the fun fun toys that the original has (remember now kiddies that although Rare is making what is being called "Perfect Dark Zero", at least some of the Rare team has gone off to play on the Free Radical Team, we'll just have to sit and wait I guess).
14. High Security Compound
The most superb 2-D Side scroller I've ever had the chance to play. Fun, Challenging, Clever. The 'world' in this game is HUGE, and the variety of unique monsters and bosses (none of which are clones of each other, in terms of tactics and strategies to beat them) make this game even more challenging (sometimes annoying, but in a good way; a way that allows for some thought into finding better ways to beating them). And the dialogue between characters, it's like watching an animated movie, in terms of scripting (beautiful and intriguing, not shallow, or bombastic).
119 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it. It works on the Xbox 360 and the WII U
Seriously, this game is great if you just want to kill half an hour, or if you need an all-night gaming session.
9345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love all the Zelda games so I am partial to giving perfect scores to this series. This was the first Zelda game I had ever played and I was caught from the first time I turned it on and went down to the shore to get my sword and start my adventure into the world of Zelda. The world is large with lots of fun areas to explore and a fun side quest that has you walking all over the world, but wanting what was at the end. I made lots of notes and ended up making a guide for it. This is a timeless game that will endear you as well.
Special powers aren't really anything too new. Mario can still become Super Mario (what happens when you get the mushroom) and spit fireballs. The new one is when he gets bunny ears which causes him to float in the air and continously jump when you hold the jump button. Which is also good is when you get hit when you have fire power or the bunny ears, you just become super mario again and not become small.
1015 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the greatest game in the entire Legend of Zelda video game series. Period.
354 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 charges my micro just fine. take it with me most the time. worth getting if you have a micro
Considering the fact that the DC game flow has stopped, you can still pick up a system(if you can find one), at least 10 or 15 games, a second controller, and a memory card or two for the same price, or less, than a PS2 or X-Box, which come with no games whatsoever.
1400 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was one of my favorite games on the N64...one of 10 or 12...anyway, this game is stunning graphicly (for it's time) and the gameplay is a blast and challenging
Difficulty- 4/10 (Note- This is how much I like the difficulty)
Overall this game is real good and I recommend it to anyone who has little kids who like Rugrats.
The BIG problem I have with the game is the play control. The editorial comment says "less than perfect controls", well that is an understatement. You have to hold down the right trigger to use your weapons, this makes firing while running and firing while retreating overly complex. Moreover, you have to go into the menu screen every time you want to pick up or use an item. There just had to be a better way.
- It's much easier to build Gun towers now. Instead of being near a power station, they must be adjacent to a relay bunker. You can also use the relay bunker's console to access a top-down view of the battlefield. This means you can 'hop' gradually towards an enemy base, building relay bunkers and gun towers as you go.
Triple Yahtzee - Essentially 3 cards of Yahtzee on one card, with multipliers (1x, 2x, 3x)
Now, I've read that some people are complaining that it doesn't always work. Here are two possible reasons, 1. They're using the wrong version of a game 2. The game cartridge is not securely attached to the gameshark.
Im sure you all know the story by no so I?ll comment on the graphics which are still awesome, This is without a doubt the best game on Dreamcast even a year after it?s release it still crushes most other games. The gameplay is only slightly improved from the originals but hell, ?If It Ain?t Broke, Why Fix It?, The game is well structured with a variety of puzzles, suspense and plenty of action.
To sum it all up the story is about Jill desperately trying to escape Raccoon city alive. And the first part of the story actually takes place like a day before the events of Resident Evil 2. The main conflict in the story is that Umbrella corp. has secretly dispatched a mutant tyrant called "Nemesis" into Raccoon city to seek out and destroy all the remaining S.T.A.R.S members. Namely Jill and Brad Vickers. I won't spoil the ending for anyone and I think most RE fans know what happens anyway.
7841 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent game you can play close to 70 hrs or more getting all of the stars of destiny is very hard but not impossible i finnished the game 100%
There is also another monsters thats and extra for the game. I think the monsters name is Miyakis or something like that.
Sure it's a classic and if you really like the series go ahead and buy it. But if you want the true best strategy game of 1999, go and check out Homeworld it's a far better game.
Music is usually catchy.
494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If I could have give 6 stars for this game, I would have. I played this originally when it first came out in 1996. Back then, games such as Resident Evil and Tomb Raider were ground-breaking milestones in entertainment known as video games. I won't talk about Resident Evil here because everyone knows about that.
-Before I forget, THE SPEED DASH IS A MUCH WELCOME ADDITION! This aids in the speedy level design because now you have a new way to take off turbo-charged from a standstill.
Other than that, Mortal Kombat Special Forces is an awesome game. It's a game any respectable Mortal Kombat fan would and should add to their collection.
If you are really a B17 nut though and you want total realistic immersion in that plane then you'll like the sim.
There is a massive fan community on the web that has devoted hours to writing special tools and "trainers" to let you unlock a few things this game's designer didn't see fit to add. But don't let that scare you away. Without any of those things you will find hours of enjoyment, especially if you are a theme park nut.
In the game, you play Fox McCloud, a young determined fighter pilot who is sent on several missions to destroy Andross, a inane, mad genius that demands full control of the Lylat system. There are 15 remarkable stages that let you encounter in the entire game, alone over twenty-five different paths you decide on your way to Andross. The graphics are so realistic and full of promise, that you see the game so vividly, you feel like you're a part of it. In Starfox 64, you also have the use of 3 different vehicles, depending on your course, Arwing, Landmaster Tank, or the Blue Marine sub, only used in the Aquas sea level. The game also has a fierce battle level, for up to 4 players, where you shoot down your fellow squadron leaders, Peppy, Falco, and Slippy.
With all the unlockables this game is a great value. If you loved Parappa you should definitely buy a copy. And even if you didn't, you may want to give it a try. I have yet to find a person who enjoyed playing the two-player with me, but the five minutes my older sister Codemaster Talon did play with me were pure magic :)
Here lies another fault in the game.
I extremelly recomend it, since its up to task.
Extreme G features single player and muli-player modes. It is set in the future and you choose one of several bikes to race on 12 tracks in 3 separate classes. As you pass each track, you unlock them in the multi-player modes. You can choose to just race against your opponents/friends or turn on weapons and blast anyone who gets in your way to 1st place. While the single player modes only allow 1 player, the multi-player modes allow up to 4 players so when you are done with the story mode, grab some friends to go at it in normal races, battle races and capture the flag style races. Beat the story mode in certain difficulty levels and you unlock a bonus track and 2 powerful bikes.
Buy this if you liked Lotr!(Lord of the Rings)!
All in all, this is a great game for your PC. It's like a drug, how addictive it is. You might need a prescription to get off of it!
790 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved this game when I was younger. Bought it and still love it.
8372 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let's get one thing straight: This game is HARD! But it is also a great deal of fun! There are three playable characters, each of whom has their own special abilities and characteristics. The play control is very solid, and the graphics are absolutely astounding. Add in a killer sound track, and you have one heck of a game. The ONLY thing that keeps ths game from a 5-star rating is it's devilishly hard difficulty level. There are several moments when you have to make precision jumps, land near-impossible shots, and survive without any power-ups or health items. Luckily, there are check points spread liberally throughout each level that allow you to save your progress. [With a good price], this game is a STEAL that should find its place in EVERY adventure-lover's library!
The video game consists of bad punchline dialog before the fights, a plot that's just predictable and stupid, lame graphics, and controls that are so agonizing to handle that it's just completely pointless.
Simulants: There are now simulants you can fight in Multiplayer, on different settings: Meat Sim (self explanatory), Easy Sim(comparable to an amateur), Normal Sim (combarable to an average human player), Hard Sim (comparable to a very good human player), Perfect Sim (self explanatory), Dark Sim (Created by the fictitious Data Dyne corporation this Sim is almost impossible to defeat!). The Sims can also be set to 13 different characteristics!
7847 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun N64 game that has awesome cheat-codes to boot. A great shooter/collector game
Pac-Attack is a Tetris-inspired puzzle game where, after certain blocks, you must guide Pac-Man to where there's a line of ghosts to eat up. You can also clear lines like in Tetris. There's also a Puzzle Mode where you HAVE to eat all the ghosts. If Pac-Man misses, one Pac-Man is docked off. You would normally start with 3 per level (Or is it 5?).

1447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item was exactly as described, prompt delivery and well-packaged!
9432 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 quake 64 is one of the best 1st person shooters i have ever played the game is very similer to doom so doom fans will like this game the game has multieplayer mode 2 player and 4 player with the expansion pack installed the multieplayer is a great feature and ads great replay value does the multieplayer feature make quake 64 better than doom no but its close
Another thing you may notice about the Nintendo 64 is how it has a cartridge slot--as opposed to the Sega Saturn and Playstation having disc drives. Because of the Nintendo 64's lack of a disc drive, its games cannot hold the space or audio quality of disc-based games. But--because the discs are on cartridges--the long loading times we experience with the Playstation are virtually nonexistent here.
9977 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It took awhile but finally completed the game. Although Contact doesnt really require you to spend 40 to 50 hours to complete it. You can probably should do more than just run through the game. Otherwise you are liable to miss out on some cool sidequests and other items that you would miss. You are controlling Terry or whatever you name him as he has washed up on a beach on deserted island. The professor and his pet make contact with him waking him up after he's collapsed.
I also have a little secret to tell all you guys, something I learned long ago and wrongly assumed everyone knew. If you press the buttons B, A, R, R, Y in sequence quickly enough(within five seconds should do it) while in the difficulty menu, you will enter another menu where you can go to any level of the game(even the minigames), and also turn on an 'invincible mode' cheat which allows you to be attacked without taking damage(doesn't save you from falling in lava, water, down pits, or getting hit by boulders though).
I wouldn't waste time or money on this title. I still think the better N64 wrestling game was WCW/NWO or WCW Revenge. If you really want to play this bad attempt, then go ahead but I won't be responsible when after you play it, realize that it WAS THAT BAD and throw it out the window.
5399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What could be more satisfying that destroying buildings, eating people and going on a global rampage as a mutated monster?
375 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this game way back and recently played it again.. well..
6101 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am getting back into my old ps1 and needed a controller. This was cheap and works great. I got a used one and it works great.
This is an AMAZING game and it could be great for any nature-lover who doens't know a thing or care about Pokemon. Its sad to see that this gem has expired and that Nintendo has not made another entry to any series in the vein of this game.
861 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 There's many that love this so-called masterpiece, but the only thing I like about this boring/repetitive game is the great soundtrack. Sticking to the superior original.

The gun's are so cool and easy the use and it's fun to blow people away and see lot's and lot's of blood. ONLY 17 + 18 AND UP CAN PLAY THIS GAME I JUST WANT YOU TO BE SAFE OK...
3994 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As Levant (or whatever you name him), you make your quest to save your village from the locuse of apocalypse. Going into forests and catching fierce beasts to protect yourself and others is a journey for the strong. You can even catch beasts and merge them with others. So if you want a game that's like Pokemon with a awesome twist, by this game!

3416 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent!!!
3598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 (Confession of a once Sony Fanboy)... Ever since I bought the Sega Saturn and it died miserably I had my doubts about Sega. The Dreamcast was launched on 09/09/99 and I was at a Toys R Us when loads of people were lined up to purchase this system. I thought about getting it (I had the money), but I committed myself to never trust Sega. I took Sony's side and bowed to stick to Sony. When the Dreamcast dropped in price for $... I decided to buy one because of the great 2D fighting games which are unavailable on PS2 or are poor attempts on PS1. I bought the Sonic Bundle for $... and stocked up on VMU's and bought an extra controller. I bought all the fighting games I could get: King of Fighters DM 99, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Capcom vs SNK, and ordered SF 3: 3rd Strike. I also bought Jet Grind Radio and Resident Evil Code Veronica. All I have to say is this: I was wrong for not giving SEga another chance. I love my Dreamcast and I play it 300% more often than I play my PS2. As a matter of fact, I don't even play my Ps1 or Ps2 anymore, I just use it for the DVD, DREAMCAST is A GREAT SYSTEM regardless if it is dead. In the end it is the funfactor that counts and not the popularity. Thank you Sega for bringing forth a great system. THE DREAMCAST IS TRULY SUPERB.

4. Tomb Raider 5: Chronicles
The game is obviously very challenging, most challenging out of 3, and graphic is just sweet, JUST SWEET-. The music was done by Zuntata, whose work involve with Darius Gaiden and Ray Storm, and you can really tell and will be grateful.
One of the great overlooked features of this game is eliminating the RPG ritual known as "leveling up". In final fantasy VIII, you don't need leveling up. Just play along with the story and rather try to keep all your levels the same.
#2 Laptop Gun - An extraordinary gun that performs fast shooting bullets in its normal use. However, if you throw it on the ground or onto a random wall, the next time someone comes within its sight, they get shot at. It will use all its bullets if it must!

3525 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off, this is not the only color of the memory cards. There are many colors. You can save games onto this from Dreamcast games. It works as a clock. You can manage and copy files, and the connector things on the end allow you to connect it to another VMU. it's great. Trust me.
7669 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Being the first RPG released for the playstation, and from a company such as konami which I had never seen make an RPG before really had been wondering how this would help the success of the newly found Playstation Game Console. Me, being the game guy I am, got Playstation the day it came out and was looking for the best games around. I first rented this game and I was amazed. A RPG that has more then 8 characters in the game. In this game you have the capability of getting 108 (no joke folks) characters that are all different some how way or shape. Along with a great storyline, will have you sucked in for hours on end. Take my advice, I have beaten this game 6 times and I'm still not tired of it, go for it! Goodluck shopping/browsing everyone!....
1083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in the late 1990s I wrote two articles for a now defunct game website about "Ocarina of Time". One is a review of the title, and the other is the how in many ways Ocarina of Time feels like a remake of the eternal SNES classic (and my personal favorite Zelda game), THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST. Rather than leave them unposted, I issued them on Amazon back in 2007, one article on the "Collector's Edition" ("Zelda 64 a Remake?" and and one on the "Regular" edition (an actual review of the game). When the 3DS version came out, I wrote a review of that and included both articles on the review as well for bonus content. Originally this review only featured one of the two articles - I am now putting both articles up.
1233 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I should probably review some modern games while I'm here, but I've been kinda GTA'ed out recently, so I decided to put the PS3 away for a minute and bring up some old games from the past to see if they're just as fun as I remember them as. One of those titles was WCW/nWo Revenge.
A strange feature in these boxes is that you can get Tawna tokens that act as a bonus level so you can get some extra fruit and one ups. Whats weird is that Tawna is in this level but she doesnt let you rescue her for some odd reason, but whats even stranger is that completing the bonus level is the only way to save the game or get a password. I don't understand why early PlayStation games didn't allow you to save anytime you want. Every video game that can support a memory card should do that, I hate writing down passwords so I can continue. But the password is only eight digits and the main buttons on the PlayStation controller act as the characters so its at least not a long and annoying password.
3171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back when this game came out, I received a video tape of the game in the mail, I watched it several times, that was the day I decided that the Playstation was a good system, I ended up buying the game first, then getting the system for my birthday 2 weeks later. This game is the best Playstation game ever made, not to mention the best RPG. I have played through it twice, the first time by myself, and the second time with the Official guide book, it was amazing both time through, I spen 76 hours the first time, and 90 hours the second. The second time took longer because I got my characters levels up really high like 99.
- outstanding replay value
1007 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart 64 is the true 3D Nintendo 64 sequel to Super Mario Kart. Since the characters wouldn't look so great on karts in 3D on the N64, the sprites are in 2D, which explains how they are fully detailed.
It's a lot like Golden Axe
Anyway, the point is, as far as these games go, this seems to be a pretty entertaining one, and my son likes it quite a bit.
8519 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works good
For Suikoden II however, this crutch ironically happened as a result of what I can only
- Lots of different and unique fighters
Thank you for reading poor English.
Don't expect to use your torpedoes with this game either. They miss almost every time you launch them. And it isn't because of anything you're doing wrong: they just miss. The game is also very hard to figure out in its ship setup stage. If you want to load certain shuttles on your ship, you actually have to tell the game to NOT load them to get them to be there. It is backwards thinking, and I cannot believe that they shipped the game with errors in the interface like this.
As I surf around the internet reading peoples opinions and thoughts on video games, I like to search for reviews from people who reviewed innovative games back in the day, and compare those reviews to the most recent ones to see if the general opinion has changed any, as the years went by. Sometimes a game that seemed unstoppable back in the day won't be remembered today, such as Earthworm Jim. With Resident Evil 2, opinions have remained extremely positive all these years later. People are *still* talking about Resident Evil 2 today, in 2007. Why? What IS it about Resident Evil 2 that makes people keep coming back for more?
9260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ah Secret of Evermore. This game was only hurt by the mere fact that it was before it's time.
9257 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 There should be a very easy setting. The game is much too difficult for me which makes it unplayable.
8949 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Such a fun game! Plays great. Only game nothing else.

8413 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario RPG is a true classic that stands the test of time. One of the best games I've ever played. Simple turn based RPG staring mario, peach, bowser and a few great characters created just for the game. Truly a game you must play, and one that you can play over and over.
Pros:
In a word, "Goldeneye" is amazing. It takes full advantage of the 64 bit technology and delivers a smooth, fun, and challenging adventure. You assume the role of James Bond, the secret agent who needs no introduction. You run through various missions, which tie into the movie, and solve various problems and perform various tasks. What complicates things is the number of guards who are ready to kill you on sight. As expected, you have a number of weapons at your disposal, from the silenced pistol and machine gun, to the grenade launchers and high-powered explosives. The first-person perspective adds amazing realism to this game, with action and controls that are as smooth as James Bond's charm.
7963 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 possibly the greatest super nintendo game hands down
Overall: A simply amazing game, considering how much they put into one little box. Lots of fun on line or off. One of my top regulars.
937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game
Cons: Story, easy last boss (though getting there is very tough), only 16 characters in your army, inability to send recruited NPCs on quests and jobs, quest system is a joke (the jobs you accept in bars), average summon animations, Rafa and Malak suck, kind of feels like cheating to raise your permanent brave and faith levels...
9789 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i am scared to play it
The Bottom line here is that Megaman 8 is another perfect Megaman game that seems to just get better with every installment that needs to be in everyones Playstaition collection 10/10

9167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1997, Intelligent Qube came out and completely took the puzzle world by storm. Much like Tetris, Intelligence Qube was a game that was nothing short of simplistic. Because of its simplistic formula, however, it was a widely addictive game that really forced you to use your brain. Unfortunately, the game is extremely rare these days and like many rare highly sought after video games, comes at ridiculous prices.
If you like this game then check out, Legend of Dragoon, by the way.
7. Iron Man (With the Infamouse "Proton Cannon!")
The gameplay isn't that great, also. The N64 version is much better, because the gameplay is more up to date and realistic, and plus the graphics are what the graphics SHOULD be like on the new and modern consoles.
1)The console is the cheapest out of the consoles coming out.
The graphics are indeed quite stunning. id Software's QUAKE 3 engine is still, I think, the best out there. Other game engines have come close, but the QUAKE 3 engine still is a thing of beauty.
The fatalities are back as well as the animalities.
Anyways, rather than subject this review with every little detail of the game, i will simply state, the game rocks, because it is so innovative, so drawing, and so damn good just plain and simple. A must have for any gamer.
3117 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The only, only, only, only, only, only, thing that I didn't like about Final Fantasy VII was the Materia system. It takes an eternity to master all of the Materia. Other than that, this IS the greatest game ever.
9529 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the First Ever Computer Game i Purchased when i was a kid, it was awesome and spend months trying to figure it all out... recently me and my Girlfriend bought it to kill some time, too bad my memory was better than expected and in a matter of 2 Weeks we finished it, but no worries, we got the next chapter already ;-)
Resolution: 160 x 144 pixels (same as the original Game Boy)
1755 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is the second in a long line of Crash Bandicoot's. This Game is almost totally flawless (but hey, every game can't be perfect but this game comes damn close.)
The characters are cool(i like the Necromancer).
Overall, this game so far has been awesome. My only complaint would be what I said earlier about switching the GF junctions around, but that is just a small matter with such a wonderful game.
6452 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had been a die-hard fan of AOE for about a year and a half before AOE2 hit the shelves. I didn't pick it up until about March but I loved this one twice as much as the first and here's why: (1) Unlike the first, AOE2 offers you the ability to garrison units which is great for an ambush. (2) AOE2 also offers players the ability to place units in formations such as the box, staggered, etc. (3) New scenarios which actually help players learn to craft and fine-tune their skills. (4) The ability to save a multi-player game. How many times have you been in an awesome two hour game when something comes up; no more. (5) Great new customizable scenario building tools that make it more fun then ever. (6) Castles, Unique Units, and all the other new buildings and techs. (7)Trading from the market- a simple way to trade for that 200 gold for the easy castle from the feudal age. (8) Recorded games- a great way to fine-tune your skills by learning from a master. (9)More Random Maps for total playability. (10) Right-Click farming, ah, that is what get's me on this game. Before you had to click a villager click the build, etc. No more! Just right-click the farm, saves you plenty of much-needed playing time. Age of Empires 2 outdoes its predecessor by far and becomes highly addictive and playable day after day after day.
9404 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the reason why I bought a 3D accelerator card for my PC. Simply Amazing. The best game ever made by Psygnosis, too bad Wipeout 3 is only on the PlayStation. (Boo-hoo)
9533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You really do get the feel of absolute abandon and isolation while playing Myst. The graphics may be rather dated now (especially compared to the modern graphics in Uru and Myst IV) but it's easy to get immersed in the quiet, lonely environment and believe your actually there. The sound effects and music are slight and subtle rather than overbearing like in other video games.
Another gripe: WAY TOO SHORT. If Al Gore had played and beaten this game, he would have demanded a recount and a re-recount. (LOL...oh, the political humor!)
5957 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game, great graphics, great selection of items to find.
Overall, either version is a good purchase, but I personally like the Playstation version more.
His grin is what ruined it for me. This is one of rockstars best
4891 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you don't buy this game now, you are a crackhead. This is easily the best RPG ever to grace any videogame system. This game FAR surpasses anything even today. The only complaints I would have with this game are the result of future suikodens giving fans what they asked for. Namely jeane as a playable character, more of her boobs and less clothing. Mcdhol makes an appearance in this as you can load the save game from the first suikoden- a very original idea. Much of what needs to be said has been said by others. If you don't add this game to your collection you belong in a psyciantric hospital.
9677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it. It doesn't need action, or a story. It's JUST A GAME. No need to spend hours grinding away, or learning some confusing story. You take pictures of Pokemon. Simple as that.
1: It gives off way too many hints to how to complete a puzzle or beat a boss(EXAMPLE: On the first time you fight Bowser, he says "Can you get behind me and grab my tail? I think not!"
Let me start off by saying that this game is so fun. And I mean it's exceedingly fun. Even alone. You play as a character named Joanna Dark. The one-player mode, although I've only played it once since I re-bought the game, is pretty solid. You have a few select objectives to pull off on each and every mission. It gets harder as you go along. The music is solid and memorable, but the graphics aren't great. They're slightly above average at best for the N64.
9707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Emperor Caesar has allotted you the task of building a city and managing its affairs in a certain region of the Roman Empire as your 1st assignment. You are asked to meet certain victory conditions such as food storage targets, a desired population, a certain amount of Imperial Favor, rise in Cultural Rating and so on. If you are able to attain these goals the Emperor promotes you to a higher rank of nobility and yet another challenging task to perform. If not you are fired and that is the end of your newfound career as a clerk.
436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Breath of Fire 3" is a very interesting and well made game. The plot is pretty good, and the characters are interesting and memorable. One thing I do miss from the older "Breath of Fire" is the way they transformed into dragons; the process in the current game is excellent (I just prefer the older methods). My favorite part of the game is that you start off playing a young version of the character, and then later in the game, you get to play a more mature version of the same character. This game is a lot of fun and suitable for most people who enjoy the genre.
Overall, it's definitely one of the greatest platformers I have ever played. I may prefer Super Mario World as the best of all, but this game certainly comes close to winning that title.
9400 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is all around just a great game if you like the wipeout series. I am only missing two games in this series and that's the ps2 version of pulse and another ps2 version i can't recall of the bat which i heard was the worst wipeout game. This game however is my favorite. I also bought a PS3 just for wipeout HD I love this series!
4738 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great on its own merits. However, it is a breakaway from the traditional Castlevania level based format. Second of all, you are not one of the Belmonts, or a human at all (you are a half-vampire). Thirdly, you do not have a whip, you have a sword. Despite the breaking of many of the Castlevania traditions, this is a spectacular game. Great graphics, great music, great gameplay. As a consolation, there is a way to play as Richter Belmont after beating the game.
Of all the "classic" Sonic games and with the entire Sonic game library, this one is the best. Like Sonic 1, it's been re-issued countless times and is available with other Sonic games like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (Xbox 360, PS3) and available as individual game downloads on Steam.
8316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 well what can i say? this game is in the Pitt's ehehe
all in all this package is worth any cost just for number 6.
But DARN is it ever fun fighting your opponents in this game. Over and over and over! You can deliver combos (which are fun and easy to pull off, unlike in Mortal Kombat) and a ton of really cool moves. Unlike in other games you don't have to be fast to deliver a combo. You just have to hit the right buttons at the right times.
Graphics: Great considering the Ram limitations of the PSX(like that was a problem for this game in the 1st place), and they were done with POLYGONS, yes, POLYGONS!
6002 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although it may not be the most innovative or the most expansive game on the market, Age of Wonders captivates the hearts of gamers withits solid tried-and-true gameplay. Even if the game borrows details from several others, it just improves so much on the gameplay that it's hard not smile. While the game lacks any randomness, it captures the old-school feeling of true feudalism. The color palette is fantastic and I was surprised at the superior quality of the music - excellent, to say the least. The units are well-balanced, and despite the low number of different unit types the game allows for a fascinating amount of strategy, unlike the other games which mainly specialize in getting as many units, items, and characters on-screen as fast as possible.
Graphics: 9/10
There are a couple of boss fights thrown in such as a helicopter midway and Rhoemer himself at the end. I found all gameplay elements to be evenly tossed up so you are never bored. The stealth elements need a bit of work and are probably the worst thing about the game, but it is very minor. Crouching and sneaking around works fine, but enemies tend to see you at unknown distances. Maybe a line of sight cone on the radar would help this. You also have to get in head shots otherwise they won't die right away and alert other guards.
6912 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 In my opinion, the only thing this game has going for it is that it didn't have any competition in the field of RPGs until the Zelda action RPGs. The developers of this game should be ashamed of themselves for creating this. I bought the game a couple of years ago and it still sits there and collects dust. I probably played it for four hours or so and put it away. I want those four hours back that I wasted. Nevermind, I would just waste them anyways.
1812 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let me just say that this game looks cool but in case you don't know what this game is about read this: okay N cortex is back...... to save the world? And he is asking his rival Crash? Or is this something to trick Crash? Find out in Crash Bandicoot 2.
(Buy this for PS if you don't have a pc-wait! Everyone has a PC!)
- Takes place in a medieval type of world similar to Dungeon and Dragons
--- All of your stats level up with use, e.g. getting hit increases your HP. And to beat some bosses, you have to grind up your stats.
Personally, I bought this CD for the sole purpose of playing MY favorite game "BATTLE ZONE"! Yes, the other games are great fun, and perfectly translated for the playstation console! With games like Centipede, Battle Zone, Super Breakout, Missle Command, Tempest and Asteroids.....You just CAN"T go wrong!
Not may places to rent games
While Nintendo games tend to be pixel based, most Playstation games are polygon based, taking advantage of the Playstation's 360,000 polygons/sec speed. This tends to make images sharper and scaleable. When something moves towards you it's easy to calculate polygons, compared to expanding pixels.
1041 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is pretty darn easy. I beat most of the tracks with only a rental. It's not near as tough as the SNES version. Heck, the SNES version of Rainbow Road had no walls around the track and the track was thin to boot. Rainbow Road is a cakewalk on this one. Wide the whole way with walls all around. Too darn easy. However, there is a monster shortcut that's very dangerous to go for if you want to make things interesting.
CHARACTERS: The best. Cloud looks so cool with his gigantic sword, and the ability to rename them just adds on to the fun. As one man already said, "This is probably the first game that I've played in which a main character dies without a huge rescue or love scene right before it." Even though they're just game characters, they feel real. 10.25/10
6884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everyone remembers Dr. Mario as that amazing puzzle game that came out shortly after Tetris, and no worries because it still is amazing. Lately I have been getting back into retro games and this was an obvious pick up for my 89 Game Boy. I love the game and it is everything that I remember but... the Game Boy version was way harder than the NES version or any other version I remember. The pills come down wicked fast on the higher levels and settings. I would only pick this version of the game up if you really want to have that retro experience on your classic Game Boy.
But my fun is being a sniper! One shot they're done and whats better than seeing one of your team members up against a Heavy Weapons guy, you snipe the HW guy and your team member is like oh thank you snipers!
866 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Banjo-Kazooie is a strange platformer, but ultimately misses the mark in all key areas of being entertaining. It tries to be funny without actually being exciting to play so the game feels like a big misleading tease. All the attention on humor and yet, the game itself is hardly ever fun. This means children would probaly be able to overlook the games flaws and focus on the humor, which I'm sure was Nintendo's intentions- to market the game for kids and assume they wouldn't be able to detect the lousy game design. I guess the Nintendo 64 struggling to make a profit at the time meant Nintendo had to do absolutely anything and everything to try and get *any* type of crowd interested in their products despite the poor quality we're forced to persevere, so that explains Banjo-Kazooie's existence.
Ocarina of Time introduced a "Z-targeting system" for aiming at enemies and talking to non-playable characters. What you do is get near an enemy/NPC, press or hold Z, and then press a button to talk to them/attack them. The system pretty intuitive and well made, so much so that its successors have yet to really improve upon it.
Games Available:
The only difference is in the movies. The PC and I 'spose gaystation version had the movies & ending in video form, where as the 64 replicates them the same way using the polygons of the 3d characters themselves. I have no complaint about it, I like it wether it's video form, or 3D poly form. They both still tell the same story. Except Reiko who just walks off into a portal.. the other versions show what happens when he goes into the portal, he puts on his Shoa Kahn mask!!!! shame thats not in it.
8916 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Shivers 2, falling squarely in the family of point-and-click adventure/puzzle games, is a somewhat flawed but enjoyable, very challenging, and immersive journey. The premise of the game is that your friends, a rock band, went to a little town in the middle of nowhere to film a music video (after they earn enough money to pick up the tab, that is).. You go to visit them and find the town to be more or less deserted with the exception of a female ghost popping up now and then and some wacko running around in a stupid mask (i.e. your nemesis for this little adventure). The goal is simple: save your friends from the wacko. How do you go about that? The same as most games of its type...explore the town and solve a bunch of puzzles.
8626 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Always fun
878 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have always liked this game overall, and it will always have a special place in my heart. With that said, the rubberbanding A.I. in this game is beyond ridiculous. No lead is safe as the game cheats to catch up to you by increasing the speed of its controlled drivers to higher than they can possibly go. I don't know if later Mario Kart games ditched the rubberbanding A.I., but its presence is strong in this one.
819 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I came upon this game in the late 90s/early 00s. Me and a couple of friends would play it religiously and I must say that although the characters are better and more original in this game, Perfect Dark (if you haven't had a chance to play that) is the superior shooter.
9496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Playing this game last night I wasn't expecting to be wowed or be very entertained, but what I got was the complete opposite of bordom. Once you start playing and get into it's hard to stop playing it. It's so nostalgic and a really fun and underrated beat em up for the Super Nintendo. I highly recommend this title for anyone looking for a good beat em up game
7616 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the the best games I have ever played. If you have not played it and still own a Super Nintendo, get this game!!!
4264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had high expectations going into GK3... and I was not disappointed. I'm a longtime adventure game fan, and it's been quite a while since I've played one of this calibre. I've always wanted the kind of total freedom and interactivity the 3-D engine provides. I hope Sierra is planning to use it again. Additionally, the storyline is first-rate and well plotted. Gabriel and Grace are very human characters, and the way they relate to each and develop was perhaps my favorite aspect of GK3. Also, quite a beautiful game. If you love a good story, do buy it.
7549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For it's age, it is a good game with lots of variety.
This game is still full of an lot of things, and quite frankly it still freaks me out to play. It's sheer awesomness and I recommend.
On a side note, the cartridge I received has some... Interesting connections. I'd guess the previous owner loved and played it as much as I do haha.
4944 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game brought back a lot of fun memories that I had as a kid. The only thing I can say is that you will have a hard time playing this if you do not have a playstation controller with an analog stick. The controls are EXTREMELY difficult. I'm not sure if im just used to the modern age stuff or if the controls are supposed to be like that. Anyway good luck.
166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was scared to stretch the silicone during application, but afterward it fit very snug. It makes the controller feel much better.
2980 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 For years now,gamers have said that this is one of the greatest games ever made. I just don't understand why they think that is. Even for it's time,it was pretty dull and boring in my opinion. I remember dropping 50 bucks on this game when it first came out back in 1997,and being very dissapointed with it. The main problems I have with this game are the graphics(except the cinematics),the gameplay and some other elements. One of the main things that I hated about FF7 is,there is absolutley NO speech in this game at all. You have to read everything that the characters are saying. It gets very iratating VERY fast. All you do is read,read,read...and read some more. The combat system is way beyond confusing. It's all about they hit you,then you hit them,then they hit you with a strong attack and almost or completly kill you. The only good thing I can say about this game,is the cineamatics are beautiful. They are very nice to watch,but the characters and surrounding areas are very blocky looking...Overall,I give FF7 a two.
8893 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game plays like The Secret of Mana, but feels very unique in it's own right. The music isn't very memorable, but it's atmospheric and fits well to each section of the game. It also brings an adult male such as myself plenty wonder of what waits ahead; A feeling I haven't felt in quite sometime.
6372 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The interface is super well done. Made enjoying the game easy. It was for me a real surprise how well it was done. It did not recieve all the hype many games get yet it is as good as any other I played (i.e. Diablo, ...) and unique in many ways. As in all RPGs there is a spot or two where the play gets a bit teadious but this game had much less of this than others. Each of the three character types requires a truely different style of play. One aggressive (hack and slash with weapons and armor emphasis), one moderate (magic bent with spells and charms emphasis), and one defensive (summoner idiom with "let your friends do the killing while you try and stay out of the way" emphasis). Each requires different actions and thinking strategy, and each is just as fun as the others, just different; which means there is good replayability even if you don't go online for a fight. This game is growing harder to get these days so if you have an interest act now.
5524 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was ok I mean Sub-Zero is my second favorite charecter my first though is Scorpion and he is one of the resons I rented this game. It was an ok story but nothing really cool so I guess by it if your favorite charecter is Sub-Zero other then that you will just b! t(h about how hard it is.
Sadly, the N64 never got the sequel to the game, but its still a blessing to have received the first one. It's a great beat-em-up, and will be looked at as a classic in years to come. This is the kind of game they don't make anymore. And it's a shame, because this game is great.
3735 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I never actually played the original Sonic Adventure until I was in my mid-late teens (this game came out when I was 4 or 5). I grew up on SADX on the gamecube. The game is almost exactly the same, but the different, more vivid textures make it seem like a more realistic environment while also giving it a sense of older fashion-sense days.
1037 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I came across this game in 1999 and immediately recognized it from the cartoon from back in the 80's. I played it just to try it and I wound up getting so addicted I had to buy it for my N64. I would stay up til all hours playing it. It's rare for a game to hook me like that but this is one that is challenging yet fun so you can't help but say "okay I'ma try one more time then I'm turning it off" and still be playing a couple of hours later.
Toy Story continues the trend on Genesis of Disney games being incredibly awesome. With games like Castle of Illusion, Quackshot, Aladdin, and The Lion King, Toy Story is a game that fits into this niche quite well. It's a smooth playing, beautiful looking, great sounding console game, and it's as varied as anything you're going to find. Given its cheap price tag, you really shouldn't pass this one up.
Banjo-Kazooie was fun, until the difficulty spiked out of nowhere. Also, the idea of making a cartoonish adventure somewhat nonlinear is poorly executed in it.
Hold your breath there's more! Along with a general "Random Map" mode comes a few very exciting campaigns where you become Jonah of Arc, Barbarossa, Genghis Khan, William Wallace and more.
- King of fighters 2000 and up
8185 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best Mega Man games to date. And by far the best of the "X" series (IMO). Was my first Playstation games as a kid I got with the system. Never played a mega man game up to that point. Took a week to put it in as I didn't know a lot about it and had other games to play. But once I did... It didn't leave for a month. So many upgrades and items for reply value. And some of the best looking graphics on the ps1. Not to mention tight controls and flawless gameplay.
A game that remains entertaining longer than most and powerfully addictive the first month you purchase it. ;)
- There's more sound effects in this version pertaining to enemy deaths. I constantly hear a "splat" sound whenever you shoot those pink alien balls for example (found in Down the Tubes and Intestinal Distress). I believe even Earthworm Jim himself makes more sounds pertaining to his jumps and lands.
When I picked up this game initially, my thoughts were "SWEET! A new Super Mario Kart!" I, unfortunately, never had an SNES of my own, so my fixes came in the form of time at my friend's house.
The interface in this game is unusual. Rather than pointing and clicking with a mouse, the player controls Manny's movements with the arrow keys, waiting to see Manny's head turn to an object he becomes interested in and clicking "enter" to see what happens. This approach takes some getting used to, and can be cumbersome at times, but it places Manny at the center of the action and increases the player's identification with Manny, ultimately serving the story.
I can't believe anyone would consider buying this game, unless they had personal childhood memories attached to it and they were buying it BACK after giving it away or something. The one thing it has going for it is the selection of legendary wrestlers. Once you select one of those wrestlers and actually play the game, you're in for a nasty snail-pace surprise. So bad, so boring, so forgettable.
The length of a normal 2 min. a quarter game is about 15 minutes.
5808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As the eighth Final Fantasy, this is easily one of the best. In this game, you are part of a mercenary group called SeeD, named Squall Leonhart. The game includes 4 discs, each offering a good amount of challenge and excitement. There are 6 permanent characters and 2 temporary ones. But don't be fooled by this; I haven't told you all. I wouldn't say the music is as good as some games like Chrono Cross, but it still recieves a fair score. The game is very long, as you could guess with 4 discs, and the replay value is high enough. The challenge is high enough to shock even some RPG veterans, and the characters are easy to like. Also, there is no MP!
The main character who you play as is Solid Snake from the old Nintendo games: Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. (Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 are not re-makes of them)
Thats what the game should have bin titled..I also like how everytime you meet a character you gain them..Thats pretty cool
You will start by using a simple bulldozer to run into the buildings, but you'll soon get an assortment of vehicles. There's a Sidewinder, which uses its metallic hind to drift into buildings. You get this tiny little go-kart, which uses a turbo booster and tall heights to crash into things. You get a giant silver robot with a rocketpack, which hovers it into the sky, only to let you aerial stomp onto the roofs.
8/10
9468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Perfect ... Soooo Much FUN ... Thank You!!!
Blizzard's continuing support for the game is also excellent. They release a new map for the game every Friday like clockwork, so there are over a hundred new, well-designed maps available for download and replay.
2241 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was looking for this item for a long while, but kept coming across counterfeits that pose fire risk to the control deck, but this vendor had the real deal. Well worth the $22 I paid for an original part.
However, a few problems drag this game down to the status of only good, instead of perfect. First, when more than two players join in the multiplayer mode, things get ugly, very ugly. The framerate is simply atrocious, and is a major disappointment. And another thing, experienced player or not, you're guaranteed to die pretty quickly, which might turn away players who just want to get into the game.
6987 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Didn't work
*View cities from up to 50,000 feet
The game is pretty easy(after playing Tekken Tag on ultra hard all the time)
451 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The sequel to the very popular Tekken, Tekken 2 takes everything that the original had and expands upon it. More characters, more levels, more moves, Tekken 2 is a classic and should be in the library of any fighting game lover.
Sound/Music: Soundtrack was done by Noriyuki Iwadare who's quite talented at doing upbeat catchy themes and although music-wise it can get slightly repetitive, they're quite fun and the vocal tracks are quite stellar. Sound work otherwise is functional but not impressive as swords clang and enemies die with small groans but this isn't really one of those "immersive" sound worlds like Metroid or Bioshock where there is tons of ambience. The voice acting though is quite stellar and aside from the Metal Gear series, Lunar is usually mentioned among games that best use voice acting.
A very rewarding game from start to finish, just expect a few "broken out of sheer frustration" controllers along the way.
I was warned that the game is difficult to learn. I read the whole 170 page manual before installing it. I read the 40 page tutorial a second time before playing. After four hours of trying to get the game to work I gave up. I have an engineering degree from MIT ('93), so I'm not stupid.
Gaming tip: Avoid water!
9279 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Imagine a John Woo Hong Kong gansta movie, with Chow Yung Fat diving into a room in slow motion with his twin berettas firing, and you will understand this game perfectly. You ARE Chow Yung Fat in this game. Anytime in the game, a press of a button will throw the action into bullet time, a la The Matrix, where bullets glide by you in super slow motion, and you can react to enemies faster than humanly possible. Not only does this look darn cool, but finally you can enter a room full of 10 bad guys with your guns blazing, instead of taking glazing shots from the corners and playing hide and seek. Shoot-em ups are finally FUN!

This game gets hard very quickly. A typical battle can last up to an hour - imagine that. It would take you an hour to survive and kill about 5 enemy party members. And as I said, the game gets hard. Even some of the early battles are hard. Every time you play this game - no matter how well you know this game - it's hard. But at the same time it is a blast to play through each and every time.
Back in the days when video games for the most part were just plain clean fun and not the gorefests they are now, Sonic The Hedgehog was and still is the defining video game series of my lifetime.
I highly recommend this game to all Dreamcasters!
It would another few years before I would pick up a games console again.
AC is a bit quiet as far as ambient sound goes. Honestly, I like that. I usually listen to music while playing and this arrangement suits me just fine (and for any veterans of EverQuest, it's certainly nice to not dream about that incessant and irritating gnoll barking).
I bought Quake immediately when it first came out for the N64, because it was the first version of the awesome PC game available to me. It does not disappoint in any way. The graphics are dark, gloomy, and gorgeous. The levels are intricate with plenty of secret areas. The enemies are fast and difficult to kill....that's one of the things this game's really got goin' for it....it's VERY challenging....it'll take you numerous tries to complete some levels....the demons and monsters can and will make mincemeat out of your ass.
I love all the units, all the buildings and I'm in LOVE with the music. The soundtrack to this game is AMAZING. I love to use cheats I get off the net, it makes the game even more fun.
7254 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For fans of the original 16-bit SNES games, you couldn't ask for a better game. The once 2-D platform scrolling of "Donkey Kong Country" is now juiced up into a 3-D, free-roaming adventure. The levels are new and exciting, and offer a wicked challenge. But sometimes, the challenge is too much.
2268 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The expansion pak is the best thing since sliced bread. It is the item that revived the 64 after Dreamcast (RIP) debuted. It makes the graphics even more superior, finally putting the PSX to shame. It also helped to create enormous games, such as the excellent Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark. But here's the twist. If you don't allready have a pak or Donkey Kong 64, I would suggest you purchased them as a bundle at the very low price of ..., a steal from the Expansion Pak at ....

Cons:
The Zelda story is perfect for a video game, as the basic premise is always the same. Link, a young boy (or young man in newer games), is the reincarnated hero of time. He must battle the evil Ganon/Ganondorf to save Hyrule and princess Zelda by using the power of the Triforce.
A commentator that was funny instead of annoying.
You are Link. The Great Deku Tree, guardian of the forest in which you live, has summoned you. It's revealed that you must visit a far off castle and meet a "Princess of Destiny," and doing so brings you square into a struggle for the fate of Hyrule -- nay, the world -- itself.
8775 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 its just what i wanted works great the real deal no repo haha
8753 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 well buy form them dvd or games to playing see. them do good job on time. do there playing dvd or games
4584 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Well I received this title over the weekend, and still have not been able to get it off the ground.
- Hundreds of different abilities and magic powers to learn
The marine levels were my favourite followed by the predator. Each character has different attack modes and ways of moving. For instance, the predator can survive high jumps while the alien is the quickest and hardest to hit but takes most damage. Learnin these skills is a key to sucess. There are also nice touches like the predator being able to pull the heads off marines and aliens blood spraying at you.
--It is a long game. You don't need to do everything, obviously, but 60-70 hours is not an unrealistic expectation
4133 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game
2nd island - Slightly harder but still fun. The hardest level here is Sunset Vista.
2769 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although the technology behind this game is a little dated now, this is still an excellent puzzler for those who like games that don't involve shooting monsters. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy blowing away bad guys as much as anyone else, but it's nice to play something a little different every once in a while. This game does not depend at all on weapons or killing anything, nor does it require you to do a lot of jumping or physically manuvering around obstacles. It is entirely a "thinking" game. The closest you get to physical action is the fact that some of the puzzles to solve are mazes.
This is not really an RPG you can 'power game' your way through, more to its credit. One of the most important statistics is Wisdom, tactics are more important than brute force, and the puzzles and side quests are to be savored, not accomplished as rapidly as possible.
The levels aren't like your boring "one-way" levels. There are shortcuts, which really adds to the value of this game.
612 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Trust me, Do not buy this game. I am the local TM lover and know-all. I bought TM4, TM2, and TM3 (sadly I can't find a copy of TM1) After i bought TM2, I was looking forward to cool characters, cool battlegrounds, and semi-pixated graphics. I found none of these things. There are only 4 new characters, Club Kid, Auger, Flamethrower, and my favorite new driver, Flower Power. The levels, especially Washington DC, is a small open level, which is no fun. The North Pole is annoying, and I hate the boring London level. The graphics are cheesy, and 989 studios tried to make them look too real. The cars flip over with every tight turn you make, when another car hits you, or you drive onto a hill. This game is not realistic. This game should have 0 stars and is a disgrace to the TM title. I warn you, do not even look at this game. It is the worst. The car combat genre is in shame.
Gameplay: this is where the game really shines. the character customization is deep, making full use of the GF (Guardian Forces, this game's summons) and Magic systems. the game forgoes the MP system in favor of requiring you to draw (or absorb) your magic from enemies and draw points, which are then stocked in your magic menu, like items. 100 can be stocked for each kind, and your magic can be junctioned to your stats for increases in your HP, Atk, etc., provided your junctioned GF has that ability available.
Overall, V8 is a blast to play and the best in its genre. Forget Twisted Metal Black - this is the true king of car combat.
8869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game really gives you the sense that you are alone exploring a creepy alien world just about to the same extent as the original. While not quite as nonlinear as the original or as Super Metroid, it's still really atmospheric and engaging. It's a bit hard to keep track of where you are on the planet, so I do recommend keeping a map handy. For fans of the original Metroid, I really recommend you play through this!
2346 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game love it.
Instead of Mario becoming "looser Mario" (mini-mario) as soon as you get struck by a monster, you degrade from Flower/Cape-Mario, to big Mario, then looser-Mario. Also, if you are riding Yoshi and he gets struck by a monster, you don't degrade, but Yoshi runs away crying until you hop back on. This is easy when he gets stuck in a small area where he runs back and forth, but a bit annoying when he decides to run off a cliff. Poor Yoshi!
Bonus: There was a code you could put in where you could change the ships to different things. LIke one was a swimming shark, one was a bumblebee, and my personal favorite, the Pirhana [unlockable ship after so many gold medals] could be changed into a little pickle fying a space ship that had a minigun on it with unlimited ammo. I would blow up every competitor with in 2 laps just from that gun alone.
7844 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game when I was a kid! I don't think I ever played the game straight through, instead I used the fancy cheat code and would hop all over the game enjoying the world with my favorite weapons. I used that cheat code soo many times that I will probably never forget it. Anyways, I don't know if its aged well, but it was a lot of fun back in the day. The sequel has better graphics but its a worse game in my opinion, also the cheat codes are in normal English which is lame.
6736 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is just too bad. For such a cool character, Batman has had some bad luck with video games. This is probably the worst and that's saying a lot. This game is no fun (did you see the one star?) and is not worth anyone's time.
9141 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A few years back when I bought this game, I was blown by everything---you name it--the graphics, the plot, the gameplay, the chilling but never the less suspenseful music! Seriously, when you install and play this game, it's like something you have never experienced before!
674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who doesn't love GoldenEye and the once cutting edge graphics! Still better then a lot of the shooters out today!
Other then that I really liked this game, I loved the music, visuals, story, especially the characters and the whole world/atmosphere was beautiful and there isn't anything that really botherd me except for a few boss battles...other then that this is a must own for the Playstation. In the end I give this fantastic game a...
It's predecessor Myst was excellent preparation for the type of game this is. There is no "Action" per se, just clues and objects to work through. You don't get killed, you don't get points. You do however get an appreciation for how intricate details can be interlinked.
It can't be perfect; it's an N64 game. Despite the sound of guns and walking being off, everything else works well. The music is creepy and fits the game good. The zombies and other T-Virus infected creatures sound very disturbing, in a good way.
Beautiful.
This same game, if created today, would probably have complete moving video, but this has still screens where you use the mouse to navigate from screen to screen. The game runs fine on my system, though I have had some crashes during the treehouse level. Outside of that, I've never had compatibility or operating problems.
However, with all gripes aside, Breath of Fire 3 is a fun and engaging quest. My favorite part of the game was the characters; they are interesting, and very funny. I also liked that the plot never once got confusing. Even though it was unoriginal, it never got off target and it even sometimes kept you on the edge of your seat.
196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT BUY & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
We purchased StarCraft with our own funds.
When i bought my playstation i had now clue of any twisted metal games until I played this one. I never was able to get my hands on the first one but this one is amazing.
This game actually introduce me to the world of JRPG, which I had never played before. I say anyone wanting some easy introduction to the JRPG genre, will love this thing. From then on I would go on to more harder and more complex JRPG but I still remember my Super Mario RPG days. Wow, awesome game! They don't make them like this game more, but I wish they did.
Overall: 8/10 - Nothing too memorable, but it's delightfully entertaining to play when you are actually using the controls. Mario Kart 64 gives you things to do and stuff to work out. It's the first game I played on Nintendo 64 and as far as I'm concerned, it's well worth the time.
797 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Beautiful game
Throughout the game, you'll eventually discover why the town keeps being invaded by the otherworld, who is holding Cheryl captive and why, who the mysterious teenage girl in the road was and why she keeps appearing, and you'll meet a few interesting characters including the eccentric, creepy old woman Dahlia Gillespie, a girl named Alessa who's past is truly horrific, a female police officer named Cybil, a gruff hospital worker named Michael Kauffman, and the sweet, frightened nurse Lisa Garland.
7409 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I personally didn't buy this game for a unique amazing video game experience, i bought it for the comedy value. It's just one of those things that's so bad it's good.
If the intro made you mad then I'm sure that the rest of the review will make you happy. Starting out as a former member of "Soldier" you take the main role of Cloud. You start out with a rebellion group by the name of AVALANCHE and don't forget it. Your inaugural mission is to blow up the reactor to get the attention of "Shinra Inc." to let them know they are ruining the planet by having these mako reactors. So make your point, grab your huge sword and let the adventure begin.

9205 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Pac-Man is a really awesome arcade game. It's so addicting! You just eat dots while roaming around in a maze while avoiding ghosts. And then you could use a special dot in which the ghosts become edible. This, my friends, was timeless action the Namco loves going back to over and over again. Not in 1994, though, in which they release Pac-Man 2. Look at that cover art...I don't think this is maze game. I have a theory as to why this "interactive cartoon" has the Pac-Man 2 name. There was a Pac-Man cartoon show in the 80s. I can only assume this is a sequel to that. Since a new Pac-Man show is being made and set for next year, why not review Namco's attempt at doing something like that in a video game?
Granted the initial release had many, many bugs. But with several patches most bugs have been worked out. Be sure and get the v1.3 patch which has seemed to fix some problems that v1.2 created. i.e. The M41 Rifle now fires again, but with a 5-round clip which is historically accurate anyway. In v1.2 it wanted to reload without ever shooting. Soldier AI has been greatly improved on both sides as well. However, the dead bodies still just hang in mid-air if shot on slanted terrain. Mouse sensitivity has been improved also.
I originally said Metal Gear Solid was one of those games I respect more than I enjoy. I said this because so much thought and energy went into the storyline and voice acting, that I felt the game deserved to be respected, and Konami deserved credit for making it.
Graphics- 7/10
(1) You need a lot of time to play this game; like 50 hrs I would say or more;
The first thing most people would notice is how different this is from traditional Mario games. There are only 1-Up mushrooms, and the only pipe that appears is in the very beginning. However, Super Mario 64 is 3D, and most of those elements just wouldn't work in a 3D game.
4943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this game for my kids 5&6 yr old they love it ,its easy and fun to keep them busy I used to play this game as a kid . and still love it lol . the game came early and it was great condition and plays good on our ps1!
Despite what I said earlier.. I thought that Nemesis was a great addition to the game. He definitely adds to the suspense and you never know when or where he's going to pop up and surprise you. However, it doesn't take long to get tired and frustrated with him. Mainly because there were a lot of areas in the city that I wanted to explore but couldn't because I was being pursued by Nemesis!!! And he shows up like 15 minutes apart from each appearance. So, exploring or not he'll always turn up sooner or later. And yes you can fend him off. But there's really no point since he's nearly impossible to kill, and your only wasting precious ammo and health trying to fight him. By the way, some of you may remember Mr. X from RE2... well there's a big similarity between the two. Their both huge mutant zombies that stalk you throughout the game. So its quite obvious that Nemesis was a variation of Mr. X.
3. You'll wish you never had this game.
8509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I was a kid I would play this game non-stop. It seriously brings back memories. It might not be the best of the Street Fighter II console ports but its still my favorite.
Now, what happens in the game: you begin out as a Mecc, a tecnologic warrior that has to help out some strange alien little wierdos called smarties in their combat for existence against the evil sea reaper race.
8007 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While the graphics are beautiful and some of the gameplay new, there isn't much here that you haven't already seen. Some of the levels were quite innovative and fun, yet others were just more of what was in the second game in the series. While this game is great, the second is vastly superior in quality and originality, and I would recomend you play that first.
VII - the 2nd best game in the series, behind U6. The world is huge and detailed, and the plot is wonderful. Even the graphics are pretty good, and the game uses a mouse-interface - always a plus.
1766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 loved it
Yes, it's insanely popular, but give the game its due. It's worthy of the qualities that have made it the best-selling Final Fantasy, and while it may not be my personal favorite, it kicks major amounts of awesome nonetheless.
I can't speak for you but I much prefer to be in chases or duels, in close contact with the enemy as soon and for as long as possible so that tactical driving skill is paramount.
Bosses WAY too easy. Ultemecia was supposed to "Wow" me with her amazing power. The battle just dragged on. Woohoo. Ultimate Weapon? Give me a break. I like how they give optional side quests like that for bosses, but Bahamut and Ultimate Weapon were pathetic. I was about level 40 going into both battles and wiped the floor clean in under 10 minutes in both. C'mon Square Enix, make them Omega Weapon tough!
9200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works good
3278 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This didn't have the best plot as the other res do, but was a hell of alot challanging. Your Claire Redfield looking for your brother Chris Redfield. You meet Steve Burnquist who eventually dies im sorry to say. I don't wanna spoil any more but anyway, Your main goal is to survive on the umbrella base owned by Miss Veronica. She is the master of all the ashfords which are a family of very wealthy people. Youll meet Alexia and Alfred. They are deadly so becareful. The graphics are the best part. Youll see a world of reality when you first see the first fmv. The Plot is good but not the best. And the handgun you get as your first weapon, lol sux. But you will not be dissapointed when you first turn the game on. You also will play as Chris Later in the game so have fun while the game lasts.
I really don't have to talk about the plot for this game because who hasn't seen Aladdin? A down on his luck beggar goes up against a vicious man bent on total domination and ends up winning the heart of a beautiful girl in the process. It's your classic bedtime fairy tale but Aladdin was awesome at bringing it to a visual conception. The game follows suit with the movie, with you playing as Aladdin and going though levels that represent places in the movie. You can play though the streets of Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders, Agrabah Palace, and Genie's World (this one really wasn't in the movie but it's fun to play though).
A lot can change with a human being in 10 years. We grow older, we decide we want to learn about life and wonder where we came from, and we develop an apprecation for the things we have and the people who are in our lives. To put it simply, we're thankful to be alive and feel good. But in some situations, things can remain EXACTLY the same. All those extreme feelings of hatred returned to me immediately after only 5 minutes with Tekken 3. It was the exact same feeling of hopelessness I encountered with the Mortal Kombat series.
6250 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why does this game still end up getting reviews years later? Why is it considered a must play, and retains that status years later? Because this game is an all time classic, an amazing experience that has yet to be matched.
It works perfect.
522 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Theses are real video games, the ones you work on for weeks before you finally reach that last awesome cutscene concluding the game. You'll never feel such joy until you play this.
Thanks for reading.
Aladdin follows the story and events in the movie exactly and focuses on Aladdin's agile ability to jump off poles, ledges and enemies to reach platforms to other areas before continuing on. He can use apples to stun his enemies while collecting food for health, diamonds for points and golden scarabs which trigger a mini game at the end of the stage where he finds one. The game has 6 stages in total, including bonus stages where you can earn more points.
8219 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Clock Tower is an interesting horror strategy game that requires you to complete many tasks in order to figure out the bad guy who is after you. It's a really good game because you have to really use your head to avoid being caught. While the graphics and music aren't anything incredibly memorable, the gameplay makes up for it. I wouldn't say it's anywhere as good as the Resident Evil series, but what you have here is an above average game that you will be coming back to for sure.
and that FMV scene is the first and so far the only video game to ever force me to shed a tear. i remember i was 9 when i got the game, and after reaching that part i cried, saved, shut it off, then went to hug my mother:)
Despite it's childish looks, Rayman has something to offer to any age and "breed" of gamer, and should belong on every Playstation owner's shelf.
Not to good to play under bad lighting
Cons:
considering how easy it is to buy old games, this is a must buy!
Looking at the (many) BG sites, it seems this game has obsessed people to the point where they have played it over and over with characters of different races, classes, alignments, etc. I will be glad when I get to the end, and even though I love it, I can't imagine why I'd want to play it again - after all, when you know how it ends, why bother. And there are so many other games to play. Already can't wait for BG2.
2) The sound, especially the voice acting is AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
2752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game was perfect, and it was a childhood memory of mine, for years i tried to remember the name of the game and once i finally found out i just had to set out to get it.
951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My game came in fantastic condition, I love playing it with my sis, but she just went off to college...
The story will keep you going, and you get stronger through killing all the enemies in a room. Your strength, defense, or life will increase. The main character, Will, can also transform into two other characters, Freedan and Shadow, when needed. As you go along in IoG, you will learn new skills (such as Will's slide technique used for sliding under low places). If you liked the Zelda games, I suggest checking out this game.
4959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a shame THQ didn't allow AKI to develop there games for the PS2 as well; the ridiculous system Yukes developed for "Smackdown!" makes me feel like I'm playing Mortal Kombat instead of wrestling. The AKI system provides the best wrestling simulation of all games. The movement is accurate and believable, and the reaction the characters have after hurting a particular body part makes for a good wrestling experience. I also particularly like the fact that there is no "health bar" on the AKI games. This gives the game more of a "give and take" feel.
Obviously the graphics are much worse, but I find the gameplay to be just as fun.
1833 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Alright, so I just used naughty for the play on the company name, but it got your attention, aparently, so...
ENJOY
8683 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love F ZERO.
6986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love the game!!!
2509 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although the Game Boy Advance is on the way, the original Game Boy (here in 'Colour' form) is still going strong, and is still the only mainstream hand-held console.
1417 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game MANY years ago for the N64, and I just loved it! The game presented a large challenge, while at the same time made it very fun! The music is the best heard in a game, the graphics are superb for an N64 title, and this Mario game is a blast! I guess the most noticeable feature are the environments that the game provides. Every environment that Mario enters is just awesome! I especially love the Rainbow level and the Snow level where all of the penguins are. The best feature is the fact that every age group can enjoy the hours of entertainment from the game and they can all enjoy collecting stars from each stage to save Peach and defeat Bowser. Oh, by the way, the Bowser levels are AWESOME! Fighting Bowser himself is very fun as well! The game is also good in the fact that it provides unsatirical yet not stupid humor as well. This is great for younger gamers. I guess the worst part of Super Mario 64 is the lack of replayability. It's like Vice City where it will take months to play and finish the game, but once it's done, you won't want to play it again without getting bored. Once the ride's over, you'll feel like you can't go play it each day, and the game is kind of wasted in that aspect. Overall, if you are a fan of Mario or Nintendo, then this game may just be suited for your needs! My rating-9.2!
At the beginning of each stage you get a briefing from the satellite and Tiny Tank desceneds from the sky on a little rocket platform. The game is a little bit like Mega Man, the weapons of the enemies can be claimed after defeating them, you gain power ups and can customise your weapons by alocating more or less energy to them, you can spawn little mini tanks that'll follow you around and gather power ups. You can take weapons from the bosses as well. The first Boss is a giant robot with a cowboy hat which can be claimed after defeating him. Which you will keep until you die. During Missions there's a talk radio call in show lead by the super computer villain and other machines and call in talking about your progress through the game...much like what happens in the GTA series with the radio news updates.
P.S.
designed!
I wish someone would come out with an updated version for the Wii or later,
9280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has to be the best action game I have ever played, maybe even the best game I have ever played, and I play a lot of games! I love this game and I play it all the time. It is so cool! It has the best graphics around (If you have a good enough system to run it), lots of weapons, great gameplay, a great involving story and the coolest feature ever, Bullet-Time. There are also tons of game mods that are already out too. This game is worth every penny, if your an action game fan, you can't go wrong with Max Payne!
8811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good.
Tife-hey she has a killer body, not much personality but hey sex sells right?. Yuffie-what was here purpose again?. -aeris-hey someone with potential, too bad she died before we could start to care. cait sith- although i shouldn't have to explain why this character is lame, ill do it anyways....hes a cat, that rides on a stuffed animal robot....pause for laughter....a CAT that rides on a robotic stuffed animal!!!!!! then there is Vincent: basically there for five minutes of an already convoluted story line that is other than that piece of the story he is in is an intirely optional character, and can be put in the OF NO REAL IMPORTANCE folder. oh and i almost forgot Cid: yup his character was so awesome that i almost for got to mention him. and then finaly Red 13. another character that had potential, but when your surrounded by a bunch of numbskulls, in a convoluted story line, you stop caring about one character that has potential.
You can even create your own character and build that character to be the best as you take on the entire NBA in 2 on 2 mayhem. You also get to answer NBA trivia (just like on TV during games). Pretty cool.
9787 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great game
292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hello, i must say this card does just what it says, it holds all of my PS2 game saves, i have always wanted to use one "Memory Card" for all saves. The card holds 128MB and after saving all my saves i have 110MB left and i have well over 60 Playstation 2 games, it`s like having a "PC Hard Drive" in the PS2 and now that i know the card really do work, i will be ordering quite a few more before they are no longer in stock. It does not take much to make me happy and this makes me very happy, now i must get more PS2 games, i have 2 PS2, 2 PS3, 1 PSP, 1 Tablet, 2 Laptops and 2 Desktops all for gaming, i love gaming and proud to say i am a 56 year old gamer, started in 1992, love it.
3. The environments are great, i love this freaking game!!!!
Unique, original, practically a breath of fresh air and always a blast to play as far as I can remember. I actually lost my copy some time ago and I wholly regret having done that... I might just have to repurchase this game again because next to the original Guilty Gear game on PSX, Evil Zone comes a dead serious second in fighting games on the PSX and is a golden classic, a cult classic, but still a classic!
I love this game, it is definitely a classic, arguably the best in the trio for the SNES.
PS. play (The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past) that's a good one too.
Anyway, BUY THIS GAME!!! You'll be glad you did.
The ability to review story scenes and look up public information about the characters adds to the immersive element of the game, and the player's ability to appreciate the plot. This game is superb because its many innovations are effectively implemented, its visual design effectively portrays compelling, medieval-style fantasy, some characters are incredibly well-developed, and even the lesser characters are given enough development to fully serve their role within the incredibly literary plot.
Maybe its the fact that the graphics are slopped together to the point where you kinda think they're kidding around. The people off the city are all freaks, and you and they make all sorts of real noises. The noises the pilot makes when you walk towards water or near the edge of a buidling are hilarious.
GET THIS GAME...ull love it...if u like rpgs ull love this game and follow it like a religion
Characters: Sonic adventure is where we play as any of the characters starting with Sonic then Tails and Knuckles with better abilities for example Knuckles can dig under ground. Amy Rose returns from her Sonic Cd debut with abilities that require her hammer. Big the cat has nothing interesting except for fishing. Then there's Gamma Dr Robotniks newest robot with abilities. When u beat all the character stories unlock the Super Sonic story.
GameShark as being in "Good" condition from a private collection, it looked like it had been left outside on the
Twisted Metal 2: great
This game is pretty lengthly, gives you a choice of things to say in response to questions and is overall fun, especially since you get to play the entire movie. I recommend this game to die hard fans, but like I said, don't be surprised if for some reason you don't like it. Some do, some don't. Simple as that
9255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This western RPG uses pretty much the same action-RPG mechanics as Secret of Mana, except for replacing the traditional MP-fueled magic system with an alchemy system that runs off of ingredients. You control a boy and his dog who must travel through a world split into distinct regions: A prehistoric region, an Egypt-like area, and a medieval setting. Eventually you must travel to a futuristic environment for the final confrontations. The AI pathing and behavior works much better than in Secret of Mana.
3145 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is possibly the best game i have ever played, besides the upcoming MGS2, if you are a gamefan and don't haveb this game you outa be ishamed of your self. go buy it lowly maggot!
Apart from that? Well, the score reflects it. It's expansive, has goofy characters with funny moves, and apart from some points early on which will be unclear to the Nintendo novice, there's always plenty to do. (One surprising bit is a buxom character named "Candy" whose dialogue is all sexual innuendo. It didn't offend me and my son didn't even notice but I can't see an American designer putting something like that in a kids game.)
The weaponry is realistic and I have to say that even the subway graphics and the look of the NYC storefronts is totally authentic. (I thought I was back in Flushing, Queens!)
But yeah, the animations are really wonderful. The enemies themselves breathe amazing life into the game due to their movements. Everything about this game looks way ahead of its time. It's comparable to the Genesis version of Aladdin in that the graphics and animations are top-notch and just gorgeous. Whereas Genesis gets the better version of Aladdin, the Super NES gets the better version of the Lion King. Highly recommended platforming fun.
My only problem involved the difficulty of some of the puzzles. It's not that they were too hard, but that they seemed a little ridiculous. Some seemed to beg for the purchase of a walkthrough, and I admit I did some "walkthrough" searches on the net, but it was worth it to see the ending.
I highly recommend this if you want a good game. In fact, they don't get much better.
This game is like Mister Mosquito for the Playstation 2. True, the game has its faults, but the funny and excellent gameplay outweighs its minor faults.
3733 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a must own for Dreamcast owners and Sonic fans. There are six major campaigns, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big the Cat, and Gamma. Each have their own style of gameplay and each campaign adds to the story. When you beat al six campaigns, a seventh and final campaign allows you to play as Super Sonic to conclude the story.
Engines on. Throttles up. Let's roll. Release brakes, adjust trim, take off speed, we're up. 'Navigator set course for Initial Point.' Weather outside is cloudy, It's expected to clear up over the target. Coastline coming up now, 'Where is that down there? - the Elbe river? Good job navigator, we're right on schedule'
5 stars!
The single player mode is too much fun. But, the 99% of the credit goes to the multi game mode.
5027 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Harry Mason and his seven year old daughter Cheryl are on their way to the lakeside resort known as Silent Hill for a peaceful getaway when a mysterious teenage girl appears in the headlights. Harry swerves to avoid her and ends up crashing through a fence into Silent Hill. When he regains consciousness, he finds Cheryl is missing. The town seems to be completely abandoned, save for a few abominations scurrying about, covered in a thick blanket of fog, and it's snowing-in July. He spots Cheryl up ahead through the fog and calls out to her but she runs away from him. She escapes and he is now stranded in the town and is left to search for his missing daughter in a town that is periodically taken over by the otherworld, AKA hell.
9198 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Okay, the game isn't horribly bad. It ran fine on my computer. No problems with instal or starting or anything like that. Default controls are weird but changeable. My major drawback to this game was what was the point? The graphic novel would have been interesteting if it was something you get at the comic shop. I feel cheated by lack of movies. The novel could have been made into movies and lasted a little longer. It was short. The weapons were cool but the bullet-time, should just have stayed in the Matrix. The graphics were great but for a first-person shooter the game was not all that good. When its in the [price] bin, get it. But other than that save your money.
I played levels 1 through 10, and then had to stop just before the end of the game because I was nauseated and had an eyestrain headache. I am not exaggerating.
at 19 bux, go grab a classic
Once you get into a game this immersive, you forget about the technical details that may no longer be as cutting-edge as they once were. Just turn off the lights, plug in your headphones (or surround-sound if you have it), and try to stay alive. If you happen to forget that it's just a game, this one can really scare you. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
8371 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I was unimpressed with this game. The races are too similar to each other. The ships within each race do not differ much except in size. Mouse control is painfully sluggish. Space is two-dimensional - ...Resource collection is uncreative. Several ship classes are missing, such as the Intrepids. Only 8 ships can be selected at a time. Whether I played the Borg or the Federation, I got the feeling that I was just building the same things with different graphics in a [copy] of Starcraft.
6849 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is more of a kiddy game because of its graphics from Sega. I played it so much that my eyes get dizzy following Sonic throughout the scene. Although, I think everyone should take dizzy pills because of how fast he is running. I know if you look down at his shoes, you will get dizzy.
However, overall, you'll get a huge kick out of this game, especially when it comes to playing multiplayer. 4 players duking it out...what more can you ask for? Well, besides Brawl and Melee.
Hand to hand - They kept it simple. between space bar, "Q, W or E" were your controls to hit when it told you to hit that key. It wasn't hard to do hand to hand. It wasn't 100% awesome like Batman but it was pretty good.
As a young baby boy, your mother was killed by an evil person. Now you have no home and have to move to a place called the Kokiri Forest. This is a place where people never grow up and aren't allowed to leave the forest. They're called the Kokiri. But you're different. You really don't belong in this forest, instead you belong out in a world called Hyrule. You're a Hylian (normal people who actually grow up). You're out there to defeat Ganondorf. Ganondorf, most likely the person who killed your mother, is a strong and evil person who wants to take over Hyrule and become the King. The only person that can stop him is you (Link). Now the question is, will you be able to defeat the mean and evil Ganondorf and save the world of Hyrule?
I was not disappointed.

Finally, I am sad that some of the bonus content that came with the guides when they were originally released weren't included. I will be honest, I don't know which guides came with what, but I have seen others complain about this, stating that Twilight Princess in particular came with a few goodies.
Let's face it. This is a game you can come back to again and again and enjoy it every time. There are very few games that can make the same claim.
And one thing to note if you've haven't played a Final Fantasy before, yes it is Part VII but it's not like a saga where each part is a continuation of the story. It's all new story, characters, villains, worlds etc.
Kart racing is not even my favorite genre of game, but I really believe this is the finest title the N64 has to offer. It's even better than Goldeneye or Ocarina of Time. So, DKR is far more than a Mario Kart 64 clone. Mario Kart 64 wishes it had even half the depth and quality of this game.
5308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an excellent sequel to the first Broken Sword (aka Circle of Blood). The 2D graphics are the same, which is great. If you can find this game for the PC, then grab it!
The graphics are cartoonish - but it fits! Whenever you land on a spot, there is a short little clip showing what happened to you - these are pretty funny! Overall, it's a cute game. It would be perfectly acceptable for kids too - there is nothing bad in the game at all! Since its so cheap, I definitely recommend getting it and playing around, especially if you're a fan of the board game!
And you must please the gods.. They can be demanding and vengeful or friendly and beneficent depending on how you manage their attitudes.
6815 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic 2 has some of the best levels, bosses, and soundtracks I've ever played.
5639 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 but still one of the best! tho i wouldnt bother buying this now, mainly bekause quake 4 is gonna kome out sooner or later (and it looks awesome). i still play this game! konsidering how old this game is, u gotta give it some kredit. the graphiks tho now beat by doom3 and halo2, etc. are really not bad. the game maintains the klassik evil statanik kastle type maps, which in my opinion, bring out the fear and the "kill or be killed" type atmosphere. and the bots! this may be bekause of the way the maps are very konfined, but i find the bots in this game much harder to beat kompared to the bots in the ut series. and wahts more u kan sometimes seem to grasp what even sounds like a konversation with some of the bots like "Crash". this is very unlike singleplayer ut, where u never touch the chat button. try it out it kan be funny, tho it usually doesnt work. The weapons are simple and easy to use, some sekondary fire would be interesting tho. a few weapons needed in my opinion are mines (maybe molotov kocktails), flamethrowers, and the ol nailgun. i kant komment on multiplayer, it doesnt seem to work on my komputer but neway i kno that ut has the best online gaming (unless kounterstrike is better, ive never tried that one). if u don't have this game now, i suggest u download the demo, its basikally all u need. it has the only map i play singleplayer "Q3DM17" i think... however. another good thing about this game is the fakt that there are so many mods! "modifikations" tho now i would suggest people to buy ut2004, (it has the best mods) quake III has kountless downloadable skins, maps, etc, etc, etc. this game is a klassik.

844 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My mom and family enjoys this so much
More emphasis was placed on "dial a combos" instead of the juggling in MK II.
It does get boring quickly if you're not a fan of the game to begin with...but even if you're NOT a fan of the game it's at least a 3* game worth a play if you have a dreamcast in your posesssion....alot more fun with the gun..more challenging with the controller but all in all as i said near perfect emulation of the arcade original
Modem: 56Kbps (US/JP NTSC), 33.3Kbps (PAL)
The gameplay is a little tough to get used to - afterall, you've never played Zelda in 3D before - so you actually have to consider things sneaking up behind you, and flying overhead! But once you get used to the controls and learn to use the "Z-Targeting" feature (using the trigger button will solve just about any control problem you may encounter), the gameplay gets easier.
1834 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game was just as I remembered it and came in, more or less, perfect condition, although I didn't realize that they changed some of the dialogue of characters from the original version to the greatest hits and I honestly couldn't begin to imagine why.
After a long 5 year wait, the Nintendo designers released a sequel to the NES Metroid and put in on Game Boy. I still remember the commercial that came out back then.
I remember playing this game again, again, and again to finish- it's really tough, you will have to put lot of time into it.

Another interesting factor is that you can set a salary for yourself and you can use the money you've saved to send the emperor gifts in an attempt to increase your favor rating. Not only this, you can also set the tax percentage according to your own will, set a salary for the employed lot according to your wishes etc. But at the same time keep in mind that too high a tax rate and too low a salary are going to affect the growing population of the city. Attention given to such minute details of city management is what holds the interest of the player and makes the game play loads of fun.

4404 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft is a true Blizzard game. From a company known to produce an excellent product, they didn't let the consumer down despite delaying the product repeatedly.
3523 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Back in 1996, Capcom introduced both Japanese and Americans gamers a brand-new world of videogaming. Despite the rather awkward name of "Resident Evil", which is just plain out laughable, the title has become a household name. This movie-like, horror series can be written down as a new genre of gaming, horror. Yeah, very few games caused gamers to devastatingly sob (Aeries' funeral in Final Fantasy VII), some games built mystery or suspense (Gray Fox's desperate attack and impressive dialogue in Metal Gear Solid), but Resident Evil led the player to leap in fright or frantically jitter. Capcom inserted blood-thirsty zombies as the adversary, and the player's fear as the biggest opposition. In a sense, it is a movie. Useless to say, Resident Evil was among the titanic series that landed on the Sony PlayStation. The original game presented an amazing surface. However it suffered from terrible voice acting and a somewhat dull story. Capcom extremely went hard at work for their sequel. Powerful hype erupted when Resident Evil 2 was announced. Anxious gamers couldn't wait to get their grubby paws on a copy. Resident Evil 2 altered the gaming industry. Other home console companies decided to cash in while the genre was sizzling hot. Konami cashed in with Silent Hill. Survival/Adventure games went mainstream. After RE2 respectfully lived, a third installment was introduced, this time hype was scarce. It came out too quickly and sources claimed the interface was going to be identical as the other two. Fearing the worst, the third installment seemed to be a horrible move for Capcom. And is. From the experience of the two Resident Evil games, the player may expect the "scare moments." While playing on a big screen t.v., with surround sound, the volume almost reverberating the room, and a sudden pack of grunting zombies crashing out a window, I felt no fear. Amateurs to the Resident Evil series may have a chill ride their spine, but original fans will expect each scare attempt. Though few changes have been added, RE3 fails to take a leap over the original Resident Evil 2. In other words just imagine playing Resident Evil 2 but with more rooms and more puzzle solving. RE2 is the strongest and most remembered in the series. When catching a glimpse of RE3, excitement was absent. RE3 seems it brought the entire series in shame. The story must take a new direction! Like taking a role of an umbrella agent, or the T-Virus spreading somewhere else than Racoon City. Nemesis, a ferocious, mean, bazooka- equipped devil who hunts the player, proves to be a pathetic antagonist and challenge. The minigames granted after beating the game bring little life at the game's abrupt end. The slogan, "if the Suspense doesn't kill you, then something else will," lives truly in the second game.
7730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's the Legend of Zelda on SNES. This game is so dope you don't even need to know the damn tagline! We're taking about the same amount of fun you had on your NES with your lil gold cartridge except with better graphics, better sound, and most importantly, a bigger world and better gameplay! What else could be better? Good question - the answer is NOTHING.

5480 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having played and thoroughly enjoyed Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, i remember running off after work to pick this up the day it hit store shelves.
* Levels don't get harder quickly
The gameplay, much like the story, is simply amazing! As you progress through the game, you will find new Accesories (items such as rings, ear rings, ribbons, etc.), Armor, and Weapons. Depending on each items power, your overall strength for attacks, defense against attacks, magic effectiveness, and magic defense will increase; however, the true depth comes in the junction system. Each item you equip to yourself will give you junction blocks. These blocks are used to equip magic that you buy or find along your journey. Magic comes in many forms:Some increase stats, some heal, some are attacks, some are devastating monsters (called 'Summons') that unleash devastating attacks on all enemies, and some help you attain more items (such as the ability to 'Steal'). Junctioning magic can also lower stats, bringing more strategy into the game. Junction too much magic, and your character's overall hp (or 'health points', which decrease with each hit) will be minimized in the next battle. Junction to little, and your character will be to weak to inflict any useful damage on the enemy.

1080 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was actually thinking about this game a few months ago and it was killing me that I couldn't remember the name. This game was a ton of fun though I'm sure if I played it now I would laugh at how dated it is. If you have a way to play this I recommend it. I blew a lot of hours on this game and would gladly pick it up again if they made it available for download on the PS3.
3966 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Your gary or james or both and you are off to kill Goldman the one responsible for the 1998 curian case or House of the Dead 1. You will face an endless number of zombies and kill several bosses. Your goal is to stop goldman from destroying all of mankind with his secret weapon which is the final boss of the game. The game is fun for a while but eventually gets very boring. You can play arcade mode or play original. The game bases all on the arcade. You can do training mode which has several shooting events you can do until you get 5 stars on them. All different things are in this game and what ive explained is not all of it.
The characters are very good. They are pretty artistic. A couple basic looking ones, but overall, they have my pick as some of the better ones in an RPG, ever. The character development is not too bad, either. It's not the best, but you should soon care for each character atleast a little. Especially the main ones like Alex, and Luna.
9 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 4 Stars because they like it and play it often enough so don't feel like money is wasted. I got them one each so they can multiplay with each other.
Um...well, this game is pretty easy and you don't really need a strategy guidebook for this one. I think the only reason why it's so damn fun is because on every track and race, you can race it differently. You can try new tricks or even attempt to create your own shortcut-if you are that good!
5891 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the most fun and addictive game I have played in ages. But first, the bad...
---All the legal crap died off on this game years ago. It is actually available for free and fully patched to work on new computers.

2185 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Electronic Arts was one of a small group of third party developers that supported the N64 with a decent amount of games. One of them, Beetle Adventure Racing, was exclusive to the system and proved to be one of the best racing games to grace the Nintendo 64. Released in 1999, it was an arcade racer with the physics seen in serious racers but poked fun at itself all throughout the game.
great sound and voice acting
Even though the game has dated graphics, it still stands the test of time as a true classic and a great investment to anyone willing to play this.
KEEP MOVING!!!!
Fortunitly, to counter the threat of attack helicopters and flame-thrower equipped janitors, you have an enormous arsenal of military grade weapons at your disposal. No longer satisfied with gas grenades and puny tranquilizer pistols (from the original Jurassic park game on the Sega genesis), Grant has an arsenal of death dealing weaponry, ranging from shotguns to machine guns, to rockets and death dealing grenades. All of these get the job done, but the greatest satisfaction comes from using the greatest weapon in the history of video games: The electric gun (or as I call it, the zappy gun). This amazingly fun weapon doesn't just kill bad guys, it disintigrates them! Simply fire the gun, watch the bolt of electricity go out, and when it hits the janitor, he'll go "Ogh!", briefly turn into a skeleton, and vanish into thin air. It sounds brutal, but it's absoloutly hilarious to watch! (and let's face it, disintigrating an incredibly annoying enemey is tremendously satisfying!). As an added bonus, it also does the disentigration effect on dinosaurs as well!
WWF War Zone also started the popular "create a wrestler" mode. But it doesn't matter because, as I mention above, wrestling games for 10 years have had that option. It's an option that has lost its charm because of overkill, and it's time game companies got rid of it, or did something to drastically change it. It was a fun and interesting idea at first but now, 10 years later, I don't want to have it in a wrestling game ever again.
4687 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I unearthed this gem among my collection of old games after a recent move, and I promply popped it in to play out of nostalgia after experiencing a string of disappointing RPG's on the PC. 2 Weeks later I emerged to write the review this wonderful game deserves.
So why not 5 stars? It hurts me to not give it 5 stars but I have to be honest, the games kinda easy, sure it's super long, but back in the day of the old castlevania games, they were just so challenging in terms of obstacles and amount of enemies. But with this game, with all the save spots, free extra health and lack of extremely hard obstacles it's kinda hard to die. Although, if it had been that hard then I probably wouldnt be playing it over and over again. Let's say 4.5 stars.
Turok Rage Wars
Sound- You'll Be humming those tunes till you die
Its ok at first, but it gets boring too fast.
The CONS: of two issues that do hamper the overall gaming experience. First, this game is tough. The other racers will put up a fight and since you can use weapons to blast them or help yourself, so can the other racers. It's a different experience whenever you switch your type of ride so keep that in mind and because of it, you have to memorize the stages well to get an advantage. The tough difficulty this game brings may turn off some gamers. Also, this game requires a huge amount of backtracking which brings about a feeling of severe repetition. In order to get all the balloons, you must beat each stage 3 times and beat each boss of each area two times. Yes, you read that correct. The first time around, you must place first in each race. The second time around, you have to collect 8 silver coins scattered throughout each stage AND place first. The third time around, you must race through each stage back to back in a grand prix style and place first for the gold trophy. Since the computer racers were tough to begin with, expect to race the same stages over and over and over.
That pretty much covers up the characters. As for everything else, the level design is magnificent and lovingly crafted. Plus, the graphics are awesome for the time, and the soundtrack rocks!
Max Payne, the New York police detective, has had a bad time of it recently, and it's time for payback. Three years ago, junkies high on a mysterious new narcotic called Valkyr slaughtered his wife and child. The tragedy drives him on a prolonged path of vengeance. It turns him from a detective looking for easy work to a deep undercover vice cop infiltrating the Mob to a hardened vigilante. Max Payne is a film-noir-inspired game about revenge that is unflinching in every way possible. It's dark and moody, extremely twisted, and turns PC action gaming on its ear by featuring state-of-the-art graphics, audio, and cinematic action.
3) Puzzles. This is not a sword hacking game, though there is enough to satisfy the first person shooters. There are many very simple puzzles, and many frustratingly hard puzzles, but none so hard that you rip out the cartridge and throw it against the wall. And if you ever get stumped, there are plenty of side quests and mini games to help you upgrade your equipment or simply vent. The game takes time to figure out, even if that means just getting your bearings in a huge maze, but there is a simple satisfaction to moving on, especially when you restart and pass effortlessly through the dungeons you've already decrypted straight to the boss. If you liked Myst, you will love this game.
742 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game.
660 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had problems with it at first - crashing but then i installed the patch that i downloaded and it worked great. The game did remind me a lot of the Monkey Island series. Although monkey Island i'd say had the best music. Grim had ok music. Game was funny and at the end i wanted more- i finished it too fast (i shouldn't have used those cheats). Really recommended, I wish there was a part II.
Graphics in the game with aid of a decent graphics card (Voodoo 4 PCI in my case) made this game really enjoyable. I first played this with a 4mb Graphics card which was really slow but my enthusiasm for the game was so great, I set all the graphical details to it's bear minimum for it to operate at a good frame rate...but now I enjoy it even more. Ships are rendered brilliantly as are all the little features in the galaxy maps. Strange space anomaly's and particals which float in space can be to your advantage or disadvantage...this game has it all.
great replay value, great character development, super-addictive gameplay.
For any military lover, this game is and will always be a fun game
I just wish someone would continue the series in the same format with maybe 3-D graphics but the same game play and all the rest. I give a hats off to the Might & Magic Tribute people who are doing it on their own, since no company seems interested in doing it.

6026 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is actually a very good expansion for Half-Life. usually expansions stink, but this one is quite acceptable. Opposing Force takes you back to Black Mesa a one of the US Marines trying to capture Gordon Freeman (play the first half life before purchasing this). There is an extroidanary arsenal of weapons in Opp. Force and challenging new aliens that do more damage. If you liked half-life, then buy this expansion pack cause its really good. I do have one complaint: I cannot play this sucker online! i have a 500mhz Pentium 2 (its old, but still reads the data) and i have cable modem/high speed connection and it says some file differs from a server file! oh well, you can play single player over and over because its so fun and addicting. have fun playing!
9962 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I used to love this game before he was caught brown handed in the 4 year old chocolate cookie jar. Typical of Michael to make sure he has a fun game for little boys! Looking at this game now it's so dirty. You have to run around saving little boys oh yeah girls to. Hmm. Michael didn't like girls but i bet he just didn't wanna look suspicious! Good by and good riddance!
First let me mention that, despite what people might say, you CAN in fact use a regular old Playstation controller for this game. That's what I'm using right now, in fact. I don't care about all these Dual Shock and Analog controllers that are supposed to make the gaming experience superior because the reality is that a regular controller works just fine. Sorry, but using a directional pad to play first-person shooters is MUCH easier for me. I need to hit the "Up" button to walk, and the X button to shoot. That's exactly what Quake II allows me to do.
5532 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I thought the game was dull. It wasn't even scary! The storyline was weak and really didn't have a point to it. The playing screen was also small but the graphics were good. It needs more excitement and adventure. Overall, I was disapointed.
4906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Been using it for for over half a year works great no problems no tears in the cord, like the game cube one i order from someone else.
Familiar characters and gameplay welcome the player without much of a learning curve, but there are some distinct differences. While the NES counterpart had castles as their main theme, Mario this time around travels to Egypt, China, and even another planet. Goombas and Piranha Plants make a comeback along with the upgraded Koopa Troopas, who now explode upon getting stepped on. Other enemies include aliens, sphinxes, and Chinese ghosts. There are also a couple side-scrolling shooter type levels that keep the game interesting.
2862 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite Duke Nukem game. It's got a ton of levels to explore and the variety in the levels keeps things interesting. I played it when it first came out for the N64 and after beating it traded it. I got nostalgic for it so bought it again last year to play. What a great trip down memory lane. I was taken back to the first time I played it and it was just as fun. The graphics look even better on my 46" lcd than they ever did on my old tube tv. A great game for those who like older shooters with some humor.
Value = 8/10
3401 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had a Dreamcast many years ago when it launched. Though the console is overall considered a commercial failure, I loved Dreamcast, and was delighted to get ahold of a gently used one again.
One must keep his eyes on all sectors of the map at all times, lest he allow anything to remain idle, or the let the enemy slip in behind his lines. With such intense action required, this game is easy to learn yet nigh impossible to master.
2438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game arrived on time and without any scratches. I haven't noticed any defects on the products and the gem plays like new. I'm lucky to have found a great quality version and will continue to buy from this user.
5088 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will just be brief. My system specs area 300mhz pent2, 160 megs ram, Voodoo3 3000, 40kbs internet connection. The game has excellent graphics and gameplay. The diffrent types of games are a refreshing change to the usual capture the flag and deathmatch. I think you will find the "assault" game great. My average ping times are around 250, so they got the code right this time. If you are a fps fan and like games like "Tribes" where team play is important, you will like this one. Can't compare it to "Quake", because I have never played Quake before. There is no need to with this game.
Overall, i did give this a full 5 star rating only because i still think this game is the best, despite its problems. And for those who haven't yet check out Crisis Core as well, great prequel to this game.
4189 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is still one of the best RTS games ever. A must have for any video game junky when you just need some good old school fun.
One of Banjo's shining areas aside from gameplay is the sound. The characters speak in a gibberish sort of language (with text shown on the bottom of the screen) and this might annoy some but it's still good to add personality to each character. The sound effects are all good too, no complaints there. The really cool part of the sound, though, is the music. The tracks are cool enough as they are, but when you're standing on a different spot or in a different area, like if you're under water or at the entrance to a different world, the music style and sound totally changes while keeping the same song. Then as you exit the spot the music transitions back to the normal style, and this effect may sound small without actually hearing it but trust me when I say it's really, really cool.
3706 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great purchase. It came in a brand new just like detail said. The game ran in my PS2 perfectly. Love the game.
Otherwise, the visual and audio effects of the game are breathtaking and the game play is very interesting and more intuitive than the original version.
7764 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very funny game with a kool gameplay mechanic. Theres a rig you use to knock enemies around, solve puzzles, and traverse lvls. They make the enemies fun to kill as well as neccesity. Graphics aren't great but controls are easy to get used too. The story is hilarious and cool, while you rescue other team members more opens up. If you liked earthworm jim, a kool and fun story with a zany cast, and a pretty kool gameplay mechanic, get this game.
5727 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In terms of the overall feel of the game, Final Fantasy VIII is about what fans of the series have come to expect. You walk around, randomly you're attacked, and you do a lot of battling to level up and become more powerful.
I downloaded this game from PSN to my PSP, and even without a controller this game controls quite well, save for the shooting. Using the PSP's control nub is kind of inaccurate when attempting to fine-tune shots. The game features many control options to choose from.
1604 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is one of the classic survival horror games that started the ball rolling for gamers. its definitely not recommended for casual players being that its old school hard. bad camera angles choppy controls way to many zombies that reappear to soon. it is still even with the flaws one of the better survival horror games out there. do not miss the chance to play this if your a fan of horror
4215 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 BEST RTS GAME EVER PLAY, FAST MOVEMENT MAKE EVERY THING GOOD, NOT LIKE OTHER STRAGITY GAME THIS ONE RUN FASTEST.
9839 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you ever had frequent reoccurring dreams of flying from danger, this is the game for you. Icarus(Kid Icarus) can never truely set sail into the air but he sure tries to. Your power of flight is in the timing of the jumps and the "floating" time in the air before plummeting to your doom. This improved verson over NES(I never played NES version) is fun and the only thing that gets tired is your thumbs. I actually bought it new on release date in 1992 or something from Software Ect. After much frunstration and frequent deaths, I got the groove of the timing and shooting. It has a catchy (nintendo style) Muzak tune and great cartoon-like drawings of greek structures and characters. (monstrocities much like "Rygar") Get it for fun and put your brain in neutrol and your reflexes to tango mode!
The graphics are mid-nineties graphics: 3rd person, 2-D. So if you can't appreciate a game that doesn't have all the latest bells and whistles, you won't appreciate this one. There are some really gruesome scenes, not for the faint of heart or stomach. The voice acting is mostly pretty good but in some places character voices were hard to understand. There are subtitles, though, so that wasn't a problem. Other sound f/x were well-done, being suited to the various environments yet not too repetetive or demanding of attention.
4462 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 here are the pros and cons of this:

With its second screen in the controller's memory card and its amazing library of games, this console is a boon to own today. Used Dreamcast games are often sold for $10 or less on Amazon, and that means you can quickly build a true library of games for a fraction of the cost.
You, along with other troops are sent on a mission to neutralize enemy forces occupying a planet. As you reach orbit the dropships are shot down by enemy forces. You have to fight your way through, meet up with your other lancemates that were also shot down and find a way to get off the planet alive while at the same time driving to accomplish your mission.
4727 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it or hate it, this is side scrolling action at its best. I see that a lot of people complained that it borrowed from Metroid; I say kudos! Metroid was also great and was in my opinion the best side scroller until SOTN. You can read any number of reviews for the particulars, but I want to point out that this game is available for $9.99 to download from the PS3 store onto your PS3 or PSP.
As for multiplayer, STARCRAFT is really great if you have a few family members who play also! What I mean to say is, is that if your computer is part of a LAN, like mine is, you'll experiance STARCRAFT multiplayer lag free, like it was meant to be played. Why play on Battle.

3837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now I love pc and console role playing games as well as pc shooters. So when I found out about this game years ago I was in heaven!!! The game is a great mix of first person shooter, role playing, and horror! Things come at you from around the corner and the very ship you're on is out to get you! Awesome! Since it came out years ago it's able to play on even the lowest spec computer. Graphics may not be up with today's realistic "junk" but who cares this game will scare the crap out of you!!!
9755 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Good: Great graphics for its time, a lot of races to do, rally races are fun, you can tune up cars just like real life
7717 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's basically one of the greatest 2D platformers of all time. Super Metroid being the only one I consider superior, and that's a somewhat different genre (it created its own genre, "Metroidvania," as opposed to level-based Mario platformers).
As I stated above, this is the first time that Final Fantasy V was playable in the United States. Graphically, the game is similar to Final Fantasy IV (the one with Cecil and Golbez), but there is a significant difference. The difference is that there is a job based leveling system now. This predates Final Fantasy Tactics, but it is similar (less refined, perhaps). As you progress through the game, your abilities in battle depend on what job class you have chosen to be, and mastering multiple job classes is key to beating the game. The story is somewhat of a let down after Final Fantasy IV. I feel this is one of the weaker games in the series, but it is still fun.
What he got was $5 to buy some more weed(cause he must have been smoking something to sell me this game for $5). I got one of the best Nintendo games of all time. It has an excellent story, excellent graphics and character models(by SNES standards), and the music is outstanding. Its by far the best soundtrack for any game(besides Donkey Kong Country). The game never gets old and it never ceases to amaze me how entertaining it is. I guess SNES games are like fine wine, they get better with age.
5821 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An impulse buy at the computer store that turns into a great game. When I bought my computer in October, I had no "real" games. So I was in search of being entertained.
However, this will cover both the Genesis and PC version.

The Bad:
1528 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sure, this game's been out for alomost four years now, but it's time I reviewed it. The exceptionally popular foul-mouth TV shows based on the fictional, yet epic adventures of Kyle, Cartman, Stan, and (the now removed) Kenny, four innocent little third graders (now fourth) in the snowy, mountain town of Colorado. It's a wonderful life; you have a gay teacher, a pimp-daddy chef, a best friend who dies more than 10 times a week, and all the Cheesy Poofs you could ever want. At least, until, killer turkeys, aliens, clones, and toys invade your town and try to take it over. YOU and YOU alon must prevent these attacks (or you could just leave the worthless town to be burnt, but then the game's no fun).
4824 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game could do alot better than it really did. It takes way to long to build something or to train something. But it has a good storyline where its humans against orcs. I do enjoy watching them battle it out and ending in a gory death. The land isn't detailed enough. What this game lacks is details.
3659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love mine so much it's scary. The graphics are absolutely beautifull. The sound is crisp and crystal clear. There is a huge library of games for this system, so no matter what gaming genre you are a fan of, there just has to be something you'll love.the load times are quick, and on some games there is none. As if this weren't enough you can go online for some multiplayer action. This is the best video game system i have ever play, period. Buy this and you will not regret it, trust me.
I got my hands on the full version and rushed through the first level, eagar to see what theivery lay ahead. When I started playing the second level I found myself making my way through a haunted mine where I had to avoid zombies, kill spiders and eventually free someone from a prison. The whole thieving aspect had been taken away, and not only had degenerated into a standard cliched fantasy hack n slash affair, it was a BAD hack n slash affair. The next 2 or 3 levels were the same. Yes, you had to be stealthy, but not in the same context. I never played on - I had no motivation to.
2281 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you think that the "Star Wars Episode 1: Racer" is an effort to cash in on the _Phantom Menace_ hype, you vastly underestimate the talent at Lucasarts. As usual, they top expectations and deliver something far beyond a merchandising tie-in. This is a product which pushes the boundaries of the racing genre. Take this feature-rich game out of the Star Wars Universe and you still have a thrilling, easily-networkable ride.
4346 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft does fall into the RTS genre; resource gathering, unit creation, base building, ect. But it isn't as demanding for a strategic genius as games like Age of Empires or Rise of Nations. Nonetheless, it's an explosive game that will keep you busy for a long time. In a way, StarCraft is a great change of pace for fans of more complex RTS games (like me). Playing Rise of Nations all the time can start to get overwhelming because of the constant mass and micro management needed. In StarCraft, you don't have to deal with a ton of diplomacy issues or anything like that. A typical game has things set up kind of like an RTS death match. All of the resources you need are sitting right next to your base. Collect them, build defenses, then build an army. You can choose from three different races. The Terran, a human army of colonists, Zerg, a race of bugs, mutants, and everything creepy and crawley, and the Protos, a super intelligent race with psionic powers. Each race (Terran, Zerg, Protos) have their one advantages and disadvantages. The Terran are well balanced and are best for beginners. They have good infantry and a variety of defenses. One good advantage is that important Terran Buildings (command centers, barracks, ect.) can lift off the ground and fly to a new area for a quick escape. The Zerg rely on the masses. Their units are not as powerful but they are also less expensive and some are created in groups. One of their disadvantages is that they cannot build (mutate) on normal ground; only on a thick slime that covers the ground near their buildings. The Protos have very powerful units, but they are more expensive and take longer to build. A huge advantage for the Protos is that they don't have to sit at a construction site and waste time building it up. All you have to do is get one of your little probes to warp the building in. The second the probe reaches the building site, they actavate a portal and the building basically starts to build itself, allowing the probe to tend to other matters. As a side effect, they can't repair damaged buildings. The sounds are nothing to make a whole extra section about (zap, boom, kerpow, "gimme somethin' to shoot.") but they're what you would expect from a game like this. The music also fits the mood perfectly. The graphics are about the same as Age of Empires II with a slightly more animated look making everything look and run smooth. It's hard to tell how good the AI is because of the simple tactics they use; launch waves of troops at your enemies and destroy them all. The AI also loves to rush. Expect to be attacked about five minutes into the game. Along those lines, the computer does very well. The environments are very interesting and original, covered with black dirt, craters, strange animals and purple trees. StarCraft also has a great (and free) online multiplayer with an endless number of people to play with.
- No close-captioning/subtitles available
In the end, retro gamers look to DKR for its awesome gameplay. It's the only kart racing game I've played that has a proper storyline and an actual quest-like adventure mode. The multiplayer is still intense 4-player action, which also allows you to put AI racers alongside you and your friends.
2134 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works wonderfully

My advise though Norton doesn't state it; is to destroy every copy of the PC version of "Final Fantasy VII" that you have to prevent infecting the computers in the world.

1801 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game took me quite a few tries to get, but now that i got it, i played the heck out of it. one of my faves, for i have the 2nd and third part. I just wish someone could tell me how to go about getting all the gems after u defeat cortex on this first part i got here.
And with that, If you like fighting games and don't mind the rp syle battle mode then its difintely deserves to be in your game libary. I don't find the battle mode constricting or reduce the fun in anyway.

The gameplay is much better. As you probably know, in the first Age of Empires, you could only build one unit at a time per building, and the "Rise of Rome" expansion only allowed you to build multiple units of the same type. The Age of Kings allows you to que multiple units of different types, up to a maximum of 15 at a time.
Like a challenge,
5021 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just like movies some games remain timeless and just as influential today as they did back when they were released and Silent Hill is one of those games.

In conclusion, you should buy this game, I can assure you, that that you will not regret it!
But above the improved engine, JK excelled because it was as much a SW experience as it was a game - with a tight story line, excellent level design and filmed FMV cut scenes. (Most people hated the cut-scenes - poorly acted and not very effects laden - but I loved them; they added to the movie-like feeling and, anyway, "Attack of the Clones" had horrible acting and scenes that went on much longer) You never had that feeling of other shooter games where you suddenly stopped and wondered - OK, where am I, what am I looking for and why am I hitting all of these buttons. The story returns pro-rebel mercenary Kyle Katarn to the fore. Learning that his father was killed by an evil dark jedi named Jerec, Kyle sets off on a mission of revenge. Soon he learns more - that Jerec rules an entire faction of imperials intent on locating the lost "Valley of the Jedi" (also featured in "Jedi Outcast"). The burial place of countless jedi, the valley also holds a bottomless reservoir of their force power. The plot has Kyle tracking a traitorous droid named 8T88 from Nar Shadaa to his father's home planet of Sulon (the droid decodes a map leading to the valley - the map is then destroyed). Great level design makes each player map seem less a map than a place that must be navigated. AI suffers in terms of the imperial troops - who prove bad enough before their blasters are force-grabbed away. Balancing that out, the game is generous with boss modes - sending you up for 5 lightsaber duels with the dark jedi, including the climactic duel with Jerec. Personally, I hated the saber duels - they always seemed to boil down to hopping and slashing with sabers. (Jedi Outcast is most improved in that respect - there are much better looking duels, and more of them). Your force powers are divided between generic powers (speed, jump, sight) and those specific to light (heal, persuasion) or dark (lightning) forces. Your reliance on dark or light powers (and your ability to keep from killing various innocent by-standers) will determine whether you are a light or dark jedi. (The consequent difference for one side or another is not that great - mostly it determines which of Jerec's evil jedi you will fight in one of the latter duels, and which cut scenes you'll watch). Sound and graphics compare well with the newer games, and the overall plot makes you feel like you're in a Star Wars movie.
9314 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of the best arcade sticks I haved tried. I love it! Much bigger than the NES Advantage and it feels solid while playing.
1896 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The is the first Spyro game and it paved the road for all the other Spyro games. The story: When the evil Nasty Norc turns all of the dragons into statues, it's up to Spyro, a small purple dragon, to set them free and defeat Nasty Norc. You travel with Sparx, your dragonfly companion and also your health gage, as you collect gems and go through six gigantic worlds with over 25 levels in all. This game is great, although it's not very challenging, it offers hour of entertainment. My favorite world is the Beast Makers world. It's a creepy place and almost all the levels in it take place at nighttime, which to me is the best type of level in Spyro. My favorite is Tree Tops because it is a gigantic level that gives you that creepy feeling, even the music is creepy in it's own way. Another minor flaw in this game is that it has no mini-games in it. Those always provide extracurricular fun, but I'm happy to say that they are introduced in a later Spyro release. I'd recommend this game today if you don't already have it. If you not into Spyro, this is the place to start at.
The grappling totally ate. I was basically kicking, punching and occassionally jumping off the top rope in an attempt to win. I could not get the grapping. It was seriously that bad. Every now and then, I'd pull off a little something, but after that one time, I could never replicate the move. Again another G- for effort (the grading was so low that I couldn't even give it an F because it was that bad).
Cloud is just such an amzig character,and so is Sephiroth.
Here're the ideas of "Colony Wars": Large firey explosions even if they don't really exist in space because fire needs oxygen to exist and space has no atmosphere. Black holes even if they don't exist as large red whirlpools in the middle of space backgrounds because their gravity is so intense, light cannot escape. Spaceships even though they don't have wings like planes because there is no atmospheric friction to enable control using aero parts. Also, they don't make loud rumbling noises when they pass by the camera lense because sound needs atmosphere. Here, you get a future of imperialistic humans warring over the colonization and liquidation of the rest of the planetary systems in the universe for purposes of natural resources. The mission and battle drill instruction voice is male, but it is okay for a female to narrate if limited to talking about other subjects like the options menus. "Space cowboys" does not make science fiction, only unoriginal action games captivating non-thinkers.
543 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Kartia: "The Word Of Fate" (recognized as Rebus in Japan), crams fabulous innovation in one decent Strategy/RPG. Although Atlus has released a few worthy games on the PlayStation console, Atlus begins to grow as a company who'll soon promote their selves into a house-hold name. Like the arising empire of Enix. Despite the humiliation from their most embarrassing game, Eggs of Steel, Atlus is gaining momentum with their not-notch RPGs. Taking corresponding steps alike with Ogre Tactics and my all time precious- Final Fantasy Tactics-, Kartia packs charming innovations. Sure, Kartia may not have the excellent job systems like FFT, or any archers for the matter, yet it brings temples of innovations to bury the burden. It has Phantoms. Once the player ons his PlayStation, the player selects his decision to accept the role of Toxe or Lacryma. Each character has a totally different story process. The niddy-griddy fun in Kartia is concentrating on your arsenal of Phantoms. They are paper-rock-scissors monsters. All phantoms can be defeated by a specific one and vise versa. Phantoms play the most basic role. During the game, the player uses them to create elemental magic or specialize weapons. Assembling the player's own infantry takes a critical job for victory or instant death. The objectives in Kartia are alike with FFT's system. From claiming the lives of your adversaries to escorting a vital character, Kartia has the same fundamentals of any Strategy/RPG game. What really amazes, is the addition to disturb the environment. Players have the opportunity to cut down trees down for a bridge and order a magician to freeze a pool of water for walking. Battling enemies on the vast terrain is exciting, but the game loses some valuable points from being completely linear. Gladly, there is another innovation that covers that burden as well, the 2P Mode. Final Fantasy Tactics could have been truly flawless if Square decided to include the 2P Mode. Kartia takes Strategy/RPGs deeper. The 2P Mode allows two players to battle their armies on saved data. Players can also trade items. The ONLY downslope going for Kartia is the abrupt end. Kartia is an engrossing story. With a tale like this, why not bring an anime in the movie industry? Both characters have dissimilar story progressions. Loxe is a young boy who enjoys the elegance of swordplay a bit too much. Lacryma is an incredibly robust Shrine Knight. It's up to these two heroes to protect the land from barbaric rebels. Heroes fighting the bad rebels may sound dull and boring, but once the backstabs roll in, there's no way the player can let the controller free again. Someone, anyone, make Kartia an anime! Graphically Kartia is a 3D splendor. The vibrant colors hold an artistic environment. When a person speaks, a dialogue box is set above the screen and the character's faces appear. At the FMV department, the videos are dark, and morbid that triumphantly stimulates your daily dose of eye-candy. Music thrives to hand the player spectacular soundings. The beats can really adjure you in an edge of your seat thrill. Atlus has succeeded to create a game that goes beyond the redundant RPGs today. Don't be fooled by Kartia's age or lack of popularity. This is a solid buy. FFT fans, run- kill only if necessary- to grab a hold of this monster. 2P mode shines and awaits for your arrival. In return for your forty bucks you'll get the chance to trade items with a friend, and get sucked into a extremely addictive play!
In the end, the number one reason this game is so good is because each and every level is positively *loaded* with fun things to do. One moment you're collecting bananas and coins- the next you're either jumping through barrels, riding up and down ropes, swinging around, jumping up and down on tires, riding platforms to faraway places, tossing barrels, or defeating all kinds of beautifully animated enemies. The fun seriously never ends. This game rules.
I did not like the characters I had been introduced to, before I quite playing. Cloud is incredibly angsty and self-centered in the beginning, and I found all the social scenes centered on him to be unpleasant. His friendship with Tifa doesn't make much sense to me either. Tifa is a sweet person, and portrayed as kind-hearted, yet she seems to be obsessed with Cloud who is nothing like her emotionally. Barret, um, can we say racist? Barret, the only black person in the game, consistently beats his chest like a gorilla. Yes, let's make the black person look and act like a gorilla.
8913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just got my copy of IoG and it works great. IoG is the second game in the Soul Blazer series, 1st being Soul Blazer, 2nd Illusion of Gaia and the 3rd being Terranigma(which saddly never made it to North America). In IoG you play as Will a young boy who wields---a flute---yeah...anyway you're accomplayed by a Royal Princess Kara and a Blue haired girled Lilly and other of Will's friends as they try to save the world from utter doom. Along the way Will, will gain the use of two other spirits, the sword swinging Freedan and the flaming spirit Shadow. If you like the Soul Blazer series and still have a snes I'd get this as quick as you can.

2882 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 everything perfect
Despite of all the new features and complexed storyline, the game is fairly easier than the previous Zelda titles and alot more fun. Your main goal (as Link) is to obtain the three triforces (this game combines the three triforces from the NES titles) which are the Triforces of Wisdom, Power, and Courage. Before you go anywhere near the triforces, you must obtain three different pendants (from three different dungeons guarded by the evil Gannon's guardians)to get the Master Sword. You must use the Master Sword to get through the Hyrule Castle to find Princess Zelda and fight Agahnim (the evil Gannon's disguise). Then he transports you to the dark world (taking the Princess with him) as you rush through several altered creatures that would either help you or stand in your way, but you must make your choices wisely. Then you find out that Agahnim has trapped Princess Zelda and six of the other King's madiens (daughters) in seven different dark world dugeons so its up to you to free the maidens from the dungeons by finding the seven different power crystals. Freeing the madiens is far from your last stop because now you must use the power crystals and the power of the seven madiens to unlock Agahnim's dark world tower and fight him once again. After defeating him, he turns into Gannon and now you must chase him into the pyramid for the final showdown (but not before you obtain the silver arrow, yes the silver arrow that will put him to rest for good). Unlike the original Zelda game, fighting Gannon is far from a picnic so use better judgement with your strategies and make sure you have plenty of fairies bottled up in case you die in the "line of duty." After his defeat, you are awarded with the three Triforces of which eliminates the dark world and restores order within Hyrule. Not sure how this will lead into the original Zelda, but who cares cause this game rocks! I still have the game working order, but I had to order another Super NES because my 20 year old system has recently crashed. This game proves to be the best of all the Zelda titles I've played (and one of the best selections from the Super NES library) only because of the cool graphics, enhanced features and gameplay, and also due to the fact that I can finish it in one day, even if it takes hours.
The graphics are superb, the storyline is one of the best I've seen and the combat system I just loved. Very easy to use controls and has dungeon crawl galore.
3529 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After purchasing the Interact Tremor Pak, from which I was very disappointed I got a Sega Jump Pak. What can I say about it? Its simply the best Jump Pak around, PERIOD....NO, its not up for debate...just accept it! The Sega Pak has a moderate amount of vibration when it needs it and has a nice but managable amount for serious action. This is simply a good product to have and by far surpasses the Inter_crap Tremor Pak.
5931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blizzard achieved what seemed impossible: keep Diablo's spirit, add some unique features, expand character development capabilities, lengthen the story mystery, awesome graphics and sound for another total immersion (ok there may have been one minor detail I would have liked kept from the original: the way quests were given, with large golden letters slowly scrolling on screen while being read by a great voice.. very very minor...).
Game Play:
The graphics and sound are top-notch, both in their own right and as adaptations of existing material. The alien and human environments match those of the film, and the selection of weaponry intelligently expands on that presented in 'Aliens'. Best of all, there are lots of nice touches - the sound and music is sampled from the films, the Predator's vision modes switch with a familiar 'whack' noise, and you're encouraged to replay the game by an extensive series of bonus items, bestowed by achieving certain difficult goals. The short FMV sequences are top-notch, too.
When I play this game, i like to ride around in Knight Rider, or maybe the General Lee, try and eulude cops driving lambourghinis... gouranga!
2787 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I admittedly played Myst and was frustrated with it. I was so used to games giving you hints/directions so you knew where you had to go to progress the story. Myst broke that boundary and let you "explore" a world. I never finished it and only got maybe 30-35% through it before I stopped playing.
Character dev - Although they give you a little info on specific targets, it didn't seem worth the effort to look any deeper into their back story. I just went forth on a killing spree. You point me in that direction? Here I go. There's no option to ever take a person into custody and question them. You kill anyone who you are pointed at.
- slow pace
Storyline: 5/5 The story was copied by the old Zelda from Super Nintendo but made into a more better world. More places to explore, and more side quests to do!
6538 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This item arrived in good shape and in good time. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but am looking forward to it!
7165 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is a simply amazing game. I know... I'm writing this almost 5 years after the game came out, But I assure you i beat the game years ago. I was rummaging through some old games several hours ago when I rediscovered this gem. To think, I had almost forgotten how good this game was. Sure, compared to Games like Doom3, Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Golden Eye Rouge Agent, this game has horrable graphics, but this is very easily overlooked. The story is engrossing, the weapons are fantasic, and the multiplayer is the best thing since online play. The controls take some getting used to (I've been spoiled by these controlers with two thumb sticks lol), and the N64 controls are a little too sensitive for this game (corrected by some auto-aiming functions), but you will get over this. The guy before me (who wrote his review 4 years ago...) isn't entirely right. Is the game difficult? yes. Is it impossible? no. I beat the whole thing on medium difficulty and got half way through hard before finially retiring the game (I hope to one day beat the whole game on hard though). The game will actually require you to practice if you want to beat those higher difficulties (thats why there are tons of training ops, and a combat simulator), and you will have to try missions over. The game is not nearly as hard as you may be led to believe (If you want it to be though, the game can be set on some insainly hard difficulties... we're talking about so difficult, that they could be concived as a cruel joke rather than a difficulty level... but thats only if you want to set the game this high.) The game offers so much variety, you will hardly get bored with single player, and enough customization options for multiplayer, that it rivals most modern games (which is pretty sad). From stealth, to hostage rescue, to defense, to assault, to reconance, to assassination, to infiltration, there are so many things you will do in single player. I some how get a feeling that this review will never be read, but if by some chance your wandering eyes glance over this review, and you are still the proud owner of an N64 with and expansion pack, then believe me when I say that if you find this one, you can't afford to not pick it up. This remains one of my all-time favorite games... don't miss it.
Control: 5.5 This is Blue Stinger's weakest point. Analog control is too loose for precision movement, while digital simply isn't responsive enough. The result is a game that's difficult to play at times when precision movement is critical (such as swimming). Luckily, this isn't a platformer, so these are few and far between. What really makes the control so lacking is the camera, which while far improved over the "cinematic" one found in the Japanese version (thanks to some noticeable tweaking by Activision), still manages to get itself in, shall we say, less than advantageous positions (usually they're experienced while in water or in tight corridors). While these are minimal, there are more than enough of them to annoy all but the most hardcore gamers.
THE GOOD

Stage 6: I didn't recognize it
6349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nintendo has to be one of the best systems ever and its all because of the games and the controller. There are quite a few classic games for it(platformers like Super Mario 64,racers like F Zero X,flight simulators like Star Fox 64,puzzle games like Tetris and Dr. Mario 64,shooters like Doom 64 and role playing games like Ocarina Of Time. Call me crazy but I still think that this system has great graphics even by todays standards. They may not be as stylish and pretty as X Box's or Game Cube's but they just look cool. And the controller rocks. Its the perfect length and doesnt even get tangled up and it feels great in the hands. And its worth it to buy it if you're a die hard Mario fan,a die hard Zelda fan or even a die hard F Zero fan like me.

4120 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have played this game for 1.5 years now. Its great and addictive and is very different from what I have played before. It draws you in as the scenarios get tougher and your will to beat them skyrockets. The gameplay is good, but can lag, and the time in the game moves slow. I feel its a good game to play if your bored and you should buy it and try it yourself. Beware, its addictive.

The game play is a bit strange and hard to get use to because the aim and movement joysticks should be switched. The c pad on the N64 controller is hard to move with. Great game with practice!
6025 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is truly the greatest add-on for half-life, other than CS. I wasn't too thrilled with being able to play "bob"(blue-shift), but I couldn't wait to play this. The army always bugged the s*** out of me, and I wanted to be them. But it wasn't exactly what I expected. They could have made this 3000 times better if they knew that the problem was going on, not being thrusted into the action like everyone else. I wanted to be able to neutralize the threat, and the facilitators. Not have them be our crutch. and, you don't get good ammo/weapons in the beginning. It's annoying! But I enjoyed this.
Unlike Kirby 64 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, this game is not totally easy, as there's surprisingly a bit of challenge here. Plus, the music sounds best here.

Though the listed genres I put were Strong -- a lot side scrollers and 2d fighters--Rpg is where it really took a hit. Yes Skies of Arcadia was perfection,Shenmue rocked,and PsO was decent but thats about it...Sad.
EDIT
Chris and Jill are the playable characters, both with their strengths and weaknesses. Honestly, Jill's game is much easier. She gets the bazooka, which Chris does not, and is given the lockpick at the start of the game in place of having to find the Sword Key. Jill also has 8 inventory slots to Chris' paltry six, and because Chris has no lockpick, he has to find small keys to open the locked drawers for ammunition. Having a small key clogging one of Chris' six inventory slots is quite a nuissance, especially since Jill does not even have to bother wasting one of her eight inventory slots with the lockpick. Finally, the obvious reason for Jill's easier game is in her companion, Barry Burton. Barry is very helpful and will heal Jill from a giant poisonous snake, give her acid rounds for the bazooka, help her to get the shotgun and will even torch the massive Plant 42 for her, while Chris is forced to rely on the inexperienced Rebecca to learn to play piano, find serum for him, and mix up a potion to injure Plant 42. There are ways to alter Rebecca's actions to make her a bit more useful, but in the end her assistance is not as valuable as Barry's.
The graphics were cute. From bright blue sunshine and tropical landscapes to the cruel mechanical world of Doctor Robotnik (now called the Eggman). The music was great (where are the soundtrack CDs???) and I was never happier.

Super Mario 64 revolutionized the 3-D platformer; and the amount of people who would deny that are probably fewer than the words in this sentence. But when a revolution comes, what's the point of it being so revolutionary unless something comes of it later on? In video games, a game is a revolution indeed when other games take the basic model and take it to a whole new level, and possibly delivering a game that's even better than the root. Whether it really is a beneficiary of the beloved Mario 64 or Rare is just really, really good at making games, that is where we find Banjo-Kazooie.
The downside of this game (not so big for me, though) is that you don't really travel and talk to people like in the other FF games. When you go to a town, there is a menu of places you can go. So all you have to do is select a place and you're there! But the upside to that would be you don't waste time searching for buildings and other things, so it really depends on the player.
In spite of its age, Intelligent Qube is still a great game. If anyone is looking for a simple, yet addictive puzzle game, then you'll find it with this game.
4916 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is sturdy. It connects well. It play well. It does exactly what you think it should do and does it well.
You will be required to light beacons, find keys, and rescue children. Again, Level 1 isn't so bad, but Levels 2-6 are gonna be a pain in the butt if you get lost. The map you're given sucks. And to make matters worse, you can't leave or quit levels once you've selected them.
Controls- 10/10 Controlling Samus is a breeze, anyone can do it. She stops moving when you take your hand off the buttons, and runs smoothly. You can also wall- jump among other things in this game. Like I said, this is one of, if not the first game to create the ability to run, which as small as it sounds is a great thing.
4267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I purchased this game, I did not expect much. The demo didn't hold much for me, and I didn't find the presence of blood in the game comforting. When I got thet game though, those fears went away. Loaded with hours of replay value and a huge variety of ways to play, this game is certainly well worth the... price tag.
159 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 My father is a seaman. I have seen many ships, sailed with him around the world numerous times. So ships are in my blood. When i saw this game I bought it without batting an eyelid. Well I wish I didn't because I now regret my decision.

1158 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome storyline, awesome graphics. perfect game! great challenge, but not too challenging that you cant beat it. Thanx nintendo for the greateast game ever made!! Great game for all ages! highly recommended!!
Another thing I found sucky was using the whip. I had a hunch you could use the whip to climb. So, I kept using the whip but he kept whipping forward but not up to climb. So I was getting frustrated but I learnt that if you stand in the right position and the camera angle shows where you can latch on.
The last thing to consider is the original Starcraft, and its expansion set Broodwar, are an incredible bargain, at less than twenty bucks for both. Add to that that, they throw in both of the expensive guide books, and game newbies can start playing for dirt. Moreover, just between you, me, and the lamppost, deep down in some secret cavern, inside Blizzards game complex they are working on Starcraft II. If you have the stamina, (or the cheat codes) to beat Warcraft III on its highest setting, and last mission, you get an extended ending sequence. The extension, shows a brief detail of 3D Starcraft characters, in a short battle sequence.
Thanks!
Another mode (which is where you have alot of fun) is multiplayer mode where you go online and play with other people from around the U.S, Asia, UK (or wherever you live.) Once you enter multiplayer mode you'll have to pick a name and password. Once you're done with that you'll be put into a chatroom which is a great part to the game. When you don't feel like playing or if you just want to make friends in the game this feature has it. You can edit your bdy lists here, send friends messages etc (basically the whole aim sceanrio.) Another thing you can do in chatrooms is see how much your lagging (which ill explain in a minute.) Lagging is when your computer is to slow to keep up with the connection and u make everybody suffer from your slow computer. Dont worry though, people who don't have slow computers can drop slow players disrupting a game and game creaters can boot slow people or lagging players or... anyone they want. In multiplayer mode can choose forom a variety of types of games. From a comp stomp where you can =d a bunch of other people take on 1 to 6 or 7 computers to 3v3 no clutter games, and even down to 4v4 nr20min (nr= no rush but some people still don't listen to the rules.) In a multiplayer game you can ally in an ffa (free for all) bs (backstab) and so on. This adds demension to the game making it harder to know who to trust and who to believe. Games with diffrent rules and games called ums are made by starcraft players in the Campaign editor mode. That's right you can make your own game on sc. All of them are fun for the most part but some ums games you may never be good at.
The combat system uses what's called the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, a decent blend of turn-based and real-time. Each character has a time bar, and when it fills you input a command. Commands are executed one at a time, in the order they were chosen. Bars fill up during selection and sometimes during the execution (depending on the action), giving an element of real-time. I had a gripe with this system as the game went on, as trying to locate one of the hundred or so items on my list was getting my characters hurt, but the feature can be turned off without penalty in the menu.
Such a shame, such a shame. But good for me as I embark on a career in Video Game Design. It gives me confidence that I might have something better to bring to the table.
But this review is about Wild Arms. After I had completed FFVII after the holidays, my classmate lent me his copy of Wild Arms. While Wild ARMS didn't contain all the hype and flash that FFVII had going for it (far from it in some aspects), I felt the game overall was a real winner.

Another of my all time favorites.
6503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 6 ( aka Final Fantasy 3 when it was first released in America back in the day ) Is one of my two favorite games of all time, Final Fantasy 4 ( aka Final Fantasy 2, when it was first released in the US ) being the other. Great purchase, worth it to play a game that's not all about crazy next gen graphics and over the top quick time events, just a fun game with great characters, story and atmosphere.

I remember playing the first Metroid game and it was an inspiration to me. It wasn't some linear path, you had to explore. Sure there's a lot of backtracking but if there wasn't then it wouldn't be called "Exploration" now would it?
779 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was worried about getting this but I did anyways because I have been after it for a long time. I was worried because it was Used-Acceptable but it has played great so far (though I haven't gotten very far yet) So so far I am so glad I went ahead and ordered it.
Starfleet Command-a space combat game by Interplay (Quicksilver), is so bereft intuitive control that it becomes a laborious task to make any ship you control do anything useful. Case in point, in my first mission with my frigate sent after Orion pirates, it took me 15 minutes just to hammer down the enemy ship's shields and constantly fiddling with my ship's weapons systems just to get it to fire at the Orion. Of course while all this is going on my frigate is endless rotating and turning all over the map. Why should it be harder to NOT do something than it is to do something. At least in Armada you can simply drag-and-select your ship(s) and click elsewhere on the map to get them to go there. In Starfleet Command, it takes so long to get your ship to do anything that I was given to wonder why I had to select crew members for my new ship in the first place.
Another cool thing about this game is you can use cheat codes and slow the action down to a stop, then move it forward one frame at a time. You see, with Max Payne the bullets are actually flying out of the gun at the target, so when you do super slow-mo you get to see the bullets in mid-air heading for their target. Using the time cheat you can watch bullets hit targets and debris flying all over the place in realistic fashion.
BAD:
Also the game is fairl long...I enjoyed it..The game is pretty old..Probably 5 years old now. I doubt you can find this game but if you can GET IT! This game is not the best game ever made but it will be a solid fun filled game with top notch violence...yea the games pretty violent.
Just want to respond to those who complain about the controls: The controls in this game is no different than the previous TR games. Rope swinging was difficult, but other than that it is the same. You can complain about TR's control scheme all together but those who didn't mind will enjoy this.
First, the graphics are phenomenal for their day. Nothing looked this good back in 1999 on the consoles. The character models were heads and tails above anything gamers had ever saw; they were clean, smooth, detailed, featured flawless animation, with fantastic effects like clothes and hair waving in the wind. The backgrounds are amazing too, various settings from underground caves, deteriorating castles, and Japanese style training grounds.
523 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is amazing!!! The level design and all the awesome puzzles make this game the best TR game I've ever played!! This one is perfect to start if you are too young and never had a chance to play the Tomb Raider classics from PS1. After playing this one, play #5, then #1, then #4. Tomb raider...THE BEST SERIES EVER!! (ESPECIALLY THE CLASSICS ONES FROM 1996 - 2000)

7705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My sister was happy with this product.
Not perfect, but fun as hell and highly recommended for the gamer/idiot savant inside you. Now go and pick up a copy!!! Like, right now!!! Do it!!! Heh, heh, heh!!!
Unfortunately, after this high point, the game soon degenerates into endless missions which advance the plot--painfully slowly. Oh, there are cool points along the way. The cut scenes are interesting, and the sound environment throughout the missions is superb. But the in-play graphics engine is fairly ordinary by LucasArts' own standards. The missions themselves are endless variations on the same themes. And the game's conclusion is less than satisfactory.
I bought some old N64 games and a N64 system about 2 years ago and starFox 64 was one of the games. Naturally, I'm hooked. The graphics are fairly pre-21st century but its a very natural progression for StarFox SNES.
The game is a simple 4-in-a-row type of puzzler. Back then, it was pretty unique and was thought of being obviously inspired by Tetris.
Like the other Metal Gear games, you play as Solid Snake (now the legendary Solid Snake). It is your mission to infiltrate the Shadow Moses Island in Alaska, rescue a hostage and see what is going on. From the moment that you begin the game, what you know is being tested and your place in the story is being escalated quickly. You are handed a lot of information about the plot and the reasons behind everything. This game has some very memorable scenes and memorable enemies. Overall, this is one of the best games on the system and I would recommend it to anybody.
3225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I said it before and I'll say it again in a different way. I'm a 2D fighting veteran and I know which 2D fighter is worth playing all over again and which is worth ditching. However, the PlayStation version of Marvel VS Capcom is just one of those games that needs to be ditched, except for the Dreamcast conversion. Unlike its unworthy PlayStation apprentice, the Dreamcast version of Marvel VS Capcom is 100% arcade perfect in every way ! Allow me to give the lowdown on this game ! The graphics are far by, the best I've seen. Although they seem a bit dated to some people who never played or doubt the VS series, the animation is seamless, with no frames chopped off. The characters look brighter and they move much faster and smoother than that of the arcade version. Including the backgrounds which looks very colorful, but some of them looks like they're featured in an enhanced 16-bit game. But despite of that, the Dreamcast's power is capable of making 2D fighters look better than any other 2D fighters on different home consoles. The sound still remains the same as the arcade and PSX original. The music sounds fairly catchy, but could've been better if Q-Sound hadn't made the music too loud and too flashy to bother even the most patient person in the house. As for the sound effects, almost as similar to that of the earlier VS series, but much improved. You'll still hear a whole lot of the same punching noises and the same hits taken from a super beam or a flame toasted fist. And for the voice acting, the same again, but the only voice that changed, was Ryu's. His character sprite may be based on the original Street Fighter Alpha character, but Capcom designed him to give him his old red headband he had while he was growing older, and make his voice sound a little deeper. As for the gameplay, very well done. The PSX controls didn't do much of the justice but the design of the Dreamcast control fits the gameplay very well. With the DC controller, Marvel VS Capcom plays like a charm ! Yes my friends...it's that good ! And plus, you get the tag feature, where you can switch your characters anytime you want, especially when your first character is losing energy. And as for the game modes, you get five of them, which should be enough to please you. You still get the Arcade mode, along with the 2 player VS mode, Survival mode, Cross Fever mode, and Training mode. As for the selection of characters, it's okay...I guess. You get characters from the Marvel universe from the US and the Capcom universe from Japan. On the Capcom side we've got Ryu, Chun-Li, Zangief, Mega Man, Strider Hiryu, Jin, Morrigan, Captain Commando, and Roll (as a secret character). On the Marvel Comics side we've got Wolverine, Spider-Man, Venom, Gambit, Hulk, and War Machine. The Marvel side does have its share of secret characters, but all of them are alternatives of the same character. But still, while the DC conversion has some flaws, it's still arcade perfect and furthermore, it has no loading times. Marvel VS Capcom for the Dreamcast is one game that shouldn't be left behind. I know what you're saying. I didn't really explain that much detail on the PlayStation version. But the reason why, is because its hard to explain complete details about a horrible port of a true Capcom classic. The DC version was simple to explain, because it defined arcade perfect with a vengeance ! Like I said, if you want the true Marvel VS Capcom experience, play the arcade version or just play this one ! You'll be proud you did !
6874 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although this game isn't the best of the best sega games it is still a classic game. A fun and entertaining way for you to spent a time, espically if it is with your friends.
9619 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i don't know why everyone claims this game is gory - it's not much different than any other shooter. Basically, this game is what you'd expect - it's a newer shooter than some, so it took all the best parts of those and added a few, nicer things. Nothing radically different - it's just a nice, incrementally better shooter.
8137 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World is the best Mario game of all time, and with great reason: Although people prefer Mario 3 over World, SMW fixed what we had to complain about in 3. The game continued on to become the best-selling 16-bit game.
To play as Captain Falcon, you must beat the game on any difficulty with however many lives in UNDER 20 MINUTES. After that Captain Falcon will challenge you. Once you beat him, you be able to select Captain Falcon as a character.
If you're looking for a classic to find and buy Go and buy this...Trust me this is a classic...The game doesn't cotst much either.
The graphics are a mixed bag. Our hero, Dash, is rendered rather nicely, with more polygons than one might expect. The levels, however, have ugly textures that will remind the player of early pseudo 3-D games like DOOM and Dark Forces. Hardly the graphical quality the N64 is capable of. Enemies such as the Stormtroopers and mercenaries are fuzzy with blurred details. However, the graphics on the flying missions and the speeder bike level are exceptional. With regards to sound, John Williams score has never failed before, and fortunately, the music combined with classic Star Wars sound effects is just what Star Wars fans want.

11 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved playing Dirt 2 and I thought the graphics were good. Purchased Dirt 3 as an addition to the other...and the graphics are absolutely "Gorgeous" If you liked Dirt or Dirt 2...you are going to love Dirt 3. The game was easier to configure with my Logitech wireless rumblepad...and with my EVGA GTX 580, and all detail set to full on graphics at 1920 x 1080 I get over 100 fps. The game looks good, plays well and is a blast!

TOMB RAIDER AND GOLDEN EYE AND DIE HARD are just alike, you see go play it for yourself go go on do it. There is more stuff to do if you get in the higher level's and they are very hard. I think they are ten level's in the game. After you done with the game they are four more level's that you can have fun with. Story is almost over. This is the other half of the story.
If you played and liked starcraft before then this package is essential for your collection and will refresh your understanding of the incredible story in time for sc2. If you like rts games already then you should try this game out it is incredibly fun and can actually be very deep strategically if you chose it to be. People who's first video game experiences were fps games on their xbox 360 might not enjoy it, still it never hurts to try new things.
1229 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Crash Bandicoot: Warped = Orange, cool, creative, fuzzy, neat, great graphics, awesome design, introduction of secret levels for the series, power-ups, new bosses (including a big boss), and a new playable character. These things are what make this a major improvement on the two previous games. Crash 1 was a breakthrough, Crash 2 opened up a new world, and this game completely blows it all away. This was how I got hooked on Crash Bandicoot. I played this and loved it. I recommend it.
9741 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great TM game. It's one of my favorites. Everybody has been griping about how bad TM3 and TM4 are. Sure, they do have some flaws, but they're still great games. The graphics are great. It's got a bunch of all new totally metal twisting weapons like MIRVS, Auto Lobs, Rain 2, and more. It has some neat characters and some wierd ones like Meter Maid, Trash Man, and The Jones. You can even be Rob Zombie!. One of the things I like most about this game is that you can create your own vehicle. You can even choose what they can say when they use their special like "Oooh! that's gotta hurt!", and "Crispy fried punk!". It has alot of phrases to choose from. It has cool levels like The Carnival, Sweet Tooth's Bedroom, and Minion's Maze. The only things I didn't like about this game is that some of the levels are large and like mazes and are hard to find opponents even with your radar especially when there's about 2 or 3. Also sometimes when you ram a wall hard your vehicle gets stuck sideways in the wall but you can drive off if there's a corner where the wall stops. That's all I can say. This is a great TM game. I wish everyone would shut up about how bad it is. At least it's Twisted Metal! It would be a great addition to your TM series or just your Playstation collection.
But now it is March 2002. The last game for the system, NHL 2k2, was released, and the era of the DC is over. But who knows? Maybe is a few years, a company will buy the rights to it and will begin producing more games for it, just like Majesco did with the Game Gear.

1053 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For Nintendo, some of their most popular games have been revised over and over again. In the case of the Nintendo 64, the case has happened to itself too. The 1997 Mario Kart 64 game is no acception. The starting flag proves that the light is worth checking out.
This game is more-less for children, but adults can get a kick out of this too. You can tell Sega spent time on this game. This isn't just junk thrown together. The multi-character usage and storylines are a good idea. It adds replay value to the game.
The best feature here is the limitless Storyteller mode potential. In the hands of a capable person, this could make for a whole new world on on-line gaming.
Last up is Plutonia with six levels. Cruel as it may sound, I'm absolutely thrilled this episode got the short end of the stick. Take the challenge of the Master Levels, throw in every cheap shot and tactic in the book and you've got Plutonia in a nutshell. Challenge quickly eclipses entertainment when it comes to levels like Congo, Ghost Town and Onslaught. That said, if you're really serious about tackling the hardest levels Doom can throw at you, I'd again suggest going the PC route so you can save your progress at will. Regardless, while the levels are still well designed at this point I have no problem billing Plutonia as Doom's weakest and ugliest link.
Kill or be kill by:
So if you don't mind dated graphics and SFX and are up for a challenge then I would say get this game and have a blast. A final warning, guard your hero well, anything happens to him/her you'll find yourself starting over in a hurry.
The bad?
Lasting Appeal F
Ocarina of Time is amazing. All the elements of classic Zelda are there - dozens of powerful items and weapons, lots of secrets to find, at least 10 new 3D-rendered challenging dungeons, plenty of secrets and side-games, and something that all the other Zelda's never had: a truly great story!
Are there any more problems? Oh yes, the killer: Getting hit downgrades your weapon one notch, so you essentially play the whole game with the basic short leather whip.
but show some graphics issues in my new nvidia GTX275
Well, you get the point. If this were just another generic first person shooter that was being sold from $20 on the discount rack, maybe I wouldn't feel so annoyed. As it was, I went back and exchanged it for "Soldier of Fortune" which, well also not ground breaking, is solidly entertaining and, at least, mildly innovative.
1378 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not very good at video games, so this game is pretty tough for me. I only have about 20 stars right now and I've had it about a year! However, other than the not-so-great 3D graphics and the silly camera angles, it is a fun though challanging game. I look forward to someday getting all 120 starts!!! haha

When you fire up a saved game, your character is back at the starting town for that Act, not in the middle of the dungeon where you left off. This may not seem like much, but it is an incredibly tedious change from the first Diablo for somebody who doesn't have a lot of contiguous time to play computer games. As a father of two kids, I do not have much time to sit in front of a computer, so I grab what time I can spare: a half-hour here, an hour there. Blizzard's design decision means that at least the first 15 minutes of any Diablo II session are spent just getting back to where you were. If you only have 30 minutes to spend playing, don't even bother booting up the game. Sure, they put in waypoints to teleport you around, but with the monsters regenerated you still have to spend a lot of time battling your way through territory you've already been through, and some of the waypoints are out in the middle of a level so that when you teleport in you're instantly surrounded by monsters. If you are playing a Sorceress character, like me, this is a potentially fatal situation that you would never have let yourself get into normally.
- Graphics look very dated
6851 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 remember the days when sonic had the finest graphics in the world well 2d or not even today id take sonic over quit a few xbox or ps2 games because sonic had so much class i mean hes a blue hedgechog who has a super saign {i don't know which one was made first sonic or dragonball z}. even though it had a lack of plot or how sega recycle a lot of the levels it was sheer brilliance i mean i used to love sonic and was sad when sega stopped making game consoles {i mean think of the classics alex kidd, eco the dolphin,soul calibur and lets never and i mean never forget kid chameleon}well no matter how old i get ill never forget when that little blue hedchog was revolutionary in terms of graphics,sound and length.
Happy Gaming!
Well in Donkey Kong Land, whenever you run and jump, for some reason Donkey Kong and Diddy's animation slows down drastically so you almost hang in mid air, which means you never actually leap in the air very far... which means, you basically have to stand right next to the edge of a cliff in order to make it across to the next platform. It seems while you're holding a barrel you jump a bit further though. Weird. Either way, after a while you'll learn to adjust to it just fine so it won't present much of a problem.
*The levels were well designed
7007 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game is both fun and hard. this one dog guy tells you what to do. a guy that killed your dad is real evil for a monkey. you get to travel through a galaxy filled with planets to save. at some levels you get to battle your rival, star wolf. he's a wolf and you're a fox. they are trying to stop you from getting to andros, the monkey guy that i was talking about up there, because they work for him. whenever you see peppy, your ally, shoot him and kill him because he is really annoying. every level has a boss and they get harder each time you battle one. your friends are falco, slippy, and peppy. then there's you the one who does somthing. kill slippy and peppy but not falco. falco saves you on the second level while slippy and peppy are being dorks. if you really try hard you can beat it real easy.

Following some of the same guidlines found in Blizzard's Starcraft, you must play 4 chapters in the struggle with a fight to fend off the Borg. You mine dilitium moons and build starbases in space to amass huge armadas of ships to do battle with. Each chapter focuses on a specific race that you must control and successfully complete each mission. It does make for some fun game play and insight into a story created for this game.
Fly a copter and do missions in the janky world. Drop people in the ocean & watch them drown just because you can.
If this is any indication of the fun that they have while playing this game, it's only because the game is that good.
-Pacing- Along with the battle system, FF8's pacing is its biggest problem. Instead of throwing you right into the action ala FF7, FF8 starts off rather slowly with the main character being a student in school. To be fair, there are plenty of exciting sequences in the game, but there are also several slow segments, which caused me to quit playing this game for long stretches.
In Super Mario Land 2, Wario comes out of nowhere and kicks out Mario from his castle and takes over his land. To face him, Mario must collect 6 coins scattered throughout 6 worlds with multiple levels each in order to regain his castle. The same rules applies just like in Super Mario Land and with more enemies, power ups and stages to see, the game saves your progress after you complete each level.
NFL Blitz 2000 appears to be pretty much the same game with better graphics, a play editor, a 4-person multiplayer, and a roster update. Like the original, you have a series of passing plays that you use to gain 30 yards in 4 plays. Also like the original, all conventional rules regarding football have been thrown out the window. It's a pretty wild ride.

8553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Years ago on the SNES, Square and Nintendo worked together to release an RPG. Many people were anxiously awaiting this game and why shouldn't they have? These 2 companies were famous for their own hits at the time. Square with Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and the Final Fantasies. Nintendo with Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and of course Mario. When it was released it seemed it was a game that people either loved or hated. I was one that loved the game. Super Mario RPG had everything that a great RPG needed, with a nostalgic and original feeling to it that made it so special.

Nightlong comes on three CD full of perfect graphics, animations and music, the puzzles are on the right level of difficulty and the story pulls you in the game immediately from the beginning. If you are a fan of good adventure games, you will not regret the money you spend for buying it. I only hope that Nightlong is not the last adventure game from Team 17.
Great for the novelty value, great for the gameplay experience. Resident Evil 2 must be in your N64 collection.
You can customize them via colors and name. It's really fun since each class has its own set up strengths and weakness. The main thing is to collect all the rune stones, fight bad guys and restore every thing back to the way it was. The boss monsters are really cool to.

For all you FS1 people who have no clue about this one, it takes place 32 years after the Lucifer was destroyed and the Sol jump node collapsed, isolating Earth from the Terran civilization. The GTVA has been formed, unifying the Terrans and Vasudans. Suddenly, the Neo Terran Front, a rebel force led by renegade Admiral Bosch, starts a war with the GTVA over the Vasudan alliance. Not only that, the Shivans are back, but the Terrans and Vasudans have advanced greatly technologically in 32 years, and are ready to fight them this time around. Also, we find out why Bosch has rebelled against his people, and it involves the Shivans. As the story unfolds, his agenda becomes clear, and could have serious consequences for the galaxy.
Syphon Filter has some of the most memorable levels I can remember. This is a game you play several times and remember where every enemy is, every crate location, and even how to kill each enemy. The levels vary with stealth sections, climbing, and timed areas. The game features a smart lock-on system because there is no camera control. It is surprisingly smart and follows you wherever you go. Enemies wearing flak jackets can only be taken out with head shots or very powerful weapons. This requires aiming in first person mode and taking them out. This flak jacket element is a staple of the series and will go on to be in every game. It is actually an element all on its own and not just body armor for you or the enemy. You can die very easily and if you don't stop and aim for head shots you will waste ammo and/or die very quickly.
I really don't recommend letting youngsters get there hands on this game as it is full of offensive materials and adult content, but if that stuff offends you don't worry the game has the feature to remove any adult content.
2635 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this isn't bad i have it and it works great i think this is better then alot of older systems like game boy or super nt but still its a good system.
Magic has nothing to do with MP. Spells are "drawn" from enemies. You can either draw multiples of spells and store them for future use, or you can draw a single spells and cast it immediately. Likewise, spells can be linked to attributes to reinforce them.
- Lots of modes to unlock and lots of fighters to choose from
The only thing that's missing is an online mode, which Rare was kind enough to give us in the DS version. But what that version lacks is Conker and Banjo. Any game called Diddy Kong Racing without a redneck bear and a drunken squirrel is not Diddy Kong Racing.
Graphics: For its time, this game had amazing graphics. The only PS1 games I can think of that had better graphics than this game would be the Syphon Filter series. 9/10.
8932 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So I had a real hard time deciding between this and Grand Theft Auto 3/Vice City. This wins due to epic theme and the fantastic alien graphics. The game play is astounding. This game is moderately challenging and entertaining to the end. I cried the first time I beat this game because I didn't want to Samues's adventure to end. This game is it. It doesn't get better. I'm gonna go cry now.
9794 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rules, this game is a classic and it rules. 10 out of 10 one of my favorites. But this is all nostalgic opinion, still 10/10
beat the game in less than 2 weeks. Remember, this was before the time before the internet, you had to rely on
4415 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You'll have to create a COMMAND.TXT folder & place "multitest cowquest theoquest bardtest barbariantest" to unlock some of this stuff. The Monk can either bee seen as some kind of Joke OR the most challanging character to play. The Bard & Barbarian are improved versions of the Rogue & Warrior in that they can wield two 2-handed weapons at a time. The cowquest is funny. Not having played Diablo without the expansion, I can't say what else is new, but I DO like that this game has the SAVE ANYWHERE feature than many games after it neglected. There are an aweful lot of different dungeon maps, so I suppose some were added, as well as armor, weapons, monsters, extra difficulty. On the negative side, it didn't add better voice acting.....
6918 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!
We all know the storyline of the game, and most of us remember all the thrilling moments to the point where they have lost their sharpness over the years. But take yourself back in time for a minute and try to remember what this game felt like to you the very first time you played it when you were much younger, and games were much different. This game felt like nothing we had ever played, and no gaming experience was even close to what we got from the playing the original Resident Evil. Back then, there was still alot of social debate whenever a game came around that featured a significant amount of violence, yet Resident Evil was so unique in that it literally felt like being trapped in a scary zombie movie. There wasn't much debate surrounding the gratuitous amount of gore like there was with other games (Mortal Kombat), and instead gamers and critics were unified in their praise of the game's excellent and unique gameplay and experience.
Over all.....4.5 out of 5
Sound hows the sound you ask? Great the music for each stage is good and even the voice acting in the cut scences is nicely matched also having the cut scences in anime was a great idea seeing Bass and Megaman duke it out in anime is really great to see it really makes the carnival level more fun when you have carnival music as your background all also when you're going through a labyrinth in Astromans stage the music really sets the mood for how strange the level is these are just some examples as all the music really does a good job of setting the mood for fun
The best thing about this game is that you have to unlock half the things yourself. You have to unlock characters and levels. It is fun, especially since the single-player is great fun.
815 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 was a good purchase don't get me wrong. but i had a minor problem with it saving. at first it wouldnt save for the first 3 or 4 times. but eventually it did. other than that it worked great. awesome condition. came as described.
3493 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ah man. I love the dreamcast so much and every time I play the one I have I almost start to cry because I can remember me and my friend's used to play this over and over again. Like my title says, this console will and always be truly missed. The Dreamcast has had a wide variety of the most funnest games ever and the most memorable ones too. My childhood will rest along with the most classic gaming machine on the face of this earth.
8677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow, the game that introduced me to Sega! Great graphics, sound, and controls uphold a classic 2D game. Gave Nintendo a run for their money back then....kinda. Love the Genesis!!!!!
5817 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Pharaoh is very similar to its predecessor, Caesar 3. While Caesar 3 is Roman style, Pharaoh is in Egypt. Just as Caesar 3, Pharaoh is the game for fans of any Simulation game. As the location of this game is mainly on desert, you have to deal with small "green" area where you can put well on it to distribute the water to your citizens. One source for the food is the ostriches that are located in certain area on your map. Therefore, building your city needs a good plan to make sure your citizens are not short of food and water. I really like this game, and you may too! I was playing this game for months a few years ago and now I miss this game and want to play another mission. :D
Overall, I'm very, very happy to have this game again.
Naturally, nightmare and hell difficulties also have some "other" features that make them harder than normal. First, in nightmare, your resistances drop to -20. In Hell, they drop to -50.
5214 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a decent game. Probably one of the first of its kind, so that gets it major points. It's a little on the short side (5 hours total if you watch all the cinematics and take your time) and the difficulty takes dramatic leaps and falls throughout the game, making adaptation difficult. The graphics are absolutely horrible, but maybe i'm just spoiled by my ps2. The voice quality isn't bad for a game as old as this one and the moves and strategy you can use are all immensely helpful (as opposed to some games that give you neat moves that have absolutely no application in the game). Very original.
of an arcade game I've seen. Everything from the graphics
Unless you have a LAN at home and know someone who wants to try this gem of a game out, the only place you'll be able to play is on Gamespy and Internet Gaming Zone, but expect games to be *very* long and drawn out, sometimes lasting as much as a week, depending upon how often you have to save and reload.
Perfect atmosphere.
* When you design a roller coaster, you can then test it and you can find out it's average/max speed, and it's excitement, intensity and nausea ratings.
Thank's to Amazon.com for posting this review and YOU for reading it!
6972 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fighting games were scarce on the 64, but MK TRILOGY was a really good one for it. It took all characters from all 4 MK's (Mortal Kombat, MK II, Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3) and also made some of the bosses playable characters like Goro and Kintaro. More or less, all of the characters that have been in the game this whole time (ex Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Scorpion and Sub Zero) were the Ultimate Mortal Kombat versions.
It is, more or less, like the first part. There is aku-aku, boxes to crash, gems (more difficult), new bosses after each floor. And by the by, this game is divided into 5 floors, each floor with 5 doors, each door with a different adventure. You can finish the game, like I did the first time, without collecting gems, but it is not that fun. Hint: If you break all the boxes of one level you are rewarded a gem. There are hidden levels for some gems, you would have to consult the internet for it. Good luck in that.
If that PS could talk it'd say, "Oh lord... please... help me!" :(...
as this DEFINATELY does not match up with final fantasy VI, it rivals with the second best RPG ever made: Final Fantasy II. considering that FFII had more challenge to it, but FFVII had a much better story, they both beat each other up pretty badly.
6387 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Finally I found a 3D commando soldier simulation with an interface that can be mastered in 2 minutes without sacrifizing realism.
- Flashy super moves
The game's Job System is unbelievably usable and flexible. the combinations you can create with this system are almost limitless, considering you have 5 ability slots, and each one is designated for a different ability type (attack, movement, secondary attack, battle support, and reaction abilities.).
The weapons are superb.

3347 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blitz 2000 is simply put- a great game. The graphics are awesome, the sound is awesome and the gameplay rocks. You can choose to play on any team in the NFL today and can chosse a season mode, a tournament mode, or an arcade mode. Be aware that some rosters are incorrect (for example- Dan Marino is QB for the Dolphins); but the game must have been made before his retirement.
Clear Orange (Daiei, Japan, 1999)
3851 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Dynamite Cop is short but its FUN. Its even more of a blast with a friend or sibling. The graphics are good for this type of game and the sound is also cool. The choice of characters is decent (5 to be exact) and the action is fast and furious. The game has only 2 downfalls 1) Its short and 2) Basically easy. An option to adjust difficulty settings would have been fun.
The characters are great.
Anyway.....
The materia system lets you customize your spells. If you want a mage, you load him with spells, his HP decreases, and his MP increases. It's a good idea to change his "row", making him stand further away from the enemy, thus killing your melee damage, but protecting you from melee damage. The game doesn't handhold; it lets you figure out the finer points of the materia system. I liked how FF6 let your characters permanently learn spells, but FF7 are tied to materia. It's not a bad system, but considering the game is 60 hours long, you might master it before then and get bored.
Coming from that stubborn mold, I didn't give the game an objective eye and realized years later that I initally rejected it under a false pretense. Is it my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time? Well, no, but I am giving it its credit now, and there are many aspects of the game that help make it the top-selling Final Fantasy game.
825 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Banjo Kazooie is undoubtedly one of the most greatest Action-Adventure Platform video games of all time! Please don't stop selling N64 games like this, and others. This game reminds me of when I was only a toddler, now a teenager, I LOVE IT MORE! Banjo Kazooie has NOSTALGIA written all over it! Keep it coming ya'll! Glad that the majority of N64 games are all CLEAN! No Bloodshed and gore. THX!
Here are the Tomb Raider series in a list of my favorites:
Flaws: the first and most serious flaw in the game is that the areas on the map aren't labeled, this is idiotic, it means that when you find clues with room specific information then, unless you have a great memory, you won't know where to look. Another problem is that sometimes important objects in the environment will blend in with the background and look unimportant, there is a key slot that would have taken me hours to find if I didn't get annoyed and look at a game walkthough. Sometimes the camera angles can hide important objects too. There is also a problem with damage detection and hit point arithmetic: a raptor won't take damage during some parts of it's animation, and if you get in some shot gun blasts then switch to the hand gun sometimes it won't count the damage done with the shotgun, both of these issues waste bullets. You can't group items how you want, sometimes you'll want to upgrade just one item but are forced to waste two others because of auto grouping. The select sound effect gets annoying considering how often you have to go to your inventory. The save system is slow and annoying. The pace of the game gets stalled from puzzles sometimes, you'll be running for your life but then have to stop and do a puzzle, and I never figured out the rules of the crane puzzle it just felt like trial and error.
1. The buttons are limited. I know that the Genesis has three main buttons other than start, but a standard fighting game has six buttons (HK, MK, LK, HP, MP, LP), not three!! I don't know if this game is programmed for Genesis' new six button controller, but in order to use punch and kick buttons, you have to switch it up by pressing start, but that sucks the fun out of the game when you are trying to use a combination of moves to make it possible to defeat your opponent.
+Tons and tons of optional things to do
I'm also not kidding when I call this game a "scare". "Resident Evil 2" will have you on the edge of your seat, and it may even have you wetting your trousers a bit at certain times.
I remember playing Dig Dug on an old computer in my Support home work class back in Junior High in NYC, and today its still a collectors and a classic.
This was one of the first Nintendo games to include 4 player multiplayer and boy did people love this! Basically this game is like a board game, you start off with 10 coins and you roll a dice to determine where you go depending on the spaces you land on you can have fortunate things happen to you, unfortunate things, or you can end up gaining or losing coins. At the end of each turn the 4 players compete in a mini-game where the winner has a chance to win 10 coins. You want coins so you can have enough to buy a Star from Toad or maybe even have Boo steal one for you. When you've made a whole lap around the board depending on the time of the game Koopa Troopa will give you neither 10 or 20 coins. After 20-50 turns when the game ends youhave a chance to win bonus stars, the person with the most stars after that wins! The gameplay is a lot of fun whether you are playing alone or with friends. 9/10
Diablo 2 can be fun and playable in its own way, but compared to Diablo 1, it's just horrible. There were too many bad ideas, and too many good ideas that were badly implemented. Don't play this game unless you've gotten bored with Diablo 1.
Being a theif you rely on darkness, hence a visiblity gauge. If it is bright then you are in to much light. Theif also has a sound gauge. If your walking to fast or on noisy floors like metal grating, tiles or gravel, the noise will be much greater.
It's interesting to point out how portions of the level designs were reused for next year's (1995's) Super Nintendo/Super Famicom games Dracula X and XX, respectively. That tells us its designers were strangely attracted to some points of their bizzare little creation.
For the fifth boss the frog instead of making the frogg bigger the evil Koopa that captured baby Lugi and failed to get mario shrinky uo the frog swallows you. You must go inside while doggin the dijest juice hit the gage relexflex with six jumbo size eggs it will flash when hit the boss is defeated you are pulled down the and come out of his but. You will grow to your original size and the frog will be standing there back side up like a beached turtle. Got to go sending the next boss which I think is the enlarge Pirahan plant later. Total damage resitance 1/6 for the frog not sure for the egg yoke boss was done to quickly. This game is slowed down in parts and saving is done more than usually due to reduce speed and auto or save more often emulator code. About 35 minutes into the video minus about 17 to 45 seconds of rewatching.
We've had a Playstation since it first came out, and for racing and sports games it is incredible. We find we use the N64 far more often when kids are around wanting to play something.
9112 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Putting holes in junkies while you fly through the air in slow motion...Need I say more!? A great game! Very fun!
Don't miss out on the experience that is Final Fantasy 7!!!
8255 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this game a long time ago when it first came out. I wish I would have rented it first but I bought it anyway because it had Spiderman and the X-Men in it. I have to say this game is just weak in all aspects of the game. The levels are boring and unimaginative and the characters and bosses are dull. I DON'T recommend this game at all.
5450 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Basically, this is all the mortal kombats before it without the story lines. They have every single character. Noob Saibot is definately my favorite. You can also choose all the bosses from the beginning of the game. You can choose MK1 Kano and Raiden, or MK2 Kung Lao or Jax. This game is pretty tough. Especially when you fight Shao Kahn. But, he can be defeated. I have only beat him a couple of times. Just the amount of content in the game is amazing. The graphics are superb. There is some slowdown, but mainly at the end of an 8 player tournament or when Shang Stung transforms. Overall one of my favorite games.
4957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is addictive, and fun as hell to play! THQ and JAKKS pulled out all stops when Wrestlmania was released! Create and bet WWF championship belts with your friends. Tons of game modes, including cage match, road to Wrestlemania, Create-A-PPV, Royal Rumble, Triple Threat, Hardcore, First Blood Matches, Lumber Jack Matches, Singles, Tag Team,etc. Create-A-Wrestler with custom moves, Costumes, and fighting styles. WWF entrances complete with Titantron and theme music, thousands of singnature moves, taunts and mannerisms. Over 50 of the top WWF superstars, and much much more!
1985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Finer words have never been spoken. StarFox 64 was the long awaited American sequel to the original StarFox for the SNES (Japan got StarFox 2 on SNES while us Americans had to wait for StarFox 64). Excellent game, superb 3D graphics and for the love of Michael Douglas, play with the RUMBLE PACK!

7891 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the original Mortal Kombat, what else is there to say? This game is awesome. Brings back fond memories of my childhood.
Controls: They work pretty good. No complaints.
3726 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the sonic boom fire and ice video game for the nintendo 3ds is the greatest video game in the universe a true classic the best of the best the sonic boom fire and ice video game for the nintendo 3ds rocks ^_^
I like this game alot and if you're a X-Men fan who doesn't have it, get it! Thats all I have to say. Please ignore the sequel (sort of), Marvel: War of the Gems due to its simular, but slow and crappy gameplay.
5870 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works like a champ for my GBP (Game Boy Pocket) even tho I was expecting a purple clear one, a black one works just fine, doesnt fall out or shut off my GBP when I move!
Overall, one of the best games ever. You are without excuse to not own this game. Even non-RTS fans will enjoy it.
7706 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A Link to the Past arguably is the best Zelda game of all time. This game brings back fond memories, my brother
9338 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is good in capturing the shows feel. It's sick, twisted, and still, fun. When your Gwar tickets get eaten, puked back up, and sent through a lawnmower you got to track down each piece. In doing so you explore the town that Beavis and Butthead lives in and interact with many familure faces if you watch the show. Fun, yet, hard game to beat. Love it none the less, worth the buy no matter if you're pro-Beavis and Butthead or not.
2446 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It brought back memories of how characters are played and how to avoid certain obstacles from certain number of stages.
9545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fast shipping, product as described.....thank you
- Created wrestlers cannot have there moves chosen individually. You have to select a pre programmed set of moves from one of the existing wrestlers in the game. And you cant even select a different finishing move which is stupid because it shows an option to change it but if you change it to say the Jacknife Powerbomb then it will change the previous move list to that of Kevin Nash.
Overall
3090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...Dont pay attention to him...
-Great voice acting and music
The gameplay is also great. You may pick one of 8 characters to race with. On a small go - cart, you must race on one of the 16 courses and try to get in first. There are many modes. You can race with a group of 8 racers in a grand prix mode, where you may race a total of 4 races and accumulate points. A vs. mode race will put you against a friend or 2 (or 3) in a single race. There is also a battle mode, which will put you against 1 to 3 other players where the last one alive wins.
Sound original? Sorry, but if it's originality that you want, you won't find it here. Even the battle system is painfully unoriginal. As you play it, it will feel like you have played something else exactly like it. The story, the battle system, everything feels like it was used many times before, and i hate to say this, but the ending is very disappointing.
7481 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It worked pretty well indeed! Please keep this up with up your products and future products and please continue to look for ways to improve on delivery
6258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic system

5951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A while back, I did a review of this game. I said it had nothing to do with an RPG, and it was basically killing everything with no plot development. Than, I realized the brillance of this game, and it was wrapped up in one word.
Later, Donkey Kong Jr. comes into the scene and helps out his daddy.
1058 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got this game in '97 and it is still fun to play. Unlike the original Mario Kart for the SNES or the new Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA (both of these games you have to use a control pad to drive)you can use the control stick on the N64 controller ot drive your go-kart which is a hundred times easier than a control pad. The game is easy in the begining, but it hets much harder as you get closer to finishing it. The graphics are spectacular, and so is the music. In one course you can go off roading and drive around and look at Princess Toadstool's castle form Super Mario 64! The tracks are cleverly designed and all to often you'll find yourselft barely winning or completing a race. The game does offer a good challenge with eight drivers to choose from which onclude the following and their speed: Mario average, Luigi average, Peach average, Toad fast, Yoshi fast, Donkey Kong slow, Wario slow, Bowser slow. The speeds come to play in the later levels where only Toad and Yoshi are your best bet for first place. Again with the GBA and the Gamecube (which launched today as I am writing this) Mario Kart 64 is a must have for N64 owners who can't get the Gamecube or the GBA for now. Also each character has his or her own course and the game has race and battle multiplayer modes where in the battle mode each racer has three balloons arround his or her go-kart and everyone has to try to knock out everyones balloons. Have fun!
3233 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been a fan of fighters for some time now, old and new and one seems to stand out. Soul Calibur is the fastest, strongest, and most entertaining of all. It's got everything a fighter should have with no hang ups at all. A large selection of characters (loads of unlockable ones as well), Number of stunning arenas, and multiple modes of game play that will never get boring. I reccomend this title to any gamer no matter what you like. Can't go wrong. The best fighter to date, Weapons down.
3795 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This works great on the dreamcast and I was really stoked but I also ordered a av cable from the same place I bought this item and their av cable for the dreamcast does not work for my HD TV. But other than that the AC cable worked excellent with my dreamcast and gave it some life ^^
- Arguably Best story in a video game
game to be bearable later on. The two upgrades are the tempered and golden swords, and the golden sword is necessary to be able to
The only downside to this game is the system requirements. You have to have a very sweet computer to run this game. I have a P III 750 mhz with 128 megs of RAM and a Voodoo 3 and there were still a few instances when the game action got very sluggish. Anyone with an older computer should probably stay away from the game, unless you want to set the graphics detail to the lowest setting, but even then you'll probably run into problems. It's too bad, really, that the game is so demanding, since it could have been almost perfect if it weren't for the system requirements.
8452 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a game worthy of a five-star review. Released right around the time the video game world was going 32-bit by way of Playstation and Sega Saturn, the 16-bit days were all but over. Yet, Nintendo decided to end the 16-bit era with a bang by releasing this masterpiece, which I've always viewed as Nintendo's way of saying "Thanks" due to the uniqueness of this game and the almagamation of Nintendo characters. Let me try to explain this one out:
MUST MUST MUST BUY! That is if you like Castlevania games...
World 4: A landscape marked by sunset

9317 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have very fond memories of Panzer Dragoon. It was the first game I bought for my Sega Saturn back in May 1995, meaning it was my first taste of 32 bits. It was such a different time then, because the Sony Playstation hadn't been released yet, and the 16 bit systems were still reigning supreme (Chrono Trigger and Yoshi's Island hadn't even been released yet!) It was a true Clash of the Titans, Nintendo's SNES vs. Sega's Genesis. It was hard to declare a clear winner back then, so the idea of Sega dominating the 32 bit era didn't seem so absurd. I remember seeing a few tiny pics of Panzer Dragoon screens in magazine previews, and that was enough to get me interested, even though I couldn't really see what was going on. When I finally played it, I was completely blown away. Sega's Team Andromeda did an amazing job of creating a unique fantasy world. Well, sort of unique; it was heavily inspired by the manga/anime Nausicaa. As for the game itself, it's a 3D on-rails shooter. It followed in the footsteps of Space Harrier, and Star Fox. The bulk of the simple game play was controlling a cross-hairs and locking onto targets with guided lasers. One feature that was new at the time was the 360' view control. Enemies could attack from any direction, so you had to be quick with the L and R shoulder buttons, swinging the camera around to target whoever the incoming fire is coming from. Another thing that set Panzer Dragoon apart from other shooters was the presentation. It opened with a beautiful cinema, setting the stage for a war and showing just how you come to possess a flying dragon as your steed. It had its own fictitious language, increasing the player immersion. It was a true masterpiece. About a year later, the sequel was released, Panzer Dragoon Zwei. It stayed true to the original, but threw in some new elements and improvements as well. Unfortunately, by the time the third game in the series (Panzer Dragoon Saga) was completed in 1997, the Saturn was already all but dead in the US. The Sony Playstation, which was initially met with a great amount of suspicion and distaste from the gaming community, had become the most successful game console in history and absolutely crushed its competition. Panzer Dragoon Saga came very close to not being released in the US at all, but in the end SEGA saw fit to produce a severely limited run of 6000 copies. It was extremely hard to find. Those who did find it were treated to one of the most enjoyable and unique RPGs ever made. After PDS was released, members Team Andromeda declared that the Panzer Dragoon trilogy was complete, and they disbanded. They went on to work on other projects. One of them was Omega Boost, a 3D shooter for the Playstation that plays almost identically to Panzer Dragoon. [EDIT: Since writing this review I've been told that no one from Team Andromeda worked on Omega Boost] And now, a Playstation 2 game called Rez is on the near horizon. Supposedly there are no less than seven former TA members on the Rez staff, and would you believe it, it too looks to play much like the Panzer Dragoon shooters. Finally, oddly enough, a fourth Panzer Dragoon is on the way to the Xbox. I would have loved another RPG in the series, but apparently this too will be another shooter. Oh well, good enough.
The sound isn't bad. The main music in battles against monsters (which can happen in between towns on the map) is OK, but you might get sick of it after a while. But some of it is pretty good. Not great, but good. Just don't expect it to blow you away.
572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 no idea to say about that have same with twisted metal 2-4 and twisted metal small brawl I haven't play for long time
It's a great game to play with your friends and see who is the best Super Smash Bros. player there is. Whether your favorite player to choose from is Samus Aran or Fox McCloud, each player has his or her own special abilities that can help you and your character win the fight.
Probably the worst thing about Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is the fact that the game offers little in the way of challenge. That's not to say the game is a cakewalk, either. People who think Warped is an easy game are only comparing the challenge to the previous two Crash Bandicoot games. If you compare Warped to say, I don't know, Spyro the Dragon, it's not such an easy game then. It's definitely not a hard game either. You WILL beat it. I think the challange is comparable to Super Mario Bros. 1, the old NES classic.
3646 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 By now everyone is ravening about PSX2. Great graphics, built-in 56k modem and DVD!! Chances are you probably have a DVD already sitting in your stereo cabinet or it is in your desktop. Why pay the HIGH PRICE for something your already have. Besides the DVD, Dreamcast is no different than the PSX2. The graphics are the same, all the games are played the same, DC has a built-in 56k. The only differences are the price. Think about.
All in all, "Golden Eye" is undoubtedly a classic of modern gaming. While the N64 is arguably one of the worst Nintendo consoles to be released (alongside the horrendous Virtua Boy), it still had some incredible games that managed to sustain it until the Gamecube was announced. "Golden Eye" is not only the game that many FPS fans point to as their favorite game, but many non-FPS gamers also found it very enjoyable. While later great first-person shooters like the N64's "Perfect Dark" and the recent X-Box million-seller "Halo" presented excellet FPS action with updated graphics to boot, "Golden Eye" will forever be remembered as the first-person shoot for the masses.
Hmmm... I wonder what the PSX2 remake, Wild ARMS: Alter Code F is going to be like?
Loads of play time and Arcade Mode is a blast
8167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gameplay
Innocent pedestrians, secret goodies, destorying the eiphel tower, while you find and destory these things you take on several different competitors out there and utilize their special attacks to YOUR advantage. ON single player this game is kinda tedious, but on 2p, HELLO FUN. I had a buddy who played this with me every time he came over to my house. We beat the game several times, but exploiting new characters attacks and finding more goodies as we traversed really ruled!
This game, from my experience a long time ago, was fun. The only minor problem is sometimes the lack of directions, camera angle can be changed but sometimes even with the change you don't exactly get just what you want still, and controlling is a little hard sometimes so jumping from one spot to another usually ends up in falling to your doom, but again not if you get use to it. Same for walking on ledges.
4534 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Ok so i get the idea that you are a glove rolling on a ball. Hmmmm. Ok well here goes. If you liked this game, you are an IDIOT! HELLO GUYS YOU ARE A GLOVE! WHAT THE HECK IVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN IDIOTIC CHARACTER! A GLOVE! FOR GOODNESS SAKES, IVE HEARD THAT ORIGINALITY IS GOOD, BUT THIS? ok i will stop yelling. But jeeze guys cant you see that only some kind of fool would actually enjoy playing as a glove that can balance on a ball? Well I can. So I'm out, enough said.
The music is great. From what I understand, it's a distinct departure from the earlier games, but I haven't played them. There are a few mediocre pieces, such as Honeybee Manor, but the truly excellent pieces, such as the Turks' Theme, Nightmare's Beginning (Vincent's Theme), and One-Winged Angel (final battle music), more than make up for them, and there are no truly annoying God-don't-play-this-song-again pieces in it.
In conclusion Medal of Honor is one of Playstation's best titles out there to date, and it is very well the best 1st person on the market. Mixing, the story of Saving Private Ryan, and the action of GoldenEye, Medal of Honor is truly one of the years best games ever. Even if you are not a fan of 1st person shooters, I still highly suggest buying Medal of Honor.

Nintendo 64 -
9590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is quite possibly the best video game ever conceived. You have to keep an open mind of course in terms of the graphics, but that shouldn't matter if you really like a good video game with a great story line and excellent fighting/fun. If you have a Playstation 1 or 2 I suggest you buy this game immediately, you would be surprised at how much fun it is.
Graphics: ***** (You can view on a big resolution, better textures and stuff. More crisp than the PSone version)
1357 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For those of you who haven't played Super Mario 64, I would like to say on behave of all of us that have, "your truly missing out!" Super Mario 64 was the very first video game I ever played on my Nintendo 64, so my review could be a little biased, but I just recently replayed the game from start to finish and it still has not lost its touch. It's a game for people that love adventures, puzzles, shooting, and the occasional flying. It never seizes to get old and the graphics are as good as they can get for the Nintendo 64.
Gameplay (9/10) - The single greatest addition to the gameplay was the ability to use the analog pad on the Dualshock controller. That alone makes the game control much smoother. Other than that, the game plays just as good as the first.
2433 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works
Then I saw all the positive reviews ("best game ever"), so I decided to give FF7 a second playing in 2004, to impress me. But I still did not like it. IMHO the major flaw is that FF7 has too many "dry" sections where you fight-fight-fight and almost nothing happens storywise (example - climbing the 100-floor building of your enemy -or- the dumb section where you waste an hour finding a dress). In some sections, literally hours pass by with no story... it feels like a step backwards to the near-nonexistent stories of the original nintendo.
1795 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 On hog ride. People has misplaced faces and they look like they took drugs. This game sucked. :) Sonic is better!!!
what does make the game worth playing is the multi player modes, although the graphics take another turn for the worse they are acceptable in 2 player but with 4 you cant see anything at all without a massive tv. the multi modes make pd, beating the hell out of simulants in slow motion can be fun and sure beats the game. this is what you should be buying the game for, not for the story mode. the trouble with this is that the pd arenas are poor and its only the graphically altered goldeneye levels that are worth playing. a bit lazy on the developers part.
I originally reviewed this game in the year 2000. Eight years have passed, and I still enjoy going back and playing this game. This level of staying power is rare. Here are some of my more recent observations that I have made since my original review at the age of 15:
4378 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a really fun game to me. I enjoy challenges and puzzles and this game offers many of each. They got the sarcastic one liners of Indy down pretty well, though it would have been a lot cooler if Harrison Ford voiced it. The game has an intriguing story, though somewhat far fetched, but its a game. The graphics were a bit on the mediocre side for the requirements, but it didn't take away from the game play. The controls are good, but I find sometimes they don't respond like they should. My only real complaint is how linear the game is. There is only one way to go and that doesn't make the puzzle solving the most fun sometimes. Good game overall.
Many small enemies have been created for the game. Your majority of attackers though are from the television series and comic books. Those would be the Foot Soldiers and the Mousers. Most can be defeated with one hit so the challenge should not be too difficult. The whole game takes place while you progress to the right. Graphics look really good. Level backgrounds are detailed enough to give you an impression of where you are. Characters all look like themselves. The turtles can only be identified form each other by their weapons. Sounds are okay but all of your attacks sound the same. You can't hear a difference between a katana blade and a bo staff. If you are a fan of the turtles then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan should not disappoint you. For those who don't care for the turtles then this game doesn't offer anyhting you can't find somewhere else. As far as action games go this one is not too different from the majority.
3490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're a fan of 2D fighter games it's here on the Dreamcast. Capcom vs SNK 1-2 import, Vampire Hunter Chonicles import, King of Fighters 99-02 import, Marvel vs Capcom 1-2. Jo Jo Bizarre Adventure, Street fighter 3 Collection, Samurai Blade 2, Mark of the Wolves, Sega Ages Volume 1. And Sega Saturn have tons of 2D fighters and shooters a lot are import so get the dreamcast and saturn to complete your 2D library.
8202 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 the game came in and had another persons name in white out on it and didn't even work. waist of my cash.
While short, it is high quality. I dropped a star for length (it could easily have had a few bonus boards), but otherwise this is one of the better tactics games I've played. The blood gusher from a defeated enemy earns the mature rating, and is sometimes very satisfying. While I wouldn't pay more than $30 for it (length is 20 hours tops), I do recommend it.
This game got a lot of publicity during its arrival and rightfully so. A magnificent piece of not only gaming, but art. Every RPG made after FF7 is based on what this game revolutionized. RPG before this were all 2D and pretty much cookie cutter RPG. This game literally changed RPG into what it is now, I hope those who recently bought this game at least attempt to finish it to gain the games' beauty as a whole. Those who had this game from the beginning already know that Final Fantasy VII is not only a great game, but arguably PSX best of all time. A milestone, period.
You have to buy it, and trust me you'll love it!
581 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is not receiving the credit it deserves. It's a good quality game. I had a blast playing it. Far more than i did with Twisted Metal 1 and 2. The whole series is awesome and, to me, theres not a bad twisted metal game.
9230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game works great and it is the best prehistoric fighting game I have ever played it even has gruesome fatalities just like Mortal Kombat
4739 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Symphony is just a terrific game. It leaves anything before it, and many knock offs after it in the dirt. Alucard is not a whip slinging goof, not that the first two Castelvania games were bad in any respect. This just turns everything up several notches. A huge amount of items, armor, and weapons to use. Including some upgrades favorites (The Axe, Holy Water, Boomerang) New stuff like familliars (Little critters who have special powers, and will be a huge help to Alucard), an RPG level Up system, so you are able to take on the nasty beast that Dracula throws at you. I have played this for years! And will continue to do so, huge amount of replay value just because of how beautiful it is. Just go get it, oh and a strategy guide or you'll be up poop creek.
Other areas that are very well covered by the DC are sports, with the famed Sega Sports series, and "offbeat" games, such as Rez, Space Channel 5 and the 3D version of Q*Bert. There are also a number of kids games, probably more so than on the PS2.
6160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game console good condition ! Thank you !
3150 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've played Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 and I have to say 7 is the best. Every part of this game is perfect. Sure, the characters aren't highly detailed but for the time when this game was made they're perfect. You find yourself falling in love with these super deformed people. Especially Cloud who is the best main character in all of the Final Fantasy games. The story line is very involving. People wouldn't play this game for 60-80 hours if the story wasn't good. It's almost disappointing that they didn't base the Final Fantasy movie on this game but...if they did that you'd already know the ending. This game is a masterpiece. I wouldn't change one thing about this game. I love it!
Secondary Weapon fire: I don't think there has been a console FPS since that hasn't had a secondary weapons fire.
8734 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the greatest games on earth! I got it for a penny and would gladly buy it again!
8812 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 worked great.
The only cons I can really say about this game are that the creators didn't include enough of our beloved Nintendo characters. Even though they had most of them, I would have enjoyed seeing just a few more of my favorite Nintendo characters battle to the death!
1) Gameplay: Perhaps the best I have EVER played. In this world of the future, humans (Terran) have changed, and become one large army: the Confederacy. They are able to explore space, have an incredible array of weapons, and have explored much of the universe. But on these trips to different planets and such, they discover they are not alone in this universe. 2 other dominant races exist out in space, and both of them threaten the Terran world as we know it. It's time for war, and thats where the game begins.

The music is INCREDIBLE. You'll never forget that classic dungeon theme, or Adlehyde town and castle, or perhaps Port Timney. . . I could go on for a while. Some unforgettable stuff. You'd recognize it years later.
Buy if,
2155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product. I bought this over 8 years ago I believe. I forgot why I bought it, but whatever the reason was it worked.
1071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game when it first came out which was a couple years ago, but I'm just now writing the review, strange isn't it? This game is what makes having an N64 so great! The graphics are just sweet. The story pretty much follows the movie, and alters a little things to make it more enjoyable for us gamers. This game is very easy to control. That's one of the best things about it. The controls are placed if logical places, and it's better than the Turok controls. The best part of this game is the multiplayer. It's what made the game so famous. Killing your friends has never been this much fun. I'll never get tired of one of my friends walking in a hallway, unsuspecting that a proximity mine is waiting there to take his digital life. The best multiplayer level has got to be the facility. But I'll let you, the buyer, decide for yourself. Another game I recommend, and that's probebly better is Perfect Dark.
6844 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Easily the best Turtles platformer that was released in this era. The second and third entries in the series on GB are also very good, but this to me is the one that has it all. Proper villains, enemies that (mostly) make sense, obstacles that can be challenging at first but not frustratingly so.
1264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has all the violence and language of the current popular Grand Theft Auto games packing into a convenient 2D package! :)
The puzzles require a lot of time and thought. If you don't like puzzles and thinking, don't play this game. If you like challenges, Myst will challenge you. The puzzles often require you to make connections between separate pieces of information or view your environment in a new way. Some are frustrating and I did need to look at a hint guide a few times (particularly for the Mechanical Age elevator) but they all do have a logic.
5105 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Heroes of Might and Magic III is the best Heroes game yet! #1 was okay, but it lacked upgrades, and #2 was great, but this leaves it way behind. With eight castle types, each with fourteen different creatures (seven normal and seven upgraded), sixteen types of heroes (two from each town), and three sides (good, evil, neutral), you'll have hours of strategic fun. The battle engine remains the same, where you and the army you form attacks other armies, towns, or just wandering monsters, in a turn-based fight. Now, though, certain soldiers have special powers over others. For example, Angels and Devils have hatred toward each other, so when one attacks the other, they inflict almost triple damage! Other hatreds include Giants/Titans and Red/Black Dragons, and Genies/Master Genies and Efreeti/Efreeti Sultans. The way you form armies is you build your towns, and you recruit creatures from their dwellings (Note: not all creatures are generated from towns, some you must find elsewhere). You build your town by finding resources and gold, then buying structures. You can recruit many different kinds of soldiers for your army, including Dragons, Giants, Griffins, Minotaurs, Vampires, Cyclopes, and Hydras! Some of the ways to play are 1) doing a normal stand-alone mission where you are given objectives, 2) doing a campaign, where you do many missions that tell a story, 3) creating your own mission in the map generator (a very cool touch), or 4) playing either 1 or 3 in multiplayer mode. The depth, graphics, and fun of this game are endless.
That and this game was way too easy. There was no true challenge (with the exception of the hospital board) but other than that, very simple game and for a lot of the more advanced gamers, this wasn't even a walk in the park. It was more like taking a nap on a Sunday afternoon.
6381 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Get it through your head THIS GAME stinks First of all the graphics suck,boring gameplay(I usually like realistic military games), coudn't acess campaign, takes forever to install. I would give this game 0 stars. I just bought it about 1 hour ago played it for 15 min. and then got bored... Try the Unreal series , half life or rainbow 6
7050 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is so stupid, i don't understand why people like it. There is no real fun in it. For one thing you can't jump/ wich is dumb. and the attack moves are really duel. it sucks! do not buy this game.
Life is grand. just because these did not exist when we were kids, does not mean that we can not enjoy them. I feel sorry for the fuddy-duddies who look on at me with disgust - well...actually, just one person - who thinks that I am wasting my time! If so, it is mine to waste. If you live as long as I have, you know what car repairs cost, what food costs, where things are heading in this country and in the world. It is lovely to just stop time for a while, and play a Wario Land game where the character never dies!
You are also given quests to find objects in the tower, as well as the opportunity to build up and improve almost every building in your village. Perhaps the best, and most amusing part, is how several women vie for your attentions, and you have to find the particular way to make them fall for you.

2014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great.
Team Chaotix: the members of this group include Espio the Chameleon, Charmy the Bee, and Vector the Crocodile (who is apparently "The Head Honcho"). This team's adventures have been dubbed "dubious". The difficulty, in my opinion, varies from easy to hard. If you like detectives, mystery, and treasure hunting, this team is for you. Most of their missions consist of finding a certain amount of something (five keys for example). Not all of them, but most of them. My last comment on them is: this is easily the most comical team in the game. I have been set off laughing by a comment from these dudes several times. You should have fun with them.
Long story short: this is the most memorable Civilization game, and probably even strategy game altogether, I have ever played. Definitely worth a look if you can find it for a decent price.
You just wan't to use a Gameboy Advance SP (which is fair)
This game is the Super Mario World of Game Boy games, and that's saying a lot. The main gameplay is what you would normally expect. You can run, jump, stomp enemies, bash blocks, and spin jump your way through about 25 nicely detailed levels. The main power-ups are, as you expect, the Mushroom and the Fire Flower. Yes, that's right. The SuperBall flower that was in the first game got replaced by the return of the Fire Flower. Not only that, but there's also the Bunny Hat, which allows Mario to float in the air for a short period of time, similar to the Super Leaf in Super Mario Bros 3. But here, you can float longer than in Mario 3.

2869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Duke Nukem 64 is a very well made game, despite the fact that some people only know it for its controversial material [most of it removed for the N64 version] and its cheesy one-liners. It turns out that this game is much more than that.
8105 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game was a real let-down for me. I really dislike the 3rd person camera. And it takes me forever to aim. I own all duke nukem games and this is the worst. Look for something else.
In each mission based level, you must accomplish a variety of objectives, and eliminate a tough boss at different intervals. You will use stealth at times, or just face enemies head on. The interesting part about this game is that it really draws you in, and takes some interesting twists and turns as it progresses.
The single player mode has a great story and keeps you motivated while playing through it. The graphics and sounds are great. The enemies are smarter than in Goldeneye and depending on the level of difficulty will bring the fight to you. The music sets the mood and keeps you going as you shoot the enemies. The 2 player cooperative mode has you taking on the enemies with a friend and with the split screen you can take out objectives together or opt to pick out which objectives you and your friend to do and meet with them somewhere else in the stage. It works very well. The 2 player counter-operative mode puts a twist on the 2 player coop mode: the first player takes control of Joanna while the second player takes control of an enemy walking around in the stage you choose to play. The 2nd player must take out the 1st player by any means necessary. If the first player eliminates the second player, then the second player assumes control of another enemy in that same stage and tries to eliminate the first player etc. etc.
But if all this is so, why does this system deserve five stars? Why is it one of my favorite game systems? Why do I play it more than my PS2? Because for everything that Sega did wrong, they did so much right. Take controller ports. The system supports FOUR! That means that the PS2 version of Tennis 2K2 supports two players, while the Dreamast version supports four! But the real kicker is...
1: You can't save your game, once you start you have to play all the way through but you can gain access to the other chapters but selecting harder difficulty setting.
In Diddy Kong Racing, 8 characters including Diddy Kong, band together to stop Wizpig, the main villain, from taking over their world by beating him at his own game: racing. You start out driving a kart and get to explore the huge over world with 4 different sections representing different areas. Your goal is to win balloons to unlock all of the areas. Each area has 4 stages to race through and when you come in first place, you earn a balloon. After you beat all 4 stages in an area, you unlock a race with the boss of the area. Beat the boss and you move on to the other areas to repeat the same process. Earn a certain amount of balloons to unlock Wizpig's area where you ultimately race against him to beat him and win the game. As you complete each stage, it becomes available for time trail and multi-player modes.
If you think the price is good for an 8mb memory card, then by all means, go ahead. Although the card and the packaging are both labeled as 128mb, unless you are more fortunate than I, you will find yourself with no more than 8mb when you insert it into the PS2. Funny that the guys at the local game store had never even heard of a 128mb card for PS2.

3776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you own a Sega Dreamcast and do not own Sonic Adventure then your system is not complete. This game is truly amazing. It displays the power of the Dreamcast and delivers nothing but pure solid fun. It is unlike any of the older Sonic games (which by the way were pretty hard). Not only do you play as Sonic and other characters, but you get to play minigames and raise your own virtual pet. A must have for all Dreamcast owners.
great buy
Ever since the SADX Director's Cut version came out just 5 months after I got the original, I haven't been playing the Dreamcast version so much. But occasionaly I give it a spin for old times sake. Great game, but don't buy it if you already have SADX, unless you're a collecter I like I am, or was, seeing as the Sonic series is dead and has been dead since Sonic Heroes came out.
9130 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you've never played Max Payne before and you love first-person shooters then you owe it to yourself to buy this game. It's cheap now, so there's no reason not to own it before it's out of print.
There is also a sixth hidden floor. You would have to reach it by a trick, and again check the net for that.
3506 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 9/9/99 is a date that'll live on forever in the hearts and minds of gamers, as it gave birth to one of the greatest game consoles in existence. The Dreamcast not only paid homage to the past with its incredible library of arcade titles, but it was also a system that pushed the limits and was way ahead of its time. The Dreamcast offered crisp and amazing visuals, which are even more amazing through VGA. In addition to system's technical power, it also offered things like the VMU, online capabilities, etc. The Dreamcast was an absolute powerhouse. Sadly, despite its incredible launch and impressive short lifespan, the Dreamcast fell victim to the hype from the Playstation 2. Instead of buying the Dreamcast, many decided to hold off and pre-order the much anticipated Playstation 2. However, despite the Playstation 2's massive game library, I believe the Dreamcast is the vastly superior system.
I find it funny how most people think SoM>SoE, because in today's world people HATE JRPG's.
*NOTE: This part's an extremely important part--the game is glitchy. It would freeze randomly, forcing me to reset and start over. The cds themselves were in good condition with almost no scratches of any kind, and I've heard this same complaint before, which leads me to believe the glitches are a flaw of the game design. This is a huge turnoff--this added in extra frustration to an already boring game. This flaw knocks points off the score.
After about a 2 hour battle, and the winning team is crowned, they get up from their machines and have a briefing. This is my favorite part to watch due to sheer fascination. The begin by explaining to each other how they saw the battle progressing, what things worked for them and what didn't, and then how they are might try to avoid the same obstacles the next game.
So the player is Spyro the Dragon, helped along with the advice of ancestors. It is remarkable how noble these mentors are, their voices echoing their arcane wisdom unto their young.
The game play was just OFF THE HOOK. The game plays like doom but BETTER. The enemy A.I was good too....Not the best but good.
Any criticisms I have with this game? Well its hard for me to think of things I don't like about this game, I guess a minor criticism is that you cant skip the in game cut scenes, you couldn't do that in the first game and its a minor annoyance when you already played the game a million times like I did and just want to get through the game. The problem most people have with this game is the beginning. You start the game surrounded by about ten zombies with a slow handgun. The first time playing, you only have a few seconds to figure out the controls until the zombies corner and kill you. It definitely sounds like a terrible idea to start next to the zombies. My strategy is to just run away. Hold square, press up on the d-pad to run and use up-left and up-right to get around the enemies. Once you figure that out, it isn't too hard to get past the zombies and give yourself some breathing room. It did take me a while to figure out the controls but Ive mastered it and you can too. The voice acting in this game is much better than the first Resident Evil, but still nothing too special. Thats about all the criticisms I can think of.
9419 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 treasure the game deleloper behind obscure Jappenese titles like this one is all about 2d cartoon graphics. All of there games: radiant silvergun ssaturn, Mischief Makers N64, Silhoute Mariage PS and SSaturn, even a Ronald Mcdonald trippy game are sprites. be on the lookout for these games collectors and those in search of quality games. EGM aka electronic gaming monthly, has stated that a possible remake of the original or an entire new adventure (the treasure rep. was more akin to the later) is a strong possiblility for gba.

4747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quite frankly you are smoking rocks if this game doesn't become one of the most pleasantly infectious gaming memories of your life. I should really hate this game for the hundreds of hours it has managed to detract me from doing things society would label as "important". I love this game more than my mom and I've told that to her face. Even if you don't end up liking this game I believe everybody owes it to themselves to try it out.
You see children at one time there were these stores that rented movies and video games. But like the dinosaur they slowly died off and became extinct. I remember working at one of these stores. It sucked.
2225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Make sure you check to see you've got the RAM expansion in your N64. If you haven't, go ahead and order one. A lot of great games require it, like Perfect Dark and Donkey Kong 64. It isn't groundbreaking technology or anything, but it's one of those things like guns, condoms, first aid kits, or umbrellas - better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
1365 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the best mario games ever made, it was such a huge jump from the previous consoles looked and played amazingly, hours of entertainment for anyone that enjoys adventure type games.
Super Metroid forced you to go here and there without making it feel too much like you were actually forced to do something. Sure, there were a couple spots where you could repeatedly hit that morph bomb button to blast up to places you shouldn't be able to reach without other equipment, but overall it make you feel like you didn't have to go anywhere. The newer title unfortunately feels highly artificial. Maybe they needed less planning, and when you're locked into a Nav Room in Fusion there's no doubt that you'll be doing things in the correct order. The extra work put into Super Metroid certainly has paid off. The easily followed layout of Fusion works on a handheld, but on the Super NES (or the identical Super Famicom version) so much more is possible.

5758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a completely weird thing to say that the most polarizing Final Fantasy game in the entire series happens to be my favorite of them. I found VII great but kind of sluggishly-paced; ditto with IX which had attractive visuals, lovely music but a slow narrative at times. With VIII, the graphics got kicked up a notch, the FMV's became more cinematic and the storyline was more adult and sophisticated. However, some love it and many hated it and there's still people who outright despite this game. Sure it's got a few nagging problems but in my opinion, this was my favorite in the series to experience.

Get this game if you Love Killing Zombies. Get it if you love puzzles. Get it if you love guns. Get this game period.
7270 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I remember burrowing this from a friend because I ran out of N64 games to play so I burrowed this and some other games for a few days. I have to say it was fun at first, than it became frustrating, and than I felt like I was going to throw up because of the weird controls and this and that moving around in weird places which I didn't intended in doing. It was also because I was really young then and I really didn't know what the game was really about, which is puzzle solving sometimes.
755 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Lara Croft games have NEVER been any good. I remember when the very first one came out 10 years ago. Teens were practically DROOLING on their controller every time they saw Lara's pretty face. Tomb Raider must have been advertised like it was the most groundbreaking video game to ever hit the freakin' market. The thing is, the games are boring and Lara Croft isn't very pretty.
This game was originaly released in late 1996 and met with mixed reviews, most were to caught up in the phenomena known as Quake to pay it any mind but for those that did not, boy did they miss out. The graphics are superb for it's time, and the music is out of this world. The weapons are simple, real world weapons from the times of Jesse James and Billy the Kid. You can't shoot forever and you actually have to reload. This game takes skill and stealth. I have played through the single play mode countless times enjoying it more and more each time.
6550 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game contains two classic Final Fantasy games. Easy to play and a lot of fun also. See the games that led up to the current Final Fantasy series.
I do find it strange that they had problems with Yoshi (which for the record Miyamoto has said he wanted to put in the original 1985 SMB). After all, Hudson's Adventure Island series, the same company responsible for the abomination that is Super Mario Bros. Special, the first ever sequel to the Mario franchise, were able to get ridable dinasaurs, and the 1993 Capcom title Little Nemo Dream Master had ridable creatures too. Then again, Adventure Island II came out in April 1991, two and a half years after SMB3.
The difficulty is pretty leveled, except for the few continues. If you play this game enough you should be able to learn how to battle different enemies without taking too much damage. This is a must if you hope to beat the game.
To sum it up, buy Homeworld for its engrossing real-time-strategy matched to a vital and visually intense story, making this a gaming experience like none other.
The first thing that stands out are the graphics, the graphics for 1996 looked fantastic, they were even better than Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 which was released a month later. It definitely gets an A+ for presentation. The game was a huge hit and was the first non-Japanese game to achieve commercial success in the country. Now, lets discuss the actual gameplay.
3941 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sweet! I've been around since the original X-Wing, and I'm glad to see the advances! Remember the original floppy-disk X-Wing for MS-DOS? The ships were nothing more than a few single-colored polygons, and the HUD only showed a picture of the ship, not the actual moving ship. Plus, you had 3 ships, well, okay, 4 ships (after the B-wing expansion pack) to pick from. The dumb racing track took over ten minutes to go through one lap, and the missions were close to impossible! But we didn't mind because that was the best a computer could offer back then. Well, not we've got extremely detailed ships (with moving gun turrents...wow! :) ) with 3D accelerated graphics, over 15 ships (you use about 8 of them in the real game, many more in multiplayer) you can fly, and new-fangled light sources! Plus, you go into the Death Star on this one! It isn't like that two-colored gray surface from X-Wing! Now it's got 16 million colors! Unfortunately, some of the difficulty from X-Wing moved over to X-Wing Alliance. It's just a WEE bit hard. Some missions will have you laughing at the enemy, while others will make you slam your computer desk. Fortunately, you can put it on easy mode (can't do that in X-Wing!). Plus, some of the mission objects may seem a bit too much to handle. But I think this is only a minor problem. A few missions stand out...like one where you jump out of hyperspace directly in front of a Super Star Destroyer! (for the uninformed, a SSD is a BIG mutha ship that you shouldn't go NEAR...heck, it's so bad that you'll only see one in the whole game!) Overall, you'll find a great space combat game in this package. Go on...buy it!
Anyone who has played SimCity on any platform is in for a treat with this one. Pick up a copy today and relive a classic video game.
4706 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In one word - Wow! This game is simply one of the best adventures I've across. I've just finished playing the first two introductory chapters of Baldur's Gate, which is all that is available in my city. I'm in love with this game. This game provides the kind of classic adventuring experience I've always longed for in as many adventure games I've played so far. The wait ended with Baldur's Gate. Very many thanks to its developers.
The graphics are spectacular, nearly identical to the arcade. The sound is also good, except for the ridiculously silly sounding boss monsters (why do they sound like they have swallowed helium). The DC version also has great additional features: boss mode, puzzle levels and target practice.
They need a remake. ;]
8551 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes thats right. This game RULES. You are Mario, and at the beginning you have to save the princess (again). After that, a giant sword with a face crashes into bowsers castle, flinging Mario, Bowser, and the Princess all in different directions AND destroying the star road that connects the mushroom land to bowsers keep. So you gotta go find the 7 star pieces to the star road, and find out what that sword is (just play the game, lol) Bowser and the Princess joins your team later along with a few new friends: Mallow, and a doll that comes to life named Geno. As you play you come up with new spells, weapons, and sometimes you run into little games and puzzles.
174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As soon as I slipped this on my controller, I knew that I'd never take it off!! It makes the controller much more comfortable in your hands, and does not slip if you play for a long time and tend to get sweaty fingers!

8390 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've loved this game since the 90's
You'll need to select destinations for your mines, refineries, development labs, training facilities, etc so as to maximize output and grab the most out of them...
8747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let's see....I think it was the Christmas of 1992 when I first got the Genesis (when it came with Sonic 1 as a bonus pack deal). Let me tell you...this game brings back memories. The gorgeous level designs, the many diabotical machines from Dr. Robotnik (and to think Labyrinth Zone was the only one where you had to keep from being crushed from the bottom as he just moved up towards the top! Pretty clever.), and the MUSIC! Once I found out about the level code, I would spend hours in the Sound Test area just listening to the music. And I loved the special stages (actually when it was easy to get to just by collecting rings and before it went 3-D). Even though I didn't understand what happened at the end of the game after getting the emeralds (new flowers grow in Green Hill....ok?), I guess that was a way of showing peace was restored, though I wish there was more.
The story is quite linear with slight changes that occur depending on choices you make during dialogues with non-playable characters. During the game you'll be searching for clues, going to different locations on your PDA, interviewing people, checking items on your computer, with occasional shootouts thrown in for good measure. Some of the rooms are very dark and it's hard to know exactly what to click on to move the game forward. Thankfully, there's an "Artificial Intuition" option to help find difficult items throughout the game.

9406 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I do still have a Super Nintendo. I believe it was the best system of it's day, and I still enjoy playing games on it. The games, such as this one, are really good; even when compared to today's games. This game in particular brings back fond memories... I was first introduced to this game at a dentist's office (it was one of the games you could play in a small room while you waited for your turn). It was second only to a Sonic the Hedgehog game as my favorite game to play in there. My mom saw me playing it and thought that young Simba was so cute, she bought it for me. It's harder for younger kids than older kids, as it was more challenging for me back then then it is now. Still, I can remember when I first got past the "Hakuna Matatta" level, and Simba became an adult; it felt quite magical to control a young cub in the first several levels, and then see and control him as an adult in the rest. Beating the "Be Prepared" level, and defeating Scar were also proud accomplishments. The bonus levels were fun (my favorite being the Pumba one), and even when I did finish the game I played it over and over and over. I did, however, never leave the easy difficulty *blushes*. Still this is a wonderful game, with many pros and no cons I can think of. If your mom hasn't already gotten you this, and you still have a Super Nintendo, then you need to get this game for your collection.
3762 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not perfect by any means, but it has addicted me. Graphics are OK. Voice-overs are not the kind Blizzard has made us come to expect. Not the best story. But I am enjoying it- and for thirty bucks that says a lot.
9546 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gorgeous game , in wonderful condition, got here earlier than expected , so I've been playing it since it got here .
-The first is the standard 6-on-X turn-based battles that occur the most frequently.
4987 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 worked great no problems at all
6210 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I picked this game up about a year ago, having never seen the movie. I did not know what to expect. What I got though, was a completely thought provoking, psychologicially challenging, intuitive, breathtaking and mezmorizing game that left me clutched to my computer for days.
P.s. MegaMan x6 will be realeased soon. I here it will be even more challenging than MegaMan x4!!Im gonna check it out some time,cya later fellow reviewers.
Best examples on Gloomy Gulch levels
And I can tell its going to stay in my cd-rom for quite a while. I love the fact that it keeps track of all your stats, along with everyone else on a massively detailed web page. The competition is fierce. I end up checking it out after every night to see where I stand. (my handle is Bystander) This adds to the whole addiction thing. On top of that- I haven't even started on any variations of play other than death match, team death match, and capture the flag. They have a ton of maps and variations I haven't gotten to yet. I almost find it hard to review this game, but in fact, it will take months to get to it all significantly. That makes it even better.
I was not disappointed. The graphics, while not your latest 3D-Accelerated Zing-Boom flavor, are slick and very nice to look at. The gameplay is all we remember from the Citybuilding series, plus a bunch of new surprises. There are many differences in the way you build a Roman city vs. an Egyptian city, and it's refreshing to see that Pharaoh goes for accuracy in the little details. This is a detail-oriented game, after all. Floodplain farming, the lack of groundwater in the desert and monument building are some of the interesting differences between Pharaoh and Caesar III. Management of religion is improved somewhat, though I still find myself constructing "temple row" somewhere out of the way just to make sure all the gods are equally appeased.
Or if you are a PSX fan just get this game! It's great...
I told you this game was made in 1998, right? Well the graphics are terrific. The different atmospheres to this game make it twice more enjoyable. You can relax in broad daylight in Treasure Trove Cove, or wonder at dark in Mad Monster Mansion. And I thought the last world Click Clock Wood was absolutely brilliant, it's a forest and you collect jiggies in the four season's spring, summer, fall and winter. I especially loved Freezeezy Peak, and it was so much fun climbing the huge snowman.
Why we buy this console that we know Sega is not making Dreamcast console anymore instead we didn't buy Playstation 2?
There is such a wide variety of ride and attractions that you can choose from and get throughout the duration of the game. Just put a bit of money aside to the development of new rides and it comes up with the best ride that you can think of.
- Some nice unlockables like new Fighters, costumes, stages and other bonuses
Can only stay in car
I love Crash and cannot wait until it comes out for PS3.
549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a lot of fun, with a creepy atmosphere that revolves around the disappearance of Agents Mulder and Scully. I've heard some complain that they wish Mulder and Scully were in the game more, but I think you still see enough of them to keep most fans happy, plus I found the character of Agent Willmore (whom you play) to be very likeable. The storyline is very strong, the puzzles make sense, and the full motion video (FMV) sequences are very good. There are not very many FMV games around anymore, so if you like your adventure games with video sequences, this is really a "must have".
You see, for each of the ten characters in the game, they have major power moves that are very important to master because these are the moves that are supposed to cause the most damage to an opponent. However, many of these moves are incredibly difficult and sophisticated to pull off, and this is a *really* bad thing because the company responsible for this game apparently doesn't understand the importance of making a fighting game easy to master for everyone, of all ages. That way, young and old people alike can appreciate the Tekken style.
5230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game a few years ago and was unsure of it for a while. For me, the controls where kind of hard to figure out since I only had a few other games at the time. I also thought it was hard in general.
The simulation not only has the two Campaigns I mentioned earlier, but it has Free Flight, Quick Combat, Single Mission, and Training modes. Quick Combat, particularly, is good for players who like both flight simulations and arcade games. This option lets you choose what and how many enemy planes you can face off against, where the fight takes place, what weather conditions are like, time of day, and tactical situation. The enemy comes at you in waves, like in an arcade game, and as soon as you dispatch one wave, another appears. The challenge here is to shoot down as many planes as you can before you either run out of gas or are shot down. (Unlimited Ammo should be your choice in this sort of game no mater how good you are, unless you can shoot down one plane with one bullet. Here, skills learned in a jet fighter simulation will not help you!)
Battle.net and multiplayer rules in Starcraft. In case you don't know, battle.net gives you free access to the Blizzard server (if you use the Internet, of course) to meet and play multiplayer w/ hundreds and even thousands of other people off the net (of course, it's only 8 people per game max). There is (was?) also a great ranking system and tournaments, but I don't know if they still do that anymore, having my Internet connection gone extremely slow for the last 6 months...
566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still have my N64 and this game. Lot's of fun.
The second major difference is that you can capture other spaceships and add them to your fleet. Annoyed with those pesky multi ion-beam frigates attacking your mothership? Just send a squadron of salvage corvettes after them and capture the entire fleet! This is definitely one of the most important aspects of playing Homeworld - learning how to sneak a squad of salvage corvettes towards an enemy fleet.
The best thing about this game (and you'll read this about just about every RPG) is the story. The overall synopsis is not incredibly original - a young teen sets out on an adventure and ends up trying to save the world - but the characters he meets along the way are all very deep and emotional. You actually care what happens to them along the way, as you would the charaacters in a good book or movie. The story is very emotional, and you will be caught up in it from the start.
that there is a beautiful realistic 3-D graphic of the island.
9434 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First, id software gave us Doom, then Quake came about....the graphically-enhanced, true 3D successor to Doom.
1027 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has plenty of levels weapons and it has challenging gameplay with a pretty good multi-player (but i wish u could face computers in the multi-player) good graphics great play control and sound get this game if u don't already have Perfect Dark
Find it cheap, buy it, play it, enjoy it!
The other reason that this game does not rate highly for me was the poor, boxey graphics and the medicore sound. They just do not take advantage of the Dreamcast capabilities. On the otherhand, the game does have a lot of replay value and very sophisticated AI.
B) Progressive- we also started playing FF on the NES or SNES, but these fans are in love with not only the FF games themselves, but they also value the actual EVOLUTION, DEVELOPMENT, and GROWTH of the series. Sometimes accused of being "masochistic" or "mindless" Squaresoft fans, the truth of the matter is that over the course of many years and many games, we have seen Squaresoft time and time again show that they simply tower above the competing videogame developers. Square and their games are not perfect, but they certainly come closer to perfection than anyone else. FFVIII is no exception.
4997 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Even as a 31 year old man, this game can still creep the crap out of me. Happy as all heck to have it again.
559 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you.
Maybe I got a bad one, but I really think this thing sucks.
49 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great set of guides. no shipping damage. all books are in great shape , no misprints or upside-down pages.well worth the investment.

7650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!! Love the nostalgia!
They have already said the next one will be true to form. Update this already beautiful engine, make it open world, and bam, perfect Hitman.
It has a great story, great graphics, fast fun gameplay, you can equip stuff on every body part you have (ahem), you can buy things! While I'm not a huge Castlevania fan to begin with (first CV ever was Lament of Innocence (PS2). I'm not saying this game is terrible but for me the difficulty was way too hard for me. I just couldn't get past the third stage.
380 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i've played all the capcom maevel games and this is the best the hulk is actually green .not pink or grey but green like he is suposed to be.the rounds go fast
7999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't think I can top anyone else's review here, they all say it like it is, this is a great game and playing it is a great way to spend your time. Probably the best game ever made for Super Nintendo. If you are looking for a game that you will not get bored with on Super Nintendo, this is it.
I'm waiting for the next one.
There's mario's famous jump, double jump, and triple jump. The double and triple jumps can be performed by timing when you press the A button.
BUY IT
8684 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 F-Zero is a fast-paced racing game set in the future...the 26th Century. This game was released for the SNES around the same time as Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. There are four hovercars to choose from: blue, yellow, green, and magenta. They have names such as the Blue Falcon, Golden Fox, etc. Each car has different capabilities with top speed, acceleration speed, steering, braking, and boosting. There are three racing leagues: Knight, Queen, and King. In each league, there are five race courses, and five laps around the track completes the course. Placing in the Top 3 on the final lap in each course completes the circuit. Other settings include level of difficulty in racing: Beginner, Expert, Master, etc. I consider this game to be slightly above average in terms of playability, fun, and replay value. One definite downside is that it is a one-player game. It would have been better if it had been released with 2P capabilities. F-Zero is worth looking into if racing games are your thing.
901 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved this game when I was younger. Bought it and still love it.
Oh, yes. Good luck, happy landings, and good hunting!
6564 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks of final fantasy product give a series of game that kid enjoy for hours in a different kind of word
Characters are incredible: an anarchist who has to be loyal to main character, succubus who has bordel for INTELECTUAL lust, a floating skull who always gives ladies overgenerous comments and so on. Each of them is so impressive that communicating resembles talking to people you know from somewhere.
8210 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of the first video games I ever got and now even though I have PS2 and Gamecube I still go back and play it over and over again. I mean, nintendo couldn't have made it better. There are tons of power-ups, secret levels, and different colored yosiis each with their own special powers. In my mind the super nes version is much better than the GBA because you have to earn the right to save and it isn't a piece of cake to get a special colored yosii. This has got to be one of the best mario classics of all time!
Sound effects are no more than white noise.
1399 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 What can I say? This game is fun and funny at the same time. From mario flying around with the magic caps to Mario burning his [...] cheeks on the hot lava, this game is great! My only problem with this game is the freakin camera angles!!! AHHHHH sometimes I feel like I could just kick the Lakitu that controls the thing! Angles sometimes get soooo akward that it makes it difficult to make a jump correctly..or so you won't go flying down to your death. Other than that I give it a 4. Would be 5 if the camera was better.
Anyway, I grew up in the NES and SNES era. Context is so important, because without the context of growing up in those years, the impact of "Super Mario 64" is completely lost to younger people. To the generation that has "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim", "Gears of War", the "Grand Theft Auto" series, the "Mass Effect" trilogy, "Assasin's Creed", "Metroid Prime" trilogy, and the "Call of Duty" series, playing through "Super Mario 64" now may feel like you're going backwards, and you'd be right.
8881 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's been almost 15-years since i've last played this game for the SNES, just before the system itself stopped working. But after watching various YouTube videos of other people playing it for a 100% Item collection/Speed Run, it practically brought back memories of the last time I played this action-packed thrill-ride. So when my new FC Twin NES/SNES system arrives in the mail, along with the actual game, it's about time i'd take a bit of a stroll down memory lane by exploring (or in this case "re-exploring") the Planet Zebes.
The sound is great. The crowd the music...It's all good...Nd' I meaaannn It's ALL GOOD! 5/5
You play Cloud, a man from the small city of Nibelheim (sounds like a city in Germany). Cloud works for AVALANCHE, a terrorist group that's fighting against the evil Shirna, Inc. As the game unfolds, you learn that Shirna, Inc does far more evil than AVALANCHE does. Shirna, Inc knows no end to its evil.
D2: An obscure horror game that will have you hiding under your bed at night for weeks after playing it. This game made great and novel use of the VMU screen
5921 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me start off by saying that this is one of the best games I've ever played. The graphics and FMVs (especially the intro!) are outstanding and the storyline is engrossing, intricate and complex. Some people don't like the new junction system, well, Squaresoft was trying to put something different in the game so it wouldnt play as FFVII with materia. And the did a fine job with that. Money is not of great importance in this game as FFVII, but you do get a lot of it throughout the game. The main character has a cool weapon, the gunblade, which is very original and it has much more power than Cloud's big "axe." This game has some great music - arguably the best ever in any RPG. The theme song, "Eyes on Me" is a memorable and romantic tune that will easily catch your ear. Overall FFVIII is an incredible game with a lot to it. There's a lot i didn't mention but you'll figure it out. FFVII wasn't a bad game at all. Both have their originalites and ups and downs.
I immediately purchased it after I got my PS1, and it captured me. I must say it is a fine piece of martial arts work. Totally get this game or at least try it. It is a great improvement from its predecessors. If you didn't like those 2, just loooook at thiiiiis. It is niiiiiiiiice. Try iiiiiiiit.
The final battle with Grunty is one of the toughest obstacles I have encountered in a video game and I still have not figured out a way to beat her without the unlimited gold feather cheat.
was, if anything, worse! There was no limit to the number of their missions. They flew until they were killed or the war ended, whichever came first.
Overall this game is the worst of the BoF series. I don't recommend buying it unless its finishes some collection you are working on, or if you have to see a hopping onion follow people around.
Lastly, i don't know the min. system requirements so here are the specs for my system... 1ghz AMD Athlon, 256mb Ram, 32mb Geeforce 2 video card, Hercules GameSurround Furtismo II sound card... the video settings are at their highest and the sound settings are at their highest as well. The game runs perfect without any skipping in either sound or video.
4797 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is one of the best out there as far as graphics are concerned. With real voices and great graphics, gameplay is one of the best of its kind. I would suggest this to anyone who has a 3D Graphics card, it will definitely make the experience a lot better.
MUSIC: Grade of "A". Some people will tell you that the FFT soundtrack is the best videogame soundtrack ever. I don't know if I'd go that far, but I must say, the music fits PERFECTLY with the game. There are tons of battles in this game, but there is a LOT of variety in the music. Best of all, the music actually puts you in the MOOD to whip out that sword and cream those foes. Germinas Peak, Sweegy Woods, Back Fire, Boss Battle themes, are among my favorites.
5454 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is da bomb!! Forget about Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the Nintendo 64. The Playstation version blows that one away! You get to pick more selectable fighters, including Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, Shao Kahn, Jax & Kung Lao from MK 2, and Raiden & Kano from MK 1. Plus, the sound fx and music are equivelant to the smash arcade hit. And speaking of the incredible soundtrack, you can even stick this disc into your CD player and actually listen to music from the game! In other words, MKT is both a video game and a music CD!!! Of course, this thing is loaded with plenty of blood and violence, but that should be a real treat for gore hounds. Diehard MK fans will definetly get their moneys worth. The options menu offers you some pretty cool stuff, including automatic combos! That's right, you can do combos simply by tapping one button! That rocks! The graphics & animation look pretty good for a 2-D game, and the controls and gameplay work together nicely. However, this game does have its cons. The game only has one cheat menu, which kind of s*cks. The one-button-fatalities mode messes up sometimes. The game itself freezes sometimes and you have to reset the game. If you have both a PS1 and a PS2, avoid playing this game on your PS2. Instead, play it on your PS1. This game messes up a lot when played on the PS2 console. I'm not sure why, but it plays good on the regular PS. All of the stage fatalities are here except for the Pit 2 fatality, but I can do without it. The bosses are incredibly hard to beat, unless you play as one of the bosses yourself. You can beat Shao Kahn best with Noob Saibot by shooting your ring at him and doing combos on him. The bosses don't have fatalities, but they sure are tough. The storyline on this game s*cks and doesn't go into detail like MK3 did. However, each character has their original tournament outcome when you beat the game, which is cool. Other than that, this game is still da bomb! Straight & simple. If you're a diehard blood-thirsty MK fan, then get this freakin' game now. Otherwise, steer clear.
I would recommend this game if you like platform games and have a Sega Genesis,if you don't already own it. This game is alot better than the first one,but the first one is really good too. Other games that I recommend are Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic 3.
You play as Alucard, the son of Dracula, who rushes into Castlevania when it appears in order to destroy it and prevent Dracula from returning.
9281 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is a classic and everyone should own it (gameplay is 5 stars). The cartridge I got was in OK condition, but it did take me a while to find the exact way it wanted to be inserted and not load corrupted. I did figure it out after a lot of tries on a couple different Gameboys. Save function works!
762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I share a great relationship with this game. Before it came out, I received a promotional VHS Tape in the mail that told me about the game, its stages, and gameplay. It was a better instruction manual than the booklet! I also love how the footage was taken from the beta version of the game. With its promotional montage, you could tell this was also back when they were going to make Conker's game another cartoony adventure rather than the adult-oriented one they ended up making.
7275 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great! Doesn't work with 64DD attachment (Japanese copy does), but it works and plays, so that's the main thing! :)
The levels are even more complex than those on the first one and the music is even better as well.
As far as plot it's well done. Plot being the most important part to an RPG its good to see this game was strongest in this area. Even though I won't reveal much on the plot I will tell you it surprises you many times. Like most RPGs you don't get a lot of control over the plot but that's fine it's still a good game. The plot doesn't start to shake and get lost around the end it keeps you stuck form beginning to finish.
really bad graphics.
The game has a sprite based watercolor feel to it and you aren't going to find an artistic direction like this in many other games because the lead character designer on this game, Ayami Kojima, is entirely self trained. The art is perfect for this game though. From the most obvious to the smallest detail you ARE in Dracula's castle. Nothing feels out of place. My only gripe here is that if you aren't playing the game on an overclocked Saturn then you're going to experience some lag when a lot is going on meaning that sometimes they were a little too ambitious with their work.
Regarding the down side of the game: By the time the game got to chapter 6 (there are 7), I was ready for it to end. And the ending itself is a bit anticlimactic. My party got up to only 7th level, and thus had rather limited abilities. Comparing this game to Morrowind (which I am now playing), BG could have been a bit more open-ended and expansive in size, which would have enhanced its replayability. After 12 intense days of playing to the end, I promptly auctioned it on Ebay.
MGS featured a Japanese voice track and you played through the infiltration of the basement through the above airfield and into one of the two ducts. Then the demo ends.
KOF99:Evolution and KOF2000 have their merits, but because of their smaller rosters and modified style, they fall a little short of KOF:DM99. While KOF:99E has better effects on the DC (KOF2000 has yet to be ported), KOF:DM99 still holds it own. The graphics easily take on the like of Capcom's greats like SF:Alpha 3. Obviously it doesn't have the pizzazz of the newer 2D DC fighters, the gameplay and character design has always set SNK apart from Capcom or Arc Systems (makers of Guilty Gear).
2. Gameplay is wonderfully balanced. You are never bored, and only occasionally frustrated by the harder puzzles. All the puzzles are logical, and give you a great feeling of accomplishment when you solve them. There is a vast area to explore while you are figuring things out. You turn a corner, and startle mysterious creatures who are sunning themselves on a rock. You climb up another path, turn, and the view makes you gasp.
6289 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have missed this console. I cannot wait to regain my collection and play the games I used to play. Definitely worth it. Of course some of the nostalgia is lost because I am so much older now... But I still love it. I cannot wait for my children (when I eventually have them) to be able to play this. It is something that must never die.
Overall it's a pretty good game that could've been better. It doesn't cost all that much, though.
The game runs smoothly and is very immersive thanks to the great sound effects and good graphics for the time. One thing that some reviewers overlook is the stat summary at the end of the level. It is a nice to see your total and level time,loot, killed bodys, knocked out bodys and discoverd bodys(you can pick up the bodys and hide them to reduce suspicion of other guards. This adds to the feeling of not just going level to level and actually working for a goal. A goal which could simply be saving money to buy equipment at the start of the next level.
Zapping? Well... that's what they call it anyway. It just means that at two points scenarios affect each other. See, there are four scenarios. Leon A, Clare B, Clare A, Leon B. Bounus modes are unlocked by beating the game with a high score (ie, not using your first aid or finishing within a certain ammount of time). The scenarios of the two characters interesct at two pivotal points (An item pick-up and a puzzle choice) and that's it. Don't get me wrong, the gimmic is okay, but it is barely "zapping."
3526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 wow what a game I got this game and I tell you this is a great game from up to up it doseit matter this a great game buy it i loved it don't buy the 1st one buy 2 and 3 thats all!
The grapics are great, fast and great! It has a great third person view, the camera is behind and above the team, you can move to either side, you can jump up, you can fall down, it's just a great 3D game!
You have several various options within the game. First, you can play tour of duty campaigns in which you play as various civilizations (The Celts and Franks to name a few) against different kind of enemies. These missions are generally the most difficult part of the game, and most have you at them for hours before you finally come out the victor. The other two sections of the game are multiplayer (which you can play over a network or on the internet) and custom campaigns which let you play against the computer in a multiplayer style gaming environment. In this type of game, you get to pick any one of the 14 different civilizations to be, all of which have unique strengths and weaknesses. It's quite fun to go through each civilization researching new weapons and upgrades to see which fits you the best.
1005 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a must-have for your N64. It is fun to play by yourself, but the most fun is when you play with 1-3 friends. :) The graphics are not the greatest, but it usually doesn't affect the gameplay. A classic N64 game.
Well, within minutes I was hooked to Sonic Adventure. The graphics are absolutely amazing. The level design is the best that I have ever seen. I love how Sonic Team chose to incorporate some RPG elements by including an overworld and some powerup items. What takes this game from great to being a true phenomenon is the playability of 6 characters. I got the game on Thursday and beat the Sonic Quest saturday night... that's not all though! I still have 5 more characters, each with his or her own quests and storylines. Tails and Knuckles are among the playable characters.
7952 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed the first two games before this one...this game has a few more secrets to find than the old ones. Though it does suck you cant play as Donkey Kong as you cant in the second one.
5955 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diablo II has been around quite a while now, but it remains in my mind the greatest game ever made. I was one of many who waited impatiently for untold months for Blizzard to finish the sequel to the original Diablo, and I was by no means disappointed. Blizzard does not release a game until it is really ready for prime time. The most amazing thing about this game is its disarming simplicity. All you need is a mouse and a finger to click with, yet the action is often intense and the experience completely absorbing. When you get right down to it, killing demons and other nefarious beasts is just plain fun. The game can get rather difficult at times, yet this is a game that even I, inept player that I am, have actually been able to complete all on my own.
I should've got an N64.
75 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just amazing. High quality and all the Zelda feels. Do yourself a favor and get this. A must have in any crazy Zelda fan's arsenal.
horrible, as I have seen much worse, and rather unforgiving controls than this.
1818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Graphics: 8/10 - Really neat little things you might not notice. Sometimes a little too computerized, but still eye-catching.
7406 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought this as a gag gift for a friend. He was amused.
- The new "dodging" feature is nearly impossible to use.
Of course, none of this means a tinker's cuss if it's no fun to play, right? Well, get ready `cause you're going down...again!
For 2010,Pocket Monsters Black and White came out,it was a disappointment for fans. Thankfully,Pocket Monsters Black 2 and White 2 came out in 2012 as squeals. They allowed fans to catch more pokemon,and a inverter story. They are much better.
9202 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game starts with an adaptation of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. The levels are slightly simplified to fit on the smaller screen, and as this is a Super Gameboy game the color pallet is limited (or non-existant if playing it on a system that doesn't support Super Gameboy colors), but on the plus side this adaptation is the first to have the "pie factory" level from the arcade game.
But recently when i played the playstation version, i noticed they jibbed out and didn't include certain things that the PC version and better version had.
Aerith: The obligatory love interest.
Contrary to what the Amazon editorial had to say about this game, Half Life is not the bloodiest (Soldier of Fortune), is not the smartest (No One Lives Forever), and is not the scariest (System Shock 2 or Clive Barker's Undying).
1677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this disc because it gives me the chance to play the old school games that I used to play.
The gameplay is traditional Mortal Kombat fighting action. There are also some new moves, such as twisting someone's leg.

8544 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game is awesome.
You can build all of the normal dungeon-esque rooms, eg. prisons, gladiator pits, and torture chambers. You can recruit many creatures from the usual demons and undead to the odd imps and goblins. The reason I rated the game 4 overall is because of the incompatibility between DK2 and XP. The game works on my XP for about an hour then it crashes or freezes. The patches also won't work because some goon deleted patch 1.0 to 1.3 which is what you need to get the rest all the way to 1.7. [Confusing, eh?] If you think you can have fun for an hour or get it to work then I strongly suggest you try the game. You won't be disappointed.
It's a must have. If you have a Mega Drive or PS3 make sure you get Gunstar Heroes.
This is a shame because Dirt 3 is a fun little game. There's a great assortment of multinational tracks, and a wide array of classic and modern rally cars to choose from. As a rally game, Dirt 3 ditches the comfortable confines of tracks and sends you headlong across snow and gravel in a world where keeping control of your car is a greater skill than making it around the turns. Dirt 3 wears a veneer of noisy, fun arcade-style game play, but under the hood it calls for quick reactions, a good understanding of road surfaces, and nerves of steel. Sadly, it also calls for a gamepad or wheel- you will almost certainly find the keyboard too all-or-nothing for serious racing.
4390 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is still among the best of the real time strategy games. I especially like the inclusion of three factions with different abilities requiring different strategies to succeed. Get it with the Brood War expansion and have fun!
9319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game that deserves a play through, no matter how you get you hands on this game you need to play this game. If black and white gaming is not your thing n
There's a great deal of suspense in the atmosphere too. People underestimate this aspect of the game. The suspense comes in accidentally stumbling across a Metroid and having to quickly prepare yourself for a fight. Sometimes while exploring and stumbling across a Metroid, you won't have enough health or ammo to take it down, which adds to the suspense a LOT more. I can't tell you how many times I just *barely* had enough missiles to defeat a Metroid. The game's not very generous with health either. You will find yourself barely surviving PLENTY of times I bet.
3931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am one of PC Gamer's biggest fans, and there are only a few of their reviews I have ever disagreed with. One of them was Rebellion. Garnering only a 61%, I was immediately skeptical. But after playing it, I realized that this game was one of the most addictive and fun games that I have ever played. People will tell you that the micromanagement will eat you alive. They say you have to "click here and here and here and here and here and here" just to accomplish a simple task of building a ship. Well, sure, you can do that, if you take the long route approach to doing things. And once you get playing, you'll learn all the little shortcuts.
4479 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm sure if you've been looking at this game you've probably also played the Civilization series. This game has a similar blueprint to Civilation, but at the same time is quite different.
1028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 yes this game has VERY good game play it has 18 levels to unlock and 2 secret levels and very good you will wanna play this game over and over be cuz of all the secrets u can find if use a game shark u can get all of the old beta stuff and this game is a MUST HAVE the world is not enough 64 was good but its game play died it only has 14 levels and twine was not very good maybe voice was in it but IT IS NOT BETTER THEN GOLDENEYE 007 U MUST BUY THIS GAME ITS A JAMES BOND CLASSIC THIS GAME IS ALWAYS TO GET IT AND PUT IT IN YOUR 64 AND TURN UP THE HEAT but twines mutl player make u get sick of the game goldeneye may have bad mutl player but its better twine has arond 123 guys to pick from for mutl
Also in this one, the special moves changed because now you got to chose which set you wanted which was cool for some characters and detrimental to the success of some of the other characters.
Hours of play with a pair of AA
2663 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not a great fun of Microsoft but I have to admit that they did a great job with this joystick, just for once. I bought the Saitek Cyborg 3D. Same price. It was horrible. Unstable. It was cool looking but what's the use a cool joystick when you can't land your plane with it because it sends random signals to your pc? Sidewinder is precise and reliable. Also it's multipurpose. I use it for Falcon 4 and Need for Speed and it's great with both.
1811 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is really fun. I love everything about it besides having to search the worlds sometimes to find all the levels, but it's part of the game and it does help add to when you defeat it. If you love games like Crash Bandicoot, Mario, Zelda, or anything related you'll probably really like this game.
In the end, this is a bittersweet note that we end the Super Nintendo era on. The game is great and incredibly fun, but was largely ignored during it's release due to the coverage of the more advanced games coming out then on the Playstation and Sega Saturn. In hindsight, this game is treasured and remembered fondly by those that did play it, and much more appreciated and loved than virtually all of the games that were released around the same time.
5216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I heard there was to be a Metal Gear game released on the Playstation, I was happy. I had been a long time fan of the series from the very first game on the NES and even through the crappy Snake's Revenge. I didn't know if that next generation of gamers would know anything about the series, but I was hoping for a good game. My expectations were surpassed beyond anything I could have hoped for. Not only was Metal Gear Solid a good game, it was a great game. Metal Gear Solid is one of the best games (if not the best game) on the Playstation and it should take its place as one of the top games of all time.
4) Fast action
3987 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game from amazon.com. I haven't stopped playing it since i got it 5 days ago. There are 8 planes. and an extra plane (Mig-29) that you can fly in multiplayer. You can fly in a war that occured in the past or in the future. There is even a mission where you have to save Air Force One from migs just like in the movie. In one mission I had to shot tanks in an A-10 and I ran low on fuel and I got to REFUEL IN MIDAIR. You can fly 1960's fighters to new age fighters. If you want to fly a USAF jet but you are to old, to young or don't have the time this is the closest thing you will get to the real thing. Buy this game and you'll be proud to have it in your software library. By the way you would need P200MHZ, 450M Hard Disk to own this game. 350MHZ recomended.
was a bit tough near the end. Nemisis was by far the best re creature ever made. Just the way of his figure and look made me love this game. The game is overall fun and a little chalenging
The replay value comes in the battle game. Beat the game, and that becomes available (successfully complete a puzzle in the game, and Steve becomes available). You can play as Claire, Chris Redfield, Steve, or Wesker, each complete with certain weapons (Wesker's game is insane; you only fight with a knife).
7638 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic game-but I knew that, I played it when it first came out-I am so glad Amazon is selling the classic nintendo games, I really miss playing them
GALAXIAN
9776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Leon,Claire,Ada,and Sherry are great characters. All must survive this nightmare and work together. The A and B scenarios are a treat and I wish that game mechanic to return,which makes the reply value HIGH. I had a blast playing it on Normal for the first time in 12 years!!
Fav final fantasy Games
2912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 cool
very fun
Had 3 copies throughout the years. Going to baby this one for sure. Thanks windows for killing another favorite game of mine (H2). I did notice the original HALO sure does boot up fine on all Win releases. Stoopid monkey.
-And speaking of stages, this one of the FEW Sonic games with three acts per zone as opposed to two.
I have a little story about this, kinda bad but Im gonna share it anyways.
Plain to finish it. I may be older now but the fun is still in me.
Its so fun and out of control.
4830 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ever since I bought USAF I was like great but I need a Sim for a chopper. Comanche Gold suited my needs, this sim has good graphics, runs on most PC's and has over 80 missions. You can contol everything from altitude hold to extending and retracting the Cargo bay doors.
Sound 5 out of 5.
- glitches, bugs
Grim Fandango is a story about Manny Calavera, a travel agent for the souls of the dead. He sells packages to the departed for their four year journey to their just rewards, and if he sells enough he can earn enough to make his own trip someday.
a ridiculous thing they did in this game is that the characters level up with you, so you can finish the game at level 8 or so (as leveling up is not necessary and bosses give you NO experience points{I completed it at level 7 or 8})
If your a regular FPS fan, then by all means get this game! It is a must own for all FPS fans. I don't recommend QUAKE 3 if you are more into teamplay. But if you like Deathmatch, QUAKE 3 is the undisputed, undefeated king.
Overall: 8/10 - What can I say? I thought this was a blast. It was fun, energetic and speedy. A good instalment to the Ridge Racer series. The cars were brilliant and the Great Gran Prix is the best part. However, Ridge Racer Type 4 loses points because it is simply too much like Gran Turismo and you might tire of its same-old routine. Still lots of fun and recommended!
Now If you're looking for the main N64 titles then I recommend..
Yet, there are some people who might not find this product enjoyable. As others have commented, it is a very right-hand-centric design. Since there are a host of buttons on the left-hand side of the base, you can't hold the joystick in your left hand and access those buttons without crossing your hands. Also, the cluster of buttons on the joystick itself are designed to fit the right hand. If you're a right-handed person, this design is ergonomically perfect. It literally fits in the palm of your (right) hand. But a left-handed person has no business whatever buying this product.
There are games on the SNES that utilize better technology such as pre-rendered models (Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong Country), but the old 16-bit era was one of artistry without realism. Hi-res graphics didn't matter as much because most games were interactive cartoons. A Link to the Past is precisely that, and I don't think that it could be much improved in the graphic department. The GBA port is exactly the same in graphical style, as well it should be.
VS Game: Race the other player in this multiplayer mode
7994 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is perfect for 8 to 15 year olds in my opinion. This is like METAL GEAR because of the story, cutcenes and memorable characters.
Is ridiculous in this game it is way over responsive to the point where it is hard to even drive the vehicles. Just driving over power ups seems like a chore to pickup when they should be easy. The wonderful freeze element in TM2 does not work near as well in this game. The play control in TM2 was outstanding, every vehicle was easy to learn and play. Not so in this monstrosity.
-I can't end the pros without mentioning that this game has AN EXCELLENT SOUNDTRACK. The Greenhill Zone, Scrap Brain Zone, and title themes especially WILL get stuck in your head (Thankfully all are memorably good!).
5178 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my first video game that I ever played as kid even before Mario lol. This game was something out of the movies for me, and it set a high standar for all video games for ps1 for me. I can only count the fingers on my hand of how many games that can give this game a run for best game on the ps1.
Note: This game didn't receive an A+ because of the two factors, one I neglected to mention above: 1. You have to grow up with this game or older versions of it to feel the nostalgia. 2. The boss levels can be difficult for kids of this generation because most games of 2005 and later the makers dumbed down the difficulty.
3. The Incredible Hulk (What's to say, he's a "Monster" hahahahahaha...sorry.)
The game play is very nice. I suggest practice in single player for a short period, say a week an hour a day. Than you MUST, I emphasise on must, start playing it online with other player, this is what makes the game worth while. Playing by yourself with cheats can be fun but also very boring later on. This is what makes the game great. I suggest getting $29.95 or so broadband DSL, why? If you have 56K internet, you will usually lag, shown by the red bars next to your SN(screen name). If you lag in a game, the creator will very likely boot/ban you. This is where you'll get stuck playing by yourself again. Please take note, having 56K doesn't necessarily mean you'll lag so chear up. It just means you'll lag more of the time than those with fast DSL/Cable internet. Having super fast internet also doesn't mean you'll never lag, but you'll lag rarely, depends on server. Multiplayer player is great because you can fight other players, fight with a friend or by yourself against computers, or have a third whole new option, which makes this game excellent, called, uh oh I forgot, haven't played in 2 years. UMS, used map setting? This is where you can play maps made by ordinary people just like you to play. They can be totally different from the Melee counterpart. RPG and such. So when you're bored of melee go to UMS and vice versa. There are many options but you find out for yourself, I'm not your mom!
When I was a kid, I used to play the s*** out of this game and in my opinion; this is undeniably not only the best Resident Evil game, but the best survival horror game and one of the best PlayStation games I have ever played. This game still manages to be very scary, if you're playing this for the first time, you are guaranteed to be so scared; your heart will burst out your chest. Trust me; I had my jumps even to this day. Its more fun playing this game alone in your room in the dark, with the volume turned up. This makes for a terrifying and memorable experience. I absolutely love this game, its just a masterpiece. Id recommend getting the version from the PlayStation Store to play on the PS3 for only $6, or the regular PlayStation version or the Nintendo 64 version. Those are the best options. The replay value is very high for me and I could play this game at any time. You will admire this game and its by far the best in the entire series.
5440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blitz is that fast action quick football fix that football gamers love to play, next up from playing tecmo bowl back in the late 80's!
Buy this game if you like the series but you're not a fanatic (you'd be disappointed). And you'll have a good time if you can stand occasionally being stuck and turn it into a challenge rather than into a frustration.
4. Anything else
6145 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just got a hankering to re-install this game. Freelancer got a little stale for me and Tachyon didn't have enough to keep me playing after I beat it. So after more than two years of not playing this game, I am finding it to be incredible. The graphics are crisp, sound is incredible, controls incredibly responsive, gameplay complex enough for me, and storyline is pretty darn deep (especially for a game of this type). Plus... the game can pretty much go on forever with the FRED2 editor and there are VAST numbers of community created mods, featuring both sorte missions and full length campaigns.
The CONS: Due to cartridge limitations, Rare had to make cuts here and there. You will see missing frames of animations, flat 2D settings instead of the original 3D look the stages had in the arcade version, graphics running on a lower resolution setting and the music tracks playing in the background of matches are instrumental compared to the arcade versions where you heard it with the lyrics spoken (hence the reason why the music CD was included???) These are just minor quips as it doesn't deter from the overall gaming experience.
Okay, enough of the overly smug and satirical comments. It is entirely subjective what people think of any Final Fantasy game, but what is objective is that it is the best selling Final Fantasy game to date refer to the following website for further proof if you need a reference: [...]
1830 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This item was purchased as a gift for my Grandson, it was requested by him and his mother, they both love the game. It has worked flawless since they received it.
2402 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got exactly what I wanted and paid for. Bought the game with box and manual. Box was neatly shipped in a thin plastic box protector thing. Box is it almost PERFECT condition. The manual is almost new condition and the game is perfect. Very clean and nothing wrong with labels. -VERY satisfied customer.
1175 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was a tad on the easy side for the most part, but it was still great fun. One of the best Zelda games. Cool places to explore and neat items to find.

9008 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rare became famous overnight once they developed, published and released Donkey Kong Country for the SNES in 1994. Nintendo had handed over to them a well known but dormant franchise at the time and using ACM graphics, this stunning game wowed anyone who played this title for the first time back then. It was considered state of the art for its time and it made owning an SNES console even better.
As soon as I got home, I opened the box and installed both Starcraft and Brood War. Never before and since have I found a Real Time Strategy game with the same combination of storyline and gaming feel (No not even Warcraft III). The single player storyline holds onto your attention as it seamlessly slips from one mission to the next... from one race to the next. The actual game play is awesome. The three races are diverse and balanced very well. No units stick out as being undefeatable. Each race allows for many options in battle strategies.
The sales of this game will continue to rise with Steam support, and it is well worth its place in the number one spot. I have tried other Final Fantasy games because of VII and not found them as impressive based on their RPG elements of leveling up materia, upgrading weapons, and limit breaks.
2271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The expansion pack beefs up the graphics capability of the standard Nintendo 64 Unit. This in itself should make any gamer run out and grab one - when you compare the price of this to the price of one of the new consoles, you're saving tons of money!
As with the details the other reviews do a great job so i'll just leave you with this - I've played just nearly every tactical combat/rpg ever made and X-Com is by far the best.
7376 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first SML game sold so well that Nintendo went back to the drawing board and came up with the sequel. In 1992, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins was released for the Game Boy and was also a smash hit. Mario returns in the sequel that blends in elements of Super Mario Bros, captures the feel of Super Mario Bros 3 (classic NES game) and introduces a brand new villain, Wario (now a fan favorite and well known Nintendo character.) It's a great game that belonged in anyone's Game Boy collection.
2918 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is as good as everyone says it is
The gameplay is pure one-on-one fighting. You can choose from a number of fighters (I choose Sub-Zero), and then you battle onward from fighter to fighter. Eventually, you'll get to the Endurance rounds, which let you face against the defeated fighters, but you must face 2 under one go. That is what makes the game stand out.
6110 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's the PlayStaion controller. C'mon, do I really have to do a review. You need it to play your games. The funny thing is, I used to prefer the controller that came with the PS, the one with no analog sticks, until I experienced the Dual Shock 2. I used to say "what is that, those big black lumps on the controller?? I'm not getting that." Aaaa man, the good old days....
Peace
7657 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game and came on time and all around fun game to play
To activate the Sound Test, successfully complete Bonus Practice games 1 and 2 with all characters including the hidden ones. The Test Music option will appear on the Data screen.
5453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. All three original MK games bundled into one, plus more! It provides a great leadup to MK4, and bridges the gap between the old 16 bit MK games and the CD and DVD MK games of today!
Graphically, the game has aged very well, (sprites for the win) which is not all that surprising given the art style.
3149 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Being a diehard Final Fantasy fan, I just had to get this game. While I enjoyed it for the most part, I was disappointed by the "feel" of the game for lack of a better term. It was not fantasy, it was more science fiction, and I really could have done without the awkward-looking polygon characters. But the music is fantastic, the storyline is moderately interesting, and I think it just depends on what kind of gamer you are as to how much you like it. Most newer gamers really love it, so if you are hesitant rent before you buy. (They finally listened to us old-school gamers and did us right with Final Fantasy IX, though! Marvelous!!)
the part where the game really eccels is the multi player mode which is so incredibly fun. there is no game that equls super smash brothers as a multiplayer game.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night is the second approach at the RPG format. This time however you are not a Belmont, instead the last one to this point (Richter) has mysteriously vanished around the same time that Castle Dracula has Re-emerged. Maria goes in search of Richter and that's where you come in.
I am confident in saying this is my favorite game of all time. When I started playing this game, I thought it was a war game and only thought of it as that. Even though I was TERRIBLY wrong, you can still treat Alpha Centauri simply as a war game and be 100% satisfied with it. However, it's so, so, so much more. I've been playing it for over a year now, and I'm still learning new features and aspects of the game that I never noticed. I like how if you are a beginner, you can set base production to "governor" and that will direct production according to your current priorities if you don't really know what you're doing yet. Also, there are multiple ways of achieving victory, not just conquest like most games. These include: conquest (conquer everyone), diplomatic (get elected supreme leader), cooperative (destroy enemies and share victory with allies), economic (monopolize the planet's economy) and transcendence (begin the next stage of human evolution). There may be one or two I forgot about, but as you can see it's more than simply a war game. However, like in reality, you will need to maintain a military to defend yourself against more aggressive factions.
To unlock the Item menu (where players determine weapons and their frequency), play Vs. mode at least 50 times.
9337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Beavis and Butthead is better on sega than it is on super nintendo!!! This game is the best oldschool game ever! Whoever buys the game on nintendo is stuped. they shouldn't have put the game on super nintendo because it is really cool on sega. BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD ON SEGA RULES!!!!
Exploration and side quests do not disappoint! You get a huge world to explore in (and yes you get an airship!) full of side quests to obtain more GFs or just unlock intriguing mysteries, and quite simply the most addictive card game I've ever seen invented for any video game ever.
6263 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this for a long, long time way back on the original version I purchased when it came out. I don't know what became of that original copy, but I was overjoyed to find this republished here on amazon.com. There are places in this game that stick in my memory - the dead city buried under Ragpicker's Square, Curst, and the Fortress of Regrets. The wonderful city of Sigil that seemed to possess so many dark corners and odd inhabitants from all corners of the multiverse. There was something vastly different about this game, something that set it apart from the wonderful BGII and other games of the day. There is even something that sets it apart from the games of today, such as Dragon Age and Oblivion. Granted, the graphics are aged, but still catch the eye. They possess an art style that still makes them intriguing. The depth of ideas, philosophy and wonderful fictional history floating within the text conversations that frequent the game is what sets it above most of the RPGs of years gone and even the ones of today. Upon playing it again, I am enjoying it immensely, but find myself in a way rather sad. This game was a pinnacle from back in the day, back when you spent hours delving into conversations and puzzles trying to find the next step to solve the riddle of a man, your immortal protagonist that ever struggles to find his scattered memories. However most of what is produced today doesn't seem to come close. I found I greatly enjoyed Fallout 3, a wonderful example of depth with improved graphics. But discouraged with the linear fare typical with many console/PC games, such as Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and the latest FF offerings. It would be absolutely killer if someone revisited Planescape with something akin to Fallout 3. Alas, it will probably never happen. If you like RPGs however, I highly recommend you snag a copy of this gem while it is still available. One of the finest examples of the genre out there.
Batman Forever is a game that's close to being good. But the repetitive nature of its combat and the fact that you've seen and experienced everything there is experience with the first level alone makes it less fun to play than other games. It's a pretty boring game that, for those who have time, can use it to kill two hours, but it's going to feel like it's far longer than two hours to complete. Visuals and music aside, there's nothing that special about Batman Forever that's going to keep you coming back to it time and time again.
The World is not Enough
-Collecting stars is really fun!
Also, I have 99 of all the items possible to have 99 of....except some of the weapons and armor....you don't really need 99 Gold bangles or 99 W-Machine guns....one of each weapon and 8 of each armor will suffice....one for each character.
-Addicting sound effects.
It does occur "beyond Civ".. after the launch of the spaceship and colonization of space.. and involves a new set of "races" and a new tech tree. Some call the tech tree "too foreign" or hard to understand.. but I don't really think so.. the techs may seem "artificial" or "invented" while the Civ tech's seem "real".. that is techs based on things we are familiar with. To me they are just a ladder to climb to more advanced capabilities.. wonders (called "special projects), social options, units, etc.

9708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game! I've spent countless hours building my very own Roman Empire and downloading other people's empires from fan sites. The graphics are great and you can learn a lot about the Roman Empire from playing this game. The best part is you *really* get involved in your city, you control everything, unlike Sim City. That's why I think Caesar III is much better than Sim City.
1146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I played this game, the only other Zelda game that I had ever played was Link to the Past, and I couldn't understand it that well. I decided to play this because of the hype. I was sure glad I did. This is one of the best games ever! It's full of adventure, it has a wonderful story, and it is challenging. It begins with Link, a 10-year-old Kokiri (child of the forest) who is chosen to save Hyrule, his home world. Along the way, you meet new friends, such as Princess Zelda, and grow into a 17-year-old adult to fight the evil Ganondorf! You have many different weapons, spells, and items at your disposal, including swords, bows, and a giant hammer. The fun never stops and the story never goes flat. If you want a grand adventure, buy this game. If you like this, play The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask, but wait until you finish this game.
The Bad: Tails is annoying, not so hot multiplayer, can be very difficult at times
However, the boss fights cannot be avoided, and thus, it's a darn good thing they're so enjoyable. Bosses range from normal human beings with dreams of revenge to individuals with slightly supernatural powers, which adds an interesting twist to the game. Every boss is fighting for their own perosnal reasons, and their own motives.
6455 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game clearly wipes out any other strategy game out there. Age 1 was great...Age 2 is better! Why? Better everything! Better graphics, sounds, AI (how smart the computer plays), etc. Also, most popular game on the MSN Gaming Zone! If your a strategy fan, this is a game you don't want to miss. Every online game site, and magazine rated this game at least 9.0/10. And people complain about RAM? I got 48, and it runs good with 2 players. One problem, but it can be fixed: Computer surrenders. Just download an update from Microsoft, and done! Well, I'm off to play Aoe2!
8526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good and as expected. Recommended !
Of course, most Halo and Unreal Tournament gamers of today will blindly slag off Doom simply because the game is old and because of its archaic graphics. Yes, the graphics do date this game a bit, plus its bloody, violent visuals look a lot more like a cartoon now than it did ten years ago, but people need to wake up and realize that a game is not fun solely based on how great the graphics are. The visuals are primitive, but you won't really care once you become immersed in the game.
Story - Not bad at all. A few plot holes made me scratch my head but not bad.
3081 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I being a veteran of videogaming, have to say I'm very dissapointed in the recent reviews bashing this game. Final Fantasy VII is what made RPG gaming what it is today.
This could have been one of the best games ever, but in attempting to appeal to the mainstream (lets face it, the thievery aspect wouldn't have sold well on consoles) they messed it up, and they didn't even do the "it's-been-done-before" bit well. At least if it was done well it could have offered some short-term enjoyment (albeit forgetable) so that I wouldn't have completely wasted my money, but as it is it was a missed oportunity. Doesn't even deserve the tag "Thief" most of the time.
7607 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've owned every other Star Wars game on the 64, and without a doubt, nothing surpasses Rogue Squadron. But Shadows Of The Empire is not to be over looked.
After defeating Dr. Robotnik in the last game, Robotnik gets back to work with his usual scheme of taking over the world. Like in the last game, he's captured a bunch of animals and is turning them into malicious robots, and is building a devastation space weapon called the Death Egg. You take control of Sonic again to thwart Robotnik's plans, and this time, a two-tailed fox by the name of Tails Prower tags along and helps you.
Graphics and audio are pretty good, far surpassing what the Genesis version was offering and staying pretty true to the arcade version. Gameplay however, is a failure. Nevermind that the fatalities have been changed and the blood turned to sweat - the actual fighting is stiff and unresponsive, and it feels like the fighters have their feet glued to the floor. The only move that works well here is Scorpion's spear, and it's so smooth in its execution that it becomes the best way of landing cheap hits.

3384 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it would be unfair to pass this game by as another resident evil rip off because, although the basic premise is the same it is actually a very different game in every respect. And with the exception of 2, dino crisis easily excels any of the resident back catalogue.
1= Very good
376 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have been a fan of the whole of the Clay Fighter series and i have to say that i am slightly disappointed with this one. The graphics are okay, there are plenty of characters to choose from, but i think that it is far to easy and that the game had been rushed. The price is excellent and i recommend to everyone that you get this as the price of this game won't be around for long. If you want the best fighting game on the N64 then i wouldnt recommend this, but if you want some fun then this is the game for you
Graphically, however, Final Fantasy VIII is a milestone for the Playstation. While it's environments can be a little grainy, its character models are very beautiful and actually very human like. The game doesn't look smooth, however, and some of the art design doesn't look as good as other Final Fantasy games past or present. It's a visual looker, having some incredibly detailed towns and dungeons and even some incredible looking spell effects and limit breaks (as well as some top notch FMV sequences) but it doesn't always set the mood the way previous installments have. As much as some may not like to hear it: Final Fantasy VII was a greater visual achievement. Final Fantasy VIII is incredible to look at, but some of its visuals just look a bit sloppier.

8499 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game many many moons ago, and enjoyed it immensely. I am now in the market for a game comparable in fun that compares to it. I played Final Fantasy Tactics, and didn't enjoy it nearly as much - the entire system seemed much more complicated and difficult than Vandal Hearts. I also played Kartia, and it too was inferior with it's paper-scissors-rock combat system.
1927 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can be said about Resident Evil 2 that hasn't already been said already? Well, a lot of people have said a lot of things about this game, so this is just my personal experience about this game.
A must buy
6554 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought it for a friend and watched him play it and it looked like something I would have fun playing. I would like to thank the seller. I'd recommend this game to anybody who watched Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and/or Xena: Warrior Princess.
146 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Anyone who has ever played a flight sim can tell this is not like A10-warthog just by reading the info on the game. This is an arcade type game with some sim stuff add to make it sell more and be kind of fun and fast to play. Sometimes we all just want to blow the (blank) out of things and unwind. This is fairly well made and the graphics are ok for what it is(a game).

5574 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game, disks are in great shape.
9550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item arrived on time and as described. Would purchase from again. Thanks!
You do get tired of laying down tracks all the time, and have to zoom in and out.
Cons:
4414 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 On paper Hellfire seems like a great idea. Take a really good game, add a couple additional levels, quests, items and monsters, put in a couple of new classes, and bam: instant winner.
Fortunately for you arcade Pac lovers out there, there's also Ms. Pac-Man in the mix. However, considering Ms. Pac-Man was eventually re-released for the SNES, with bunches of new features that made the game a bigger blast than the arcade original, it takes some of the fun out of this port, which doesn't have any of those features. You just simply play as is. Ms. Pac-Man is still a fun game on here, but I'd rather recommend getting the standalone SNES version, which makes one of the greatest games of all time that much better.
2249 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This product is unreliable third-party hardware. I suggest you buy the official Nintendo Expansion Pak that will NOT ruin your N64 like the one on this page is said to do. If you value the life of your console and games, use the official Pak and not the generic hardware advertised on this page. Most people won't notice by looking at the picture, but the official Nintendo Pak has a circle pattern in the red top portion unlike the parallel slits in this image. If you aren't familiar with the official Pak, it is very easy to see the image and think it's the official thing. Make sure you either purchase one on Ebay where you can see the pictures of the actual item you're purchasing. Or read the Amazon Seller's item description very carefully before buying to make sure they explicitly claim you are buying the official Nintendo brand Pak.
5316 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I am totally at a loss for this game. On one hand it has so many original idea's in terms of both plot and gameplay (And has the closest thing to a sim dating game we'll probably ever see), but the way you actually play it leaves me at a loss for words. It's not that the battle system makes no sense, or is bad even, it's the leveling up that confuses me. You don't get stronger when you level up. Your defense gets weaker when you level up. You get more health but you seem to loose more health at the same token too. I'm am at a loss that the creaters of this game could make so many good idea's and make them so poor because they can't figure out commen sense when it comes to leveling up.
The Nintendo 64 controller, with its analog stick, makes it possible for Mario to perform the tasks successfully. (Just imagine travelling in a 3D world with a D-pad.) Some people complain about the camera angles and how you have to control them with the C-button. It may be annoying at first, but eventually you'll get used to it, and it'll come naturally, and you'll learn to play with the bad angles.
865 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games out there, it's a classic. Banjo-Kazooie is one of the rarest and hard to find games ever, The story is really good. A witch kidnaps a beautiful girl and wants to be the prettiest of them all. Her brother and his pal Kazooie have to save her. While its a relatively easy it can still be hard in some places and there are cheat codes to help you along the way with things like Gold feathers, Red feathers and Eggs. However if you quit and save your game then the cheat has to be reentered. While the game does have it's flaws its still really fun to play. The game essentially is very easy next to its sequel game, Banjo Tooie. The levels all relatively easy, however it is very easy to die in this game, on top of that like other reviewers on Amazon have said about dying and losing notes and recollecting them is toldly true. Clarkers Cavern was the worst because you only have 6 things of air and have to get extra air, from a fish blowing bubbles. The level that is the most challenging of them all was Click Clock Wood. Because of going from the changing seasons and having to grab notes from all seasons that was tough for me. However the most challenging and difficult part of this game, is beating Grunty herself. That is the most challenging part of this game. because you have to hit her with eggs and unfortunately its a huge flaw on Rare's part for not putting a homing shooter like they do in the sequel game. Overall despite it's many flaws Nintendo and Rare have done an excellent job making a game that is graphically pleasing, and the gameplay is awesome. Buy it you won't regret it.
2117 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Syphon Filter trilogy set the standard to what the arcade style military third person shooter was to be on that generation of console. Whether you're an old school collector or someone thats looking to properly emulate old school games on a PC this game is one every good boy and girl should have.
3246 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Capcom continues to make great fighting games, but this time out with Power Stone they create something special. Power Stone was one of the first Dreamcast games out for the Dreamcast and helped make the system worth buying. You can go anywhere, grab anything, and then beat the hell out of your opponent. Its a great game, the only problem is that there is so much going on during the game you can lose your concentration at times, but thats the only flaw. Otherwise, its a great game.
I think The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is even better than most playstation and playstation 2 games! It is just that good to me.

2716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's kind of hard to tell RPG players the appeal of Lunar when other games have more stellar graphics, more complicated storylines and deeper gameplay systems. While some of the older games from the SNES era are considered RPG classics despite very outdated looks, it's strange trying to do the same for Lunar since it wasn't quite as big or as mass-appealing. While yes graphically and storyline wise, this isn't exactly Vagrant Story or even Final Fantasy stuff, there was always an appeal to the Lunar games that made you forget about it and just enjoy it anyway.
9377 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FIRST OF ALL: If you are turned off from buying this game because you don't have an experimental super-processor and a mountain of RAM, don't fret. I run the game on a 450 MHz PIII and 128 MB RAM and it's smooth as silk (at the lowest, but still gorgeous, graphics level). If you have the bare minimum hardware, it's very worth it to give it a try.
TM3 & TM4 all had the same flaw, the cars seem to gang up on you and not fight each other where as in this game it is full on mayhem going on the whole time. What's worse in TM3 the computer opponents would puss out when they had a quarter of a life bar left and steal your health power up which is BS. I would highly recommend this game to anyone 10 and older.
In brief, The Legend Of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time is an excellent game. If you own an N64 and have not already picked this game up, I strongly suggest you do. If you do not even own an N64, than the system's worth picking up just for this one game and its semi-sequal Majora's Mask.
The game is dependant on your ability to craft darts or find bullets to kill the enemys of the game. You will never have enough ammo to march through the compound and kill every enemy. You will need to run, close doors, operate lazer gates, and ect to get through this game.
GOOD:
4076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without a doubt,this is the best computer game you will ever buy. Don't hesitate to buy it,and yes it's worth way more than the Sims(not in money).The player runs his or her own theme park. Choose a location from the list at the beginning of the game,there are also heaps more locations to...as Nintendo would put it..unlock,as you reach your objectives. Build everything from icecream stores to merry go rounds to rollercoasters. It is a really cute game,watch your guests eat,race go carts and hit golf balls. You may also hire entertianers,like giant pandas and decorate your rides with vibrant colour! Loopy Landscape is a valuable extension to the game,adding more rides,locations(way more!!),coloirs,entertainers,well more everything!!Whoever made this game is really clever and there is great attention to detail. This is a game addictive to people of ALL ages.
7933 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I missed the original Mortal Kombat in arcades, and was introduced to the series through word-of-mouth about how violent the title was. Really if this was the only version I'd played, I would've never gussed what all the hype was about.
The game is unique in its concept. We never really had a maritime ship simulation that wasn't centrally focused on war and sinking other ships :). This one happens to be just peace-time shipping simulation with different kinds of detailed ships ranging from cargo, to passenger, to rescues, to towing, to even trying to alter history by succesfully sailing Titanic to New york on its first maiden voyage etc. The game creator has gone to great details to simulate as much as possible the Intricacies of piloting as well as managing huge ships operations. Any aspiring sea captian or sea salt will identify with some if not most aspects of piloting a ship as simulated in this game. But to me thats where all the goodies end.

4. teaming up with multiple comrades during some fight sequences is fun.
2721 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok.. I'll be honest here. I read couple reviews and sensing that this game is 'bit' over-rated. (I sense people who wrote reviews frowning) I did finish this game and trust me, I had lot of expectation for this game. I haven't played the Sega CD version of it and actually blamed one of the reviewers from EGM, who gave 8.5 when rest of them gave 9 or higher. I thought this game deserves at least 9, I mean, look at the animation, the title animation is one of the most well-represented animated beginning ever, and the music was just amazing. I was constantly humming the tune because it was so, so, SO GOOD- couldn't help myself from humming it all the time. Not only that, Working Design did a fantastic/excellent job on putting in all the extra you are getting with this game, it's simply amazing- I'm left with no choice but to give credit for that. However, after I finish the game, I realized that I came to conclusion too soon, when I did play only beginning portion of the game, mesmerized with beautifully animated movie scene.
d)Summon Materia: lets you summon characters such as Ifrit or Shiva
9480 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really liked this game. Totally different from all the other mario games. In this one you're yoshi the whole time, and you have to keep mario in your sight the whole game. You use a throwing method in this to get eggs and other things you need in the game. It takes a little while to get use to. This game is really different from the rest. I say this because of the egg throwing you need to do. You need to line your shots and hope you shoot the angle or thing your shooting at. The pros of this game is you always bank time and what the time is for is when mario gets knocked out of your grasp and you have to go back and save him. The con is mario is very annoying with a baby cry everytime you lose him. Over all this is a great game and its one you have to own especially if your into mario games. You get a lot of game play with it. It's worth the buy.
7473 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game created a whole new level and a whole new idea of gaming. With outstanding graphics and on-the-edge-of-your-seat gaming and missions this game was an instant classic. Althought they could add a 3-d gun to this first person shooter it lacks no other flaws. This game is a great great game. Your a swat team leader and it's your mission to rescue the hostages and it's tailed with amazing cinemas and great gameplay. BUY THIS!
The audio, video, and play mechanics in the original Crash trilogy are spot on. These games still look, sound and play great today. They're a very few of the only original PSone games I can bare to look at, let alone play anymore. The look is perfect with bright colors and varied enviornments and the music and sounds are catchy and perfect for each stage. These games have aged extremely well and are a real tribute to the developers at Naughty Dog.
I will ALWAYS remember the original Panzer Dragoon. It has outdated graphics, a beautiful orchestral score, and it's hard. But that's the stuff that nostalgia is made of. I'll probably be playing Panzer Dragoon games until the day I die, clutching them in my cold, dead hands.
This game is intuitive for the beginner, but is it really ever mastered? For me, this is the go-to version of Tetris!
Some of the puzzels are difficult, but are solveable.
The thing about this game is that soon it gets boring so what you do is be creative in killing your enemies. For example: Level 2 or something, where you meet these hairy beasts haha, wow, anyways what I do is, they are locked in this room with some guys. So what I do is run in, save up my guns, and run around and open the cages and let them handle those guys. Afterwards you let the two beasts fight each other to save ammo. Trick is to not let them see you and don't disturb them while they are fighting each other. And in the first level I love killing the smaller robots with my own ship. Suicidal style.

How often do you need to push crates in real life to get from one area to another?
2115 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Syphon Filter is a good 3rd person shooter with stealth elements. People have to remember that this was one of the early 3d games that tried to incorporate stealth elements, so it is not as smooth as some of today's games, but it is still pretty well done in my opinion. The game has its flaws, but was a very fun game and the difficulty was just right. Not too easy and the boss fights were pretty sweet and did require multiple attempts on my part. I have the disc version for the PS1, so I cannot comment on the digital version.
443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best fighting games of all time! Definitely a timeless classic 1 2 and 3 are by far the best in the series!
I recently re-read some of the previous Nintendo Powers reviews of this game hyping it up as being as good as Final Fantasy series....that was a selling/promotional point more than anything else, since as the first editorial writer above said, "Quest 64 sinks in too many areas: (to paraphrase him).
Gameplay: This fighting game is unlike any other fighting game you'll ever play. I say that because you get to fight as dinosaurs and giant apes, how cool is that ? In this game you play as one of seven dinossaurs/apes (five dinosaurs and 2 apes to be exact). You can either play as Diablo, a hellish looking T-rex, Blizzard, a cold blooded killer ape, Sauron, a crazy telepathic T-rex, Talon, a crazy fast and deadly raptor, Vertigo, the poisonous long necked dino, Chaos, a crazy King kong like ape, and Armadon, a vicious crazy triceratops. Well, just like any other fighting game you got your basic moves like you got your high and low attacks. But, instead of punching and kicking like humans do, in Primal Rage you get to tail whip, bite, slash with your claws, and kick slash with your claws too. Mixing some of those moves up add up to some deadly combos. If you do these fast enough you can make your enemy brain dead for a couple of seconds which means they can't move and it's your chance to get more attacks on your opponent which is very helpful. Each character has there own special moves like Blizzard has his Ice breath attack, and Chaos with his weird fart bubble attack which is weird but cool, Sauron has his telekinetic force field, Diablo has his fireball attack which is pretty rad and those are just some of the cool special moves you can pull off. After you have beaten your opponent in two rounds, you can choose to humilliate them by performing a finishing move on them. (like a fatality on mortal kombat). For example, Sauron's Crusher, he just jumps really high in the air and then he just stomps on corpse and turns it into mushy guts. It's a pretty awesome finishing move. Primal Rage has a 2-player versus mode which is pretty fun to whoop your friends at.
1630 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got this game today. I remember playing this game when I was younger. I was a better ninja back then. :D I am a little rusty, and horrible at stealth now, compared to when I was younger. I miss this game so much, I bought it. Thanks, for sending it in earlier than expected! :D
The story begins on a darker note...the town of Tristram, the very location of the first battle with Diablo has been stricken with a terrible fate, as the very hero who defeated him seems to be harboring a great curse...and as he travels eastward, this 'Dark Wanderer' leaves behind him a wake of evil, spreading throughout the lands.

Thanks to Sony for adding this game to the greatest hits and re-releasing it. I was fortunate to grab it when it came out. That's the trend from Squaresoft - get the games when they come out because after that you won't be able to find it anywhere. So get this game the instant you see it available and you can just kiss your family good bye for about a month because you'll want to lock yourself in your room playing this game.
3632 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came with everything, and no scratches. Looked like it was bran new. Really happy with the quality of my product.
943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has been deemed the best-made game of all-time, and even though it's going on 15 years since its release, I can't disagree.
2668 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have 'flown' regularly for almost 4 years on AirWarrior, using the same stick (non-USB model). It works as well as it did on day #1. The Microsoft site has an updated Win98 control panel for programming the stick (fast, free and easy download) painlessly. It is bullet-proof.
7482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best real life simulation combat game I've played (well not 100% realistic but it's as close as it gets, i guess). Actually it's the best game I've played, period. I tried Rainbow 6 once but didn't like it: too complex and took too much time to plan and set up a mission. This one is awesome: missions are already planned and all you have to do (if you want) is just plunge in the action. On the other hand if you like you can reject the default plan and come up with your own. Moving around is soooo much easier than with rainbow 6: you can move crouched and peek around corners and these are both great enhancements. I use them a lot and saved my posterior in more than one risky occasion. And of course there's "terrorist hunt": you can replay a mission with thirty baddies around and no hostages: it's the ultimate shootout-hunting match. It's worth every penny it costs! GOOD JOB GUYS!
7901 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good
3962 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 HOFD2 Is Awesome.
5873 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this is the worst final fantasy game gameplay wise without a doubt. not only is the learning curve hours, but after that, you have to spend hours getting magic from the enemies to use and equip. This game graphic wise looks like it has been in work for a lifetime, and the FMV looks like PS2 or DC. the gameplay looks like it was made in a lifetime too, and that is a BAD thing.
you play as a dinosaur hunter and you basicly kill hunters and
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is one of those games that I could NEVER ever quit playing, even if I wanted to. So stop reading this already and get this game!! Sadly, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe isn't currently available for download on the Nintendo 2DS/3DS, but it would be very nice if it was. :)
3634 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game, I have ever since it came out. The characters are great and classic. Ever since I was young, I have been in love with the Tekken series. Brings back a lot of good memories. I bought this game to bring back the memories and the fun. Though the graphics aren't as top notch at games these days are, but it's still an entertaining game to play. If you collect either Tekken stuff or video games, this is a must own. Don't miss out on this game, before you know it, it will be gone.
Nintendo would continue to release similar games on their other portable systems as it proved to be successful with critics and gamers alike. If you like puzzle games and/or are a fan of the original arcade game, you had to pick this up. If you haven't played it, it is worth searching for a copy so do it as soon as possible.
5211 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Originally attracted by the box, which you've got to admit is one of the best-looking around, I'd been thinking of buying Revenant for ages but considered it vastly overpriced (unlike Black Isle games, which seem to drop in price by at least half when they've been out for a remarkably short while). Recent lower pricing (along with the long wait for the release of Baldur's Gate 2) saw me grabbing a copy, loading it up and setting off on a short, but immensely enjoyable quest. It turned out to be a great time filler.
6235 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its perfect seriously there aren't any scratches. Thanks
9223 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent Graphics and good story plot its the ultimate shoot em up! This game make other 1st person shooting games amatuerish by comparison.
Of course, all games have their down-sides. This one doesn't have much to pick on, but there are a few little things. First, the graphics aren't that great. The fog's there for a reason - they can't render 3d objects more than a few yards away from you.
Graphically, "Golden Eye 007" was a marvel to look at...when it was first released. Nowadays, when compared to games like "Metal Gear Solid 2" for the PS2 and "Dead or Alive 3" for the X-Box, "Golden Eye" looks like a SNES game. Because cartridges are limited in space, textures can be bland, character models look blocky, and detail is kept to a passable minimum. But anyone who doesn't care about graphics, as long as they are good enough and the gameplay is excellent, shouldn't have any trouble with "Golden Eye".
-Storyline- FF8's storyline is a great, romantic yarn that is the highlight of the game. However, the pacing of the story is very uneven, which leads to some stretches of boring-ness. Also, I'd say some of the characters are undeveloped as far as their backgrounds go, when compared to games like FF6.
573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thank you for having this game and in its good condition
So basically, buy this game. Good by yourself, even better multiplayer. Nothing beats a load of other people crowding round your computer screen while you kick their butts!!
Graphics A
If you go in expecting a conventional Mario title, you will be disappointed. "Yoshi's Island" makes "Super Mario Bros. 2" look like a straight up, traditional Mario title in comparison, it's that different.
Calling Castlevania: SOTN simply a nastalgia trip, while true in my case, would degrade the value of the game. It is an excellent and addictive game that satisfies on almost every level. It ranks among the best games for the Playstation, and you sould expect to pay a hefty price for a copy. It is now super-rare.
2867 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since this was released i'v heard non-stop complaints about this game from PC owners about the N64 port. Yes, it has some censorship (The Strippers don't strip). Maybe the graphics weren't as good? But for many of us, this was our only option of playing this game. Not everyone had PC's capable of playing games like Duke 3-D back in the late 90's, so this was our best option. And Hot Damn! I got my money's worth out of this game! Not only is the single player tons of fun and have so much replay value. But the multi-player as well. Endless hours of death match w/my friends & I. It seems like (especially in the 90's) that PC gamers would get mad anytime a port of "their" games made it to the consoles. "The graphics aren't good enough, the sound sucks, the gameplay engine is broken" ect ect. Duke, Doom, Myst, Quake....I heard it a million times. But IMO opinion, the ports were a way for the rest of us to experience these games. And I was glad to have em'!
5513 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For Christmas of 1997, I received a Nintendo 64 and one game, Rush 2. I played it every day, never getting tired of it. I realize now that it is the best game I own. I still play it hours and hours. The graphics are AWESOME and the control is wonderful. There is a two-player mode, so you can play with a freind. There isn't, however, a 3 or 4-player mode. There are about 12 cars to choose from, and you can earn 4 different cars. I have played Rush, and it STINKS! Anyone who has the money should not even think about not buying it. Buy it today!
2359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Game that Started it All, this and the Blue Version, the Yellow Version came Later on." Copy of the game works well and the save feature also works. It transfers to the pokemon stadium on N64 without a problem. Would recommend this seller. Thank You! "This was considered one of the greatest RPGS of all time." My son loves it!
4018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game because my sister and I wore out the first Roller Coaster Tycoon disc we had. Arrived promptly and works great
So give Contact a try and play it through straight forward or take the path less travelled and take your time through it. Either way its a journey that's worth taking and a well done game in its own right...thanks Atlus!!
2899 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game started it all for me. It was the game that made me really love getting caught up in the story of a video game.
GAMEPLAY: Strategy games can sometimes be synonymous with "difficult". And believe me, this game IS difficult. BUT NOT TO LEARN! Someone definitely had their hat on right when they made the intuitive battle system. Move, Act, or Wait are your three primary commands, and they become second-nature within an hour. Also, one can equip their characters with many pieces of equipment. This sounds tedious, but there is a nice feature called a "Fitting Room" that makes all the boredom of "Buy, Exit Menu, Equip, Go back to store, Sell" so much simpler. But what makes the game difficult are the battles. Some are ridiculously easy, but others will require some leveling up in the field, first. FFT brings back the Job system that was in FF5, allowing for a more-than-generous amount of customizability.
What can I say, rivalries are fun.
Roller Coaster Tycoon an extremely fun amusement park simulator. You can design your own parks and rides, set your prices, and attend to your guests needs.
8751 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Metroid that works... what more to say?! :D
343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At 6 feet and at 4 dollars each its a good deal, ive seen some other cables for much more and these work just fine, i like that they're black and they connect into the controller with ease. buy it with confidence.
7053 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this cheap at a pawn shop. Figured if it wasn't any good then not a big loss. It's one of the best Nintendo 64 games I have though. Well worth the six dollars I paid for it.
1738 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 THIS IS A LITTLE SUPERIOR TO ITS PLAYSTATION VERSION. THE GRAPHICS ARE BETTER, THE CONTROLS ARE A LITTLE BETTER, AND IT'S A LITLE MORE FUN. THIS IS A GREAT GAME. AND I THINK THIS SHOULD PLEASE ALL MORTAL KOMBAT FANS. IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR NINTENDO 64 AND YOU DON'T HAVE THIS GAME, GET IT NOW!
And what's with the story? Some giant floating island or something? Why does K Rool have such a loathing for the Kongs? WHy doesn't he just butcher them instead of placing them in unguarded, easily escapable places???? Rare really messed up on this one. The sound isn't all that awesome (the DK rap, what the heck was that?), and the graphics were bleh; this thing required the 4mb expansion? Banjo Kazooie looked twice as good.
6802 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was released on November 24, 1992, to universal acclaim. Not only did SEGA fix the pacing of the game's predecessor (every level seems just as fast paced as the last), but they got rid of what is now dubbed the "Speed Cap", meaning sometimes, Sonic can outrun the screen. A "Super Sonic Spin Dash" has also been added, which allows you to rev up in place to gain speed to climb those pesky slopes, or beat your friend Tails in a race. Oh yeah, there's multiplayer! Using the second controller port, a second player can control series newcomer Miles"Tails" Prower, a two-tailed fox who can fly... only when the AI uses him. And there is a two player Vs. Splitscreen race to the finish between Sonic and Tails! All in all, most players will probably feel the need to hunt down Dr. Ivo Robotnik and defeat him once again. But he has a new weapon up his sleeve... the obviously not insoired by Star Wars Death Egg! And don't forget to collect those rings! Collect 50 and pass a checkpoint, you'll try to win a Chaos Emerald. Collect them all for a very nice bonus from Sonic Team and Sega (mixed with a little DBZ)
The good?
I have spent countless hours playing the game, swearing at my TV and coming back for more. I love the no holds barred aspect of the game every car vs every other car. Who doesn't love blowing up Sweet Tooth or Twister. Each character had their own unique abilities advantages and disadvantages. There are so many ways to destroy your opponents and it is very satisfying to get revenge on someone who just blew you up.
3) Optional Great graphics on powerful computers, optional great performance on slower computers
And of course, flame enemies!
3230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is just as perfect as the arcade version. However, I did find that the music is a bit hyped up comparing to the arcade. Too bad there isn't really any new secrets in the game. The only thing I still don't like is that out of all the versus series, Marvel vs Capcom has the worsest looking energy bars for your fighters. The dreamcast control pad isn't too great for this game either especially when you try to do striders 6 hit chain combo from jab-roundhouse. Still, just don't let the controls bother you and if you are willing to spend $60 for the arcade stick then this game is definetly for you.
I bought & played this game back when I was on Win95 (use WinXPpro now) and I had no problems whatsoever. This game was fun, exciting, creepy, and kept me wanting more. Even after I found things I needed in places, I was still curious to search more and just poke around. The stories were sad and haunting, but so entertaining. I was VERY dissapointed that this was so short and I have been searching for a similiar game ever since, with no luck at all :(
It sounds like a typical third person action game, but there's so much more to this game.
5965 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 buy it. period.
REAL CHOICE IN CHARACTER GENERATION: Simply put, you can't have a character that can do it all, even with huge amounts of experience. Hence, you've gotta make some hard choices, and play those out. The game is very different depending on whether you choose to play a smooth talker, a stealthy type, or a combat machine.
3108 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VII is easily one of my favorite games of all time. No game before it and no game since then has managed to pull me so deeply into the story and have me hanging on every word like this one did. The characters, the music, the graphics, the story... it's all golden.
The Good News: Where quake has failed, GT has triumphed on every level. It doesn't get much better than this.
9945 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A true arcade classic and a true classic on the Genesis as well. While its a bit scaled down when compared directly with the Arcade version's graphics/sound, however, the soundtrack to the Genesis/Megadrive is superior. The individual who composed the music for this game did a very good job. Its also about one of the few areas where this version beats the SNES version which has really good graphics for a 16-bit version. This game is very easy to figure out, particularly the first few stages. The third stage is a bit tougher, just rememmber to focus on the HK air's (flying machines) and not the endoskeletons. You have a decent amount of weapons in this game, the first half of the game you have a particle beam rifle that you can upgrade with plasma energization, where in the later levels you could upgrade your basic rapid fire weapon to a gattling gun. Your secondary weapon also changes from a rocket launcher in the begining of the game to a shotgun. This game is a lot of fun, and its really fun with 2 players. The only really flaw of this game is it is FREAKIN hard. There are a few stages that I swear are impossible or, just so hard I haven't had the time or patience to figure out why I haven't beatin it yet. Though this is a really awesome game, and so is its SNES counterpart.
Basically, this premise works, and supplies hours of good, addictive fun. There's a lot of replay value as well, since you can take a different approach to each game. The graphics are (still, even in 2003) pleasant and communicative, and the sound is mostly good. The scenarios are pretty challenging without (for the most part) being crushingly hard, and the three levels of victories encourages replay as you try to "go for the gold".
MGS is all about sneaking around,if you get caught its better to use a stun grenade and run in the earlier parts of the game cause you will die fast!
This is the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy VII.
The other deficiency is in the very short single player campaign. The Sprawler campaign only has ten missions, whereas most strategy games give each side at least 15 missions. I suspect that either Pandemic is relying on players to create their own missions, or they're going to release an expansion pack. Nevertheless, that's no excuse for creating such a short single player game.
2224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 you get what you came for, its an expansion pak to play larger n64 games and it makes all your other n64 games run smoother. N64 looks cool now that its got a red hood ornament haha
6830 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the greatest video games ever, and there are only a handful of those. It has to be the first video game I ever played, and also the video game I played for the longest time. It kept me entertained for years, no other video game I had lived up to my expectations as this game did (other than Road Rash 2, Super Mario Bros, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles). Like Sonic 2 isn't cool enough already, there's also 2-player. And 2-player mode isn't just a small addition, either-it's just as fun as single player. Sure, there are only four small stages for 2-player, but those four stages pack a real fun punch. The new special stages are also funner than the special stages in Sonic 2's prequel. Although Tails can't exactly use his ability of flight, it's still pretty fun if you play with a friend, because Tails can really help Sonic. He can make the boss fights easier, he can kill badniks before Sonic can devastatingly crash into them, and he can also collect those rings that Sonic doesn't want to get because he doesn't want to destroy his ring total. This game is purely amazing, and I think it's more of a classic than the first in the series, the one and only Sonic the Hedgehog. Out of all of the Sonic characters out there, Tails and Knuckles had to have the most awesome debuts. I actually still play this game from time to time-it just never gets old. Sometimes, I don't even have words to describe how fun it really is.
8425 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game I owned it once now buying back retro games for my kids to enjoy! Brings back lots of fun memories
8510 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This and every other Street Fighter game ever made is overrated garbage. I can't believe how much people used to like this game. I've always hated Street Fighter. I think it was because I have always been a diehard Mortal Kombat fan,and since Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have always been,and always will be rivals,I have,and will always,side with Mortal Kombat. MK had everything that this game did not. SF had dull cartoon-looking characters,while MK's characters were digitized and looked very realistic. SF was also more for kids,while MK blew everybody away with it's over-the-top violence and buckets of blood n gore. The gameplay was also so much better in MK as well,compared to SF II.Overall,If you want a REAL fighting game for your Genesis,get the Mortal Kombat games,and don't bother wasting your time and money on this or any other Street Fighter game for that matter.
The dialogue is also some of the best I have seen in computer RPG's so far, long and detailed descriptions. Almost like having a Gamemaster in front of you instead of a computer. The graphics are somewhat gritty, but that only makes the mood stronger as the it fits the style of the game just perfect.
6930 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game but I like it more on PS1
8986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GAME, ACTUALLY THIS WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY NEPHEW. HE IS ENJOYING THIS GAME SO MUCH THAT HE IS NOT SHARING WITH HIS SISTERS NOR ME. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN
While it's been said millions of times before, Sonic really set itself apart from the other platformers out there for its fast speed. While this game series isn't Ninja Gaiden-level difficult, Sonic's speed really makes a gamer refine his or her motor skills and hand-eye coordination to make precise jumps and to jump or run all at the right times. Despite the fact that this game is famed for being fast, there are some spots in the game where you have to slow down to properly avoid certain obstacles, which I don't really have a problem with since I think it's these little "breaks" that add just the right amounts of variation in gameplay to keep from getting monotinous.
Sound: 8/10
512 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From the Great Wall of China to the canals of Venice, Tomb Raider II is the rare case in which a sequel is better than an original. In fact, I find this game to be my favorite of the series. In it the legendary Lara Croft sets out to find the Dagger of Xion. In her quest she navigates the globe, and even takes a couple of trips to strange and magical new worlds.
Oh.. I almost forget... you can activate a cheat that will allow you to perform fatalities just by pressing one button when the finishing time comes; the great thing is that, you can have both the 2 fatality moves + the stage fatalities... all at the same time. I remember this cheat in MK4 allowed you to choose only one option out of three, either fatality 1 or 2, or the stage fatalities. With MK Gold you can have all three options available.
9775 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome!!!
Grandia 2: Story
2432 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great
5335 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I barely play my Gameboy anymore due to lack of games this good. I have played so many hours of this, it's been such a fun thing to do busy on trips and stuff. Anyway, i don't need to review it, it rules. Buy this and the pokemon games (the RPGs, not the other stuff)
Shenmue: Considered one of the best games ever made, with graphics that hold up well even today
even today where there are games with better graphics.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2
In addition to the missions there are a bunches of ready made scenarios and maps in the Custom Scenario section ready to play. I suspect these were not in the original version, but since I don't have any documentation, I can't say for sure.
5797 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the most popular playstation game character's has arrived again with another great tomb raider game. This is one of my favourite games and is definitely one of the hardest games on playstation. This is the last and hardest tomb raider game on playstation. It has excellent 3d graphics and realistic backgrounds.
1734 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Disc was scratched and won't play properly on my son's PS3.
3064 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had heard about the FF series but never paid too much attention to it mainly because I didn't have a PS, fast foward to a couple of years and I was trying to get some games for my PS2 library I fell upon FFX let me just say I was blown away and I think the FF bug bit me hard, I bought X-2 and told everyone I got it for my sis. Then talking with other FF Fantics they told me about VII. I haven't finished it yet that is why I gave it a 4 star review but it is awesome so far. Love the scene where Cloud has the Motorcycle. Despite the age of this game it really does stand the test of time and personally I agree with belledandy about doing a remake I'd probably be the first person to buy it too. For people considering buying this game, believe me when I say it is 'worth every penny you spend on it' If you are a fan of RPGs or of games on the whole, it's great, I really don't care if people call it the best game ever or not all I know is that since I have started playing it I can't put it down and my family and friends do feel neglected.
The World Tour mode. This was a great addition to Street Fighter. Some say it's been ripped off from Soul Edge or Soul Caliber, but considering how badly other games have ripped off Street Fighter over the years (all the SF clones on the SNES, and even Tekken rips off the characters now), I don't think that argument can stand. This mode allows you to choose a character and go on a world tour, fighting lots of matches with different stipulations, such as super combos only, multiple opponents, etc. As you do this, your character raises levels and gains new abilities, perhaps being able to use some abilities that his fighting style would not normally allow. You also gain the ability to change your balance of power, making your character lean more toward offense to hit harder, or defense to take less damage, or remain neutral.
8275 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. You really cant go wrong with the Mega Man franchise.
the rooster is cool but has very hard handling
1173 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For all those of you that have followed the lineage of Zelda from its early days on the classic 8-bit system, and onward to its SNES days with "A Link to the Past" (great game), and loved every second of it, then you have to buy this game! For those of you that have never played any other Zelda game, what are you waiting for? Now is a great time to start.
This is my favorite game of all time, need some insight? Check out the review on ign or read up some of the other reviews (400+ reviews!).
Graphically RE 3 is as good as RE 2. It's as detailed, and lush as before. The intro is strangely disappointing, being lo-res and choppily animated - the PlayStation 1's power is being overused. The sound is good, though, and the gameplay is the best possible version of an imperfect control system.
Highest recommendations.
4410 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good descent ww1 sim, but we must remember this sim is old, so the graphics are not going to be the best in the world. It's sort of a classic. The planes probably handled the same as they did during that particular time.
3999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I agree. I have bought many games and I have found "Tribes" to be one of the best. With hundreds of servers, great graphics,and gameplay how could you go wrong?
Best heard on the Krazy Kremland levels
9898 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sonic & Knuckles(1994). The fourth Sonic game on the Genesis (or 2nd half of the third, if you prefer to call it that).
There are hidden characters and a large variety of arena's from many different Nintendo games to battle in. There are several aweosme modes to play in, including Battle mode, training mode and even a bonus mode! In addition, there are several items you can pick up to fight your opponents an to help restore your health. There are swords, fire flowers, lasers, a magic star wand, red and green shells, tomatoes to restore damage percentage, a super baseball bat and explosive barrels. There are also falling Snorlax's (giant Pokemon) that fall out of the sky and try to land on you.
The races are still even, regardless of what you may have read in some other reviews. Also, all the new units are useful, IMO, except the Dark Archon and Templar (but I'm not a very avid Toss player). Medics make fields of marines and firebats that much more of an annoyance, whereas lurkers will cut infantry down in seconds. Corsairs are quick to fire and good against smaller groups (and their disruption web is awesome when playing a terran tanker), whereas the Valkyrie is amazing for, say tons of Mutas. And the devourers spores help slow down the enemy fire.
All in all, if you're one of those people who still plays on the N64 (like me) this is a good game (pretty cheap too) to have.
There are 2 power-ups in the game that Spyro can obtain. The first is a super charge ability, gained by running on super charge tracks. These are used very effectively to find some well-hidden secrets. The other isn't as apparent, but it is still fun. It is a super flame that is granted by a fairy. This ability allows Spyro to burn metal objects and enemies, along with making him red. Both are fun and well used.
Unfortunately, the rest of Star Ocean's elements aren't quite up to par when compared to the hustle and bustle of battle. Graphically, Star Ocean is behind the times no matter where you turn (excluding the FMV's). Actually, the game's graphic engine is very simular to a 1998 Square-Enix title, the often overlooked and bashed-to-no-end SaGa Frontier (one of my favorites - yes, I'm serious). The fact the game uses most of the same graphical tricks empolyed by a game two years earlier underlines this fact.
4728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Baldurs Gate redefines, and completes the lack of roleplaying games recently. I can't remember last time I played a good role playing game on my PC. I must say that games like Zelda, and other "role playing" games, are quite good. But for the hardcore experience of role playing, as true to real role playing as possible, you have to have a PC to make it work.
Of all the new features, my favorite is the new CoOperative Missions option. That's right, now you can complete a level as a team via split-screen during what would normally be a solo mission. (Imagine how much easier this would have made the Control Room mission in GoldenEye, with an extra person to watch your back and Natalia's!). Likewise, you can play ConterOperative missions as well, and play against each other during a mission. This is just as much fun as normal multiplayer, except now you are part of the story as well.
Warning: May lead to anti-social behaviour.
Music and Sound Effects:
7822 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent
Comparing VII to IX you will be frustrated that if your character goes into trance mode (which is the limit break of VII) just before a different character kills the last remaining enemy, then that is a trance gone wasted. In Final Fantasy VII you can hold on to that limit break until you face the next boss. I understand that VIII does the same, but I cannot stand it's gil earnings system, card mechanics, or even characters. Cloud is a complex and confused character, but he's not a total d*ck like Squall. Aeris is a character you care for immediately, Red XII's personal story involving his father will bring tears to your eyes, Cid's rekindling his view of Shera changes him as a person, even Yuffie's story with her hometown and father is relatable despite the little punk stealing your materia. The way I review games is based on their performance as a game, such as what you find annoying about certain games and how the usual mechanics fair for this one. Without further ado, allow me to break it down objectively.
Graphics..
ARCADE MODE, which you can unlock characters.
This game fits together so well, you'll end up replaying again and again, to try and find all 50 Jewels (the ultimate side-quest in the game).
778 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so good! The dungeons are well thought out and a blast to play!! This game makes you use your mind and the fighting mechanics are amazing.
1105 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. I love this game. I love this game. I just got Ocarina of Time and it's been a few years since it has come out - it still rocks even in comparison to what's out now. I've had a Playstation 2 for a couple of years and have had a good game here and there, but after playing Ocarina of Time, I realize that I had forgotten the beauty of Nintendo games. They just have a special feel to them (and they make me remember the years that I was a little tike playing old Nintendo games). I just beat the game about 5 minutes ago. I certainly won't spoil anything, but I will tell you that the ending is over 30 seconds long and is something worth playing through the game to see... A video game hasn't brought me this level of satisfaction in a while. Bravo Nintendo, bravo.
However, in a few ways, the challenge has been increased from Resident Evil 2. For example, remember how slow the zombies would walk up to you in Resident Evil 2? You could practically stand next to them and blast away, and not have to worry about taking any hits. In Nemesis however, zombies are almost RUNNING at you, forcing you to turn around and allow yourself room to shoot. This is awesome, because you won't know which zombies are slow pokes and which ones are speed runners until you see one on screen. Oh, and thankfully a quick turnaround button has been included. Press down on the directional pad + the run button to turn right around. Very convenient button.
+Boss fights are challenging, but not impossible.
Another reviewer mentioned flexibility and creativity, these are the key aspects of RCT and its follow-ons. Plus it's just plain amusing.
9276 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Toy Story was an awesome movie. However, is it an awesome cash-in? Actually, the game's pretty good. As Woody, you go through 18 levels that relate to the movie and follow its storyline.
Then, there is the control. Some have complained about the control, saying it feels too "floaty". But you know what? It's a hovercraft. It's supposed to feel that way. Once you get the hang of it, you grow to love it. It took me a long, long, time to be able to play this game in first-person mode. Every time you hit the wall, the camera goes sideways, disorienting you. But once you get used to controlling the hovercraft in first-person mode, you feel like you've attained a new level of racing skill, and the game becomes that much more fun.
Even in the fog, the winged creatures may look lame but the sound of that radio cracking and knowing something is coming at you is still a jolt to the nerves.
The game has a good storyline too (well, by video game standards anyway) with excellent, action-packed cutscenes located throughout the game. If you consider yourself an action-type person, you will enjoy some of these cutscenes a LOT. I guarantee it. One of them has something to do with a helicopter, and you'll love watching it.
No use buying the other used game systems or games that take cd. It will get scratched. Kids cant scratch up cartridges. Its why I chose the Nintendo 64.
I tried to go back and play the original System Shock while I was playing this game and even though I had played and loved the original when it came out, I found the interface way too annoying now to play it. In System Shock 2, the graphics are much much better, and the interface is nice and clean -- very configurable and fairly easy to use even when I was juggling psi powers and healing hypos while backing away from an enemy.
4582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just as described, my son was very happy with this product when he opened the package. Well worth the money.
OVERALL: DK64 had a lot of hype, and it's a shame it didn't turn out since it was made by the same guys behind the Donkey Kong County, Battletoads, and Jet Force Gemini series, which were excellent gems. I played this game as a kid years ago and completed everything in the game, I really must have exaggerated greatly how fun it was back then, because I can't seem to have any courage to attempt getting everything in just level 4. While the music is descent, the graphics okay and the story shallowly good, none of those elements are what make you play a game. You play to have fun, to enjoy the universe of the characters, and to enhance you skills. I'd be able to accomplish all those things twice as much just eating a banana and watching my dad trim his nails than playing Donkey Kong 64.
This game was very succesful in capturing the nostagalistic feel of the original game while at the same time allowing me to enjoy a brand new one. Absolutely fantastic.
8383 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Every time I have bought an activision game I have loved it. But Armada is not a game like that. Its major faluts are:bugs(it crashes every few minitues) AI (the computer has yet to beat me) patches (Activision stopped makeing patches!) and that it requres a fast computer to run well. However the graphics are good and it is fun when it isn't crashing. Buy this only if you are a trekke and rich.
First off, the translation of the game seems a tad sloppy.
I like to consider Link's Awakening the last true Legend of Zelda game, since every Zelda game after it has been either in full 3D or has been some Capcom mess that just doesn't quite hit the nail on the head. If your favorite Zelda games are the Oracle pair, Minish Cap, Majora's Mask or the Windwaker/Phantom Hourglass games, this may not be for you, but for recent fans or long-time Zelda fans looking for a return to the roots of the Zelda series without being tied down to a console, this is undoubtedly the best choice.
Replay Value: This is one of those fighters that you come back to in like a week or so. The 2-player versus mode well definetly bring you back as well as the single player. All in all it's a great fighting game that should be played from time to time.
4513 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Well, I must say that I was really disappointed by this game! I got my hands on it as soon as it became avayable. Having played for interminable hours with the original Civilization game I had great expectations from this title. In the end it really turned out to be one of the worst sequels ever!
2124 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 simply awesome. if you haven't already played it, get it, you're gauranteed to love it. its the birth of spectacular stealth adventures. and you can buy it for as little as three dollars on amazon and it will play on playstation 2.
2683 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was as described and as well as clean, great product! I've been playing with it for a few weeks now and it feels nostalgic to be using a like new controller!
However it does tend to get tedious.
282 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got it and it works perfectly. Did not have to loosen to screws on the back to make it work. A great buy.
4298 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so much fun I play it too long. I would give it ten stars if possiable. I request anyone with a computer to buy this game and its add-on pack.
All in all, I can say you can't go wrong on this purchase. This is by far the best RE classic. You won't regret.
6493 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great buy
But it did work 2/5
Nice Game Fun - Easy to Play - Overall Rating 3.9 Stars.
5983 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game with good reply value, even though some do not find it. Ther is 5 ifferent characters, barbarian(run in and keep hitting untill everything is dead, drink some reds and you're fine again)
The characters of FF7 were portrayed beautifully. Another reason why FF7 had a unique character design, is because the characters had been introduced with some background information; instead of the traditional way, were they just introduce a character and that's that. The way that characters developed, in the game, also had its strong points to back up many of the games likings. The way that I first saw the game, character wise, was that each really didn't care about each other. Once the story, and overall plot thickened, the characters attitudes towards each other became more appealing.
The world map for the game is huge for its time. Starting off on Yoshi's Island, working your way to the Donut Plains, then to the Vanilla Dome, next into the Forest of Illusion, then the dangerous (but tasty) (direct quote =) ) Chocolate Island, and finally right into the domain of Bowser himself, you're guaranteed hours of playtime. But that's not all. Aside from the levels required to progress through the game, you're able to travel to the Star Road for an additional challenge. Again, that's not the end of it. After finding a hidden passage in the Star Road, you can travel to an even more hidden area hosting some of the most challenging levels in the game.
Games that require the Expansion pak to play are:
Altogether Unreal Tournament is a really exciting game that is multi-faceted and technically flawless. Its breadth, ease of use and nail-biting excitement culminates to create the most entertaining 3D shooter on the market. Forget Quake III- get Unreal Tournament. It's a winner!
There aren't too many moves to learn in Banjo Kazooie, and it didn't take me long to master them. And there aren't many control problems, actually the controls are almost perfect. But I did get frustrated with a feature that was not added in the game, I wish Banjo could hang on to ledges, there was many times in Clanker's Cavern where I could almost reach a ledge, but it was just barely out of reach because I couldn't hang on to the ledge. While yet this wasn't too big of a deal, I think that feature could of made the game a little less frustrating. I was also very pleased with camera control, there are three angles to choose from except in a few rare areas and I found it easy to maneuver.
3564 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Dreamcast was a gamer's system. Not only was it the first 128-bit system out the gate, it also built up an incredible library of games before its untimely demise. It was really the last system to feature good 2D support for fighting games such as the Street Fighter series and SNK franchises. It also was the only platform to carry the first Soul Calibur, arguably the best 3D fighting game of all time.

7349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good but not as good as DONKEY KONG (GB)
can avoid it by speeding things up to 8X time, but of course the actual aircrews were simply stuck with it. That's just the way it was!
2978 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite old game. This game can take well beyond 100 hours of game play. Many side quest like raising Choco Bos for racing. The best part for kids is that they have to read all the dialog. Lots of good cinema's.
Tomb Raider 3 is unargueably the best Tomb Raider yet, keep an eye out for the newest Tomb Raider "Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness" for Playstation2 and PC.
Many secrets
The characters were also involved and well-developed. Though I could have used some more background on some (Rinoa, for example), for the most part they were well done. Squall was a true angsty lead character that made for an interesting progression of story, and Rinoa was a good love interest for him, her personality perfect to offset his. I know people have said that they hated her, and that she was ditzy and evil, but I never saw her as that. Siefer was pure evil; I hated him to no end. Zell was just nuts, but he was a good guy. Quistis was . . . I don't really know how to describe Quistis. She was cool, but she was never really a favorite of mine. Irvine was probably my least favorite. I just didn't care about what happened to the guy. Selphie was great--she added the comic relief. I don't have as much experience with Selphie, Irvine, or Quistis, for every time the option was available--which was most all the time--I chose to play with Rinoa, Squall, and Zell. I paid for it later, but I liked them best, and by the end, they were all at very high levels and the others were down at levels like seven and eight. :-) That was very bad when I fought Ultemecia, but I prevailed, after some trying . . .
The graphics are gorgeous, however there is nowhere to explore and nothing to find.
Great selection of weapons, nice variety of levels, Huge list of characters to choose from (from the original bond movies), fun options while playing (Bobble head characters, paint ball shooting marks).
The story line to Starcraft is pretty simple. You can pick from three different races Terran, Zerg, and Protoss. In the stroyline they all have different goals they want to achieve. The terrans are the humans in the game. They have there pros and cons. They have medium range units that are pretty cheap to build and are all around pretty effective. The Zerg are the buglike species. They have cheap and quick units. The protoss are the alien species of the group. They have expensive but very powerful units.
4224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a pretty big video game fan. I usually get the hit games kind of late because I won't pay full price for them, but Starcraft is worth every penny I've spent. This game is the most addictive game I've ever played. There are so many things that make this game great and there are really no serious knocks that can be thrown at it.
8790 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing game. It was awesome to relive my childhood memories. This game is in excellent condition. Thank you!
12. N64: Sticking to the standard Nintendo story, after recovering the medallions and beating Ganon, guess what, Link saves Zelda. There's a shocker.
5964 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 D2 is a really funny game and it get's funnier on battlenet.
3629 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought mine a year ago and i am very pleased with the system. It's graphics are great and it is a lot of fun to play. But the chances are that it will now be a dying system. With Sega getting out of the hardware side means that the customer base will not grow. While more and more PSX2 get into peoples homes the same cannot be said for the DC. There maybe 70+ games still coming to the DC but as time goes on that number will deacrease. A company is not going to bother with so small a market and that is what the Dc will become. Over the last few months I have seen DC games disappearing from the local stores as they decided to drop the line. The local video stores around me have dropped Dc. Tonight I found one stores entire DC gear including the systems they rented out up for sale. The DC section had been replaced with PSX2 games. Sega will also be releasing games for the PSX2 and that alone should be saying alot for what Sega has in mind. Sega has admited defeat and will leave those that supported it high and dry. The current price is very very good. But it is consol taking it's last breaths. Was the PSX2 heaps better. I don't think so. Not from what I saw. I enjoy my DC immensly and played it for many many hours. But it's day is gone. The future is the PSX2. A shame really both for Sega and for those who bought into what they thought was a excellent alternative to the big dollar console's. Because of this I personally will not buy Sega gear in the future.
6516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it was in good condition and works fine!!
There are many pros to this game that include the vast amount of entertainment it provides with exciting items that appear randomly during battle to keep players interested. You can find poke balls to throw at other opponents, or swords and bats you can use to hit other people. It's a really fun game to play with people your own age, and its what I think to be one of the more entertaining games on the Nintendo 64.
Just so you know, I can't compare Warped to Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back because I haven't played that one. I can only compare Warped to the original Crash Bandicoot.
4882 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AT THE PRICE THESE IDIOTS ARE CHARGING, DO NOT BUY IT!!!
3832 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like sports games and find many of them are good value for money. But I have found many of the nfl games to be hard to play. If you didn't know much about the plays etc then it made it even harder. But not as much with nfl 2k, sure it helps if you know abit about the plays, but there is a feature where the dc can select a play for you. A good way to get started. The graphics are brilliant, but still has some problems every now and again. The ref is at times poorly done and forget about the sideline graphics. But the stadiums and players are amazing. The few problems the game does have i am sure will be worked out in nfl 2k1. But overall this game is a ton of fun with a lot of playability.
It's hard to review GK3 on its own merits without comparing it to GK1 and GK2. First off, going directly from GK2 to GK3 was a shock, as the former is done entirely in FMV and the latter used 3-d CG technology. When GK3 was made, this was fairly new and not as polished as it is today. The environments are well done, but I had a hard time with the characters. They didn't look quite right, and a lot of their movements were stylized and unrealistic. I got used to this as the game progressed. However, I still find that I relate better to 2-D characters (as in _The Longest Journey_ or GK1) than I do to 3-D representations that are trying so hard to be human and not quite making it.
8530 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 if you are stuck onthis game then go to my website [...] thanks
It has amazing music, art-work, and you can really tell that the makers spent hundreds of hours making sure everything was seamless. Even the one glitch that this game has (the Life Staff glitch) only makes the game more fun. It's an old game, but classic, and with added expansionist features combining Age of Wonders II: The Wizard's Throne and Sid Meier's Civilization 3 Complete with Lords of Magic, they could have a game that would stand the test of time.
7746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 seriously though... you know I'm not lying. I recently re played this game, I haven't played it since it was new, and it DOES hold up to the test of time.
Overall, I have to rate this game four stars because while it is a great game, it is very hard, even by classic Nintendo standards. There are three levels that I do not enjoy playing because the difficulty is set way too high, even on easy mode.
7412 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love yoshi story
9602 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy Tactics is for people who have lots of time and dedication for a good RPG. This game can be over 200 hours long so don't think it's short because it's one disk. Excellent battle system and overall a must have for anyone who plays Final Fantasy games.
If you want a game that'll scare the piss out of you, this is the game for you. With scary environments and monsters, creepy characters, and a storyline that will mess with your brain to no avail, this game hooks your attention like no other game can. You'll want to beat this game and then breathe a sigh of relief once it's over... then you got two more games which are ten times scarier than this one! A must-have for Playstation fans. In fact, one of the reasons to own a Playstation, period.
2805 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I havn't played Myst yet, but I have completed this one. What an immersive game this is. Great graphics, great sound, great features to play with and great fantasy world. Riven might only be a small world, but it's well worth the visit. You even get to see some alien creatures here and there. I give this 4 stars because the puzzles were a bit too hard for a lot of gamers. It took me 3 months in all, WITHOUT HINTS I might add. If you like fantasy, puzzles and exploration. GET IT. It's worth it just for the graphics alone.
Jungle Rhythm...
Once I reached the end I was sad my journey was over. I wished it were longer so I could have kept playing. I wasn't impressed with the ending when I first saw it, but as I thought about it, it made perfect sense and was a perfect ending. And the dialogue with Ravel and during and After the dialogue with the Transcendent One was marvelous. These guys are talented!
Crystals: Right on the path for normal levels. They're thin and pink. Touch them and you've obtained them. Just beat the level to earn one after you pick them up. One per normal level.
I can see so much fun in my future with this bad boy
631 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without any doubt, 1080 Snowboarding is probably the best snowboarding game available.
Marvel Vs. Capcom 1 and 2!
No... Only blood... lots and lots of blood... "Okay, let's do this." I say as I press forward. The camera pans overhead as I proceed down the darkening allyway. I go farther, see more blood... bodies... a lone wheelchair... darkness... I get to use my lighter now to give off faint light... deeper deeper... More fences and blood... no point in turning back... The music is insinuating that maybe I am making a bad decision... but it's too late now... And then I see it... and the end of the long alley way, a twisted mauled bodies hangs crucified and motionless. "Okay... that's bad... maybe I can..." I turn my character around and from the inky darkness looms small child-like shapes. THey come at me with knives and squeal in some sort of backwards laugh... They stab me in the knees and I CANNOT ATTACK. I look for weapons, I click on everything, I run back, dead end... they crowd around me, three or four or five or infinity... I don't know, I'm panicked and screaming at the screen, "WHY THE HELL? WHAT THE HELL? WHEN THU-WHAT THU-THROW ME A BONE!"
Story aspects of this game and the voice actors inhabiting their roles is especially satisfying even to this day.
Plot::-) :-)
2698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this game in my teens, still as fun now as it was for me back then. Thank you!
-The characters may be memorable, but the game does little to develop them beyond a certain point
i played all of HL games and this is the best one.
4502 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 King's Quest was my favorite computer game series. Beginning in the 80's with the first color PCs, Kings Quest allowed the player to wander through various fairy tale lands, solving puzzles based on classic stories. The games were text-interface in the beginning, and offered just the right amount of challenge and story telling to be compelling. This collection of the original 7 King's Quest games in one box. The bonus games, while fun, are not as good as the KQ games included. Definitely the best games of early PC gaming.

6586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You've played Final Fantasies 5 and 6 before. Now, you can play them again without having to dust off your old SNES or booting your computer.
Like all shooter's, I only enjoy this game with cheats. The master cheat for this game is "BOBBYBIRD", or, if you break it down, "BOBBY BIRD". It unlocks every weapon, level, and everything else your twisted little mind wants from this game.
Link, the courageous hero of time, must save Hyrule and Princess Zelda from the powerful wizard Ganandorf. Along the way Link will meet many people who can help him on his quest, as well as provide items and host mini-games to make it more fun. Can Link defeat Ganondorf and save the Triforce? Buy this game and become part of the adventure! Travel through time to play both child and adult Link. Ocarina of Time never gets boring or tedious, and is neither too hard nor too easy for any level of gaming skill. If you missed it in 1998, it's time to get it and get in on the action! The sequel, Majora's Mask, is also cool.
1160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games! You have to play it. It is definitely the best game in the Zelda series so far. It has adventure, romance, mystery, and SO many subquests. It's about a boy named Link who has a destiny. He lives in Kokiri Village, a little tiny village in the land of Hyrule. Anyway, a little fairy named Navi comes and says that he must meet the Deku Tree. He does and the Deku Tree tells him to go inside the Deku Tree and destroy all of the evil monsters inside him. Link does this and the Deku Tree gives him the Kokiri Emerald, or the Spiritual Stone of Forest. The Deku Tree phrophesies that Ganondorf, an evil desert Gerudo man, is trying to get hold of the Triforce, the essence of life in Hyrule. But in order to get hold of the Triforce you have to get three of the spiritual stones. Unfortuantely, after the tree's prophecy, he died because of the curse Ganondorf had cast upon him. But Link and Navi go on their journey and get the Goron's Ruby, or Spiritual Stone of Fire and the Zora's Sapphire, or Spiritual Stone of Water. Link gets the Ocarina of Time but when he opens the doors Ganondorf gets in before him and he gets the Triforce. Link waits seven years in the Chamber of Time and when he awakes he's all grown up. Rauru, the Sage of Light is there and tells him that he must save all the Sages from their temples and receive the medallions. He receives the Medallion of Light, Forest, Fire, Water, Shadow, and Spirit. But the game. It's definitely one of the best N64 games around!
8777 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Killer Instinct was a really good game. The home version was a pretty good translation of the Arcade smash and the game didn't get old as quickly as other fighting games.
6583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This review is all on Final Fantasy 6 (or Final Fantasy 3 when originally release in the US on SNES). The game is quite arguably the most entertaining RPG ever made. The characters, stories, and game play revolutionized the the RPG market a set a bar for all RPGS that followed. The only thing that sets it back are the dated graphics, but the entertainment value still exists. The added cut scenes are a major plus. The only gripe I have are the long load times during/between fights and navigation of the character menus. That 1 or 2 second additional load time is very noticeable and can be an annoyance especially to those who have played the original SNES version. The $20.00 price tag makes it a deal. A must have game for all RPG fans.
7645 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first wrestling game to grace the Playstation, and it offers arcade-fighting action in and out of the ring. Arcade meaning that you press forward, forward punch to perform a move. There are only eight true to life superstars, Bret Hart, the Undertaker, HBK, Razor Ramon, Doink the Clown, Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna, Lex Luger and one hidden superstar, so you may get bored with frequent matches. There are some incredible animations though, but it does get goofy though, with hit combinations, Lex Lugers arm turning into a mace, Bam Bam Bigelow is capable to light his opponents on fire with a diving head butt and other such odd things. Playstation makes great use of the sound qualities and the game has crystal clear sound and voiceovers from Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler doing commentary. The commentary might get repetitive to most people so the game even has the crowd scream things, boo and chant during the match. There is a Road to Wrestlemania mode for single players, which pits you in singles, two on one and three on one-handicap matches. It can get frustrating and tedious to go through those matches. The two player mode only has a huge battle royal mode in which a tag team together tries to defeat 12 wrestlers which come in one after another. While playing the two player mode can get annoying, because once you beat someone you must wait for the game to load as a new superstar runs out.
E103 Omega - Alright. Who expected a robot to be playable in a Sonic game? I certainly haven't, but I'm glad I am. Omega's gameplay involves massive deals of weaponry, as well as being able to hover later on, and do certain tasks in the levels. In Final Egg, for example, you must destroy Sonic dolls. In Emerald Coast, you catch Froggy. In other levels, you must go destoy other Omega robots! I absolutely love playing as this thing, as much as I love playing as the first 3 characters.
Don't forget, this game is for GBC ONLY! That means Game Boy Color.
4707 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is wonderful. Customizing my character was very entertaining (and one of things I enjoy the most about RPGs, and the small side quests are numerous and interesting. There any many areas that serve no particular purpose other than to gain some XP doing quests. This, I think, is a weakness of the succeeding games in the BG series: there are not enough exploration options available. The possibilites of your party are nearly endless, since there are many NPCs, all of whom have their own strengths. However, there is little NPC interaction, which is disappointing. There are some annoying aspects of gameplay (which is what caused me to downgrade this game slightly), such as the fact that the characters are excruciatingly slow, and have a poor pathfinder feature, which leaves them w/ a tendency to go places other than where you planned. You will be challenged from the first shocking event to the final show-down...and you will enjoy it the entire way.

The story of Tomb Raider is simple really. Lara Croft is a semi-famous archeologist adventurer and has been hired by a mysterious woman, Natla (last name unknown) to search the globe for an ancient artifact, known as the Scion, that is beleived to have come from the lost city of Atlantis. Lara sets off on her travels to find this artifact but before she can find it, she must search other areas of the world to find clues and hints that will open the way forward to her ultimate prize. Around halfway through the game, while uncovering clues about the artifact in question, Lara also unveils the truth about Natla; a story told through amazing cut-scenes. The storyline is intriguing to say the least and keeps you on the very edge of your seat as you beg to know more, yet never for the game to end.
No, you will not. You wll hate every minute of this.
3792 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a Sonic game in 3D, that about sums it up. Everything you would expect from a traditional Sonic game is here. Fast paced gameplay, great graphics, a memorable soundtrack, all of the holes to fall in and glitches also. If you go too fast, you will often find yourself getting stuck in a wall or falling through the scenery. The camera also seems to have a hard time keeping up with the action. The stages of the game are standard Sonic, including an ice level, a casino level, a green hill-type level, ect. Though many of the features in Sonic Adventure are just revisions of older ideas, there are also some new additions that keep the game fresh. Plenty of mini-games and multiple characters give the game replay value. Despite the minor drawbacks, Sonic Adventure is one game for the Dreamcast that should not be missed.

6348 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I picked this system up a couple of days ago, expansion pack included, for 20 dollars. I also bought Turok Seeds of Evil and Perfect dark for under $10. I also recently bought a couple of other vintage systems, so you can say I enjoy the old games. While I have stated in other reviews that I will get a "next gen" sytem soon, I'm still enjoying the "oldies" While this system may be "outdated" by today's standards, don't be so quick to rule the N64 out. The graphics and sound for it's time are not bad, and the controller fits well in my hand. Not a bad deal at all.
7583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blasto is a very cool game and has cool graphics. I really like it. Blasto i Hilarious. I like the idea of saving a "Babe" to earn extra points. This is a very good game. I recomedn it for everyone.
8643 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 IF YOU LOVED SEGA BACK IN THE DAY, YOULL LOVE THIS GAME...JUST LIKE DR. MARIO....REMEMBER THAT ONE? THIS GAME STILL HOLDS YOUR ATTENTION, AND YOU CAN PLAY IT FOR HOURS....
This game is much different from the first and for those who couldn't understand the first one might like this one better. The gameplay is a little bit more straightforward this time around. This time the game takes place on their home planet of funkatron instead of Earth, and guess who invaded your turf, Earthlings! So you got fend off the huge Earthling invasion with exploding jars, Super Jars, Funk Vacs (those are handy sometimes!) and other funky alien powers. Also like in the original Toejam and Earl there is an element of search and collect. A little side mission you can collect some of the creature called the funkapatmus (or Lamont is his nickname) and if you can get him to come out at the end of the game its an awesome ending!
Great if you need the extra cable!
267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These are great little cards to store games on.it save you money also. they come in very handy. Thank you Brenda ONeal
3622 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 How do you know if the Dreamcast is the system for you? Forget about graphics, think about the games! If you love arcade style games, this is the system for you. Some of the best ports include Soul Calibur, Gauntlet Legends, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, Marvel Vs. Capcom, Daytona USA: Network Edition, Mortal Kombat Gold, House Of The Dead 2, and the list goes on. If you prefer role playing games and more adventure oriented titles (even though Dreamcast does have a few good ones), you may want to get Playstation 2 as it offers more variety in that catagory. The only bad feature about the Dreamcast is the controllers...they break down often, especially if you constantly play Capcom's 2D fighters. Plus, I think it was a bad idea to make the VMU slots on the controllers rather than on the system itself, it just seems awkward. As for the durability issue, I can't really speak for that yet. What I can tell you is that I have had mine for well over a year now, it has endured extensive play, and has yet to display any noticable overheating/overuse problems. I haven't heard of any problems with the Dreamcast breaking down as of yet...but be careful. Give the vents on the right side of the Dreamcast plently of room to blow the hot air out. If you want to get a Dreamcast, hurry up, it probably won't be around much longer thanks to the Playstation 2. Fortunately, the Dreamcast has already established a solid library of games. Get it now while you are still able to find games and accessories easily.
360 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good product. As it says in the announce
MSKDLTLRY - REY MYSTERIO WITH MASK
First,many people complain that the characters have no personality. Not only is this wrong,but I don't know who cares.
"They don't make'em like they used to."
The only negative thing I can think of is the few bugs this game has which i'm sure later versions took care of. I've only "bumped" into the bug once or twice and it was an accident (ie drawing a certain weapon in a certain frame etc).
10-Lava Reef 86%
GRAPHICS: Awesome, especially for its time
SHINOBI!!!
9282 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really did not think i would like this game. But, it is both challenging and fun. This is unlike any other game i have ever played. Worth buying most definetly.
Although each of the games maps have some problems, UT is the clear winner here, with over 50 maps that each have their own special touches and singular beauty (although some may look better than play better). Quake's maps are very linear and flat and don't have the same kind of spark that the UT maps have.
-Beatiful 2-D graphics
(One example of annoyance you will have to deal with is that certain games will "READ" your card first before it will "WRITE" to the card to save. This can take as much as 2-3 minutes before it will finally do anything, and that can cause a problem if either you are not a patient person or you suddenly get a power spike to hit while in the middle of a save where it READS before it WRITES.)
530 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomb Raider 2 is my absolute favourite PlayStation game of all-time! I bought the game in December 1997, around the same time I got my PlayStation. But I never really liked Tomb Raider 2 and only managed to get halfway through the first level, before forgetting about it for a while. Four years later, in the summer of 2001, I dug it out again and decided to give it a go with the help of a strategy guide. What a shock I got!
3334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product is excellent and works very well, i recommended to buy it and have fun with it. Its very good
I left my friend's house with a burning desire to own this game and the knowledge of what had happened to Final Fantasies 4 through 6 (or Final Fantasies 2, 3, and 5).
If you complete an entire level without losing a life and manage to destroy all the boxes, youll get rewarded with a gem, this was a flaw with the game because it makes the game way too damn hard and every future Crash Bandicoot game let you get the gem even if you die as long as you break all the crates. Some gems can act as platforms to help you get across areas that are impossible to reach, much like the vine in Super Mario Bros.
AoE2 is one to get.
I was 16-17 when I played this game a lot. The one mode that i always liked was time trials. I love trying to beat my old times.
You must go to Seattle of the middle of the next century and interact with dozen of unique characters.
5967 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the best game ever made, the replay value is UNBEATABLE!
4058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In what other game can you build a 10 mile go kart track, hire security guards, and clean up puke?
It is very fun to play and with a deep story line. Collect this and the entire series and you will have something truly fun and entertaining to share with the grand kids years from now when they want to see "those old games" that pop pop used to play. LOL!
2001 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 At first I thought this game [stunk] cause there was no save feature but there is a password feature and you can use other people's passwords to start out on whatever level you feel. Cheating has never looked so good! There are great graphics and action and the gameplay is very straightforward. All in all it deserves an A -. A great gift to receive in September.
The story and character development are obviously pre-FFTactics. The characters are well developed and likable, but not as meaningful or emotional. Also, the plot is really good, but it's much shorter and won't play around with your emotions like Final Fantasy Tactics (that game was BRUTAL with your emotions). It has some original concepts, and some things I still haven't seen elsewhere since. While I would give this game a 3-star rating since I didn't like the story as much, I do have to consider that this game predates Tactics (by like 3 years), and as such, my opinion of this game is risen drastically.
The purpose of the game is to use your character skills and moves to knock off your opponent from the hovering playing field. Damage to you or to your opponent builds up as you hit him/her. Some punches or moves give more damage than others and as the damaged builds up, the character turns more vulnerable to being knocked off.
You control a robot named Evo who has broken into many pieces and is now only a computer chip. Fortunately, Evo has broken apart on Silicon Valley, which is a planet filled with robotic animals. When a robotic animal dies, he can enter it and take control of it. Every animal you control has two abilities, and none of the animals has two of the same abilities, making each one handy in its own way. Given so many different animals to take control of, the game is open ended in many different ways. Puzzles have multiple ways they can be solved, using whatever animal you want. There are occasions when you are required to use certain animals for certain tasks, but how you get those animals is up to you.
Try it out. We've been playing it for months.
I also suggest you buy the expansion packs avayable from Red Storm, since they give you completely new levels (a little too few, actually! ) and weapons to play with.
8. Conquer the Dark Ages
6404 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Similar to the first gam in this series you are here to dominate the territory you are put onto. Whether or not there is 2 through 8 players(computer or otherwise) is up to the player. The Computer graphics on this game is far suprior to the previous installment. Well worth the price just for the graphics. A novel of a game for any age and gamer level.
Product arrived as described and on time.
Pros:
Admittedly, the story and characters aren't works of art, but the brilliance of this game lies in its innovative style of platforming, lush graphics, and excellent sound.
As the Game Boy continued to gain much popularity in the 1990's, the Donkey Kong franchise was reborn! Around the same time that the Super Game Boy adapter was released in North America, Donkey Kong '94 was one of the first games to have an exhaustive graphical makeover, adding several layers of color and even the ability to play all of your Game Boy titles on television!
4379 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great follow up to Fate of Atlantis, and it's nice to see Indy jumped into 3D. The textures are really nice, and it carries a lot of Typical Indy puzzles. Sure it looks a lot like Tomb Raider, but you know Indy was there first. This game needs to be ported to PS. The only downfall is theat the programming is a little tempermental in Win2000, but then again, what isn't? Plus there are patches for this game. this is worth the buy. You won't be disappointed.
Anyway, the graphics and controls are all improved from the original game. There are more vehicles, more weapons, and more options. Also, the soundtrack is a little more variable as well. The quest mode is the best thing about this game because you keep playing to unlock all the little movies to find out what happens. However, the two-player modes are a lot of fun to play, too. I really enjoyed playing VIGILANTE 8: 2ND OFFENSE and found it to be even much more fun than VIGILANTE 8.
In addition, players have to work to get all the fun stuff - most game modes, weapons, and difficulty levels are only unlocked after the player has played through a significant portion of the single player game and possibly completed certain tasks. Its well worth it to do so, trust me. With well over 50 different weapons to choose from, multiplayer is the main reason to buy this game.
You begin by planning walkways that make sense for your visitors, and putting down inexpensive but entertaining rides. Each visitor has his or her own sense of what's fun - something exciting, something laid back, something truly wild or something mild. You need to set up food, drink and restrooms, and put out benches and trashcans. You hire repairmen, sweepers, entertainers, and security folk. Vandalism can strike, and rides can break down.
This is a great collection and I encourage any vintage RPG lover to try it out.
234 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 as advertised!
To sum it up. I like the levels, all the vechiles, the graphics of mutalating a alien with a maching gun on the tank. The puzzles aspect. Its great.
3. the gathering of 35 chambers is a neat idea and motivates you to actually try out more combos rather than sticking with the ones that get you a safe kill. It's kind of like earning your different colored belts in Karate.
Although a bit tricky in places, you're certain to enjoy this game if you're in to Myst.
but that's just my opinion
At first glance at FF7, it doesn't really look like much. Basically looks like your "average" game, where you fight the bad guy, save the girl, and so on. The appearance of the game, also relies on the story. You have to understand what is going on, to get the whole meaning out of a certain scene. FF7, is one of those games that illustrates this property very well. At the time of the games release, which you can see here, it had some of the best graphics for any PSX game.
7586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was sooo awesome back in the day! Racing was fun, battling was fun it was all so fun!!
6974 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game came in great condition! I really enjoyed playing it, bringing back great memories! I recently beat this game and would recommend this game to players!
This game is an orginal game idea that always earns bonus points. And it was done very well.
Sony needs to reissue this game and FF Mystic Quest onto the PS format immediately.
4889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. The battle system gets a little repetitive, but it can be done quickly or auto. The plot has one of the most intricate political intrigues without that feeling of "is there something Japanese going on here that I don't understand". It's awesome that a cast of over 108 has emotional weight.
7494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember having a fun time playing this game with a friend many years ago, when the game was brand new. Basically you go around shooting people. Well, the computer pushes you to the next area after you are done shooting in one area, but that's okay, any video game where you get to let loose and just shoot things is fine by me. Though I don't recommend doing that in real life. You'd get in trouble! I love this game and you should to!
One final quibble about the game. Why does Capcom find it necessary to limit your inventory in such a fashion? Why does a card or a key take up as much room as a wespon, a fire extinguisher, or any of the other big items you find and have to carry in this game? That's just a personal complaint, and one I've never been able to figure out in all of the Resident Evil games I have played. I would have thought enough people would have complained about having to juggle your inventory in such an inane fashion that they would have changed this by now. Maybe next time.
1364 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's strange to me that in all the years since "Super Mario 64" was released in 1996, I never wrote a review for this groundbreaking, utterly fantastic game that has meant so much to me over the years.
6605 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a must buy for any RPG fans! Two of the greatest games ever released together relatively cheap! It's a dream come true!
1762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...
The villain that everyone talks about from this game is Sephiroth. In my FF6 review, I thought Kefka was the best Final Fantasy villain ever. I still believe that, but Sephiroth is still one of the greatest villains in any RPG. Sephiroth does have some interesting motives; he is originally Cloud's friend, even a mentor, and the best member of SOLDIER for a time. However, upon learning what appeared to be his real past (not quite real, but no spoilers here!), he progressively goes insane and is hell bent on bringing back the "Promised Land," which basically means wounding the planet and sucking its life force. While he's not your typical, heartless villain (not saying Kefka is typical, but you feel from the first hour of that game that he is downright evil.), he is a mentally distraught, horribly twisted person, and that progression of madness that worsens throughout the game is actually very well transitioned. Plus, he is responsible for murdering Aeris, scarring the mind of my RPG generation forever.
Tomb Raider 2 is an awesome game, but, my favorite in the series has to be Tomb Raider 3!
2863 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is cool but a lot of the levels are really dark. A lot easier to play with cheats. Im on level 23 and there are still more to go. Its two players which is the only reason its good. Otherwise zero hour is way better.
Sure it was totally easy but I always went back for more. This game had such charm is it any wonder why Sonic is still so popular all these years on?
5611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the the best classic rpg's in my book
Pokmon Stadium 2
8213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The price is great and when I ordered this game I received it within four days which is pretty quick. The game works great with no problems however the game did arrived a little dirty but no biggy, I cleaned it up and it looked like new. The game it self is around 14 years old and even though it was a little dirty the game still works like new. I recommend buying from Corey's Used Games because he responds to the customers promptly.
560 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've always been a fan of the Twisted Metal series, and this third installment doesn't disappoint. Some familiar characters from the other two games reappear here, but there are also some cool new characters. The music rocks and the stages are full of challenging situations. Be ready to get your drive on!
2977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 bought the game cause i love the series and shockingly this game is the same age as i am feel great to hold a piece of gaming history in my hands storys great every aspect of the game is great
1 Hyenas
5296 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the first video game I've played with no violence. It even encourages and insists on making sure you are loving to your animals! You play a farmer and keep busy raising crops (different kinds in different seasons), taking care of your animals, attending festivals, and more. You decide how much work you do, I recently had to cut down for myself, I was too busy! This game is addictive, but I did get to a point where I wondered if I had any more goals to strive for, because after awhile feeding and brushing your animals day after day gets mundane. Then I realized I could have a carpenter add on to my house, so I am busy collecting lumber every day. Your farmer can get too tired and even get sick so be careful how much work you do. This game would be very appropriate for children as it teaches responsibility and lets them choose what they want to accomplish, and everyone in the game is nice to you! Good for adults too of course. A peaceful change from high-strung action games.
6138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works well.
I must say that this game is even more enjoyable than the first of the series, and the 1st Donkey Kong Country is already a classic. Dixie Kong has some special abilities she has to offer here. When she twirls her hair, she can defeat the baddies and also glide in the air. A new feature for the series!
233 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pretty good
There are a lot of other great fighters too, such as Gun Jack(he's really powerful and his only weakness is not being too fast)and there are fighters even better than he, such as Jin Kazama and Paul Phoenix(who by the way are both AMONG my favorites, they rock so much!)and Hwoarang, who's not as good as Gun Jack but still rocks big
Overall, I was really looking forward to this game and I was not disappointed.
4788 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first Zork game done by Activision was Return to Zork, which looked cheap in many spots and although had some innovations it wasn't very impressive. Next was Zork: Nemesis, which was worlds better but also very dark and serious. The only thing that made it a 'Zork' game were a few familiar names and locations thrown around. It lacked the humor of a true Zork game.
~LOCATIONS~
1391 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A fun game all the way!! You just can't get enough of this fantastic wonderful game!!!!!!
The only problems I noticed were a sometimes-picky framerate and some poor multiplayer stage designs.
Get Metal Gear Solid!
Granted, I don't run into zombies either........hmmmm........do the working people downtown count?
This is a 100% strategy game, and even in the galactic battles you need to double think which spaceship to send against which.
1689 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like this game I looked at it and it was very cool I played levels like Turtle Woods and Snow Go I liked this because I liked fighting Cortex I watched the bonus levels on Youtube because I didn't want to do them. I like collecting crystals and gems I give this a 4 stars out of 5.
5472 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably the most impressive PS1 game I've seen. A must have in a gamer's collection. This game is a work of art.
5022 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although outdated, this game is a true classic. The Silent Hill series is an intelligent and more sophisticated alternative to Resident Evil. While it may not have the same level of fun as blowing the heads off of hordes of zombies, the rich, unsettling environments combine with eerie sounds and genuinely disturbing (as opposed to just plain gross) monster designs will draw you into the game.
Playing the Beta, the only problem I noticed was that the graphic rendering was painfully slow. I am hoping that this is endemic to the Beta version. It takes about 3 minutes for the game to load on a Pentium 450 with 128MB RAM and a 16MB TNT nVidia Video Card.
9346 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thanks
7898 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was released to major hype back in the day. After the initial Zelda game rocked the gaming industry and Zelda II (which i think was better than the original) came out, fans were dying for this game.
5- while playing, you feel that there is a living city around you. Npcs walk around, talk with each other, react when a fight occurs near them. Also for npc s in your group, you really feel that they have their own ideals, their own stories which are incredibly connected to your characters past.
Then I die. I turn of my console and put this at the bottom of my stack. This game made me it's bitch. FOr a year I did not tackle it. Then My mother urged me to play it (She is a horror movie fan and wanted to see the outcome, but was too much of a wuss to play it herself) so I did, died again, and then waited... I was SUPPOSED TO DIE AT THE BEGINNING! Way to psyche me out game.
2600 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Looks, Feels and Plays like a brand-new Game Boy! Came with two free games! Awesome Buy!
And the ugly: Boss battles can be somewhat dissapointing, Levels are a lot different from the movie
As far as game play goes like all BoF games in BoF 3 you have the ability to turn into a dragon. Like BoF 1 and unlike BoF2 when you turn into a dragon you stay one for a while. While you're a dragon you loose MP every turn to keep you from staying one forever in that combat unlike BoF 1. All the character seem to get their own special power. The character list is short and one of the characters on the list of the book never fights with you as a character. The training system you can find people to help you with is actually kind of pointless weird and honestly I didn't like it. The town to town walking is slow and you never get fast transportation.
Very easy.
7920 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is in my opinion, the best of the Zelda series. The storyline and the gameplay are superb and the graphics are really good for the age of the game.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest plays out like this: Donkey Kong has been kidnapped by King K Rool (now called Kaptain K Rool) and wants DK's banana hoard as a ransom payment. Instead, Diddy Kong and his partner, Dixie Kong, decide to rescue him. Like the first game, you can play a one player game (you control both characters), two player game (you and another player control the characters) and two player contest (players take turns in conquering the stages.) There are brand new worlds with new stages to explore and it's all under the "pirate" theme as old and new enemies dress and talk the part. You'll be going through the stages collecting bananas, letters and 1ups to rack up extra lives like before. This time, you'll also collect banana coins (the game's currency), Kremling coins (special currency to gain access to a secret world) and 'DK' coins. New animals join in to help you this as well as old friends like Rambi and Enguarde. You'll also meet new characters to help you along the way as well. Save your progress when you reach a certain character and you'll need to do so often because the challenge has been ramped up this time.
WAY TO GO ACCLAIM!
*RESIDENT EVIL
In conclusion, if a PS2 is too expensive for you, right now is a good time to buy a Dreamcast. Although the amount new games are becoming fewer and fewer, the old ones are selling at GREAT prices. So instead of having a PS2 and maybe one or two expensive games for it, you could own a Dreamcast and have many.
90 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 it was fun finding the differences in the pictures, but it got boring when the same pictures kept comming up. it would have been better NOT to have a time limit on these games. that just makes it harder and frustrating for beginners like me. i am handicapped and disabled and don't move that fast. also i just turned 61, so i'm not that fast mentally either. there should be an option to choose if you want it to be timed or not. there should be that option on ALL games.
You can even use different items either to slow down the other racers, or to help you pass them up. Of course every item has it's own effects, there are a few that are hard to get. That's because they're special, learn how to use them, and the competition will be eating your dust.
9727 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it's the best game in the series after Twisted Metal III. Both games have cheats to help you survive
2-Chemical plant(83%)It is a little hard, but it's still good!
Story: 8/10
9079 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo is one of the best console games of all-time. Just like Super Mario World you kill enemies by jumping on top of them. And like Mario and Luigi collect coins to earn extra lives, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong collect bananas because they're monkeys.
1684 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When you ask someone why the Sega Saturn failed and why the Sony Playstation succeeded, most people knowledgeable on the subject don't have a great reason. The best answer I've come up with is that Sony Playstation had some smash hits that the Saturn did not have. Games like Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, and Final Fantasy VII were mega-hits that Saturn did not have an answer for. One game came very early into the Playstation library and was deemed an instant classic by gamers and critics alike, and that game is the first Resident Evil game, the first true hit for the Sony Playstation.
FF6 is good. It has much better sprites. It is different though. You can't just have your 4 favorite characters as you will probably switch it up alot. I liked the characters, but they do tend to become useless. Most of them do. I never use Cyan or whatever. The challenge is moderately hard. It is not as challenging as FF5, but more challenging than ff7. There are a ton of summons. I read Expert Gamer sometimes and they have a whole page filled with summons in one issue. The battles are relatively fun, but can be won easily with Edgar. It is so easy to use tools that it is almost a joke. I stopped playing this one half way through also as I got distracted.
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
But that was the first time I played it. Now I'm playing it again (this is my third time and I just beat the game about 6 months ago), and I'm finding the mini-games aren't quite as difficult; I'm not getting lost nearly as much, and I've gotta say the music's not quite so depressing anymore either. Also, I think it helps to play Crisis Core (PSP prequel to the game) or at least watch Advent Children (movie whose plot takes place about 2 years after the events of the PS game). The story is still quite sad, but it works. I think anyone who is into RPGs will definitely enjoy this one.
The story has a grown-up, realistic tone to it. Contrary to the old television preview, it is not an evil empire or kingdom that has taken over the world, but a corporation: Shinra Electric Power Company. The world is technologically advanced. The heroes sit at bars and ride trains and watch television. But it is also a world where magic is possible. Some of your characters use guns, some use sorcery or martial arts, and of course Cloud wields his famously massive sword, and because of terrific world-building, you can buy into the conceit with ease. (Of course Cloud uses a sword in a world with guns and laser beams. He's a super-soldier created in a complicated combination of magical infusion and injection with the cells of an alien being, so he's strong and fast enough that a sword is more useful to him than a gun.) The journey of the game's heroes through the world is nothing short of epic. I still have fond memories of the places I traveled to in this game: the slums of Midgar, the Temple of the Ancients, Rocket Town, The Gold Saucer, even the Lost City of the Ancients...
suddenly bounced you out of the sun, it was all the more unexpected.
4501 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I was very surprised when i got this. I used to have laura bow 2, which is an awesome detective game, but i lost it. So, i saw that it was in this collection, so i payed for it alone, because it is worth it. Then after i got this collection and played lb2 awhile, i decided to try king's quest. The first game is awesome, even with the 4bit graphics! I still haven't beaten them all. I beat kq 1,6, and 7. This collection also made me go out and buy king's quest 8, which is a new game.
a "8" and does not count down, do the following. Insert a different N64 game into the Shark, put the Shark into
9848 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't know who the idiot is, and don't care! Who ever gave this only 2 stars is an idiot and not really a fan of Kirby or a real gamer! This is truly the greatest Kirby game! I especially love the main charater. A rolly poley little marsh mellow! He is the perfect example of a boy who is willing to risk all to help others! I love the music too! With its upeat tunes keep you entertained the whole way! The storyline is cute too! Anybody eho love Kirby should get this!
The animation and sound in this game are spectacular. You build all sorts of amusement park attractions for your guests, and then you watch them walk around your park like little ants. All of the sounds of a theme park are there. The clickety-clack of the roller coaster chains, the screams of the riders as the coaster plunges down the hill, and the laughs of the children and yes. The programmers even included the cheesy music that they play for the bumper cars.
The controls of the match are simple enough for anyone to jump in and learn, but you have to understand the psychology of wrestling (and use the controls accordingly) if you want to go deep into the championship modes of the game. Players use the B button to strike, A button to initiate a grapple, the d-pad to move, and the joystick to either taunt or execute a special move. The player can differentiate between a weak strike/grapple and a strong strike/grapple by holding the respective button down until the move is executed. The more "worn down" your opponent is, the better chances you have of successfully hitting them with a strong attack. Yet if you try to initiate a strong grapple on an opponent who's not worn down, they'll likely reverse the attack and counter with one of their own. So much like real wrestling, you have to wear your opponent down with the weak attacks until you move up and hit them with the strong ones (and also like wrestling, it's a good idea to generate a response from the audience by letting out a taunt while your opponent's down.) Once your spirit meter is full, you can strike an opponent with a special move by initiating a strong grapple and then moving the joystick (or alternately using the joystick when on the turnbuckle if the finisher's an aerial maneuver.) The controls also allow you to run, leave the ring, block/counter an attack, dodge an attack, and set your focus on another opponent if you're involved in a handicap or tag team scenario.
992 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Mario Kart 64 for my nephew for his birthday. I played Mario Kart 64 when I was a little and I loved it. My nephew already has Mario Kart DS and he loves it. I figure that he will love this game too. Mario Kart 64 has many different levels in which you can race other Mario characters such as Luigi, Wario, Donkey Kong, Bowser and many others. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes any of the newer Mario Kart games.

1385 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 is a great game and is what I would call the best platforming game of all time.
Pick this game up for the kids, pick this up for yourself, you will have a great time!
6994 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off, DONT FORGET THE EXPANSION PAK. That is required to play this game. Other than that, its so much fun. It reminds me of super mario 64, if you liked that game, you'll like this too :)
Mario Kart was one of the first games out for nintendo and the first game that started series of mario games for n64. Such as Mario party 1,2, and 3 also adventure games like super mario 64 etc. and many more to come.
Anyway, get this game. NOW.
3017 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With impressive graphics, unforgettable characters, and a simply amazing storyline, Final Fantasy VII is definately a game that shouldn't be underestimated. There are many ways to go about playing the game, you can go straight through the story, or you can take your time and explore. And that's one of the things I like about RPGs. It's a must have for any gamer, in my opinion.
Doesn't the classic GB logo give it away? This is not the fantastic GameBoy Advance title Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, nor is it Circle of the Moon or even Harmony of Dissonance.
8873 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very fun game, came in fantastic condition and plays very well. Classic Super Nintendo game.
The storylines are quite enthralling, and you will find yourself running off to the computer at every moment to find out what happens next or to further explore the amazing scenery. The fully rendered graphics and sounds are amazing, and the gameplay is both full of action and brain-teasers.

The details of the cockpit are astounding! Even the pilots at my workplace were impressed. Everything works as it should be. Every knob, every switch was in place. The displays give accurate outputs. Everything looks authentic... Well, almost everything. I noticed some stuff that was, shall we say, "fudged" to avoid giving classified data. You can't really blame them for that.

9327 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Panzer Dragoon was one of the best, if not the bestest rail shooters till this day. I still play it on my original Saturn. The graphics might be outdated for todays gen systems, but the gameplay is still at its best. The music score on these games were epic, all of the boss battles and encouters were memorable. If you can get this game, I would. It is a gem indeed. Panzer Dragoon Zewi was the prequel I believe, but came out after the original. That game is a gem also. And I think everyone knows how good of an RPG Panzer Dragoon Saga was, so no need to give the breakdown on that. If I had any negatives on Panzer Dragoon (and Panzer Dragoon Zewi) was only the few hours of gameplay. But till this day, it feels the fun never left, it actually feels like I played the game for the first time every time.
1583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lets see, first don't get overly surprised by great levels and graphics because they are not. The theme of the levels are great though. Another thing I noticed that each password was the same for all the cars. This is a wonderful game. The Kars r Kool! with capital K's . The coolest thing about this game is that you can play as Darkside! The special stinks though. Pit Viper is my favorite car and her sticky goo special is great!!!
Overall, Demolition Racer is a blast to play and the replay value will have you coming back for more. Its a fun game, and at 20 bucks, its a steal!
Even playing Silent Hill today, in the time of hyper-realistic games, full-scale production on par with Hollywood, and high-definition graphics, the original Silent Hill still stands the test of time. It is challenging, and production values are high given the limitations of the time it was made. The original Playstation graphics may seem a little choppy by modern standards, but in a way this works for the game too, giving it a surreal quality as Harry's perspective shifts from one reality to another. There is a minimalistic approach to the look of the whole game that works for it rather than against it -- the old concept that the less you show, the greater the potential fear is. Voice acting is a little shaky, but this is more than made up for by the quality of mood-setting sound effects and music which create a constant (and ever-escalating) sense of dread.
9052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this for ten dollars at a garage sale - It is Fun Fun Fun. I'm working my way slowly through the Protos missions - it is very challenging and probably too hard for anyone under 12 to get into. The game uses literally 8 buttons, 12 if you get the hang of using quick keys to toggle map coordinates. Eventually you could master everything to this game, but it will take weeks or months. This is a good warm up for anyone who wants to learn Star Craft for the PC or to play casual with some friends - with the expansion pack it looks great on my 40 inch HDTV. Best game for the N64 except Goldeneye 007.

2. The Story-The game is engaging and keeps you playing all the time
There were many breakthroughs with this game that helped to pave the road for future FFs and separate future RPGs, but it makes it no less fun to play because it's so called "old" or "outdated". A definite gem, worth the time and effort, and all kinds of fun.
5725 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great series. My all time favorite was Ultima 4. With Wintendo 3.1/95 as the requirement for the OS, I'm thinking of trying to make this work with WINE under Linux (maybe even use transgaming if that fails).
705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you. My Zeldas both got stolen by a bum stoner a couple years ago and with a couple other games I've recently noticed. I did not expect much when I thought of looking on Amazon for games for older systems then I found this and I even got the one that came with the box and instructions. Very rare deal and amazing price. Thank you.
Of the three PSX RE games, this one easily has the worst graphics. We're talking first-generation PSX graphics here, if that's any indication. The character models are all blocky and easily stick out from the otherwise highly detailed still-screen environments. These environments are navigatably 3D, but the camera angles sit at fixed 2D points, which can be both good and bad, depending on the situation. By bad, I mean that some angles hinder the view of the action. The monsters (especially the zombies) have very limited animation and models compared to the later games, and its limited engine prevents the game from having more than 3 monsters on the screen at one time (not including the crows). So the only real decent graphical aspects are the rendered environments. But even they don't quite compare to the detail in the following games.
Story summary: 2 boys, Spike and Jake, are heading to the Professor's laboritory to try out his time machine, but once they get there they find the professor and his assistant/granddaughter Natalie tied up by a horde of monkeys. The monkeys leader (Spector) has gotten hold of one of the professors inventions called the peak point helmet which increases Spectors intellegents and helps him achieve an insane level of power. The other monkeys possess Monkey helmets that do pretty much the same thing as Spectors helmet, but less powerful. Spctor sends himself and the other monkeys through time so they can change history in a way that'll make monkeys the dominant creatures of the earth and humans basically nonexistant. Its up to Spike to capture these monkeys, including Spector. I know its not the deepest story, but its really amusing and fun getting to travel through time through the dinosaur age up to the future. Later on in the game I actually found it compelling. You also really grow to love Spike by the time you finish the game. I understand now, why alot of people who play the sequals wish Spike was the main character again.
7667 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World is a SNES classic, game worked flawlessly.
Why is it a legend then? It's those tricky enemy spawns, those speed boosts going right into doom, those precious rings, that make Sonic what it is. You have to play through the level to know how to avoid certain death. When you do, you feel so proud. You quickly learn when to jump, or when to go slow. You start killing those enemies right as they break through a wall. You replay the game, until you perfect it or give up.
Man this game is awesome. They steel cage match, Hardcore match, and I can't remember but I think they had first blood?...I think...I don't remember.
When a game can immerse you the way Silent Hill did that is the sign of a great game period. The enemies were twisted deranged and artisticly made it was a sheer pleasure running into nurses with no faces and huge knives or something to that effect been a while lol
battles don't require too much strategy to win, but they still add to the game nonetheless.
6482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't like either of these as much as the newer Final Fantasy games (7 and 8), but they are still great games, if you missed Final Fantasy 3(6) back on the SNES, you should pick it up now, plus you get Final Fantasy 5, which was never released in the US before now.

8563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Always fun to play
There are even entire UMS maps that have evolved into competitive universes of play. Hydra zones, Income D, path D, desert strike to name a few. Just like the real game of Starcraft, they've been balanced out over the years and are are own GAMES in their own right.
6327 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever played N64? If you haven't your in for a treat. There are SO many awesome, classic games for this amazing system. You'll be blown away by the fact that the grahpics are so good for a system as old as N64. If you do purchase this system, also purchase the following games: Super Smash Brothers, Diddy Kong Racing & Pokemon Stadium. Those are my favorites! Enjoy the N64, because I know I do/am.
1657 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ...I found another ninja game called "Tenchu: Stealth Assassin". I read the back of it and it looked pretty good. When I tried it back at home, I was blown away! This game was really sweet. And after I tried the demo of "Ninja: Shadow of Darkness" that was in my game "Fighting Force", I realized I was lucky that I didn't waste my money on it.
3272 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Graphics wise this game is awesome. The control is easy to get used to and it is fun.
There are only two minor, niggling, flaws in this game. The first is the failure to display graphics any higher than a 640x480 resolution. Having the ability to display a much higher resolution would allow more of the buildings to be seen. This would make the map easier to navigate. The other flaw is the failure to implement Aureal 2.0 support (Baldur's Gate had the same problem). Anyone with a Sound Blaster Live! should be able to enjoy EAX support however, so all is not lost.
2. It's frustrating, and there are millions of ways to die in one level.
7648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lost my old copy and this replacement did the trick
About the only major negative point that can be made in reguard to this game is that it's too short. If it had double the amount of levels it would be perfect. But even at it's tragicly short length, Nights is an undisputed classic. Every level has replay value galore, thanks to the grading system, and the previously mentioned interactive soundtrack. And even when you've long since beaten the game and played it to death, you'll find yourself picking it up once in while for one more try at breaking your highest score. All in all, it's worth buying a SEGA Saturn for this game alone.
Replay Factor: 8/10
1708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mortal Kombat is a totally cool fighting game series. Digitized and bloody fighting combined with neck-breaking, spine-ripping fatality moves make the series seem like gold. But I personally find the transition from 2D to 3D for this series scary at first glance. I originally thought the fatalities would end up being like horror movie scenes. However, I ended up sticking with it.
I pocket one whenever we go anywhere "just in case" there might be a few minutes to play and then store the progress until another convenient time. In our lives we are playing in four community bands, teaching private lessons, working on our Victorian house and a few other things. We eat out a lot.
As a game, PS:T straddles the boundary between Role-Playing and Adventure; unlike most RPG's, you do not create your own character but rather assume the role of The Nameless One. However, you have complete control over how "TNO" evolves, from his skills to his morality. This restriction allows the game to be so focused, but it can also be a turn-off for more free-wheeling gamers. Similarly, your choice of companions and the plotline are also bounded, which for me is also a strength but for others may be restrictive.
872 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 All right, the graphics are nice and the terrain damage is something new, but that doesn't make up for the gameplay, which could be summed up in one word:SLOW.
4565 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the first instalment of the tony hawk series. This is the start of greatness because it allows you for the first time to become one of your favorite skateboarders. You board through great levals completing objectives and winning compatitions. This is also an awsome multiplayer game. You get to skate against your friends to get the most points or in the grafiti mode. In grafiti you see who can do the most tricks on different areas of the leval whoever claims the most territory wins. This is an all aroung great game and a must buy but the graphics could use some work.
This MMORPG is also excellent for the casual player (such as myself). Other games requiring endless hours of sitting, practicing skills, fighting, etc in order to make the smallest headway. AC's rewards are more commensurate with one's efforts, and those rewards are satisfying.
If you want an RPG that's original get this...just don't exspect to get anywhere with it.
If you like quality puzzle-focused games that have straight-forward challenges (the game doesn't scale or do anything cheap to mess with you - try to "make the game more challenging"), and enjoy a good storyline (with great humor that doesn't take away from the game), you really should check out Abe in Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus). It is a really great game that is nothing but quality. This is definitely one of those rare games worth owning and replaying.
In this part you can save after each level, it is easier in that respect. I find the gems easier to collect than in the first forbidding game. The designs of the adventure is by far better than the firs.
Aside from the great design, Sonic was just plain fun. It's faster, more action, easier to kill enemies, and there was a lot of slick puzzles and a great plot. The stages are filled with many booby traps, from the raging lava river from the Marble Zone, to bumpers that luanch you into enemies, this game is just brimming with exciting obstacles that sometimes make you don't mind that you just died and have to start over again. I do reccomend learning how to do level skip, so you don't have to start over. Of course, you don't keep your score, but getting a record score is already done, so don't shed any tears if you lose your points. And the music is jammin' to, it's not as good as the music from Sonic Adventure, but it's very good.
5310 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Forget the standard Final Fantasystory line. In Thousand Arms you play as Mice Triumph a letcherous young man on a quest to regain his kingdom, and woo any young woman in his path. The game features the best voice overs in any game the Playstation has ever made and the graphics are a culmination of Lunar 2 and Final Fantasy VII. For anyone who wants to have a wonderful story in the tradition of anime, and laugh for hours at some of the funniest dialoge yet, then look no farther then Thousand Arms. Warning the game while not anymore violent then any of the Lunar games does contain quite a few sexual innuendos, partly spawning form the unique system of this game where you can go on dates with each girl and try to win her over. This game is suggested for an audience 13 and up.
4385 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing game. I was first intriduced to it when, at camp, they said they were having a starcraft tournament. I had never played starcraft, but being myself, I entered anyway. I practiced single player for a matter of minutes, but i was distracted, and only learned about marines and scvs. I got crushed in the tournament, obviously, but after playing some more I started to get it, and now, I play on battle net as often as my high speed internet is not too fast for every one elses-almost never. My point is, however, that starcraft takes five minutes to learn, but five years to master. Even the champions still practice alot. The nail on the coffin for this game, after the multiplayer capabilities, is the great campaign mode. It is not recgognized, however starcraft has one of the greatest storylines a game has ever had. Thats Why I rated this five stars, and it certainly is the best game i own, maybe the best game ever.
8394 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Armada is totally awesome. graphics are very well made. Unlike most games that has overhead view of the playing field, you go on the level of the playing field... as space is. It is a very good Star Trek game and well worth the game. For me, it has tendcy to crash and lock up in game in multiplayer mode. Single player mode, it never crashed or locked up. There is also dozens of MODS to add ships and plays to downloadd maps. I am awaiting a update to fixed the bugs in it myself.
And no, it's NOT just RPG games that are worth playing either. PLENTY of shooting games that you'll have a surprising amount of fun playing through, such as the Medal of Honor and Resident Evil series, Silent Hill, Dino Crisis 2, Quake II, Doom, MDK, all kinds of Mega Man games, and who knows what else. There's just *so many games* to choose through, games that should be memorable for years and years and YEARS! Perhaps the very best game on the Playstation is a platform/adventure game called Spyro the Dragon. The best game EVER made maybe?
Opposing force comes out. It gets very good reviews.
easy to use battle system...I like the Materia system
3084 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Admittedly, the graphics could be better. But if you look past that, you'll find an excellent story, a well-realized world, interesting characters, excellently written dialogue, and an indefinable sense of fun and adventure that kept me playing hour after hour. Give it a chance.
Sound 10/10 Awesome sound effects! they are crystal clear!
There were two things that struck me the most in this game. The first is the art. Appropiately gothic, macabre, moody, dark, ornate and beautiful. I always looked around in amazement at the sections of the castle as i explored it's seemingly infinite corridors. The animation for your main character and your enemies is fluid, nuanced, and wonderful to look at. And, unlike many games from the PS1 era, hold up fantastically today.
6015 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 All I can say is I rarely beat RPG's I normally get bored maybe half way through and stop playing. I don't even known what I really like about this game but somehow it sparked my interest and kept me playing. I believe it was the games reasonable difficulty and funny story line.
3289 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Resident Evil is the best out of the lot. The graphics on this are the best that i have seen of any Resident Evil game, and the puzzles have been taken afurther which i am glad about as in all of the other Rsident Evils all of the puzzles were similar. The game is longer than all of the other Resident Evils, and in like some of the previous games you get to take on the roles of other characters. The zombies are more intelligent and there seems to be a better feel to this game than all the others. Congratulations to Sega for producing the best game out of the series
WWF War Zone is an innovative game for taking wrestling to new heights, but it was the WORST thing that could have happened. Graphically, WWF War Zone is the first of its kind. Being the first means it's bound to have some flaws (despite the fact that existing is its biggest flaw!) Another MAJOR problem with the game is how SLOW it is. After the adrenaline-rushing WWF In Your House, we now experience wrestlers walking around in the ring VERY slowly. Painfully slow, in fact. Going from WWF In Your House to WWF War Zone is like going from a cheetah race to a snail race. Your grandparents can wrestle each other faster than the wrestlers in this game. To be fair, the ONLY thing WWF wrestling games today have improved is the speed. Everything else is the same as it was 10 years ago.
Diablo was a game where you played a hero of one of three character classes - Warrior, Sorcerer or Rogue. This hero operated out of a small town called Tristram, underneath which Hell itself was opening up. At first simply trying to clear the local corrupted Cathedral of vermin infestation, the hero soon discovers that something much more sinister is afoot. Hence you keep going deeper and deeper through the game until you discover that none other than the Lord of Terror himself - Diablo - is at the root of all the problems. You see, he, along with his two other brothers - form the Three Prime Evils. They got banished from Hell by lesser evils and then rampaged around the world until they were captured in soulstones given to mortals by the angel Tyrael.
2910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My FOREVER favorite Game...It actually came with the Game novella-Game pamphlet! Great shape. Thanks for helping me relive My Childhood.
Character animations are done in superb quality, with a lot of details in conveying emotions with the animated bodies. The environments are also crafted well, with excellent architecture that never makes you feel that you are running through a maze.

5167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A masterpiece from Hideo Kojima. The story, and each of the bosses are ones of the best in video game's history. Gameplay is a mix of stealth and action. Probably won't have a wow factor like it used to 15 years ago, but this is a game that shaped video game industry! Get it! You will love it.
Yep ..its EXACTLEY the same. Of course, that's not really a bad thing considering how great the gameplay is BUT it's just sooo sooo ...REPETITIVE!! All Blizzard needed to do is add more depth to the gameplay, and it would of recieved a perfect score. But still, while repetitive .. it's very replayable and fun ..especially since Diablo II has Battle.net to back it up ;)
Homeworld is the space-game other corporate driven studios would have loved to have produced, but, because of their own power structures dictating their creativity, can't. They're incapable of doing so, and when they tried tended to botch the effort.
8204 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This X game was just tedious. I remember the original X game on the SNES was fun, as were X2 and X3, but this one was just bad. Playing as X or Zero was fun, but Zero was hard to control and both storylines were, well, boring. I was almost to the point of yawning. Plus, it was easy to figure out who the final boss was for anyone who has ever played an X game. Additionally, some of the upgrades to Xs armor made him harder to operate, and, well, I guess what I really want to say is this was boring. I was bored stiff. I couldn't wait to beat it so I could move on to something else. Unlike X, X2 and X3, there is almost no replay value in this game. I mean, beyond the cheat codes for the special X armor and Dark Zero, nothing. I only hope that X5 and X6 are better, but I'm not sure if they will be.
Pros: The graphics are much more accurate to the arcade than the Genesis version.
- Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions
This game is also the first in the series to add character peripherals such as "materia". Materia can be equipped and can be made more powerful each time it is used.
Cons:Some Parts Aren't As Fun As Others.
7527 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 As the other reviews have stated, this is a very boring game. You are Batman or Robin set out to save Gotham from the Riddler and Twoface. An interesting thing to this game is that the buttons are set up like Mortal Kombat, high punch, low punch, up to jump and select to use your grappling hook. When you start each level you make a choice of two extra weapons like smoke bombs, gas guns and baterangs. There's not much to the game, you move straight through on a set side scrolling platform path beating up bad guys. The graphics are pretty amazing, being that the game is so much like Mortal Kombat, so are the graphics!
Lastly, the graphics must be spoken of. Unfortunately, there isn't much to say: on the various zoom levels, the battlefield ranges from "hard to see" to "pixilated". The characters are hard to tell apart, especially when they stand in a group. The spell effects are functional at best. In other words, nothing a persistent gamer can't handle.
Game play is easy. You are caught in time blocks and to complete each time block you have to perform certain series of required actions. This is what I liked best about the game because you get the feeling that you are moving in the right direction and hence you needn't worry about replaying any part of the game.
4240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While Gabriel is protecting the infant heir of an English Prince from "the night visitors", the baby is kidnapped right out from under his nose. Gabriel trails the kidnappers to a small town in France called Rennes-le-chateau, which is the site of an ancient mystery involving a buried treasure rumored to be the holy grail. Strangely enough, his old friend Mosely is also in Rennes-le-chateau on a "treasure-hunting tour". And of course, in classic mystery fashion, every member of the tour group has his or her own secrets, casting them all in a cloud of suspicion. Things really heat up when Gabriel's assistant/partner Grace arrives, and, similar to GK2, the player alternates between playing each of the main characters in a race to solve the mystery of Rennes-le-chateau and find the missing child.
The main objective in each level is to gain Pizza Planet tokens, which allow you to advance to further levels. You do this by completing the aforementioned tasks. In every level there are five tokens to be collected total; you must defeat a boss, collect five of something (sheep, green Army men, etc), complete a speed challenge, find 50 coins for Hamm, and a mystery challenge (ex: in the Construction Yard you must mix the paint colors in the correct combinations.) Additionally, in some levels, Mr. Potato Head has lost a part of his body, and if you can find it and return it to him he will let you use a special gadget, such as a grappling hook and hover boots.
Cloud is the main character of this game. He also makes an appearance in "Kingdom Hearts" as 3 or 4 bosses,he's easy.
"KI" I.M.O was one of the "Elite" games of this genre due to the fact that
Even when you have gone thru all the scenarios for this game you're STILL not done. You can have random scenarios constructed for you by the computer and then there are the death matches (impossible if you pick 7 armies against you). You can also play the game on-line against friends at the website (although you need a fast modem for this). The fun goes on & on!
9234 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Max Payne was billed as being one of "those games that will change gaming." With this type of hype, I was eagar to buy this game. However, after playing it through, and trying a mod or two, I must say that this will not change gaming. Its an OK game. I'd still take Half-Life over this game.
928 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works!
I think I had a nightmare about the cyborg assassins in this game -- the sign of a truly cool and frightening enemy. If you like half-life (or first person shooters in general) but would like something a little meatier that lets you have an inventory and customizable stats, SS2 is for you.
The transition to 3-D for Megaman isn't an ugly one, but a decent one. Most of the trees have a 2-D look to them and a lot of characters are blocky. Still, you can tell what everything is easily and there is no slowdown at all. Not to mention, there is hardly any load time to wait through in this game.
Obviously hardly anyone has a Sega Genesis so no one can play it, and I won't advertise using emulators because I don't know the code on that, but if you can get a working Genesis, this is the game you should invest your money on. It is, without a doubt, my most favorite game...and I have played literally hundreds.
Sega promises to continue making more games; I presume the future SEGA games will be even better because now SEGA can focus on producing a great game instead of worrying about how much they are losing profits on the consoles. Because SEGA will be a game maker for not only DC, but also for other systems such as PSone and 2, and X-box, they will have to be in the competitive market with other software producers; SEGA must not only live up to the standard people are used to seeing and playing, (i.e. NFL 2K1, Phantasy Star Online, SOnic), they will have to improve to win an edge over others. It means, consumers will see amazing games from SEGA, many of them playable on-line on DSL modems. The new web browser (v. 2.6 ??) comes with a useful function where you can talk to anyone in the world who owns a SEGA (with a microphone) for free; you can call anyone on a telephone for a small price.
6) 3D enviorment is well designed and easy to manuver through.
+ new soundtrack is great, the only song boat blow me away
The control is simple and responsive, which I like. This game to me was my first introduction to actual video games, sure I'd play Mario or Primal Rage or what ever on the old SNES. Then one fatefull day young Kazuki Ferret was (at age 8) introduced to Resident Evil. The game for him, challenging puzzles which tested intellect, well designed levels and characters, and o' course guns.

I write this review only a couple weeks after my latest playthrough, and the game still holds up extremely well. I thought that, with my years of gaming experience, catching the monkeys would be a lot easier. While I know most of the game's secrets, and the easier levels were far easier than before, the monkeys still prove a challenge to capture. The patterns for boss fights are easy to get down, and I experienced no degradation in my original copy of the game when playing on a PS3.
The atmospehere of the levels of the game is just the best ever in a game to date. For example in the mysterious forest the Lost Woods, u can actually feel it's mystery from the excellent music getting louder as u reach it's source and the way the whole place is designed.
I recommend this game if you have the patience and the equipment tofly it properly. If you are simply looking for something that will allow you to shoot down lots of

41 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I would like give this game 4 or 5 stars, if I could get it to run. Like others the game crashes on start-up or in the game and Codemasters has been absolutely no help in correcting it. Why they can't get their asses in gear (pun intended) and fix it I don't know, but with so many folks reporting the problem it isn't just occasional. I assume they either can't replicate the problem or just don't care. Lacking any help from Codemasters, I've tried the various fan fixes, including uninstalling Rapture 3D. Also tried installing on Vista and Win 7 and that didn't help either, which is a shame since from the other reviews it seems like a great racing sim.
Also a good laugh is the ball mode - which is like volleyball except you're trying to take away each other's health.

9762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game for my Playstation and LOVED it! Many, MANY hours went into playing ALL the races and ALL the cars.
4629 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...and it totally kicks a**, however the game play can be very difficult and take a while to get through. That's not neccessarily a bad thing though, too many times these days games can be beaten in a weeks times. So it's nice to have a game I can keep returning to and continue my challenge. If the 'Gold' is the same as the original only better than you'll be pleased with it for sure. I play on a 450hz AMD-K2 ProStar laptop w/ only 4mb of video power and the graphics are still awesome.
M16 Machine Gun
981 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the one game that I would play day in and day out, for more than a year. The one game where I discovered something new almost every time I played. It was the one game which brought me and my friends together religiously at least 3 or 4 times a week. Somehow it just wouldn't die, no matter how hard we tried.
This game is definitely more fun in a multi-player scenario, but it is also extremely fun using the computer as an opponent. You can play a free-for-all match (everyone against everyone) with up to 3 computer (or human) controlled characters, having each one the same or their own unique skill levels. There is also a Team-Battle, where you team up with a computer or a human to face another human/computer team.
"I am the best, yes, Impact"
-SOME OF THE BOSSES ARE FAR TOO EASY. It's true. Unlike the first game's bosses in which some were fairly easy, many of Dr. Robotnik's latest contraptions can be taken out in a pathetic matter of seconds.
391 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Looking anywhere else people will charge more than $80 for an old wonderful game like this. Classic games like these are hard to come by, wish I had traded in LESS of my games when I was young.
Then came Outlaws, a diamond in the rough, a hidden gem amongst the piles of other games that seemed to have everyones attention. Outlaws plays out like a classic spaghetti western. It consists of a wonderfull story that tells itself through handdrawn cutscenes and ingame action. You are a US Marshal, who has retired, but while away in town, outlaws set on vengence, kill your wife and kidnap your daughter, making your retirement shortlived.
This is probably the best aspect of the game. In this game you don't just play as Sonic, you can play as five other characters: Tails, Amy, Knuckles, E-102, and Big. You can't just pick whoever you want, you have to start as Sonic and earn other characters. One you earn another character, you can go play through their stories. You earn other characters by meeting them in the game. So, the stories sort of intertwine. You never wonder what other characters were doing because you can play as them all and figure out. Other than that, the story is you basic Sonic story. Dr. Robotnik is causes havoc and you have to stop him. It's just interesting because it shows how the story affects all the characters in the game.
6812 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of my favorite classic games and I was thrilled to find a copy. Now I can enjoy the nostalgia all over again!
3923 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a good game for the whole family and friend,I play with my younger brother all the time and my friends too. This game is very realistic like on TV,it's has over 2,000 puzzles to solve. This PC version is better then the N64 version I've play. END
Up to this point, I have kept (or at least tried to keep) retro-rating out of this review and I was considering dropping one of the five rankings to a 9 because I'm stingy with giving out perfect 10's. If I had rated this game when it first came out, it would probably be rated somewhere around 9.7 to 9.9. However, there is one reason, and one reason only, that I still own my N64 -- and that is to play Mario Kart 64 ... a decade later. (Note: I can't even say that about Zelda: OoT or GoldenEye.) That, in itself, I think warrants the move up to the perfect 10 rating. ... I guess this pretty much means that I'll have to give Super Mario Kart a 10 as well. I guess we'll see when I finally get it on Virtual Console. (For those of you who ask "Virtual Console? Why" Read: paragraph 2.)
10. N64: The (weak) closer dungeon is a tower.

I think this game is worth it new or used, and recommend it to bot-lovin kids.
6211 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game version of the popular sci-fi movie is excellent. The graphics, music and gameplay are first rate. As an added bonus, you can replay the game many times, as the endings vary.
**Thanks for reading, I'm not sure how I will be going through the games, I do plan to review all for Amazon but I don't know if I will do them chronologically or in the order of release. Just keep an eye on it if you are interested in reading the other ones.
+ However with that being said.. once you get used to the feel of the controller.. for some reason everything just feels natural... and you'll most likely love it.
Marching Milde's Fort
Although the plot might seem uninteresting at first, the small things will eventually win you over: you don't just get from place to place as need be - you buy train tickets, rent cars, command spaceships. Each location has a dynamic population. People move from screen to screen, walk by you, etc. If you approach, you can listen in on conversations without interrupting them. The superb graphics reinforce these wonderful qualities; as an example, the train sabotage scene on the first disk would be a lot worse without the realistic backgrounds rushing past you.
1554 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although most would refer to this as a shoot 'em up game it's really more of a strategy game because you must protect ally tanks until the get to enemy bases so they can assist and fortify you're base with gun buddies(also known as auto fire gun inplacements) and mine fields as well protecting the primary defenses(a goliath tank and 2 or more extra large gun buddies) plus you can take control of you're bases goliath tank and even take it off it's rail!
All in all, a good adaptation. Still, it'd be nice to see the release of more games like this -- mainly the first two LEGEND OF ZELDA games on one cart. Why don't they do this?? Perhaps with the release of the two new GB Colour Zelda games (they divided one game into halves and stuck it on the remaining two) we'll see a release of those two classic Zelda titles. Other than emulation or on the 8-Bit they're unavailable. That's a real travesty.

It's not all work. There are festivals to attend and pretty girls to talk to. You can upgrade your home with a second floor or with a cradle. Choose a girl to marry, and maybe your house will become a happy home with a growing family. Your chickens, cows, and even horse will share in the fun.

3830 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has the best graphics of any sports game I've ever seen, and it's extremely fun to play against a friend one on one. When playing in cold weather, each player's breath can be seen, which is just one of the awesome things you'll see here. A drawback is that you can't play a franchise mode like on Madden 2000, and this is a must now for die-hard football gamers. NFL 2K is better than Madden 2000 despite having less features because it simply feels more real. In Madden 2000, use the instant replay on pass receptions to see just how comical it looks when a pass just drops into a receiver's body without his hands moving, or his eyes focused on the ball. It looks as though you will not find this type of blocky and sometimes unrealistic gameplay on the Dreamcast. On NFL 2K, instant replays reveal true one-handed catches, balls going right through a receiver's outstretched hands, and other types of situations that look real. The running game in NFL 2K could use a little improvement, but overall this game is just pure fun and reality for anyone who enjoys playing football video games.
1478 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game itself was in "ok" condition and the case was good. I'm giving this 4 of 5 stars because at least the game works just fine. If it weren't for that, this would have been a 2 star rating at best.
851 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had to use a Gameshark to get the extra levels on this game. It's tough. It shows you just how hard it would be to be a secret agent.
-The sound effects are a major improvement over what the Super Nintendo could do. Likewise, THE MUSIC HERE IS PERFECT FOR AN X GAME. It's sort of a japanese 80's style techno-hardrock soundtrack. I love it. Most every track is memorable and goes well with each stage and the pace of the action.
Overall the game is worth playing because it is a lot of fun, forget the [stuff] that it spawned and play the first game, if you are an RPG Fan you will not be disapointed.
I gave this game 4 stars instad of 5 because you can't make Tails fly. Otherwise, this is a video game classic.
In addition to be to being quite possibly the best side-scroller ever made, Symphony of the Night's music holds true to the title with well-orchestrated tunes that only a jaded misosymphonist -yes, I made that up- could hate.
1291 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love the old school 64 mario
The game has great replay value as you can play on easy, medium and hard, and there are tons of secrets throughout the game. If it gets too easy for you, try beating the game with only your pea shooter blaster, you wanted replay value, there it is! Definately go out and buy this game it is an awesome addition to any collection. Regardless of how far graphics have come today, this game still beats out many current games in the shooter genere!! (I won't name names for fear of upsetting the little fanboys)
The best part of the game, the graphics. The FMV scenes are superior to every other graphics i have EVER seen in my entire life-span (yes including ps2 graphics), and even during gameplay the graphics are superior (during gameplay they are worse than ps2 graphics i might add), and the only flaw in them is the pixelations, as the characters look a bit fuzzy. but that problem is solved in FFIX.
My only problem was with the 3/4 view -- at some points it's hard to see what's going on with your rollercoaster as it interacts with other rides and the landscaping. This problem was easy to solve, as the view options allow you to "turn off" the rollercoaster supports, landscaping, paths, or anything else that gets in your line of sight.
565 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Stays true to the original. Mass destruction over multiple different levels of tracks. Its fun to play with a large group of people.

2. Not enough bad guys to kill in the Overworld.
But to help you in your stealth mission is a boatload of cool gadgets that would make James Bond blush. You got silenced handguns and machine guns. Thermal goggles. Night vision goggles. Mine detectors. And the simple yet fun cardboard boxes.
6011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me just start by saing this, when I first got this game I played for 9 hours straight. I can only type this because Battle net is down right now. This game is more addictive then crack. If You liked Diablo at all, you will love this game. it is more of the same, but it is GREAT. Nothing comes closes to the feeling of Diablo 2. I can't stop playing. Second if you never played Diablo Try the demos of the orignal, they are about the same, only Diablo 2 is better. Third This game, like most games, is not perfect. There have been many bugs and many bugs are still out there. but the fact of the matter is that they got most of the worst ones out in the first two patches. so it is pretty sweet right now. Fourth, the only really negative thing you can say about this game is that Battle.net (the internet version) of it is down more then I like. But This is only the first month, once they get the bugs out they should have a totally excellent gaming engine. Fifth. If you have not gone out to get this game, you are missing out on a great game. IT is not the next DOOM But the orignal Diablo changed the industry and the new Diablo 2 is still rocking. If you like RPG and such you will LOVE Diablo 2. If you don't like RPG then try anyways (I was never a fan before these games) If you hate RPG Please move along and find other games. One final word of warning. Make sure to have a weekend coming up when you get this game, because it is so addictive. And have fun because this is the game of the year.
Case in point, N64 = best and most reliable system of all time. There will never be another like it.
2088 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 KEEP AWAY UNLESS YOU ARE A FAN OF THE ALIEN SERIES!!!
Overall this game is good. I am one of those self-important jerks who things ff3 was the best though, but it did come close. It is defiantly worth playing.

4283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blizzard, probably the most succesful gaming company out right now, released a game called Star Craft. The game features 3 races, Terran, Protoss, and Zerg, each with their own abilities and units. The reason this game is so FUN to play and to deal with is the complete differences that each race has. In War2 both races were pretty much a like, but in SC & BW, each race is so different that all the time, even for the last 3 years, strategies keep coming up all over the place.
If you wanna play a classic fighting game, then try out Mortal Kombat.
On-line it is a total slaughter-fest even though the community has shrank n recent years as people have gone on to either the DF sequals or something else simply to combat the rise in cheating. The other versions of the game did a much better of keeping the cheaters out.
The disadvanges is that you can't swim. In the other to games you can but in this game, if you touch the water you will die!!

2739 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game does not, in fact, star Superman. It stars his genetically engineered clone created by Lexcorp known as Stuporman. Stuporman staggers like a drunken person, relies on power-ups for super powers, pulls punches so enemies beat him, likes random time limits (including ones that lead to an instant game over), can pass through solid objects like they aren't even there, and can die from things that cannot hurt the real man of steel in a million years, like ordinary bullets and explosions. He was created for the sole purpose of ruining Superman's reputation by making him look pathetic and weak. All part of Lex Luthor's evil plan! If you love Superman, don't buy this game, or you'll be buying into a lie!
GAMEPLAY
8285 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so HYPE! The controls are super smooth, the story is cool.(for a SNES game) And The graphics are so colorful and clear. Anyone with a SNES should have this game, along with Mario and Zelda. A SNES gem.
Heh, heh, heh...
595 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i didn't like this game when i first saw it at E3, but when i went back and played it, it turned out to be pretty good. Not too many boss monsters (i hate those things), some of the monsters are rather agile, the weapons are new, the graphics are extremely pretty (nice colors, great water), you can configure all sorts of things, there are some good guys to help you out (they show you hidden goodies) and the game makes a lot of effort to be stable. Hey, they even have a story and little logs you can read to get a feel for the story.
One purchase and playthough later I'm pleased to announce that Mario Land 2 is still the game I remember, a game that is in good company with other GameBoy classics like Kirby's Dream Land and Metroid II. Despite the fact that each Mario game tends to be special in its own way, I can't think of another game that parallels the refreshing variety seen in Super Mario Land 2's levels (even the levels within each zone are far from being rehashes of one another) and the zones are clever and keep you guessing with their occasional, alternate exits. As important as control and graphics are to the package, I have to go out on a limb and say the game's audio is the icing on the preverbal cake.
Game rarely lags or runs choppy even with 2v2 and 3v3 games.
This is a another great Lucasarts game that no Star Wars fan came miss. Buy it now!
6436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I must say that this game is the best game I have ever played. I bought this game a year ago and I have been getting better and better ever since. For those of you who don't know, Age of Empires 2: Age of kings is a game where you choose from 13 diffrent ancient civilizations( Teutons, Celts, Byzantines, Persians, etc) and build a Powerful Empire, then you destroy other players empires. The diffrent civilizations have almost completely diffrent technologies so it is impossible to get bored. The best part of AOK is multiplayer. I have made so many friends and have had so much fun. The most popular types of play online are Random Map (RM) and Deathmatch (DM). Random Map is where you start with a limited supply of resources in a dark time or the Dark Ages and work your way up. Death Match is where you start in the Post-Imperial Age with a huge supply of resources and basically get straight to the battle. Of course there are Scenerios, and Regicide but those aren't as popular. Another fun aspect of online play is the rating system. With this sytem you can see how you rank up to other players. In conclusion I would like to say one thing, BUY THIS GAME! YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Midnight Blue (Toys 'R' Us, Japan, 1999)

The game is understandably "dark". You are, after all, someone who keeps rising from the grave, wandering around a miserable little town full of unhappy people. It's probably not a game for 6 year olds, but most teenagers will easily relate to the misery of the town's occupants. You find things like clot charms to help heal your wounds, bandages to tape yourself back up. It's the same quests and challenges, but it's so much more ...
I haven't finished the game yet (I'm only half way through), so anything in this review could change, although it's unlikely. Most Naughty Dog games are consistantly good or bad in every way.
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
Conceding that, probably my biggest complaint about the game is the mirror shield. Its huge. It covers the entire Link sprite, and looks terrible. In essence, you can't really see link at all once you get the mirror shield, which is kind of a bummer. I'll also never understand why a "golden cartridge" edition was never released. At first, I would have believed that colored cartridges would not be available for the Super Nintendo, but later on the SNES would see a few colored cartridges such as the first edition of Maximum Carnage (red) and Killer Instinct (black). It is a bit puzzling, but I suppose it just was either not considered important or did not want to be done. However, other than that, i have no real complaints about the game. Im still in love with it.
The main plot is really good, intrigue based, although it seems that at some point you find yourself a bit "lost" in all the subquests and explorable areas there are, that you almost lose sight of the "real" goal of the game.
I think that's all for this reveiw, in the end I hope you get it. Bomberman is a star in nintendo and your about to find out why I presume ;)
670 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Grim Fandango will definitally be enjoyed by fans of film noir and mexican mythology. I'd give it a 4 and a half if i could. The graphics have their flaws and the game runs choppy on systems not far ahead of the system requirements. Some of the puzzles are utterly impossible to figure out without incredible luck or the aid of a stradegy guide but the game is truly astonishing. You follow the character Manny Calavera, a travel agent for the dead, guiding souls to their final resting place in the best way possible. For some reason, Manny is denied any premium clients. Whos behind all this? Find out over a 4 year journey from the dusty streets of El Marrow, to the edge of the world and back again. Absolutely beautiful backgrounds and film noir-ish music immerse you in the atmosphere. Clever interface and variable controls are great. A very involving game. Not too long not too short. Humor and wit are weaved through every scene. In conclusion, film noir style, surreal visuals, toe tapping and ensuing music, gripping story, charming characters, and challenging puzzles will intrigue all game fans.
In terms of music well, it's hit or miss. Some people like rock and roll and metal while others prefer to stay away with it and prefer something far less manyly. Like say Justin Beiber or Barneys sing along, these people are obviously deluded and if you know someone like this you should have them commited. This game is Metal enough and those that say otherwise are just wrong.
The game is set in Faerun, of the Dungeons and Dragons fame. Don't worry though you will not need to know basically anything about Faerun at first to enjoy the land and it's people, which is why this game is so wonderful. Once you are in the game and playing you will not feel out of place at all. If you are looking for a unique and seamless fantasy setting then you have found it. This is a beautiful world teeming with life and unique characters and once you finish Baldur's Gate, I know you will read up more on this "Faerun." It is that immersive.
And for the most part, you would be right. But what's this Sierra is claiming with Homeworld? A 3-Dimensional RTS? "How's that possible?" you ask. Well, I asked the same thing and plopped my money down (after a while, since I was doubtful) but all my reservations were quickly put to rest. Amazingly, it works. A true 3D RTS on your flat, 2D screen. Sierra did it, and they did it well.
2317 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first got this game, (my cousins bought that for my birthday) I put it in my PS2 and play it. It's like you gather three of your friends and save the world yadayadayada...
5249 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great and very, very, hard game but I beat it in one year. It as cool level's like the city of the dead and one big tomb. You go out and buy the game to know what I am talking about.
The controls are good, for arcade standards, but I do have one complaint. For some reason, my super controller (the ones with the extra buttons and modes) does not work well. The control pad is useless and instead you must maneuver the character using the extra buttons and even the start button. Yes. The start button moved the player foward. So, if you are going to play, use a normal controller.
-Fun!
This version on PS1 is OK, however the collision detection is not that great when it comes to really fast pace controls, which is probably why this game is loved by those who play it, but interest in battling it out with experts just as good as themselves never really interested a great deal of players due to the collision of the PS1 programming, and PS1 being the most popular and easy version to find for home consoles.
5269 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, if you're one of those kids I see hanging around in the software store fidgeting and constantly moving around anxiously picking up one box and tossing it aside to pick up another....Or if you LOVE your console system and don't understand the benefits of gameplay depths the PC offers....Or if you can't stand Microsoft Flight Simulator because you can't shoot anything....Then this game is not for you.

2272 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Some of the coolest new games coming out are going to require this to play so you better get yourself one now. It will be well worth it. It'll soup up some older games that are made to work with it as well.

The story is fine. And it is a good challenge in game play. But its never a good game where the main challenge is the broken controls. Game better left lost to the sands of time.
People will undoubtably compare Rollercoaster Tycoon to Sim Theme Park. I my opinion there is no comparison RT wins all the way, even though STP has more features (3-D view, first person view, etc.). STP just can't capture the fun the way RT does.

WCW Thunder had a lot to offer fans when it was released. For starters, you had some 60 superstars to choose from, including the biggest names around such as Goldberg and Hogan; all kinds of other hidden wrestlers also lay buried inside the game, waiting for you to win with certain characters (or use the handy dandy cheat codes) to unlock them-everything from made-up goofy characters to the wrestlers who got beat up for a living every week to announcers to members of the Nitro Girls (including the luscious Kimberly). While certain basic moves worked for all wrestlers, each individual wrestler, including the hidden ones, had their own signature moves. Thus, you could have Goldberg take his opponent out with the Spear followed by the Jack Hammer, or have Lex Luger turn a man into a little baby while hoisted up in the Torture Rack. Each wrestler came with his own theme music and personal allegiance, but you had the option of changing a guy's alliance. This could become important in terms of one of my favorite features of the game, the ability to have an ally come to the ring to help you avoid a loss or just to help you beat the heck out of your opponent.
4193 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is phenominal to say the least. It is very fun and was the first RTS game i've ever played once a friend introduced me to it. It is so much fun to play and very addicting. The only reason I sold it is because not many people play online, and the ones that do will take you out in a heartbeat and the single player missions go by pretty fast. This game would be incredibly fun to play at a LAN Party but I never went to one yet.
4512 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let me start out by saying I waited some time until purchasing this software because of the bad reviews. I'm a huge fan of the first two games but decided to hold off on this one until the price dropped. (Something about not having Sid Meier's name in the title.)
5825 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Check the date on my review - 3 years old and this game is still fun to play. That's saying something. Pharaoh is basically SimCity set in Ancient Eygpt (or if you're really picky, it's Casear3 with new graphics). Not only does it take the great classic city-building game and place it in a compelling setting, but it also adds some much needed depth to this type of game, like huge monuments and pyramids for you to build.
When Sega failed YET AGAIN with the Saturn, people finally couldn't TAKE anymore. Anyone who was still a Sega fan by that point pretty much lost all hope. Sega was now the enemy and they had to go. A gaming console needs a giant selection of games, and unfortunately Sega only understood that ONE TIME in their lackluster history (with the Genesis). Every other console they released only had a few classics to choose from among a bunch of average games.
My only complaints with this game lie in with the scoring system and Chaos Emeralds. The scoring system for the fact that unlike the sequels to this game, you didn't get any rewards for reaching certain numbers of points.
--- The design of the touch screen controls makes it difficult to switch between atk/def modes.
There is little action for the punch-em-up enthusiasts - but they're unlikely to be reading the review anyway.

It also rus in progessive scan with a framerate that never falters no matter how intense battles get. Not only that it looks better than the arcade version, quite possibly the first game to accomplish this feat.
4619 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Fallout was the best RPG of 1997, almost by default. Fallout 2 is basically more of the same, which is good. However, it also revived a slew of minor upgrades from enhanced NPC control to extra animations.
Conclusion:
On the upside, it is still a good game with great graphics, and some incredibly cool moments. I'd give it 3.5 if I could, but I guess 4 will have to do.
Game lengths aside, Pharaoh is as fun and addicting as any strategy game I've played, and the city-building style is always a refreshing change from the "Gather>Build Units>Destroy Enemy" formula that most RTS games employ. In Pharaoh, if you don't make your city work, or plan, or listen to your people, you'll be one unhappy city manager.
8011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! A Zelda on a 16 bit system? That's what I said at first when I found out that a new game in the series was coming to the SNES, and what a surprise it was! Those of us who have been with Link since the old school days of "The Legend of Zelda" really appreciated this one when it came out. The graphics were intense the plot was deep, and there were so many new things to find. A person could immerse themselves in this game for hours and even days on end without stopping to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom (yes that was me, well almost). I remeber the countless hours I spent finding heart containers, weapons, and other things in this game, along with all of the good memories that it brought as well. The dungeons seemed immense and endless with the multiple floors that were introduced in this game, and continued throughout the series. I highly recommend this game, and as with everyone else that fell in love with the Zelda series this game is one of my most prized games and I will hold in my collection as long as I live.
In KQ1 and 2, the puzzles are mainly based on remembering rhymes and fairy tales (e.g., you know Little Red Riding Hood needs a basket to take to her Grandma's house), but with KQ 3, the storylines start to become more complex and original and interesting, and actual problem solving starts to come into play. And with KQ4, the graphics start to become more artistic (although still primitive by today's standards).
What's really awesome about this game is how you can play with another player in a co-op mode (Co-op Mortal Kombat, eh?). However, that might make the game kinda harder.
Okay, those were the bads. Here are the goods.
I am buying this game this week so I figured I should write a review for fun.
then there is the main bad guy sepheroth... many people say he is the best bad guy EVER!!!! "Sepheroth is so BAD TO THE BONE man he rulz!!!!" he was equally as much of a whiny emo brat like cloud (he wanted to destroy the world cause he missed mommy and a whole lot of other silly plot twists to make the storyline seem more advanced and mature). and i say this whoile heartedly....if you get defeated by a group of 1)an emo whiner 2) a woman who has no real point in life other than to be said emo's love object (and to sell units do to sex appeal), and 3) a CAT riding a robotic stuffed animal you are A) not BAD TO THE BONE and B) disqualified from the greatest villain of all time list. sorry.
This was the first fps i ever played and I think it did very well for its time. It can be a tad clunky at first once you get a groove your good to go. The stage layout is great, the bonus stages are a cool touch, and those queen battles always got me pumped as a kid.
5673 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I loved this game for the first disc it was a little slow paced, but I enjoyed it after the first disc the game can get very boring
The graphics are decidedly sharp for a low-polygon count game, and the lighting and textures are superb. Animation and other movement is actually somewhat realistic, and its nice to see that things are finally changing in the world of FPS.
3810 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a hoot. Taking the original's over-the-top Evil to a new level in graphics and a far improved first-person engine, it basically polishes and refines the gameplay of DK1.
THE BADS OF THE GAME
In conclusion- if you own a Playstation One console and want a good first-person shooter, you can't go wrong with this fantastic version. In some areas, such as graphical colors and the appropriate buttons used on the Playstation controller, it might even put the PC version to shame.
3703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games ever made top 10 rpg of all time
5801 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is the fourth Lara Croft adventure game based entirely in Egypt. A very long and challenging game built on a nice engine with great graphics, Neat animations and neat sound effects. Good storyline and great gameplay with infinite saves. Awesome lighting effects and a creepy atmosphere. Great puzzles but a lot of annoying false paths. Very challenging gameplay but can be too challenging at times because no difficuly option. Good level design with a helpfull training level, But the hub level layout is very confusing and easy to get lost. A Lot of fun doing all the jumping but the controls are as usual very badly done, Auto aim is not perfect and the manual aiming is impossible. Enemy AI is super dumb. Tomb Raider Last Revelation well deserves 4 stars but i will give it only 2 because it does not have good key controls and a difficulty option.
What makes BZ2 better than BZ1?
The storyline has more plot twists than a pretzel. You'll get lost in it several times and some of it doesn't really make sense... but it keeps you hooked. Hooked as if your sensitive areas were going to explode if you stopped playing. This game is dated by today because of the second and third Silent Hill's, but I still find this game to be creepy today. To tell you the truth, while I hate comparing games, I do find this game to be scarier than "Resident Evil." While both game series are fun, this one has that series beaten in the "creepy" department; evil nurses and demon children will attack you when you least expect it, even with your radio blaring out static. In fact, you'll hear crazy sounds while you're playing it, and you'll be scared EVEN when your radio is not on (which by the way, the radio tells you if enemies are nearby. If it's not blaring out static, no monsters are near you). The environments, especially in the nightmare world LIKE THE FRIKKEN HOSPITAL, are downright scary and provide an atmosphere that's incredibly attacking your senses. There are three endings and one alternate "funny" ending involving aliens, which makes the game more interesting. The game is reasonably hard with its downright mindboggling puzzles and religious symbolism, but with a strategy guide (or a friend who knows what he/she is doing), this game actually isn't all that difficult. What MAKES it difficult is whether or not you can sit through this terrifying game all the way through it. ;)
2) bugs, sometimes the whole game blinks out of existence and you end up staring at the desktop after losing an hour and a half on a mission...and as I said, you couldn't save. So, ok, let's do it all over again.
The difference between II and 3 is that in II Wario has all his skills available. It becomes impossible, just at the very last game, at least for me.
If your an RTS fan you have to pick up this game if you have never played it.
The game is not hard to figure out in terms of fighting and leveling up so getting right to the game play is what you do. It is near and dear to my heart.
I will comment that the translations are pretty awful, the letters appear S - L - O - W - L - Y on the screen and the plot is rather complex with names and alliances to keep track of. But that's a minor flaw given how fun the game is.
9692 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I know nothing about Pokemon, however I have learned with this game, and I had some fun while doing it! This is the first game to bring the Pokemon to life in their true 3D habitat as you ride in a little car taking pictures of the Pokemon. There are only six levels, each with about 15 or 20 Pokemon in each. The Pokemon each have their little powers and when they get together they fight or do little dances. The game moves a little slow because you are stuck in a car that is moving along a track, but there are items you get later in the game to speed up the car and to help you get better pictures, like sneeze balls, apples to feed them, a flute. Parents should even play this game to learn the Pokemon names and habits to better understand their childrens interests. This would be a five star game, however there were only about 60 Pokemon and not all of the original 150.
3382 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let me give it to you really short and sweet! Did you like Resident Evil? Then you will like Dino Crisis; it's Resident Evil with dinosaurs. All Capcom did was change the characters and instead of shooting zombies you get to shoot and kill raptors and other dinosaurs that are trying to eat you.
5618 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Give it a chance. It's actually a decent game.
Like the Command & Conquer games, you have to harvest resources and build a massive army. But there are two big differences - the space fleet you build in one mission is carried over into the next mission. I enjoy this aspect of the game - there's a deep sense of satisfaction when you see the massive fleet of 10 ion-cannon frigates, 5 destroyers and 2 heavy cruisers you just built.
-You are restricted to 1 alternate ability; this becomes very confining at times.
1613 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the greatest PS2 game to ever have been created. I love shooting that flaming skull out of the back of Grim Reaper and hitting axle in his stupid face. and don't even get me started on how much I hate sweet tooth, and that stupid, seemingly unending supply of bouncing ice cream cones!
Cons: No blood
The storyline is quite simple. It's Pac-Man's 20th anniversary, and the Pac family is gearing up for it. They're preparing a big party, but suddenly, guess who shows up and kidnaps them? That's right the Ghosts. Their new boss, Toc-Man wants to replace the "Pac" in all the titles of Pac-Man's games with "Toc", thereby making himself the star of the series. So, Pac-Man must rescue his family.
My previous experience with this series includes X, XI, and a touch of XIII; I have to say that while I enjoy parts of X, on the whole I hate these games. Most of this hatred stems from having more hours of cut scenes than hours of actual gameplay. I also like RPG's to have a roaming element; I like being able to explore and I like finding sidequests and items. I did not get that with these titles. I expected FFVII to be the same and just riding its reputation.
4. The camera isn't the greatest.
Highly recommended.
2959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't think it matters if you buy the expensive CDs that could have scratches on them. Maybe just buy a digital copy on the PS3 or Steam. Not to say I didn't enjoy this game, but there is always the possibility of the CD scratching.
1784 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When the first Crash Bandicoot came out in 1996 I was amazed on an old game and game system could have great 3-D graphics and such great game play but it was kind hard. But in this one it's not as hard because you can crouch, slide and crouch jump so you can jump even higher! But the graphics are more cartoonish then they are on the first one. But this one had some levels I liked better than on the first one. YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS GAME!!!
Those are basically the only cons in the game. FOr Amazon's great price of $20, I think you'll be satisfied. It's on two CD's so it's a long game and worth your money! The game has never crashed on me and it runs smooth. This game makes Tomb Raider look like crap.
2042 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first mario party while not the best mario party,holds a lot of nostalgia for me.
Donkey Kong Country 2 is easily one of the best sequels ever made. It improves upon the original in every way and adds quite a bit to the formula. It's a great game that fans of any platformer should play. With the unique level designs and excellent presentation it is fair to say that Donkey Kong Country 2 has aged exceedingly well.
1758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this puts the most recent code veronica x to shame. it has the best story and best scare factor. sure, the graphics may lack a little, but its the original, first of its kind. i recommend playing this game before playing any more re titles so the stories actually make sense.
The game spans two discs and has three sidequests of great difficulty on the second disc. Unfortunately, they are very easy to miss and have some sweet rewards inside. Plus, after a certain point, you won't be able to go back and do them, so pay attention on the second disc.
The REAL fun of MW3 is online gameply, where you must outplay, outgun, and most importantly, outdesign your opponents. The mechlab, where you go to customize your multi-ton 'mech', is admitadly unrealistic, allowing the player to place multi weapons on a mech chasis obviously not made to have certain weapons in certain places, but it's also one of the most enjoyable aspects; with it you can place insane amounts of misilles or the dreaded Ultra autocannon 20 on each arm or torso side.
In general though, the graphics and gameplay on this game are quite better than I had expected from a game that touted male-only characters. If only they had put a bit of effort into thinking about the people playing this game, and what they would want to play! I would have rated this game extremely highly, instead of only reasonably high. Worth renting to play through, but not a keeper.
455 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, I just recently bought this game again, after finding it broken from unkown causes quite a few years ago. People keep on saying, "Tekken 2 has HORRIBLE graphics and the gameplay is horrible!", To those people, did you ever think that this game came out during the 90's and was probably awesome graphics back then? If you're a fan of good fighting games, I reccomend this. It has lots of characters, fair graphics, and is a good collectible for your Tekken collection.
Each level sports five flowers, twenty red coins, and thirty starmen. To 100% the levels (and unlock the bonus level found at the end of each of the six worlds), you must find all items. Also, the levels are LONG, and have no time limit.
Game Play: A+
767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome game and works great
1976 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I respect this game it is very good and takes me back to my childhood I just don't care for this type of game flying around shooting but for that type it is good
7573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As great as I remember it! This classic is a worthy challenge for any gamer who likes the old-school Zelda games.
Music (score 7/10): Music is decent, nothing that would make you buy the soundtrack or anything. There are a couple vocal tracks in the game, which are also decent. Thankfully, Luna's singing voice isn't too grating on the ears. I still don't understand, though, why everyone in the game keeps referring to her amazing singing voice, when in my opinion, she is only average. Well anyway, there is limited voice acting in the game during scenes and also a couple battle phrases. The voice acting is pretty good; the only voice I'm glad we don't hear much of is Nall's, which I imagine would get really annoying (it's high-pitched and squeaky). You don't get to hear much voice acting anyway, since it's really only present during cutscenes.
9774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 is one of those games I've beaten so many times lost count. This is one of the masterpieces in gaming history I first purchased this back when it got released. Amazing graphics, story, characters and overall great balance with puzzles, scares, and action. Everyone who is a fan of zombies and Resident evil needs to play this at least once.
4242 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft???Also known as hours of fun.

9426 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Love game
I fixed the problem by adding a usb extension cable to each mic. This added an extra $5 cost per mic and gave me 3ft. For 6ft it would have been a $5.50 increase and for 9ft, $5.80. Even with the extensions you're still looking at a cost savings over the "Rock Band" mic of $10
Those unfamiliar with Beavis and Butt-Head simply need to know two things: 1, they're idiots. And 2, they are so renowned for their stupidity and penchant for mayhem that everyone in their town of Highland is out to stop them--from cops, to their neighbors, all the way up to their teachers and the very birds in their neighborhood!
So, why not all 5 stars? Well, there's the story... while most of the story is wonderful, there is just one critical part of it that seems to have been completely uninspired... the Ending. I won't spoil it, but I will say that I found the ending very disappointing and even a little depressing. I found myself saying, "What? That's it?" It seems as if they were in a rush to just finish the game and as a result produced a very shabby end to an otherwise awesome game.
Super Smash Bros reinvented the rules of fighting games, combining platforming with fighting moves, such as punching, kicking, etc. What's even more of a no-brainer is how several Nintendo franchises crossed over to star in this one game. Each character has their own abilities, such as Mario throwing fireballs, and Fox using his laser gun.
2244 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For anyone who still owns or wants to buy a N64 you simply MUST have the expansion pack.
Online play: (5/5) - The best of the best!
9718 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a super fantastic great product at a great price. I'm very happy with it and glad I made the purchase. You will be too, so don't wait until they are all gone. Trust me, if I didn't like it, I wouldn't say that I did. I like it a lot.
Twisted Metal Head On: This is the spirtual sequel to twisted metal 2 its graphics and gameplay feel like they derived from number 2 however i would not say gameplay is quite as good as number 2 it does have all new stages and solid gameplay with new upgrade system after you kill an opponent you can collect a drop from them to increase your fire power this could be considered better or worse.
8946 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 love this as a kid and still do
3576 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though the mighty Sega Dreamcast was discontinued around August 2001, it remains my favorite gaming system even with the XBOX and PS-2 being wildly popular. The Dreamcast has 128-bit graphics which is still incredible and on the same powering level of PS-2. The game selection is excellent (Soul Caliber, Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, Mortal Kombat Gold, Dead or Alive 2 and a bunch of others) The Dreamcast controllers, despite looking awkward, are very comfortable to use with all the buttons and triggers in the perfect places which provides fast response. Another big plus is that the Dreamcast has 4 controller ports (Playing with friends on San Fransisco Rush 2049 couldn't be more fun!) The Dreamcast is very easy to hook up, plays music cds and has an optional phone jack where you can go on the net.
The ring-shot mode is challenging as well - you must hit your ball through one or more rings on the course and finish the hole in par or better. Clearing rings will unlock characters as well. If you think the first few tasks are easy, they will get tougher as you advance! Character-by-character progress is saved for this as well.
With that small amount of inconvenience, however, this is a great game for computer users of all ages, and with the varied terrains available, one able to always offer a new challenge!
I haven't had any problems with the inteface. I find its complexity adds to the realism of the game.
In 1999, Sega knew they wouldn't be able to compete with the Playstation 2, so they finally did the right thing in early 2001 by announcing that they would never again make another video game console. Sega was DONE. They admitted defeat. That, my friends, made milions and millions of people very happy. No more junk on the market. That announcement was the best thing that could have happened, and if you happened to glance outside that day you would have noticed the sun smiling down on everyone.
5518 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED
And finally as far as length of time it can stay interesting is a long time. Final Fantasy 7 is not a game you well beat in four or five games. You well defiantly have to buy this game to beat it. It's well worth the price though.
The CONS: None.
STRIDER
I'll stop short of comparing the game directly to other Final Fantasy titles. I firmly believe that this is a quality game and worth experiencing to any fan of the series or RPGs.
9994 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome!!!
5408 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is very good. It combines the good things of the original Mortal Kombat with (few) good things of the later Mortal Kombats such as (MK3 & MK3 Ultimate). It is worth buying if you still play your Playstation1, or if you are a die hard MK fan and you still want to play it on your PS2 IF you have one.
Another thing I didn't like is running. Not that running is bad, in fact I love the fact that you can move faster, the problem with it is that the background (trees, grass, etc.) really bothered my eyes with it scrolling past so quickly. That is not as big a deal as the run-a-way enemys, however.
3502 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm gonna make this short and sweet for you.
7134 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Not as advertised. My wife was scammed the same way when she bought me 2 controllers as a gift. THEY ARE NOT NINTENDO CONTROLLERS. It doesn't match up to the yellow & green N64 official controllers I have. They have a grey connector not the blue as in the picture (meaning it's a knock-off). I am not bothered about buying knock-offs but do not assume this is a nintendo controller. Will work fine sometimes and not others.
While other Sonic games like the lock on Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, Sonic CD and especially Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX took the Sonic franchise steps and leaps further in terms of graphics and sound the original Sonic The Hedgehog will always be my favorite.
1. If you like exploring new worlds by dashing through them and shooting things, you may find that the pace of this particular game is too slow.
Gameplay- it is amazing, the controls are odd, but is is a pioneer in the control scheme of today's FPS's. Once you get used to moving around, the game is just too much fun (even better once you get guns, rather than using a bow). There is good multiplayer too. It always feels good to leave an opponent screaming, ready to throw their controller when you get em with the weapon that scrambles their brains (yes, there is one of those, it locks on too...)
the creator said on his web site that he was trying to get other stores to participate and sell his product if he can sell enough of them but that never happened. i remember going to his web site and seeing sonic the hedgehog standing by a tomb stone weeping at the death of the product he was trying to create.
Otherwise another five star winner from Nintendo.
9573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a little different from the other PS one Final Fantasy games. You have many characters and can send some on sidequests to earn money and experience while proceeding thru the game with other characters. There are jobs the characters can learn which give them abilities. The battles are different than early FF games and require more thought. The terrain in the battlefield varies and you need to be able to jump or do things like that to reach items.
Nintendo won the war and is presently handing Sony and Microsoft their butts on a silver platter.
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete concerns itself with Alex. He one day dreams of being a Dragonmaster. Just like his hero, Dyne. He figures he'll just have to keep dreaming, though. Until his friend Ramus has a plan to go into the White Dragon cave and get a hold of the White Dragon Diamond. Finally, a chance for Alex to go on an adventure. But it ends up becoming much bigger than he ever dreamed.
619 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game. Love it!!!
Smell that? No, it's not a chocobo farm. That's nostalgia.
Ok, they did include a few of them, but only as helpers, if they made them as default playable characters, this game would have been way more awesome than it already is, and that would totaly rule!)
Almost everything in this game is a masterstroke, although it takes cute a machine to play it. But if you have a Pentium 400 or above with a lot of ram, and a videocard (12 md over more) there's absolutly no problem in playing this, even in 1280 x 1024.
8162 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great kit if you don't the tool to do it your self. I've made own cards for the cleaner slot to keep the originals from being used.
But as I was saying, Final Fantasy VII is NOT OVERRATED. But it IS over-hyped, and often for the wrong reasons.
Devourer. In the original the air unit "Mutalisk" could evolve further into a "Guardian". These flying hulks could fire balls of acid and chemicals at untis on the ground and could do great damage in numbers. The only problem was that they could not attack air units. Not the Mutalisk can also evolve into the Devourer. They fire clumps of acid spores at enemy air units. These spores would upon inpact burst off some excess acid which would land on adjecant opponents. They would stick too there targets and eventouly eat through the hull of the ships. Ofcourse these airborne Juggernauts can't attack ground units.
even though MGS3 is my favorite...
952 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good working N64 game cartridge in good condition, same for the box. A great find of a timeless classic. AFAIAC this is the best Mario Kart.
Each character you play has a completely different method of gameplay for you to use. It's fantastic because it makes the game highly variable. Once I'd just about gotten the mecc's weapons & strategies down, the storyline progressed to Delphi and I had to learn to use spells and such. Not only that, but there are resource-collecting strategy elements involved. One has to collect little guys named Smarties and food/souls to feed them with so they can build a base for you to provide you with more powerful spells or weapons.
As for difficulty, it's no harder really than 2000. Some of the new features like garbage disposal, ordinances, and neighboring city dealings add depth and strategy without making the game unduly complex. Maxis should be commended for that.
9958 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i have an fc3plus and now im on amazon buying all my favorite throwback games...to be corny, its like im a kid again lol would definately buy from this seller again

This game started the franchise and even now, after 5 years, it still retains it's original flavor.
Its very intuitive and definitely gives you bang for your buck. the quest is like in the NES version, but with mode 7 and orchestra music!
7081 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The blue controller that my cousin had was the first that I had seen at that point in time. We've used it countless times and guess what? It works fine. No buttons wearing out or anything of that sorts. My cousin and a couple of friends had so much fun with Super Smash Bros. and of course, we used the blue one amongst other colored ones.
see that it has a heart on its own like no other. Trust me, i'm a 28 year old gamer that has played many things so I can assure you that this is one of the best of all time.
Apart from that, this game rocked.. my the Shwartz be with you.
4423 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off it isn't a first-party (made by Nintendo) controller, and there is nothing on the packaging or on the controller itself that screams "NINTENDO" so don't look for it. All you need to know is that this controller works, perfectly just like the original controller. Lots of people have given this controller negative reviews, but I can't figure out why other than because they expect it to function and feel just like an original controller. Pfheh!!! Granted the L and R buttons click and the plastic feels cheap, as long as you can pull off moves in your favorite games, that's all that matters! And this controller definitely delivers.
Combat sequences boast a fully destructible environment, a rarity in classic gaming! Need to get down to a lower floor? Blast a hole and drop down! If there's a tree blocking your view, turn it into kindling with a well placed shot then take aim at your newly exposed enemies. You can even level a hill if you have the firepower! The designers should be proud, they thought of everything.
5875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything as expected. Thank you.
Which, sadly, is exploding while sad music plays.
Silent Hill will always be remembered as a game that did revolutionize the survival horror franchise and we have Silent Hill to thank for many of the games that are out today.
*At some point, for about 90% of the people who play this, your blood will be boiling at how impossible this game can really seem.
I played it for weeks on end, exploring every dialog option, trying everyting, just to find out more about the strange places I found myself.
As for the game being an interactive cartoon, it really nails that. The game has a great sense of humor (EX: In the park, Pac-Man trips on rock, and slips on a skateboard, causing that skateboard to fly up in the air and land straight onto his head - There's also a billboard in the city that shows an anime person holding a hamburger. Pac-Man smiles as a laughable reaction to the billboard). Many things you shoot with the slingshot can cause a gut-buster.
8462 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In this platformer you navigate Wario (Mario's evil counterpart) through fun platforming goodness. With interesting powerups such as the Bull helmet and Dragon Helmet to deal with enemies. You can also simply toss them, tackle them, and jump on them! The Jet helmet helps you traverse the level swiftly. Garlic replaces the super-mushrooms in S.M also. This game is as good as I remember.
5629 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is not need to say anything about this, because you already know what you will be purchasing. Final Fantasy rocks!
Mario Kart is absolutely worth checking out for the Nintendo 64, despite the fact the Nintendo 64 has no more new games for the system. If you buy it only for yourself, your better off bringing in a partner for the ride.
The scenery in Tomb Raider is better than most games, although it is mostly cubed and flat. The game play and plot are wonderful, and the graphics and sounds are acceptable. However, the artificial intelligence enemies are less than intelligent, and the gamer is often left feeling underestimated with the ease of some of the puzzles. Laura's moves are limited, and the weapons supply is less than perfect.
5888 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The adapter does just what you'd expect: plug your GBC into the wall and play without using up the battery power of your AA's.

Pretty easy game

StarCraft has three separate races that you can play -- each with its own flavor (and set of 10 missions in the campaign) that makes the game a different experience and forces you to adopt different strategies based upon what you're playing and what your playing against. The single-player game has a great storyline that feels important and enjoyable all at once. Campaign missions aren't just for training you in how to use units anymore.
730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this when it first came out on the Nintendo 64. Once I started I couldn't put it down until I beat every level on every difficulty. Back than my friends and I worked 2nd shift and after work would come over and play multiplayer into the morning. Occasionally I still get nostalgic and pop the cartridge in to revisit my favorite levels. The graphics are dated now but the game play is still fun. Researching the games development history to find things that never made it into the finished version but whose code is still included in the cartridge and can be accessed is interesting as well. If you have an old Gameshark for instance you can use it to walk to the mysterious island off in the distance of the Dam Level. A great game all around.
5295 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Harvest moon to me, like many others, is a good game for many reasons other than gameplay. The feeling of complete freedom is such a rare expierience in the realm of video games. And the idea of having another life, a dgital one, is crisp like always. But what is it SPECIFICALLY that satisfies me about this game? There is always alot to do. Somewhere between training your horse, cleaning, weeding, and sowing your garden during the spring fall and summer, and mining and collecting wood during the winter. Helping build a spa, finding a bride, and having a child, Im sure youll find SOMETHING to occupy yourself with. Also, the game provieds an air of nostalgia, and a feeling of warmth, and community no other game provides. In my honest opinion, this game is worth every second of searching it will take you to find it, and every penny you'll spend. This is an awesome game. If you'd like to email me, do it at [email]thanks! And i Hope this review helps!
Conkers Bad Fur Day (Most controversial game of all time until GTA: San Andreas)
Personally, I prefer this game over RE4 or RE5 any day. The horror element is strong in this title, not action-oriented like those other two games. The storyline and characters are excellent and well-done. For Leon's storyline, we see interaction and character development between him and the mysterious Ada Wong; for Claire, it's between her and the lost girl Sherry Birkin. The voice acting and writing for these characters are all done so well, which makes the game ahead of its time as corny voice acting was prevalent in most video games when this was released.
Gameplay D-
Looking at characters there is a nice variety. You have cyborgs, ninjas, assassins, mutants, aliens, lycanthropies, and even a skeleton (who has the funniest ending). No move is duplicated, each has their own set of specials and combos. However the finishing taunt (won't spoil it) is a little dumb, and the finishers are OK at best.
DIFFERENCES:
Resident Evil: Code Veronica takes place between Resident Evil 2 and 3, and once again features Claire Redfield and her brother Chris. This time Claire is being held prisoner on an Umbrella-owned, zombie infested island far away from Racoon City. On her desperate attempt to escape the island, Claire meets several characters - some helpful, but most not so helpful.
1452 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I started my first succesful city (w/o a starter city) and it was great! Then, after about two hours of gameplay, MY 855,500 pop. city had a problem with people. It must have, because in less than 20 minuets, My city was reduced to about 250,000 pop. Get this IT WAS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. My popularity was high, all of the ordenances I could have had were activated, all buildings had water and power, I had full funding to schools, firestations, police, ect., police and fire coverage were excelant, taxes were only at 3 for everything (Ind., Com., and Res.), and everything else you could think of, I had it. It was the perfect city and my whole population (who still liked by the way) left the city. If you have a good reason for it , I'd say it was a glitch in the game. Don't get me wrong, it is a fun game when there is a reason to the sudden drops, but I don't think you can have a real good city that lasts for more than four or five hours and there is no good city, they'll all die out eventually. The only option you have is LOSS. I am hoping that SC 4000 will be MUCH better.
So overall, this game is great in every way and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves stealth/action games.
1343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i don't think i really need to tell you why this game is amazing if you have played it you already know
When I searched the Internet, I found out there are other years of formula car models available, and many tracks. I have the '65, '66, '67, '69, and Formula 2 cars. I have downloaded some 20 additional tracks chosen for their graphics and driveability. I did have to load the latest "Gem 2+" Program to be able to operate the game with the additions from the Internet. All this additional game enhancement was at no cost (some sites ask for donations).
Even check out a cool feature where Lara can practice moves in her own estate!
4705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it's good
3) focusing to close on a battle causes incredible lag, esspecially durring internet gameplay.
Why is it "Great"? It's a real puzzle game. Not that there's always one solution, or a right or wrong way to do things, but it is a game that focuses on technique, creative thinking, finesse, and (sometimes) quick reflexes. There is no life bar; the game doesn't focus on that, or combat, it focuses on simply being able to figure out a solution and being able to execute it. And it's fun, not boring and repetitive, but also very challenging. And you have unlimited lives, which makes for playing with friends a lot of fun as you can pass around the controller to see who has the best ideas and skills. It is as much fun to watch as it is to play.
7290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a simply unbelieveable ride, with 10 courses, and lots of extras. You start out with only 4 boarders, but by completing tasks, you can earn others, like Boss. The championship mode is great, using all nine courses with lots of competition to almost melt the snow! Then, there is a mirror mode, and a hard mode, both equally great. The freestyle mode allows you to practice the courses and break records in time, trick, and total points. The starting records aren't very hard to beat, but it is fun to beat your own records. Then, there are two modes of Big Air. One mode is a regular trick mode, where you go off one of three ramps and pull the sickest move you possibly can. The other is a trick master mode, where you have to do the trick that appears on screen. Then there is a halfpipe, for pulling off MORE sick tricks for an official score, like the pros. Then, there is a board park, for pulling off even MORE sick tricks off giant ramps, barrels, and even CARS! The board creator is mostly useless, but so what? It's still a good diversion! What I also like is the hardcore soundtrack, chock full of alternative rock songs to bang your head to...or you would if you weren't playing the game. The only con is that the game is not as graphically rich as it could have been, but so what? Graphics don't always matter. Buy this, buy this, buy this, you will not regret it!!
While this game is not for people with a short attention span, those who enjoy a good strategy based game would do themselves well to get into Myst.
Each character also has a set of two special moves, which cost some of your lifebar to use. Each character has a stationary special attack that is best used when surrounded by enemies and on the brink of taking massive damage. Also, each character also has a flurry special attack that should be used to aggressively reduce the lifebar of a boss. Axl has a massive roundhouse punch and an incredible speed combination punch attack, Blaze has a scissor backflip kick and a hard force-push move, Skate has a headstand sweep move and an acrobatic flying corkscrew kick, and Max has a spinning hammer-throw move and a punishing dash-and-roll attack. Max and Skate's flurry attacks are especially effective if you have a boss pinned to the edge of the screen, your attack will be slowed down tremendously, but will take out the boss's entire lifebar. Max also benefits from having an extra motion when swinging a sword or pipe weapon, which will clobber the enemy behind you first before the downward part of the swing hits the enemy in front of you. Max was always my favorite character.
often mind you, but it is important to note that it does exist within the game, which is a
I don't think Final Fantasy VII is overrated. Almost twenty years later, it's still the game every JRPG tries to be. It actually broke the genre. It now exists as a standard that cannot possibly be met. The next successful JRPG will be the one that manages to break as much ground, sell as many copies, and stir up as much of a popular and critical tidal, and that's about as likely as Street Fighter V resurrecting the American arcade scene. In other words, at our current trend it's probably never going to happen.
VERDICT: You should definitely rent this game if it interests you at all (you will not be disappointed). I would not recommend buying it, though.
The reason why this game mainly revolves around these monsters is because of the storyline. Garrett, the thief you play, finds himself being involved with dark Pagan rituals, people who worship the forces of nature and live in woods.
2913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Alright first things first I played on my ps4 and did not buy off amazon so no comments about shipping etc but a few things, no. 1 if playing on a PS3 download play on standard tv no flat screen or had screen because it will look bad, especially since the graphics are unique, another thing is the game starts off slow for about an hour so have patience, other than that it's a freaking awesome game. Also ignore the people on one star reviews, they're probably the people who play nothing but COD all day
6793 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 BRINGS BACK MEMRORIES
8423 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1994, Donkey Kong Country had come out and revolutionized gaming on the Super Nintendo. It was a good game that ended up becoming one of the best on the Super Nintendo. Donkey Kong Country 2 came out a year later in 1995. It was a vast improvement over the first Donkey Kong Country. Not that the first Donkey Kong Country was bad. It was excellent, but the second game was one of the greatest sequels of the 16-bit era. The game held true to the roots of the original, while building on it.
6728 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a greater improvement compared to the previous title. Your characters move much quicker, your mutant powers are unlimited, the graphics are a little better, and the difficulty is fair with the gameplay. This game definitley stood the test of time and is also better than Mutant Apocalypse for Super NES. You go through several levels fighting your way through armed ninjas, Acolyte soldiers, pre-historic reptiles, savage land mutants, phalanx robots and clones and the difficulty rises as you move on, so if you made it that far, you've been dared to face pure torture so plan wisely. Whatever you do, do not use a 2 player co-op unless your partner is as skilled and as fast paced as you because not only the overall gameplay slows down, but getting ahead will be difficult if he/she sucks. Like the previous game, the many obsticles you must face is not designed for a two player co-op. This isn't Ninja Turtles or Contra, so you can't mess up if you dare to use the 2 player co-op.
the little engine that could but was crapped on by the fickle brainwashed asshat american consumer who was so in love with their sony playstation.
One thing you have to take into account is how changing the game is... in some part you can be lured to assume you'll wipe out your opponent in a couple of turns when you angrily realize he has taken control of 3 or 4 of your planets leaving you with most of your spaceyard or building facilities out!!!
Overall, there is a lot to do in terms of gameplay for Resident Evil 2 and it's one of the best video games ever made, hands down. If you've had the misfortune of never playing this game before, then don't waste any more time: play this, now! It's fun, it's scary and it's got great drama in its storyline.
9596 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The gameplay of this game is pretty good. Original, combining the commands and jobs and weapons of Final Fantasy with the turn-based grid-pattern gameplay of Dungeons and Dragons. It was way too slow, though, and in an age where a gamer will rap out half an hour of play and then save before heading to school/ college/job, hour-long tactical battles just suck. Especially when you lose most time and have to do them over and over again. But overall, it'd be a good game.
If you have a GameCube I would recommend you pre-order The upcoming title "The Wind Waker" and if you do this right now Nintendo is offering a special deal where you can get a special release of "Ocarina of Time" for Game Cube. Not just the good old "Ocarina of Time," made famous on N64, but also an enhanced version called "Master Quest." Make sure to put both into your shopping cart and enter the correct code while checking out to capitalize on this great value.
1. Minigames take up loads of space 2. Copying files to other VMUs without using the Dreamcast is slow 3. The standard color is dull.
4432 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Start and Select buttons got embedded into the controller, so I ended up taking it apart in order to get them out and alter the holes so that the buttons wouldn't get stuck. The wires were poorly soldered on, so they ended up coming off of the board almost instantly.

Play through five world's there are:
2219 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This red pak is intended for expending RAM space for N64 games, I strongly recommend it for a gamers' enjoyment.
I played this game with the lights off and I slept with the lights on. This game is about a normal man named Harry, who is looking for his missing daugther Cheryl in a town called Silent Hill I think that this game is not for the queasy at heart, this game contains scenes of violent images and has a lot of jumpy parts.
5885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All the final fantasys have a plot. This one is based all on love. You will meet a girl named riona i think because i named her Julia. You will go on some interesting adventures and kill all the evil that lurks around. Your goal in the game is to beat it of course, which is a real challange because its 4 discs long. There are also sevral FMVs or movie cinematics. They take up alot of the game. But the graphics are so incredibly good when you fight monsters. When you summon guardian forces the graphics on them look so incredibly good....
Its worth a play through and I'd recommend it. If you have a cartridge you should hold onto it because the chances of it being re-released for any consoles seem pretty low.
A must play for survival horror fans.
3693 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bottom line: Dreamcast has the goods, and it has it now. Numbers of polygons, vertex-lighted trianges, NURBS-aside... the system shells out some incredibly smooth and beautiful graphics, and nearly every game takes advantage of the system's power. Take some genre-busting games like Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure (perhaps, the most fastest rollercoaster-like 3D platformer in existence) and you have one heck of a system. The games often revolutionize the curve (like Jet Grind Radio).
8208 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a great fun game! buy it!
I actually bought black, blue, yellow and green from Amazon.
I believe FFVIII to be a true masterpiece, and I recommend it to all gamers, with the exception of bitter and closed-minded "old skool ff fans".
9606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fantastic to say the least. I would describe it as chess, but much, much better. Your "pieces" have many more moves and options, and the story runs deep with many interesting plot twists and turns, and a bittersweet ending.
3) it would have been nice to be able to do a custom edit to the controls, and be able to choose what button you want to do what with. Because of the 100's of other shoot' em up games; every time I went to shoot I was pressing the Z button by mistake. There's no programmed control setting to use the Z button to fire. Which makes no sense, because the Z button is known as the trigger button, but all it does in this game is either view, or run left, depending on what control setting you have set.
There are moments in this game that will stay with you forever. They are iconic. If you've played the game, you know what I mean. Seeing Sephiroth destroy Cloud's hometown comes to mind. He's standing in the fire unharmed and their eyes meet for a moment, then he turns and strides casually through the flames. And that spooky music is playing ("Those Chosen By The Planet") with its bells tolling.... Or when a main character dies (the moment that nearly made me--and a lot of other people--cry at a video game), then that music plays. On that note, the music in this game is pitch perfect. The tense, rocking music for the boss battles, the creepy alien music when the heroes encounter Jenova (or parts of her), the absolutely beautiful "Aeris' Theme." And the exultant, darkly emotional "One Winged Angel," which plays during the game's climax is awesome.
This game is everything a great game shoud be, and fans of classic games owe it to themselves to buy this one A.S.A.P., especially if they like space-combat games.
1194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game I played it and beat it in 1:00:00 hour I did not get any of the relics though I love playing as coco on a jet ski and running across the great wall of China I did each level and boss and I loved it I played it all the way through with no gems and relics. I give this a strong 5 stars out of 5.
But as you try to retrace your steps, you find the devestration has touched everybody and everything. All the "boring" scenes you walked through now lie in ruins and bloody corpses. Welcome to Black Mesa. Welcome to Half-Life.
5261 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Demolition Racer is quite similar to the Destruction Derby games previously released for the Playstation. Its different modes of play makes this game stand out from the previous DD games and gives Demolition Racer the ultimate replay value.
8236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is truly a great racing title for the Nintendo 64, I remember playing this as a rental from my local Albertsons store and loving it to tears. Crusin' World has over a dozen tracks to choose from and a decent amount of unlockable cars. It's worth buying.
CZ was released right at the tail-end of the Genesis' reign, but it has still become a classic since that time. Personally, I feel that one play-though is enough.
Story--9/10
2492 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 SSB is an original fighter that is always fun to play. It has four unlockable characters, one unlockable arena, and some other secerets. The only bad part is it is a little to easy(even on very hard). But this game is addicitive. Short Version: Graphics: 4.4 Sound: 4.2 Control: 4.3 Fun Factor: 4.7 Total: 4.4
6312 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great working console. I love using it to play my favorite old games. Glad I ordered one, nothing beats the good ol' N64.
Now although I do rate the game with 5 Stars, it does have it's annoyances. For one, the game is quite short. If you have a whole day to yourself you can blow through the game within a good 10 hours. Another annoying thing is the AI reflexes. It's almost impossible to sneak up on these thugs! The second you enter the room they are all aware of your presence, sometimes even before you enter. It's frustrating because these are supposed to be low-level hoodlums and yet they have the reflexes of a Navy SEAL. Another thing that will annoy the hell out of you is how long it can take to kill the people sometimes. You'd think a point-blank blast to the stomach from a Pump-Action Shotgun would be enough to finish off ANY human being... but be prepared to fire again. It'll also annoy you when you put 10 rounds from your Beretta into a gangsters chest to have him keep charging at you as if unaffected. Basically the bad-guys show no sign of pain or injury other than death. You can shoot him in the legs all you like, it won't do much other than kill him... eventually. But even with these problems I still rate the game a five because once you're playing, you won't even be thinking about these things. The game is short, but so much fun!
8357 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In a world where there were CDs, companies like Sega and 3DO had tried to capitalize on the concept of playing video games on a CD, giving the games enhanced graphics and sound. There is one company, however, named Nintendo, and it created Donkey Kong Country. Donkey Kong Country was a game that proved that you don't need CD-based technology to make games with flashy graphics. You just need to put in effort to fit it to your console. How will that work on 8-Bit systems, though?
This game is even lucky I can give it the rating I did. It's especially lucky that Amazon.com's ability to rate its products only comes in five stars. If it was a standard 1-10 rating, I'd hack my computer to give it less than .5/10, seeing as I can't stand this absolute travesty of a video game. It's a downright abomination to the world, and a big slap to the face of anybody who was seriously into Final Fantasy, like myself. I'm glad I didn't play this game until years after it came out. If I had played it back then, I probably would have been just like all of the other sniveling fanboys and girls and considered it the greatest game of all time. You can't rate a game based on how well it sold, and you can't rate a game depending on the graphics. Why? Because both of those factors are meaningless when it comes to a true review. I strongly recommend that anybody who is interested in buying this game should steer WAY clear of it; it is not worth even the effort to post a picture of it here on Amazon. It's not worth a penny out of your pocket.
9961 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like I said, I know what everyone is thinking about by playing a Michael Jackson game rescuing little kids, but, step around that for just 45 minutes while you play it and just accept the fact this this is a great game!
But, if you enjoy top-notch action games that are not short on plot and violence, this game is for you. You get to be a theoretical physicist who is every Green Beret's worst nightmare. Richard P. Feynman would have loved this game!!!
4688 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well...I must say that this game is just that: it's not the best game ever, but it is really fun and you'll play it a lot supposing you like D&D/AD&D or RPG's. That being said, allow me to get to the nitpicky stuff.
Released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64, Rare's Blast Corps is a blast (gasp) to play.
5158 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm writing this review from the future.
4789 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zork Grand Inquisitor is without a doubt the best adventure game ever. If you played the old text versions of Zork, then you will want this game. If you haven't, there is still a lot here to enjoy. The story picks up sometime after magic was banned by the Grand Inquisitor (who insanely says "I am the Boss of YOU.") You eventually meet up with a magician who has been placed into a lantern and off you go to the Great Underground Empire. The game itself is full of wonder, humor and clever puzzles. The music adds a lot to the locations and brings a sense of wonder to them. The humor is outstanding. There are several pop culture references that you will catch and there are some slapstick jokes. The humor can be best described as a Monty Python/ Saturday Night Live / Mystery Science Theater 3000 type of humor. The puzzles, at times obscure, are always rewarding when you complete them. Without giving too much away, you will find many moments of awe (humor wise.) This is one game everyone should own.
Concept 6/10:
--------------------------------------------
You play Alucard, a half vampire half human. Alucard was last seen fighing alongside Trevor Belmont, Grant DyNasty, and Sypha Belanade in Castlevania 3 the prequal to the first game (but not the earliest Belmont). These three are somewhat resurected for a bossfight. Alucard has reawaken to fight his father and put his cursed bloodline to rest. after being stripped of his items early on you must explore Castle Dracula for clues as to what happened to Richter and put an end to Dracula.
2. Tomb Raider 4: Last Revelations
CONS:
Ocarina of Time stimulated my imagination at a young age more than just about anything I know of. There are a few films and books that would come close, but I can't think of anything that could quite surpass it. Ocarina of Time is an involving, authentic, scary, and epic adventure. Playing it for the first time makes for an unparalleled experience.
What's also very nice is the ability to set up your own favorite kind of practice session, with bots of your choosing, on whatever map you want. So, for example, you can play capture the flag, you alone against a large army of stupid bots, or a single insanely good bot. Or you can have a bot team, and give them commands. Or you can just set up a bots-only competition, and just watch them go at it.
When you are playing, you can try to play it to make yourself rich, or you can just try to have the most fun possible, or both. I have played a number of games. I literally played my N64 until the thing finally wore out. After it did, I was pretty sad. I wasn't so upset about being unable to play my other games. It was this game that took up probably 95% of all my time with the N64. However, I still play this game to this very day on an emulator. I STILL cannot get enough of it. It is by far the best game I have EVER owned. If someone were to clone this game with a possible update to the graphics(though they should leave the option to play with the old style graphics, too!) and release it for the current generation of consoles, they wouldn't be able to take the money out of my hand fast enough when it comes to this game. I would still gladly pay $60 for a new copy of it.
THE BAD
7721 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works great!
2746 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I recieved this game for one of my birthday's many years ago. At first I was excited...but when I played it...oh boy. The Graphics were horrible, too rough and generic. To make matters worse, they looked like cheap cartoon drawings.
Bonus Level In London: All Hallows
Another thing that is cool about this game is the zombies and their... "creative" death sequences (okay, so maybe they die a second time, but this time for good). Naturally, you can blow their heads off, but even more possibilities await your execution. Sometimes, you can fire at them and their arm will be severed by your bullets, or with a shotgun you can shoot them at the base of their spine and they will be blasted in half, the upper section of their body crawling on the ground with its arms alone to try and bite you. When you upgrade your shotgun later on, you can actually blow their chest in half! And, with a rocket launcher, if you fire at them square in their torso, their arms, head, and a good portion of their upper body will be gone. If you hit them to the right side, most of said side will be gone, as will their head and respective arm, yet their left arm will still be attached. Pretty cool, huh? Code: Veronica X didn't have anything like that, which is rather too bad.
- Guitar Hero games. (works fine with Rock Band tho)
The Map is used in this one as well. Except you can't go and challenge old bosses which kind of stinks.
Even through all of this, I thought it was a very fun, addictive, game, but when I started playing multiplayer it dawned on me where this game really lacks -- there's not enough variety. The ships aren't varied enough, and even though it's 3D, there's only one terrain type -- space. There's just not enough variety for it not to get boring after too long.
736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was perfect. Game was in great condition, sticker on it was great. Thanks for being honest. Everything was as describe. Thanks again!
There's also a training mode where you must accomplish tasks like blowing zombies off a moving car. It's nowhere near as fun as the main game because there's really no margin for error, but it's a nice touch nonetheless.
The lens can be cleaned with eyeglass cleaner and a soft cloth, preferably the kind you get with your glasses at the eye doctor's office.
The point of the game is simple: win the race by any means.
BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST JOY. THE FIRST TIME THAT AERIS DIED I I WAS SO STUNNED THAT I HAD A STROKE AND A HEART ATTACK SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE VOMITING AND POOPING MYSELF, AS THE TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE. IT WAS SO INTENSE THAT I PASSED OUT, AND SLIPPED INTO A COMA. FORTUNATELY, MY DEAR FRIENDS SET UP A PLAYSTATION IN MY ROOM AND PLACED THE CONTROLLER IN MY FLACID, COMATOSE HANDS ALLOWING ME TO CONTINUE THE GODLY ADVENTURE. THE SERENE YET POWERFUL, BEAUTIFUL YET FRIGHTENING MUSIC TURNED MY COMA DREAMS INTO JOYOUS VISIONS OF WONDER, WHICH MADE ME WISH NEVER TO AWAKE, WERE IT NOT FOR MY URGENT NEED TO COMPLETE THE MYSTIC QUEST.
3500 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For anyone who has not played this stellar game series, this is what you call a "survival horror" game, which means you have a gun, you are alone and you have 1000s of zombies, dogs, ravens, monsters and mutants after you. The third installment of the Resident Evil game series actually takes place before the second game, so you are writing the future, playing as the lead heroine Jill (who survived the first game). You start out on the streets of Raccoon City, which has been ravaged by zombies, and you work your way to the Police Station and back into the city streets, trying to escape the town, all the while being stalked by a huge ugly killer which appears every once in a while to give the player a scare. Unlike the other two games, Jill is armed to the teeth right when you begin the game. She has a handgun, shotgun, magnum and an assault rifle, however unlike the original two games there are not waves of zombies to go through, instead there are only a few zombies, but the city streets are like a maze, so there is lots of ground to cover. There are only a few improvements made from the first two games. In Resident Evil 2, there were only 4 types of zombies, with this game there are dozens of zombies, such as fat zombies, beautiful zombies and so on. There is also a new system where you can make bullets for certain guns, but there is no chance you will ever run out of ammo. Another nice addition is that the player can dodge attacks without the player's help. The graphics and sound are still excellent, but several graphics were taken straight from Resident Evil 2.
2) The missions were limited in terms of scope. The game itself was so immaginative and impressive that I think some attention was lacking in designing the missions. They're impressive, but could've been so much more.
3903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In "Mysteries of the Syth", you meet a new character named Mara Jade, Kyle Katarns Apprentice in training. What seperates this game from the others, in skill, is the awesome long-distance sniper scope attatched to your quick fire storm pistol. This game is bundled with the well-worth-it game Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. With both of these games, your mind will be buzzing for a while. To give an example: One night I played one level until I fell asleap. I just couldn't figure one part out...I fell asleap and dreamed how to beat it. I woke up, and promptly conquered the level. That says two things. Its addictive. And it keeps you awake at night, depending on if you like leaving games in mid-level. Just funning, come on yall. Get it, thats all I'm saying.

It's not a very long game but who cares.
The story max payne is that.....
9979 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is fun, but I forgot how FREAKING hard this game was. It brings me back to renting this from the video store and punching myself in the leg because Bison was ruining my life. Seriously though, don't mess with that guy, he will give you nightmares.
You don't have three hands(Joking of course),
7308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just wanted to give the game the score it deserve. Clearly one of capcoms best and most remembered mega man 8 to me at least. The new mega mans are just lazy cut n paste of old 8 bit graphics. This game is the only game that revamped the true mega man in amazing,new to 2d sprites with animations to make any fan 2d games proud. A great game to have in your collection for vet collectors.
6848 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first got my 64, I decided to buy this game since it was fairly cheap. I wasn't a big fan of Tetris but, My brother is so I bought it for him. Instead I ended up playing it. This time you blow up blocks in a sphere that corresponds to the same shape of the block. This is like 50% different comparing to the original tetris. This game is very fun but it gets boring after like a month or if you get a another game but still this game is recommended.
6993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My whole family loves this game. It is a one player game but has multi-player battle option available too. One of my all time favorite games! In fact my Families all time favorite N64 game.
The levels are just so memorable. Mario controls the water levels present in "Wet Dry World". "Dire Dire Docks" has an enormous sub and a cool stingray. "Tall, Tall Mountain" pits you against a theiving monkey. "Shifting Sand Land" features a great battle against a pair of hands called Eye Rok, a cranky vulture who will steal your cap, and a great pyramid. "Letha Lava Land", a level literally likened to hell, has a volcano and a sea of lava that Mario must contend with. The last two levels are particularly fiendish: "Tick Tock Clock" is an enormous clock level that speeds up or slows down depending on what time the clock reads when you enter the level, and "Rainbow Ride" (always my personal favorite) is probably the most difficult, with an expansive sky level where Mario gets to ride magic carps riding on enormous rainbows.
4996 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome, Scary, Nitty Gritty, Isolation, Desperation, Some Music's very beautiful, Some's very ugly(in a good way) uhh Scary, Fun! Play in a dark room at night, alone or with your pet!
1900 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Do not be fooled by the fact that dragons are more suited to little kids and that the game appears like a cartoon. This is a very fun game in which an evil creature called Gnasty Gnorc scatters gems all over the dragon world, turns some into his minions, lets blue thieves into the dragon world to steal their precious dragon eggs, and encases all the dragons in crystal. He missed Spyro, so it's his job to turn the dragon world the way it was. The graphics are colorful and the sound and music are also nice, and as for replay value, it has a fairly good amount. If there is one thing to complain about, it is the difficulty level. The enemies don't put up too much of a threat, and finding gems and dragons is usually fairly easy, and even the bosses are pretty easy to toast. But it can prove quite a challenge to some people, and may include some testing with some things. But besides these two facts, Spyro the Dragon is a nice, colorful game that is well worth the money.
4650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome. I used to have it as a kid and getting it again takes me back to the good old days. Best disney game ever made alongside Hercules. Love this and totally recommend it to anyone. It's for all ages!
6368 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wing Commander: Prophecy is without a doubt one of my all-time personal favorite games for the PC. Aside from the fact that it gracefully and heroically retires Christopher Blair (Mark Hammil) from the series, the game is an expertly crafted piece of entertaining with only a few (stylistic) flaws. It also improves greatly over Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom by making combat missions longer than the video cut scenes, something that dogged its predecessor greatly. Prophecy has such eerie underpinnings that work together with the game and live action cinematics to make for an awesome story. It is also the start of a new generation.
3) The Psycho Mantis battle is AWFUL, but only if you got this game off PSN on the PS3. The controller port switching doesn't work at all, and it takes a good half hour or so to kill him. You'll find the battle to be very frustrating because of this. I don't understand why this happens, but after performing a search for the issue online, it's clearly well documented. I don't know why they haven't fixed it.
Great for the whole family
9637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product, 10/10
8569 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product! Brings back great memories.
9607 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If Battles are what you want then you'll be very well pleased. Final Fantasy Tactics gives you the opportunity to use the job system like in Final Fantasy V, allowing you to create customized character that can use magic, and summon creatures, etc. All of the classic job classes are present in the game, along with a few others that only certain characters can posses. The classics like black mage, white mage, summoner, knight, monk, etc. are very common, but there are a few other classes such as engineer, holy knight, dark knight, princess, that are classes that only specific characters can possess. You can also have monsters on your side as well as chocobos. A portion of the story is told after every new battle you encounter. The story is there, and it is pretty thin, but it still has the basics of a Final Fantasy Plot. The music is wonderful (just like the rest of the series), and the main characters have their own unique personality that makes the game memorable. If you are looking for a role playing game that is only battle after battle after battle then you won't be dissapointed, but if you are looking for a traditional Final Fantasy game, I'd rent it before I'd buy it.
But Liquid is not alone. Psycho Mantis is one of the game's most intriguing bosses. He is a telekenetic with a love for throwing furniture with his mind. The battle with him actually requires you to change your controller to another port so he can't dodge your bullets. Sniper Wolf is a beautiful but deadly assassin who's target becomes her obsession once she marks it. Vulcan Raven is a giant Shaman who loves heavy weaponry and can survive freezing temperatures with no problem. And then, there is Revolver. Good old Ocelot makes sure to cause you all kinds of trouble throughout the course of the game, including torturing you with electro-shock! And how could I forget Ninja? Although this mysterious villain is not with Liquid, he seems determined to slice and dice you! Oh yeah, and Decoy Octopus. But you won't know much about him until it's too late.
2951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ......that hasn't already been said a million times by a million people. The game is that good , it has without question earned it's place among the top 2 or 3 all time RPG's to date. I played many before and hundreds since and this is the only game that had me invested enough in a character and a story line that when that character died I dropped my controller in shock and a small tear may have found it's way down my cheek. It's a game that , especially at the time of it's release was just that good. If you have had enough interest you found yourself already at this page and remarkably reading my humble review than all I can tell you is....STOP READING NOW AND GO BUY IT.......it is just that damn good. Beware on price though. An original black label version can top $100 in auctions if collecting is your thing , avoid the scammer's asking hundred's. Depending on current market $85 to $125 are about right for the black label one's. If you just want to play it and collecting isn't for you the greatest hits version is more reasonable at $25 to $40 , it's the same game either way and the greatest hits one is a steal in terms of entertainment value.
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
Statistical accuracy is preety much given two ratings which are (....bad) and awesome so stat accuracy isn't that accurate. Each team only has their 10 best players on each team and for the rest of the positions are guards and things which play all the same. So there are only really the main players on the team.

1875 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for the PlayStation should be a very fun game but some key things make it anything but.
There are not too many things that really scare me when it comes to video games, but this is a exception. The Resident Evil series scared me at many points, but Silent Hill just ooozes creepiness! This game disturbed me enough that I avoided playing it till I felt more comfortable. I personally think it is that scary!
3099 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although the graphics aren't as good as one would expect, the characters are very well done. Espeically Sephiroth, he seems to be the very essence of evil with the tricks he pulls of in the game. Many of the mini games are great my only beef with the mini games is that they should of amde the mini-battle game available in the Golden Saucer, also why didn't they put in real voices in the end instead of a postscript? This was probably to save money so Square wouldnt have to hire voice actors. Although the plot veers off track at times and a few of the program quirks are noticable this games still enjoyable and has a well written story.
2884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic!
8396 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The interface takes some getting used to, but once you get the camera controls down (and really it's no different than learning what all the buttons do on an FPS game), it really is quite enjoyable. It makes you think tactically and strategically, which I like. There's no rushing for the end to gain a quick victory, you have to plan your way and learn to use your units' strengths.
Replayability: Very high. It's Doom. That's all that needs to be said.
Replay Factor: 10/10
5396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a really fun game that I used to play when it first came out. I lost the copy that I had years ago so I bought it again to replay with friends.
2415 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the best game on the n64. great multiplayer,characters and in amazing condition.
3863 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got great customer service with these guys! Anyone who does their research on this product knows they were very prone to fail and the confidence these guys have to stand by their product makes them the only choice for who one should purchase from. If there is an issue just drop these guys and line and feel confident they will fix the problem!
7430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing game
Cold Shadow....
In conclusion, this is a wonderful game to have in your video game collection (as well as the first one) and trust me, this game will be very difficult to put the controller down. It is for everyone to enjoy and a great alternative to the repetitive Madden series, which EA Sports decides to keep the same gameplay and alter a graphics a little bit, every year. This may be the year 2010 and I may have been born the same year the Original NES Tecmo Bowl came out, but this and NFL 2K5 are my favorite football games in the market.
But mostly, Civ 1 & 2, for all their addictiveness, eventually wore out their welcome with a series of annoyances, many of which have been resolved, or at least ameliorated, in Civ 3. It's hard to go back. Civ 2 actually feels sort of shallow, easier to manipulate, almost dinky, in retrospect.
The graphics of the Nintendo 64 system are quite good. Nothing compared to nowadays standards of what good graphics are but I think the quality of the games is what matters most in a console. And this console lives up to those standards.
2903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for my husband and he LOVES it ! Came in a timely manner too ! Thanks !
5053 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Unfortunately, the single-player is incredibly boring...just bots and skirmishes. If there was a campaign, this game is flawless.
The multiplayer mode is where this title picks up most of its value points. Sure, a few of the multiplayer levels are a little on the weak side, but there are enough good ones that it doesn't really matter. The three modes in the game are standard deathmatch, team deathmatch, and versus. Versus mode is a last-man-standing affair, where you and up to three friends duke it out until only one of you remains. The coolest multiplayer option is the gravity slider, which lets you turn gravity way down for some really high-flying action, or turn it way up to keep people from hopping around like lunatics. Sure, it's not as versatile as being able to program your own modifications to the game, but it's a nice touch, and it manages to breathe a bit of life into the game. In the end, the PlayStation version of Quake II falls under the same disclaimers as most other PC-to-console first-person shooters - if you own the PC version, don't waste your time. But if you're looking for some good split-screen shooting action with a decent single-player mode to back it up, this version will make your day.
3900 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This controller has to be one of the worst out on the market. It has a horrible design, is made of cheap plastic, and to make matters worse, it's also highly priced. Don't even think about using it for games like Marvel Vs. Capcom, because even casual play will break this controller. If you're serious about games, find an import controller made by another company. Don't even bother with the other Dreamcast controllers out in America, they are all just as bad, if not worse.
473 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks
The music was amazing. The music from many battles, where Cloud, the main character, faces enemies that are "in his way", let's put it, is very powerful and makes your heart race. Orchestrated, how would you say, music composed from a symphonic orchestra, just pure classical music--THROUGHOUT the entire game! It's great! One of the many strong points in this game.
3274 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has a great story line which has good graphics and sound effects. The voice acting and game play are great. The game will last you 70 to 80 hours of game play. It is a very fun game to play and for the price you pay for this game is worth buying and is one of the scariest game you will ever play.
keycode. Insert your game into the shark and place it into your N64. The Shark should count down frrom 5 to 1.
-Probably the most realistic depiction of drifting/powersliding to appear in a video game (it's frightening, nauseating, and usually a bad idea)
And once you finish it, you can play it again! This game has the most replay value of any RPG ever. First, it is actually fun to play over and over. Secondly, Diablo 2 has five highly unique character classes which all play differently, and within each class are 30 skills which would take you 300 levels to explore! You'll want to finish the game 2-3 times with each character.
3: Actual recon and patrol. If you know how to use your stealth units right, you can actually set up patrols and recon pickets that can sneak behind enemy lines. The difference between this and the Starcraft Ghosts is that in Starcraft, you can just walk up to anything and almost not be spotted... that's no fun. In TA you actually have to plot routes and what not to sneak behind enemy lines and gather terrain intel. Hell, I have U2 and SR71 spyplanes do aerial recon from high altitudes.
A solid title for its era, and good if you enjoy retro gaming. Otherwise this probably won't hold your interest as much.
5771 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is pretty good. But in my opinion, it is not as good as Final Fantasy VII. FFVII's storyline and endurance were much better for me! I'll just say, this is not the kind of game that you would want to play for like more than two times. But I'll have to admit, the graphics and movies in FFVIII is a lot better than that of FFVII. (The characters are much better looking.) Overall, this is a pretty good RPG game. But if you're planning to buy this game and you have already played FFVII, you might be disappointed. But if you don't own FFVII already, BUY THEM BOTH!!! (I suggest you play VIII first though, save the best for the end) These are great for the collection of great RPG kicks!!!
-The game is just plain fun, the moves, the platforming, collecting, ect
6474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Medal of Honor is an absolutely outstanding game. True, it has alot in common with Wolfenstein 3D(which is also an excellent game)with the germans and it being a first-person shooter. But, this game is reality-based with real wartime objectives and that is what sets it apart from Wolfenstein 3D. To be honest, when I first played it, I wasn't expecting much. Boy, was I surprised afterwards. I mean, this game totally engulfs you and makes you feel as though you're actually there.
6855 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first Sonic game blew me away when I was a little kid and when Sonic 2 came out I was first in line to get my hands on the new copy.
5182 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I rue the day this title came out for Playstation. It was considered so original, it influenced many, many stealth-type games that followed it. Too many.
8463 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still have my old Gameboy, surprisingly. However, over the years, I have lost some games for it. I told my husband about this game and how much I used to love it as a kid. So, he got on here, ordered it and surprised me with it. This game will never get old to me.
Gunstar Heroes is a treat. If you don't have Gunstar Heroes and you have a Genesis (or Wii) then you owe it to yourself to get this game. You'll have a lot of fun with it, and it has excellent replay value.
its about some guy named Smithy. he takes over bowsers keep so bowser teams with mario and the princess to get it back. there is also some others characters. mallow, and this other magickoopa guy. its pretty long, fun, and challenging at parts. I never new Mario and bowser would team.
The level design, aside from the visuals and awesome swordplay, is probably the best thing about this game. It's hard to say, as so much of this game comes off as pure 16-bit gold. The levels here never overstay their welcome, and the game moves at a brisk pace. Generally, levels can take 3-5 minutes to complete if you're rushing through them, but thankfully, you'll have so much fun exploring these levels, looking for that last 1-up or partial health refill, that you can extend this time. Despite doing this, the game never, once feels as though it's dragging on. The pace feels impressively natural to the gameplay, and the levels, and visuals that accompany them, enforce this sentiment. You'll be running around the streets of Agrabah, traversing the desert, exploring dark, dank dungeons, escaping a lava avalanche (lava-lanche?) just to name a few, and these all feel appropriate from a game design perspective. Traversing the dungeon feels more like a maze level, with its branching paths and freedom of player-choice, and the escape from the lava-lanche (see? It works) is exhilirating. It's a sweaty hand, controller squeezing, heart racing experience, and it's easily the most exciting level in the game. The scrolling here is so fast, the lava looks as though you can see the heat coming right off of it, and all-in-all, every level may not be as impressive as this one, but they're certainly close. I can't stress enough how amazing these stages are.
Overall, I rate this game a solid 4.5 out of 5 because it is fun and exciting, and in my opinion, better than Mario Kart 64.
The story starts off in the town of Burg where the hero, Alex, dreams of becoming like his hero, Dragonmaster Dyne, who died under mysterious circumstances. Then the hero searches for the White Dragon to become like his hero and from there, he ends up in a battle for the entire land of Lunar. It seems like a straightforward story with plot twists you'll probably see a mile away but the way that it's executed is so masterful.
It's the best looking game in the series at the time with it's highly advanced graphics and sounds as it was an evolutionary stepforward to the saga. While not offering many new elements as the previous game, this one does offer a feather that can make Mario a caped superhero where he can fly like his Raccoon counterpart in part 3 to performing a bellydive and spin around, he can ride his allies known as Yoshi where it can devour enemies and this is the first game where Mario uses his spin jump. Like SMB 3, this one brings back the map system and Mario could backtrack and re-enter levels. The game has brilliant 2D colorful visuals that still holds up as it has a work of charm to it including amazing special effects that impressed the hell out of gamers including myself when i got this game with the system for christmas back in 91 when i was 10. It was nothing like gamers here in the US has ever seen before from rotating boss battles to all the way to the climax of the Banzai that Bowser rode.
All of a sudden we see so many games with voice acting spawning out everywhere. I won't mention many, but some of the few are Tomba 2, Alundra2, and Syphon Filter 2. It look as if this phase is being recognized by developers and is now being used in other games as well. FE sports some top-notch voice acting, there isn't a slight show of breakup and the voices manage to keep up and they don't stray, so late timing is not an issue. Sound effect that come from, say the gunshots are quite good, you can hear everything from the gunshot to the wasted bullet falling to the ground. The sounds of the environments are great too, looks like Kronos put some time into the sound effects as well.
What else you ask, makes this game THE RE? Well, the story is superbly done and Alexia is the most...AWESOME bad guy(errr...Girl) that has ever graced the screen. And all your old favorites are back too so expect to see some old friends and new enemies as you crawl and run around.
4761 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game, without a doubt, is by far the best game in the Castlevania series. Even if you previously haven't played any of the other games it's still worth it. There's not much else to say besides it's a classic 2d game and perfectly dark. Alucard is a great main character....but that's not just the reason it's so good. Everything about it is great...from the 2d landscapes and backrounds...to the vast selection of weaponry and armor...and relics...all the way to the voiceovers. There are also tons of secret corridors that will take an eternity to find. Whether you like classic games or not you will probably like this...Forget those lamo N64 Castlevanias...this is where it's at...
4042 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is definelty the best game in the FPS genre. It has brought so much to the table. The mindless blastfests ala quake and doom were fun, but this...wow! There was shooting and an actually story!
- the story don't reliance on the other characters aside the main heroes
I'm not going to go into complaints now as the game is rather old.
Cons:
651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This RPG is a blast to play! The graphics and battle system will blow you away when you first play it! There's even a tutorial, so you can get in the game quicker! As for the storyline, excellent! The storyline goes all over the place, but that's what fun about it! The game itself is also long and entertaining. It took me 73 hours to finish, side-quests and all. You even get an amusement park filled with games and wonderful items to help you on your quest. Get this game!!! It will get you hoooked on hours to come!!!
5270 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Despite a somewhat disappointing ending this game is without a doubt one of the most indepth FPS available. The stealth that must be used to accomplish missions will forever change what is considered when levels are built for FPSs.
The speed type characters SUCK! :)
But in the end, Carnivores is a suprisingly good budget game that I don't hesitate to recommend. If you find it for under ten dollars, I'd get it. Its a great bargin.

6367 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a lot of fun and the graphics ar top notch to me. True, they are not "Freespace 2" level quality (I don't know of any other game that is) but they work just fine. The ability to choose different story paths adds greatly to the games replay value. Campbell's wisecracks are great.
8952 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of those rare examples of a game that has nothing wrong with it. I will list off the three key points, and how this game not only nails them, but beats them into the ground with an industrial strength jackhammer
Why is it then that this game is addictive?
Storywise, Star Ocean 2 suffers another, slightly smaller blow. While the story is generally good, it seems to drag on until you reach the second disc, where you do more exploring and fighting and the story begins to unfold more. Characters aren't as developed as well in Star Ocean compared to other RPG's such as Final Fantasy or Wild Arms, though the game tries to make a very obvious effort to do this though the use of the private actions system (where you enter a location and your characters split up and you can talk to them on a one-on-one basis to discover more about them - this affects the outcome of the game in various ways). I will give the developers credit for trying though.
5632 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So happy to find this brand new for a really good price, having to fight sibling to be able to play, one step closer to collecting all Final Fantasy games!
OVERALL
876 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, it seems that those idiots who gave TS a low rating was because they thought TS reused Red Alerts units. That is completely wrong . TS is set in a futuristic world with advanced units. Red Alert was a PREQUEL to the original C&C and was set throughout the Cold War. TS does not use standard tanks and the new units were made as it would have been seen in the year TS took place which was 2030. This is especially true with GDI and there titans, disruptors, firestrom defense, rpg towers, MMK II and a whole lot more. Nod has has the cyborgs, underground units, and and the banshee aircraft etc. Now, are these the same units from RA, i don't think so. Westwood retained a couple of units from the original C&C such as the devil's tougue and light tank but they upgraded the functions of these units to please gamers. Nothing from this game was copied from RA- trust me. As for Starcraft some say its better than TS and some say it isnt. I personally hate that game. Its way more complex to understand than TS simple interface, no deformidable terrain, you have to RIGHT CLICK to deselect units (very awkward), structures take extremely long to build - as well as units, those same structures look like they have legs(terran barracks and engineering bay). I also have no idea what the storyline is about (no real actors - jus bad FMVs).I could name a whole lot more but it would take up too much space in this review. The only single thing i like is the marine responses which give u a good laugh now and then but it still gets repetitive after a while which is common in almost all RTS games. Sure, Starcraft is an original game with new features that pleases people just like the old C&C. some people ask for too much in a sequel and when they find what they haven't been looking for, they disgrace the game. We'll see what sequel is in store for Starcraft but for now, if you're a serious fan of C&C's then pick up a copy of TS- you'll find an intersting game with a whole bunch of new features including some old time favs that would have remembered.
The best thing is that the game is pretty cheap,and you can go and play with your friends online as much as you want. That's right, no monthly fees... just all you can eat.
4642 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Toy Story 2 is one of the finest if not the finest animated movie ever to come out of Hollywood. So inevidably, there will be a movie tie in game. After the amazingly bad A Bugs life, Disney interactive has spent a lot of time fine tunning this and making up for past mistakes. Which is a good thing, because Toy Story 2 is a fantastic Game. Toy Story 2 for the playstation is a great first action adventure title for newbie commers to the playstatin world. The graphics are excellent, wih lots of color and clarity (They are somewhat choppy but it dosent matter). The levels are really big and interesting to go through, with lots of objects, fellow toys and things to interact with. The challenge level seems just right, with puzzles that range from easy (Mixing paint, wheee!) to the challenging (figuring out how to arrange lights so a helecopter can land). The music is also excelent, with western, sci fi themes and much more. The controls are fairly easy to learn and master and the two camera modes do a good job. On each level, your goal is to find 5 pizza planet tokens. To do so, you must collect 50 coins, compleate a time race, find the hidden token, find 5 things and fight the boss. Although it sounds like it can get repitetous real fast, for some reason it never does. Unfortunitly the game does have its share of problems. For starters the charachters in the game look incrdiably goofy. Some of the evil toys you must fight can get really annoying (Such as the evil mexican dude in the western levels). Also the overall chalange of the game isint very hard. On my first time through I died only once! That seems a bit unchallenging. The much anticipated Zurg elevator battle is dissapointing, with Zurg being easy to defeat. My biggest gripe is that most of the areas that were seen in the movie are much different in the game. For instance, the inside of the elevator shaft is only 5 stories tall and has 2 elevators, and Al's house looks nothing like it did in the movie. Overall, this is a fun game that nobody should miss.
9858 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This by itself is a great game. Play as either Sonic or Knuckles and blast through stages. The graphics and levels are great and its simply the best in the series at least the Genesis era series. When you put Sonic 3 onto this game you get a true masterpiece on your hands especially if you play as Knuckles. I say get this game you won't regret it.
6114 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I got this, there was only two flaws, two flaws which im kinda upset over, but no biggie I guess, when I bought this, it stated it was in "very Good" condition, but it came with horrific markings on it, I wouldnt consider this in "Very Good" condition, other then the permanent marker markings and writing on the back with permanent marker, the game seems in "Very Good" condition.
2968 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is arguably the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time. Some of the best heroes, villans, story line, and character dynamic in video game history.
9424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the top side-scrolling classics, I love it more than SUPER MARIO WORLD 1. Thankfully, it's coming to GBA soon! Buy it! Play it!
3946 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I Bought this controller/gamepad from a software store near where I lived because I needed a good controller/gamepad that was usb. I bought this one about 3-4 years ago and it is still working great to this day. I own a gravis game pad the non usb one. Got to love gravis for making such a sturdy and long lasting gamepad.
A must play.
6898 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I heard this game is crap. I have it for NES and its cool. But this is weird. Why would they make a stupid 'easy' game for GBA? Why won't they let you play as the cool people like Baraka? You stubborn retards can make a better choice of system and game then this!!!!!!!
9221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing game, really. I'll tell you the full story and options you have in this game.
2196 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 THERE ARE SIX LONG TRACKS TO RACE ON. I'VE ONLY SEEN FOUR.. COVENTRY COVE, MOUNT MAYHEM, INFERNO ISLE & SUNSET SANDS. THE TRACKS I HAVE YET TO PLAY ARE.. METRO MADNESS & WICKED WOODS. MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE THIS RACING GAME. IT IS WELL MADE, NICE LOOKING & EASY TO CONTROL. YOU MUST BEAT THE INDIVIDUAL TRACKS ON CHAMPIONSHIP MODE FOR THEM TO APPEAR ON SINGLE RACE & TWO PLAYER MODES. I LOVE THE BOOST BOXES, THE SHORT CUTS, THE CAMERA OPTIONS & BEETLE BATTLE MODE. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A QUAILITY RACING GAME AT A NOW AFFORDABLE PRICE.. "BEETLE ADVENTURE RACING" FOR YOUR N64 IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE.
3291 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome and is one of the best horror games ever made .It takes a while to get in to,but once you do,you will love playing this game. It is a really long game 70 to 80 hours with very complex levels and has a great mature story line. The voice acting and story is one of the best i seen in a video game. The graphics are really good and is the one of the best looking version out of the PS1,DC,PC version. The music and sound effects are really good and will scare the hell out of you. It is one of the most mature game you will ever play and no one under 17 should play this game.
As a kid, I played the s*** out of this game. It was only recently I managed to beat it 100% because it is both challenging and fun, but its easier than the first game so if you were expecting a greater challenge, you will be disappointed, but the controls, smoother gameplay and the fact you can save anytime you want as long as you are in the Warp Room makes this game a far superior game than the first one.
Fourth, the new spellcasting system just doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. A Barbarian at a given level will have just as many magical abilities, AND be just as good at casting them, as a Sorceress on the same level! And how are these magical abilities acquired? Does your character learn spells by reading spellbooks, like in Diablo 1? No, they learn spells by killing things. Yup, you just go out and kill monsters, and you suddenly know how to cast fireballs. WHAT THE HECK KIND OF SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?!?
3781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been a Sonic fan since the beginning. I had played every single Sonic game for the Genesis. I had watched Sonic cartoon episodes and the Sonic movie countless times. I had read as many Sonic comics as I could handle. I crammed my head with as much stuff about Sonic as I could. I even created my own Sonic website. But, after a while the same old levels on the original Sonic games got old. I needed something new. I needed something fresh. Then, I heard about Sonic Adventure. Just because of me being a Sonic fanatic, Sonic Adventure and the Dreamcast were at the top of my Christmas list. Finally, I received it along with a Dreamcast and popped it in. As soon as the opening sequence began, I was stunned. I was amazed at the great graphics and use of real music with vocals and all. Plus, Sonic looked cooler than ever. Then, the game got even better because of the ability to be 6 different classic Sonic characters and some new ones. The game is perfect because each character has a different story line that blends in with another character's story. Plus, the classic Sonic and Tails brothership and Sonic and Knuckles competivness still remain. If you are a true Sonic fan like me, though, you might be a little disappointed. The game missed many classic Sonic elements and Sonic's orgin is totally changed. The Freedom Fighters are gone, Sonic lives on Earth instead of Mobius, and Tails' age has gone up by 6 years while Sonic's only has risen by 1. Plus, Sonic Adventure is more childish than previous Sonic games because of the Chao pets. The game should be more focused one defeating Robotnik instead of raising a little pet. Still, the game has the classic Sonic feel to it because the chaos emeralds are still intact, and when you collect them you can become an even better Super Sonic than the one in the previous years. Other great additions include mini-games and 3-D cinema scenes. One of the best parts of the game is the re-make of the original Ice Cap stage from Sonic 3 and the ability to ride a snowboard that you can actually control, unlike in the original. If you are a Sonic fan, this is a must-have.
871 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was the first C&C game I ever purchased. I got this game when I wasn't playing much else apart from EVERQUEST, upon a friends recommendation. I wasn't to familiar with the C&C franchise of RTS games from Westwood. Now I am a fan of the series.
In this part you can save after each level, it is easier in that respect. I find the gems easier to collect than in the first forbidding game. The designs of the adventure is by far better than the firs.
663 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have played this game again and gain and again. it has an wit and humor about ti that makes you laugh along with wonderful charecters and a diverse and suprising story line. puzzles are moderate in hardness and the whole thing is like a movie. I felt my self saying aww in dissapointment when it was over. (i wanted to keep playing!) I LOVE this game.
In this day and age of excessively bloody and violent video games the Crash Bandicoot series is a great sigh of relief. I tend to enjoy sillier cartoonish games like this. I will never tire of this game.
- Wipeout 2
9556 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still play this game from time to time. The gameplay still holds up to be one of the better turned based strategy games that I've ever played.
This is THE greatest game EVER made. It surpasses the mighty Metal Gear Solid, commonly thought to be the greatest, by a million miles. It also wastes any other FF, RPG, Game, Movie, Book, anything!
Bottom line: Rage Wars is an excellent multiplayer game that retains the satisfying gameplay and fun feel of the Turok series.
1367 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been playing video games for years. My first console was the original Nintendo and then the Super Nintendo followed by the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64 came out when I was about 10 years old and it was an instant hit. Super Mario 64 was the greatest Super Mario game of them all. My nephew has a Nintendo 64 and he wants some new games for his birthday. I thought what's better than Super Mario 64. I bought this for his birthday and he will love it. I would recommend Super Mario 64 to anyone who wants to play a fun and family oriented Mario game.
When battling Bowser in this game, I was disappointed. He's so easy. When I beat him the first time I was surprised how easy he was. It was more difficult getting to Bowser than it was battling him. But all three incredible boss stages that were before the battles are so much fun it makes up for it.
726 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, works fine!
Now, let's go back to 1999 for a moment. The world of 3D gaming was in full swing at that point in time. 1999 was a year when people were anxiously awaiting what the Playstation 2 would give us, while at the same time, we were appreciating what the original Playstation was offering. The original Playstation, as you may already know, is where the survival horror genre *really* became popular. Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and, the now underrated and unfortunately forgotten, Dino Crisis series.
9266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is a game that can only reshape the genre, very much as Half Life did. Besides the obvious use of eye popping graphics and visceral and highly stylizied Hong Kong Movie style gunplay a la aptly named bullet time, this is a very engrossing game. The story moves along at a very crisp pace, giving you the feeling that the net is closing in on you as both the cops and the villains want you dead. The game also employs a nice touch, that it borrowed from Grim Fandango, where your head turns to look at items of interest. I cannot put this game down!! It will surprise you. I recommend that you try the demo, at least. You will need a hefty PC and 3d card to run this game well.
5603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was shipped the next day, and delivered the day after, seeing as how it as shipped from MO, and I LIVE in MO! Discs were in excellent condition (no scratches), the case is intact, but it was a little dirty. I just wiped it off with a rag and water. I honestly expected to get the greatest hits version, but I got the black label version! :D Only minor issue is i doesn't come with the manual, as said in the description. Overall, I'm VERY happy with my purchase!
5358 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Okay is this a April fools joke this game is terrible mortal kombat in 3D what were they thinking this game is bad really bad mk4 in 3D that just puts the other ones to shame. so midway check your mk games before bringing them out because this game just sucks don't even buy it i don't recommend it to any mk fan the controls are terrible so i could go on but theres so much wrong with this game that's why i gave it 1 stars
Here's where the game REALLY shines, giving us some of the most memorable tunes in video games.
7132 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It gives a noticably better picture than A/V. DVD Playback is sharper and the games are also very sharp and well defined. I have the interact cable and I've never had any problems with it. It's the same as this one.
You are the son of a famous general who, on a quest for the empire, stumbles onto a renegade army of outlaws, called the Liberation Army, a group of people who seek to overthrow the empire. You, inevitably, get caught up in their cause. Where Suikoden differs from other RPGs is the diverse selection of fighters you can choose from, 108 intotal. Each character has various abilities and attributes, and can help in different ways. Finding all 108 characters helps give Suikoden some decent replay value. Unlike Final Fantasy VII, which spans 3 CDs, Suikoden only spans one, so don't expect the 100+ hours of game time.
Unlike so many other online RPGs, Asheron's Call has a PLOT. YES, there are goals, events, quests... PLUS, the team at Turbine pops in and throws "spur of the moment" events at the players. (Ask any of us old-timers about the Tremendous Monogua!)
This is a perfect LoZ collectors item.
Concept-Take the Video Game Icon and put him in his deepest and most challenging game yet.
7386 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think this is the best game ever for the old black and white Game Boy. The graphics are great for Game Boy there are seven different levels that you must complete to and get golden coins before entering Wario's Castle and fighting him. There are also hidden levels. You can save your game. You can save up to three different games. If you have Game Boy Color it interprets the black and white into some color pretty well. This is a great game if you see it for sale somewhere used.
However, Sonic Adventure is not without flaws. The cutscenes aren't amazing, and while the story is nicely done, some bits of dialogue are a bother (THAT'S A CHAOS EMERALD! - Says Knuckles as 2 Chaos Emeralds have been spotted). Oh, yeah, and there's Big the Cat. Nevertheless, these are, of course, minor problems, as the game is so much fun that you'd hardly think about them.
I also recommend the remake for gamecube and zero. AND 2 of course.
Overall - 9/10: This game was a joy to play. It has it's ups and downs, like 40+ hours into the game you want it to be over, but the game's story keeps the plot twists coming and the game keeps you glued to your seat to find out what happens next.
In many ways, Final Fantasy 7 is far from perfect. The graphics, compared to today, are dated, grainy, and harsh. The storyline reeks of cliche-ridden overtones. The characters seem generic. However, this is all a product of subsequent games.
Weaker story / cliche / cheesy at times
536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The one thing people are missing to consider about this game is that, if you notice, the collection is a collection indeed, and a fine one at that, but mostly shows how the Street Fighter series evolved. If you note that it goes from Super Street Fighter II, to SSFII Turbo, to SF Alpha 2 gold. Well, my point is that it shows in order how the series evolved to becoming more complex and technical with Super Combos added. 1st it starts with Super II, no supers at all, just classic, then goes to Super II Turbo, where the super combo made it's debut, and every body had only one super, then goes to Alpha 2 Gold, where it really shows what you can do with a super combo, plus more characters, and every body had atleast 2 super combos.
6610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can't go wrong here. Final Fantasy 6 (released as 3 on the SNES in the US) is hands down the best in the series. Play through the story of Terra, now with FMV cutscenes. This is worth playing even if you played the original, just for the FMV sequences. Then you get Final Fantasy V, long hailed as the best game the US market missed out on. This is truly a great re-release.
7501 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Yoshi's Island was a huge hit in the mid-90s. The Nintendo 64 follow-up, however, isn't living up to it. It uses 2D graphics all around without any 3D models to be seen other than the pop-up book (Which is where the game takes place in, by the way) and what it's lying on.
5573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome - love it!
Remember how extremely bizarre the worlds were in the previous games? Well, Wario Land is no different when it comes to that, but what it actually brings you could make you think "What the heck..?", and not in a bad way, either. These new landscapes are very interesting and fun to explore.

5241 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I actually bought the combo pack for the PS3 but decided to purchase the original for Playstation 1. Still a classic in my eyes.
8742 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game but I don't remember being this mf hard as I get older my patients gets thin waiting
Even though you might be able to find this, I suggest you pick it up. Dust off your N64 and dive into what is one of the 90's most critically acclaimed and commercial masterpieces ever.
- No Wi-Fi since it wasn't invented back in the 90s
1) No coop mode - I really enjoyed that
2708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My favorite RPG of all time. Perfect plot and battle elements. The extras that come with this set are well worth the price.
Note* The Dreamcast is pretty hard to find now and so are it's games so Amazon is the best place to find the games... This system is brilliant and plays brilliant games so get it!!!!
3534 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have a ps and a n64 thats all but my dc is great and i think you have to have this VMU because if you don't a lot of game you cant play i would say BUY THIS ITS GREAT!
The game's incorrect pacing destroys the rest of that illusion. Instead of encouraging the player to take his/her time as the show does, a 30-second clock is inexplicably added. And while the game rushes you through the questions themselves, it needlessly slows down between them. Since the designers couldn't have Regis read the questions, they clearly wanted to maximize his involvement between questions; so the game stops after every question while Regis delivers one of a set of long canned remarks. This is tolerable later in the game, but it comes across as simply silly during the first few easy questions that the TV show would blast through in short order.
2100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is a lot of fun to play. It's really cute, and easy to control
1356 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really like the product, and it got here really fast too, thanks for everything.
It is a little on the short side, but I was ready for the end when I got to it because it's mostly mindless gun-fighting in close quarters. Still, it's fun and there are 4 different skill levels to play, so it does have replayability. There is a big difference in difficulty from the Fugative level to the Hard Boiled. I haven't played Dead on Arrival yet or the New York Minute, but I plan to when I just want to have some fun and get freaky with the shot-dodging.
8624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
9862 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game very much. Owned this and played through this game back in high school but sold it after I had completed it. I now own it again and I am enjoying it all over again.
The artificial intelligence and pathfinding of the game is the best I've ever seen. No RTS game has perfect AI or pathfinding (units getting lost or tangled up on each other or the terrain), but Starcraft's is by far better than any others out there. The computer will flatten you time and again unless you're playing competently.
6121 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many people think red and blue were the frist pokemon games. They aren't. Pokemon green was was the frist. In 1996,pokemon red and blue were made. But pokemon green was only in Japan. Pokemon green was the same just in Japanese. Some famous glitches such as missingno and mew glitch might not work the same in green as in red and blue.
5601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My First Final Fantasy! Great story, a bit of a confusing junction system, but characters are likable and music is memorable. If you can look past the graphics, its great!
Sword of the Berserk
6670 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good game to buy super mario land for game boy
- Castlevaina: Symphony of the night
3976 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought my Dreamcast several months ago and I bought several games, some which needed nearly 200 blocks of memory which is all that one VMU can hold! So I picked up a Mega Memory card. It has 800 blocks of memory which is like having 4 VMU's in one!(but without the screen).
Gameplay: The Gameplay is what you'd expect in a platformer. There are five warp rooms with twenty-five levels. You have to finish each level by collecting all three crystals for that level. If you run out of lives you lose and can return to the last level played. 8/10
- great classic ps1 game
3816 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've loved all of the Mechwarrior games, they are always so easy: stand and pick other Mechs off at extreme long range. Besides graphics changes the two big changes are a nice zooming rectile, to make those long-range shots easier and a "Mobile Field Base" that will fix you up in the middle of a mission. All of this makes the campaign short, just 10 hours or so.
Kirby's white? What? Due to the graphical limitations of the Gameboy Kirby could not be pink in on the Gameboy. So Nintendo didn't want any false expectations so they made Kirby white on the cover. If you play this with a GBA he is indeed pink.
- Castlevaina X (Japanese version for the P.C. not the U.S. version on SNES)
The mysterious quality about all of the hidden goodies littered throughout the world (an unreachable ledge here, an edge-of-the-screen-seen cave there) adds to the already impressive atmosphere generated by the music.
Do yourself a favor, power up your warp engines and get away from this title, as fast as you can.
7769 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Seriously, if you haven't played this game on SNES you are missing out. I don't believe it's better than Ocarina of Time, which some of my friends think, but it's up there. Of all the great SNES titles, this one is probably my favorite.
.Fight throu 10 stages to beat ogre and open new charecters and modes
7208 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just plain awesome, in every aspect imaginable. Many characters, options, stages, weapons, game scenarios, and single player modes are abound. The near-infinite replay value alone means that this game deserves five stars.
3628 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ... there are too many parties and too large of a userbase to just let die. Look at these factors:
This game has to be played to be really appreciated. On the hardware side of things EAX and A3D audio support are present and accounted for as well as force feedback. And to make things even merrier Interplay has recently released the game. It's called FreeSpace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition and it has 20 additional levels, which brings the total number to 50. There's also high resolution wallpaper and a few other goodies not found on the original CD
6154 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 As I'm unable to "fully" review this game, let me just say, the game is not compatible with WIN XP. If you are lucky (or foolish) enough to still be running Win 98, then you may be able to get the game to load.
1540 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Soul Blade is the very first game in the Soul Caliber series. I guess it was Soul Blade in the arcade and became Soul Caliber years later for the Dreamcast and they decided just to go with that from then on. It's quite a classic in my opinion. That's actually why I bought it because to be honest the game play has aged a bit and there are much tighter fighting games out there now. It's still a great game to have though. Aside from being the arcade game there is also a weapons master mode in which you select a character and play out a story where you travel the land acquiring new weapons in search of the legendary Soul Blade. If you were into arcade fighting games in the 90's then you should probably have this.
expecting a game that has a fair difficulty, and easy to control, I would suggest playing something else instead.
Honestly, the only entertaining and redeeming part of this game are the Jetpac and Donkey Kong hidden arcade games.
This actually was THE game that hooked me to the Genesis. You'd think that after playing tons of Sonic 2, Aladdin, and X-Men that I would've been thoroughly hooked, and while those games are classics, this one particular game somehow snatched me by [my sensitive areas] and told me to buy a Genesis (which I did, with the ever-so-needed Sega CD attachment). Guess I'm just weird.
The story takes place a bit after Res 2 (which happened before and during Res 3, if you can keep up). Claire Redfield, while looking for her brother Chris, has been captured by Umbrella and detained on an uncharted island. Of course, zombies come out from nowhere, and Claire has to find a way to get off the island. The plot is top notch, and some parts had me going, "What the heck?", while the creatures had me saying other words I shouldn't say. The game is engrossing, and with the addition of a dark room and surround sound, it's really creepy. Creaking sounds and footsteps will have you wondering what's behind door #1 (giant spiders make quick thump-thump-thump sounds with their legs before they come to chew on you), and the beasts are rendered nicely (in a scare-you-silly kind of way). The puzzles will make you think, as checking everything you collect is the only way to get through.
maybe have a better aim at the boss. I have given up after losing several sets of lives. I grew up with the N64, and
7532 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good game and the grapics are good, but there is only one problem... It isn't 3D...but that doesn't take away from the excitement of the game. You start out with six yoshis, but as you progress you can unlock a white yoshi and a black yoshi. The game itself has many levels and areas to play in..a few of them look sort of alike. But i recomend this game to any age, if you are a Super Mario fan, than this game is perfect for you! HIGHLY recommeded!!
IF you are as into the story line as i am .you KNOW that raziel was never in the first blood omen BUT in this game they said he was.( even placed him in the room with the orignal pillar people ( hehe )( you will know what i am talking about when you play)
It's not for free - ... - but for a household that is currently not on the Internet, the price gets both the web access and unlimited gameplay. You also need to buy a keyboard if you wish to do any web work.

cut-scenes are a bit more pixelated than the Playstation version none the less a solid game that has withstood the test of time and will continue to influence RPG titles far into the future. I just wish they would re-make it for the PS3 cause then I would have an excuse to buy one.
9909 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Game was one of the best I remember playing as a kid. Pick your favorite turtles charactor and beat the tar out of all your other favorites. It plays alot like Street Fighter 2. Add in instant kill moves ala Guilty Gear and the game gets that much more exciting. Highly recomended for the turtle fan and the fighting fan.

3381 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Steven Spielberg proved that Dinosaurs could be menacing and terrorizing and this game only adds to it. This game is similar to Resident Evil (also from Capcom), but more dangerous, because the dinosaurs actually run and jump over things to eat you, unlike sluggish zombies. Rather than stalking screen to screen like with Resident Evil, you can now run through a room and the camera will follow you, making for great chases (Dinosaurs chasing you), but unfortunately this leaves the player at a great disadvantage, because the camera is focused on the player, not the room, so Dinosaurs constantly get the edge lunging onto the screen. A huge plus to the game is the production, because hard work went into making this game and story excellent. The cinematic scenes to start with are of a higher quality and are very detailed, from breezing hair, brushing plant life to seeing the scales on a dinosaur. The dialog is not cheesy or over acted as in other survival horror games. There are nice visual details which no screen shot can show, such as the lighting effects are realistic, a light sources (computer screens, ceiling lights) illuminate on whatever the source hits. An unfortunate detail of this game is that whether you are bitten, clawed or pounced on, you can actually bleed to death without proper medical supplies. Another downfall of the game is that the item screen is not as neat and tidy as Resident Evil's screen. This new system is rather difficult to use. Finally, with the start screen there is no cinematic introduction that will tip anything in the game to the player.
5285 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect
There is little completion bonus with only challenge maps and an extra boss as a reward. But the levels are fun an memorable. The volcanic levels, snow levels, desert levels, and castle levels are extremely fun and exciting.
6056 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I was so disappointed in this game. It really had very little story line and the graphics were poorly done as well as the puzzles. I may have spent 3 hours on this game from start to finish and continued to be disappointed with the ending of the game. About all I can say about this game is that they tried...
There are a lot of good things about this game. There are a total of 20 "jobs" in the game, ranging from the usual things like Wizards, Healer-types, and sword-wielding Knights to exotic classes such as the Ninja, the Calculator, and those ever-popular Summoners. Each character starts out as one of two "generic" classes, and as they level up and learn new abilities, more and more of the other classes are unlocked and become available. Most of the battles you participate in allow you to take a party of five characters into action, although there are a few exceptions. So, the possible combinations of battle parties one can create is almost endless. The customization part of this game is probably its strongest point, because it allows for hours of fun experimentation as you learn the different jobs' strengths and weaknesses. The battles themselves are somewhat like a giant chess match, where you and the computer manuever your men around a 3-D battlefield, trying to take and hold the most advantageous positions to use to your advantage. One of the best things about all this is that you have to be careful how you use magic. The high-level magic spells in this game can be quite powerful, but the player must learn how to use it properly, or else you will kill off your own group members in addition to the enemies. There are many different types of battlefields, ranging from open prairies, to castles and dungeons, to swampland, and everything in between. The story battles are filled with drama and danger, and the random battles you get into as you move from town to town will keep your skills maxed out, since the monsters in random battles level up along with you, so you will always be challenged, even when revisiting areas near the beginning of the game. The in-game music and graphics are excellent, given that this game is several years old. The shops in the game are where you will go to purchase the vast majority of your weapons, armor, and items, and there is a very well-done "fitting room" system to ensure that you know ahead of time what you are buying and what it will do for you before you spend money on it. Once you have been through a few battles, money worries will rapidly fade. It's also easy to keep plenty of items in stock so you never run out during battle. There are also a number of sidequests, as we have come to expect from all Final Fantasy games, and they are rewarding, fun, and generally worthwhile.
5828 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Due to this being a review of a much older game there are newer titles to compare this one too. However, despite having poorer graphics than FF X, and being that there is no voice acting in this title when there should have been, at least for the FMVs, its easy to avoid going back to this title for those who have yet to play it. This however, would remain a mistake. Like Star Trek, the best Final Fantasy games end in an even number, and FF VIII is no exception. The graphics were the pinnacle of Playstation graphics, and the sound track remains arguably the best of the franchise. The story is where the game really shines. It's a romance, something that Square hadn't done effectively in the past. This game excels at the romance aspects of the story where all other FF games have failed. More importantly, for me, is that the main character is not an overly perky blonde hair blue eyed happy dude, but one much more like myself. Darker, moodier, and misunderstood as being distant and cold. Squall has a great deal of objections to overcome in identifying and getting a firm grip on love, and even then he has trust issues making him a character that is much easier for me to identify with as Squall and I are a lot alike. (Not easy to admit, but true.) It was also nice to see an FF game without the generic overly happy personality. It was also nice to see a lead male in FF without blonde hair.

4256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You will come to understand that video games are an artform when you start playing Starcraft. First, you'll find a story which masterfully weaves between 3 different races in grand, interstellar conflict, with a cast of hundreds. This story comes to you in movies, in briefings, and in the game itself, such that you actually play the story, and react against it (or drive it forward). I've played this game from start to finish 4 times now, just to relive the amazing tale.
6238 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is still widely considered an A+ game as a unique, creative, thoughtful, story-driven open rpg. This is not a battle-driven game like baldur's gate, but there is melee and magic... But the dialogue is great, good characters, the story is deep, it will make you laugh and think and feel sad... It is a grim but extremely creative world. Lot of detail. Interesting complex world (competing factions, moral choices, different planes of existence, towns, etc.) Very immersive game. Read the gaming reviews, besides the user reviews here. AND know there is a great set of mods by the programming fan community to make this modern resolutions scaled for current screens. Also fixes a number of bugs & adds other options. Just Google "planescape torment mods". Thunderpeel2001's page explains it best. Oh yeah, this is an isometric (top down) RPG... But the view is somewhat closer to the ground and angled a bit so the details and characters are easier to see than in most isometric rpg's.
2887 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For my sister.
The only negatives to this game are the frequency of the "Block Puzzles" and a couple of minor technical glitches, but in this game they are comparatively trivial when weighted out against the drama, atmosphere and overall depth of the game
5389 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I still play this game, you if you're a first person shooter, you should understand why. Doom is still a classic killing game, despite the fact that it is an older and out dated play style, bested by the newer and hotter lines such as Call of Duty:Modern Warfare and others like them. However, I still like this game for 3 reasons.... Bazookas, BFG2000, and the willies!! Yes, the spine tingling you get when your stare too long at the screen while playing Doom and the music creeps you out some much you need to pause the game to turn on the lights!!
1398 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I'm pretty sick and tired of people calling Super Mario 64 a classic. It's not. Just because it's significant and influential in helping pave the way for future Mario titles doesn't mean Super Mario 64 is deserving of its classic status, or that it's any fun to actually play. Super Mario Galaxy came along and pretty much improved every single aspect of Super Mario 64 so you basically no longer have to play this game other than to get a dated taste of mid 90's gaming history. The only other possible reason someone would play Super Mario 64 is because they desperately seek open world exploration, and this is basically the only Mario platformer that can at least attempt to satisfy gamers with that particular appetite. Not that I personally believe the game succeeds at the exploring aspect either.
Music (6/10): I still can't figure out why people claim this game has a great soundtrack. I've even heard people claim that Grandia's music is some of their most favorite of all time. I wonder if Grandia is the only RPG they've ever played? Anyway, the majority of the tracks weren't too bad. Unfortuneately, I remember some pretty bad ones. There's one jungle where the "music" seems to only be ambient jungle wildlife sounds, which got annoying after the 50th bird call. Unlike others, I found the Gumbo song to be one of the most annoying village themes ever. It's okay right at first, but then starts to grate on your nerves the longer you stay in the village. One more thing-the voice acting deserves mention. It's bad. I rank it as the worst voiceing I've ever heard in a game. It sounds like they literally pulled people off the street and offered them $10 to read off some lines. Terrible.
5718 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When Final Fantasy VII debuted in 1997 it was hailed as the greatest of great RPGs. When Final Fantasy VIII came around in 1999, it had so much to live up to. So much hype that the bar was set too high, even for Final Fantasy VIII to hit. Almost ten years later, it's a little easier to look at Final Fantasy VIII with fondness. In part because that bar it had to reach is no longer there. The hype has settled. We can now look at Final Fantasy VIII for what it is. It's a great game to be sure, but it still has some problems it has to address.

4262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After all these years, StarCraft is still the best RTS choice by fans, pc magazines around the world. There are plenty of replay values, thanks to Star Editor. Better yet, it isn't that complicated either unlike other game's editor. You could make your own custom campaigns, and custom maps very easily. If you don't want to, you could download custom maps from blizzard.com. I just hope Blizzard make few more custom campaigns and put them on their website for downloading. StarCraft: Battle Chest has original StarCraft, StarCraft expansion set: Brood War and two separate guide for each game for you to enjoy the world of StarCraft. ... Go buy it now! You'll be glad that you did.
It's an impressive game to begin and it comes so close to being exactly like the arcade version. While it didn't add a bunch of exclusive content, it's still fun and even better when you get more people to play against you. We may never know if Rare was to make part 3 of this fighting game series but it would be cool to see how they would stack up against Street Fighter 4 and the new, revamped Mortal Kombat game. Pick this up used because finding it new means you'll pay a hefty price. I recommend this to all fighting fans, especially the ones who grew up in the 90s.
As others have pointed out, even the keyboard commands have problems. Assigning a lifeline to the same key as an answer choice is begging for mistakes; and the lack of an "Is that your final answer?" question in most cases further increases the possibility of errors, as well as erasing the remainder of the feel of being on the show.
If you call yourself a games collecter you would have bought this game half a decade ago. If not then it is not to late to...you traded in your PSone?...well that's clever.
7100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love my donkey Kong! Works great, no problems.
I remember playing GT1 to death back when it first came out. I never got a chance at GT2 but now after playing it I realized what I missed out on. Of course it feels nothing like a simulator these days, but you can still feel it seeping through its age. While GT2 doesn't boast a lot of races or modes like in GT4 or 5 it still holds its own ground. With the introduction of rally races and a new lineup of cars GT2 it a really good racer. Of course you can take your tests, wash your car, and tune them up just like with today's GTs.
Game Boy Color's portability alone is a great plus. It fits in your pocket! The games are extensive, with so many titles spanning a decade.
9611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've definetely have got to agree with some reviewers here that FF Tactics isn't everyone's cup of cake (not if you want flashy 3D Graphics and lengthy FMVs, here it's 2D and and has brief FMVs). It is a heck of a difficult game for starters, if you play without guidebooks. You may attempt hours or days on a single mission or even restarting from scratch and that is just the cool part of FFT; it is the most challenging Square game since FFV and FF VI. The wide range of jobs and abilities is what that'll hook you till months, with again, ridiculously hard mini-quests as bonus if you're willing to endure another couple of weeks of migraine (especially the NOGIAS dungeon). The 2D graphics are probably the most eye-candy ever on PS with cool 2D spells, awesome soundtrack and great stereo sound. Again, this might not be everyone's cup of cake.

8837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game had more combos then Mortal Kombat it should have been remember now. I wish they were still making games of this on PS2. You can make the fighters fight faster by holding down all the buttons when you pick your fighter and when they have on the screen your fighter vs the computer to tell that it worked it will make a punching sound. The computer always tell you how many combos you made in other words how many hits. The most hit is the altra which has 24 hits, thats the finishing one. My favorite fighters are Spinal, Fulgore, B. Orchid, Jago, Combo, Thunder, Saberwolf, Raptor, Cinder. This game makes the Street Fighter games on Super NES look like a pre school game.
Recommended.
i really don't get Y they went with cartridges, I mean I love them, but audio & video is almost completely non existant on here, music loops kinda short, the cutscenes are used with polygons instead of CG, but load times are only 2 seconds!
I suppose the biggest negative factors are 1)it's complexity and 2)it's similarity to the Civilation series. However, these are minor as 1)there are ways of simplifying gameplay and once you understand it's complexity, you only get that much more out of the game and 2)even though it is similar to Civilization, there are also many differences and I think this game is far superior to any of the civilization games.
Much of the game's feeling stems from the interactivity of its world. You can spend hours exploring a certain area and still have not seen everything there is to see. For example, many of the game's locations have these hidden holes you can jump into and find hidden goodies (as well as hear some pretty haunting music). Once you obtain the Stone Of Agony, however, you find out that these randomly placed secrets are only the beginning. I won't go into too much detail here since you need to play the game for yourself to really appreciate it. Another thing that makes this game feel more realistic than previous Zeldas is character interaction. Remember how decidedly generic a lot of the NPCs in Zeldas II and III were? In TOOT, each and every NPC is given at least some sort of personality so that you can easilly distinguish him/her from the rest of the game's characters as well as once again feel like you're a part of Hyrule. And of course, the third dimension (the dimension we live life through) helps the game a great deal.
The only real problem here is the create a wrestler, it's preety shallow and the move list is that of where you must pick another guys moves (I generally used either Sting, Goldberg, Nash, or Chris Benoit) and stick with that.
This is a rare RTS that can accomodate any general's strategy. You can focus on air power, artillery, tank rushes, infantry rushes, naval bombardment, airdrops... you name it, you can do it.
Pros:
1090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has crossed the "I Like You" line. It's just like the old one from NES, although, I know about the dungeons and the weapons because I have the old one. So, it's fun to play for a while until you get to the Water Temple, it gets confusing there. So, use the Player's Guide to cheat, so that you won't get stuck. I played a long time ever since it came out. It was the game that caught my eye and though I had to have the game. I am a Zelda fan and I hope that you have fun playing it as well. I just like to see Link grow up.
The characters are all very rounded and all have a depth of story to them that is very typical of Final Fantasy, but they are not loosely connected by coincidence, but rather a drive to see the world saved. Their reasons are all unique to them and it makes the story as believable as any since we all know what it's like to be part of a group that stands for something, even if it's something small. The antagonist is just as round. Sephiroth is as complicated as the rest and will present quite a challenge to you as you progress through the game.
This game really earns the M rating. Not for being inappropriate. It just deals with MAture subjects such as life: Life, Death, Torment, Belief, and relationships with others. Torment is a recurring theme.
Graphically Final Fantasy VII is a mixed bag. In 1997 these graphics were phenominal. the pre-rendered backgrounds are still incredible looking even to this day. The seventh Final Fantasy has a lot of style. The polygons are charming though they don't look as cool as the rest of the environments. The FMVs are still amazing and wonderfully detailed for its time. There are a couple of moments of slowdown with Final Fantasy VII, however, and some of the summon animations can get lengthy and repetitive. But they don't take away from its wildly detaile environments.
In the end, I replaced the screen and saved myself the pain of buying a new/used/refurb gamepad for $150-$180. If done properly, no one will ever know you opened the gamepad. There are no seals to break, or anything that would tip off Nintendo or Gamestop that you've tampered with it, in the event you send it in for warranty or trade it in.
until much later after its release. Despite this, Suikoden II has entered
5383 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 good purchase
THE MUSIC: The game ranges from toy factories, jungles, pyramids and the like, so you can imagine a wide arrange of tunes to come across. Some of the music is pretty catchy, but I didn't find myself dazzled by any means. I found myself humming 2 or 3 songs, but that was it, none of which you'll be hearing very often. The sound-effects are fitting and pretty original. Thanks to this game every time I see an orange, I immediately think of the sound the orange grenades make in this game. Pretty funny right? VERDICT: *** 3/5
I tossed it in the garbage and vowed never to buy another codemasters game. I'm really tired of arcade style rally/racing games anyway.
a) Sega has all but given up on the DreamCast and is now moving on to being a third party developer
- Graphics are pretty dated
1753 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Runs perfectly for such an old game. No scratches at all and even came in the original case!
No game will ever come close to the unmitigated brilliance that was Sierra's 1998 release Half-Life, so expecting a mission pack to come even close may have hurt public opinion for this game. Not helping matters is the fact that for about the same cost you get a far shorter game. Additionally, the weapons are all apprehended too quickly and a lot of the plot (which dissapears all too quickly) meshes with the original game.
Overall it's still a fun game for the SNES & for the nostalgia of it. The game has obviously aged since it's release 20yrs ago. Still cool though....Best played with a friend or family member. I'd say this is worth picking up for farely cheap. MK2 is where SNES incorporated the blood and fatalities like the arcade.

This is a great game! If you are trying to decide between this, and the new Bond game then buy this one. It is MUCH better than "The World is Not Enough" in every possible aspect. The weapons, the levels, the gameplay, and the graphics cannot compare! If you liked GoldenEye, you'll LOVE this game.
Before I begin I want to stress that this review won't be going into the content of each guide. With the exception of the Skyward Sword guide, each of these guides is exactly the same as their standard (and separately released) collector's edition counterpart. The reason Skyward Sword is not the same is because this copy was revised and expanded upon. Aside from that, the other five guides are largely unchanged from their original releases. There are subtle differences but nothing that greatly changes the actual content in the guide.
2541 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Bros Deluxe was released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color and is essentially a port of one of the best NES games starring Mario. Normally, this idea would have sold millions of copies but Nintendo went an extra mile or two. Super Mario Bros Deluxe is the original game plus extra content that equaled a must buy title. If you were a Game Boy Color owner, you immediately bought this and played the hell out of it.
9048 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 computer version alot better
Where the game starts to frustrate is Rareware's typical way of extending play time. Beat the courses once, then race through them again and collect 8 hard-to-reach coins while still maintaing first place. This leads to a harder boss encounter, and must be done to unlock the final levels and the best ending. Little kids will probably throw the controller down right here, but anyone who's worth anything in video games will find it immensely satisfying to clear Rare's requirements and unlock all that the game has to offer. Seperates the men from the boys, and all that.
- Nicely balanced gameplay
1718 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even with the advent of the PS2/3, the original "Resident Evil" still holds its water against the modern era of video games. It set the standard for "survival horror" in video games. It frightens and delights. The controls take a little to get down, and the intensity and urgency of the game demand that you get those under control or be eaten.
3088 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When i first played this game, I was stunned. This game is the basis for any RPG ever put into circulation. There is no way you cannot be moved by the storyplot. The characters in this game have a one of the gratest Personality that any RPG game can offer. The score(soundtack) of this game is one of the bests ever put into an RPG because it sets the tone for this. In order to play this game, You need to have a mind that can understand the reality of the game and I Mean that in a good way. Even if you're not into RPG's, Any true playstation Gamer should own a copy because it is a Miracle. This game is one for the books.
The story on the other hand wasn't too bad. It filled some plot holes between V and VI just fine, and the overall sound quality was not bad for N64, considering that the sound had to be compressed before it could be released, because of the format limitations of cartridges at the time. Overall, this game is passable, but if you are
3174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hello All,
All in all, Batman Returns is a great Genesis game. It's not quite up there with classics like Gunstar Heroes, or the other great movie tie-in game Aladdin, and it definitely doesn't look or play as well as either, but its overall charm, strategic gameplay elements, wonderful soundtrack and brooding visuals certainly make for a great game that deserves a better reputation than it has. Just don't expect to get through this one on your first, or even fifth, try.
2817 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game, takes me back to my childhood. Would recommend!
There becomeing very hard to find, so if you own one of these, consider yourself lucky and hang onto it. In a hundred years it could be worth millions to some electronics antique shop.
The pros: close to arcade experience,creative fighters,light-medium-heavy buttons add more strategy to gameplay,beautiful backgrounds,added extra hyper mode to add to really fast experience for people with a.d.d.,bosses are pickable now,before it was just the eight fighters only

8931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Words cannot describe how blown away I was by this game when I played it for the first time at the tender age of about 8-10 years old. Being a huge fan of the original Metroid for NES (possibly the greatest game ever made, or equal to this one), I was frantic when I saw the commercial for this game on TV (Yep, I still vividly remember the commercial, even after all these years.) When i finally was able to purchase this game, I could barely handle the excitement. Sitting down and playing it, I was not the least disappointed. The graphics were amazing, the music atmospherically beautiful, and to be honest, I was completely captivated by the awesomeness of Samus's suit. I have played most of the great NES and SNES games, but none of them stand out in my memory as strongly as this one. I still remember getting stuck in Brinstar for a long time because I didn't know pressing "B" made the character run!!( this was the first game I ever played that had a run option, i believe). I vividly remember looking in the instruction booklet and anxiously awaiting finding the powerbombs. Anyway, this game is just great, so I'll break it down for you:
By all means, purchase a copy of this game and play it. Play it like you mean it, and absorb everything the game has to offer in sound, mood, setting, and storyline. Game designers take note: this game is what we should be making now, with today's audio and video capabilities. Planescape: Torment has the best story of any game made to date, and it totally dominates the gameplay experience. Thinking about this game gives me hope for the future of RPGs as interactive novels and world-as-playground games that tease the mind and excite the imagination. This is the game that sets the bar for an entire genre.
First off, the storyline is amazing. The main character is a young man named Ramza (you can change his name) who wants to follow his father's path and become a knight of great respect. However, he goes through a time of deceit, treachery, murder, and turmoil. Everything is just plain wrong in his eyes and in the end, he has no idea on which side to take up, so he fights on his own side, which in your eyes might be the good side (it was in mine). There are so many twists to this game you'll keep coming back for more.
HOWEVER, in Windows 7 with modern high-performance graphics adapters, I'm not getting the stunning space background that I remember so well from my XP days. The ships render fine, but the background has a more granular color separation (bands of color instead of smooth transitions). Some old games just don't run as well on modern hardware. It's not bad, but just not as beautiful. If I had never played on an older system, I would not notice anything wrong. So no reason to knock off a star - five stars for a truly great 3D game.
Tails--HORRIBLE
5312 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I do love the CROC series. As though this game may seem pretty difficult to play and not have a very good game rating score. But to me i like challenges. This adventure is definitely a one in a time classic. Who cannot love their favorite toony crocodile character in this game. I like him. He's funny and cool. I am not saying this is the best game. I had tough times with it when i was just a child but now it's a piece of cake. I would consider people trying this game.
3. Some levels are designed poorly, and can get very frustrating (The "Elevator Hop" being one of them)

643 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is awesome,but see my playstation reveiw for results.
From the opening sequence to the finale, I was hooked. The graphics are amazing. The characters are very well rendered and rather well balanced. You have your constent movement, fast players as well as the guard forever and kill in one blow slow guy along with many consistent characters. My favorite character is Taki, but that's probably because she reminds me of Chung Li.
8848 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game works great!
And of course each leader you can choose has distinct advantages and disadvantages, lending themselves to different playstyles. It would take quite a while to master every faction and playstyle in this game.
7451 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the greatest racing games for the N64, it is ridiculously fun. You may have rented it, owned it, or played it at hotel rooms back in the day but if you haven't I highly recommend you see what the fuss is about. It really is that good!
9829 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Would of been awesome if this came with its original box and everytthing
Same thing as every other Final Fantasy game released before its time. There's seriously nothing revolutionary about this game. It's the same boring, lazy turn-based system you're used to, except they actually find ways to make it even less enjoyable. The movement of the battles themselves feels and looks glitched, and every time you use an attack, skill, or spell, you'll be sitting there waiting for them to finish with your thumb up your ass. Oh, and if you plan on summoning a powerful magic creature from the Summon materia...well, I certainly hope you stocked up on food, drinks, and toilet paper; you'll be sitting there staring at the atrociously-long summon animations for the next hour and a half before you can even make your next move.
9608 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Some people accuse Square for trying to make more and more money off FF with this title. Well.... so that's what they wanted to do! They ARE running a business, ya know! What I love about Square is that they always manage to do it RIGHT.

9610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are many indications of whether a game is good. Final Fantasy Tactics has at least two of those indications. 1) Although the Playstation 1 is in its Dark Ages, many last-second RPG's are using the Final Fantasy Tactics battle system. 2) The game had to be reissued, due to popular demand.
2198 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in perfect condition. Works great!
4221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is incredible. The graphics are great and the game play is awesome. You can build several different-style rides, including water slides, go carts, bumper cars, and classic rides such as the ferris wheel, scrambler, and merry-go-round. And who could forget the roller coasters? Pick your design and place a pre-constructed layout or build your own for unlimited designs. This is one of the best games I have, and I would recommend you go get it right now!
Vaio series is ,if I say to that simply, a active horror and action game. The main character of the game collect many weapons and curing items etc , you defeat the monsters that get to be stronger and storonger as story advance. The weapon is real too. For instance, the sound of the bullets, gravity feeling when the character have his gums at the ready...
Okay, now onto the good. The weapon selection in the game isn't all that big, but you do get what you need to accomplish your goals so I don't really have a complaint about that. As a matter of fact, I liked the fact that you were given a weapon that had unlimited use. It's called a welder(why I don't know), and seems strange to be a weapon, but it's very effective against single zombies, and some of the smaller creatures you run across. This allows you to save your ammunition for some of the tougher zombies, and the bigger monsters you run into later. I never came close to running out of ammunition by using the welder a lot early in the game when the creatures were weaker.
function that you can select instead of individually inputting each character's
-The SPECIAL STAGES ARE TOUGH FOR MOST PEOPLE. I'm not complaining so much because I enjoy a good challenge, but for the sake of beginners it's waaaaay too simple to lose in the special stages. Interestingly enough, it becomes a mini-game in Sonic & Knuckles, a few years down the road.
It is more oriented to "European market" since here in America there isn't a huge rally fan party. Music it is very European and even the voices from the game very "English" accent.
5912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 People who don't like this game should stop playing games altogether. It excels in graphics, music, gameplay, and story. I have to play it every month just to hear the great music and to play the addictive card game. Maybe it's not the best RPG ever, but it's darn close.
4529 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yikes! Call me a wuss, but some of the areas in AvP made me jump out of my chair! The atmosphere in most of the levels are very dark, so when something JUMPS OUT AT YOU, your heart rate tends to skyrocket! The facehuggers are especially nasty (and cheap), jumping out and landing on your face for an instant kill. My god, when a facehugger jumps on your face, making an awful hissing noise and quite abruptly takes up 80% of the screen, it's a wonder why Fox Interactive hasn't been sued yet for causing a few heart attacks! And man, this game is HARD! But, Fox has released a patch with a save feature, so it's okay now. Believe me, this game is not intended for the faint of heart! But, for those of us who aren't, go out and BUY this! And play it at night too...with the lights turned off.
8769 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Saw someone speed run this in two hours. Bought it so I could give it a try. Failed. Still love it though.
The one thing I did not like is the fact that, once you get a thriving city going, your housing starts to require a lot of things. And unless you are very good at planning ahead, it becomes difficult to get them a steady supply of furniture, pottery, two wines, a varied diet, and olive oil at the same time. Not to mention the education requirements, need for entertainment and sanitation, water restrictions, and the need for arable farmland. That's probably the worst. Ideally, the farmland would be nearby to water, and there would be some forest or scrub near that as well. Not the usual setup, however, which makes getting pottery and furniture to the central populace, who is near the farmland on the other side of the map, a real chore.
The level designs are inventive and just enough of a challenge to keep you interested. The puzzles are solvable, but not boring.
What kind of game will leave you literally praying for another game that rivals it? This kind.
Like I said:This is one of the first Nintendo 64 games! So, it's okay that the graphics are a little blocky and not very detailed. The graphics are very well done.
8527 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of the last games I got for Super Nintendo. I questioned getting it at first since the N64 was to debut soon, but about a fourth of the way through the game, I knew it was a good investment. The graphics are gorgeous and there are all kinds of fun mini-games to participate in. Even the little dialogue scenes are fun. The game is as challenging as you want it to be, and can be especially challenging if you try to fight a boss without having enough experience points first. It can draw you into some LONG battles. My favorite part of the game is buying, selling, and trading stuff.
I love Star Fox 64.
1527 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This Game Isn't Very Exciting. I Don't Like This Game. It's Boring .What You Do In This Game Is Try To Go Through Boring Levels That Don't Look Very Detailed. I Warn You.

3535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The idea of having a memory card that can also douple up as a mini game itself is very clever. The Vmu will save you data and also gives you the facility to exchange data with a friend by conecting the two VMU's together. The VMU is also a clock, the VMU also turns into a miny game. The mini game works depending on what information is saved. For instance if you had power stone and complete the game with different characters you are awarded a prize, one of the prizes is a mini fruit machine to play on the VMU. If you had sonic you can gain a little cyber pet type creature which you raise on the VMU to help your progress on the actual game. So overall SEGA have come up with one fancy gadget
9701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Caesar series of games by Sierra have yet to let me down. This is another great edition. Your cities are beautifully rendered now with improved graphics. You will also find walkers moving about your city which you click on to get interesting feedback about the status of your city. You will build legions and other military troops to defend your city and go on campaign at the request of Caesar. The trade mechanics have been improved as well making it easier to trade and track what is being traded and your trade deficit or surplus.
You start with 3 lives. If your car explodes, you will lose one.

The game centers largely around a group called AVALANCHE (yes, it's officially spelled with capital letters, and no, nobody knows what it's supposed to be an acronym for) which was originally a terroristic cabal founded and led by Barret to combat the global energy conglomerate Shinra, Inc. After undergoing a drastic roster change and getting drawn into the events regarding Shinra, Sephiroth, and the search for the fabled Promised Land, AVALANCHE changes its mission. In addition to saving the planet from Shinra's economic stranglehold and planetary life essence-sucking Mako reactors, it is resolved to find Sephiroth and put a stop to his mysterious designs, at which point the leadership reins are passed from Barret to the main character, Cloud.

2490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game, one of the best for the system. It's certainly innovative when it comes to fighting games. There's no button mashing or crazy combos in this game, just simple B, A and control stick combos. In a way this is good; its not as complicated, and easy to get started. But it's also bad; there's a limited number of moves.
Being the Nintendo fans that we were, we were subscribers to Nintendo Power. I poured over all the pre-cover of their latest [Nintendo] console, as well as any information we could glean of "Super Mario World". I had even known some people who won the SNES in one of those give-aways they used to do back in the 1980s and 1990s on cereal boxes. I was so jealous.
3069 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember back in the old Playstation days where Final Fantasy 7 was all that you wanted play, which is not surprising since this very unique game has a very touching plot, graphics that are so very sharp, characters that you remember--even 7 years back from the game; it's just a solid RPG game that should never be turned down---anybody will love this game. Continue on to hear details that I remember from FF7.
1. story mode that has decent lengthed videos that actually tries to tell a coherent story
and other great DC games.
921 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Let me clear something up: This is by no means a bad game. It is decently enjoyable. However, the reason for the lower score is mostly due to my disappointment with this game. Everybody built it up as the "Best Mario Kart Game". However, my experience with it made it turn out to be my least favorite in the series. It doesn't play fantastic, the graphics are ok, and the game is fairly smooth. However, this game is far from deserving of the unreasonable prices and high praise it gets.
The characters are the typical mario game characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, DK, and Bowser. They should all come in handy sometime in the game, and it should be fun to test them all.
7526 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The digitized actors give the game an interesting visual style, and the levels/backgrounds bear a decent resemblance to certain sections of the movie. As someone who's played a lot of Mortal Kombat I thought the controls were decent, but I can understand how frustrating gadget usage must be if you aren't used to inputting 'special move' commands all the time.
6675 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
3241 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can't go wrong with this game. The character schemes, the fighting mechanics, the play-style, the music, the stages; they are all extraordinary. You're gonna like this game for sure, I guarantee it.
4352 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Single player is very fun and most recommended for the very beginners. But, completing the single player is completely unnecessary, for it doesn't begin to prepare you for the EXTRAORDINARY online gaming experience. Although playing online is free, I would GLADLY pay the price of this game as a monthly fee if need be! A little about the game.. you start off with a single building for your base. As the game progresses you build yourself a bigger base and, depending on the game type(which there are plenty of), you make forces to attack and defend. Too much fun to be able to explain why!
3734 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome seller. Everything as described. I highly recommend buying from this seller again.
6144 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 God I have never liked a space shooter as much as Freespace 2. The joystick is excellent when controlling your craft. You have a nice looking set of ships with good graphics to boot. At the time, pre-Doom 3, I thought they were they best graphics known to mankind.
2483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought a used version of this cartridge after seeing my 3-year old son being hooked with it during a visit to my sister's.
NamelessOne and his companions are characters that will stay with you forever. The graphics may seem a bit outdated nowadays (they are the same as the first BALDUR's GATE, they share the same engine, Infinity); however, true RPG gamers know that graphics are not a self-sustained aim.
1693 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 we have always been a fan of all the resident evil games we all love to play them and was very happy that the game was in great shape and that we got it fast when we ordered it
....
Great gameplay.
THE STORY: Quite simple really, Donkey's horde of bananas have been stolen once again by King K. Rool, ruler of the Kremling reptiles. He's also done the liberty of imprisoning all of the other Kongs in cells mapped around the game. The game introduces many new character like Lanky Kong and the banana fairies, along with some pretty whacked up levels. It's not really all that original, but it works.

Overall I give Sim Theme Park 2 stars, I gave the extra star because I probably would have liked it more if I got it before I got Rollercoaster Tycoon. Actually, this game is pretty good for all ages, it's just leaning a little more towards the younger kids, about I guess 6-12. If you want a game for older gamers, try Rollercoaster Tycoon. (I suggest that you just ditch the thought of buying a game about building amusement parks and get a game like The Sims or somehting).
For all the frustration, I had, I still can say I had a great time playing it.
7033 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great fps for the N64 and a true classic. Great weapons, it's tons of fun!

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have been kidnapped by a mysterious villain named KAOS so Dixie Kong enlists the help of her baby cousin, Kiddy Kong to help her in the rescue effort. DKC3 has all of the previous features from the first two games and adds more friendly animals, an all bear clan that populates the brand new world and stages, new items to collect,new enemies and a mini fetch quest for items that help you get to other parts of the world. There are plenty of secrets here so be sure to beat all the stages and find all the items to access the hidden world and hidden boss as well. The game has up to three slots to save your progress and it's done exactly like in the previous entries of the series.
Sound (6/10) - Similar to the first, the music in this one is average. It fits the game well, and each song does a good job representing each stage it's in, but the tunes were very unmemorable for me.
Pros:
- Each level is long and the boss is at the end of the level. Dying in the boss' hands means you have to start the whole level from the beginning
The objective of the game is relatively simple: free dragons, find treasure, and defeat Gnasty Gnorc. In order to free a dragon, Spyro just has to walk up to him, however, not all of the dragons are just located out in the open. Some got frozen in very unfortunate spots, making the journey a little more difficult than expected. There are a total of 80 dragons to free, with between 12 and 16 scattered through each world. There is also 14,000 gems worth of treasure. The gem values are as follows: Red=1, Green=2, Blue=5, Yellow=10, and Purple=25. These are the 2 main collectables of the game, but there are also dragon eggs. Thieves run around taunting Spyro about how they have an egg, which in retrospect isn't a very smart thing to do to a dragon. There are 12 eggs scattered throughout the first 3 worlds, while the last 3 worlds have the little rascals running around with treasure instead. All of this count towards 100% completion of the game, and the player needs a set amount in order to progress to each world.
Aside from those gripes I recommend this game whole heartedly. The sense of speed, the quirky tracks and colorful vehicles all make for an amusing game. It may not be as good as mario Kart 64; not by a long shot, but it's still well worth having in your library.
Basically this game is alomst exactly like the first Super Mario that was on Nintendo, but just shorter. If you liked that game, then give this one a try.
5080 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is quite amusing to see how many people bad mouth this game and how many people were actually spooked by this horrific game. Honestly, I was quite horrified by this game, Silent Hill. I did not purchase it when it first came out, but I saw the ad for it on the back of my Resident Evil manual and thought I would check this game out. Boy was I in for a surprise.
7600 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game.
Replay Value: 8/10
The outside scenery (this takes place during the worst storm NY has ever seen) is awesome. The snow falling all around, sirens in the background, wind whipping all around when you step outside, very nicely done. There were only 2 things I didn't like: They cut to a story board a little too often, & 2, the game was a little short. Other than that, this was clearly one of the most awesome games I have ever played. It had me hooked from the moment I started playing it. Too bad it didn't have on-line play available, but heres too hoping that they make a Max Payne 2 with that capability.
7428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic.
1720 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my uncle gave this to me for christmas. i didn't know what it was until i got a gamecube and bought resident evil 4. then i knew what this game was. i wasn't crazy about it when i first got it. then i got resident evil 2 and tried the uncut version.
One criticism of the game that is perfectly valid is that the zombie models only seem to have four varieties. Occasionally, different types will appear if certain conditions are met, such as not picking up any items during the trip to the police station, but for the most part, it is a rather generic bunch. Another problem is the save point system, which can make the quest seem repetitive at times if resumed. However, the fun of the game truly lies in revealing threads of the plot, which, while occasionally clich, is put together like an elegant series of Chinese boxes. Questions are raised constantly, and half the fun is in finding the answers. In a complete contrast to the second feature film, the motions and attacks of the enemy are completely consistent, and even make sense from a biological point of view. One other criticism I have that applies to all of the Resident Evil games I have played to date is that in so-called tense moments, when a mass-attack by zombies or other terrors begins, one can often tell when they have completely beaten off their opposition by when the background music calms down. Although I am not entirely sure that is a bad thing.
I still haven't finished (have finished Chapter 6 and off to Durlag's Tower next) but I'm still challenged. And for all those lamenting about the loss of turn-based combat - did they never find the PAUSE key (spacebar) which allows you to simulate it? The AI only really works with very weak opponents or to alert you to enemies while trekking through the beautifully rendered scenery. Luckily, I have a big enough hard disk to load the entire game, because the CD shuffle got really annoying very quickly.
So if you want a Genesis quality game for your SNES (you're nuts), then you can buy this. But what's the point? The SNES has much more eye-candy and easier to control fighting games out there. This is one of the least appealing SNES fighting games I've played. If you want some mindless button-mashing with no real depth and unrealistic amounts of gore, this game is for you. Incase you don't realise the difference in quality right away, play this first and then play Street Fighter II Turbo, Mortal Kombat or even TMNT: Tournament Fighters. You soon will.

Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time
The game isn't too hard, but it isn't so easy either. The gameplay is similar to the original Mario Bros. on the NES. Except that you can't tell which power up you've got. That could be a problem.
I played the demo; it was so appealing that I had to try out the full game. Playing the game was such a wonderful experience. I enjoyed every second of it. City building was a whole lot of fun especially when you can learn the opinions of citizens walking up and down the streets of your city. This kind of interaction helps a lot since you get to know what kind of changes need to be made in the infrastructure of the city to create more peaceful neighborhoods, which are the foundations of a healthy and crimeless city.
6684 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm being a bit generous giving it four stars. The game is... certainly a change of pace from other Mario games. However, if you can look past that (and the slippery controls while I'm at it) it's pretty good.
Mega Man blasts onto the PSX with his 8th adventure. Wily's back, and this time he's after two robots who battled endlessly before crashing on Earth. One of them is Duo, Mega Man's new ally, and he battles an evil energy that Wily wants to get his hands on. So far, this is the latest installment unless you count MegaMan & Bass (a.k.a. Rockman & Forte) as the 9th, although I personally call it Mega Man 8.5. Read on to see why this is a decent game:
Doom 64
In addition to the perfect synchronization of Link to the game controls (something newer games like Dark Souls could take a lesson on) the game play is interesting and varied. Although the main fighting style will be slashing it up with your sword, each monster has a unique weakness that you can take advantage of with a variety of weapons. Link not only totes a one-handed sword and shield, but he also get's access to a sling shot and deku seeds, boomerang, hook shot, bow and arrows, bombs, deku sticks, deku nuts, and two impressive two-handed weapons: a hammer and a sword. These weapons can all be used in different ways to different effects at various times in the games.
The story line was simple but cute like all Mario games.
I can't think of anything more to say than, if you haven't already played this game, you are missing out on one of the greatest games of all time.
7732 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This games does Star Wars justice! If you thought Star Wars for NES, Gameboy, and Gamegear was great, you ain't seen nuthin' yet! Awesome graphics, awesome music (complete with excellent renditions of the music from the film's original score), awesome sound effects, and unbelievably great gameplay. It's tough to decide which SNES Star Wars game (Super Star Wars, Super ESB, Super ROTJ) is best...I'd say Super Star Wars and Super ESB tied for #1, and Super ROTJ my least fave (even though it's great as well). Super Star Wars is super fun!
My only problem with this game is that it seems slightly rushed in development. There are elements in the story that seem as if they will be developed, and they just "go away". There is also a slight bug: If you save a game while carrying firefly coccoons and turn off the PlayStation, when you re-start, the special abilities and spells of the creatures in the firefly coccoons will be erased. (However, sometimes this works to your advantage for breeding.) Purified coccoons left with Mahbu are safe. The game has also crashed three times on my PS2 (twice when Levant is summoning the first Minion of a fight), but for 50+ hours of play, that isn't bad.
6423 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I stumbled upon this game about a year or two ago and I strongly recommend it even if you have never experienced a strategy type of game.
1274 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is my childhood mario game
And finally, if the single player wasn't engrossing enough, Multiplayer coop mode is excellent and quite enjoyable. You can party with as many as seven other people (though it does get crowded! ), and share experience points as you clean out the levels. All in all, Diablo II has enough replayablilty for the next three years of my gaming life.
there is only one thing i love about this game, and it is the ending. as i said before, the story is VERY good and is the only reason that i gave it 2 stars instead of 1. the ending is EXTREMELY good (not as good as FFVI's though) and made me feel good.
Easy to use map editor.
1432 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the launch titles for the N64 back in '96 Super Mario 64 had only a small band of rivals at the time. The most prominent being Star Wars Shadows of the Empire and Star Fox 64. The game has stood the test of time in several factors. One you can still find it brand new. Two the previous games mentioned are almost impossible to find unused! Three for a launch game the graphics were great, but they are not as good as late comer Banjo-Kazooie. The story line is interesting and the levels are big, but not as large as Banjo-Kazooie. You have to find 100 Power Stars that Bowser stole from Princess Peaches's castle, and if you get all 100 you can go to a cannon near the castle, hop inside, shoot onto the roof of the castle, meet Yoshi (Mario's dinosaur friend) who will give a super new jump and 100 lives! The games levels are challenging espicially the last few levels and the levels where you fave Bowser (you have to beat him three times) are DANGEROUS especially the last one. From the sea to land to desert to snow covered mountain and to the desert and beyond Mario must battle enemies in 3-d and collect six stars on every level. Five stars are attainable by completing tasks while the sixth is attainable when you collect 100 coins on a level. The music is hummable and the characters are nice and mean. This is still Marios biggest adventure and with the coming of the Gamecube and the fall in price for the Nintendo 64 and its games, Super Mario 64 is a must have. I've had my 64 since Christmas '97 and also received Super Mario 64 which is still a GREAT game!
For the modern viewer, I would say this game is a cross between the boiler room/rusty dungeon dream world of Freddy Kruger in Nightmare On Elmstreet mixed with The Myst --- by Stephen King.
A vast, sprawling game that does yield some rewards for die-hard fans, RE 3 is not a good way to introduce yourself to the series because of its unforgiving difficulty. The storyline may also confuse newcomers. If you're a fan who doesn't mind being confused and frustrated, then check it out. If not, wait for something better, like Code: Veronica, or anything in the Silent Hill series.
8789 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 took me forever to find this game in good condition and it immediately brought back childhood memories the first time i put it in the console. I forgot how hard this game was, I never beat it as a 6 year old and i still cant beat it as a 21 year old. Grab a friend and co-op till ya drop! Thanks!
1898 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game. The characters are cute, they make great noises, and there are lots of worlds to explore. It's really hard to die too, so you could concievably play without a memory card. What I don't like about it is that Spyro is a little hard to control compared to today's games, and a lot of parts are highly frustrating. Thieves have stolen a bunch of dragon eggs and you have to chase them down and get the eggs back, but this is MUCH easier said than done. I have spent hours chasing these guys on some levels. I mean, I wouldn't want the game to be too easy, but this is borderline ridiculous. But it's still a really great game and I absolutely fell in love with it. I'd recomend it to people who love cute things and have infinite patience.
Later...
Hardware: Plain an simple, you must have an accelerator card to play this game. The graphics do not look nearly as good with only software rendering. Besides you get to see more of the blood that way. Also the higher resolutions can quickly chew on the memory card so it's best to have a computer with a fast cpu. IF you have a computer lower than 300 Mhz, don't expect the card to make up the difference. The sound in this game is very good. Each gun has it's own firing sound which seperates it from its bretheren and the music, that rockish techno beat stuff can really get your heart pumping. But it get's even crazier when you turn it off. Recommend that you have a good sound card if you want to hear all the bells and whistles.
7671 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 And that's being generous. I've never played a more lifeless, dull RPG. The dialogue comes off as if it was written by an autistic elementary schooler. I understand the sequel is supposed to be much better, but... I'm afraid I've been scared off for good.
Luckily, despite being a game that's nearly 20 years old, the focus on exploration was included hard and heavy. However, the way the game is designed (without spoiling anything) it's more like you're exploring certain areas of the planet before moving on to *other* areas. That's how the game plays. Still, a strong emphasis on exploration was in fact implemented.
2917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the greatest game of all time. They also just put this on playstation 4 on psn since they're making the remake (which I can't wait for!!!) and I am reliving all the memories as I type this. What's great is that there's been trophies added to the mix so it's even more of a reason to revisit this amazing game. They just don't make games like this anymore.
- Perfect mix of epic game characters in one game.
The music is rather bland, if suitable for the atmosphere. There are dark overtones here with an emphasis on the instrumental side of music. The desert flutes and jungle drums are nice, but the dungeons could have used a little more flair. The monster sounds are amusing, and the voice acting is top notch, as can be expected from Blizzard. The cinematic FMV's (full motion videos) that play between the conclusion of each Act are nothing short of stunning, and truly blew me away. Blizzard set their bar with "Starcraft" and then jumped it themselves with the new standard of cutscenes in "Diablo II".
I put in an old Stooges CD called Fun House that's almost unplayable on other CD players, but it works brilliantly in the PS1. Honestly, the music CDs work a lot better in the PS1 than they do in an actual Sony CD player! I had a couple Sony CD players that never played the discs right so in the trash without hesitation THOSE CD players went.
7938 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I will start off by saying this game is definitely not for everyone.
6039 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 with this memery card i could back up my memery saves because my brother loves to delete it i also used it to get extra cards in yugioh using the memery trick
The graphics are excellent. The story is original. It speaks about a genetically engineered dog, named Crash, that resembles human beings. This genetic procedure was done by Dr Cortex (or more precisely by his degraded assistant). Then Dr Cortex goes on the produce a new female version of this Crash. Of course crash falls in love with her. Dr Cortex, being a wicked soul, parts between the two and then Crash needs to go through so many obstacles to reach his lover.
5654 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everyone else may love FF7 but my first final fantasy was eight and boy did it suprise me the first time I played it. The CGI Cutscenes are some of the most incredible in that ERA of 3D almost close to modern standards. The story was quite interesting as you find out your past and the past of the people around you the future becomes more and more interesting. I was super happy when I found out I could get a new copy of it from amazon for only 15 bucks what a deal for a game that's as old as it is.
588 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 star wars rogue squadron is hands down the best n64 game ever made get this game even if you're not a star wars fan you won't regret it
Overall, great game, 9.5/10 rating
What does it all mean: If you have all the rambo movies, love continuous action, are a gun freak, and just love action games, there is none better. If you're looking for replay and multiplayer value, stick to Half-Life and Unreal Tournament.
Product Description
Overall, it's a really good fighting game that shouldn't be ignored. Even without the blood.
4781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's nice that all these great games for the original Playstation are being rereleased, especially for Castlevania fans. That's because Symphony of the Night, not only one of the best Castlevania games but also arguably one of the best for the PSX is one of the games being rereleased. Look up any review for the game from websites and magazines and you'll see nothing but praise for this classic. At [amt] from Amazon, how can you lose. Get this game.
2878 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Command and Conquer is the greatest strategy game I've seen for N64. This game allows you to plan and strategize as the action happens, unlike other slow, methodical, and totally boring strategy games.
5052 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I don't know what everyone else sees in this game and why they consider it so addicting and cool, it, like Quake 3 is just mindless shooting only leaving you angry. Everyone in the UT community rocket jumps, a cheap way of getting a quick kill, and very annoying at the same time. This game is plagued with rocket jumping! There are alot of things I hate about this game, too many to list here anyway.
The customizable nature of this game is also very exciting, with many different character 'jobs' you can choose from, all with a set of different abilities you have to gain experience for and learn.
Overall, the beauty of this game is that is is deep, yet easy to learn. It is fun, but not "arcade-like". There is strategy, but it is tempered with action.
But it is not a computer game. To make that tension thick the designers chose to create save points and sometimes painful camera angles. It is too easy to run through the game if you can save just before every door. Instead, you'll fling the controller across the room because you got jumped by a zombie dog and hashed to shreds, leaving you farther back in the game. It just makes keeping alive a little more important (as a note, though the "print cartriges" required to save seem scarce, they are really almost too common)
Music:3/5
1) Great single player storyline and plot with good cinimatics in between missions.
Answer? Yes it does. Even after five years, Super Mario 64 is still one of the most beautiful games for Nintendo's crowning glory (speaking from a fanboy's POV.) The character and tree designs are very outdated by today's standards, but the water is still lovely (though surpassed) and some of the brick and stone backgrounds still are the most realistic that I have ever seen. Today the graphics would get a C by reviewers, but back in 1996, this game would get an A+.

2618 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It brings me back to when I was a kid and lives up to how it was in the 90s.
Sound/Music- 10/10 The music, also, is quite similar to Goldeneye. It has the same unique sound to it, and every track suits the level. The music in Perfect Dark has much more of a techno-esque sound, though. The music in Goldeneye set the mood quite well, and so does Perfect Darks, except now it is much more noticeable and louder. The sound effects are great (especially the reaper), and the guns sound realistic. There are some voice-over moments that are laughable, but that's about it.
7399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For a game that was released in '96, those graphics are pretty [darn] good. The physics are real, and the control is tight, making it feel like you're actually racing a jet ski. Best race of all-time, until it's sequel comes out on the Dolphin system.
6031 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Half-Life: Opposing Force is the expansion pack for Half Life, But not by the creators of the orginal game Valve but by another company called Gearbox. To install this game you must have the orginal game half life installed on your system. You don't play Gorden Freeman here, You play Adrian Shephard a 22 year old marine sent to the black mesa to deal with the aliens and Gordon Freeman, He and his men crash into the black mesa and they are rescued by the scientists, Now he must fight his way out of the black mesa with the help of other marines, But unfortunatly the aliens are not the only ones he needs to deal with, The goverment has sent black dressed assasins to kill all the marine's, He needs to deal with them too, You could see gorden freeman too. The Level design is good but nothing compared to the superlative half-life level design which has an infinte replay value. While half-life started and ended on a tram, Opposing Force starts and ends on a helicopter with the same ending.
What general could ask for more - a way to coordinate large groups of troops easily, plus the ability to see the action from a soldier's point of view. It's great!
2718 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own the boxed collection and the hard bound strategy guide. Marvelous! Truly a collectors item. I cannot go into great detail, about the game, since it has been awhile that I have played it. I will say that both this and the first one, Lunar Star Silver Story Complete, were great RPG's for the PSX.(I am an RPG HOUND)The graphics are nice for the time and the music lovely! Gameplay is fluid, interesting, addictive and challenging at parts. There are also some puzzles to be solved. A very fun and versatile RPG with a deep story that will haunt you long after you have completed the game. VERY rare but worth considering for your collection and enjoyment. You will not be disappointed. Do NOT miss this one!(I suggest you also play the first one mentioned above.) Although I have not played both in awhile they left a lasting impression, for me, in my RPG history as having been a great experience in game playing.
1728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Played this as a kid and wanted to play it again so I got it and it works great and plays well!
I'll start with the good points. The graphics are stunningly amazing. The animation of the characters is fluid and weapons are superbly done. The lighting greatly enhances the dark and sinister atmosphere. I kept going in many places because I wanted to see what area I would visit next. The camera control is also very smooth and easy to manipulate with the mouse. The gameplay is actually fun for the first bit of the game while you are adventuring by yourself and with one other party member. The source material and the manual add a lot to this game. Wandering around towns and seeing people milling about made it feel alive. And it was always oh so fun to feed upon someone to refill your blood level.
4846 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game.
As the game continues, you realise that the baddies have an unfair advantage over you, and you will end up running past the majority of them. The satisfaction of knowing a Zombie is cornered just isn't there anymore. You also miss out on some beautiful backdrops and vitally important clues becuase you're too busy avoiding some ridiculously over-populated area.
7341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works good
As far as fun/gameplay/story/graphics/sound/replay is concerned, it's a safe bet to say that i will give every category at least 9.5 out of 10.
I love calling Cambell(who is a great character) on the codec to see what he has to say. It always seems to be different and intellectual. He can also give you hints, and the other characters on your codec play major roles.
There are two things about Metal Gear Solid VR Missions that can cause some alarm, though. The first being that many missions are fairly short, meaning that this game only really serves as an expansion of Metal Gear Solid. It's a mystery why Konami didn't just start packing it in with the original game after a while. It never really happened. The second huge problem is that the game advertises that it has 300 missions. What they don't mention is that many of those missions are the same. You'll undergo one mission and then be expected to do it again in a Time Attack. To the developers this serves as two different missions, but it's the same mission. The only difference is that you'll be doing it with an additional challenge.

Cons:

3218 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Soul Calibur is one of the best games that I have ever played on any game console. Mitsurugi is my favorite character but there are several characters that I like in the game. The graphics are very impressive, second only to Dead or Alive 2 as far as fighting games are concerned. But what makes this game one of the best fighting games on any system is that it is the most sophisticated fighting game that is out now. You have arcade, team battle, time attack, survival, extra survival, practice, mission battle mode, exhibition mode, battle theater mode, art gallery mode, profile mode, several different extra characters, and tons of other stuff. The Mission battle mode along has several different ways to play the game which will add interest to playing the game for a very long time. First you have to earn most of the secrets in the game by beating the mission battle mode and then after you beat it(very long and challenging), you can still play it again. Anybody that has a Dreamcast and likes fighting games should definitely get this game.
8591 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's spot on and one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever used. Sega knew how to make hardware. I wish they'd give it another shot; if they've learned their past lessons, they'd be a juggernaut in the console market.
- Challenging but entertaining races
The music is creepy too, and really helps set the mood. This is actually a scary game to play.
STORY: 9/10
5) Build many kinds of ships, each having their own strenths and abilities.
Storyline:5/5
8692 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Clearly, this game was released before it was properly tested so that it could make it for the holiday. The game is LOADED with bugs. That's not bad though because this game is FUN.
864 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 classic, check your basement and attic first though
Bottom Line: A delightful place to adventure, loaded with crazy characters and some fun, wacky puzzles. You need not have played any previous Zork games in order to have a grand time with this one.
But it still isn't as bad as everyone says. It's just different. I personally enjoy the junction system, and the music is fantastic. I also enjoy the fact that there are many different types of enemies. There are a lot of excellent elements to FFVIII that Square neglected in its following games, the foremost one being that enemies level up along with your party, providing more challenge. The summons were done well, although they were a little too intristic to your characters. It took me hours of pondering stats and abilities to decide exactly who to junction with what GFs and magic.
7242 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The background is cool the color's pop up at you. The plant's the tree's and bushes look's great. The Kong's are great to. You get to have power's and gun's and you get to play music in the game.
This game won't be hard for people who are very good at action games because I completed it in 5 to 7 days(I was 11 in 2001).
Very strategic and definitly fun to play with friends on network LAN or the internet. This is definitly a must-buy if you're a 1st Person fan.
You don't have a huge number of weapons to choose from but what you have is fantastic and you'll find yourself using one of the sniper rifles or the M4 machine gun which has a grenade launcher. You won't use your hand gun much and you have the choice of delayed or frag grenades. Satchels are available for blowing up large things like those SAM sites and you can use extra ammo or a vest as one of your options. Because methodical, longer range warfare is the order you have a really nice alternative to games like rainbow and half life were most of your action is confined to a small space. It's the pace of the game that i really like and it's a blast to pick off some terrorist from 300 meters away.
The only real problem with VIII is its storyline. While good in many, many areas, some of it seems rather drained or slowpaced, but the game makes up for it in it's graphical department and beautiful characters. No other lineup in the FF series has had so much variety in cast as 8 has.

3282 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Every part of this game has been permanently burned into the recesses of my brain. Maybe not the specifics of plot or location, only the fear, that sheer terror I had from beginning to end. This is what video games are all about - the ability to step inside a movie or novel and live those incredible moments as if they were your own. I forgot I was sitting safely in my house, my life was on that screen.
BUY IT RIGHT NOW!
STP's free rotation and zoom would be welcome here, but RCT provides myriad different views by allowing you to hide different features of the park and terrain. In fact, the depth of various RCT tools are amazing, some of which I was surprised were left out of STP (which was released after). In fact, I find myself hesitant to state that there are tools missing from RCT because I've found so many of them after thinking "I wish the game gave me a way to....".
Tomb Raider II offers significant improvements over the original, and its game play exceeds the other games that follow in the series. The game has drastically overhauled weapons and artificial intelligence. Though the puzzles are not as hard as later versions, they still are quite difficult. Lara has new moves, many new weapons, and more dangerous foes. What more could a Tomb Raider fan - or even the casual gamer - ask for?
This isn't the best Spyro game but it is among the top three. The other two are the two that followed this one. Insomniac knew how to make these games and I wish they'd make any others that come out because frankly, Universal, Vivendi, etc. ruined this series for me.
2712 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For whatever reason this game has been inflated to nearly $150. I've played it on the PSP, and the story was great, the characters were great, etc. In fact, even given that it was to all critics of the PSP version, a "dumbed down" abridged version, it was still among the best games I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the PSP has some loading flaws, and it froze on the Puffy Bugs hunt. Meaning I couldn't finish.
6931 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Wow
3975 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Sure it was fun for the first hour then it died. I could never get the kids to stop vandalism. Riding the rollercoasters weren't fun at all. You want a theme park game get Rollercoaster tycoon. Rollercoaster tycoon not Rollercoaster tycoon 2, but I won't get into that. Where can I get a refund....?
Storyline: 2 of 10
You play as Pitfall Harry Jr., who sets out to look for his dad through ancient buildings and jungles. This isn't any Pitfall game, though. It is an action game with throwing small objects (rocks?) and bombs, and whipping your foes as you go find an exit that leads to the next level. This calls for awesome battles with bosses and a solid platforming experience.
3901 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games I've ever played, it's the only PC game I have that is online.
I was crushed when I heard that Sega was pulling the plug and abandoning the Dreamcast. The best console with the best games was on the way out and it didn't seem right. It didn't make sense. It was immensely popular, had one of the best launches in console history and it's sports games were flourishing even without EA's support. It still stings the memory like your favorite team losing the championship.
As old as this game is, we love it!
6766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Recently bought a Sega Genesis atgames classic game console and loved playing the lion king as a child. Still as challenging as I remember.
5969 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I picked this game up in the summer of 2000, I wasn't really into RPGs. I'm still not into the pure ones, but this game gave me some respect for them. Diablo II is fun, easy to learn, challenging and has great multiplayer. Many have criticized its graphics. I wasn't really bothered by the simple graphics. I especially appreciate the fact that with better graphics, the game would be too large to install on most typical hard drives. The only big flaws are:
every once in a while (when I can get the SNES to work properly)
3) Still FUN. I never, ever play old games--this is probably the first. I always play the newest stuff, but this mindless button smash fest is still fun even to this day. The game is simple, easy to pick up and play for 15 minutes (or 90), it just works. Heck, they were still patching it until March of 2010!
Overall: Well, not perfect but Max Payne 2 will probably be twice as good! 9.5/10
This was originally released on the Dreamcast and originally intended to be the third of the Resident Evil series. However, that went to what we now know as the excellent Nemesis game for playstation.
All in all, it showcases the N64 incredible 3D graphics and the sound isn't half bad.
7039 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 the graphics is pretty good on this game, but the game play sucks. it's not worth your money.
But I will never agree that the plotline of Metal Gear Solid is stupid, slow, or senseless. As a matter of fact, I don't think there is a better story. Of all the movies I've watched, books I've read, and games I've played, I've never expierienced anything like Metal Gear Solid's storyline. Twists, turns, shocks, and surprises are all through it. Sure, there is a lot of watching, but it's worth it in my humble opinion.
4130 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I ordered the wrong one. I downloaded and went to play it, I got as far as single player and when I clicked on it, it wouldn't start so that's the reason I couldn't play it. Gave it to a friend.
What do you do?
The Downs: The story breaks down towards the end and it gets just a little monotonous by the time you're done.
9031 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is definitely hands down one of the greatest video games to ever be released.
Not much is wrong with 'Thief' - even the between-level FMV sequences are excellently done. Compared to something like 'Half-Life', the graphics are relatively primative, but the engine is doing a lot more. Often the hugeness of the levels makes working your way through the game seem impossible at time, and although your character is a thief it would be nice if he was at least competent with the sword. Apart from that, buy it.
GAMEPLAY: 10/10 Awesome! you're in a mansion with zombies and lots of monters (literally) and you've got a lot of weapons!
-great a.i.
2854 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best! 4 people OR 4 DukeBots (computer controlled multiplayer opponents, hella cool) to challenge in multiplayer, each higher difficulty meaning more bodies flying in the air(you can have ppl and dukebots play at the same time), 2 player co-op, and one heck of a single player experiance. Who wouldn't want to save babes while bustin in a movie theater shooting alien scum all over the place? Pig cop with a shotgun? Introduce him, to your grenade launcher, BattleLord giving you a hard time??? throw him a pipe bomb party! Your options of fighting opponents are endless with dukes arsenal of guns ranging from shotguns, sub machine guns, grenade launchers, missle launchers all the way to trip mines(great in multiplayer), and shrink guns which allows you to shrink your opponents and crush like a bug with your 15 size boot. The guns are the best yet in an fps. The gameplay is hot as well, your environment is your playground, use toilets, blow up toilets, bust open a movie screen in the theatres, discover cool secrets by blowing open walls, PLAY POOL, the list goes on. Bust open aliens as you make your way saving babes, searching for key cards, finding hot new weapons, and having one helluva time. Do you have what it takes to save earth from aliens, can duke save his babes before aliens use them for mass production (weird, I know), always bet on Duke. Are you bored of my review and eager to get this game??? STOP READING THE THING AND GET DUKE NUKEM 64!!
This game does the job of continuing the greatness of the first one and building on it.
You control several different Yoshis on a quest to get baby Luigi back after he was separated from Mario. You can eat enemies to turn them into eggs, which you can then throw to kill them. The rest of the gameplay is generally a twist on classic Mario gameplay, though there is more a puzzle aspect to it as well.
9336 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so dumb that it is fun if you love bevis and butt-head you have to get this then.
6880 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Dr. Mario is also available on the NES and N64. I am not sure if you can download this off the Wii virtual console. This game is alot like tetris but with pills. The objective of the game is to kill off virus bugs in each level. How you do that is match the color of each virus albeit black, gray or white. I first played this game in the early 90's on an original game boy. I now play the game on an Gameboy Advance SP so the game plays in color as default on the system. If you are into the original Tetris games then you will enjoy this one.
Most areas are easy to complete, especially the first ones. Some areas are quite difficult, especially a mini-castle high on a mountain, thankfully you CAN avoid it, because I hate going to that place. As a matter of fact, if you find a secret star area, you can cheat yourself to Bowsers palace early in the game. And getting throgh his castle, if you use the correct doors, is a piece of cake. Bowser does annoy you a bit, but I beat him the second time.
My only disappointment is the lack of updates. The game is so outdated now that it will no longer run on my PC, because of Windows XP being installed.
5569 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't let the title confuse you, Mortal Kombat Gold is essentially Mortal Kombat 4 with a couple of subtle new features. The main difference between Mortal Kombat Gold and the previous Mortal Kombat games is that it's done with 3D polygonal graphics. The gameplay remains relatively the same, except now each character has their own weapon which can be drawn. The only other major difference is that Midway decided to exclude the button tap combos from this version. You have the ability to perform basic button tap combos, but they are short (only about 3-5 hits) and have little variation between each character. Most of the old Mortal Kombat favorites are back in some form or another...Lui Kang, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Cyrax, Katana, ect., plus several new characters as well. Fatalities have also returned and as one might expect, and they are as gruesome as ever presented in the 3rd dimension. The only real fault in Mortal Kombat Gold is the same one that has plagued the series from the beginning...the shallow gameplay compared to other fighting games, and the horribly [bad] AI in the one player mode. Even with the shiny new 3D graphics and weapons, Mortal Kombat 4/Gold is still at it's heart just Mortal Kombat 3. If you have become tired of the same old Mortal Kombat formula over the years, you can pass up Mortal Kombat Gold and not miss much. If you still love Mortal Kombat and are looking for a new way to play and rip your opponents to shreds, by all means this is your game.
how the supposed "righteous" forces of this game are in fact sinister and corrupt. It is absolutely necessary to play and beat Blood Omen in order to fully enjoy Soul Reaver and to understand the massive plot twists of Soul Reaver 2. This game is a must have!

1155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quite possibly, if you don't know why then you haven't played many videogames ;-)
It's very hard to find this game nowadays, but it is worth playing. In the late 1990's, Konami's Suikoden 1 and Suikoden 2 were overshadowed by Square's releases of Final Fantasy 7,8, and 9, but these really were great games that never received the attention they deserved.
The storyline is horribly written in the game. For example: "I'm so mad that I can't see where I'm going!" However, you'd just skip the storyline cutscenes anyway. What? We've all done it.
This game is absolutely spectacular in every way. Yes, I do feel that it could benefit from maybe a higher difficulty level and there is also the fact that it's possible to clinch a Gold medal in a circuit (4 races) after finishing in the top spot in each of the first three races. However, other than these minor spots, I find it to be flawless. Everything from the graphics to the sound to the features are great. There is also a great amount of multiplayer available in this, with not only the up to four player split-screen, but the track ghosts as well. Track ghosts are saved data of your best race (single player only) on a course. The game saves not only your time but your entire race. When you race against your ghost, you can actually compare yourself second-by-second on the tracks and this also helps you to analyze spots and what you did to help you become a better racer.
8995 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game came out on the brink of the 32-64 bit era at the end of 1994 and will always be remembered as the Super Nintendo's last answer to being overshadowed by 3D consoles. The graphics were state of the art side scrolling 3D rendered brilliance for the time they were released and incredible for the system they were respective to and are still capable today of the same awe they were 18 years ago.
6979 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like it.
4946 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I ordered this game a few months ago and my son beat this game in one hour. This is not the game for you if you are over the age of 5. The game would just be too easy. If you have a son or daughter under 5 years, they might like it.
3514 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when the Sega Dreamcast was released, everybody thought of it as this mythical system, that would take gaming to a whole new level. When released it had great games, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, NFL 2K and such on.
This game is the king of real time strategy games even still.
Another improvement is that thematically it returned to actual "tomb raiding" as you spend most of your time in ancient tombs. Two thumbs up for this game. And for the cliffhanger ending as well! If you only own 2 Tomb Raider games for the Playstation I would recommend 2 and this one.
a) Detailed Graphics b) Clear sound c) A good adventure game
4429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...and here's THREE REASONS WHY:
*SPOILER OVER*
8711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You're Samus Aran on your third (and best) video game adventure as you return to the ruins of planet Zebes. A side-scroller second only to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Super Metroid can blast with the best of'em, with 7 massive areas, 5 different weapons, a grappling beam, x-ray vision (no, you cannot peak through her armor!), a swirly-swirl attack that enables Samus to soar through the air, a jumping ball-curl, tons of well-detailed underling anemies, and several excellently-detailed boss enemies. . . are you still with me? You go all the way from the surface of Zebes, through an abandoned space station and dark tunnels and lots of water, to the extremely hot pits of the planets core, where you fight the infamous Mother Brain. I'm not giving anything else away though. You have to play this plastic little gem yourself.
So far I am really enjoying it
4716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have to admit I have never played the pen and paper version of D&D, but be that as it may, I still found this game to be a very enjoyable, humorous, exciting and interesting RPG adventure. I have been playing RPG games for a long time now, and I can say that this game hands down is in the top ten I have ever played. And if you get the expansion pack that is also available, it will be even better!
2) Game System: Gabriel Knight goes to 3D in the most original and playable way you can imagine. All landscapes, interiers, persons and objects are beautifully modelled and animated in real-time. Moreover, you can place your view camera anywhere to see every detail you want. It means that you can explore all objects in your current scene without moving Gabriel or Grace which pushes the playability even higher. In non-interactive animations the camera automatically finds the best location. What more could you want?
Also, Ive had no problem with the Expansion Pak, either with installation or operation. Its just a memory chip & while its vital to the operation of the game/system it isn't what I would call a "working part" thats going to damage anything. Im not saying it couldnt, just that its probably no more likely than a part you might buy directly from Nintendo.
6095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item as described. A pleasure to do business with! !!
9899 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember getting this for genesis and popping it in-this game that uses leftovers from Sonic 3. The graphics were good,the Level Design chalenging,and Lock-On patch for Sonic 2&3 a great idea. TO me,this is the last great Sonic game before Sonic turned into a 5 year olds game.
1246 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THQ's second American release is a huge leap in graphics from the original "World Tour" Dozens of wrestlers from the NW0, WCW, Raven's Flock, cruiserweights, heavyweights and some of which are made up for the game. The great thing about this game is it was back in WCW's hay-day when it had talented wrestlers, like Jericho, Benoit, Malenko and Raven, more talent means more moves, more moves means more fun. The only real modes other than battle royals, and handicapped matches are a series of championship tournaments to go through in a specific weight / talent class. There are incredible looking arenas even with an isle to brawl in and weapons that you can pull from the crowd and bring into the ring. The unfortunate part about this game is that it is dated, and it moves very slowly compared to Wrestlemania2000 and No Mercy.
And there are so many secrets and cool things to find, this quickly becomes the main joy of playing the game. And once you find everything, there is still a ton of ways things to find that will power up your character. Some are obvious, some really hidden. So my advice is to explore as much as you can. I would also say its okay to look at a strategy guide now and then, as some things I completely missed just using my brain. If you don't buy a copy with the manual, I highly suggest you track it down online in PDF format, or you will miss a lot. Read it front to cover.

"But enough talk... HAVE AT YOU!"
STORYLINE: This is where the game could use a little help. For one, the translation has speling errors, wordssmashed together punctuation problems, and sometimes I just don't understand what is going on. Materia-like crystals play a vital role. One thing that I found amusing was that nearly every between-battles sequence involves a death. To me, the storyline is just a peripheral. If you understand it, fine. If not, fine. You're here to fight battles and listen to the music, mostly.
-lots of diverse weapons
Still, if you only intend to use this thing on a Windows machine, and if you're right handed, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better joystick.
Rogue
I usually pick Nancy or Coach. Even Jam sometimes. But I usually stick with the Trick boards.
3) Sound: The music for Final Fantasy Tactics is broad in scope and style. The soundtrack takes up 2 cds and to listen to all of the tracks separate from the game amazes with the shear quantity and quality of every song. They range from epic to intimate and are all memorable. Once again, the replayability is bolstered... This time by the excellent soundtrack.
Wrapping up this review I can say that Resident Evil 3 is not only the best of the series but it is also one of the best PSX titles out there today along with the top quality titles like Final Fantasy 8, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Syphon Filter.
Watch Out Below!
When Riven came out, I initially brushed it off harking back to my Myst experience. Good reviews and in game screenshots of these lavish environments and devices made me want to try it, and I was not disappointed.
709 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic game for a classic system. This game can still be sited as the best Zelda game of all time by some, and if it's not the best Zelda game period, it's definitely a top contender for the best 3D Zelda game. A must-play for N64 owners. My copy was delivered as described.
Original Pokemon, ahhhhh, ahhhh???
You still collect gems in this game, but the mandatory ones are the crystals mentioned before in each level, which are easy to obtain. You still will receive a box gem for destroying every box (even the new Nitro boxes which should not be touched until you reach the green ! switch), except you can use up as many extra lives as you want and still get the gem as long as each box is destroyed. The color gems still serve the same purpose, even though there are only 5. The gems are more challenging to get and will still give you a reason to keep playing.
VC. A cart costs $33.00, depending on condition, the WII VC download is $8.00, so that's a no brainer right there.
Enemies: There is a large variety of enemies (most enemies are really treasure that have been turned into minions for Gnasty Gnorc). Most can be killed by ramming or flaming, though some are armored and can only be hurt by flaming and not by ramming or visa versa. Some boss enemies, however, require special battle tactics.
6933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is on fire!
The Bad: Abysmal combat, terrible control, extremely slow pace, laughable voice acting

3972 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has a lot of sentimental value to me. I was about 14 at the time of purchase (2000). Really enjoyed unlocking the various islands in the game and building them out with seemingly endless possibilities.
3029 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here in lies the greatest RPG even after nearly a decade. Not like anything you'll every come across. With memorable characters, phenomenal gameplay, and a story that will leave you hanging on to your seats, this game is for everyone whether you love RPGs or if you hate them for it you hate them I assure you this one will quickly make you think twice.

137 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The movers packed my Wii cables in a separate box so I couldn't find them. I ordered this as it would be quicker and I wasn't disappointed. It is inexpensive and it works. I did have my Wii setup manual so it was no problem to get up and running right away. Sometimes you get what you pay for, and sometimes it is better.
5444 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game. Just replaced it w/ an old one that I had. To many scraches on the old one. Just love it so much I will replace it again once the new one is worn out.
2223 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MY N64 restarted for no reason every now and again and the Xpack fixed that. Totally worth owning if you own any of the later N64 titles.
All the western humor in this game is simply classic. It's a shame that this game will probably never see a re-release.
you are able to rest, supply your team, and change out your team members.
Other reviewers might have you believe this game rips off the others, but nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, they all share similarities, but Killer Instinct was the first to develop this complex combo system, consisting of linkers, auto-doubles and enders, not to mention the ULTRA combo. To me the ULTRA is the greatest concept of all-time as far as fighting games are concerned. It is a move performed at the end of a combo that adds many more hits to give a great-looking combo to finish off your opponent. There are also combo breakers to stop your opponent from performing a combo on you. So by now you should be able to understand that this game takes a LOT of practice to get good at. Learning the combo theory, mastering each character's moves and getting comfortable with each character's style is hard work, but with enough practice will be rewarding once you know your stuff. There are 8 great characters to choose from, each with their own background level, and depending on the location you can knock your opponent off of buildings. It has pretty decent music to boot, giving a great game experience--in my opinion one of the best games you could own for the Super NES. So if you are a fan of fighting games or own a Super NES, try this one out. You can find it for very cheap these days, so it is definately worth picking up if you see it around. You will either hate this game and never want to play it again, or you will be hooked instantly and develop an addiction to the style this game presents.
The game does take some strategy and you have to be very quick in several parts of the game. It is in the same spirit of the Mario 64 game but not as polished or well refined. The camera angles do make it hard to maneuver Croc in some parts of the game which add to the challenge. The replay value is pretty high. I spent a lot of time playing this game trying to get the 100 percent to make it to the true boss of the game. It provided hours of fun as well as a lot of frustration but overall it was a very rewarding experience. The game should be fairly cheap now, the game had a battery pack save feature which saved your progress on the memory card. If your looking for something a little bit different than Mario this is a nice game to try out.
The game was so gripping that I just had to go and fill in my yearly tax return instead. Don't buy the hype.. buy a decent game instead.
Speaking of items, they are the most important thing in determining how powerful your character is. I've had characters that would be awesome (meaning they had the right skills and stat points) but they turned out awfully because of my lack of good items. Therefore, trading with other players to get what you want is very important. This is accomplished by one player going up to the other (in a town area, where no fighting can happen) and clicking on them. Then it will give them a message asking if they want to trade, and if they do then a screen will come up where you can both place items in. When you're done putting your stuff down, then you press the little check mark (accept) button, and when you both press it, the trade will go through. This system is great, since there is no way someone can cheat you out of something (unless of course you don't know what you're trading for, or what you have is worth; then they can obviously rip you off, but it will never be because of the trading system).
For fans of the film, this is a must buy. For adventure gamers it is a game you will keep and play again and again.
There's a lot of places to visit, lots of bosses to defeat.
and Kn'Thrak, a time of great darkness,
Another form of gameplay you get to do as a decker is jacking into the matrix. What that basically means is a virtual reality type Internet. The world looks like something from Tron and you go around with a silver persona of yourself zapping or sneaking past intrusion countermeasures as you steal data from computer systems. Gameplay is about the same as other combat modes in that you press a lot of buttons with the exception of a little more tactical planning in picking your programs to fight with.
Now my only question is... when will this game be given a second chance in the gaming rinc for some nextgen revamp?!
2136 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works good
Strategy. There is actual thought and timing required to win, whether it's scouting with a light, jump-able 'Mech with long range radar or just rolling through en masse, or burning your way through a forest to avoid bad guys. This is pure combat, no resource gathering and such like most RTS games where the economics are far more important in determining the winner than military might. Don't get me wrong, I love the economic side of RTS games, but MechCommander is a nice departure from that. Also, the look of the game is terrific. It's nice to look at. This game is two-dimensional with an isometric view. The second MechCommander is three-dimensional and looks like crud. Rise of Nations, while it has some three-dimensional elements, is two-dimesional and isometric. Please let that be the trend. Even Warcraft III, while three-dimensional, keeps a steady, non-rotating view of the landscape. This is the correct way to do it. The sound is pretty good, although you do get tired of hearing the same messages of acknowledgement and the fact that the MechWarriors have something on their radar. You kind of get used to it and ignore it. At least the voices are all different so you can usually distinguish who's talking.
Ness-Beat the game on normal with only 3 lives, without getting any game overs.
The control is very similar to Resident Evil's. You have to hold the up button and move using the right and left buttons. Since games with this type of control scheme don't come too often, I had a hard time adjusting to the movement and layout of the control, but you RE freaks should get acquainted in no time. It took me a good half hour to get used to the controls fully, but once that task is done all is fine.
1761 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Since last night I've been waiting to do this review, because I've been studying the exact differences from RE2 and RE Directors Cut. This review will really help for someone who has played RE2 but is wondering what RE DC is about. Well, you've came to the right place. First of all, here are the facts:
The only reason why I gave the game 4 stars was because of certain control issues it had. They really hindered my enjoyment getting into the game at times.
8297 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite snes titles. It is a true sequel to Mega Man classic. Spark Mandrill has best theme.
4388 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great, and it is a great game overall in order for LucasArts to strike back at Eidos's Tomb Raider for trying to take away Indy's title of the greatest adventure dude out there. The game is one of the best I have played, but if you do the wrong thing, the game crashes. MOST of these problems can be fixed by downloading patches at lucasarts.com, but I really hate the hassle this causes. Make sure you know how to get a patch if you get this game.
2865 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love this alien killing game. like every game they got there easy then there harder areas. from 1 to 10 a 10 i will say a great n64. you may not be able to tell what he is standing on well that is the aliens he killed.
Challenge:;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
3267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Simply put, Code Veronica is the best in the series. After RE2 I didn't think the series could get any better but I was wrong. CV had an amazing graphics and a superb camera system. The story was HUGE and awesome so this was the most time consuming RE at the time. I think the remake of RE on the Gamecube is longer (and 10 times scarier than the PSX version). If you have a Gamecube or DC and love adventure/action/horror games than Code Veronica and the rest of the series is definately for you.
This is the main focus of the first few hours. The story itself will slowly evolve into something that if you show dedication to than you will be very satisfied when it is all said and done. Now lets talk about some technical aspects.
Paper Mario...
May be too kiddy for older folks.
Mist engulfed me - I think I have been lost ever since.
8597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good.
Its nice to look at (although I didn't like the 3D style) and you need a good spec machine otherwise expect jerkovision (or if you build too many rides). Theres only 4 parks/scenarios! unlike RCT where there are loads plus an add on pack). My nephew liked taking pictures of the park and emailing them but it has taken a whole new view point into Sim games. This isn't a true Sim game - I think we need a bit of going back to basics here and seeing what makes a Sim game. Just look at Theme Hospital and RCT. It also loses marks for having the only online help assistant who is more annoying then the MS-Office Paperclip one! (Luckily you can turn him off!)
8850 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember the first time playing this game ever. I was at my friend Albert's house and he had GB games like Mortal Kombat, Mega Man and Kirby's Dream Land 2. I didn't really care for Mortal Kombat but Mega Man and Kirby were cool (Kirby probably being the coolest of them all).
Chun Li - Ryu - Zangief
5519 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Childhood memories.
Next we come to the sound. There are some very interesting and catchy tunes in this game. From the traditional Mario theme to some very great Square compositions. Each area has its own unique tune and at time I found myself humming to it. As for the sound effects, they all work. The attack and power sounds, as well as the grunts are all well done, and fit this game perfectly. There is no voice acting to speak of, but what do you expect from a classic SNES game.
OOOOH BANANA.
4191 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought that Theme Park was a good game to do with theme parks but when I saw this, I just had to have it. I was in the USA and thought that, this is what i want to do, to be able to design my own park and to be able to run it all. But there are always problem when running a Theme Park. You get put as the designer, maker and manager of your own co-orporation, however big it is. The missions that you have to try and achieve are really great and life like. You can actually see Theme Park around the world having to cope with all of the aspects that you have to cope with when playing this game.
2478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! This game is so cool! A fighting game with 12 great nintendo characters! They are ... Starfox(my fave),Mario, Donkey Kong,Yoshi, Samus,Pikachu,Kirby, and Link. And don't forget the 4 other characters that you have to unlock! They are Jigglypuff, Luigi, Captain Falcon, and Ness. With Fighting games, you usually think that there is going to be blood and gore and stuff, but that's not the case here. This game can be played by all ages. It basically just has cartoon violence in it, nothing major. The characters have different attacks and can use all sorts of items. It has great replay value and can be played with up to 4 people. While it may take a while to master, this game is great and is reccomended to anyone. Also if you liked this, then you'll really like Super Smash Bros. Melee for GCN. Trust me.
I love the music, movies or character endings from Anna Williams and Tiger Jackson especially, background stages, and so on.
1771 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game would absolutely recommend.
7830 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Diddy Kong has a better graphics system then Mario Kart and gameplay is faster and less sluggish. Alltogether a good game to own and worth the money if under fifteen bucks.
9633 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As of now, this is possibly the most realistic 3D shooter I've ever played. No kids allowed here! (There's a Wal-mart (censored) version, but it's not as fun) The graphics are excellent, and everything could have happened. Your objective is to destroy 4 nukes that were stolen. No aliens, zombies, plasma guns, or super death rays are in here! The weapons are even modeled after real-life ones, for crying out loud! Of course, the funniest thing is the "gore-zones." Depending on where you shoot a guy, a gun shot or a knife mark will appear there. Blowing off half of a guy's head with a shotgun can be the UNTIMATE stress reliever. Sure, it's more violent that even Kingpin, but in SoF, an F-word isn't inserted casually into every conversation. However, SoF is not perfect. The AI can be quite stupid at times, with people running in circles, or ignoring you entirely. Plus, in the later winter stages, there is a fog which can get really annoying when the AI can see you, but you can't see them. Other than those problems, I think SoF is an otherwise flawless game.
813 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very fun game to play, and has an excellent story line to play. Lots of different equipment to use, and the game isn't overly difficult to beat.
7306 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Five different versions of the game, and here, you don't even have to roll the dice or keep score. The computer does that for you. Of the alternate versions, I like Painted Yahtzee the best. Good versions of the classic dice game. If I remember correctly, you don't need to install the disc each time to play it.
8188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Played this game when i was a kid and really enjoyed it. This game still holds up well today and i am surprised there had not been a digital release on the Nintendo E-Shop.
If you still own/play on an N64, this game is a must have.
5238 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great game, very fun, classic
5036 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Zombie Babies!..Zombie Babies!, its what makes the game tick. The controls were "sloppy", but, i really didn't mind cause the graphics were awsome. One of my favorites i really enjoyed.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes strategy games. But mind you, patience is a virtue and be careful to whom you make your allies and who says they want to be your ally!
The Deep, Underground Maze
died over Europe. That's the entire crew of 5,000 different aircraft. Losses were high. It was hard to get through the 25 missions required, alive. For the Luftwaffe, it
Well, pretty good, but i think FF VI and IV did it better tbh.
Banjo and Kazooie
Graphically Banjo kept up to date well enough. The visuals are just a tad choppy, but they still look good enough, and that sort of thing happened all the time in the N64 era. Sometimes objects that are a little ways away won't appear on screen until you get closer, which thankfully doesn't prove to be too annoying but still would be good if fixed. Despite these few flaws, though, the graphics look great considering the times.
CONS:
Lets examine it. For one, there are three pendants you have to acquire in LTTP. This is after you go and rescue Zelda and leave her at the temple. Well, this time around, you don't rescue Zelda, but you do go and talk to her. After that, when you get the three pendants, you go and she is kidnaped. This is after you get the Master Sword in the Lost Woods. In Zelda 64, you go thru the first part of the quest, getting three spiritual stones. After you get those three spiritual stones (which I think the tower on LTTP is much better than that d----- Lord Jabu Jabu's belly. I hated that dungeon! =)), you go to the town. Guess what, as Link approaches, there it cuts to a cinema, and Zelda is kidnaped by Ganondorf. Hmm . . . haven't we seen this story before? It turns out that you have to get 5 of the Sage's medallions. Rauru conveniently gives you one, so we can cut the sixth one away. Only by getting the six sage medallions can you open the bridge to fight Ganondorf. How intriguing.
You control Fox McCloud, leader of his flight squad which includes 3 other characters (many of you know already who they are.) All of you are out to stop Andross (the main villain from the first game) from taking over the world again so you travel across different planets, each with its own theme and challenges. Shoot everything in sight to get points, fly through colored hoops (to refill your energy, extend your energy meter & restock weapons), collect bombs that destroy everything on the screen and defeat the boss in each planet to move on until you face off against Andross himself. Grab up to 3 friends and play the multi player modes to shoot it out against each other with its own options to tweak before each match starts.
3434 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The console today is still great. There are so many games for this console that you can still easily find this day. It is still compatible with most modern televisions thanks to its S-Video capability. The console is a classic, but also has so many hidden gems, you can really go to its Wikipedia article and start to drool. Further, with its VMU capability and four ports for controllers it has aged much better than other retro consoles.
Espio--NICE
Driver
One great thing about this game is how you can create your entirely own units. For example, if you don't like the design vehicle unit with the antimatter weapons and speed upgrade, you can run to the prototyope shop and swap those out with psionic weapons and the ability to paradrop (so long as you have the right technologies). Plus, not only can you upgrade the weapons and armor on just about any unit you've already built, but you can swap it out for different bonus abilities (such as paradrop), though all for a price. This leaves you with the ability to have the upgrade and alter all the units at your desposal to your needs, rather than on regular Civ games where you might get stuck with a useless cavalry unit because you can't upgrade it into a tank.
The graphics and lighting are amazing, and really set the atmosphere. I recommend this game, but a getting a lot from it is not to be expected.
4287 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You know, when i first saw this i thought it looked like Sim City, which i think is a ok game but it gets so boring and after a while it gets dumb. But I went over to my neighbor's house and saw Roller Coaster Tycoon for the first time. Its awesome. I'm Going to probably have to force myself to stop playing it though because its so addicting. You just always want to add more on to your park and get more guests. In the game your given levels. Each level has a challenge. They give you a certain amount of money, (sometimes you can add on loans), and a certain amount of time to get so many guests and have a certain rating for your park. In the ride department you can choose from either pre-packaged things or build your own roller coaster's, trains, monorails, log flumes, and more. You can also add restaurants and mostly anything you can have in a theme park. Also, if you keep a level for a certain amount of time you get more attractions and rides and restaurants. The roller coasters range from regular wooden, to steel, to one support steel, and any roller coaster you can think of, its awesome. It may be a strategy game, But its better than any shooter or RPG that i've ever played. BUY IT!
Longevity--5/10
Perfect Dark brought decent graphics (for a 64 bit system) and many new toys to a genre that is very difficult to make upgrades on. Although I know a lot of the things in PD weren't really "new" and that PC games used a lot of the techniques before PD came out, PD was the first to bring it all in, and one-uped it by putting it on console.
Fall 1991. It was a great time to be a video gamer. For the past 5 years, the NES was on top of the world and home to so many memorable games. While the Sega Master System was its rival, it enjoyed more of a cult following as the majority of video games were released for the NES. But like all good things, they come to an end as Sega ushered in a brand new console. The Sega Genesis, released in 1989, featured new technology and more horsepower to display flashier games and brought a new video games icon to rival Mario and Nintendo. Nintendo responded by releasing the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and a brand new Mario game (Super Mario World.) This was the game packed in with the console and was responsible for maintaining the large fan base the original NES had built up for years. To say this made an impact to gamers would be an understatement.
Hidden secrets like being able to wall jump up to the roof.
1024 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It has spawned such classic levels (as I recall) such as Luigi's Circuit, Moo Moo Farm, Frappe's Snowland, Toad's Turnpike, Koopa Troopa Beach, Banshee Highway, Bowser's (infamous) Castle, Wario's Stadium and the ridiculously long and bright track, Rainbow Road, which has spawned at LEAST 5 different versions throughout the series!
1032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is really awesome, but how awesome? Is it the best of the Legend of Zelda series so far? Oh, undeniably, but that is not the point. My point is that it was the best game for the Nintendo 64, with Super Mario 64 and its direct sequel, Majora's Mask in a second place draw. It shows how the franchise began. Link sets off on a journey to save Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf for the first time. He meets Princess Zelda on the way, and when she flees from Ganondorf, she leaves the Legendary Ocarina of Time in Link's possession. He uses it to travel through seven years with the help of the Master Sword. The graphics were neat for the time, the storyline was really exciting, and there is a lot of stuff to collect. The dungeons were challenging, and the boss fights are neat. If you are a fan of Nintendo, please pick this up. You will be glad you did.
5928 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i am a big fan of this item was so glad to get it, and it was everything i hoped it would be
6702 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I can't believe I got this game for Christmas fourteen years ago. For months after, I would actually *dream* this game.
Ok, let's run through the thing. The first RPG I've ever seen that DOESN'T REQUIRE EXPLORING! All you do is follow the dialogue (VERY intriguing story) and fight, fight, fight!! The battles reek of awesomeness, and require a huge amount of strategy, which rounds out to a game that will not be enjoyed by everyone. Some might not appreciate the smarts that go into this thing, and the game is very user friendly; should you lose a battle, you learn from your mistakes and eventually will move on. It builds thinking skills!! How's that, parents? You are Ash, a soldier who can kick some serious booty. Your initial friends: Diego, an Archer, and Clint, another soldier. As the story progresses, you meet other characters, (rounding your final party to twelve, whom you can use in the same fight at the SAME TIME) and enhance your abilities; archers can become either Hawknight or bowmen and then advance from there to higher levels, and so on and so forth for each character. You'll like the ending, I assure ya.
WARNING: Age of Mythology is pretty useless. The Gods make no sense. Most of the game is made up rather than Age of Empires. Try the expansion packs if you want more action from a game maker like Microsoft Games...
7400 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A while back we previewed a new Capcom game that didn't quite seem to fit into their normal fighter outfit. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (an almost self-parodying name, there) surprised everyone with its cute, super-deformed characters from the Street Fighter and Dark Stalker games, Street Fighter II-like combos, and intense, strategy driven gameplay. Here was the puzzle game to beat all puzzle games, plus it had all our favorite Capcom characters. How could you go wrong? Puzzle Fighter follows the basic two-player puzzle premise, where paired objects drop and stack into columns. In this case, they're colored gems, and by stacking four or more like colors together in a square or rectangle they make large gems, called Power Gems. The Crash Gems also drop, and these are the ones that shatter the gems. So far, this is pretty standard puzzle fare, but Puzzle Fighter really excels in strategy. A little luck does come into the game, but the real determining factor is planning. Not only do you want to stack your gems so a lot will bust at a time, you want to stack them so multiple colors will chain react in succession. Bust a lot, and gems will rain down on your opponent. These games won't be able to bust until they count down from five. The pattern that your gems fall on your opponent are determined by your character, and vice versa, so if you know your opponent's drop pattern, you can set up for that. This is really the key to Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo success. Perhaps the most satisfying part of the game is setting up the multi-hit combos. When you pull one of these off, your character attacks your opponent's character, complete with the sound effects from the original fighting games. It makes the game extremely exciting, and gets you shouting at your opponent like a madman! Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is an excellent puzzle game, and is fun even when you're playing alone. It doesn't matter if you like puzzlers or not, you owe it to yourself to check this game out.
The most innovative feature in the game is the radar which shows the terrain and your enemys field of vision. Its very useful and youll see yourself looking at it all the time. But in some areas, the radar gets jammed and you won't be able to use the radar if you are spotted so you shouldnt get too used to it. Ways to get by undetected include crawling under objects, hiding in boxes, hiding behind walls and making noise to distract the enemy. The game also includes many gadgets and items such as infra-red goggles, night vision goggles, mine detectors, rations, binoculars, the famous cardboard box andcigarettes?
281 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The PS2 memory cards are essential for a PlayStation 2 system.... particularly for the `Slim' models, which do not allow for the use of a hard drive and with 128 MB... more than enough storage space for games (and saves from starting over each time when playing games). Great deal.
The music is amazing. The theme of the bramble forest levels is particularly awesome to listen to while you're playing; I sometimes pause the game just to listen to that song play. Or you could listen to the mysterious tune of the gloomy gulch stages, which are also cool.
The music is also catchy. I don't think you'll like it, but I certainly do. It's sort of ... actually I'm not really sure what the hell it is. It's good though.
4367 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Don't be fooled by the design, this is an excellent game. There are plenty of rides to build, coasters, merry go rounds, observer towers, 3d cinemas, motion simulators, e.t.c. Park managment is easy, with graphs and plenty statistics to manage your cash flow or park value. The only problem with Roller Coaster Tycoon is the time it takes to pass a year, aroung 90 minutes. Some of the scenarios require you to do it in 4 years, so expect to be playing for a long while. Though i must say time seems to pass fast because it is not boring. And they just released the expansion to this giving you more rides and scenarios, its really great.
There Shall Come A time
If that doesn't tell you this game is good, I don't know what to write. The plot is unbelievable, the graphics are unbelievable, the game is unbelievable, the only problem I have is that you aren't really motivated to play it again after you finish it, but the game is really long, so I'm not too disappointed. I've had a PS2 since Xmas, and I still haven't seen graphics to beat this game. The story rivals my favorite movies, and I HATE video game plots!
So....fast forward to the release of the Playstation....and the eventual release of Doom. I bought Doom the first day it came out....and my Playstation wasn't turned off for 32 straight hours. I ABSOLUTELY love first-person shooter type games, and aside from Rise Of The Triad (the first FPS I ever played) Doom turned my world upside down.
This game is the greatest First person shooter game for the N64. The controls aren't so difficult that you'll get lost and forget which buttons to use while you're losing, but they are simple and easy and at the same time fun. And even if you don't like the controls, you can decide which buttons you want for which ones the controller screen.
Daikatana
sony sucks big time
For those whinning about no saving on Super Mario Land you can finally stop your bitchin' because this game incorporates an auto-save feature. It works well but there are moments where the game will erase the data on its own.
The game play of StarCraft is easy to understand and fun to play. It has a learning curve of about 30 minutes and offers quick aid for making game winning strategies. The game also offers jaw dropping cinematic sequences (in game cut scenes) and funny unit quotes which complement the games story that is full of twists and turns.
1443 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is fun, but don't expect a classic Super Mario game. This one is way diffrent than any other Mario game before it, but still great in it's own way.
Overall: 9/10 - A big improvement from the great first game. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back has it all - story, characters, levels and fantastically constructed colouring and visuals.
What I really like about this game is the difficulty. Even on easy, once you start going form level to level, it gets hard. I like that in a game. And what's so good aboutit, once you complete a level of difficulty or different way of palying the mazes, there's more to experiment with and reconquer! So, looking for something cute yet totally ungirly? Something that will wet yoru appetite to come back and paly it again, again, and again? Something hard yet addictive?!... Then look no further! This is the game for you. Buy it... Now.
In short, this is a wonderful game that will always have a special place in my heart.
Creative stunning 2d graphics,detailed animation on all enemies,heavy detailed stages.
You can switch between these realms whenever you wish, this can be a big help, as that might not be reachible in the material realm might be in the twisted spectre plane, or visa versa.
How are you supposed to enjoy a racing game if you keep hitting the side of the track and STOPPING every couple seconds? There's so many turns in any one of the races, that the problem is unavoidable. I don't understand when people say you need skill to enjoy these racing games. If I can't increase speed, then what ELSE is there to enjoy? If the appeal lies in playing each race over and over so you can memorize the track to avoid hitting the side, then count me out. Doing that would be WAY too tedious of a task. You need a lot of space to freely drive around or else a racing game won't work.
7755 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great of course!
-Amazing set of characters.
+ awesome fmv
9341 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Oh! come on this game isn't that easy. It is so hard. This game has too many confusing puzzels. If you looking for something Really fun try something a little easier.
The graphics are excellent - it's a little odd at first seeing 2D sprites on a 3D arenea, but you get accustomed to it. The soundtrack would've been worth releasing another CD for (like they did with the first game), and the controls are sharp. If you're like me and still go for a little retro gaming, Killer Instinct Gold is probably the best fighter you can get for the N64.
- Lots of playable characters to unlock as well as secrets to uncover
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
6155 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the best Star Trek simulation I've played (and I've been looking for a good one since the early 1980s). Many ship designs (and the ability to customize them), several races to play, good graphics, and well-done music and sound effects. Nothing like catching an enemy in a tractor beam and slugging it out while transporting marines onto his ship. The tutorials are also very informative. There are some problems with the game, though. In one of the federation scenarios, I couldn't win without sacrificing a ship (though I should have been able to use a tractored enemy ship as the sacrifice). The game is a first-class flight simulator, but not much else. You don't really get a sense that moving about the galaxy changes the game in any meaningful way. Also, even though you have crew members who have names, they are nothing more than statistical probabilities that can help or hinder game play, not communicative crew members. After finishing all of the scenarios (which I have not), I imagine this game does not have much replay value beyond customized skirmishes that you can create. Altogether, the price of this game makes it a good value, and probably one of the better games in the Starfleet Command series.
Value: 10/10 - Do not read this review further if you have not yet played, bought or borrowed Tekken 3. It is well worth the money and you'll play it for ages! Not a game you get sick of easily.
To me, it's one of the best racing game series ever.
The quest mode includes three sets of characters: the Vigilantes, the Coyotes, and the Drifters. In order to see all the scenes of the movie and fill in the story line, you have to beat each character and complete all objectives. The objectives are more difficult than in the original Vigilante 8 game and on the Drifters levels, they are plain absurd. The objective levels with the Drifters are the most difficult to meet and a hint would be to get the crazy stuff out of the way before going on to the more attainable goals.
Very enjoyable game

7653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Turok is friggin awsome.
4710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I now know why this game is considered the last most awesome castlevania game since castlevania 4.. I am obsessed with part 4 and always wondered why they didn't continue with games like it and I don't know how or why I never bothered to give this game a try.. this is the perfect game to get into the Halloween spirit and well its a castlevania freaks dream come true.. the game is perfect and I consider it the best game I have ever played.. words cant even explain how highly I think of this game.. buy it and give it a try you won't regret it . I just wish they made games like this now a days.. I hate all these new weird games that are coming out .. I am amazed at how much this game has to offer .. never endless enemys of all types and the game just never ends..its very very long and challenging in a good way which I love.. no wonder this game is considered to be a gem ..
In conclusion, it is impossible to talk about the plot of this game and not give anything away, so you will just have to play it. Take it from me, a person who has been collecting videogames for years and years, this game is going to attain a very high price tag in not very long. The original version can go for upward of 50 dollars, and ive even seen the greatest hit version for 40! Its a great expierience you won't be able to put down, great for the action/RPG junkie!
The sequal to the original is better if not just as good as the original.
7330 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sega fans used to eat this game up and claim it to be the ultimate adventure. It sure is adventurous! It didn't become the all-time classic that gaming magazines thought it would, but Nights has some really spectacular graphics and leaves you with a pleasant taste in your mouth. It's unlike any other game I've ever played and when you're done playing it, you think about it. You think about how there's really nothing else like Nights out there. That alone should be enough for you to look into the game.

Quake is just a shoot fest, that doesn't offer much enjoyment in the single player mode outside of practice for multiplayer. Half-Life however, involves problem solving and a knack for pressing the F6 key on a regular basis. (quick save) This is the only game I have that can spook me. I get so into the stage, sneaking around and all, when a baddie pops out, I've been known to develop a nervous tick.
The battle system is pretty basic. Enemies appear on screen as you walk through dungeons, giving you the opportunity to avoid annoying random encounters if you are fast enough. Fights are graphic-menu based, and the "view" function allows you to know the enemies' tactics so you can plan your strategies for each fight. Recovery points are all over the place, allowing you to feel free to use your magic and techniques without worrying about using up your MP.

The features are just amazing. At some points, you are required to move into the future 7 years, where Link is a full-grown adult, and sometimes back 7 years to advance in your journey. As an adult, some things will have changed. And when day turns to night and vice versa, some things will change that will be different when compared to the same place, only in the daytime.
3749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Most game go to 3D and are horrible but this was a great game. When i saw it i bought the dreamcast just for this game. All the launch units were sold out , so it was a bit of a wait. But looking back at it , this why we are gamers. It reminded me of being a kid again.
*And Zelda games
That said, it is an utterly fun game to play. Aside from the gore-point system, there really isn't much innovation in the game, but what it does do -- which is to provide a fun diversion where you blow the living **** out of enemies -- it does really well.
I admit, I haven't played throughly with the game. I haven't beat it, but I can tell by playing several multiplayer levels that PERFECT DARK is one cool game. Basically it's part HALO/RED FACTION shooter game where you play a female agent who try to wipe out featureless beings from the far-future. Is that right?
I usually, all these years later just play the game without it.
- You can't play NES or SNES games on it, to my knowledge
9106 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great price! It come's with a system and a game donkey kong. The game is great and the system is cool.
-VMU's use expensive batteries that don't last
8302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mega Man X is a spectacular SNES game. I used to play it all the time when Super Nintendo was popular so I decided to buy another copy on Amazon and fire it back up. For SNES, the graphics are comparable with some of the best games. The music on this game is sensational, some of the tunes will be stuck in your head for years. The controls are easy to use and will take repeated plays to master, but work well for the game. The replay value to a Mega Man fan or to an SNES fan is very high. I've played it through many times and still find the end challenging but very possible to beat. One thing that sucks is you have to remember saving on cartridges was still pretty high-speed at this time and was normally only used on RPGs, so you will have to enter a password or look one up online to pick your game back up. Still, I would strongly recommend this.
I've gone down memory lane long enough. The sad part is I still have my old Ape Escape game, but it no longer works anymore. I'm definately buying it off amazon. I wish instead of porting Ape Escape to the PSP, they would have ported it to the PS2, with an soundtrack unlockable available. Given that attention is mostly put on the PS3 and other next gen consoles/games nowadays I don't see a port happening soon (the PS3 doesn't even play older games according to some people I've asked). Ape Escape is definately worth buying.
9428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A fun game to play.
6681 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I downloaded this from the Nintendo eShop, and I had played Mario Land 2 in the past, which was excellent, but this game is bad. I'm sure it's not the worst Mario game out there, but it's the worst one I've played. It's not a horrible game, but it's just not as good as its predecessors or its successors. The biggest complaint I have are the controls and the physics. It doesn't even feel like a Mario game. The controls are klunky and often unresponsive, the physics are weird, like the Fire Flower's Fireball. It ricochets everywhere before eventually going out. The enemies are unlike anything I've ever seen in Mario. In one world, you have to Easter Island Heads with arms and legs, kinda like Nosepass from Pokemon. The Koopas explode when you jump on them. I don't mean they explode and die, i mean, when you jump on them, they go into their shell, and explode like a Bob-Omb, hurting you if you're too close. The graphics, I can't give TOO much flack to because it IS gameboy, but it doesn't look much better than the Mario Calculator games I played back in highschool. I'd say skip this one, go straight to Mario 2. It's much MUCH better.
1574 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the very first twisted metal game to come out and i loved it. It is different than the rest of them but it is still fun to play. It has the original people and tracks to go to so if u have played any of the other twisted metal games u will reconize most of these people. It is very hard to beat because it is the first game and it took a long time to get used to. The graphics well this is the first one, its on the ps1, and it is a very old game so yes they r not very good. It is all blocky and the cars move in weird directions. This is a great game on multiplayer though, there r many different things to do unstead of just battleing each other. After u beat the game a couple of times it is easy to play and beat ur friends at it. This is a very fun but challenging game.
8430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Does not work with Retro Duo System! This is not a flaw with the game. Just get an original system if you want full compatibility.
5812 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've owned and played this game for a number of years, and it still holds up. This is the best of the "city builder" games I've played. I loved Ceasar III, but it was plagued with some annoying bugs. Pharoah has solved those bugs. There are still some issues remaining, but this is the best even pushing 10 years later.
9219 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this on my 3DS using Club Nintendo points, and I don't know how I missed it before. The game was very large, difficult, and creative. I always hated the original arcade Donkey Kong. Mario died if you fell off a ledge (Yet he could withstand falling off of planets in Mario Galaxy), his hammer was useless because he could not climb up a ladder, and it only had 4 levels (3 in the NES port). This game fixed everything. Mario could fall to the next platform (but not all of the way to the ground), he could throw his hammer up and then climb a ladder before it fell, and the game included 100 LEVELS! Every level seemed to put Mario's moves at full power, he did a hand stand, climbed a vine, grabbed enemies, etc. After about 2-4 levels Mario faces Donkey Kong, which gets really interesting. One boss level was the first level Donkey Kong Jr., another ironically had Jr. flipping switches for his dad, and in one Mario had to climb up a massive bunch of ledges carrying a barrel to throw at DK. Every time Donkey Kong would grab Pauline and run away. The soundtrack is ultra catchy, even though the 8-bit tunes can be weak at times. If you don't play this, you are missing out on the world's greatest puzzles and challenges.
1. There is a lot of backtracking in the game. Perhaps there was an area that was blocked off before or an item that you need to proceed, you will then learn that you need to go back 3 locations to find what you need to progress in the game. That can get annoying at times.
2836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was so cool it nearly gave me a heart attack... literaly! The mad man none as Specter who puts on blinking red, yellow, and blue helmets with sirens. The blue sirens mean they don't hear or see anything. The yellow sirens is when they hears something. And the red sirens is when they see you or if your chasing them. So Specter put the helmets on them and formed a monkey army to destroy Spike and Jake. And you can get thounsands of Gatcha Gagets and I'm not telling you what they are. And Gatcha coins and Specter Coins. YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME!!! Also play these games Ape escape 2 & Ape escape 3.
I cannot recommend this game enough.
7922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I cannot think of anything the makers of this game could have done to make it any better. Playing this was exciting from the beginning to the end. There is a huge world to explore with fun side quests, and many people to talk with. I loved all the different unique areas to explore, and to find out where I could go to next with my new abilities. The game surprised me many times with its fresh new look and being able to do so much, and the puzzles were not so frustrating to loose the fun out of it. This game will always be near and dear to me, I loved playing this game, and it will always be one of my favorite games.
Sound score is based upon voice overs, SFX, and music.

There are also mini games for multi player mode. You can play Monkey Smashes (with up to four players) and Battle Arena's (with up to four players as well) which are really fun. There are also single player mini games with Rambi the Rhino and Enguarde the Swordfish.
Trust me, get this game.
8695 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll admit that whenever I think of this game, I do get pretty nostalgic over it since this was really the first videogame I ever got heavily engrossed in, since I got this at the age of four on Christmas Day of 1991 (I honestly don't remember much of my life before then). However, the nostalgia factor does NOT influence the rating I have for this game, I'm strictly rating this game on how much quality I think it has. Anyway, on to the review.
If you play as Motaro you will get your a** handed to you literally! (Pun intended). The A.I. actually puts any character to uppercut him and send him flying almost out of view of the screen! But if you were to uppercut the A.I. Motaro, he only staggers, can't have him flying into the air, oh no, that would require fairness in the game.
4474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games Sid Meier has ever made. This game is very much like Civ II, but even better. It's so addictive that you should be prepared to spend hours and hours on playing this game. If you like Civ I and Civ II, and the other Sid Meier game, this is a must buy!
-J. Garten
824 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game came two days early, and is a great game. The controls are nice, Gruntilda is enormously entertaining, and you can easily spend hours on it.
3596 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast is the best system ever. I've enjoyed this system from the minute I bought it. I've always been a Sega and Nintendo fan, and mostly against Sony from the start, and this really does the trick. Of course today, everyone thinks the PS2 is the "DC Killer." Not true in any way, shape or form.
The games that I have look very good. I have found that the Sega products tend to keep a more 'cartoony' style while the PS2 is desperately trying to get the characters to look more human. (Well, humanoid. Only Square can do it best...) I don't have many and that brings up the next case.
Fun factor: 4/5
+ 120 stars to collect for long playing time.
3354 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks
Strangest of all to me is the content-line Remedy seems to have drawn for itself. No child should play Max Payne as it is, but the game is not nearly as explicit as many classics. The bloody chum found in *Quake*, *Half-Life*, and *Soldier of Fortune* puts Payne to shame. Swearing limits mostly to blasphemies, as *Payne* avoids words even network television slips in. While Max investigates houses, we see just one prostitute, and one gambler. *Duke Nukem 3D* has more pornography, foul language, and gore in the first two levels of the shareware version than all of *Payne*. The only illegal drug mentioned or seen is the fictional Valkyr.
2175 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Despite it being licensed it has a large element of fantasy to it, hence "adventure". You'll be racing around volcanoes, pyramids and in the Alps. Is that a spaceship? It might be. This game holds up surprisingly well since the 90's and still offers a challenge and fun.
I will admit that this game is extremely ambitious and has its flaws. The very different reviews serve to prove one thing: it depends wholly on the person whether or not you'll enjoy this game. Some people enjoy the game enough to get by its flaws and appreciate its differences, while others simply don't have the time or patience for it. It depends on your personality. Before buying, you must understand that:
The flexibility the game gives you in designing your own rollercoasters and theme parks is remarkable. This is one game that lets the players creativity shine.
The Wario Land 4 really seemed easy by comparison. Every technique that I had to teach myself to master in that set of games was originated in II and 3. The characters are different and the stories different but I would have been lost without doing Wario Land 4 first. It at least gave me a chance.
The game mechanics and control of Lara were never the best, but they were also adequate to get the job done. Lara spins on a fixed axis when the player turns left and right, and forward makes her run in the direction she is facing. Turning can sometimes be a chore, especially when the action is turned up a notch. Luckily, the circle button makes Lara do a somersault tumble, for a quick "about-face". The shimmying and climbing from ledge to ledge and jumping has always been amazing. Combine that with sliding down angular rock formations and time jumps and grabs to ledges, and you are bound to fall in love with the action that Eidos developed (NOTE: This kind of mechanics shined most for me in this game as opposed to all the predecessors, including Angel of Darkness for PS2. This kind of action became less and less as the series went on, save for Last Revelation, maybe). The swimming sequences and puzzles are also a really wonderful treat as well.
But one thing I really loved about this game is how much you care for the characters. I found myself trying to get through the infuriating torture scene when you have to hammer the O button unfairly fast just to save Meryl. *SPOILER* I've also played the ending where you find Meryl dead, and it's just really upseting. I never care so much about game charceters. *SPOILER*
5555 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 With all due respect to the PC version, I believe the Playstation One version of Quake II is the ultimate version. Yes, the Playstation version has loading times, but they're not THAT big of a deal. They're extremely short and hardly an inconvenience. Also, the rooms were more colorful and it was easier to see what was in front of you in the Playstation version.
THE BAD
8004 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Reasons why you should buy this
The Dreamcast has more great games for it than any system ever except perhaps the Saturn. Name any kind of game. Sega has something for you. Like multi-player strategy? Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party. Like fighting games? Soul Calibur (the greatest fighting game ever made). Like arcade racing games? Sega Rally 2 and Hydro Thunder, both as arcade perfect as it gets. Want a shooter? How about the import of Ikaruga? How about Mars Matrix? It goes on and on. The first cell-shaded game was on Dreamcast (Jet Grind Radio). The first 3D sonic game (Sonic Adventure). Not to mention that many great Playstation games came out in superior form on Dreamcast (Spiderman, Hydro Thunder, Worms, Tomb Raider, Dino Crisis ect).
I'll make it really blunt; the story is absolutely terrible. The uninspiring characters meander their way through the events without a care in the world, occasionally encountering plot holes large enough to drive an oversized bus through. Nagging issues, such as why somebody would lock their home's single shotgun away in a room that's only accessible through a string of unrelated tricks and puzzles, aren't even touched upon. What if somebody breaks in, in the middle of the night? Is the owner of the mansion really going to have time to roll out of bed, run downstairs, jog to one side of the house, move around a couple statues, grab a key, run to another corner of the house, open a door, grab a fake shotgun, return to the original side of the house, unlock the doors and replace the "real" shotgun with the fake? I suppose the story does the right thing by failing to even mention these things, but they'll still tug away at the back of your mind as you play.
Unfortunately, I found myself building and managing the population, but having to check the deities almost constantly. Unless you hold regular festivals, constantly build shrines, the gods will grow angry and exact revenge on your civilization. I found it to be more tedious than fun.
9390 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great platformer with great music you will recognize from the movie.
OVERALL
Overall, Donkey Kong Country 2 is a fine addition to anybody's video game collection. A revolutionary game that is still great fun. The excellent level design and the multitude of secrets will have you playing for a long time. A classic.
What made me upset the most was the action. They focused so much on making the multiplayer good, it outranks single player. Make no mistake, this game is MUCH better with 4 players.
Gameplay: Game play is frustrating at best. (Why is the "Arcade" mode listed before "Quest" mode?) The various modes of the game should be fun, but really, are more of a frustrating exercise in patience. Past experience tells me that arcade mode is a great way to "practice" the details of the game. In this case, it actually is set up that way. Hints and tips are handed to you before each battle. Cars can be limited in number and difficulty. And goals are clearly defined. However, actually doing all of this takes a bit of work. The number of "configuration" screens one must churn through is heart breaking. Whatever happened to a "simple" game session? And the enemies seem to be overly ruthless. Whereas quest mode seems to be the easiest of the modes, having blasted through 4 of the drivers in the first few hours of playing. I really didn't have much patience to even try the survival mode.
In 1991 and 1993, Tecmo, yet again released the same game, but with more to add to it by releasing this game to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. The modes in this game are awesome, and like the first game, the controls are simple and easy to understand. Plus, you can take your favorite NFL team to the Super Bowl and use the three-year option with playing the 1991, 1992 and 1993 schedules. Also, Pro Bowl and Coach modes are available and REAL NFL players and teams.
9195 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Super Wrestlemania was pretty good back in 1991, but later SNES WWF games were much better and made this one look second-rate. The graphics were decent, the sound was okay (future WWF SNES games improved on both graphics and sound...Royal Rumble and Raw had very good music for a SNES game, and Raw actually had a decent intro [similar to the WWF Monday Night Raw's 1993-1994 opening for the TV show]), but where it really lacks is it features just a few modes of play : singles match (player vs computer or player vs player) and tag team match (one player vs computer, one player vs another player, and two players together vs computer)...you won't find any tournament modes in this one, so you won't be able to go for the World Wrestling Federation Championship (the REAL world heavyweight title, slappy!). Future SNES WWF games allow you to go for the gold (WWF World title in Royal Rumble, and both WWF World title and WWF Tag title in WWF Raw). You'd be better off with either Royal Rumble or Raw.
368 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This charger is constructed as well as one would expect for the price. I don't abuse my chargers, so I'm not worried. Retractable prongs are a plus. Works well. I'd buy another if I needed it.
Its a side scroll, gorgeous 2d game where you play as mega man, a humanoid robot that polices the world.-bringing the end to robot masters that ensue terrorism and saving people lives when disasters hits. The enemies are fair yet challenging, goes for the actually stages as well. The truly skilled can beat bosses without using their weakness that you receive from beating bosses. The game is about 15 stages long.-they are very creative with vivid color and deep animation. Each stage has a boss at the end. Most bosses gives you their powers when defeated. Plenty of hidden cash to upgrade your abilities that mega man s sister roll provides in her workshop.
Super Mario 64 will always be known as one of the best 3Dplatformers in video game history.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is one of the best Naughty Dog PlayStation 1 game. Easily put, Crash Bandicoot 2 is WAY better than the first.
Some people were put off by the cartoony graphics, but I thought they were fine, even if Mega Man looked a little funky. The backgrounds were very nice and the level designs were quite good... they haven't been this good since MM4, in my opinion. The storyline is among the best in the series and it's almost played like a comic book, which I found intriguing. Proto Man ALSO HAS TO DO WITH THE STORY and the poor guy needs to get his own game! The music is thankfully better than the past two entries and this is an overall challenging game, something that most games lack nowadays. On a final note, you can also have a weapon selected simultaneously with your mega buster, which is VERY convenient.
In the third level, there is a hidden area where you can play the original Pitfall game that was originally released on the Atari 2600! This really adds great appeal to nostalgia fans. The game is emulated perfectly, without any flaws or glitches whatsoever. However, when you get a Game Over, the game takes you back to the room where you found the portal that lets you play it.
The game is just way too hard for me. But I beat it.
No one knows what his motives are. He spends the entire game frozen in a crystal while his black-coat flunkies and Jenova's severed pieces do everything for him. He rips off Kefka's fallen angel performance. And not to sound even more nitpicky, but wasn't his plan to be at the center of the planet's Meteor-inflicted wound, because that's where the energy will be gathering? Meteor is hovering over Midgar. Sephiroth is stuck underground in a crystal at the north pole. Is this a tremendous oversight on Sephiroth's part, or does he have some other power I'm not aware of because the game never bothered telling me? Ambiguity is one thing, plot inconsistencies are another. You should not have to consult the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega Guide and/or retconning DVD releases to have this stuff clarified.
- The team hyper moves are actually a bit better than in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in my opinion.
7715 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Truly love this game!!!!
2728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you've played the original Lunar for Sega CD, I need only say: "Buy this collector's edition now!" For those of you who are unfamiliar with Lunar, it's a classic old school RPG with 2D graphics and turn based battles. There are some differences between the Sega CD version and the Playstation one though. The graphics and color have recieved a noticable face lift, some areas have been edited or cut altogether, and a few items have also been left out. The music (a prime feature in the Sega CD version) has been reworked also, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Another new feature is how you encounter enemies. You no longer are forced into random battles...enemies are now only in dungeons and can be seen by icons and therefore avoided in many cases. Overall, this a great package even if the price tag is high. The music CD and the documentary disc are nothing monumental, but fans will appreciate it. If you have not played Lunar before and are a fan of RPGs, get this Playstation version while it's still available and find out why it created a cult following on the Sega CD.
However, this is not without its faults (what game is?). For instance, the goal of the scenario. If you surpass the amount of guests in your park and the park rating is above the required (usually around 600), and it's only year 2, you gotta wait. And that can be aggravating. Second, why can't guests go on the ultra-extreme coasters? It's not like they'll kill them or something.
6241 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game is so boring, I never finished it. For one, you can't die, you just resurrect, so why even care if you get killed. Also, you can get lost and never finish a mission and not care because even if you do, nothing happens. You don't build up armor or weapons and who cares any ways because, oh right, you can't die. You also can't build up a hunting party and people you meet have no real purpose because you can go anywhere. I never figured out the importance of any of the story line.
3224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Intro:
The graphics in this game are simply amazing; a perfect resemblance to that of the arcade game. The animations and textures are used wonderfully. Gameplay is pretty darn solid, and the replay value is tremendously good, especially if played multiplayer.
1283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Games sticker was very faded not like shown online. But the game works great and arrived fast
While other FPS games after Doom added a few new things here and there, very few were able to capitalize on Doom's greatest strength, which is its design. In fact, the only other FPS series to really impress me besides Doom is Half-life. I know that this review sounds like a bunch of praise, but a lot of the popular complaints are really nothing but hot air. However, I do wish that you could save the game via memory card instead of having to copy down passwords. That's my only gripe though. I give Doom my highest recommendation to open gamers looking for a challenge and a way to kill time. It's one of my all-time favorite games. In time, you too will agree that there's nothing quite like taking out a room full of zombie soldiers with a single double-barrel shotgun blast, jumping out of your seat as a group of angry imps pops out of a "monster closet"(hahaha), and dodging ferocious attacks by Barons Of Hell while you find health and attempt to take them out with a shotgun.
Thanks again
2937 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Classic game.
I found the gameplay to be above and beyond my expectations for this game. First let me talk about the primary world. There are over 8 worlds and within each world are a variety of stages that you must pass to move on. Within each world are stages where you must pass through dangerous caves, jungles, or mountains. There are also towns as well where you can interact with characters, buy items and weapons, or just take a rest. Every level of gameplay is unique and different. There are puzzles to solve, interesting characters to meet, and fun battles. This brings me to the next point, the battle system.
Of course, the controls are perfectly adequate for myself, but they aren't without fault (each character has a major quirk with their weapons' special function and it adds to the confusion at first). The stair climbing animation, however, is particularly horrid.
4366 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 RCT is a simulation theme park. Build anywhere from landscapes to MONSTER wooden roller coasters. Choose from paths, landscaping, transport rides, gentle rides, thrill rides, water rides, rollercoasters, and shops. Build your own theme park while keeping it clean and safe, but draining every cent out of your guests.
Unfortunately, the kind of lowlifes who keep coming Manny's way only deserve walking sticks at best, which does absolutely nothing to help Manny work off his time. So, he decides to take matters into his own hands and STEAL the right kind of client.
1572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Resident Evil changed the game industry forever. Although the Survival Horror genre is certainly old, being Interplay's "Alone in the Dark" the first example to come to my mind, RE sent the genre and the video game industry where it had never before ventured.
Try it out, it is fun! But don't complain if you get bored.
+Pro's:
If you get this game you definetly want to get on the internet and play on Battlenet. Thats what makes the game so addictive. It's a great game, but it gets even better when you can sign on and play against millions of other players. You can also get a hold of crazy maps on battlenet which add new and fun life to the game. We have a 20 port hub at home and this is are favorite multiplayer game to play. Like the guy in the review before me said, you really need to watch the clock when you get on battlenet because you will lose track of time. I will get so into this game, I'll stop for food and the bathroom. The rest of the time you are so engrossed in this awesome game.
Graphics look nice even today, after 12 years. The architecture and artwork are stylish and will never be outdated.
Visually, Lunar is a very colorful, artistic looking, smooth running game. It doesn't push the Playstation to its limits, but it does manage to be a good game nonetheless. The artistic design is incredibly well done, though. So are the character portraits and animated cutscenes. It's actually a very beautiful looking game, but it looks like a smooth over sixteen bit game too. Luckily, this won't bother most gamers.
3387 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The condition of the system was immaculate, but it wasn't working when I got it. I had to calibrate it and then it worked fine. I'm satisfied, but would have appreciated a heads up. Maybe they thought it was broken and that's why they were selling it. I have no idea.
The main point that I'm trying to make, is that this game is easily as scary as Resident Evil, but it's less in the real world; yet, it has a strange sense of familiarity to it. However, if you were brought up with the other survival horror world, than don't expect this to just me one of the better entries; this is it's own unique bloodline (well, Fear Effect was similar, but THIS is MUCH MUCH BETTER!!). I know horror players who have given up on this game due to the fact that it is too scary. I have myself, and I'm sure all these other reviewers did as well. You will too, but that doesn't mean that you won't like it.
9883 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is pretty short but a little challenging, especially without somebody else to help you like in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3, but still pretty fun. The hardest challenge has to be getting all the Chaos Emeralds and becoming Super Sonic/Super Knuckles but that's just how Sonic games are. It's also really fun if you own Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic the Hedgehog 2/Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Genesis. You can put the cartridges together to have some more fun. Of course, you probably already knew that.
I really love the music and the toughness of Mario as he beats the baddies into submission with kicks, punches and smashes. Though the graphics may pale by today's standards they seemed so far ahead of their time when the game was introduced (it was one of the first 3-D graphic games around).
When you've completed the campaign, hop online with Battle.net and let the carnage begin! StarCraft lets you play with up to 8 human/computer players via the Internet. Cooperative play with humans is an adventure if you give the computer AI the benefit of numbers (i.e. 5 on 3).
For a while, Super Mario World was my favorite game of all time. I loved the level design, the graphics, the gameplay, Yoshi, and the huge expansive world for you to explore. I considered it a near perfect game. But then this came creeping along. I had fond memories of playing the very fun Yoshi's Island DS, and I thought "Man, if I liked that theres no way in hell I can't not like this."
5927 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game.
The Beginner mode only lets you play through the first 3 levels. I guess that's fair for newer players.
FFT, when released, had what may have been the most awe-inspiring introductory CGI ever made, and even today it's pretty darn spiffy. The music is quite simply gorgeous; I bought the CD collection and don't regret it for a minute. While following the main plotline, you can also take on other adventures and jobs, gaining little perks along the way, and (if you're sharp-eyed) finding in-jokes and references to other SquareSoft games. (You can end up getting Cloud Strife from FFVII in your party, and meet Aerith of the same game at one point).
Highly recommended.
9000 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong Country is amazing. I would pay anything for it, even 900 dollars (but I bought my copy for 20!). Why is it so amazing? Well when it is cut on it plays a the original arcade Donkey Kong theme, but then Donkey Kong swoops in with his boom box and dances to a remixed version of that. Now how many 16-bit consoles were able to produce dancing 3D monkeys? Then the game starts. Donkey Kong burst out of his house. The game itself did not have any kind of plotline, but it was pretty obvious after a while. Donkey Kong walks into a cave with a sign that reads "DK's banana hoard". The music gets sad and Donkey Kong starts shaking his head. I got the message pretty well. Somebody stole Donkey Kong's bananas and he wants them back. This was all shown through 3D animations. Soon the big monkey is running through beautifully rendered levels. Controlling a giant rampaging monkey seems really hard, but it is not. He moves about as well as Mario. The level design is beautiful. My favorite was Stop and Go Station, which had me flipping a switch to freeze an enemy. Every time the enemy was frozen the lamps in the level would shine red. When the effects of the switch wore off the lights shined green. It was a very interesting puzzle. The soundtrack is as good as the graphic effects. I don't know how, but I have never heard as good of a score as this, and this came off of a cartridge. I have played Sonic CD (with some of the catchiest tunes), Super Mario Galaxy (fully orchestrated), and A Link to the Past, but none of those sound as good as this. Each tune went along with the theme. A dreary and quieter tune if it is raining, a flute tune for a forest theme, and a nice quiet tune for the nighttime Tree Top Town level. Believe me, once you buy this you will want to smash your uncreative and overhauled Xbox 360 to bits.
Other than outdated graphics and poor single-player experience, it revolutionized first-person shooter with slick controls, intense difficulty, and fun multiplayer with up to 4 players and more than 10 maps and characters to choose from.
For instance, there are points in the demo where the farmworkers just sit there and drown as the Nile River rises. The question isn't "what's causing this person to just sit there"... the question is "why is this even occurring?"
To play as Ness, beat the one-player mode with any character, with the number of starting lives set to 3 and the difficulty set to NORMAL. You must beat the game without continuing.
2572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect condition and awesome memories! Exactly what I hoped for!
9027 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 #1 best, hit me if ya disagree. Love the mine ride origional!"
You will love this game because it is more than you have ever played before. There is the original game, plus 4 modifications.
4452 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For the price, this is definitely a game set worth considering. Both games are quite good, although definitely the second is the one that makes this buy worthwhile. The first game is definitely a bit ancient in terms of graphics and gameplay.
CONS:
2705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow im a 22 yr old just started this up and this game had me me feeling like a kid again..i know its an old saying but they don't make em like this anymore..touching story,enduring characters and an achievement in the art of video games
But there's another side to the game--multiplayer action--and for this the game deserves some praise. As a vehicle for capturing the gaming possibilities of the Net, "X-wing" is worth the purchase price. There's a large, loyal player base for the whole "X-wing" series, so you'll never be alone on the Net.
1809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had never played a Crash Bandicoot game before, despite having been a serious gamer for 20+ years. Therefore, I wanted to play the original to get a sense of what the series is like. I was expecting an easy, light and breezy adventure, but this game is a serious challenge. A punishing save system is the main culprit, with very limited chances to save and frequent deaths with a limited number of lives. However, this is what helps make the game so memorable. I was on the edge of my seat, completely focused in a zen like state to beat the later levels.
I was worried when I read that this TR would return to the first, in that Lara would primarily search Egyptian-like tombs and areas. I thought this meant the environments would get old, but they don't at all. The places Lara explores are all related, but there are still tons of nice surprises (like a level on a speeding train), without the zaniness of TR3 (like Area 51 and pitch-black London skyscapes). Gone are the incredibly hard, unclear objectives of TR3, as well as the stupid vehicle levels.
Crash is the perfect mascot/icon for Sony and they let him go. At the time when Sony needed one, Crash was there and sold systems. He was the face of Playstation and it's baffling why they didn't hang on to him. Just ask Nintendo or Sega what the advantages of a mascot are. Nintendo is dead without Mario and after many failed attempts, Sega is still trying to resurrect Sonic. Crash was perfect for Sony. He's funny, has attitude, likable and recognizable and the games we're the first, really good 3D platformers for the next generation. He also provided a stable franchise for the younger audience, which every company knows they want and need. What happened here? Man, I remember the commercials when a guy in a Crash outfit went to Nintendo headquarters and stood outside with a bullhorn and was taunting Mario, daring him to come out. Classic. That was Crash. Sony really dropped the ball here.
1. If you don't turn the text option on, you're likely to miss some of the funniest wisecracks in the game. (To do this, click at the top of the screen on Prefs, then flip the Captions switch to "On.")
A great game, though.
I would recommend this game to any fan of the Tomb Raider series and to the average gamer. However, I do feel that other versions have better qualities. Tomb Raider II offers wonderful AI and is perhaps the best for a gamer seeking combat. Tomb Raider III combines the better aspects of the previous two, and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation offers the best plot and character mobility. If you are looking to stay in the tombs, or if you are not into puzzles, stick with this game. However, don't miss out on the other great qualities the Tomb Raider series offers.
--- Most of the in game functions can be done via touch screen.
8321 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Risk 2 is definitely worth the bargain price. The many different gameplay options allow for different challenges for one or more players. Some old high school buddies and I decided we would try getting together once a month to keep in touch, play a game, and chat. This game allows for intense gameplay while quality time with family or friends. The tournament is extremely challenging because it forces you to play the game in the different modes which does not allow you to develop a consistent strategy. This is a plus because games that allow you to form and follow a set strategy get boring and monotanous after a short time. The "Same Time" strategy takes a little while to get used to, but definitely is an addition that benefits the game. It allows for multiple attacks, both from two or more of your countries, but also from several of your countries and countries of other players. If you and a fellow player attack the computer at the same location, for instance, once the computer has been defeated, you and your buddy "go at it". You also have to watch out for "surge attacks" where an opponent can attack you one place and then immediately go into the next country while you're not even aware of it. If you're into a challenge or want a game which allows for some competition and quality time with family and friends, get Risk 2.

Play this game.
Buy if you want a slap of crap.
There is hunger, Thirst, Happyness, Nausa, and Bathroom, I like to rise the money for bathroom a lot, so people after it hits really high, they have to go. The downside to this game is, even if you make a great park, if your people have to pay everytime they go on a ride, they get broke, and leave, or get mad, trying to find there way out (This happened to me) so just make park enternce 60 dollars, and everything free. (even food) What my 2nd favorite thing to do in the game is, make roller costers that stack on each other, you can make a roller by just ONE land by.... Rising the land first, not too high though, then get a roller coster picked, the put the first roller coster path on the high land you made, and build on! You can make lots of stuff, in a small area! Graphics, ok, this is good, but nothing like what today is, plus, people can get stuck on Water Rides, for no reasons, and it isn't perceft on making a good life like roller coster because parts show on and off, Graphics:4/10 Fun, this game is the MOST addidive game ever! Fun:9.5/10 Gameplay, this can last you, like 100+ hours Gameplay:10/10 Sound, this is a bad thing in the game, like only the sound of kids and roller costers, needs SOUND:5/10 Overall, this game is great, if you like fun games, get this:8/10 which is Great, and 4 stars goes to Roller Coster Tycoon!

In fact, I think anyone that owns Starcraft should also own this expansion pack.
4703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best Castlevania game I've ever played. Sure, you don't get to play as Simon Belmont, but you can still rock the castle with Alucard and the numerous weapons and spells at your disposal. Truly the greatest Castlevania game ever invented.
War Zone is based off the WWF roster from late 1997 to early 1998, featuring only the most popular stars in the game . Among the wrestlers in this game, you can choose to play as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, The Undertaker, The Rock, Triple H, Mankind, Goldust, Owen Hart, Ahmed Johnson, Farrooq, British Bulldog, Ken Shamrock, and The Headbangers.
Im not too far in the game that i have too many cars, but i know that the first couple that you can buy don't have good controls. If some of the more expensive cars also spin out every time, then Im just going to give up on this game..
5132 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A friend of my bought a game at a store and returned it because his computer couldn't handle the requirements. So he returned it but couldn't get money back, so he got this game. After having for a month, he finally started to play it and that was it. In the end, another friend and myself started getting together three times a week playing this game for over 2 years straight against each other. I have probably played over 10,000 battles. And you can download free units and maps over the internet. Very cool. The game is very fast paced with many buildings, units, and other weapons. I still play this game to this day as do my friends. I recommend this game to everyone and I hope that they make the sequel.
Konami also screwed Maria when they released Dracula X on Super Nintendo in America. Maria was playable in the Turbo PC-CD version in Japan.
4945 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was feeling nostalgic so I bought this game along with a few others to relive my childhood. It's as much fun as I remember! A bit repetitive, as there are only a few levels and most are quick, but it's definitely entertaining the whole time. Totally worth the buy!
8749 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game sure was great back in 1994, but for today time and age it's pretty outdated. The gameplay has a lot of frustrating jumps and don't satisfied me so much. Simply aged game.
7483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Unholy War is simply put one the most unique games on the PSX. It is a simple Stradegy game that not many have ever heard of. I was introduced this little title on a Offical Playstation Magazine Demo Disk. On the Demo they had 4 characters playable, eah with their own strength and Weakness. I was hooked. When I purchased the game I loved it even more with the increase in Characters and the stradegy mode made the game a lot of fun to play.
how do you turn this on (must be spaced& not capitalized)- Cobra car that shoots
6021 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diablo II has the "look and feel" of Diablo I but is an entirely different game. It consists of 4 acts, each act with it's own quests, NPCs and monsters. The graphics are simply amazing, although the game is only available in 800x600. It is MUCH more challenging than Diablo I ever was, and there are different levels of difficulty (Normal, Nightmare, Hell). The item variation is also incredible, with hundreds of items to find and collect. If you're planning to play multiplayer, you'll also be happy to know that it is IMPOSSIBLE to cheat in Diablo II. The Battle.net "realm" characters are stored server-side, eliminating all ways of cheating. This is the best game of the year, and is easily worth your money.
Definitely one of the greatest games ever made.
8153 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If your looking for the newest game to add to your collection look no further!!! Mega Man X4 is the best(in my opinion) of mega man games. You can play as X and Zero and has slightly different endings for each adding replay value. Great cut scenes that will leave you shouting for more and a story line that will keep you hooked from the start.
Secret: Endless World of Yoshis or Crazy Maze Days
Of course, there are saving stations. You do not get to save after every level. This is a drawback. Saving stations are also level you have to jump, crush, step on dynamite, and so on. If you fall down, you cannot save, you have to go to the next saving station. It is hare, I am telling you.
The game offers a number of game types for one or two players. You can fight an exhibition match or go for the TV Title, US Heavyweight Title or walk that aisle in pursuit of the World Heavyweight belt. If you get tired of one-on-one action, you can choose tag-team play or battle it out with 29 other wrestlers in a Battle Royal. You can even get down to brass tacks and battle it out in a cage match. The only bad thing about a cage match is the fact that it does not allow you access to any weapons. In normal game play, there are a number of weapons outside the ring (you control how many) that you can pick up and use to beat the fool out of everybody that gets in your way; you can even just keep wailing on your opponent after he hits the ground.
1862 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Reliving classic nostalgia.
No multiplayer?! This was one of the games major problems.
5589 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game, one of my favorite FFs. Game was in great condition.
This sim is based on the bombing raids and air-to-ground attacks of the western front. All aircraft are flyable, including three heavy bombers, the B-17, B-24, and Avro Lancaster with their many bombardier and gunner positions! There are only a few different kinds of tanks, trains, and ships. The physics editor and mission builder appear to be the best ones yet, with waypoint markers, 1 million square miles of detailed terrain to work with, and even terrain sculpting! The only problem is that they are very complicated, and the help and read-me files are corrupted do to a programming error. The full mission builder and physics editor are unsupported by the company, and cannot be found anywhere. So much for the mission builder. There are only 6 pre-made missions, which are pretty good but boring after 12 times. The quick mission builder is good, with multiple aircraft, enemy aircraft, target, weather, and time settings, although you cannot select location or direction and are limited to 32 aircraft. With this you create awesome bombing missions, with formations of bombers attacking massive, detailed cities, with defending fighters swarming around. Terrain graphics are relatively good, but defiantly an improvement over Janes WWII fighters. Buildings are very detailed, from houses and hangers with individual windows, to massive factories and even small sky scrapers. Bomber details are pretty good, but fighters are kind of boxy with less curves. Damage modeling is great, bullet and flak holes appear when hit. The fighter AI is good, though not quite as good as WWII Fighters. The bomber AI, however, is superb. Bombers fly in close formation without ever crashing, (Imagine that!) and gunnery accuracy is better than any other flight sims bombers. Set to aces, a formation of 6 B-17s can shoot down a Bf-109 in less than 5 seconds! Ground vehicles, tanks, and ships have no AI whatsoever, and just go through their waypoints no matter what. The menu is very easy to use, and the menu music is not too annoying. The intro and in-flight music are cool.
5259 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many gamers know the words "Metal Gear" to be associated of the truly innovative NES title released some ten or eleven years ago. Truly revolutionary for that time, it was the only action game that didn't allow you to just go running around looking for fights; otherwise the same thing that would happen in real life to a one-man army would happen to you in the game. It made you think. Few games do this, and that's what makes this game, no, this franchise, so great.
The game is also very gory. I don't know why they gave this game a TEEN rating instead of a mature...it should of been rated mature.
7246 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 ...the actual game is okay but certainkly isn't on par with goldeneye. with the exception of the man dan carrington the characters are wooden and the story is very poor, you never feel into the game's story at all. the level design in general is bad, like the supposed 'stealth' mission in chicago where every enemy knows where you are anyway so there is no stealth involved whatsoever. some of the levels though are fun with inspired design like the sniping levcel in the snow but it doesnt make the game good.
While the graphics are fantastic for PS1, and moderate at worst for PS2, sometimes I find it hard to tell where, exactly, Crash is going to land. Also this very much 3D platformer has 'side scrolling' sections where I become convinced that pressing down will make crash duck, not fall into a bottomless pit, water, or whatever else is in the foreground. Saving can sometimes prove difficult, although, if you look in the right places, you can find a way to save after every significant area. Also, often after completing certain difficult areas, you'll be able to do them again at any point you desire, good for getting the games bonuses.
3141 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Booooo yeah!

9967 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can you say? The Road Rash series is the definition of classic when it comes to the Sega Genesis. If you aren't familiar with it and are buying it on a whim, the game basically goes like this: You ride a motorcycle down a very long road avoiding oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, animals and other racers. You are able to punch, kick and back-hand other racers to knock them back and get ahead in the race. Some racers will have weapons like crowbars or chains which can be stolen and used to do insane damage and attacks. You gain money from race to race to buy better, upgraded bikes which gives this game a very slight rpg feel since it remembers your progress.
546 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game a lot when I was little. It was always fun and I enjoyed it. The music in the background, the colors, the graphics; its all great. The coolest thing is that this game is one of a kind, and it is really a good one to add to any Nintendo 64 collection. Gameplay is easy and overall a really awesome game!
So if you are under 7, please do not buy this game. And remember,
1752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got exactly what I paid for. Good quality case and game disc.
6-Launch base city 92%
This is a great game that's fun to play. It has a gripping story that will guarentee some sort of emotional response if you have any sort of emotions at all. I liked just about everything about it, and I'd recommend it to any fan of Crono Trigger, Wild Arms, and of course the Final Fantasy Series.
3528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game kept me on the edge of my seat for days. I highly recommend. Gameplay is awesome, graphics are perfect and the bonus game at the end of the main game is worth playing through the whole thing more than once.
Overall, this is a true must-have. It's a game with some of the best music, graphics, and gameplay all around that a Pac-Man game could ever offer.
7692 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just what I wanted!! Thanks!
The best part about the Special Edition(the only one you can get), though, are the epic quests. They are TRULY epic, with two that are REALLY REALLY epic. My favorite is the good old fashioned Arthur quest. You get to play as Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, and the rest of gang through a story derived from Sir Thomas Malory's version of the Arthurian legend.
-You need to play through FOUR discs and have the time to put in upwards of 70 hours in order to get through everything the game has to offer. Patience is important.
7603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very creative and imaginative. I think the story is magnificient and the styles of gameplay that drastically switch to tell the story are great. Dash Rendar is a great character that is believable in the Star Wars universe. The soundtrack is beyond amazing even though not all of it is done by John Williams. A great game and I for one recommend this game to any Star Wars fan.
It's an underrated classic, a cult classic. I highly recommend it. It's fun, and realistic.
GRAPHICS: The graphics in this game are so beautiful and unbelievably awesome looking, that you can't even believe why they didn't do this in the earlier vs. games. If the graphics look this good on the 1st for Dreamcast then they have to look way better on the 2nd for the Dreamcast, and they do. I definetly have to give the graphics.
4) The 2 different races almost exactly alike
So why the 5 star rating? Simple. The gameplay. This game has it in droves, and this isn't the instant pick-it-up-and-master-it-in-10-minutes kind of gameplay. The multiple single player missions, character saves, three different "isms", and the overall deep build of the game make it seem more like an extremely high speed game of chess than a $20 fighter. A good player can soundly trounce those with less experience, and it's very rare that a new player can sometimes one-up a veteran through luck and button mashing. Tekken has this problem, though some don't consider it a problem. I, however, prefer a system that rewards those with the patience to master it. To each his own.
Three weeks ago, we put UT on five different machines, ranging from bare system requirements to far beyond. There was absolutely no lag or jumping frames throughout.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Gameplay adds in out door urban gameplay and the return of Raiden (note: games chronological order doesn't coincide with the number of the releases). This Game Finishes up the Solid Snake Story line from MGS1&2 and is the 4th best selling game on ps3 (the only platform it was released on).
Go ahead and get this and pick up the Loopy Landscapes expansion. It is well worth it. If you have Windows 2000, then be sure to visit the official web site for a patch. I can't tell if you if XP is supported, you'll want to check their official site.
6070 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorites!
The masterful gameplay and the many features are the best aspect of game.
Also, Resident Evil 3 includes an infinite amount of ink ribbons to save your progress, and you now also have an option to skip over dialogue conversations and cutscenes by pressing the select button. You didn't have this in the last game.
7038 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Nintendo 64 played host to quite a batch of good/great racing games. With titles like Diddy Kong Racing, Beetle Adventure Racing, Mario Kart 64, Vigilante 8 and Ridge Racer 64, they were diverse and fun at the same time. In 1997, Acclaim Entertainment introduced their own title into the racing genre: Extreme G. While it was reminiscent of the Playstation exclusive racing series (the Wipeout games), Extreme G holds its own and makes itself stand out as a game worth playing.
845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best racing games ever created, it inspired a generation of great racing games. You'll have so much fun playing this :)
Hopefully, the worst thing about the game will be fixed with some kind of patch, that horrible Artifical Intelligence. Your companions will constantly amaze you with the way they 'burn blood' like it's going out of style. The comp plays NPCs equally bad to the point where sometimes they won't even defend themselves.
This is the strongest part of the game no doubt, the game is programmed to utilize MOST of the potential of the PSO GPU, they managed to create excellent crystal effects!!!, water!!!, light sources and shiny surfaces like chrome and ice!!!. one of the few games that deserve to be owned forever unopened!!, one the few great looking games for PSO.
This is a game I would suggest to almost anyone (due to the amount of violence it is obviously not a kids game; I mean, look at the cover, the 2 is splattered blood).
9591 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Square's entry level Final Fantasy Tatics is a great game. Those who are deeply immersed into strategy gaming may find this game to be either elementry as far as strategy is concerned. Or complex due to the extreme customizing of the small platoon used in the game. For those who are familiar with Final Fantasy games but may have never played a strategy based game, this is basically the best of both worlds. Giving gamers a taste a strategy FF style.
2262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Memory is what you need to even begin playing with your nintendo 64 for two reasons. First you cant play Zelda without it. Second, because if you want to continue in a game with levels saving it will help. Nintendo 64 memory is a high price although if you buy another version of memory it may not work. Paying more is better thatn paying for a new system if it breaks.
Visually, FF8 was and still is an unbelievable sight. The photorealistic characters, settings and effects all but set the stage for the picturesque beauty of Final Fantasy X, the cutscenes remain an almost speechless affair, and the character designs and overall visual theme of the game itself are just breathtaking. This is a game I'd die to see simply reproduced in high definition at some point in the near future, as it pushed the old PSone above and beyond the limits of its hardware. The cinemas are occasionally marred by some artifacts caused by the necessary compression to fit this onto four discs, and the in-game visuals just scream for the power to deliver what they're so obviously capable of. The visual accomplishments of this game are just staggering, and the final cinematic caught me off-guard yet again by just blowing away the modern competition. This game was produced in 1999, and for its opening and closing cutscenes to tear apart their modern contemporaries more than a half decade later should say more than a few things about how awe-inspiring these graphics truly are.
My advise is: Enjoy the TV-show and use your playstation for something else.
5) Other: There are several original features which I never seen in any other adventure game.
In the game Mario can do some cool moves like back flip and so on. In the level's you don't get one star there are many star's in one level. Each level has many star's to fine. Get the star's and be very very powerful.
9507 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are an avid Nintendo fan, and you have an SNES, then you need to get this game. Yoshi's Island shows a lot of evolution in Nintendo's oldschool games. Although it is nothing like it's predecessor, a.k.a. "Super Mario World," it still manages to maintain the feel of a traditional Mario game.
The Very Loooooong Cave
6890 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game for starters is huge. It has a lot of levels. Just how many there are I have forgotton but lets just say there is a ton of levels. In this game the big difference about this game than any other bomberman game is that Bomberman can jump... Now with Bomberman jumping we have a different game here.
The Dreamcast failed because there were already more than enough successful gaming consoles on the market in 1999, and people didn't want the Dreamcast to interfere with the superior, soon-to-be-released Sony and Nintendo gaming systems. Sega also failed because of their long, frustrating history of ripping people off with unsatisfactory video game systems (such as the Sega CD and Sega Saturn). Sega would fool people into thinking they had something extraordinary in the works... only to end up not supporting it. They had trouble supporting the video game consoles they created and would often leave people with failed attempts and false hopes. Sega would always fall asleep on the job. This would happen time and time again, with Sega hoping the brain-dead masses would buy their average, incomplete gaming consoles. It's like the people who worked for Sega would always say "let's start something and not finish it".
5. The game itself is just awesome.
6783 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved as a kid still do
2486 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 super smash bros is an incredible game. the graphics are nice and simple the controls are great. this game may not be the best n64 game but it's definitly in the top 10. you can chose all your favorite nintendo characters and they all have unique moves. you start of with 8 characters but when you accomplish certain things you get new characters like luigi and captain falcon. super smash bros appeals to any age(i'm 14 and this is one of my favorite games).there are a good selection of stages with a lot of variety.
5044 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this a while back because I wanted an inexpensive, LAN capable multiplayer game that wasn't dreadful.
UGH this game was slo[...] get this game..
7241 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Donkey Kong. I loved the one on the SNES, to me it was the best one, but the one on the N64 wasn't as much fun as I expected. I favor the jungle levels, and this one only had one on it. I won't get into the fact about the ending (for all of you who know what I am talking about), because it was neither here nor there. It was totally untraditional.
JRPGs and other video games have had environmental messages before (Global Gladiators, anyone?), but Final Fantasy VII is a hardliner on the issue. Bugenhagen explains that the purpose of the White Materia and Holy is to induce the Planet to purge itself of anything threatening it. This not only means it will repel Meteor, but a very real possibility exists that humanity will be erased in the process. I'm used to hearing poets and environmentalists tell me that the world would be glad to see us gone, but this is some pretty heavy stuff coming from a video game.
1067 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a really cool game. I played this to death i don't know how many times, sometimes alone and at times with a partner.
Pros beats the Cons, this system is priceless!!
5419 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lots of fun! The graphics are good and the gameplay story is entertaining! 5 Stars.
5374 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 MK finally comes into the 3D realm in this game. I only wish there were more characters, and I miss the animalities, babalities, brutalities, and friendships. But overall, it's good.

- No Jet Pack. Duke no longer had the ability to fly around, which would have helped in certain stages.
7108 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This SEGA CD version of "NBA Jam" is almost identical to the Sega Genesis port,that was released a year earlier prior to this version. The graphics are pretty much the same. The only slight differences are updated team rosters,CD stereo sound,a couple of short FMV clips during half time and an unique,more complicated way of entering passwords for hidden characters. Other than those differences,this is exactly the same game as the Genesis version. Just like with the SEGA CD version of "Mortal Kombat",I remember being kinda let down when I first got this back in 1995. My high expectations for digitized arcade-like graphics were destroyed,upon playing this SEGA CD port of "NBA Jam".Not that this is a terrible game or anything. It's not. But overall,if you still have your Genesis copy of "Jam",then buying this isn't really all that necessary.
3144 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game really "IS" the best game in existance. It is just wonderful, great, best...I could go on like this telling how good it is, however, I can only put 1,000 words in my review. This game almost makes it to being perfect(almost). Here are my ratings and my discription of this game.
The character selection is a downfall. The graphics are corny but cute. [Bad vibes] to the translators who removed the voices and removed the song! Yeah, for Namco in bringing us a wonderful game with cool characters. The battle system...is wierd; a near reproduction of Tales of Phantasia (ToD's predicessor).
4807 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Railroad Tycoon II" is the 1998 sequel to the 1990 classic "Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon". Even though Sid's name has jumped ship, this is a solid sequel to a great game. The premise is simple enough: Build a railroad, buy some trains, ship stuff from where it is to where it's needed. Get rich.
Give me my old dog-bone shaped SNES controller and a 12 pack of Rolling Rock. That sounds much better than waving a stick of butter around like a dying insect for hours on end.
1847 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I got this game a week ago. When I first saw this game I thought I was going to like it. When I popped the c.d in the playstation It was so darn frustrating to control croc. I only went to the dessert world. When I was in the ice world I kept losing cuz u go a long way just to get a key to save a freakin gobbo. Croc for game boy color is much better than the one for playstation. If u r looking for a really good cute, funny, fun, interesting game get Gex: Enter the gecko. What I am tring to tell u is that DON'T GET THIS GAME EVER.
However, this game falls short of Mario Kart replay glory 'cause the formula can get tired at times.
Sonic 3D Blast was isometric, not 3D.
4202 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blizzard Entertainment are one of the best that ever did it...Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft...many of which have earned game of the year status. They are all great!
7328 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I was looking for ace combat.
5251 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have enjoyed this game very much. It's fun and exciting and the story is a big step up from the previous games. Graphics wise, this game has a few improvements added but otherwise it's similiar to 2 & 3.
This game isn't too difficult, but some of the puzzles might require a peek at an online walkthrough, or use of the Artificial Intuition option.
Sure, it may not be the best as far as graphics when compared to newer games, and may not have the three-dimensionality of subsequent Myst games and many newer games, but it still holds a magical quality and the storyline can't be beat. This game is a true classic, and everyone who plays adventure games should play it. As far as storyline and puzzles go, this is what adventure games should be.
1414 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well I don't acttully have 120 stars, but that is how much you are suposse to get. But I have 95 stars! I am onyy 9 so please awnser my revies for me!
The camera angles rock. you never get lost.

4622 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Product is in excellent condition and I never played Fallout until Fallout 3 came out so I bought Fallout Tactics, Fallout 1 and this game and they all rock!
The mini games are fun, not as fun as 2 and 3 though.
1563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 TM1 is a must have for any PS1 enthusiast. If you ever owned a PS in your life spend the few bucks it takes to get a copy of twisted metal and travel back to enjoy one of the best PS titles ever!
Also this game is not a shoot-em-up action game. The idea of the game is to get by without the enemies ever knowing you were there and you are given some pretty interesting tools to accomplish this.
Metal Gear Solid hasn't aged well at all, but is still very fun and happens to be a nice collector's piece for fans of the series. But should you start here? No, grab a GameCube and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (a next-gen remake of this) instead, then grab Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance on the PS2 or the Xbox.
5704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. I love the music and the battles. My fav. part about this game is the leveling up. It only takes 1000 exp to gain a level. no more 25,574 exp to get to level 70. The magic in this game is cool too. you draw it from the monsters and can use it off of them as well. The plot is interesting and there's a lot of cool extra stuff as well.
850 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a keeper to have and I wouldn't mind playing another James Bond game, which I'm getting From Russia with Love. And that means there will be more fights to the end. I just keep playing this game over again.
5752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A lot of people gave FFVIII bad press when it came out, and I can still see bad reviews here now, I have no idea why. Comparisons to FFVII are obviously going to be made, in my opinion it falls marginally short of VII, but only slightly, not as much as some people suggest, it is still one of the greatest games ever.

7957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great condition. Thanks.
By the time of writing this, it has already been released on PSN as a digital download but if you are a Metal Gear collector ; it's always good to have the hard copy
But, do you want to get a feel for how it really was (without the gut-wrenching fear, of course) or do you just want to play another game? One thing about the
the ending made me want to cry as well....
9342 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok, this game is really fun but confusing. You choose between MAx or Goofy, or 2 players. It's an RPG and is not that fun if you think it's action an all, it's just and rpg and all. You find items and use them againts people. That's it. This game is about Pirate Peter has come to an island and you have to defeat him. It's kinda fun if you like adventure.
While many people stopped purchasing Nintendo 64 games, Rush 2 remains as an absolute delight for any racer in the world. If you're looking for a reved up time, Rush 2 is that game for you.
~Flak Cannon-Lots of little, or one big yellow shock ball hits you, does huge damage.
The second major issue, touched on above, is the fact that this story is tough to keep up with at times. I've played Crisis Core (the prequel to this game) and that helped a lot, but there are times when you are just going to be like, "what in the blue sane h*ll is going on here?" Yeah, the story is different, but different isn't always better.
Music: What was in-house early 90's mediocre electronica in the original, 2097/XL sported a healthy soundtrack that spawned an actual CD release in stores along with a 2x12 vinyl version as well. With names like Photek, Fluke, Future Sound of London, Chemical Brothers and Underworld it was a snapshot of what popular electronic music was like in the late 90's, but it didn't have that extremely dated sound. The additional tracks on the CD/Vinyl Soundtrack by Leftfield, Orbital and Source Direct were the icing on the cake.
2831 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you're trying to build up a classic PS1 collection, make sure to include this wonderful lil platformer. It may not be the quality of Crash Bandicoot, but then again not many games live up to that series.
29 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game was a rip-off. It has less terrain, less tracks, and less features than DiRT 2. The graphics are about the same. Not worth the money, at all.
Players can choose to play as either the Empire or the Rebel Alliance, choose the level of difficulty, and the amount of planetary systems that will appear in the Galactic Information Display. The tougher the level, the more systems will gravitate to the oppposite side. The object of the game, of course, is to control as much of the Star Wars galaxy as one can, with each side having ultimate victory goals that must be achieved. To be more precise, the Rebels must capture both Darth Vader and the Emperor, while at the same time taking and holding Coruscant.
All characters have voices!

Thus began my unfortunate exploration of the JRPG. (I hadn't played FF6 at this point, but I played Chrono Trigger.) The backgrounds looked nice. The music was "epic" and the sound was trash. A lot of the sound was trash. It sounds worse than a SNES game. And what's the deal with the Popeye-looking characters? But something was compelling about the game. I wanted to know what happened next.
5140 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A++++
1931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 we have every resident evil game we love the game and we love that the game was in great shape when we got it and how fast we got it
Spyros health system is unique. He has a dragonfly, of course, that follows him around. Every time Spyro takes a hit, his color changes, from yellow to blue to green. When Sparx, the dragonfly, is gone, Spyro has one hit left. Spyro can refill Sparxs health by attacking local animal fodder, which release butterflies to heal Sparx and, therefore, protect Spyro. It is a unique system.
732 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I believe the year was 1999 and I would play this game with 3 other friends all day, every day. It was like we were hooked. Proximity mines, rockets, power weapons we played it all. The single player is amazing as well. Just an all time classic that never gets old.
If you're into games at all, you have to give this a try. I've been pulled into the game completely, but others comments are keeping me away from the sequals. Buy this, the original, and prepare for an adventure you'll never forget.
For starters, in the presentation and production values department this game is just plain awesome. Not ONLY does it feature some of the best graphics ever to be found on playstation, not ONLY does it feature a branching story and changes based on your successes or failures, and not ONLY does it feature some of the best menus, menu sounds, music, and in-game cinemas to be found in any game for any system ever... it also features a built-in encyclopedia of all the star systems, planets, and ships in the game complete with voice-narration!
1255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Graphics: 10/10 - The best visuals of the series! The colours shine fantastically and it all looks stunningly beautiful. The characters are clear and the game has backgrounds I could feast on.
The game was the best I have ever tried. It makes my life harder, since I cannot find better games to play anymore. It will make you look for other adventures of Crash.
Online gamepay!
Today, the polygon graphics that were so compelling during this age of gaming do look substantially dated, and the voice acting, which was considered atrocious even when the game was new, is laughably absurd. But who couldn't use a laugh after the horrors and suspense of playing this game?
The controls are easy to get used to. I may not be as good at it as my friends, but I've spent many happy hours driving around these tracks.
65 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ZELDA! WOOT! Good quality product, love it.
The opening theme and name entry theme in particular have a very epic feeling to them that
2008 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Party is the kind of game that became an instant classic! Play it once and your hooked! If you grab three friends and play, there is no better feeling in the world. Play, what seems like endless mini-games, with either Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool (a.k.a. Peach), Wario, DK, and (my personel favorite) Yoshi! Believe me, this is a good deal for such a good game!
Every Gabriel Knight game pushes the limits of the genre by utilizing special interfaces. In Gabriel Knight 3 the special interface is a computer within the game. In addition to being vital to solving one of the main puzzles, this internal computer offers a wealth of information on a variety of subjects. You can spend hours just searching the database and reading the entires. I thought this was very cool.
That led me to think the game might be too hard for me to handle, but it turned out I just didn't have the right upgrades for my X-buster equipped (actually I didn't have ANYTHING equipped!) so when I went back to do the battle again I defeated him (her, actually) rather easily.
Soul Calibur was a launch title for the DC but you wouldn't be able to tell by the level of refinement, both in asthetics and gameplay.
7144 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While modern games often get boring and feel exactly the same throughout the entire game, donkey kong always has something new around the corner. Its so fun to go explore. While its a tiny bit dated it was ahead of its time. This game showed the the N64 was capable of. Too bad microsoft ruined the chances of us getting another donkey kong like this. Imagine what they could do if they did something similar on the Wii U and put in as much effort into that game.
None of this is helped by the looped music of each level with only three level songs total; imagine playing through eight levels with only three different songs over and over again, all of which are dwarfed by the opening song that first played.
Professional Edition: Do not waste your money. I got some weapons you can't even use in the game. It gives you the loadout at the begining and the weapons around the map are all based off that part of the game. No point in having access to the additional weapons.
6373 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nox is a fun little game. What it lacks in originality, it more than makes up for with excellent gameplay and performance. Considering how low the price is for this game now, it is definitely worth buying.
The graphics were a bit chunky and blocky at times too, and the camera angles were almost too excessively annoying, especially going around corners, where if you were the character, you would be able to see down the hall, but the view they give you on the screen is still a third person look, and you can't see down the hall until you actually start moving down it.

While I am an impatient person who gets put to sleep by other RPGs, I enjoyed Final Fantasy 8 a lot. The characters meant something to me because they were realistic looking and typical teens rather than lego people with absent mouths. This is the black sheep of the series, and not everyone will appreciate it. In my case, it will always remain a favorite. For its time, no game was more gorgeous looking and emotional, and no final battle was as long and intense. The stunning ending clocks in at around a half hour. But some people aren't bothered by the long frequent GF summons, and some are extremely bothered by them. I can understand it. As I said, it all depends what kind of person you are.
8904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have fond memories of beating Super Metroid on Super Nintendo. The graphics were amazing for its time (and still hold up on medium-sized TVs). The amount of detail and complexity of the planet Zebes still boggles my mind. If you've beaten Metroid Prime and want more, I definitely recommend downloading this game from Wii's virtual games menu and trying it out.
6863 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was a great purchase. An excellent multiplayer experience. Classic mid-90's excitement. This game is ON FIRE. And when I've been playing it, all I can think of is this: BOOM SHAKA LAKA!!!
Each have their own difficulty which I like.
it's solid... just not as good as parts 1 and 2....
394 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this when I was 12. The story was great and I played it through more times than I can remember.
The reason Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped isn't going to receive a 5-star rating from me is because of the same problem found in Spyro the Dragon- in the flying stages (in this case, the airplane stages) when you hit down on the D-pad the airplane flies UP, and hitting up will make the airplane go DOWN. The game company made the direction the wrong way! Oops. At least when you steer the airplane left, it will go left. The same with right. Unfortunately, many game makers have made, and continue to make, the same mistake. It needs to be corrected once and for all.
All in all, I recommend this game even if the system it was made for is pretty much a thing of the past.
The quests pile up a lot more quickly than in Diablo, as well. It's difficult to get through the first two villages without being accosted by half-a-dozen villagers needing tasks performed. That keeps things moving along.
664 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If they made more games like this, I'd be a pauper. Intelligent, funny, easy to use, easy to solve, and no bloody chess problems. It's also thought-provoking, gorgeous, well-written, and as believable as talking skeletons and elevator demons can make it. One of my favorites that I play over and over again. One caveat: At least one puzzle seems to be tied to processor speed, so if you have a fast machine you'll need to download a patch from the manufacturers' website. Well worth the trouble, though.
Overall, a good game with good levels and graphics! Don't buy this though because you'll get tired of it really fast. I recommend you rent it a few times. Then you'll be satisfied.

8253 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh man, this game is just great. The best sound out of any other Doom, and considering it is for the SNES,the graphics aren't bad either, but if you just got done playing Playstation 2 you will be suffering from a collosal eyesore. This game brings back the joy of releasing anger onto monsters with a Shotgun, hey, it's a guilty pleasure. Just get it!!!
Have fun.
Graphics- 7/10
6784 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic, arguably the best on the Genesis! Fun for 2 players on the couch!
8681 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had so much fun with this game and it was great now a days getting drunk and us trying to play it we had a blast
Best played with friends for a good laugh and fictional duels (could Luke kill his sister?)
1516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super funny game. A little raunchy but hilarious all the while. May not be appropriate for younger kids. The story is fun to play yet predictable.
9045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who knew a game with primates would be so fun??? Well this is one of my favorite games of all time and thousands of others. You may ask why? Blow the dust off your Super Nintendo(if you still have it) and pop it in. Look at the beautiful character models and backgrounds as Donkey Kong is beating his chest. Listen to the brillant songs of the jungle. Still not convinced. Play the game. You'll enter a vibrant jungle world, a frozen winter world, and a polluted industry world just to name a few of the worlds in the game. Oh and if you forgot, SNES is the best system ever so you know its a good game. Nuff said.
3. Lifespan- I heard that people who knows Zelda games really well could beat this in a week. But you guys out there that is starting a new adventure, would last forever for no boring parts of the game. There is a lot of words to say, but its worth it.
Are there good points to Batman Forever? Sure, but even they come with an asterisk. For instance, the game has some decent animations and is actually quite visually appealing. But the levels themselves are repetitive, utilizing the same backgrounds and designs constantly. The game looks good I just wish there were more of it to look at. The level design also isn't enough to actually distract you from the same constant backgrounds appearing constantly. It also takes just a little too long to explore every nook and cranny of the game. Each level grades you on whether you could find all the secrets in a stage or defeated all the enemies and the like. Completing these tasks rewards you with extra lives but the game is so simple you won't need them... and these tasks needlessly pad out the game to a length it simply doesn't need to be. There are no greater rewards for doing so. All it does is prolong what will already feel like a long experience.
The part everyone wants to know about though is the gigantic ship battles, and man they can get epic. There's nothing like seeing 100 Rebel ships do battle with the same number of Imperial ones, and engagements can run up to 30 minutes. The graphics of these battles are a little dated by today's standards, but still seeing a Calamari Cruiser turn sideways to exchange broadsides with a Star Destroyer is a sight to see. Fighters swarm around the whole time sniping at enemy fighters or helping engage the big capital ships. There's different options for your ships to maneuver into position for attacks, but as far as I can see they're for the most part pointless as both fleets typically run straight for the other and begin duking it out.
2002 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In 1997, Nintendo was on the cutting edge in the video gaming industry. The Nintendo 64 proved that no mateer what a CD-ROM gaming system was able to do, a cartridged based gaming system could do better. That June, the case really proved the theory with the release of Starfox 64. The game was the very first to incorporate Nintendo's Rumple Pak, a force-feedback device that let's players feel each and every vibration at hand.
Quake 3 style weaponry? You bet! From the simple phaser to the anti Borg gun, these pack a real punch! Raven have done a great job!
8328 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's not bad, although it is a bit challenging.
5. Sonic 1: Master system.
3436 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I sold my dreamcast years ago and had regretted it ever since. I was pleased with this purchase and it has worked well so far.
9. There is a password you have to enter to enable gore so that kids are protected.
I do have some minor gripes with the game. Some of the vehicles have strange stat lines, some of them having much more weight to them than what they actually look like. The controls are reasonably tight, but just a few vehicles require getting used to as they just don't feel like they look.
Its hard to take this gory game seriously if that douche bag Dan Fordan's big fat head keeps popping out saying "Toasty." I wouldn't be a damn bit surprised if I saw Charley Sheen pop-out of the corner and say; "Already got your money dude."
7149 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game is very playable, but the game gets tougher and more challenging as you progress. The game is worth playing, whether or not you like the 1995 movie
In the first Streets of Rage, there was generally one side-scrolling scene per level, and the boss was at the end of the road/ship/room/whatever. Streets of Rage 2 beefs it up by having sub-bosses at the end of each scene, but yet amazingly they seem to keep the perfect balance of difficulty and entertainment so that you're neither bored nor frustrated.
I actually learned about weapons as a kid from this game. Real world weapons are in here and some that I have never seen in any other game before. The weapons are almost a character all on their own because they feel so good to shoot in the game. The K3G4 will cut through flak jackets easily and is probably the only weapon that will do this. The G18 is a super fast sub-machine pistol, while the silenced 9mm is a staple of the series. The shotgun, combat shotgun, PK-102, BIZ-2, Nightvision Rifle, .45, HK5, and a few more are all excellent weapons. It was also the distinct sounds the developers used that make these guns so memorable. The game has a great sniper scope that was unseen in games back then. There are grenades and gas grenades which are great for taking out a group of enemies stealthily. There are a lot of great weapons in the game and they are very memorable unlike most shooters.
WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
5670 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is absolutley awesome. My friend burned a copy for me and I've been addicted ever since. The last guy is so hard, I still haven't beaten him. The graphics and sound are amazing. The guns are cool, the enemies are inteligent, the game is phat.
Many people complain that there has to be something bad about the game. Saldy there is, yet it's self explanatory. The only real problem is the games graphics. For example, some parts of a charcters arm look like boxes. Yet we can't forget the age of this game. Also, the system it uses. PS1 doesn't have the best graphics ever, and the PC wasn't as develpoed as it is today. Other than that, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you buy this game.
to Altered Beast:
6771 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Amazingly good adaptation. A timeless classic of gaming.
these games are awesome! do yourself a favor and buy the whole series
To start off, this game is gorgeous. It's backdrops are stunningly real and complex, its movement quality is superb, and William Birkin, the big baddie is designed better than most Hollywood creations I have seen. True, I would be lying if I didn't admit to the game's visuals as being outdated by today's standard; shattering glass and blood effects do look rather silly today. However, coming out only a couple of months after Final Fantasy VII, one can see a character model boost. Once one person said that graphics become outdated, but art remains the same -- these locations aren't polygons, or large sprites, they're coplete sets!
On a flight back from Celebration VI in Orlando a spotted one of these being played by a couple in the next seat forward and knew I had to get my hands on another one! Luckily, found a great price for one in great condition here on Amazon. Next task is to restock on some GBC games at the next Con I attend. I'm happy to have a Gameboy again!
6424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fun, thought provoking game that will have you playing for hours. This game can be played by almost anyone. You can either put a lot of effort into planning your next move against the enemy or just barge your way on through. The only downside is that over time this game becomes a little boring with having the same buildings and people. But there is a solution. The expansion pack is also an excellent game and it just adds to your now experienced game stragedies. Both games are highly recommended
476 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it was just as described
5458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 got this and it is a classic love it and must buy for anyone who still has a ps1 i could play it for hours
The product worked as expected.
I save the worst for last Big the cat. His levels are just a fishing mini-game. There's nothing special at all, just a boring fishing game, way to go sonic team.
2704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the Great Games to have ever come out. It is not enough to even call it a true "classic". It's not only an absolute top quality puzzle-style game, but it has a great story, unique and original characters and settings, and beautiful graphics. And just the originality of that beautiful new world, "mythology", and fantastic concepts make this game a cut above the rest!
3933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game, is the best game, absolute best game, ever released on computer. It revolves around the original SW movies, set just after the destruction of the first Death Star at Yavin. You control everything, characters, fighters, troopers, ships, it is superb. The gameplay takes a little getting used to, but after a while it is easy. There is so much to this game, you control things, send your fleets where you want them, transport your characters and send them on missions, move rebel headquarters, everything. You deploy mines and refineries to make production materials, then build either ships, troops or facilties from those materials, then use those ships to take over more planets. There's so much I can't explain it all here, but it is brilliant, a must for all SW fans.

By virtue of this narrative, the player is afforded the opportunity to jump freely (after gaining the technology) from any of four worlds. The worlds are quite disparate and very beautifully rendered. It does take some time and effort to obtain the technology, but the process of doing so is engaging, interesting, logical, and rewarding.
3449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the third game in the series (though it was not intended to be, that was supposed to be Code Veronica, but whatever) and it is the third best. And that is NOTHING to be ashamed of.
1006 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent game all around except one thing....
This game becomes sterling in multiplayer though, and if you ever wanted to play a strategy game on an almost epic level, this is definitely a game you want to check out. A human will almost invariably play by different strategies than the computer will, and oftentimes you'll find different and sometimes very unique methods employed for winning. My brother tends to build zillions of fighters on each planet he owns, making capital ship conquest almost impossible to accomplish without matching the number of fighters in your own fleet. My nephew builds heavily into Capital ships with a mixed escort screen, basically heavy on planetary bombardment. I tend to make a mixture of the two aiming for a well rounded task force. And when Turn 5000 hits and you're still grappling for control of the galaxy with your opponent, well let's say that it never wears down on you. If ever you get a chance to build a Death Star, do it. It is an incredible rush to build one secretly, moving it suddenly and unexpectedly into your opponents main manufacturing planets' orbit, and then hitting "Destroy Planet", watching half of his shipbuilding capability go up in a blaze of smoke and rubble.
Beautifully made and timeless - no wonder the movie gurus have nicked it for the big screen.
You are a monster tamer, in the tradition of your father. You must make your way deeper and deeper into the mysterious tower near town, to find fortune and achieve your destiny. Each trip into the tower puts you at the beginning -- but your animals retain their skills. You also can keep weapons and other items you find, but if you die, they are lost.
Overall
318 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased these for my Wii as Nintendo no longer produces Wavebird controllers by virtue of them being sued by a patent owner over the technology. I didn't want to pay for a used Wavebird on eBay, so I bought some of these. I sit back from my HDTV about 9 feet so I needed these for the wired Gamecube controllers and they work very well. Even with Mario Kart Wii, there is some lag with the Wavebird, but there is no lag with these extension cables. Highly recommended!
There are alot of enamys to fight(Alot more than in tomb raider, wich seems like a walk in the park compared to this), and you need to fight enamys, atleast untill you get the soul reaver, because in the material realm your energy(Health) slowly runs out, and you need to consume the souls of your enamys. The fighting works like this; first you attack your enamys with normal attacks(Square button) untill they are stunned, than, before they recover, you must attack them with a fatal blow(Triangle button), they than die and there souls(Look like balls of blue light, or mini comets floating around) leave there bodys, you can then consume the souls before they go into the spectral realm(Were they will be if you go there). You have a large collection of weapons with wich to do this. Your bare hands, or claws:You first slash them than pick them up and through them into fire or water, sunlight or onto spikes on walls. You can burn them with torches, impale them on spear, OR, you have your ultiment weapon, the soul reaver(Basicly a sword of spiritual energy that you hit enamys with). You also have magic powers, or glyphs, these include powers like the shift Glyph(You start out with this, it allows you to go between Material and Spetre), Or stone or sunlight. There are alot of puzzles to figure out, however they can be chalenging(And get repetitive). The problems are: Some times Awkward camera angles, Often time no sense of direction, Puzzles can be chalenging(You will find yourself wandering about wondering what to do, very often)though that is not a magor flaw, The soul reaver turns off if you get only slightly hurt. But aside from those flaws, its a great game, don't listen to the negative reviews, all I have told you is what the game really is like, so order this game, or go out and buy it, you won't be sorry.
6362 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, I had the choice of buying this or Starlancer. The graphics in Starlancer looked better, the box was better, it looked more impressive, but one thing made me buy Tachyon....the DON. I will just say this now, Bruce Campbell is such a dude. Army of Darkness has the funniest lines in any film ever, and I didn't want to miss out on any other potential classics, I got a very decent game into the bargain as well. Less linear, which I prefer, this game has such a great sense of humour and depth to it which could so easily almost be overlooked. For example, a little fact that would be overlooked I'm sure, every single news bulletin has it's own specific pictures or animation, and considering the amount of news bulletins throughout the game this just goes to show Novalogic weren't slacking. I can see how some people would criticize it, calling it mediocre, because of it's old look and feel. However, in my opinion, older games are the best, and I'm so glad that Novalogic have gone back to basics almost, swapping revolution for a great gaming experience. Bruce Campbell doesn't disappoint as Jake Logan, and the whole game is very tight. It also has one of the best manuals ever. Buy, enjoy, also buy Army of Darkness. I love that film.
One thing I liked about this game the most is you needed skill more than luck to win. You didn't have blue shells or clouds hampering your progress. I have to say,even now at 28, it is still one of my all time favorites.
There are several excellent websites (free) that can help out in many ways and provides a TON of helpful information on all aspects of the game. This gives you a resouce if you feel you've come up against a "dead-end" This is good as the game hasn't been supported by the publisher for many years.
8154 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Many people are tired of Mega Man and his dozens of games, but those people are also missing out on a great gaming experience. This is one of his best and it would be a shame to pass up. Sure the gameplay is basically the same as before, but what's wrong with that? The graphics and sound are still great and the story is more serious than other games in the series. Don't miss out on this.

1487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Over the past few years, I have experienced many DOOM ports, and most of them were failures. Big failures. But before I go into the review, I'll tell what I expected out of this game. I expected this to be highly intense, packed full of action, and it to be faster than the original PC versions. But did this really live up to be what everyone expected? Answer is... heck yeah! This port is somewhat better than the PC versions. It has higher resolution, much more faster, and even scarier than the PC versions. People kept complaining that " Oh my god, this music sucks!" Well, in case you didn't know, it wasn't supposed to be that weird music. This totally fits the feeling of the game. Another thing they say is " They should have just made a direct port from the PC to the Playstation. Wow, do we really need another PC port DOOM? I don't think so. They have made a billion other PC ports. We really do need another, huh( sarcastic)? So you see, this game did live up to people's expectations. At least it did for me. Yet some people might beg to differ. So grab this game today and have some bloody fun!
Bad mouthing?
Gorgeous graphics, stunning for its time.
5421 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one classic game right here. I hadn't played this game for years. If you are into Mortal Kombat this game is worth owning so go buy it now!
The game play was where this game left many people wanting. The junction system had quite a steep learning curve, and no matter how much work I did with the cast nobody ever did 9999 damage without the aid of a GF summon. While I enjoyed the Guardian Force Summons and never tired of them many people did not and wanted to skip them. The option to do so would have been nice. I also wish that the characters could learn skills and such without having to have a GF equipped. The game is too reliant on summons and it would have been nice to have the characters have strengths and weaknesses on their own.
Another great addition to SOTN is the spells. You are able to buy magic scrolls from the merchant, which contain button combinations of how to perform different spells. Everything from health regeneration to summoning souls for a quick attack on the enemy, with ease! with this merchant comes my one and only gripe. In this game you only have the choice to sell of different gems, zircon, aquamarine, garnet, and so on. Toward the end of the game a relic which duplicates any item use becomes available, the only problem? its 500,000 dollars! seeign that the most valuable gem, the diamond, only pulls 20,000 bucks, it takes quite a logn time to find all the money for this item. I thought being able to sell off old, useless weapons, armor, and accesories would have helped this problem a long a bit better than simply wandering the castle for cash.
still is the greatest. It starts out simple. You are a Scientist

An achievement that should not be ignored and is still as much fun today as it was a decade (DECADE?!!?) ago.
4592 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not as good as the first game but definitely a great game!
-The music in this game is just plain fun to listen to!!
Overall, this is a challenging but very interesting game that players with some tactical skill will really enjoy.

my Nintendo 64 video games. But I am very concerned about my
4327 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Outlaws is a first person shooter set in the wild west. The story line is you play the hero and have to rescue your daughter from the villan. Built on a dated engine with wonky physics, Dated graphics and a 2.5D design. Very dull gameplay with no atmosphere and a box of rocks AI. Gameplay is nothing but shoot the baddies, Find key, Open door, Shoot more baddies, Find another Key ect ect. Outlaws is very dissapointing.
Got Popuri to a blue heart- I love this game!!!
Cons: Load time (the SNES plays the games a lot faster and smoother). Outdated Graphics (you will learn to appreciate the game though).
Complex problem solving skills (as much as marksmanship or bullet-saving) are crucial in this game - in which your enemies have above-average levels of AI. There are unfortunately times when a level may be hung up by the failure to achieve some specific mission-goal, but this is on the whole a game in which the goals are sufficiently complex to make you feel cool for achieving them, yet not so complex as to be impossible to solve. The game's settings are fantastic - from the vast to claustrophobic. The game is long - uncommitted gamers may find it tedious - but the scope of design here rewards those who keep up with it.
8386 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I am a true Star Wars fan and I collect everything and love all the movies but this was definatley not an enjoyable game. Sadley the gameplay did not come natural, so there was a learning curve. The graphics were behind the times and character movement was horribloe. I even often found AT-ST getting stuck up against a wall and unmoveable - a total frustrating moment. Yes this is Star Wars and yes it is great on that respect. However compare it to any RTS that came out a few years prior to it and you would be still dissapointed. I'm sure Lucasarts will try again soon, hopefully...
9350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the MOST CHALLENGING game i have EVER PLAYED. i have had it for years now and i am not even half way through the game yet. its so hard but also so much fun to play. its a classic.
Graphics (10/10): Well, by today's standards, the graphics aren't so good. However, for their time, they deserved a 10 out of 10. There's something about seeing a character in 3-D (albeit rather blocky 3-D) that helps you identify more easily with the characters, and even though we now have such advanced graphics with current gen systems, I still find FF7 completely playable and not too hard on the eyes.
The semi-sequel to this, Fallout: Tactics, was very disappointing in its linearity. They need to make more games like the first two Fallouts that can engage you not by shoving you around toward a set goal, but simply letting you play. And doing it so well you want to come back time and time again without repeating the same story more than once.
I have bought over 5 copies of the game since it came out (lost some CD's, some got scratched-up), and it is the only game that I have had installed on my computer for over 5 years. I may not play it as much as I did before, but the assurance that the universe of Starcraft is only a few clicks away is worth it.
Super Mario World is great fun for anyone of any age.
6653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're buying Oregon Trail from The Learning Company, get Oregon Trail II. This is the definitive version of the game, and despite being over 20 years old, it's still a lot of fun and entirely playable, which cannot be said for later editions, especially the utterly broken 5th Edition that somehow managed to get a major release a few years back. If you can find a working copy of this game (this is a newer release which worked with XP), it's highly recommended...otherwise, avoid the later editions and seek your Oregon Trail fix elsewhere.
Overall, this is the best First Person Shooter that I've ever played (think Goldeneye 007, and then improve it in almost every way), and one of the best and most complete experiences I've ever had. The only real letdown is the insane AI as you move on.
Let's not forget that DR2 is still a real-time strategy (RTS) game. And there are plenty of classic RTS's that it will be compared to. The original Dark Reign is an obvious choice. So is the now-classic Starcraft, which is the true benchmark that any Science-fiction RTS must aspire to. Starcraft had an excellent storyline, but the unit control was too primitive. Dark Reign 2 has the opposite problem - a poorly thought out single-player storyline but excellent unit controls.

6667 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In good condition. Plays perfectly.
8670 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have a lot of good memories of this game. It's fast, furious and addicting! The graphics can get a little stale, but since you're moving so fast, you probably won't notice it. I don't really have a lot of gripes with this game. My main one is that I would love to race against a friend. I can't do that because this is a one player game only. Also, once you have mastered the game, there's nothing else to do. A two players mode could have prolonged the experience. All in all, I still say give this game a chance as it's fun and there's not many games like it on the SNES. 4 out 5!
Plot (romance) - I actually cared about Squall and Rinoa getting together in the end and If you know me, I'm not big on that sentimental ....
My only complaint is that the jump pack should have been built into the original controller. This feature is near standard in all games and it seems like a crass money grab by Sega to force you to buy a second device.
The download would be better for me for 3 reasons: It can never be lost, stolen, and the game is saved onto a
The object of the game is not to kill the other person but to knok him of the stage far enouph that he won't be able to jump back to the stage.
Castlevania Legacy of Darkness
FINAL SCORE: 9.2/10
521 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 They took what was great about the first and somehow made it twice as good. These games are still great for people looking for a challenge, but I would advise first-time players to play the series in order, as each game builds up from the hardest point of the previous one by making difficult-to-learn skills from the previous one rudimentary things you NEED to know in order to play the next, as well as adding a bunch of new tricks and surprises. But, even though there isn't as much actual "Tomb Raiding" in this one, it is definitely a step up from the previous version. Also includes an awesome bonus level at the end where Lara's house is raided by a Mafia strike team. Although, does not include the other bonus levels from the extended version of the game. (The extended version has two more levels, but it's only for the PC)
NO SAVES
8737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart is an exclusive SNES game which features many of the familiar characters that make Nintendo the best developer in the world. Race on tracks against an opponent or the computer, or battle it out in battle mode using heat seeking shells or banana peels among many other projectiles. This game is great fun for any age and it is one of the best games made for the SNES. This fact is obvious due to the demand for each new version that has come after this one. Battle mode is one of the most exciting and fun features of this game and I still play it often today. If you run into this at a gameshop pick it up, you won't be sorry.
8493 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although the first game was my first and favorite Donkey Kong game I have ever played and I will never grow tired of it despite that I have said those folks I still will say that this sequel is even more entertaining than the first one and also more intense levels to play through I could recommend this game to Donkey Kong fans out there and also people who love to play addicting games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System I will also say this is one of the few games that I could never get tired of playing and I can always play this over and over and I could never grow old from it this is a must-have For the Super Nintendo system
4198 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is without a doubt one of the best games ever made, and what a DEAL at 19.99 for the whole set! This game's single player is very enjoyable, and you'll also enjoy countless hours of free online play (provided you have a decent internet connection).
Story: You play as Alex from the town of Burg who wants to become just like the Dragonmaster Dyne. But an encounter with a Dragon has Alex, his pet dragon Nall and friend Luna on a quest to save the world where they'll be taken to floating cities and different cities to save the world of Lunar. Again it's not the most deepest and complex RPG plot but like a lot of classic fairytales and fantasy stories, there's a wide appeal for the story simply because of the charming characters and just the general atmosphere of the game.
The CONS: The graphics are decent but could have benefited from using the expansion pack. Instead, they are basic but because of the action, you won't pay attention to it at first. The camera is your worst enemy throughout the entire game. You're in total control of it which means you must turn it left or right whenever you face off against enemies and traps. The camera doesn't turn on its own and if you're not careful, you'll walk into enemy fire/laser beam traps and won't see it coming. You get used to it but it's a real chore. The multi-player mode is fun for quick matches but isn't as fleshed out like the multi-player mode in Goldeneye 007 or Perfect Dark. Also, you do a lot of backtracking; many times you will walk through sections already cleared so repetition sets in every so often. While there are 32 stages altogether (including boss encounters), it is spread out through 4 areas so don't expect a lot of variety in the background.
7302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is full of great stuff for anyone. With 30 machines to race with, you are bound to find one suited to your racing style. It has 3 starter "cups", serieses of 6 courses with the 29 other racers, and 3 difficulty levels. Beating the same cup on all 3 levels will get you a new row of machines to race with (you start with 6). Once the starter cups have all been beaten on standard difficulty, the "Joker" cup will appear. It is another set of 6 courses, much more advanced than the others. The 3 starter cups, plus the "Joker" cup must be completed on all 3 difficulty levels before all 30 machines will be available. Then, the "Master" difficulty level will come up, and it is EXTREMELY hard to beat, with all of your rivals in the games storyline attack you and basically do anything they can to stop you from winning. Altogether, this is a gem of a game, with lots of game play variety, multiplayer, and one player. This is definitely the best racing game made for the N64, and is strongly recommended.
(12) usual opponents from FALLOUT are turned on their head; the enemy isn't always the enemy;
On the down side, the game can bog down horribly, to the point where literally several seconds can go by between your actions. There have already been two patches, in the first two weeks, and rumor has it another patch is on the way. The online gaming, via Battlenet is often down, and even when you can get connected, there is often severe lag (on top of the slow down I already mentioned), and often you will lose your connection.
9601 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When Square realeased Final Fantasy Tactics after it's monumental success in Final Fantasy VII, it recieved some very harsh critisim for it's poor translation, among other things. But, Final Fantasy Tactics built a strong fan base, and I'm sure many still replay it today.
The online game experience is VERY GOOD. Possibly better than Unreal Tournament, and that is saying a lot. Very tactical, great items and teamplay and using your brain for a change.
9837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is similar to nes version but it's very good game and the levels are very nice and the boss is the challenge.

I like the way the Pokemon game challenges kids. I suggest also buying one of the books which shows the various routes and places. This allows kids to work at the tasks without getting frustrated.
-Dawn Of Sorrow (DS)
I actually find the Japanese version of the levels very satisfying and much more challenging. Some unusual effects will happen, such as Mario/Luigi jumping off a trampoline and into the air off screen for a couple of seconds, entering a "negative" warp pipe that brings you back several worlds (i.e., instead of going FORWARD), or seeing Goombas walking in the water levels.
This is all just about the amount the space and are to build in but all the other aspects are just as great. You can create the wackiest and fastest roller coaster of your choice, there are no limits but i do advise you to test it before you open it to the public as you may well have a few accidents!
Came as described , brand new factory sealed.
i love how i got my brother (who's 17 so he never play any NES or SNES games only N64 and beyond) got into the game as well. although its super funny to see him get frustrated playing these games, it brings fond memories of me playing super nintendo.
334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With the amount of interference I kept getting with the wireless controllers, I was stuck far too close to the TV to enjoy many of the visual aspects of the classics. This cable extension cord made playing some of my old Gamecube games just as fun as the day it came out. A big must have if you can't get the wireless format to work properly.
4851 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I rented this game from blockbuster and hated it. I played it for about three minutes then turned it off. The graphics are pukey, the controls are pukey, the sound is pukey, and everything around it is pukey. Don't rent it, don't buy it. Thank You.
The general layout for the interface is well done - you probably can't go too wrong with this after all of these years of strategy games. People have pretty much figured out what works and what doesn't work. However, how many strategy games let you zoom in and out and around as much as you wish with the observer camera? Your map shows the general location of troops and bases, and within that map you have complete control of your camera - zoom in close to the action, from floor level. Look high overhead a full assault. Follow along behind your troops as if you were really there!
Through lush jungles and waterfalls, mountain terrains and fire-drenched underground areas, you have to guide Mufasa and Simba to the top of the mountain in 6 or 7 different stages while mainly climbing rocky platforms the entire way. Mufasa and Simba have several moves to defend themselves against the enemy danger such as the ability to claw-punch, jumping on top of enemies and a certain flip move to toss enemies over your head which is necessary to complete the game. On a side note I love the realistic looking animation we see of the lions holding onto the side and climbing platforms. Really neat. Their facial expressions are believable too which is why I recommend standing them still for a moment so you can admire them. The animation is seriously magnificent throughout this game.
2508 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Honestly, there's nothing good about this game. The graphics are NOT at all what the playstation console has the ability for. The graphics are more like Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo or even the atari rather than the Playstation. If you like games with good graphics, do not get this game.
When you talk about Mario, the first things that come to mind are go-karts and side-scrolling platform action. Super Mario World grabs the platform genre, puts it on growth enhancer, and takes it to whole new levels of fun while building on the legend that was created after Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES.
7983 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rare finally closed the DKC series with this title, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Released in 1996, it was one of the last games to appear on the SNES as the Nintendo 64 made its debut and everyone was moving onto it and the Playstation. Don't let the naysayers cast a shadow over DKC 3; it's a good game that while it isn't better than Diddy's Kong Quest, it is worthy to being part of the fantastic SNES series.
Graphics (9/10) - The environments in this game look spectacular. The great use of color and detail, and the flat shading on Crash's character model really blend well together to make a game that aged very well.
2ndly it was a N64 RPG, which I don't remember there being many.
If you want an inexpensive yet interesting adventure this is the game for you.
I don't even need to tell the story. What's happened? The same traditional story: Bowser kidnaps Princess Toadstool,
4736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A miserable little pile of AWESOME!!!
OVER ALL THIS GAME GETS A 5 OUT OF 5...GREAT GAME...I LOVED IT...
My only beef is with the Tekken Ball stage and the side-stepping. Tekken Ball is just silly. It does nothing for your characters, it's decidedly simple, it's . . . well, it's a little kid's game stuck in the middle of a rather bloody 3D fighter. It just doesn't seem to fit with everything else.
The Joe Pesci criminal types are perfect. I haven't finished the game yet and I'm trying to savor the fun. Definitely worth the money...ENJOY!
Max Payne is a huge game. By the end you'll have killed hundreds of people in your quest for the truth. It's plenty of action. Even though by today's standards the graphics look a little dated, it was top of the line for its time, with reflective floor surfaces and flying wall debris.
466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From all the fighting video games around Street Fighter has always been the mother of all. From it's beginning it has been a game who deserves admiration and if it did good as a 2D game it did way better as 3D.This game gives us the opportunity to enjoy SF even more with a lot new things such as great graphic,combos that will blow your mind,lots of new options and lots of characters to chose from. It brings us a whole new SF with the same stuffs we like. Old characters in their 3D version which is just perfect and a whole new cast all with their uniques techniques. This game has new options never seen before in any other SF game. The arcade,versus,Team,ect,modes are all new and better. This game offers you a great deal of exitement as you spend more time playing it. By far,one of the most revolutionary and why not controversial among fans from all the SF games. Buy it,play it for 2 or 4 hours and I guarantee you this game got nothing to envy other SF games.
2895 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love this game , a little disappointed i didn't wait for the ps4 version though to be honest. its supposed to be 1000x better, but if u cant afford a ps4 get this.
1) The vibration feedback is extremely sensitive !!! You feel every bump and hit that you give your opponent.
The whole purpose of Perfect Dark, is obviously it's amazing multiplayer mode. You can add up to eight simulants to the game, with varying degrees of difficulty (Darksim, don't even try and play him, you'll lose 90% of the time). There are quite a few well designed levels, and tons of killer weapons.
Aladdin is perhaps the most balanced of all of Virgin's side scrollers. You have lots of enemies to fight, but you have ranged attacks ala Jungle Book plus a sword for close-range attacks. The jump puzzles are more forgiving than Cool Spot, and the level design is more forgiving than Lion King. The music is fantastic. The "cut-scenes" are just a picture with text, which is probably the weakest design element.
However, I would strongly suggest purchasing the Half-Life Anthology set instead of this version at this point, simply because it is far cheaper. The Half-Life Anthology set also includes the Half-Life expansions known as Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life: Blue Shift. While the expansions aren't nearly as widely loved as the original Half-Life, you can get both them AND the original Half-Life in the Half-Life Anthology pack available on Steam as a digital download for a far cheaper price (around 14 bucks).
A blend of platforming and racing, lots of familiar characters, good controls... this game is well made.
The game begins innocently in a monastery but the plot gets so involved this game took me 100 hours to beat and it's the 3rd best RPG I've ever played. I thought Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics were a little better and their plots were more thought provoking but Baldur's still has a great plot. This is a lot better than that Diablo Blizzard developed. The ability to go into towns and take them over by force with Drizzt is something no other game has either. The police are a great addition too. The ability to go back through the game as a different class gives this game almost unlimited replayability. All in all, pass up Diablo and Diablo II and get this and Baldur's Gate II
-Since the speed dash ability isn't here yet, the game will seem a bit slower-paced than all the others. Just to warn any newcomers.
Collecting gold and improving your units is still as enjoyable as ever, and there are a number of ways in which you can attack an enemies base: contrary to some views, Warcraft 2 is NOT simply a "rush-attack" game. SOME of the levels in the original game can be defeated using the rush strategy, but the expansion levels are harder, and you have to try different tactics. Basically, I found the expansion levels to be very similar to playing the custom scenarios, in that the enemy attacks more, has multiple bases, and can usually only be effectively stopped by building a series of Guard Towers and Cannon Towers to protect your base.
While the visuals are great I think what really makes the difference in this game is the sound. I think this game takes full advantage of having 32 channels of audio, and if it doesn't it sure does sound like it. Every location you go to is filled with environmental sounds. This more than anything else sucks you into the setting. Add to that the occasional cues from the Vangelis soundtrack (which mixes in perfectly by the way), PLUS the incredible voice acting, and the audio experience in breathtaking. Even with two speakers it's incredible. Add some surround sound and you will get lost in the game.
7138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite spy game in the world. It's based in the near future where there is flying cars, UFOs, and anything else futuristic you can think of. It has awesome weapons, a creative variety of characters, an interesting story and many levels to complete. To top it all off, if you don't like playing major missions alone, invite a friend to play co-op or activate how many simulants (up to 3)that you want to help you out. However it's more fun with a human player. Also, there are crazy combinations of multiplayer combat. You can have up to 4 human players and 8 simulants and give them a specific personality. Believe me when I say that it gets crazy! It's a game that will forever be a Nintendo classic! Perfect Dark Zero may have better graphics, but Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64 has the best story and gameplay! I recommend this game to those who like Bond, but feels there is something important missing - the whole idea of Perfect Dark is what is missing.
Superb Visuals on the DC
The story? Well, it's science gone awry of course! A scientist does not want his experiment stolen, so he releases it onto himself and kills his attackers, then the experiment is released accidently as rats drink up the remains of a broken vial. As rats tend to do, they spead the disease and the city is covered in zombies. A girl named Clare (who is dressed inappropirately for a zombie outbreak, but well enough for a frat party) comes into town searching for her brother. Leon arrives too, a rookie cop eager to start his new profession, only to find his fellow officerse are now shambling through the streets killing anything that moves and breaths. Sure, you could find a similar plot in a Scy-Fy channel budget movie, but this game executes the story so well! There are zombies, mutant monsters, and a Frankenstein Monster-like monster called Mr. X. That big Trench Coat Guy was so menacing... my mother was watching me play one day and the big guy exploded out of a wall, surprising my mother, and forever more he would be called Mr. OH S***! Ah... fond memories...
The animation is excellent (I'm in school to be one, I know these things), the storyline great, and the action nonstop. My friends love to watch me play, and we pretty much react as if we're watching a movie. ("No! Don't go there! AAAAGHHH!")
12. The way the game takes all these cheap shots at you: you can't look ahead because your radar is "jammed" and then you get shot by a security camera. Or blown up by a mine.
Here is where I have to get in to the demerits of this game. First off, the voice acting is not very good; but it's not the worst I've heard either. And the sequences of dialogue are long and boring. The characters simply stand in place and wave their hands about. NPC interaction is left to a few choices which really have little baring on the outcome of the game. Nothing as rich and detailed as Planescape: Torment.
The graphics are so so. They're not terrible but they're not exactly beautiful either.
But two things make this game playable for years - Battle.net and the editor. I remember when I was in 11th grade and talked all my friends into buying Starcraft. We would come home after school and play from 4 until 10 or 11. In the end, we would just call each other and say "Craft?" and the other person would answer either "yes" or "no" and then we would proceed to play if "yes" was said. Then as the creative juices start to flow, the editor is available to create entire campaigns, or just one map. It adds to the longetivity of this game.
I would recommend this game not simply as one of the most entertaining titles you'll ever pick up, but also as a work of art, a glimpse at the intersection between gaming and literature.
6504 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Two great Final Fantasy games for you to play on your PS1 or PS2. Came in great condition with manuals. Two of the best Square-Enix games ever made.. must play games for any RPG fan.
963 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has to be one of the best multiplayer games created for the Nintendo 64. This kind of game is great for all ages. I'm 18 years old and my friends and I still, to this day, continue to play Mario kart. It is a perfect racing game that has great sound effects and can keep you entertained for hours. You can play it by yourself, but to get the true experience of this game its best to play it with others. There is really no story line to the game, just a bunch of maps and characters to choose to race with. If you get bored of racing over and over again, there are several mini games, known as battle games, to choose from. Honestly, I like playing the battle games more than I like racing because its fun to take down your friends and family! So, overall I would definitely say get this game if you don't have it! It is a must buy for avid Nintendo 64 users!
7220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best fsg in the world. Lots of missions on different difficulties will make you play this game over and over. Multiplayer is way more advanced than goldeneye which makes it easier to setup and more extras for multiplayer to. So go buy this game it is a must.
764 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Enjoying playing this game with no complaints. Met my expectations and would do business again with this seller again.
Classic fighting game. Namco did something right here. They created a perfect fighting game. This was an arcade, but didn't get any attention like the great Teken series.
5. FF X-2
Really,I recommend this game,no matter what kind of game genre is that you play,you'll love this one!!.
First, the game has nearly flawless control. This is significant, since many computer users, only work with a mouse and keyboard. Second, as an RTS (real time strategy game), the game has been patched, to keep up a finely tuned balance between forces. Due to strong after purchase support, the smallest bugs, have been rooted out of the game in subsequent, game patches. Third, the game has "mucho" replayability! I've played single missions over, and over, just to try the different strategies. The diversity of units is done so well, that many strategies exist in multi-player as well. Fourth, due to the easy to work game editor, there are many different games, produced by the players. Some are just battle, and others are detailed RPG style games, while still others, reinvent the term: "All Out War".
TA has several elements that several RTS games did not have at the time, and still do not have, or rarely have. Here are a few.
Overall this is a DISAPPOINTING attempt at a fighting game. The concept is good but the fighting engine is flawed. Powerstone 2 got it right and is a blast, read my review!
hit or even the 16 bit Genesis version.
It goes without saying that the move-sets in this game are also very limited. Each wrestler only has about 6 to 7 different moves for you to use until you begin getting bored. Ultimately, once you've played one match, you've played them all. Overall, this game is just horrible. It gets boring within the first 10 minutes before you want to cut it off. A similar WCW game, made and published by the same company would come out later that year; WCW vs NWO: World Tour for the Nintendo 64. It was slightly better than vs The World, but that's not saying much.
The zombies in these are cool. Any part of there body you shoot one part of them gets blown.

7895 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of the first games i played for the snes. It also brings back memories when my friends and i were excited when we had this game on the nintendo. Which is very weird now that we stayed up all night playing it trying to get further. But i even thought the graphics were good back then when i played it, well i was not that old either. It was in the late 90s when it came out. Anyways it has good graphics for the snes and a good story. The story is like the older zelda games, do this first, beat it, then you get this.....Yes but it never gets old. As you beat the first part which is the castle, you have to find the villige elder and then he tells you to collect each of the four pendents as you go on, after you collect all of them, you can recieve the mighty MASTER SWORD!!! whoooo! now lets get some hearts. Soon you will be able to get to places that you haven't been able to access before because each castle you beat, you get a new weapon or tool to use to beat the next part. One of those wonderful tools is the magic mirror that trasports you from the light world that you are at to the dark world. Which is pretty much the same as the light world but evil has taken over and it looks all destroyed and forsaken. Now this is where you free the princesses and retrieve the crystals. As soon as you get all of them you can battle gannon which is the hardest part and battle of the game then you will rescue the last but not least loved zelda. That is pretty much the story line with the main parts and battles. Each castle has a different boss in each world and it gets harder. Remember to go back and forth between both worlds to collect and get items you couldent recieve before. Very good but VERY hard game. I would get it considering that it is the only zelda game on the snes, which makes me wonder why? All other nintendo's have a sequal to each zelda becides this. It would have been a great game though. Hell, the gamecube even has five zelda games. So be happy with this one because it is a great classic and the last zelda that has a (top view) feature unstead of in third person that you will find in the newer ones. Very hard but very good game.
3584 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well i now have an xbox, which is grreat!! But i did have a DC and i have to say it was one of my fave consoles ever. great graphics, it looks like Ps2 and it looks almost a little better than gamecube. when i heard a while back that sega was ditching dreamcast, i was so mad, i wondered y because it was such a great console. So, i think if you are someone out there who wants to play games that areen't up to date, but great, this is the system. I think that someday, sega should jump back into the marketing and make dreamcast 2, with more power than ps2 or xbox, and come with dvd and net support. It woulld be great!!
Overall, I know I give the impression of a 5, but this game could have been better on the difficulty scale. VII gave me some difficulty and I normally under-train, but this was pathetic.
-Lots of playable characters which is really great
WWF Super Wrestlemania lets you take control of one out of eight wrestlers. From there, you can choose to play a one player game to go against the computer, a 2 player vs. game to go against another player or a tag team mode where you and another player take on a computer controlled tag team. Whoever pins the other person first is the winner of the match. That's pretty much the entire game. There is nothing else to do but to tweak the options before or after the match.
5930 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Cool Game. Nice Price. Fairly Quick Shipping. Overall 4 out 5 Stars.

The second strength is the AI, which (along with Dark Reign) is the most complex in any game to-date. The AI will respond to attacks on its own bases, and it will send large strike forces against your armies.
They, once upon a time, made PS controllers that didn't feature thumbsticks and/or vibration. This game was released during the advent of the original Dual Shock controller so while there is a vibration feature, the game it's self doesn't utilize the sticks in any other way besides as the left stick functioning as another D-pad with no pressure sensitivity.
3260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome seller. Everything as described. I highly recommend buying from this seller again.
The game also doesn't play well. There are far too many things to do and not enough buttons, even on the Super Nintendo, to compensate. Your grappling hook, for instance is mapped to the "Select" button and if you want to shoot it straight up you need to press "Select+Up." The end result is that if you don't press them both exactly at the right time you end up just shooting your grappling hook to swing normally (a moment that is only actually needed ONCE in the entire game). This sounds pretty bad as it is, but it's a nightmare when using gadgets. The game itself makes you use gadgets the way you use moves in Street Fighter II. This works for Street Fighter because it's a fighting game. Here's it's awful. When beset upon by several enemies at once it can be annoying to enter the specific commands for your gadget. It also doesn't help that sometimes the controls aren't responsive to the inputs.
1393 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is an amazing game. one that you can enjoy playing from the start to the finish.
909 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fast shipping. works perfect. 100% satisfy. thanks.
The lanscapes are quite intriguing, with different levels, craters, mountains, shadows, and other features that help make gameplay varied and interesting.
The music is also notable. Sure it's entirely synhtesized/MIDI, but in those days, that was the state of the art. The music fits the scenes pretty well, mostly being varied riffs on the classic John Barry Bond theme, some being a little different.
Rock n roll music suites the game and any true fan know why. The music matches each stage well. Soundtrack i have yet to get.
SECRETIVE PLACES: While you can get map of the castle early on, you still can't locate many important secret places on that map. I wish they had some type of secret map available so one wouldn't have to rely on online guides. Other than this I can complain about the graphics and stuff, but it is a PS1 game, so judging it by today's standard won't be fair.
My source of this information? The Internet and the two 16MB memory cards I bought years ago, not off Amazon, though.
5218 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've just read some reviews for the game all over the net. Everyone is trashing it...and I really don't understand why. Is there a certain rule that bargain games cannot be good? Must a game cost fifty bucks for it to be good? That's what all magazine reviews seem to be leaning towards. Don't listen to them, it's just their opinion anyway. They're a bunch of spoiled babies who sit there and get paid to write ridiculous reviews on games like DS. I just got the game today, wanted to check out what it was like and surprisingly I found myself playing it for 2 hours. Bottom line is that if you like Diablo, you will probably like this game. Same style, same type of dungeons, same everything. Don't be fooled by those spoiled losers that work for these magazines who are trashing this game in their reviews. Just because it's not made by Squaresoft doesn't mean it cannot be fun. I've had more fun playing this game than I did Vagrant Story and that got great reviews. That's the last time I'll trust magazine reviews...it's all opinions. Can't lose price-wise on this one, and even if you don't like it as much, you won't be banging your head against the wall for buying the "editor's choice/pick" and finding out that a supposedly bigger, more expensive game is no different graphically than the one I'm writing this review for.
The story itself builds upon previous games in the series, for we interact with familiar characters like Zelda and Ganondorf in addition to many new individuals. As always, there are a whole variety of weapons and items to collect during your travels, some that are familiar and some that are new to this title. What makes this game even more engaging is the idea of traveling through time. You begin the story as a child, growing as a warrior and searching for the Spiritual Stones. When you travel into the future, the world has become darker and your missions more challenging. There is a constant interplay between the past and the present as you try to make your way through the dungeons and numerous side quests. The multitude of puzzles, games, and items to collect makes this story very immersive and entertaining. The endearing characters that you meet provide for a rich, enjoyable plot, furthering your adventure along with their dialogue and aid.
959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite of the series. My cousin and I used to play it all the time and it is how I remember. Hit detection is a little off
If you enjoy puzzles that involve common sense more than mathematics and like interesting and unique worlds, you will enjoy "Myst." The game has decent replay value. The game is rather old, and an updated edition called "Real Myst" is available on Amazon. However, for a genuine piece of gaming history, the original is the way to go.
6422 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think of this game as the ultimate toy soldier set that you dreamed of as a kid- only the toys are alive and intelligent. I've literally spent hundreds of hours playing this game , including more all nighters than I care to admit. If you are a military buff this game can become addictive. You can build whole empires here- either from scratch from the stone age, or with fully developed high middle ages technology (which includes gunpowder weapontry.) You have to build up the infrastructure for your empire including farms, fisheries, mines, and timber. Then you have to build workshops and training schools. Only then can you concentrate on the right mix of cavalry, infantry, archers, and artillery. Just the complexity of the castles and walled towns you can build is fascinating. Yet it is never tedious, you really get a feeling that you are actually building up an empire- your empire for your subjects. And every single individual unit is fully and believably animated. A major advantage of Age of Kings over the earlier Age of Empires is that you can order your fighting units into set formations like squares and lines, instead of just sending a mob into battle. The interface here is unbelievable- the "giant" map actually has the feel of a huge extent of territory- enough for a kingdom or an empire. I prefer this as a single player game- the program is smart and relentless enough to keep you constantly on your toes. Just try playing against 7 to 1 odds with no allies if you don't believe me....
1606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent item!
The simplicity of the gameplay combined with the variety in worlds/levels ensured it never got boring. Just pure light hearted fun!
Overall, this is a fine, albeit short, little RPG. All the elements that make RPGs great are here. The only complain I have is that there are times when the game seems too easy. Otherwise, I am happy with Suikoden and would recommend it to any RPG lover.
1319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 is all in all a brilliant game. Hands down best one for N64, and in all honesty the LAST GREAT MARIO game, bringing Mario into the 3D world.
5116 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got this game to add to my small N64 collection. Game is great and has lots of replay value. The multiplayer mode is megafun, especially when you whack your friend in the head with a tire iron.
However, be aware that on every 4th level, Mario will have a face Donkey Kong himself! Sometimes your job is to make it to the top of the level to reach Pauline; other times, you will have to pick up the barrels that DK throws @ you to strike him right back! One of the great facets about Donkey Kong '94 is that every time you've completed a fourth level, players will get to witness some short cut scenes where Mario is pursuing DK! :)
the bad- it's a tad short.
Play is balanced as much as plot. Every time the game is booted up, the player has the option of customizing performance: textures, decals, sounds and frames. The software is also apparently able to recognize when the player cuts through the opposition like Deaths scythe, and when the opposition crumples the player-scythe like tinfoil. The stamina and aim of everybody is accordingly adjusted. *Payne* provides no armor, but introduces a Sam Peckinpah-style slow motion to give the player a stunt edge. Named after a special effect in *The Matrix*, this bullet time allows Max to shoot and dodge in slow motion, but aim in real time. Speaking of bullets, *Payne* bristles with contemporary crime movie weapons, including: Ingram M11s, Beretta 92s, and sawed-off shotguns straight out of *The Untouchables*. No bazookas, BFGs, or similar and unnecessary anti-tank weapons exist. Each level is exotic, moody-- and yet realistic (a multilevel parking garage has fluorescent lights and white-washed walls straight out of Navy boot campugh). *Paynes* puzzles and mazes are simple, subtle, and justified with snowstorms and mob wars keeping things in perspective.
Neotones - clear green and yellow w/ Aussie flag & yellow buttons (Australia)
The intersting thing about VH is the battling system, and the way you upgrade your units. First you start with a basic class. Like Archer, Knight, Sorcerer, Priest...etc. Then you can upgrade their classes once they hit a certain level. In this case, levels 10 and 20. The only person with a special job class is your hero Ash. Also he is the only person with the opportunity to upgrade three times, instead of two. The problem with this is that you have to unlock six differnet keys. One for each chapter, and then you have to hope that you can defeat all the enemies behind each of these "locked doors". If you can do that, be can upgrade to the ultimate class, The Vandaler! This class is godlike. You basically become damn near impossible to kill.
Speed (spend some time running around to boost this)
The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
Graphics. 3 1/2 Stars:Graphics are alright. When it comes to how they look for 3D I would say "good" but for realism (during game play)I dunno. They(Characters and people and things) look...not so good. However, the graphics during battles are very good (also during cut scenes/movies)
Other than these flaws, this is a solid title that deserves to be in your collection.
+Monster battles, while common, are not so frequent that playing this becomes a chore in itself.
To be fair, you can't just mindlessly shoot every dinosaur you arrive to, because you aren't given a whole lot of ammo. Certainly not as much ammo is given to you compared to how many health packs are available throughout the journey. Despite that, running out of bullets probably won't ever be a problem. Just make certain you avoid some of the weaker dinosaurs in the early parts of the game. That way you will have enough bullets for the bigger and deadlier dinosaurs in the later parts of the game (which obviously require more bullets to kill).
Courage (defeating stronger enemies than him)
When held in comparison of the boards of Mario Party 8 and 9 for the Wii, the boards of Mario Party 1 are still holding up well. Naturally, the graphics are incredibly dated, but the design is a tad more intricate and focuses on gameplay instead of the visual style. The rules are the same for each board also:
A old fashion 2d side scroll game of going to level to level. Fighting a boss at the end of most stages. The enemies and bosses are challenging but fair. Pick from two heroes-Mega man(a ranged expert,signature arm cannon) or Zero. (a close range beam sword expert.) Same as old mega man games both zero and mega man steal defeated bosses powers and uses them as their own. Finding what bosses are weak to, makes the game alot easier and is a great strategic depth to the game of what foe will make your journey easier.
There's more. One level starts you off by bats which of course you can't hit right away because while a Castlevania Axe could take them all out, you have no axe, only your whip. Getting through this section unscathed is more a matter of luck than skill.
*Even today the graphics are pretty good as a 3D polygonal shooter
THE DOWNSIDE: The game has very little replay value, and it is not very long. It only took a few hours to beat. The game IS fun, though -- once I beat it, I went right back to play through in Hard Mode. After that, though, there was nothing more to the game.
8710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yeah, it's an old game for Super Nintendo, but it's the greatest racing game ever made in my opinion. I think the graphics are very impressive for its time, and it is blazing fast for a SNES racer. The music is also fantastic techno, the best music i've heard in a racing game, and better than most games in general. The vehicles are pretty cool, each having advantages and disadvantages. There are many difficulty settings, and many courses depending on the difficulty setting you chose. Beating the game on the hardest difficulty can be extremely difficult, especially at the later courses. The only rip I have on this game is that it should have been two players, and after you beat it so many times/ beat it on the hardest settings, it gets old (I played it non stop before i mastered it, now it isn't nearly as entertaining.) But for when it came out, it is definitely a classic, and to this day I think it is the best racing game ever.
4783 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when I first got this game - when it first came out when I was a junior in high school. I played this game all night and called in sick for work over Christmas break to keep playing. This is undoubtably best game I've ever played in my life, and I doubt that anyone has the brains to follow it up in a similar style. I mean, at least Capcom had the brains to follow up with millions of Mega Man sequels that were all alike, but all of the subsequent Castlevania sequels after "Symphony" just are nothing like it. The "64" versions totally suck compared to it. Oh well, I guess I'd better find another copy of this disc before I get it scratched so many times that its unplayable. If you haven't played it, buy it. Otherwise, you are losing the best video game experience that you will ever have. (Runners up for best games of my life: Secret (not legend) of Mana, Chrono Trigger (not Cross), Time Crisis (distant 4th, but still excellente))
Well, I have news for every developer out there: many of us have a really difficult time with games like this. Not everyone who plays fighting games should automatically be expected to be a skilled player. Not all of us hang out at local arcades wasting tons of quarters as we try and perfect our skills. Some of us are, you know, average "normal" gamers who just like to have fun. The developers of tournament fighters NEVER could understand this, and years later, they still can't understand what it's like to have fun. We shouldn't have to be a genius to play a fighting game. Not all of us can press the EXACT moves at the EXACT moment and win fights. Maybe one day a tournament fighter will be invented for a gaming console that will be specifically designed to be playable for people who struggle with them. Maybe one day...
The graphics are great, one of n64's best graphics yet, especially for a motocross game, but annoying little graphics glitches sometimes appear which is a shame, otherwise the graphics are smooth and nice on the eyes. Just the little graphic glitches which decrease its score to 4.5/5.

Only worthwhile side quests were the boss ones. The other few were quite boring to try and were either overeasy, or just gave stupid prizes.

And with rebates, you can get the game for what, about $10 now? I will share some of the updated features that make the game more enjoyable and why you should buy it.

Plot

Mario 64 may have been the revolution, but some of the games that derived bits and pieces from it were possibly even better, in my opinion. Banjo-Kazooie is one such game, adding a lot of depth and value to an already proven formula. It may not be the game everyone looked to for inspiration in the game-making world, but Banjo-Kazooie is a real gem from Rare's glory days on the N64, and it makes me want to play the sequel even if it is ten years old.
There was never really a Star Fox game for Gamecube to top this one, so Star Fox 64 still remains a favourite. Proof that great gameplay can outlast aging graphics. A must-own for any N64 collection.
Unfortunately, the damn things take FOREVER to build! You may have met all your victory requirements for a given mission four hours previous, but you're stuck waiting for that Pyramid to build. Sometimes carpenters just don't come build the ramps, and your stone haulers are left stacked up waiting to deposit their loads (that stuff gets heavy after a few months!).
3096 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At a first glance, Final Fantasy VII appears to have boxy graphics, lack of special effects, and perhaps even a dull story-line with the stoic hero, Cloud Strife. However, this game offers so much more than what a quick glance can give. The characters' graphics may not be fully detailed, but their personalities and body language make up for all of that. Each character was thoughtfully created with unique story, background,
Overall, this game has stood the test of time, as it is still a fabulous buy. Definitely get it for $10 or less, and if it doesn't work on your computer, find out why because you need to fix the problem and play this game. On a final note, this game REALLY hints at a sequel, so I now am going to have to get the sequel because while the game ends, there is something left to do that you must do in the next game, Riven. Anyway, get this game!

If you're not a fan of The X-Files, there are better mystery/adventure games out there. If you find mystery/adventure games frustrating, you probably won't like this one even if you are a fan. On the other hand, if you do enjoy both this type of game and the series it's based on, you'll have a lot of fun with this game.
Lunar is by no means a complicated game. Every character gains magic through levels (save for Alex who will get a few spells from meeting certain objectives in the story) and has their own unique magic. For example, Nash is the only character who can cast Thunder Magic. There are a few tidbits to the battle system that help flesh it out and keep it from being overly repetitive. For one, characters who use staves can use them to cast spells that they otherwise might not be able to cast. There's also a huge emphasis on strategy here. Lunar is not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination. Especially up against the bosses. You'll find you have to move your characters all over the field and heal every turn to keep yourself a float. To make matters even more difficult, you only have a limited number of items you can carry and on top of that, items at the market are quite expensive and monsters don't drop a lot of money. So even though battles are contact based, it's probably best to fight as many as you can. The only major problem with Lunar's battle system is that battles aren't quick. Even normal battles can last for several minutes because of having to heal yourself constantly. For the most part, though, the trip through the game is very rewarding.

2233 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have used third party products for everything from controllers to memory and the expansion packs have always been problematic. They cause problems like crashing and loading issues. If you don't want to waste your money on things you will end up throwing away, stick with the Nintendo brand or OEM expansion pack. OEM is simply "original equipment manufacturer" which means that it is the same company that manufactured the original parts. Apparently the third party companies are not aware of certain things when manufacturing these products. They either do not test them properly or the original makers are not sharing the information on their hardware.

The story literally begins in an insane asylum. You wake up, your head wrapped in bandages with no knowledge as to your identity nor why you are there. Your only clues are the inmates that gibber and bang their head against the wall and sometimes cluck like a chicken. You slowly begin to unravel the strands of a plot, but then are catapulted into an entirely new story altogether it seems.

9957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's fun, it's fast, it's almost as fun as Sonic 2, it's Road Rash! 2! This game is one of the best Genesis video games EVER! I've played a lot of fascinating Genesis games, none of them (not including the Sonic games) caught my attention like this one did. Two Player was fun, Single Player was fun, and my favorite bike has to be the Diablo. The most expensive bike out of all of the bikes, it's very hard to save up for...but it's also the fastest. It's almost hard not to crash! One of the funnest games ever, sometimes you can even take weapons (club, chain) when your opponents try to smack you with it. Smack them with it, get them out of the way, then smack some other people. You can also kick and punch while driving! If your planning to get a racing game for your Genesis, this is the one to get!
P.S. Don't forget to get the strategy guide for this game. Grandia (Prima's Official Strategy Guide)

4812 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Almost every game that Blizzard ever came out with made game of the year...coincidence? I think not. I love all their games. Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo!!
Battle Yahtzee - After your rolls, your opponent gets to roll INTO your dice!!!
Other thoughts:
No combo moves.
What is the best thing about this game is the power of possesion. By chanting he can posess a variety of creatures and even your own farts.
N64 Games from Rare tend to be silly (even the revered GOLDENEYE and PERFECT DARK), and they tend to be great. However, BLAST CORPS is a short-lived bucket of fun. There aren't as many stages as there could've been, even for an N64 title. The experience is single-player only, which is sad because there were a lot of possibilities for multiplayer in BLAST CORPS. Also, why can't you choose your vehicle for the stages? Instead, each stage has its own vehicle(s), which is good the puzzles, but not so good in the long run. For example, using the drifting Sidewinder was a pain the butt, and I dreaded each of its stages.

5299 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an absolute joy to play. The graphics may be very basic, the sound is lackluster, there are no control or set-up options, but it absolutely is one of the best games to come out this past holiday season. The premise is simple: Take over you departed Grandfather's farm and turn it into a flourishing establishment, and along the way woo one of several young local girls and make her your bride. With such a quirky and novel concept Harvest Moon is a breath of fresh air in the video game world, and proves that there is plenty of un-explored territory out there for game producers. Beyond the wonderful basic concept of the game, there are plenty of hidden items that add to the obsesive feeling you will achieve playing this game. It becomes more than just a enjoyable experience, it becomes an addiction. You will get as much joy from harvesting your crops as you will when your potential future bride begins returning your affection. Might I add that this is a game that ANYONE can play and enjoy, especially females who would not typically pick up a controler. I highly recommend this game.
4886 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been playing the Suikoden series for years, ever since the first one was release I was HOOKED.
Sound: The regular sound effects again take you back to the old school Final Fantasy days, but the music is without incomparable. From when the game first kicks off in Midgar, to when you first meet Aeris, to the excitement of the Gold Saucer, to the dramatic confrontation Red XIII has with what is left of his father, to the final confrontation with Sephiroth. Every tune strikes a chord that will last forever and is ingeniously constructed as well as perfectly fitting. No Final Fantasy game sounds as pleasant, and that isn't based off of just nostalgia. The music is perfect for listening to outside the game with melodies that will bring you back to your first experiences.
7223 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Good: Superb audio, graphics, great game play that is one of its kind, great storyline, quick saves are a life saver
6. The enemies are better and more creative
Nevertheless, for the fan of Zelda this is a good buy. But let's be clear. If you are buying this, chances are it is probably not to actually utilize the guides themselves. After all, many of the games these guides are for have been out for a while and, truthfully, you could just buy them on their own if you really wanted them for strategy. They are a collector's item. And it is certainly a nice one.
2199 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got a genuine nintendo expansion pak. It worked perfectly with my N64. I can play Majora's Mask and Donkey Kong 64 no problem.
The multi-player is where this game really shines. If you are playing with people who are actually serious about playing the game the way it was meant to be played (i.e. role playing) this game is a blast. The "storyteller", or person that hosts the game, has the option to create enemies, objects, props, etc. and so the levels can be customized pretty much any way you want them to be. However, unless you're good with programming, you will have to use the "pre-made" levels, although you can fill these levels with whatever you want to. There IS an option for more experienced players to create their own levels, though you have to have a special programming tool for this (which was not released with the game, you have to go and download it for yourself). I believe the name for it is the NOD SDK, but I could be mistaken. In either case, it's readily available on almost any web-site related to Vampire:The Masquerade-Redemption, although the "official web site" ... is where I'd go for most of this stuff.
9846 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've been anxiously waiting for this to arrive in mail today and planned to have hours of entertainment but beat it in 30 minutes. This is the first Kirby game on the Game Boy which is not only short in length but falls short of expectations from a Kirby game. Unlike all Kirby games, this fellow cannot absorb enemies' powers which beats the purpose of a Kirby game. Regardless it is still enjoyable and you'll encounter familiar foes and landscapes from other Kirby installments.
1259 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The kids love it
Then I can make it work with my MythTV Mythgames. My kids are in for a surprise :-)
2975 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yup another game for the kids they really liked this one too. This is played quite a bit and still working
Had to get it for a friend when she got a gameboy, hopefully she's enjoying it now.
7461 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game wrapped in bubble wrap and was shipped rather fast even with the road conditions being so bad. No delays in shipping.
If you are a fan of Star Trek get it.
As Don Henley said, "Learn To Be Still".
The concept for TS is the good guys, global defense initiative(GDI) vs the religious brotherhood of the nod, a fanatical terrorist group. Sounds familiar? Certainly a concept appropriate for today but the NOD is the military equal to the GDI. Both sides are distinctive and different. The GDI is more muscular and has more fire power while the nod relies on stealth and sneaky tactics. Strategy is far more important here than just cranking out more tanks than your opponent. For example the nod has an apc that can burrow under ground. Pack the thing full of infantry or engineers and sneak into the middle of an opponents camp underground only to resurface unleashing the attack. The gdi has ways to counter this however. A mobile sensor can be built that will detect the apc on radar and concrete can be placed down so the unit can't resurface in vulnerable areas of your camp. Some "new" features that differ from the original C&C and RA. A single engineer can take over an opponents building, infantry can't just be run over by vehicles and you have the deployable mcv feature that allows you to pack up your command center and move it.
5754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...but in spite of that, Final Fantasy VIII is an undeniable classic. The longest game in the series, number 8 is one of two that I have been able to beat (along with number 10). The game spans across 4 epic discs (though, as usual, the final disc is rather short). In each disc, there are all sorts of lush 32-bit landscapes and characters, as well as gorgeous summons and various other magic spells. The CG cinematics are stunning, especially the ending. The character designs are new to the series, which is great: it was the first with the more adult looking characters that also stylized number 10 (parts one and two).
Topic:Snowman has your hat
Addictiveness: ***** (I stopped playing my other games for almost 4 months when I got into this game)
FINAL RATING: 8 out of 10
On the large, this was a different kind of game than what we were getting at the time, something fresh. It wasn't a blockbuster, oh-my-god-get-me-the-sequel-now, mind numbing experience. I can understand why a game like this would deserve a sequel, but even today I couldn't have predicted the amount of games it would spawn.
The PROS: better graphics and music, more variety in the stages, more cars to choose from and more game modes. The controls are easy to get into and it doesn't take itself too seriously for an arcade racer.
8308 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Megaman X was Capcom's megaman spinoff and the first MM game on the SNES(some would say the first game for SNES was MM7, but that was released in the same year MMX2). Anyways, for one of the earlier SNES games, MMX has great graphics, great gameplay and great music. The stages are designed with great skill, as there are pits and spikes everywhere, with plenty of walls to climb. The music in the game is really good, too, not necessarily being top notch, but being good enough that you can remember most of it. With the start of a new series, there are new features. In this game, you start with the ability to climb walls. Then you have to hunt down the hearts(to expand your health bar), the capsules(to upgrade your armor), and the sub-tanks(like the energy cans from the originals, except these are permanent and you fill them up yourself with excess health).
8081 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In this game we find a new storyline among the vampire world that is brought to life in this tale. However, the saving of the games in progress are horrible and sometimes it doesn't save and a whole section needs to be redone because of it. Although, that part is a CON for the game, the Pro for the game is that you get to see a character move through history and his way of trying to gain some sort of redemption for himself because of what he is.
8400 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nothing like reliving your childhood memories like breaking out the sega and playing all the old games you use to like this classic!
7210 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was (and still is) awesome! I'm still amazed at the sound and graphics quality of this game, and I always have fun playing it! Some mini games are a bit confusing and incredibly hard. The golden bananas, which act like Banjo-Kazooie's jiggies, are sometimes also extremely hard to get. There's actually over 150 bananas in the game! To be exact, there's 201 bananas in the game, counting the giant (counts as 2) banana that you get for getting all of the banana fairies. This game took me about 6 years to beat (I still haven't gotten all of the bananas!) with other games in-between, including getting a Gamecube. Overall, this game is AWESOME! A must get for any N64 owner!
for example in half life 1 u get to a radio, and a soldier says there to retreat. if u play opposing forse ull see this guy saying same thing to abort and same voice.
few times. Will pick another game to
Value: 7/10 - Fun to play at the time but you won't go back to Spyro to go and play it again and again too many times. But it looks great and is still entertaining so it's worth the money.
6754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Gameboy pocket, particular green (most awesome color ever)was the source of many great memories and likely led to me needing to get eye glasses. I still own this gem, and from time to time, it's nice to turn it on and play some classic games and play some simple but fun black and white games.
Gex himself has a comic note at almost every turn and does mocking impersenations of big-time movie stars. Hey, if your main job is being a couch patato, you learn a lot about movies, and in Gex's case, that leads to a funny time to make us snort!
9334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is one of those rare games that comes along every once in a while that breathes new life into a genre that seems to be all boring clones. I have played many shooters, and yet Max Payne was a totally new experience. It is unlike any other shooter out there. I have played very few games with such a deep, involving story. From the first episode in the game, you are deeply involved in the character and the story. Max Payne is a complex character who is very realistic. The gameplay in this game is truly superb as well. The action is intense and smooth-moving. It is difficult but very fair. The feature that you surely have heard about the most is bullet-time. This is truly a unique feature that adds a lot to the game. You will surely end up using it a lot. It provides for a lot of very cool sequences. The game is a bit short, but the included mods (Hard-Boiled, New York Minute, and Dead On Arrival) should provide some additional longevity. I would not recommend this game for younger players, though. My brother is 15 and he found a couple parts a bit disturbing, though that could just be him. I personally am 18 and found nothing to be disturbing. There is mild swearing but nothing you don't hear everyday. Max Payne is truly an enjoyable game and a very worthwhile purchase. Even without multiplayer it is a rewarding experience to play through. It like nothing you've ever played, even if you think you've seen everything a shooter can do.
The gameplay is very faithful to the original . . . and at times very hard. Fortunately there are a number of special items you can collect to make your quest easier.
2079 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For those of us who got a PSX at rollout, Alien Trilogy deffinately belongs in the list of all time PSX classic games. Sure, by today's graphics standards it's not so great but it has great game play. The best thing about this game is the ambiance - dark, great music, it is a little scarry. The game is simple to play and control. Yes, the Doom/Unreal crowd won't like it - not enough buttons and weapons of mass destruction. No, this is the first person shooter your girlfriend will want to play too. Acclaim should remake this title for PS2 with more CG story cuts and cohesive plot.
So you run around, frantically destroying the blocks before they reach and crush you. It's very simple gameplay, but add in the fact that things go faster and faster, and the challenge gets harder and harder as the game goes on, and you've got a challenging game that's easy to learn, almost impossible to master.
Power's your thing? Go with Knights, Monks and Ninjas. Distance/finesse gamer? Go with Archers, Summoners and Wizards. Feeling eclectic? Dancers, Bards and Mimes, then. Each character class has a unique set of abilities that you learn on a "job class" system that rewards you for acting in battle.
4859 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great. locks in great. no lag. works just as you want it to work. the box said retro-bit and not madness. the cable was black.
4074 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's better than any other addictive substance or food... well, maybe not chocolate :)
Fun: 8.5/10. Nice and realistic, great events, and different difficulties for every age and cool characters make this a must play for any owner of an N64.
Research is a lot of fun and can be begun almost from the beginning, in one of three areas. Ship research (New ship designs, fighters, etc), Building design (New Planetary Shields, Improved Shipyards), and Troop Design (Dark Troopers, Sullastan Regiments). Typically whoever has a leg up in Research has an easier time controlling the game and it's highly recommended that if you find any NPC's (Wedge Antilles can do Ship Research, Bevel Lemelisk can do all three types)to start ASAP.
2204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT
Another cool part is you can choose which side to fight on: the good side (GDI) or the bad side (NOD). Every mission is complex, puzzling, and can be won many different ways.
If you didn't play this game before, you should do what I did and it will only cost you $8. That's a bargain considering you will pay plenty more for the original cartridge. It is worth it either way so experience what other Metroid fans have already and see why this title was and is still remembered as an excellent SNES game. ********HIGHLY RECOMMENDED********.
I had two controllers to test with it.
Overall, the only thing lacking in this are the single player missions that are in Reinforcements, but even then they're replaced by training levels which help increase skills such as aiming bazookas and shotguns, using the Ninja rope, accurately placing grenades etc.
The game has 4 robot masters compared to the NES game's 6. Even though the game is easier than the NES games, it's still pretty hard for people that aren't hardcore MegaMan fans. If you are one of those people, it'll take a while to get past all the robot masters and reach Dr. Wily. The precise controls, the tricky pathways, and difficult situations are all present. Fortunately, once you reach a robot master, it's possible you may beat him right away, or you lose a life or two and THEN beat him.
6870 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 was very thrilled to find this game finally! i used to play it way back in the day, my son loves watching my play as well a great game
I defintely would consider the Dreamcast in the top 5 best gaming systems of all time.
8058 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Tomba 2 is a great follow-up to the original. It is more challenging and it gives that little RPG touch that this game needed to be successful. One con that this game has is it's poor sound quality, and if you want a 30 hour adventure RPG, this is not the game to get. However, this is a fairly short game that you'll want to play over and over again. This game is a game that requires a lot of thinking and should be a game that a parent would love to buy for their kids.
What really made Wild ARMS such a strong game is the excellent character development that easily rivals ANY square-enix title (I'm not afraid to make such a bold statement!). When you really start to feel for the game's characters, espeically when tradegy strikes them, you know you have a winner. Even the game's villians are very well developed and very, very memorable (I still refer to them in gaming conversations after all this time). Some may say the story is your typical save-the-world fare, but I still think it beats the heck out of some of the plotlines in games today (where original ideas seem to be lacking overall).
A story line that rivaled the best Hollywood has ever thrown at us regarding the horror genre.
Throughout the levels, there's various TV monitors that provide various power-ups for you. There's a Shield monitor, which gives you a protective shield that's lost once you hit a dangerous obstacle or get hit by a Badnik. There's a Ring monitor, which gives you 10 rings. There's a Shoes monitor, which makes you run fast temporarily (and has faster music when you're in this mode). There's an Invincibility monitor, which gives you temporary invincibility from enemies and certain obstacles (though you can still drown, fall from a bottomless pit, and get crushed). Finally, there's a Sonic monitor, which gives you an extra life.

922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Runs perfectly, just as advertised.
2627 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to have a Game Boy Color back in elementary school but had since sold it. I recently came into possession of Pokemon Blue Version and needed an old handheld to play it on. There really is no comparison to be drawn between handhelds of the 90s and handhelds of today. 90s wins every time.
5. There is no water to swim in. This isn't exactly a huge problem, but I did enjoy confronting and swimming in bodies of water the other games throw at you. Here, the only water you get is Seaside Hill and it behaves more like a bottomless pit. It would have been interesting to see how each team adapted to a swimming pool, and maybe see what funny thing Sonic would have to say.
3. River Ganges
8838 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect. Exactly as expected.
7457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
You'd think for a debut game (a BIG debut, considering all the advertisements on TV commercials) Sony would have made the game a *little* easier for younger or inexperienced gamers to play. Instead, Sony started off the Crash series with impossible bonus levels (impossible to complete AND find- I didn't even KNOW the game had bonus levels until I looked it up in the instruction booklet!)
3005 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is official now as PSOne classics
Actual Game Review: Duke is still the man, even today
8008 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I Love This Game. Out Of All The Donkey Kong Games This One Is Definately My Favorite. It Was A Lot Of Work For Rare To Make This Game Better Than Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2. But They Did It. A Cool New Feature In The Game Is That When You're In A World You Can Walk Right Out Of It Instead Of Having To Take Funky's Flights. Pretty Cool Eh. Anyone Who Owns A SNES Should GET THIS GAME!!!!!
It has all the classic moves from MGS, and some fun levels like "Mystery" (arrest the right murder suspect), Puzzle (think enemy-dominos) and round after round of weapon-based combat (so you don't ALWAYS have to sneak around).
6139 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game gave the opportunity to actually go to Jurassic Park... well, Site B, anyway. The game plot was well written, if cliche, and works well as a Jurassic Park franchise. When this game came out, the physics engine was revolutionary. Today (2005), it will appear rather dated. My one other complaint: too much shooting, too few puzzles.
it might be an old game but its definitely worth a playing for any platformer fan, its up there with the best of them and certainly surpasses most of the 3rd gen platformers available today!
4142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Product exactly as described.
7775 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Many movies that get turned into Video Games do not fair well. More often than not they don't follow the movies very well at all or they simply fail at having decent gameplay. Sometimes even both. The Super Star Wars trilogy on the Super Nintendo has decent gameplay. They don't follow the movies to a tee (especially the first game) but they're good games nonetheless that many gamers are destined to like.
9715 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game basically because of the previews and the cute graphic remark. I love this game and have a 5 yr old and 7 yr old that love it too. There is a short cartoon sequence at the beginning while the mom is putting the little girl and boy to bed. You can then play as the girl with a teddy bear for a weapon or the boy with a candlestick as a weapon. Leave the bedroom and go to the playroom for training in using the controller or jump right in to the "other side". You go through a door and end up in the woods where you pick from 3 places to go in the beginning or if you punch the witch a few times she'll race you. You are looking for 40 winks(small creatures) and you have to collect a certain amount of "cogs" to open each new door. The trick is in finding the cogs and the jack-in-the-box looking toys so your player can morph into a caveman, a fairy, or a cavegirl who has some mean karate skills. You'll need these other characters to get into some of the areas where cogs are hidden. This game is loads of fun and just frustrating enough to make you throw the controller. :) It's a puzzle for the adults, a clean "fighting", racing, exploring game for the kids and the graphics are really cute.
2439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game works perfectly and there hasn't been and problems with it so far, and overall it's a really fun game, one of the best Nintendo 64 games in my opinion.
The graphics are great for it's generation. It doesn't run on anything past 98 without the patch, which I have if anyone needs it. I played it on a Windows 2000 machine with no issues, and it runs on my XP machine without issues as well. The comments made by the narrator are hilarious and the game play is intuitive and quick to control. Building up dungeons, earning new rooms and monsters, trying to sacrifice enough to get the dark angel, stopping the mistresses from wasting their time torturing each other, slapping the salamanders to increase their efficiency (as well as imps to death), watching the monsters dance to "disco inferno" when one hits jackpot, it's simply an enjoyable game with tons of replay value! I grew up playing this game. I can stay up all night with this game and not lose interest, even to this day.
Storyline:
1401 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great!!!!!!! I played a friends, and then they gave it to me.. Ive beat it!! I still have to try to get all the stars, but I will!! The game is REAL fun and interactive with many great lands and levels to get the stars, and fun bosses!! The game is just REALLY great, I really love it!! IT ROCKS!!!!
2489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A very exciting and fun fighting game; Super Smash Bros. is definentally worthy of my approval. In this great multiplayer game you fight opponents using awesome moves and killer items. There are also a variety of levels, each containing their own special dangers. The object of the game is to knock your opponent off the edge of the thing you are fighting on. It could range from a spaceship in the star-e-ness of space to the tops of skyscrapers!
Music 10/10
3930 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Star Wars fans should be grateful for this game.
- The commentary becomes VERY annoying after you've heard it repeated 1000 times in the one match.
Listen to those sound effects!! Sound familiar? Think South Park! One of the children (or "pirates") sounds JUST like Butters, and a newswoman who appears later in the game sounds like Kyle's mom! Some of the animation looks like South Park, too. When did South Park come out? 1997? Hmmm, makes you wonder...
My main point here is that Max Payne is a great experience for the first, say, ten stages and then monotony sets in. Big time. By the time I'd reached the industrial estate level (with the cranes and forklifts) I was thoroughly sick of the 'kick open door, shoot guys in room then repeat' gameplay.
The music is good and having Voice actors for this game is a plus since we haven't had any but not bad.
Strange horrors come flying at you as you explore Silent Hill. Harry carries a radio that screams white noise every time a Demon is around. Since the fog constantly obscures your vision, and no street lights work at night, you turn in circles with your gun pointing at unseen monstrosities, the white noise getting louder the closer They make their way to you.
9871 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: Tim
4539 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The variety of monsters and weapons is very cool and the story is fun. THe controls for combat are good, but your character does seem to plod around. It's a very good game.
2194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect
7003 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game that brought us the rumble pack.
The enemies in this game are a pain. Some of them are really cheap particularly the wimpy, saggy-shorts jerks in the first level that leap at you from across the screen and the aforementioned gymnasts, but they only get more cheap from there, especially when they throw in guys with Cable-like guns and Iron Man wannabes.
In conclusion Final Fantasy 7 is the greatest game of all time because it has an incredible story, incredibel music, and the fact that you will be sucked in if you give it time. But that is the thing, you must give it time and dedication. This is however the greatest game of all time.
2159 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great love it
There is some new toys to play with, but overall, there isn't enough weaopens. There is a hand gun, shot gun, machine gun, plasma shooter, grenade thrower, shrinkin ray, enlarging ray (new weopen! enlrage you're enemy till the explode!) and a few other ones. But compared to something like Goldeneye, there feels like harldy any guns to choose from.
634 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is very fun to play, but be warned off by this review from me! It has the highly severe computer worm in its installation cds that Symantec's Norton web site refers to as: "IRC W32 Tibick Activity". Also the XP update for it also has a computer worm in it!
2078 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you want a [well priced], yet fulfilling few hours of destructive fun, this is your game. I found the ambience slightly disturbing, that's good. Fans of the films will appreciate all the locales being included. The graphics are extremely dated, but for fans of old school games who don't need extreme eye candy, this is a solid buy.
The PROS: It was a dream come true for many Game Boy owners: the chance to play a portable Mario game and it was good too. For its time, the graphics and sounds were what you expected in a Mario game while the music was in a class all its own. The fact that it was similar to Super Mario Bros yet it had its own feel was different and that was a good thing.
Also in Training Mode, you can battle your friend. This is where it's just Mortal Kombat: Batman Edition all the way!
Lasting Appeal B-
3750 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This video game is awesome, the graphics aren't even that bad. If you have a Dreamcast, I totally recommend it. If you don't have a Dreamcast, you can just get the Gamecube version for your Gamecube/Wii. It's almost the same just the graphics are enhanced and there's more to do. If you can get it for under $20, then you should get it. There's still a lot to do, and I don't think it finishes fast. It took me a while to beat all of the bosses. Tails isn't stuck in a machine, either-he can fly around easily. The chao are also awesome, I really recommend this game, you can't have a Dreamcast collection without it.
There are old and new characters in this game. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are familiar characters because they were in previous games. But Lanky Kong, Tiny Kong and Chunky Kong are all new characters. Each character has his or hers own power up to use for certain tasks and amount of regular bananas and golden bananas to get. (It's a group effort)
If you aren't all that crazy about online games, UT does live up to its claim of being a killer single-player experience: the bots, boring as they look (except for the very goth Necris, I think), will keep you entertained and on your toes. The AI is purty adroit: true, bots don't play like human players, but these digital playpals get close. They use all weapons and gadgets very efficiently, go everywhere you go (no cozy endless sniping here), and I SWEAR that during one Capture-the-Flag game I was ambushed by one waiting right outside my home base as I rushed after the enemy flag bearer, who had cleverly activated his personal shield specifically for this maneuver. Doh!
696 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!
1729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I did not play this on N64, but I did play it in the arcade! It is such a wonderful and awesome game it is not even the least bit funny! The graphics rock, the arenas are both cool looking and interesting, there are many cool moves each of the fighters have, and the endings are movies! I have won this game four times, all four as none other than Scorpion, my favorite MK fighter(4 times I won MK4! Perfect fit!). I love this game, it is cooler than nearly any game I know, there are some of the coolest fighters ever along with Scorpion in it, and I plan to get it for my computer. Period.
You can design your own roller coaster way more sophistacatedly than on any other theme park games.
5884 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Despite some weak characters and the confusing GF system (Which once you learn makes the game a little more fun albeit repetitive), this game is good. The story is worthy and the dialogue is well done. And there are some characters i like (Irvine, Quistis, Squall (Who i'm half and half on, after the first disc he becomes a much better character)
The music in this game is hauntingly beautiful, i rarely get a chance to say that so im going to enjoy it. Its like a dark ambient something thats just absolutely perfect. The same guy, stephen root, made the music for die hard trilogy. If you don't want to buy the game at least give the music a go online, track 9 is my favorite.
6973 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember my brother and I loving this game when we were kids, I bought this game for my brother since this is his favorite Sega game. This game is a lot of fun to play but at times it can get very frustrating and I always end up losing when facing Jafar when he turns into the cobra. But other than that this game brings me nostalgia every time and the condition I got it in was awesome. Very fun game!
1856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
*Dead or Alive 2- Another DC game that dropped jaws in the early days of the 6th gen systems. DOA2 Ultimate was released on the Xbox with improved graphics and gameplay, but the Dreamcast version is still a great collector's piece.
67 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A must have for any Zelda fan or collector.

*Player vrs. comp or player vrs player in multiplayer
All in all, it's a great game with a decent story, graphics that get the point across, and a great battle system that brings much pleasure to just watch.
9676 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite N64 games.
After the first four levels, the game turns into a fun and cleverly made action/puzzle game, with dozens of unique levels. The graphics are pretty good for the system (the level graphics are above average, while the world maps are quite beautifully done, particularly on the Super Gameboy), and the music is quite catchy.
9982 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes I am being bold when I say this game is a better version than the SNES version. One main reason is because of Genesis revolutionay 6 button controller and their fight stick. Man that right there made all of the difference in game play. As for the game the graphics and sound aren't as good as its SNES competitor, but game play is better. The graphics are still good and the hit sound effects are much better on the genesis than SNES. I mean just go onto you-tube and listen and compare the hit sounds! The Genesis is a much better at producing these cool hit sound effects! Lets not forget that this game is a colllectors dream because it was made by SEGA who up to this day no longer makes gameing systems. So despite feeling like the contrast is way up and the graphis aren't sharp, (as the SNES graphis) this game rocks simply because it was made by SEGA. Also the cheering and sound effects after a round of fighting (In stages like Ken and T. Hawk) are better in the Geness and down right annoying in the SNES! I also felt that the music for each fight stage was a better on the Genesis than the SNES. In a nut shell this game is great because SEGA made it, and because of it's great game play!

Come on, I grew up in the days of the NES when I was a child in the late 80's and early 90's. I was forced to play the same few games over and over for *years* because there wasn't much in the way of variety back in those days.

904 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you own a N64 and are looking for a game to play, go to your local game store and find Banjo-Kazooie! In my opinion, this game is simply amazing. The main plot throughout the game is that Banjo the bear and his faithful breegull sidekick Kazooie are attempting to rescue Banjo's little sister Tootie from the evil witch Gruntilda. Enjoy the game as you explore 10 exciting worlds, collect numerous puzzle pieces(open worlds), and rescue your sister from the evil clutches of Gruntilda.
583 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The main reason that people hate this game is because it came right after Twisted Metal 2 and people were expecting A LOT of improvement, but the expectations were in vain. :(
2061 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The days when people said, "We're having a Party, A Mario Party..." Seems to be long past. When this game first came out, it seemed to be the only thing people talked about. Yet today, with 5 Mario Parties in the collection, this one still is wonderful for being the base roots.
During his adventures, Link will learn spells, be swallowed by a huge fish, and saving the land from the evil Ganondorf. This game is a classic and worth the money.
6149 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 By now some you have already heard of or read reviews of FreeSpace 2, the sequel to the excellent Descent: FreeSpace-The Great War which was published by Interplay back in 1998. There aren't enough adjectives to describe this magnus opus but here are a few: breath-taking, immersive, nonpareil, magnificent, astounding, absolutely brilliant. First things first: FreeSpace 2 requires a Pentium 200MHz with a 3D accelerator card that supports either Glide, OpenGL, or Direct3D. I recommend at least a Pentium II 266MHz or higher and about 1 gig of hard drive space. The game's high resolution artwork supports 1024x768 in 32-bit color and the standard 640x480; 800x600 need not apply.

2477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 is one of the best games ever made. It includes 8 characters from different Nintendo games. You can chosoe to play with Mario, Luigi, Link, Ness, Kirby, Samus Jigglypuff and Pikachu. The graphics are great and the animations flow smoothly as you play.
VIII - a mixed bag. Parts of this game plain stink. You will get frustrated. The basic plot seems like a rehash of U7b. Still, the graphics are the best in the collection, and the story can be good at times.
But that does not mean an any way that you should not buy a Dreamcast. You can get a dreamcast, 2 controllers, a memory card, NHL 2K2, NFL 2K2, NBA 2K2 Sonic Adventure 2, Shennmue, Daytona USA, Crazy Taxi 2 and 5 other games for the same price of a PS2 or XBOX, one controller, one memory card, and no games.
4986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very late on the review but it came in perfect condition just like advertised.
7988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game. Thank you!!!

Still, I felt extremely sad when I realised that I had almost finished and, after spending three days finishing the thing (it took me 17 hours), I immediately played it again.
What isn't so good about the game? Each ninja only has a small amount of stealth kills to use. There are plenty of regular attacks to be diverse but only 3 stealthy kills. One kill is rarely used due to the fact that you have to be iun front of you r enemy to use it which is dangerous because he will see you. You usually do the neck slice (yawn). Another downside is that many of the ninja items you acuire will be useless. Since you can only carry 4, you will take ninja stars, bombs, paralyzing rice cakes, and the grapling hook. The others are junk or rare objects recieved as bonuses for completing the missions on a master ninja score. Again the graphics are dated. The enemy AI is a pretty stupid. You can run past an ememy warrior and duck behind a bush or tree and he won't know where you went. He will look around himself quick and resume his patrols, "Where are you!?"
This game also has great replayibility with dozens of sub-quests and side games to keep you busy. Can you raise a gold chocobo? Can you defeat all three weapons? Can you find all the mega-elixers? Can you gain the secret characters? Can you find everyone's super technique and ultimate weapons?
I really wish these games didn't have the added features, but I also didn't want to track down a working used copy of FF6. I removed a star for that. Loading times are a little slower. I noticed that these PS1 discs don't have the typical black coating.
6115 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in Near mint condition. The only issue was, no box. I would definitely recommend this game to people that have played through and/or beaten red yellow or blue. There are minor graphical differences, Which is why this was never released in the states.
4785 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Kingpin: Life of Crime is a dark fps with a great gameplay set in the real bad world. You play a unnamed guy just called Thug. The game opens with thug badly beaten up and left in an ally by Nick's men, Nick works for the kingpin, Thug vows to get revenge, but he does not have anything besides a small pipe, so he has to kill people for money, he kills people takes their money and weapons, buys more weapons, hires goons, rides on a stolen bike, jumps into a moving train, finally he takes on the kingpin, kills him and he becomes the kingpin. The single player gameplay is a different and great experience, no boss levels, all the villans are humans but their weapons and toughness changes. Besides shooting the baddies you have to talk and get advise from people in night clubs, visit the pawn o matic, hire goons ect. The level design is fantastic, From a dark ally, a steel mill, railroad, bad streets ect. They are very fun and very enjoyable to get through. The level are huge and are in hub layout. The weapons are good, There is a pistol, shotgun, tommygun, grenade launcher, bazzoka and a flame thrower. The flame thrower looks as good as it is in rtcw, This same company did rtcw.
6292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After reading a description of the game I thought:"Hmmm well, sounds strange, but since it is the only RPG game around right now I might as well buy it". I started out with low expectations, boy was I wrong!
There's also a point to getting Chaos Emeralds. If you collect all the Chaos Emeralds (now its seven emeralds instead of six) and get 50 rings, you turn into Super Sonic. Super Sonic is a yellow juggernaut. Other than drowning, bottomless pits, and getting crushed, nothing can hurt Super Sonic, as he's not only invincible, but he can run extremely fast and jump over really long distances. The only drawback to Super Sonic is that your ring count gets deducted at one ring per second, and once you run out of rings, you turn back into regular Sonic.
-Despite being able to control Tails in the single player mode, it's not nearly as much fun for the second player because they can't really help out much. What's worse is that you can't make Tails fly and lift Sonic to higher places yet (wait til Sonic 3).
1710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product. [:
- interesting internetdevelopment: you can play MP3s, SNES games, Genesis games, Movies (VCD) and so on by downloading small tools on the internet. The internetcommunity loves this console and I can't say they're wrong!
7382 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. if you ask me its the best game for GBC. i love it
India:
The cars? Don't get me started on the cars. There are over 600, to start with. Some of them can only be won, but most can be bought. The cars are all priced according to their newness, performance, and class. In addition to being able to tune your cars to whatever extent you desire (ie: take a 97hp Diahatsu and make into a 300hp monster that can beat a stock Vector M12) there are specific model or manufacture championships.
A note, this game is very different from games like Diablo and Diablo II, none of which were true roleplaying games. If you are looking for a way to hack and slash your way to glory this is not the game for you. There is a need to interact with other people during the game, and the way you behave and answer them will affect their reaction towards you, unlike Diablo where everything is a monologue. If you ever played and enjoyed tabletop AD&D, this will almost certainly entertain you. If you never tried AD&D this might just get you introduced.
Final Fantasy Tactics was the first world (to my knowledge) where we were introduced to the world of Ivalice. A world that undergoes cataclysm after cataclysm remaking itself in a vicious cycle of doom.
As far as control goes it's basically standard of with noting exceptionally notable about it.
The Panzer General Series is truly an incredible step forward in turn based strategy. Not as simple as such games as Heroes of Might and Magic 3 but much more simple than The Battle of Kursk. In this middle nitche, players get to feel like they are running an army but they don't get saddled with the 3 to 1 logistic system.
It starts off not that impressive the first few levels but don't let it fool you. It gets much better. Easily my favorite platformer on the PS1.
9004 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What else can i say about this 16 bit CLASSIC? It always reminds me of great Christmas memories as Nintendo always seemed to release the 3 SNES DKC games near winter. And these games being my main gift was always a definite treat. I was so hyped up for DKC after the Nintendo Power VHS I received in the mail. I can still remember playing it and being BLOWN sway!! To this day, a CLASSIC! The graphics, music, & gameplay still blow my mind. Still hoping for that proper sequel. DKCReturns for Wii is cool...but i'd LOVE a real sequel to DKC3
3301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Terrible graphics. Terrible controls. Terrible voice acting. Best game ever.
One of the things that makes this game so fun, besides all the thug-beating, is the music. The music is kind of an up-tempo experimental electronica. The Sega Genesis receives alot of hindsight criticism due to it's inferior soundchip, but the music for Streets or Rage 2 really is top-notch and very memorable. In the days before video games actually had soundtracks, Streets or Rage 2 actually warranted a soundtrack because people legitimately enjoyed it so much. You have to hear it to truly appreciate it. The music is so excellent that it allows us to overlook the mediocre sound effects, such as each enemy having pretty much the same death scream and the repetitive sound effect of someone taking punches and kicks.
One reviewer said their 10yr old son liked the game. Yeah right. He just thought it was fun to play on the computer. Trust me, he wasn't actually playing the game. Most intelligent adults that i've asked about this game felt that it nearly drove them mad and they got pretty angry at the game. Not because they were not smart enough, but because the game really tests your patience and most of all- doesn't give you adequate rewards for your efforts. Sometimes when you step in an elevator the door automatically closes. Then, another time, you learn that you have to close the door yourself. I don't feel like I'm playing a game, I feel like I'm just learning how the game creators try to stump us. I will not be playing Riven, or anything else by these people. Which is truly sad because the graphics in Riven look amazing. If they spent less time on complexity and size, and put more work in the story, and the drive, it could have been worth my while. I had more fun playing Aura, even with the nausea-inducing 3D nagivation. Syberia remains the champion.
It was the first FF to be made on psx and the gameplay graphics were OK. But the CG graphics were really REALLY good.
3089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game blew me away when I first bought it. It's one of the best Final Fantasy games out there. The graphics aren't great, but you should mostly enjoy the storyline, not how it looks.
to hit a home console. As such, at the time of it's release not too many
3813 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had this game for years, and always go back a play through from time to time . :)
This has its advantages and disadvantages. The world you explore is much larger, and you can progress over virtually the whole world without needing to solve many puzzles, allowing even a casual player a good glimpse at the world of Riven.
The graphics and music are top notch, thanks to RARE and Nintendo's ability to extract the most from the SNES's capabilities. Even by today's standards, these games are well above average.
Nonetheless I completed the game on Hard. Having died 3 or 4 times being annihilated by Nemesis. My only question is... why wasn't there a "Normal" or "Original" mode to play? I like to be challenged and enjoy the game at the same time. Playing on Hard was difficult and irritating. Especially when you have an 8 ft. monster on your tail most of the time.
Still, playing a couple of Lara Croft's adventures showed me why this series still continues; it delivers exactly what it promises, and does so with panache.
- The CG movie Final Fantasy: Advent Children is a direct sequel to this game
Well, when I finally loaded it in, I was in for a big surprise. Shortly thereafter, I rushed out to get FALLOUT2.
In addition to the Multiplayer aspects, it has an excellent Single-Player mode. It's mission objective based (meaning that failure is entirely possible), and as difficulty increases, so do the number of objectives and conditions you have to fulfill.
-The "final boss" is far too easy...but don't be too sure of that...
First off - There is no train. The PC version has a fully working train that you can hijack and even put into reverse.. sure, it may be useless to crash into another train, but it was entertaining. The PS version doesnt have a train.. but yet, it has the tracks for it, so go figure that one out.
1306 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the exact game I played when I was younger! :) very fun and good seller
8218 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Clock Tower is a great survival horror game for the playstation. It's different than Resident Evil, very different. You do not shoot, stab, or blow anything up. You run and hide!
Shotgun
Another plus is you will find every one of the games for less than half their original price, given that the DC has been discontinued.
3531 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Dreamcast was a system I obtained In 2000 as a Christmas gift. I wanted a Ps2 and acted like any slightly spoiled child would when I opened it. Ten years later I still have one and enjoyed it very much. In no way am I saying that Ps2 didn't blow this console out of the water however ten years later I still play it. My first dreamcast I did absolutely no up keep to it but sadly a hazed friend of mine belly uped my first off of a counter by snagging the controller I lazily left out. Luckily I was able to replace it new for 75$.Over that ten years everything worked great on my first except for some reason Shenmue did not like to be read. I believe that meant the eye was going out or my dreamcast just did not like that particular disk(s).Some games on a disk sometimes didn't work on other dreamcasts. If that happens you need to repurchase the same game and usually the other disk would work. For some reasons some disks wouldn't work on some dreamcasts. This was/is uncommon but it happens.
6467 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Electronic Arts has their papers in order. This game was the first FPS I played for the PS1. One of the best FPS games of all time. Epic campaign, fun multiplayer, and cool cheats make this game the best medal of honor game of all time. The funnest part of this game is shooting the officers in the head after they asked you for your papers and they said they were not in order. Must buy if somehow don't already have this classic.
My overall gripe with this purchase is the money, for those who don't understand as to why it costs so much is for two reasons: #1 is because the game did not sell as well as it should have, and #2 is because shortly after the sequel the company (Whoopee Camp) disbanded. In short, making the game more sought after than rare.
All these years later the feuds have changed.
The first thing most gamers will notice is that RE3 isn't intended to be a full blown sequel, but rather more of a side mission designed specifically for veterans of the first two games who thought they were two easy and wanted something more challenging. Plus it would buy time for the next real sequel, RE: Code Veronica. It's quite clear that Capcom had this group of fans in mind when designing the third game. There are two difficulty settings, and although RE3 isn't intended for newbees of the series, the easy mode does give you plenty of ammo to survive most of the game without any problems. Hard mode, on the other hand, is VERY tough and it teaches you to conserve ammo and health items until they are absolutely needed. And even though it was always important to save the game in the past, it's STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you do it here, because it's that tough. The action is certainly more challenging, and it offers a plethora of small improvements over the other games.
8870 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Metroid series is one of the greatest sci-fi action/adventure video game series, and while perhaps not the greatest game in the series this game is still worthy to be a part of that series.
3470 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game when it came out wich was around 1999 and 2000
3954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you play console-like games on your PC, this is a must have. There may be more expensive and perhaps even better gamepads out there, but this has done the job for me for almost THREE YEARS and I've never had a problem with it. There aren't very many products at such a low cost one can say that about these days.
The gameplay and control is fricken awesome u can control mario in more ways then 1.
8095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will always remember when I first learned that we got a SNES. It was the summer of 1992. Growing up in rural Oklahoma, my parents had a cow tank that we used for a swimming pool that we chlorinated. I was in that tank all the time. My father and my brother had gone to Oklahoma City (about an hour away from where we lived), and they had gotten an SNES, with "Super Mario World" prepackaged. I immediately dried off, ran upstairs and my brother and I were immersed in Mario bliss.
Twisted Metal 4: bad
anyway, it has a LCD memory card, with buttons and mini games, a 1.3 GB CD capacity, and a revolutionary controller and internet browser. i reccommend this to anyone with a TV and money.
3561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 SEGA did not recieve neary enough credit for this beautiful machine. Games like Shenmue, the Virtua sports lineup, and Soul Calibur were all so brilliantly supported on this transition system. Few realize that this game console came long before its time, as it was revolutionary in its gaming library. Seaman, Jet Grind Radio, Chu Chu Rocket, Phantasy Star Online, Echo the Dolphin, and other unique games were simply so pioneering that no one really wanted to play them. Everything about this system and its games drip with innovative content. This was the first system to use Cell Shading, a coloring method that has become popular these days with games like Viewtiful Joe, XIII, and Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The SEGA Dreamcast needs some love and appreciation. If you have one sitting around your house, collecting dust, brush it off and play it a little, and if you don't own one, pick one up and try it out. I can guarantee a very unique gaming experience. Best of all, the games on this system are extremely cheap. Just give it a try.
- Graphics looked dated, to today video game players
8714 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game has alot of worlds and is challenging to beat at some points it is a two player game as well solo u also get alot of new gaurdians then number 1
2400 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who doesn't want to be a pod racer?
6701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Alright, I know there are those with the gripes (can't save, only 12 levels, blah blah blah) but this game is pretty old guys. This game was released in 1989 and there weren't very many games back then that you actually could save on. Second, there are only 12 levels and they're extremely short. You can beat the game in simply 30 minutes. There should be no reason why anyone should have to save at all. It's very easy to rack up several lives thanks to the bonus game that Nintendo threw in as well.
- It is not much of a challenge.
Once you've finally defeated the Mother Metroid, you will get a surprise/cliffhanger ending that will eventually be crossed over to Super Metroid for the Super NES. So I hope that by the time you've read this, you are already downloading this awesome installment onto your Nintendo 3DS!!! :)
If you like classic 2d games, these are pretty good. I am gonna finish ff5 after starting over and plan to do the same with 6. They are both good and the editor said "ff5 should of stayed unreleased". When you say something like that, you clearly did not play the game. It is innovative and fun. Great value for 2 great games!
Second, the battle system is incredible. It is a true-to-form RPG, yet has characteristics of live-action battle. It goes far beyond selecting your actions and watching them unfold. You control one character, and the AI for your other party members is quite effective. In the most strategic battles, I find myself jumping between characters to throw little moves inbetween their automations.
Nice Game Fun - Easy to Play - Overall Rating 3.9 Stars.
There were a great deal of side quests and minigames, which I enjoyed immensely. Snowboarding was my personal favorite. :-) You can spend hours completeing the sidequests alone, and most people end up detouring from the plot for vast amounts of time at the Gold Saucer.
The game has a simple concept: build and mantain a theme park. To those that ever played any of the "Sim" games such as Sim City 3000, 4, or Sim Theme Park, this share the same basic concept. It is a typical simulation game. However, I find it very addictive and love this game!
6157 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well, bugs, bugs, an more bugs ! Fun game to play.....a little bit on the boring side at times. Game play is ok, interfact is good ( read the book!) But it a WAY TO EASY to "win" I give this a high rating because it is fun to play, an I am a big fan, but this is a game that people should take a little time with an make sure that they get the updates.
3515 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With this being the 10 year anniversary of the announcment of the death of the Dreamcast I thought I'd write a eulogy. It started out so right, it seemed Sega was going to be able to fix the errors of years past, make the comback that they deserved, and reclaim their title as king of the arcade. With launch titles such as Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, it seemed almost too good to be true. It had revolutionary features. The VMU was the first, which was a handheld system and memory card that provided a LCD screen for the controller, that changed based on game and context. Next was the built in modem, it allowed not only internet access and web browsing straight out of the box, but also supported online play, a first for consoles. It had the first MMO, phantasy star online, free to play. But it also had other games that were amazing, Project Seaman, with its voice recognition through the microphone, Jet Grind Radio, which was the first to feature cell shaded graphics, Shenmue was the first to feature a massive open ended world, and the countless acade perfect ports of games like Marvel vs. Capcom 1+2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Hydro Thunder. It was the last Japanese and Arcade based system. It had everything a gamer could ever want, it was affordable, reliable, inovative, connected, revolutionary, powerful, and had a massive library of games from every genre. It had core and casual games, single and multiplayer, and had online and offline games. Its such a shame that Sega made all the right moves but no one cared. If you conisder yourself a core gamer, you owe it to yourself to look at this system one more time.
So.....what are you waiting for? Buy it!
I've read the RPG books that this game is based on, and I've always wanted to try out Vampire: The Masquerade, but I could never get into it because of the steep learning curve and "politics" of the game. Well, V:tMR does a great job of introducing this world to beginners like me, and with a "Storyteller" mode, even I can make my own stories and campaigns.
The loading times are almost null and the kombat develops at a fast pace. The only thing though, when playing with Shinnok, if you do a transformation into another character the game freezes half-a-second and then it goes well. So I personally don't like morphing into any character to avoid this.
8494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best and most fun RPG I've ever played. It is well worth the money.
Cops to easily provoked
The 1998 video game was made exclusively for the Nintendo 64, and not upon any other console. Ironically, the prequel, San Fransisco Rush, was made on both the N64, and the Playstation. The game features many exciting and enduring automobiles through the streets of some of the biggest cities in America, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Hawaii. The game also includes the infamous Alcatraz prison, a hidden course from the previous Rush. Many fans were shocked to know why the game wasn't on any of the other consoles at the time. The sales for the Playstation version of Rush were just awful, and Midway chose to put this only on Nintendo 64.
Now to the game. Patch the game before you play it. Download patch 2.0 (25mb). Ok, the game is very realistic. For rookie sim fans wanting to fly and do some sightseeing around Germany on a B-17, this is not the game for you. By the time you get close to one of the radar sites surrounding Germany, dozens of attack fighters will feed you with lead until you either crash or turn back. This is a war sim ergo no free fly mode. Graphics does the job in the game although not that spectacular, for most of the flight, you'll be looking at open pastures and green until you get to your target. The travel time is very realistic. From your airbase to your target, you'll actually be flying the whole trip in real time. Sit back and relax during this trip, its going to be a long trip---enjoy it while it lasts because once the shooting happens, you'll be scambling for dear life. Missions in the game are historical and they are very difficult to accomplish but not impossible. Flight dynamics are superb (specially after you patch the game). These bombers are just hard to fly but hey this is 1943 people, they don't have the hardware like what planes have now. Special mention to the Norden bombsight instrument. This is a bit complicated to use. It shouldn't surprise history buffs since most of the bombs dropped during WWII never really did hit their targets. Dont expect to see HUDs or targetting reticles here. Everything is DEAD aiming and pure luck.
6306 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A wonderful story and really intresting charecters. Here is my pros and cons
3558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The late Sega Dreamcast was a grand to look at. It was the best Sega had ever done and that's saying alot. Sega went out with a bang with this masterpiece of a system. This is the first system to also introduce Online Gaming. That's right the Sega Dreamcast started with the Online. Sega was on a role with this game when it first hit stores for about 199.99 and the system was worth it. It was just breath of fresh air.

1730 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had this game given to me for free years ago on the PC format. I liked it, but for some reason it crashed on me one day and I mustve done something to the disc, 'cause it never worked or would reinstall on any computer after that.
2135 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its a great substitute for the Nintendo .I bought it for my brother, he installed it and it works fine.
You play as either the much quicker Rash or the brutally strong Pimple. Either/Or, Battletoads will challenge you in a lot of different ways from playing the levels to defeating enemies to thinking of your strategy for this game.
This a must have collection if you can still find a copy. To play these games in their orginal arcade version is a dream come true.
5232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pros:
9146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Intelligent Qube is one of those rare gems for the Playstation, and it is interesting to know that one can find humble and challenging games among the giants of flashy graphics.
2. Battle System!!... I can't stress importance about having good battle system. With no random encounter and isomatric, semi full-time battle, it is definitely more fun than conventional system set by FF for too long.
There's only 9 stages...a few of which are really bad like Kirby's, and the Pokemon one's not too great either. But there's good ones also like Hyrule, Fox, Mario and the Donkey. Then there's the nostalgic ones.
This is a 'real time' game, and after a while, either it decides you're not playing enough, or the time system just breaks...either way, unless you play it almost nonstop, it will start killing your plants and your livestock will mysteriously hate you.
It arrived in a medium sized box, and it had like, 20 layers of saran wrap on it, which was kind of annoying to peel off, but I suppose it did its job in keeping the console safe, and the console itself is only a little bigger than the controller.
Game works as described, may need some blowing into the cartilage but that is a given for any veteran N64'er. Arrived on time with no real issues. Oh be sure to erase any already saved data in the options hut, where would the fun in having all those stars given to you already be?
2440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this with my cousin when I was little and while I have played both the others this is still a great game to go back to. This is a must own
So in conclusion, this game is FLAWLESS! If you want something that will satisfy your gaming pleasure for many a day, this is it. Final Fantasy VII is quite possibly the best game ever made, and in my opinion is still unrivaled.
Pros: Characters that were deeply thought out and well woven into the plot
The difficulty of this game is surreal, I constantly see myself getting bombarded by projectiles, random skateboards, and other enemies in the game. Though I do like how I can travel through actual B&BH areas, actually finding out what you're suppose to do is a task.
I can recommend two better tactical srpg games before you make this purchase: Vandal Hearts for psx and Shining Force 2 for the Genesis or Wii Virtual Console(I would go the latter since genesis and snes games have issues with the save battery due to age) or if endless grinding is your thing then Disgea series is another good recommendation.
440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a+
108 characters?! That's right, the 108 Stars of Destiny are here again, and as usual, each character is different. From a stuck-up mage-warrior to a clueless-beyond-relief teleporting mage, each character has their own personality, and own abilities. Furthermore, each character will normally have something different to say depending on what's going on. For once, the characters are not just "robots"... They actually have "life", so to speak. You can truly love some characters, and hate others, and that's what you want in an RPG, right?
2778 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this game where I was a character locked in a dungeon, had to find my way out and then around castle Shadowgate to finally meet up with the main bad guy. This is not a slash around killing game, it is a puzzle and thinking game. You walk around picking up things, talking to people, doing things a certain way to see what happens. You can get killed in this game, so be sure to save often, your last save point is where you will start again if you are killed. You need a memory card to save with this game! I did get stuck in the game several times, at least 3 times and had to write to Nintendo to find out how to proceed! But with their help I made it to the very end. This game is appropriate for children that can read, as you must read to play the game, and there is no goulish violence.
1436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best Mario games I've ever played. The game starts out when Mario gets a letter from Peach to come to the castle. Mario is so excited he rushes to the castle. When he gets inside he hears a voice that tells him to scram, and that's when his adventure begins. The first world is very easy but then they start getting more diffucult as you progress. The thing that makes this better than any other mario game is that you have more enemies, stars to collect, a race with a penguin and much more. If you don't have it yet, buy it!
9750 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was debating buying this game for so long but now that i bit the bullet and found it used for 4$ thanks to amazon.com i have never felt so happy, this game brought back so many old school feels of me racing listening to my Jay-Z and Wu-Tang albums eating fruity pebbles at 6AM trying to run a race before school, it was the best, Now that im older and appreciate those times even more it makes it all the more fun. Thanks Amazon and the guy who sold it to me for 4$.
6569 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Me and my brother play for few times. we keep this as our collection. I recommend this game for other.
Along the way, Cloud is joined by Barret, who looks and talks like Mr. T from the A Team. Tifa Lockheart and Aeris Gainsborough also join him - both are characters that are found on the FF/Disney blend Kingdom Hearts.
4998 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 classic. total classic. had to see where the series began and i gotta say its one of the best titles in the series thus far next to #2.
For players weaned on jet fighter games, it would be advisable to use the non-1940s HUD (Heads Up Display) view option. I (since I am new to this game myself) still use it in the Campaign mode since the "Cockpit" view option, while more realistic, is still a bit overwhelming to me. Purists and/or experienced pilots can set realism to 100% to their heart's content, but casual players or rookies should start out easy then gradually increase the realism settings.
The story in FF7 was very well done; fit very nicely with the characters and surroundings. At first playing FF7, I didn't really think much of the story... until they started to developing the characters, and other minor aspects in to place. Once the game progressed, I could tell that I was starting to become entwined with this game; not only physically, but emotionally as well. One thing on the story I feel that they could have portrayed better, would have been how it all started... they never really went into much depth of how it all started.
The game also features a training mode called VR Mode where you can practice hiding techniques, weapon use and sneaking. This is one of the best games on the original PlayStation and the only flaw I see with this game is that you cant aim in first person view mode which can make it difficult to shoot some of the enemies. But other than that, the game is practically flawless, it has great graphics, is challenging and one of the most detailed story lines of all time. It is simply a masterpiece and a must play for any kind of gamer.
Two criticisms- First, I found the physics to be a little jerky. Not quite as smooth as Q3, which is strange considering this game uses that engine. Second, the game play was just a little too easy- the creatures weren't all that challenging. Even the bosses. Oh, and one more thing- the AI of your teammates was pretty sad. They kept running in front of my line of fire and then yelling at me when I shot them.
3707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This may be a dated title, but I will still go out of my way to bring out and dust off my old PS2 to play this game.
3362 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really fun game. Use to play it back in day. One of my favorite movies of all time is, you guessed it, "Jurassic Park" I bought this game for my brother for his birthday. He really enjoys playing it and it is a really good gift
The only draw backs to the game were a few errors, such as appearing in a new level without any of your items (which include some Infernal Machine parts which are critical to getting through most levels.) Aside from that, the game is very good.
5657 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've played Unreal Tournament, Rainbow Six, Quake 3 Arena and Half-Life. Half-Life has the best single player game, that's not in dispute. Unreal Tournament has all the eye candy and colored lighting along with nifty weapons. Rainbow Six has the grave sense of realism one shot, one kill. But for all and out motion and complete absence of pop-up, bezier curves and moving action, Quake 3 is the archetype for everything that follows.
465 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well here I am. Making a review of a game made in the mid 90s in this year, 2011. What can i say? This bring backs amazing memories.
6279 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It came in pretty good condition,only thing that sucks is it didn't come with a expansion bay but they didn't origionally come with it so im not taking away stars.overall its perfect i will be getting the expansion soon
1138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game and never wanted to stop. In my opinion, this is the best RPG game ever. It is fun just to play, and run around. The graphics are great, and it is just plain fun. What is also nice is that getting past certain parts of levels aren't very hard, and you don't get upset playing it.
The gameplay seems to strike an irritating nerve with some gamers. First I must say I have seen worse FF battle systems. Actually you get to take a break from needing to have MP (Elixirs whatnot) or upgrading materia and just stock magic. This only becomes a problem if you stock every freaken magic you see. Only stock the well worth magic. Your level must be high enough to get certain types so train well or if you are an expert, use other means. However, the atb system is active so you must move quickly. I love the almost 1min cinematic moves which reminds me a lot of Legend of Dragoon. This Final Fantasy mixes that and then takes music and fighting to a whole new scale. You know if the music changes or slows down, the boss is going to be a problem (Omega, Adel, Griever, Ultimecia etc.). Also guys, the junction is easy as hell to learn. It was so easy to put together that I learned it within a few minutes after buy. These are not valid reasons to throw the game under the bus. Final Fantasy gameplay shouldn't be so repetitive. But to continue, like all FF parts, we get to see some of the same summoning's and powerful magic on the field. Gameplay 10/10.
6946 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Wargods is a much better game made by the same people for the N64. This game is somewhat glitchy and straining. Save your money. Buy a better Mortal Kombat game for a newer system. Not worth having.
Until I played it....
Miscellaneous
People familiar with the show (and very familiar with the episodes) might recognize a few elements borrowed from certain episodes. The game borrows heavily off of Seasons 2 and 3 of Beavis and Butt-Head, with the most references being made to the episode "Babes 'R' Us" (The boxing glove on a bat, the way they are slammed by their legs by Buzzcut), and other references coming from episodes like "Couch Fishing", and "Lawn And Garden". Characters like Daria, Stewart and Van Driessen are your punching bags/allies, whilst Principal McVicker, Buzzcut, Mr. Anderson, Todd and Earl are, like, your non-friends, huh huh.
Get extra money & tear gas the sick guy your trying to save.
1733 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even now, I still love playing this 7 year old game on my PS2. It opened the door to greater things. The resident evil series is my favorite video game line ever.
1881 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Unless you still have a PS 1 and like it, the game sucks. Bought it for my Son(5) and playing it on a PS2.

Buy this game, just do so.
Reasons why this is a great game are simple:
Here is a list of weapons:
While the cars are before the new millennium it's kind of cool to see what was popular back then and how things have advanced. While the graphics are nothing to today's standards GT2 was one of the few games that pushed the PS1 to its limits. You HAVE to play GT2 if you're a racing fan regardless.
5406 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a great game that I enjoyed playing a lot. The point of the game is to raise a monster. You start with a low leveled monster, your goal is to make them learn different attacks and win money against other trainers in battles. This game is very similiar to Pokemon. The only thing I didn't like was after you raise a macho battle-ready monster that took hours to train, it dies. Anyway this game is a great game!!
I propably would have given this game 5 stars, but since I played Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, I have chosen to limit myself to 4 stars, as there are a lot of things that are enhanced in SoA.
7044 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for my young son (age four). The controls are easy and the pictures easy to see. The games are fun and easy to learn. He has had very little problems with this game. I have enjoyed playing on it as well.
4609 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game packs lots of action and a great soundtrack. It is great port of the PC game but the levels are not quite the same. As one who has played Quake ports or pretty much every available hardware (N64, PSX, PC, PocketPC, Symbian OS, Apple iOS, Windows Mobile etc) this game is invaluable.
For the time period, Zelda OCT on the 64 was beautiful and it has stood the test of time FAR better than other older games on consoles. It was the first truly 3D game for a console and set the standard for what video games should look like. If you grew up on newer systems and PC's, these graphics will look "blocky" to you, but the Gamecube has an OCT version with more refined graphics. Still, if you want a "retro" video game experience, the N64 Zelda OCT has graphics that are still enjoyable today.

2820 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ape escape best game to come out on ps1 . use to love as kid and now love as adult . happy to share with my kids , its super fun and challenging if u love this game buy ape escape 2&3 its even better. I like all the gadgets on this game.
6988 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is not what you'd expect from Rare or from the Donkey Kong series. The game has a really basic plot: The bad croc is going to blow up Donkey Kong's island. Everyone, including me, was expecting super graphics from the expansion pack (which you need to play this game). Not true. The graphics are a bit better then the average game, but not as good as they could be. The game is remarkably similar to Banjo-Kazoie (another 1 star game) in that you learn moves as you progress through the game, something I HATE! The characters also speak in mumbles that get annoying. However, probably the worst part is that the game play is boring and it is hardly challenging. I beat the first level fully and almost beat the 2nd through 5th levels in the first week I had it and I haven't touched it since. The only good part is the multi-player mode. So, if you're going to buy an N64 game, look elsewhere.
140 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product is very good and works fine. Buy it if you want it. it lets your we display in HD format of 480p which looks alittle better than normal Av cable it comes with. To the untrained eye you might not even notice the diffrence.
Okay, sometimes the game might slow down when too many enemies are on the screen at once. Big deal. Slow down has always been an overrated problem among most people who complain about it, in my opinion. Just because a game occasionally slows down a *little* bit shouldn't be a reason to put a game down, EVER.
4560 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love Tony Hawk skating games. This one is just as fun as the other ones, and has many modes to play.
6739 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From the Great Wall of China to the canals of Venice, Tomb Raider II is the rare case in which a sequel is better than an original. In fact, I find this game to be my favorite of the series. In it the legendary Lara Croft sets out to find the Dagger of Xion. In her quest she navigates the globe, and even takes a couple of trips to strange and magical new worlds.
6180 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Please hear me out. Let me try to explain why I gave this system such a low rating.
Firstly, the omission of the first three iterations of Street Fighter II is glaring. Given the lack of complexity of those games, one has to wonder if Capcom's developers were too lazy (or their marketers too greedy) to finish those titles for this release, instead leaving them for Street Fighter Collection II. Graphically the games are preserved admirably, although CD audio forces the game to start each track over when speeding the tempo up, unlike in the arcade games. The long load times are excruciating, as is each title requiring its own Memory Card block, when the high scores for both titles could easily fit into a single block.
I should note that Batman Forever was available on several different platforms. The Super Nintendo version might've been slightly better than the Sega Genesis one, but merely because of the controls not necessarily because one console was better than the other. Let's start with the basics though. The game is based off the movie and divided into eight levels. Before each level you get to choose two gadgets to take into each stage. Batman has a good arsenal of tools. You have the Bat Bola which can render enemies temporarily immobile, smoke grenades or even a device that makes you invincible so long as you're using it correctly. Players don't just have to play as Batman either. One can also play as Robin. While Batman uses exclusively his fisticuffs, Robin actually has a staff he can use as well. The two also sometimes get different gadgets they can choose from. While Batman as pellets and grenades, for instance, Robin has a blinding light, tranquilizer darts and wrist rivets to stop enemies in their tracks. There are also default gadgets the two have on them all the time such as the Batarang.
Well, lets just say that its not hard but its not easy, of course the actual battles are fairly simple if you know what your doing. And leveling up your characters & materia are the only main factors you have to worry about in progressing in the game. The problem with moving your character around is that your fumbling around with the directional sometimes because its not quite calibrated right. Or its just the camera view, however its annoying at times.
Just Remember parents this game is quite violent definitly not for enyone uder 13.
8868 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good product
8515 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent game!
Take death. Yes, that pesky death stuff that seems to happen to gamers when they encounter a group of basilisks or perhaps a bandit or three. No problem for Planescape - you're immortal! Not only that, but deaths actually help you sometimes, jarring loose memories that were until that point hidden. Like who you are. What you're about. Why you're immortal when apparently nobody else is.
6757 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own both Sega Geneis and Super Nintendo, and Genesis woops SNES! Graphically, they are about equal. Vectorman for Genesis and Donkey Kong for Super Nintendo can testify to that. But when it comes to games, its close, but Geneis reigns supreme. Yes, Super Nintendo (or the SNES) has Chrono Trigger but that can't compete with Shining Force, the best 16 bit game ever made. Vectorman woops Super Metroid as the best 2-d shooter ever made, wit intense fire fights and airial attacks from flying 'bots, Vectorman was one of Sega's jewels. Sonic and Mario are about equal, but Sonic woops Mario when it comes to action and fun. Both systems are good, but if your looking for te best of the best, Genises has them.
Giga Wing 1&2
* Too many difficult enemies
In conclusion, for us long-timers here this game never gets old. For the newcomers, get ready to experience something extraordinary. To quote the back of the Playstation case.. "What erupts goes beyond imagintion".
My advice: Buy this game if you have at least the bare minimum hardware. Wait until it is dark and quiet to begin playing it. Prepare to have all of your emotions thoroughly smacked-around and sent through a rollercoaster ride of action and drama.
The lack of exploration hurts the replay factor for the game. You can play it over and over to get a better time and see all the endings but besides that the game is not one you will play all that often. Some people have called it the black sheep of the series. I don't think its that bad they could have added some twists about finding the research teams that disappeared or a sub boss or 2 would have been nice. Overall I would rate it 3 1/2 stars, It may be the weakest in the series of Metriod games but it is far from unplayble. A lot of the things that made Super Metroid great were taken from this game so you have to look on the bright side. The game is probably worth $5 to $10 used nothing more.
2091 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember renting this back in the day when Playstation was still in its infancy. I really like this game and I still play it today!
I had always heard how DK64 was such a classic, and so naturally I wanted to finally buy and beat it.
We are then taken to the TCS Midway, a gargantuan super carrier that will be the focus of the game and your home base for the duration. It is truly a magnificent ship and about the same size as Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer-about 8,000 meters in length. It acts as a mobile base for the Terran Confederation and designed to be the center piece of a larger armada. It is here that we meet Lance Casey-your character-who is fresh from the academy and son of a famous TCN pilot. We also meet up with old Wing Commander alumnus-Maniac (Tom Wilson) who takes every opportunity to belittle Casey until getting his comeuppance in the worst way and by numerous members of the Midway's crew.
Things such as a horse you can call and run about the world, play carnival-like games to win power-ups, collect hard-to-find items such as the two-handed sword (which is better than the master sword, but you can't use a shield), magically powered arrows, and more!

3680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tekken 3 is the best fighting game I have ever played! If you loved Tekken than you HAVE to play Tekken 3! My cousin has Tekken and I liked it alot so I bought Tekken 3. Let me say, Tekken 3 is 10 times better than Tekken. It has alot of new and old characters(or alot of characters)like Law,King,Nina,Jin, Whoarang,Xiaoyu,Eddy,Paul,Lei,and Yoshimitsu. It has a ton of characters that you can unlock if you beat arcade mode like Mokujin,Ogre,True Ogre,Heihachi,Kuma(or Panda),Julia,Bryan,Anna,and Gun Jack. You get up immediatly from falls. It has alot of modes like Arcade, Tekken Force where you walk along and beat people up and face a boss, practice, and more. I unlocked all the characters and unlocked a new mode called Tekken Ball mode where you play volleyball and if you don't hit it back to the other guy your life gets reduced. And theres new fighting styles so buy this game, you'll be glad you did!
9594 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow
I only wish that Nintendo hadnt stopped making Game Boy Color games because we could have seen The Legend Of Zelda,Kid Icarus,Metroid,Ghosts N Goblins and Mad Max on Game Boy Color cartridges if they hadnt stopped making Game Boy Color games. Its sort of sad if you ask me.
I don't get why a kid's game can get difficult to beat. I mean, I own mature games like Jak 2 and Oblivion and they are a whole lot easier by comparison. If you are looking for a challenging game, this is your cup of tea. But if you want a kid's game that you can just glide through, I recommend Spyro.

3305 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was my introduction to the Resident Evil franchise and the survival horror genre, so it means a lot to me. I don't rate games or movies based on nostalgia, because let's be honest: some things just don't age well in the test of time and lose their effect that may have been once powerful in one's childhood. However, I must say: this still stands out as the best zombie horror game ever made. Best survival horror game ever made? That could be debatable with other strong contenders such as Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space 1. However, as far as zombie/mutated creatures games go, this stands on top. It has numerous jump scares and a great creepy atmosphere that leaves you tense while exploring the abandoned Raccoon City police department.
* Your park is rated so you need this to be high to pass most objectives, plus the guest toll or the park value. There are usually time limits.
880 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tiberian sun is an example of how a real time game should be. Great campains where you can be either Nod or GDI. This game also has great skrimishes. Where you can play the computer on a diffrent level of difficulty and can play anwhere from 1-7 enimies. With alot of diffrent units and buildings this game is not to be missed.
3258 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Absolutely great game and it came in near perfect condition. Now some of you may be wondering why I took one star off and that is simply due to the product coming in a day late on one day shipping. As far as the game goes I'd highly recommend this game to survival horror fans and Resident Evil fans alike. Code Veronica and Code Veronica X are great changeling games within the series, and despite it lacking features that were present in Resident Evil 3 it still manages to be just as good if not better than 3, which is one of my personal favorites in the series.
1-Emerald hills(88%)A great starting level.
Ms. Pac-Man: MSPCMND
4-Casino nights(84%)This level set the standard for 'fun' levels in Sonic games to come. But the boss is quite hard!
The game starts with your character waking from a crash in a foggy town. You walk around until you see the shadow of your daughter in the distance. You chace her through the fog and snow but can't seem to catch up. She heads into an alley way. YOu go down. THere's a fence that says, "Beware of Dog." I was thinking, "Well, I need to find a weapon." I look in my inventory and all I have is a lighter. I cannot attack and I cannot do anything with the lighter... "Okay, let's go inside. Maybe there will be a gun there?"
Pros

There's only one game that has ever been able to take me completely out of my element and take hold of everything I love about games and never let go.
8907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was never that happy with my experience with the 3D Metriods as they felt to confining,and not deep. Although I haven't played Corruption yet. But Super Metriod is the game that got me reinvigorated about the series. Its just fantastic with plenty of puzzles,great Super Nintendo graphics and great controls. You can actually wall jump. The powerups,upgrades and special abilities you can acquire,as you go,are always rewarding to find. Altogether the game is simply a quintessential platformer style shooter with timeless and addictive gameplay. Buy it!
That's not to say you can't fight in it. It wouldn't be a first-person shooter if that were the case. But no, your character (Garrett) is a thief, equipped with a sword for close work, and a bow for pretty much everything else. Since Garrett's hand-to-hand skills with the sword aren't the greatest, using ranged attacks with the bow is generally preferable, and more in keeping with the theme of the game. You can shoot someone, or something, with an arrow from the shadows (and get away with it) far more easily than you can try to hack at them with a sword. And don't forget to hide the bodies when you're done, as leaving them lying around will make it much more likely you get caught by anyone you've overlooked. You're also equipped with a blackjack for rendering guards unconscious, which comes in quite handy when the need for silence is paramount.
The level selection is the usual cliche pretty meadows/volcanoes/robotic factory fare, but in order to fulfill your quota of monkeys (capturing anachronistic, and very agile monkeys is the point of the game) you will have to navigate your surroundings in all of the three dimensions and utilize all of your equipment (monkeys are caught with a net, enemies are disposed of with a "force club", you can glide with a hand copter to reach higher ground, or swim via help of a motorized sub), which is part of the appeal. The levels are large and complex.
Magnums
If you are one who needs crazy challenges, try the gymkhana and good luck!
Possibly one of the best parts of the game is the other factions and how they react to you. Each faction can be dealt with in different ways. You can ally with them and eventually absorb them into your empire. You can conquer them and take their lands by force, or you can just leave them alone and let them do their own thing. Just don't expect them to leave you alone forever, they're trying to win the game too.

3637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased a Sega Dreacast last Christmas and couldn't be happier. The graphics are jaw-dropping and there's a truckload of games, 200 or so by Christmas 2000, some titles like Shenmu, Ecco the Dolphin, and Soul Calibur could be classified as works of art. As an engineer in the hi-tech field I'm always impressed by a design masterpiece, you can be assured I'm impressed with the Dreamcast. Now let's talk about the PS2, I've studied the Dreamcast and the PS2 for over a year by researching numerous design articles on the Internet and unfortunately for Sony, the word is getting out, the PS2 is a bad design. Sony had great plans for a powerhouse machine, but they all fell apart due to a serious design flaw that traumatizes the entire system. Here's the bottom line, the PS2 is severely limited by an anemic 4 MB Video ram memory in the graphics subsystem, this is the pipeline that controls video output to the screen, everything must pass thru this pipeline before it appears on the television. By comparison, the Dreamcast has twice the size of the PS2 pipeline, or 8 MB video ram memory. This still does not tell the complete story, the Dreamcast has a superior graphics engine that makes it's 8 MB pipeline perform more like 10 times the pipeline in the PS2, yes, that's right, I said 10 times. This gives the Dreamcast the ability to produce screen output the PS2 simply cannot match. This probably sounds hard to believe after all the hype you've heard about the PS2, but sadly, it's true. In a nutshell, Sony built a 750 horsepower Ferrari and then fitted it with a Ford Pinto exhaust system. No matter how much power the PS2 engine can deliver, the entire system is choked by the restricted output and software developers are left frantically scrambling trying to work around the problems this causes. Surely you've heard the PS2 is difficult to develop for, this is the main reason why. The results are quite revealing, if you compare the top games on both systems, you'll notice the Dreamcast is at least as good as the PS2 and many time's it's superior. The best example of this lies with two different fighting games, Tekken Tag on the PS2 compared to Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast, both games launched with the respective system. Namco, one of the finest game development companies on the planet, developed both titles. If it was within Namco's power, you can bet they wouldn't let the spanking new Tekken Tag on the PS2 be outshined by the 18-month-old Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast, but that's just what happened. Soul Calibur is a masterpiece that dwarfs Tekken Tag in any comparison. Another good example is EA Sports Madden NFL 2001 for the PS2 compared to NFL 2K1 for the Dreamcast. EA Sports has everything riding on the PS2 and cannot afford to be outdone by the Dreamcast. In direct comparisons, some say Madden NFL 2001 has slightly better graphics than NFL 2K1, but read almost any review you want, even some on Sony biased sights, and NFL 2K1 is the better game. Moving on, some Dreamcast games are thought to be impossible on the PS2, these are Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure, Ecco the Dolphin, and perhaps a few more. These games either have incredible detail and texturing, fast moving free roaming 3D environments, or both. Because it's choked by it's design, detail texture and fast moving free roaming environments are all difficult for the PS2. In other words, some things the Dreamcast can do with ease are near impossibilities for the PS2. Chances are you haven't heard comparisons like these before, but they appear to be true. A few more things to mention if your considering purchasing a new game console, the PS2 can play DVD's, the Dreamcast can't, that may be a selling point to some. On the other hand, the Dreamcast has an ACE up it's sleeve, it's internet ready out of the box and online gaming for the Dreamcast is here, right now, today, no fool' in. How good is online gaming on the Dreamcast? I've heard nothing but praise and worship for SegaNet, they use a system that reduces lag over an analog modem that makes an opponent across country seem like he's playing in you living room. In the online department Sony has completely botched up, Sega has a much better plan in place and Sony will never fully catch up. One last point, the PS2 plays old Playstation games with the same quality as the Playstation, a certain selling point. On the Sega side, a new software product called Bleem! will give the Dreamcast the ability to play around 400 Playstation games thru emulation, with 4X the screen resolution, graphics filtering, and jagged edge removal that the Sony machines can't accomplish. The Dreamcast will be a better Playstaion than the PS2, even a better Playstation than the Playstation itself. In conclusion, if you're a Sony fan and you don't mind the high price, go ahead and buy a PS2, the games will get better as developers master the system. The PS2 is an adequate machine and will be a smashing success with the following Sony already has, it's just not the revolution in console gaming that all the hype predicted. Now, if you think you want a PS2 because it's a superior machine, forget the hype, save yourself some money and go buy a Dreamcast, you won't be disappointed. The PS2 is vastly overrated and over-hyped, the Dreamcast is underrated and it's time for the truth to even up the score. Lastly, if you are a budget conscious consumer, buy a Dreamcast over a PSone anyday, it's 10X better.... Bottom line, the Dreamcast is a masterpiece of design engineering and it easily rivals the PS2, in many ways it's the superior machine, much to Sony's dismay.
2389 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 By now every man, woman andchild has heard of pokemon, and it's reputation. The cute little animals you catch in a ball and then force to fight eachother has captured the hearts of kids in America, and the wallets of parents. Many people hate this game with out even giving it a try. Why is that, the overly priced, merchandice, the barbaric card game (banned in many elementary schools and pre schools nation wide) and terrible TV show and average movies... When looking at all the [stuff] it's easy to forget the concept, and enjoyment of the game itself.
Grand Inquisitor is both high quality and a true Zork game. The humor is there, familiar locations are there, and the mood is most assuredly Zork. From a Brogmoid eating rocks to shoving a river raft in a dragon's nose to getting a house drunk... the game is pure Zork humor.
822 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games of all time.
6010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is without a doubt, one of the most addictive games ever released. The enjoyment you get from developing your character and watching as he or she kills all of the evil creatures is indescribable. With this game you have more options availible for your character with five classes and thirty skills for each. Also, when you complete the game once you are given the option to play in nightmare mode which is harder, but much more powerful items are dropped. After that, there is Hell mode which is VERY hard and there is even better weapons and items. All of this on top of terrific multiplayer adds up to very good value for your gaming dollar. The only flaws in this game are the less than spectacular graphics, which aren't horrible, but they could have been better. Also, the hardcore RPG crowd might not like this game as it is more action oriented and doesn't have the intricate character customization that "true" RPG's have. If this was a review for that type of game it wouldn't have gotten five stars, but taken for what it is, which is action/rpg, you can't find a better game.
Just playing the game gives you a view of how far technology has come, it might be old an not as detailed as some FPS games but still gives you a perspective of what technology used to look like back in 1996 when the N64 was released. Today this game remains a favorite among gamers. If you have kids & a N64 id take the xbox away for a day an have them play N64 so they can see where & how technology has taken Gaming. Just don't let them play 007 GoldenEye, have them play Diddy Kong Racing.
If you're thinking about buying it for someone else, go ahead and buy it: I've given three Battle Chests as gifts and it was a hit every time for both kids and adults, even to those who hadn't played this kind of game before.
1501 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't get why so many people complain about South Park 64. It has a decent story mode, many characters to unlock, and one of the most enjoyable multiplayer modes. The graphics and sound aren't great, but it doesn't matter when you and your friends are in tears from laughter after murdering each other with plungers and yellow snowballs.
Mario's fireball power-up is still intact (he wears a feather inside his cap), and the sound effect from both Super Mario Bros. 1 & 3 still sounds very awesome on the Game Boy! He also has a Bunny Suit power-up, which allows him to glide slowly to far-reaching platforms (press and then hold down the A button instead of constantly mashing it). I love how his "bunny ears" flop up and down each time he moves!
7202 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When I think of the N64, I think about great games and memories. Games like Golden-Eye 64, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and Banjo- Kazooie. Memories like getting my fore-head shot by my brother, grabbing my 120th power star, and meeting Princess Zelda for the first time.
Conclusion: If you loved these games in the 80's, you'll love them even more today! Especially, when you don't have to keep inserting quarters all the time into the machine. :) Don't delay, buy this cd today! You won't be dissapointed.
First thing to note: if you have Civilization 2, the major upgrade here is the ability to play over a network (which works pretty darn well).
Ok... now the F'er is following me, so I walk over to the very dated Street Fight 2, and start playing, he comes and watches for a second, then KERPLUNK,
Music: The battle music gets repetitive and so does the traveling music as I think they could've done a better job in that department. The voice acting was done really well but the women's voices do get a bit high pitched at times and it happens to the guys on occasion.
That's what you'll be left with. Enjoy.
So this time, Sonic must traverse the rest of Angel Island after bringing down the Death Egg (again) onto a volcano and stop Dr. Robotnik once and for all. However, Tails is gone for this round in place of being able to play as Knuckles the Echidna for the first time. He taunted and tricked you all throughout Sonic 3, but now you can rip through the stages as him, or get your revenge on him at last with Sonic. Either way, S&K holds up as its own giant adventure, with the same size of levels, graphics engine, powerups, and other features as the previous game.
5659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 They can make as many FF's they want, but this one will always be my favorite even with less graphics then todays FF this one blows them out the water.
1. The "main title" sequence. Most good Star Wars games pay homage to their parent media source (the films) by having the "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...." card and the title crawl setting up the game's storyline. Rebellion is set immediately after Episode IV, so in some ways the game can be used to imagine alternate timelines and different outcomes to those we saw in the movies. Actual cues from the John Williams scores add that touch of genuine Star Wars atmosphere to this starting screen.
Wicked Woods: A "scary" drive through a Sleepy Hollow style setting. Rightfully, the hardest course in the game.
The player uses a slingshot to shoot at stuff to get Pac-Man to notice them (You can also convince Pac-Man to look in a certain direction). It's like a shooting gallery crossed with an adventure game. However, since this is classified as an "interactive cartoon", there were definitely some bizarre reactions to what you shoot. For example, if you shoot a guy at a Hot Dog stand, he squirts ketchup onto Pac-Man in anger. Sometimes, the slingshot could be used to help Pac-Man find ways to progress (EX: A rope for him to climb, or shooting away a rock on a hill so Pac-Man doesn't trip over it). Or you can even shoot Pac-Man himself when he's about to meet his fate, so he could jump away (or you could just shoot him to anger him).

3639 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The slogan for this console is perfect. It offers changing scenerios as you play because the console is able to adjust itself to your ability to learn and your actions. It is compact, easy to use, has few wires and offers hours and hours of video game excitement. It is fantastic.
It's interesting to see things that have become standard fare in FPS games done here much earlier.
As it turns out, I had bad luck the first time I went through the tutorial. I had started the game in a situation in which I could do nothing. Except that I didn't know that since I had never played before.
4866 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This the funky-ist and phates game of the late 90s. It so much fun that I've recommend it to people that don't even like driving games. It's like driving GTA in 3D, and just soo much better. And the soundtrack alone is worth all the money. Tanner rules.
4182 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many of you are probably curious like I was,(1) is this game really that good? (2) Will I like the simulation gameplay since I am used to action/adventure games?(3) I heard it's like Bullfrog's Theme Park, and I hated that game. (4)etc, etc, etc.
3594 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I bought the dreamcast with high hopes. Mostly because of Street fighter and sonic games. The only good games are Sonic Adventure 2 and Dead or Alive 2. Sega has made systems that all have failed. Like the recent Saturn. For the first couple of days its good.
9298 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Having heard about *Payne* since my early Navy days, I went out to Fred Meyers electronic department last Tuesday and bought it. Over two long nights and part of Thursday afternoon, I beat it. Sucked in from the moment I saw the box art, I refused to escape this game. With few exceptions, four years of development show in *Max Payne*.
The best Twisted metal game was BLACK.
1271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the original that started it all. If you can you past the fact that it is quite dated, you will absolutely love everything about this title. The gameplay is rock-solid, and the game moves really fast. Camera is great, as the whole game is viewed from a bird's eye perspective. The game is very open ended, and you will never get bored while playing this.
Turok shows the people why he kicks ass!
1237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when this game first came out. It was mind blowing as to just how awesome it was! It had basically anyone & everyone you'd ever want in a wrestling game (minus some legends). And if you had 4 controllers & 3 friends.....It was going down for hours! Well, this game is still pretty cool despite it's age. The. Graphics obviously don't look as awesome as they used to. But still, they could look worse....And the gameplay is still easy to pick up & enjoy! Infact, I wish the wrestling games of today could get the controls simple & fluid as on this N64 game. If they could remake this game w/ an expansive create a player/wrestler and simple controls. I'd easily buy that too! I highly recommend this to anyone that is a game collector. Or anyone who hasn't played games of this era, but are getting older games. There is a crap load of characters, cool match modes. And as I stated earlier get controllers & some buddy's.
989 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Love this game. So much fun. It is even better with the cheats. One of the best games for the N64. I can play this for hours apon hours. I love this game.
First off, there's no way to save your progress through the game. All that you can do is save your character. When you reload the game, all of the bad guys are back. This gets EXTREMELY aggravating.
Pros:
1227 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had purchased quite a few games trying to find the one I remember. This game is fun and has a good roster of characters. The moves are simple and the game is fun hours on end. A good way to relax after a tiring day.
1002 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After playing "Turok: The Dinosaur Hunter" for ten minutes, I realized I had a great game at hand. It was like Mortal Kombat, except in a shooting-game. Blood everywhere, amazing enemies and weapons, and a good, good time. And I'll admit this; I don't actully play the Turok games. No, I'm sorry, I don't. It's not that their hard, or boring, but I don't play them...well, not without the cheats at least. As soon as I find out a new Turok game's coming, I get on the internet, go to Happypuppy.com, and find the Master Cheat. Yeah, it's pretty low, but it's fun to go in these blood-soaked shooter games. And the second one is no exception. I played this game without cheats for a few hours, made up my mind, and decided it was great, and would be even better with cheats.
Incredible graphics for the time.
And the game is tight. The controls are very well done. You can easily master the fast maneuvers to co-ordinate with the necessary actions and specific spacing needed. You'll get frustrated in some hard areas, but you will be able to play fast and risky (just kind of show off) or you can play slow and cautious. It's all up to you and if you want to take your time and get through it with as few attempts as possible or if you want to just try to fly through an area and risk killing yourself a lot. Sometimes luck favors the brave.
well.......
6607 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Maybe the best RPG of all time (Final Fantasy VI, or III USA) and its Japanese predecessor (Final Fantasy V, previously unreleased) combine to make a great set of games. Hours of pure entertainment!
The roller coasters have realistic physics. This is both good and bad. The good part -- if you are a roller coaster enthusiast, then you will love being able to design a working coaster. You control everything, from the height of the first drop to the colors of the trains. The bad part - designing even a mediocre coaster can get very tedious and expensive. One big coaster will chew up all of your cash, and if you are playing a short scenario, you probably won't be able to build another one. In addition, coasters take up a lot of space, and because of this, your park usually runs out of it. I have played almost all of the scenarios, and I have never really gotten to build the "ultimate" mega-coaster.
9558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game last month from Amazon. I am a collector of FF games, and this is a very good game for the collection. I wholeheartedly recommend collecting every FF game, if you are a huge collector.
This game is great and has a wonderful selection of weapons and other things. I highly recommend it and for anyone who has a Nintendo 64, get this game for your 64 collection isn't complete without it.
251 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 better presentation and would be a five
Only then did I go back to try the Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 games. Oh, my heavens!
Agility
5735 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. It plays well, it looks good (besides compared to DK64, Banjo-Tooie), and it does not slow down at all. Now, this is a platform game and you do not just try to jump up to some wall that is too high. You will have to solve puzzles. So nobody should complain because good games will challenge you. I only complain when the games are too easy and does not require brains such as Super Man 64.
Dualshock (Analog sticks): Worked, but the back L and R buttons (L2 and R2) would not trigger. Both analog sticks tracked perfectly.
947 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game came fast
The campaigns are a little better fleshed out as well, though the game itself is still primarily a standalone chess/stratego-like experience. The "game is a unit" experience is somewhat offset by being able to use heroes from one game in the next game. (This feature, unique to this sequel, has a distinct impact on how one plays the campaigns.)
For those who have played the card game in final fantasy 9, fear not its in here to, but in my opinion I feel its not as good, infact I couldn't win a single hand. The thing I hated most was almost every town had its own rules and then some towns used rules from many towns at once. To confusing for me but some people I hear really got the hang of it.
6463 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I for one LOVE this game. This game, Syphon Philter and Metal Gear Solid defined my childhood. I love how the disc was here a day before it was expected and there was no scratch on it whatsoever....it was as if it were brand new. I HIGHLY recommend it from these guys.
4187 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like this game a lot.
5730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ultima 6 and 7 have to be the best games I have ever played. I remember nights where I would stay up all night crawling thru a dungeon in 7 with the hairs on the back of my neck standing up because the game was so thrilling to play. Sure the graphics of 6 are outdated, but anyone who has played thru it entirely knows the gameplay more than makes up for it. These games had a very strange atmosphere which made you wonder what would happen next. Another great thing about them is you can move/steal any object and kill ANYONE at any time which adds up to months more entertainment besides just the great story. Ultima 8 however was a horrible action type game made by EA and not the original director. But 6 and 7 are a fantastic deal at this price, especially for collector like myself. The only gripe I have is that Ultima7 was not redesigned for windows and you may have some problems getting the mouse/sound to work. It would have been easy for them to redesign it for Win98 and would have saved alot of people headaches. Still this is a fantastic piece of gaming history. BUY IT NOW!
Storyline: What can I say, its your typical boy loves girl, girl gets kidnapped and boy saves world and girl. Fortunately, rpg's are great not because of the story but how the story is told and Working Designs did a brilliant job in the storytelling. They took the story and put a few twists here and there but not to the extreme or completely insane, they left it a simple story and made it an epic masterpiece. Lastly, this game has one of the most memorable villians in an rpg to date. Ghaleon is a great villian who has a great background story that unfolds extremely well during the game and in my eyes he ranks right up there with Sephiroth.
4163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What's not to love about this game . . . great game at a great price a must if your into war games and we all love a good fight .
Imagine, if you will, a first-person shooter in which it is not necessary to kill everything and everyone who crosses your path. There are a few like that. "Thief" takes it a step further, though. "Killing is messy," says your character at one point. While playing the game in Expert mode, a stated goal of many of the missions is specifically NOT to kill anyone. Rather than heavy weaponry and the adrenaline rush of charging an infinite horde of beasties, the goal in "Thief" is subterfuge, subtlety, and patience. Most especially patience.
(2) No sequel, what gives?
The sound in this game is quite remarkable. As you scan your park you'll intuitively now what parts are popular because you'll just hear that familiar buzz of humanity when you pass over it. You know what I mean, the soft buzz you hear at a baseball game in between innings or even at Disneyland throughout your day. It's just the sound of a ton of people all in one place. You'll know you're passing over your most popular ride because you hear the screams of riders and giggles of people at the ride exit. Oddly enough, next time you go to a theme park, you'll swear you hear sounds right from this game on the thrill rides.
I also loved the music in this game, each beat is catchy and it never got repetitive for me, and the sound effects were great as well...well the only complaint I could have is that there is no dialogue in the game, but I actually found the weird sounds from the characters kind of funny and I loved the insults between Kazooie and Bottles and Gruntilda's rhymes cracked me up, that's another reason I love this game, it has such a charm to it, not like some newer games, to many games have steered away from being innocent and charming, and this game has this quality.
But it's still a fun game and I can still play it.
The graphics, while nice, aren't the best in the world. Even the control (using the Playstation controller) is sometimes sticky. But believe me, you'll get used to it.
it on my WII VC, better than paying those ridiculous prices on Amazon, only fools & sheep would pay that much for
This game improved upon the limit breaks of FF6, which could only be used by deliberately keeping the characters at dangerously low HP levels, by adding the limit bar, and the barrier and mbarrier bars also made combat more interesting, leading many players to wonder why they were subsequently removed from the series. Some minor design flaws in this game include the three-character limit in battle, which reduces the player's ability to diversify the roles of the heroes, and leads the player, on a logical level, to wonder why the other heroes are unable to participate. Also, the overavailability of gil makes purchasing weapons and items too easy, and minimalizes the usefulness of alternate methods for party growth, such as stealing weapons and items.
Astal yells. He yells like a banshee every time it comes time to toss some rock or an enemy. Sure, it can be ignored after a person gets use to the game, but it's annoying the first couple of times. Astal is short game, but it makes up for it with its side-scrolling graphics. Gem for any collector of the Sega Saturn franchise.
1421 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Super Mario" is arguably the most successful and most recognizable brand name in the history. It seems that every time Nintendo releases a new episode in the series, it hits video gaming gold. From the earliest release of the original "Super Mario Brothers" on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, it has always been a hit. Even lesser known titles in the series, like "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island", stay faithful to the series and produce very entertaining gameplay. With the dawn of Nintendo's three dimensional, 360 degree rotating platform, Nintendo 64, the question became, "Could Nintendo maximize the potential of this new platform and give Mario a fresh angle?" The answer, in the form of "Super Mario 64", proved to be a quite emphatic "YES!"
Sometimes influence doesn't matter when a game is really bad. This is one of those cases. The Tomb Raider series on the original Playstation is a joke. I absolutely *groan* when I think about playing a Tomb Raider game because I remember how ugly and dark the environments are, the glitchy problems that dominate all three Tomb Raider games, the annoying and difficult jumping style of Lara Croft (which makes it nearly impossible to progress to the end of the game. Good luck- she NEVER jumps where you want her to) and of course, mentioned above, Lara's supposed beautiful face (she's NOT pretty, remember?)
It was absolutely fun to play however, the game was very short. I think I finished it in an hour or two.
Much like the previous two games, the handling is a bit flighty. But that's speeding on loose ground for you. Still, I feel things have tightened up somewhat since DiRT 2. Still no cigar, but it's a step forward. The game runs as smooth as silk on my 560ti wih all the settings maxed. No issues whatsoever. If you enjoy racing games, this is not one you should ignore. It's the best DiRT so far.
The Bad: Extreme difficulty, not the most user-friendly game
This game will keep you entertained for years. BUY IT!!!
2169 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It's a shame that the Sega Saturn didn't succeed in North America the way that it did in Japan because they received the Arcade perfect version of this game for the Saturn and to this date there still is not an Arcade perfect version of this game for any home console. You could probably find someone selling a Japanese Sega Saturn on eBay or something, but that's a lot of trouble and who wants to buy an entire foreign system just to play just one great game (and maybe X-Men vs. Street Fighter too!)?
3181 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A few hiccups from the scratches but it's fine. The game is worth the annoyances...remember to save often!
Oh...SPECTACULAR....yea My spelling sucks..
Alright so I don't really think there is a need for me to review this game besides the fact that I'm just going through each individual title and adding a review for the sake of doing it as this is my favorite series and I have owned every single title. So I guess this would be part one of my Metal Gear Solid retrospective series. I haven't ever really gotten into the old 8-bit games which might make me a bad fan but for me this is where this series starts.
5490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best PS(Playstation) games. Right along with games like "Finall Fantasy 7". Better than the "Tomb Raider" games(Also from Eidos). allthough it has some flaws(As every game does, it still is a very fun and very good game. It has good graphics, and voice acting, good music too.
This game's museum mode has 335 pieces of unlockable artwork and different skins and modes, as well as more than 10 unlockable characters. The first set of museum pieces completely explains the Soul storyline, and the events that lead up to where the game is; something you have to nit-pick through in SCII to figure out just what happened since this installment. For Dreamcast collectors, or fighting game enthusiests, I highly-reccomend this game.
923 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game will teach you who your friends truly are as the blue shell destroys freindships and breaks bonds of companionship you never thought could be broken.
5716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 8 dominates all catergories graphics,story,length,and of course charachter depth. When i first popped in this game the first cutscene blew me away and from there on out I was hooked. The story is so good by disc 4. you will feel sad that it has ended. though most of disc 1 is just running around the place by disc 2 the story heats up and you won't be able to turn off the game. i recomend this game to anyone who likes great gameplay and great story.
1986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was glad to find it. It works great. Still playing it. I was hoping I would get as much enjoyment out of it as when I was younger and I DO. Great replay value.
7193 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i believe this is a rare game. and i do not think that the rare game company is around any more. i an never selling this game. the little red cap like thing with it that is to extent the memory i believe. and you do noy got that you can not play the game at all.
I think that Myst is best described as an experience rather than merely a video game. Its creators strived to develop a world rich with detail and intrigue, with a subtle narrative intertwined into the strange yet beautiful surroundings. As the game begins, you are dropped onto the island of Myst without very much information to guide you. What immediately strikes you as unique about this experience is that there are no friendly characters to help you on your way, no enemies to fight, and not a very clear purpose. The game is largely about just exploring your surroundings and experimenting with different devices around the various worlds. This is what makes the game so immersive. The graphics of Myst, though not quite as extravagant as today's, were definitely of high quality. Cyan built its 3D world through an extensive layout of still images and QuickTime movies, and the end result is simply amazing. Navigation is node-based, meaning that you don't necessarily walk through the environment but rather point and click your way through your surroundings. Each new section loads as if you really had relocated, giving the appearance of movement. Making a 3D world in this manner might seem strange, but at the time it was a necessary shortcut to make it possible to run the game on computers without a lot of RAM and processor power. Even by today's standards, I still think the environments look impressive.
Here's the biggest knock to the game: The X-Files is one of the games which "backward compatibility" forgot.
6350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love 64, I thought it was the best console when it came out in 1995. I still play it, even though I've got PS2. Has anyone ever played Conker's Bad Fur Day? It rocks on this console.
5235 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't want to drown you with hoopla, so I'll just tell you that my wife really isn't into games. She really isn't, and I'm not going to say that Metal Gear got her to grab the controller all of a sudden because it didn't. What it DID do is hold her attention indefinitely. For the first time ever, she actually encouraged me to play, play, play. The storyline, action, yada, yada, yada is that good. Really. I'm surprised a Metal Gear Movie isn't in theatres yet.
9764 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have searched for ever to find a racing simulator that actually simulates real driving/racing. GT2 does that, and with a ton of other fun factors. Graphics are good, not super great, but good. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that they aren't the BEST (see Final Fantasy IX).
While there are many ways to track down this title (the original SNES cartridge, the Game Boy Advance title and through Nintendo's Virtual Console service for those who have a Wii that is online), any true gamer has played this many, many times and can tell you that it was one of the finest games to ever come out from Nintendo.
Think twice about playing this game if you live alone, or if your pacemaker doesn't have fresh batteries.
- And this is one area... I am sorry.. I feel Sega Screwed the pooch on this one.. The Memory Card that comes with your system.. pending on the game.. may only be able to be used for that game.. and I am not talking like PS2.. where you can have multiple games saved on the card and "Choose" to dedicate it to the game.. I mean just saving a single game.. which means you will be running out buying memory cards left and right.. if you own games like NFL2K or Seventhcross.. and any form of library for the system.
4967 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 What I expected was another Total Annihilation, but obviously I was at err, I don't know who made this game but if it was the original design team of TA then they were smoking somethin that made pretty colors dance across the screen. Ok, bottom line, TA kingdoms is by far the worst possible stradegy game ever! It is SO slow on my P2 450mhz computer( after I got about 50 units or so) it was ridiculas! I mean it was like watching your units walk through glue because the game slows down so bad, it took my little army of 30 units 15 minutes to reach the enemy base! Also 3D acceleration for this game is non-existent! In the original TA the computer cheated, but it wasn't to an extream sence, here they made it ten-fold! Whenever you aren't looking over the enemy's base, they make units in 3 seconds or less, they can make thousands of units with only one lodestone in place! its ridiculously IMPOSSIBLE in skirmish(when you are just getting your defences finished they will have those plus a 30+ army coming to attack your base) and just plain weird in campaign mode. Do not buy this game, buy the original TA, its WAY better, trust me. Avoid Kingdoms like it is a urine cup used to serve apple juice!
Everything about NiGHTS Into Dreams screams "CLASSIC!" This is a game you play and never forget.
7062 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ok, no, no! There is only one Goldeneye 007. Nothing else can touch 007's spot in gaming history. But! Perfect Dark has it's own place in the FPS Hall of Fame. While it uses the same gameplay engine as 007, it has it's own charm. Goldeneye is based on a movie which came from a character created in he 1950's. Perfect Dark is all futuristic. And this was the first 3-D futuristic game to be done right in my opinion. The single player missions have kept me coming back for years with their well done themes, story & gameplay. Besides blasting away at over-armored, Fancy gun totin', space dudes...the story & surroundings will engross you. Or at least they did in the early 2000's. And the best yet(at the time), was the fan-f***in'-tastic Multi-player! Having 4 player death match would have been bada*s. But the option of adding several drones to the game made it SOO much better! To me, it's the first pre-online console multiplayer to capture the feel of current online gaming!!<--does that make sense? What i'm saying is adding all those drones to the game made it much more chaotic, which equals more fun!! All these random enemies mixed in with your friends, it really just made the game somethin' else! Hadn't been done before this well on a console. Love this game, absolutely would recommend it for N64 owners looking for another Classic.
5579 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good game to the series

All in all, this is a game you must have if you like Tekken or if you just plain like to play cool beat-em-up games. I recommend this to all people with one or both of those traits. P.S. The only beat-em-up game better than Tekken is Mortal Kombat. My name is Alex K "Catman" (for my love of lions, tigers, jaguars and all other cool animals, cats or otherwise)Have a nice day. And if you got the money, buy the game.
419 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After defeating Xenogears, I was looking for a game that was fun to play, and didn't require me to do much thinking. Xenogears was a monster game that had a fantastic, yet confusing plot that really made you think. Breath of Fire 3 is a complete change of pace. Instead of going for an engrossing and confusing plot like FF7 and Xenogears, Breath of Fire 3 continues a simple, but fun plot that feels refreshing to play after finishing a monster game like Xenogears.
It's the little things that people miss.. receiving money for defeating the enemies, the materia and MP system, simple yet fun mini-games, a bigger variety of characters, any secret characters and more of a challenge. But there's also some little things that FF fans have embraced and enjoy. Such as car rentals, salaries, tests of knowledge, mini-quests, gorgeous FMV, great characters, a well-crafted story line and the mighty Moombas!
You start the game either as a Fighter, Mage or Thief, but can change professions during the game, as you need. However, it's important to specialise sooner or later, as there are only so many experience points to go around. Unlike other AD&D games, you don't get to decide your character's alignment during character generation - this changes according to your actions throughout your travels. And when you level, you get points with which you can increase attributes, such as Strength and Wisdom, so you can start out as a pretty mediocre Mage, and end up a mental giant, if that is your path. Like all AD&D games, Planescape: Torment is full of items and artefacts, often only usable by certain professions, which can temporarily change statistics. As usual, you need these things most in the beginning, when you can least afford them.
The formula overall is very, VERY unique and makes the game really interesting. Namco did a great job with the making of this game. Unfortunately, there are two problems: The lack of places to get Power Pellets AND the lack of an actual save feature. Yeah....you have to use passwords, so you better write em down..
If You liked this game then check out all of the Army Men games.
Granted, it's not quite the real thing, but it's close enough that I've spent many happy hours playing the game, working my way through the remarkably interesting story, and enjoying the combat.

Characters (score 8/10): Sigh, I really like this game, but it commits one of my most disliked offenses - it has a silent protagonist. Levant never speaks and doesn't possess any sort of personality. Thankfully, the other characters make up for it since they actually do have personalities. All the characters have fairly restrained and normal personalities (versus some of the exaggerated and wacky characters you can get with a lot of RPGS), which feels pretty realistic for the setting. Despite their demure personalities, you really start to feel sympathetic for Levant and his wife Mahbu as the game goes on. Having an emotional investment in the characters is a hallmark of a good RPG, and Jade Cocoon succeeds on this front.

1555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok this game is pretty much all PS2 owners have of Soul Caliber since it went to DreamCast?! My friends still come over so we can all play it on my PS2!! This game is tight,especially for a PS1 game, I just hope Soul Caliber 2 is made for the PS2! For the price this game goes for, it's worth it completly! I traded Granturismo3(PS2game) for it!
2902 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 As I expected, this game has good reviews, but does FF7 deserve that praise? No.
6581 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 WCW STINKS. At least that's what most WWF, ECW, and other wrestling fans believe, and from the looks of this game, they're right. The only fun thing about this game is the 4-man battle royal. Everything else, the character designs, the entrances, the bizarre physics of contact (I punch while you're a mile away; you feel it) just smell worse than... Santa after a rowdy elf party. Stay away from this game... it gets one star for the battle royal, and the other for just booting up when you turn it on. Go buy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
2832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I say? You are catching bad monkeys with a net. How can that not be fun?
6470 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. BRAVO well done. The only negative things I have to say is that I wish they allowed you to do more hand to hand combat or knife fighting and that I wish the game had more gadgets like binoculars and a map.
Turn the lights off, crank the speakers up, and play riven... you'll find yourself lost in the world of puzzles, of frightened natives, politics... and everything else.

Overall: 5/5 My opinon, I thought it was a game that everyone even Zelda fans should get it for your collection. Once you beat it, you can actually go for more side quests, items to get, and other things you missed.
I tried so hard to love RE1 and look beyond its major flaws. Flaws such as the abysmal combat system. You can't aim at anything! The tank controls don't help either so you always end up dying CONSTANTLY, and with a lack of health and ammo you'll toss your PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP out the window. The other flaw is the level design. Everything is so confusing and it's so easy to get lost. The map doesn't help one bit because all it does is highlight the hallway that you are in red and you have to decipher what doors go where.
- The Dreamcast version of this game is much better than the PlayStation version. They removed tag team fighting from the PlayStation version due to its memory limitation. That takes a lot of fun out of the game.

N64 ruled in the old days, this and Mario were so amazingly fun, it was constant, you could play for months on end and still love it to death while finding something entirely new and exciting.
I cannot express how good it is. Go to any fan website on the internet and read up on it.

The product of an epic partnership between Nintendo and Square is expectantly masterful and Super Mario RPG delivers time and time again! I'll never forget the eye-popping grahics of this game in its hayday, and now its marvelously retro. I don't know what else to say about this game but BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!
Super Metroid's music still stands the test of time. After listening to the GameBoy Original-esque soundtrack and effects of Metroid Fusion, it's certainly a relief to pop "Brinstar" in your .SPC player, or to turn on yer Super Fami for some BG music. Either works...although you might worry about screen burn with the latter. This music counts as one of my top 10 game soundtracks of all time for its eerily beautiful accompaniment to one of the greatest titles ever created.
It's obvious the creators love the horror genre...all the streets are named after famous horror and science fiction authors, there are movies references (Psycho is the only one I'll give you...the hotel...the final staircase...oh come on go watch a classic movie, people!)
After the side-scrolling oddity that was ZELDA II back on the NES, it was nice to see Zelda go back to its top-down roots. The graphics, even now, are very good.

These are my updated comments. Recently, I challenged my review above and my view of this game. I decided to learn how to get good at it, thus, leading to enjoyment of the game. I actually got hooked, playing it for over 80 hours so far. Point being, this game is not awful, it is, however, tricky. If you enjoy Glover or even if you somehow found a way to enjoy Mario 64, you will like this game. I would say that my new rating of fun would be 4 of 5 and my new overall would be 3 of 5. The overall is still low because of how frustrating this game is.
Anyway, the gameplay is fun...for 15 minutes. Then it's bothersome, annoying, and dull. Your team mates have the worst A.I. ever, and they don't get power-ups. The game is horribly easy and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY too short. Like, 30 minutes short. Also, the voice acting sucks.
I can't help but compare Quake II to Medal of Honor because MoH was the very first first-person shooter I ever owned. The controls in Quake II are almost exactly the same, except in Quake II, the L1 and R1 buttons on the Playstation controller are used to move your target up and down. The target is the little white thing that permanently stays in the middle of the screen. It's used to line up the perfect kill shot. Learning to use this target properly will probably take about a half hour because, to be totally honest with you, it's not exactly the easiest way to find and eliminate enemies. If you think this control system is a bit strange, I won't disagree. You'll learn to adjust to it, though. Give the game time to sink in.
Gorgeous graphics for it's time.

3686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From my personal experience over the last year or so, I have been very impressed with the Sega Dreamcast. This awesome console by Sega launched with a plethora of AAA titles and it never ceases to amaze. With most recent titles like Quake 3, Shenmue, NFL2K1, and NBA2K1, the Dreamcast has THE strongest software library around putting the Playstation 2 to shame. Plus you can play most of these games online via SegaNet which is a big plus.
Graphics:10/10
The gameplay is a very strong point in the game. You fight monsters, humans or a mixture of both on a field of squares that you move from one to the next. It's somewhat time consuming going through the menus to battle, but really, if you're into strategy RPGs, you're used to this. I will mention one thing: I've found myself falling asleep to this game because the battles were slow. Not that this should detract you from buying this excellent game.
(1) Unlike most RPGs you get to roleplay with a variety of educated replies. If you pick the right ones, you get more information. And, if you screw up, too bad. You don't get to ask the other questions for the most part. I always hate in the RPGs where you tick off a person and then ask them another question and they act like you're their friend.
The soundtrack is amazing, voice acting is a little weird and a little silly, but it's OK. Videogames aren't about how close to reality it looks and feels. If it was, games from the past would be forgotten very quickly. What makes horror games special is how fun and scary they are, and this, along with Silent Hill, is the best horror game you'll ever play.
Bright graphics
5016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a game for the PS1 system. It's got underwhelming graphics considering todays standards, but its incredibly immersive, as good as the best horror movies or books, everything about the game oozes atmosphere and style.
6223 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As shown, works fine
5106 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This normally takes a long time and is purely strategy-based. There are at least 50 different creatures you can fight with, each with special abilities and statistics. You send "heroes" to bring these creatures around the map to gain resources, experience, artifacts, and other treasures. Then you use your cities to make more creatures. Generally, the idea is to wipe out your opponents in stunning, turn-based battle sequences. The heroes are generally few and they often just explore and wipe out uncontrolled creatures, which may flee, attack you, join you, or offer themselves for hire. The games take a long time depending on the map, at least 3 hours. You can make scenarios, and the editor is pretty friendly. I recommend this game for people who want a slow-paced, strategic challenge.
1776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is what got me started. I started off with Crash Bandicoot 1 when it first came out. I love the whole concept of it and the games are soo fun. Its exciting and all the levels are different, they have been so creative its amazing.
8305 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first spotted this title at Blockbuster Video on sale brand new, unaware that there was even such a title. Needless to say, I harriedly scooped it up and walked steadfastly to the counter to pay. Got it home, and I was pleasantly surprised with the new direction.
You seriously do not want to miss out on this one. The game is adapted to a variety of computers. The game has a powerful plot, movie-like gameplay--and I MEAN MOVIE-LIKE, graphics are exceptionally spectacular for such minimum-level requirements.
The music in the game was also another high end of the game. In my opinion, the music of the game, is what gave it that certain vibe, to make it a higher end game. I can't really say much about the music, though it was excellent. Overall Nobuo Uematsu did a very good at composing and producing the music of FF7.
Now, what about the interface? Simply put, it does not remotely compare with Dirt2's interface. It is messy, I had to search online to figure out where to find my best times. There are not enough info about the cars, the races, the sponsors... It leaves a lot to desire. A complete miss.
the composer for that game, Miki Higashino, has returned yet again to provide a stellar
991 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fun. The visuals are impressive and the guns are frickin' cool and some fun multi-player. Play this game because you deserve something special. Unless you're a Dragon Ball Z fan.
The difficulty of the game depends on your familiarity with the controls and also whether or not you alternate characters. Pressing the A button when both characters are together makes Butt-Head thrust Beavis into the air, which comes in handy avoiding large obstacles. By switching characters at the exact right moment, you can avoid getting any damage in entire levels. There are some levels in which you can't switch, like in Highland High School when you "Chicken Fight", Beavis sits on Butt-Head's shoulders with a bat and has to pummel enemies and balls. Yeah. I said it. There's also a section or two in the game where Butt-Head pushes a cart or gurney and Beavis sits on it firing either a water gun or an I.V. bag akin to a fast-paced version of R-Type (with morons instead of a cool spaceship you can upgrade).
6035 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed "Opposing Force" even more than the original Half-Life! I thought it was better being an army grunt, and also having a much wider selection of guns and explosives. The best level would have to have been "The Package", where you get to command a group of your fellow soldiers through a literal army of black Ops people.
Why is there crate pushing in every RE game?
The units, and especially the villagers, work and move much faster, which I have found as a huge plus.
5479 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I played this game years ago, but I never got to where I am right now! I'm at the part where you should float on top of the pipes to get to Zephon's Lair, and one thing is that there is almost no way to get past that part; if you're lucky, you will make it the first time, if not, you will be trying over 500 times, nothing!
They brought back the taxi from the first game, added a grandma and a Flower Power 60's car. Yeah not a lot else needs to be said all 3 suck. They got rid of some of the fun characters from the 2nd game like Shadow and Mr. Slam for those 3 and changed some of the names probably a copyright issue between the companies. Not a big deal but still why not just keep the names the same. The story is pretty much the same but uses 3D graphics instead of the animation theme. I personally thought the animation from 2 was great and added a lot of fun to the game. I loved beating TM2 with each character to see the multiple endings. This game is so frustrating you will get none of that same enjoyment from this game.
* You can higher or lower land.
+Memorable characters
While the battle system only allows three people, the Materia system and the Limit Breaks add fun to the game. While I adore Final Fantasy 9, 7's Limit Breaks worked better, and they also level up. The Materia system is based on your weapons and items' slots, allowing you to interchange materia like ice, fire, lightning, restore, and other things. They also do things differently depending on how they're linked to other materia and ALSO if they're attached to your weapon or your accessory. This adds some fun to the battle, and you can even interchange materia without disrupting the level of the particular materia slot you're using.
The graphics for it's time were second to none.
The idea is to start at Prof. Oak's house, get your first Pokemon from him, and then journey all around the land of Pokemon, collecting various wild pokemon (which you catch by battling them until they faint), and doing battle with other trainers along the way.
5330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Grand Theft Auto 2 is good. The graphics are nothing special but the fun factor makes up for that. GTA2 is highly addictive and I sat there playing it for hours. The people are tacky looking, but the graphics for the vehicles are good. Also there is an array of weapons, that are fun to use (especially if you have the cheat). I rented it and got to the second level in a few days. The levels are long and hard, though. Sometimes the arrows that guide you get confusing and there is no map during gameplay. The reason I gave it five stars is because the game it self is really, really fun, if you can get over the graphics. As I said before it is ADDICTIVE and you have to sacrafice alot of time to beat the game with all of the kill frenzies, GTA2 points ect. complete. I recommend that you should first rent it to see if you like it and if you do then buy it. (but, if you don't like this check out Driver 2)
I bought it for a friend whom told me that he was going to pay me back for buying it for him.

It's the same as I remember. The game was in excellent condition, as promised by the seller. The gameplay is exactly as I remember it and why I've lost a few hours each day since I received this in the mail.
The character development (ie the characters that matter) is very well executed, and it's really hard to believe after playing this, that this is a Final Fantasy, so used to the bad plots and characters from that series I am post 6. (9 aside...)

And let's not even talk about the wackiest enemy in the game. Attack helicopters! Yes, that's right. When going through the savanna level, Grant is constantly being assaulted by attack helicopters that fire rockets at him! When I saw one coming onto the scren for the first time, I had to pause the game because I was laughing too much to keep going. Here I was, just trying to get across that blasted savanna, being attacked by grenade chucking soldiers and machine gun equipped janitors, and here i'm being attacked by an attack helicopter?! What kind of psycho island is this?! Thankfully, these helicopters can be driven away by shooting...of all things...tranquilizer darts into them. Whee!
- Amazing physics
THE COMBAT IS A SPECTACULARLY INTENSE, CEREBRAL AFFAIR. THE EARTH-SHATTERING VISUAL EFFECTS AND SPELLS LEAVE ME WEAK AND NAUSEATED EVERY TIME, YET I CANNOT, AND WILL NOT STOP, NO MATTER THE PRICE. WORDS COULD NOT ATTEMPT TO DO JUSTICE TO THE INTENSITY OF EVEN THE CALMEST FINAL FANTASY BATTLE.
5787 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OK, so Final Fantasy VI is still my favorite, but I can't say enough about FF8. The reason is that the story is incredible. I don't think I have ever played an FF game that has as well defined story as this. The romance between Squall and Riona is great. It actually got me involved and made truly empathize with the characters, especially when Squall rescues Riona on Disk 3. Also, the story of Siefer and his one-man war against Squall only heightened the drama as you go through the game. The portion about the orphanage was a bit hokey, though I can understand where it fit into the rest of the storyline. But, by far, the best part is the love story. Again, I don't think I have ever seen an FF game that has as dynamic characters as this one. Wow. I just can't say enough about it without giving too much of the story away. On a negative side, this one still uses the 3D characters from FF7 as opposed to the overhead, less realistic views that were common of the FF games I grew up on. And, probably the most fun thing about Final Fantasy games is missing in this one: you can't rename the characters, and with FFX having voice overs with the character's names in them, I guess that will never come back. But that was the most fun part: renaming all the characters with your friend's names. But still, for playability, this is one of the best editions out there, and I just don't see how, aside from general graphical improvements during the regular scenes, it could be improved upon. This one is great. Buy it, play it, and enjoy it.

Why is there no coin counter for running around the Castle! There are coins all over the place! I want to collect a 100 coin castle star! Did you even think before you sent this to production BRO! Is this even this games final form?!?
This sim is based on the earlier portion of the war on the western front, which includes the Battle of Britain, and early operations in France. Flyable aircraft are very limited, but include the Hawker Hurricane, not usually modeled in old flight sims. Many great Battle of Britain planes are present, like the He-111, Do-17, Me-110, Ju-87, Ju-88, and American bombers like the B-25, B-24, and B-17, but these are all non-flyable. There are some unusual missions, like escaping France in a stolen Bf-109, shooting down a traitor in your squadron, and shooting a German generals car out from under the Eiffel Tower! The campaigns are some of the best Ive seen, The Battle of Britain is very engaging, protecting ship convoys from Stukas and U-boats. Rockets and explosions are realistic. CFS1 has pretty bad aircraft graphics, but the ground detail is amazing, taken from an actual satellite. However, this pales since the ground is completely flat except for spiky mountains, and a few badly modeled buildings in the cities. The satellite image also slows down my laptop. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is marginal, fighters attack but know hardly any maneuvers, and enemy bombers don't avoid you. The menu is reasonable, and pretty easy to use.
Monumental personality. They had to start somewhere. If you have played a Kirby game you know that they have a large personality to them. Everything is goofy and comedic. Fans of the series (like me) love that. This game is again no exception.

That way, they get both... and though Pokemon won't solve it all... you'll never have to nag them to go play Pokemon!
A) Conservative- these are generally the people who hate FFVIII. They discovered the FF series with FFI or IV or VI, and to them, THAT is what an FF game has to be... when an FF game moves away from the earlier style and sensibility of the series (2D 8 or 16 bit graphics, ultra-lighthearted script, a story even a five year old with down syndrome could grasp), they scream bloody murder and "WORST FF GAME EVER! A DISGRACE TO THE FF NAME!" They would rather play half-baked cookie cutter RPGs like Suikoden. They know what they like and that's all they want. They would be happy to play the same games over and over and over for eternity, just change the names of the characters and slap a new title on it and they'll think they're playing something new.
+ voice acting is good
The game is one of those games youll remember experiencing and the first time is the best. The characters are all great and the voice acting is not even close to bad. I won't spoil anymore for you but I also recomend getting TWIN SNAKES.
7718 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
8867 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game, love the price, love the service
prime place to prepare for battle and stock up on equipment. A few of the characters
834 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Classic game. A favorite when I was a kid. Still fun to this day, I just wish the graphics were better! Got to remember this game is from 98 and one of the first 3D games of it's time! Great game.
5789 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I mus tbe bored to bother but I just replayed this and was reminded of how this game's plot must have been written by a love starved 15 year old. Still it was fun even if the inherently mysoginistic storyline made me hit my triteness vomit button.
587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I picked this up in a pack of two other N64 games for five dollars at a used game store. Now usually, those bundle deals have all of the mediocre N64 games in them that no one wants to buy individually. However, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is easily one of the best N64 games I've ever played.
8874 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 lots of fun
People exaggerate about a lot of things, but I can promise that it is over 50 different times on various difficulties with every character. It has been one of my instant favorites since childhood.
This game is cult classic with reason.
In my opinion and from what I have seen at home, unless you have a very analytical child, this will not hold their interest. This is an adult game and not from the perspective that you are protecting the child. I honestly think this would be an excellent assignment for a child to hone their thought processes on. However the lack of action and need for real thinking most children will think of as work, not fun.
But anyways bomberman is a game where you click a button and a bomb pops up right where your standing. You can either kick it at your enemy, throw it, or pump it up to make a big bomb which causes more damage than a normal bomb. Sometimes you have to do a tricky bomb jump puzzle which I still have trouble doing. This game can get complicated to so it's very tricky. Took me awhile to complete it so if you want a long game I think this is for you (espicially for the expert). I love the variety of enemies in the game. I woundn't call this a game for a begginer at all!
Some of the voices are pretty annoying (Slippy in paticular)
4982 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got exactly what I paid for. Good quality case and game disc.
The screen i received had black trim on the front, which matched my black gamepad. Your mileage may vary on the color since it didn't specify in the item listing.
This game rocked! I still play this game eventhough the Dreamcast is more or less no more. This is a great game, if yuou have a Dreamcast, you need this game. It's almost a requirement!
3657 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great classic ! I loved playing this as a child and I had to get my hands on another copy and I don't regret this purchase. A noticeable difference between this version and the PS1 version is content and graphics.
5362 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It worked for my PlayStation, it just doesn't fit exactly the way it should.
Overall: 10/10 - Lots of things to do, lots of martial arts moves to learn, heaps of blood, a barrel of fun - Tekken 3 is one of the most entertaining, overall amazing PlayStation games to come out in a long time!
17 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Update June 2013:
- Controls feel dated
2130 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome seller. Item works like a charm. Simply love it so I can play donkey kong 64. Would do business again.
829 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a major player of 007 games. I have played nearly every single one, but I have to say, GoldenEye is one of the best that there is, even years and platforms later. Even though I have a GameCube with all of the other 007 games, I still to this day find myself returning to play a round of Goldeneye.
It's a solid multiplayer game - but only against other humans. Much like Total Annhilation, the AI simply isn't up to the task of taking on multiple, allied humans, even if you give it the benefit of numbers.
As you can probably gather from the mountain of other reviews, this was the game that, for better and worse, changed the RPG genre. The, somewhat dense, storyline basically revolves around Cloud and company in their quest to save the planet from various forces (mainly the evil company Shinra and, the very VERY evil, bad guy Sephiroth). Several traditional RPG elements are present - battle monsters, equip magic, find new and better weapons, grind your character up, etc...
Good points: Weapons are awesome. SMGs, plasma canon that evaporates everything in its path, pipe bombs, shrink ray allowing you to crush your enemy, expand ray that enlarges them until they explode...HA just coolness. Combat boosts were always a neat item that I wish had been in more games. You can also aquire a jetpack, Vitamin X, holoduke to confuse enemies, dumdum (explosive) pistol rounds, and many other helpful items.
3616 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best video game console I have ever owned and I have almost owned them all. Including the Playstation 2. For all out fun and enjoyment you cant top Segas Dreamcast. Throw in online gameing and you add multiplayer fun when you have no one to play with at home. If you don't already have on ego and get one you won't be disappointed.
Overall, this is an extremely unique Mario game. Not much else can be said except "Wow." Please don't miss this game, you'll regret it if you don't buy it!
The game is filled with great atmosphere. There's no game that defines survival horror better than this one. This was Capcom at the height of their powers. Silent Hill is a close second in the genre. Resident Evil 2 improved upon the original in many ways. The voice is a little better though it still has moments of cheese. The weapons look better and are upgradeable, the game has two scenarios where your choices make slight differences in the other character's game.

810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was my favorite N64 game growing up! Still love it
PS was hideous from the start. I NEVER thought anything on that was worth the brain cells. Awful graphics, slow loading times, stupid, pointless games- need I say more? Everyone thinks they have all these good RPGs- not true. EVERY RPG they have is just a remake of the previous with another number next to it. (Chrono Cross was just Final Fantasy with a different name, same with Legend of Dragoon.) Sega has some of the best RPGs ever and they're all completely different in gameplay and ideas, and have better graphics and replayability- Silver, Skies of Arcadia, PSO 1 and 2, Record of Lodoss War, Grandia 2, Soulreaver, etc. Same with racers- there's never been a game on PS as fun as Crazy Taxi 1 & 2. Demolition Racer: No Exit blows away Twisted Metal and all, Sega GT, Tokyo Extreme 1 and 2, etc. Sports is no question. Sega has the only online games, with better gameplay and graphics. (Of course Sega is smart enough not to have games from 989- have they EVER made even a decent game?) And NO ONE has a fighting game that can compare to Soulcalibur.
8950 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My works and has a story with video rental stickers on it making it more... Unique. Only issue I have is the cart has a small piece in side making tink tink noises and made me assume this game might crash or back fire, but it didn't and works lovely end result for me is the game plays. Still upset with the moving piece in side it's frustrating me.
6782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great service good game
This game is really short and simple. It only has 5 levels, and they don't take too long to finish. It is a game made for beginners.
Another thing that remained the same is the graphics. Yup, no change at all ...or so I think.
In contrast to the original Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past allows you to move in eight directions. Zelda players who have enjoyed Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask might wish for the ability to use more than one item at a time, but you're unfortunately limited to one here. AlttP's collision detection is great.
4266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So your considering buying Starcraft, aye? Well if you have not heard of this game all I have to say is you poor deprived human being. Any gamer on the face of the Earth knows about this game and what it did to change the way they think about playing games on a computer game. Yes, I have heard it all the people who rally themselves against games such as this. Saying that you do nothing but Build, Build, Build, Build really Fast. Then Fight, Fight, Fight, Kill, Kill, Kill. Well, If you excuse my impertinence, your wrong. This game teaches you how to adapt to the three different species. Zerg, Terran and Protoss. It is like the ultimate in adaptive combat. I have never come up with fighting tactics in any other game, (Except One), Faster than in this game. It is made by blizzard those good people who made Warcraft and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. So find this game. Buy it and enjoy it for the love of all that is good and pure. Enjoy this game. It should be a definite buy and must have and no gamers collection would ever truly be complete without it.
My two problems with this game lie in its controls and its presentation. The controls, while decent overall, require a good deal of precision, and will be frustrating at times. Second, the ending is non-existent, which I found disappointing. However, the game was still a worthwhile buy, and I recommend it to anybody looking for some good ol' Rare Studios quality gaming!
If you go to options, you can turn off the heat sensors(I hate them) and put on invincibility, which is also cool.
8841 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Only costs $10 (plus tax) to download via Wii Virtual Console. Note: you'll need a GameCube-style controller compatible with the Wii. Wikipedia says Nintendo released this game for just 30 cents in the middle of this year. Still, $10 isn't a bad price to pay for one of the best video games of all time. It's certainly cheaper -- and probably wiser -- than purchasing an ancient SNES cartridge that may or may not still work.
8036 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this was a pretty good game, i don't like to many shooter games but this one was a blast :)
Bad part of it:
Tomb Raider 2 is, in my opinion, the greatest PlayStation game there has ever been. Yes, the graphics are laughable now because they have come so far since - especially on the PlayStation 2 and X-Box, but it all boils down to how enjoyable the game is. And in that category, it is still the most enjoyable and exciting game ever. Hundreds of titles try to replicate the suspense and adventure that is seen in the Tomb Raider games and fail miserably. Buy this now from Amazon - it'd be a shame not to and to ignore it would be missing out on one of the most classic video games of all time...
Naturally, the quality of the games are going to vary with who programmed it. Personally, I thought NFL 2K1 on the Dreamcast looked better than Madden on the PS2 when they first came out. A local store had them side by side. For the Dreamcast, I would recommend Soul Calibur and Crazy Taxi. No matter what new games I buy, I always go back to those two - which were also the first two games I bought. Other good games include Gundam Side Story, Space Channel 5, Test Drive V-Rally, Wacky Races, and Code Veronica. These are games I own. I was disappointed with Tomb Raider. I'm not really a sports fan, but NFL 2K1, NBA 2K1, and NHL 2K are good. I don't recommend Ceasar's Palace Casino. I've heard Hoyle Casino is better but haven't been able to find it.
Buy it! Then Buy FF7. What? You've already bought it!? Well then sell it and buy it again.
Well, Goldeneye is an excellent and well made game.
I have played this game for YEARS. I first began to play it in 1996.
6633 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was well thought out. You can command your own ships or let the Computer. The game also does not require you tell the game every detail of how to organize your planets, but if you do, you can. I've enjoyed many hours of turn-based strategy fun with this game. You will too.
1) Story: Games created by Jane Jensen were always well-known for their perfect storyline which draws you into its mystery from the very beginning and reveals all secrets and the very end. This game is not an exception - Gabriel is invited to France by Prince James of Albany to explore enigmatic nature of his only son which, as a descendant of very ancient and hermetical family, is in danger of kidnapping. Gabriel and Grace accept the invitation and meet Prince in his mansion. The troubles come very early - although all doors and windows are securely shut and guarded, Prince's kid is kidnapped at night by two strange visitors. Gabriel immediately pursues the kidnappers and after following them to a train and hearing them say "San Greal", he is suddenly bumped to his head and falls to unconsciousness. He wakes up in a station of Couiza and losts the track of kidnappers in a small village Rennes-le-Chateau, fabulous with mysteries more than two thousand years old. Gabriel starts to face one of the most fearsome investigations he ever did and asks himself the most curious questions. Can be kidnappers related to a tour group of treasure hunters who share the local hotel with Gabriel? What really is the Holy Grail? Can be vampires involved in the case? And who is still one step before him?
Weapons are not found sitting out for any person to find. The player must actively search for items to aid in his or her quest. Guns are definitely there, but they would be about as well-hidden as a person living inside the mansion would have them. The control scheme may seem archaic now, but for the genre, the controls are spot on. Maneuvering through a hallway full of zombies should not be an easy task, and given the options presented, it really isn't.
Overall really good game, and even though its different from the 1st one in terms of gameplay its very similar as it is full of cool characters, power ups, good levels, graphics, and replayability.
5254 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my best game. If you looked at my Resident Evil 3 review youll see why this is the best. But this game has everything i ever imaganed. Good Graphics, Cool weapons, a man with courage, and some lovely ladies... lol just kidding. But your snake a official that worked for fox hound and you have been chased by roy camball so he can brief you on your mission that you well refuse to do. So he tells you to rescue some people and than start your mission. You will run into alot of people and lots of calls on your codec. One of your friends though is your deadly brother.... I won't give his name away. But this game has over 10 weapons and over 29 different items. You get to spy on people and surprise them by killing them. Youll want to play this game agian and agian. Its the best game for the playstation game console.
9199 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great, everything about it is refined to perfection, making it the best game about picking up guns and shooting people. I can't believe some people are saying that the ps2 controls are better that these controls. You aim with the mouse, not the arrow keys, Sheesh. Some may say the gameplay is not varied enough, but for some reason, it keeps pushing you to get to the end. The only problem I have with the game is the AI, the baddies are sometimes horribly stupid. They will shoot each other, throw grenades into walls, and shoot at walls. Maybe it is to make the game more like a action movie, but I wanted to see the mercenaries you fight later in the game have some real attack strategies.
4233 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had seen this game sitting on the shelves of software stores for months. When the price finally lowered I decided to buy it. It was well worth my money. The game is absolutely stunning.
The answer? Great! Before 1996, Nintendo fans never had a chance to hear Mario talk, but the first thing that greets you when you turn on the system is a jingle and the words "It's-a me, Mario!" and "Hello!" while a remixed version of the classic Mario theme plays in the back. But again, this is only the intro. The question is whether games sounds that good.
7387 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Actually liked this one better then the original for the super nintendo blew the first one out of the water in my opinion
Lates
Well, i don't thing it's worthy of rabid fanboyism and a 200 dollor price range, but it is a damn good game.
EXCLUSIVE N64 GAMES...
As far as the gameplay itself, it's perfectly paced, not too fast, not too slow. It is a game that is easy to learn hard to master. In my opinion, Soul Calibur is the most balanced of any 3D fighter. Even a beginner can pick up a controller, understand the basic concepts of the game and have some success just feeling out the game. However, it's not like Tekken (Namco's other 3D fighter) that allows button mashers to cheat their way to victory, if a person bothers to learn a characters moves, he can easily devistate a beginner. There are tons of advanced moves beyond just learing a command list, there are techniques such as the advanced guard and the 8-way run to master that seperate the average player to the advanced one. Combine this with strategies that a factored into most 3D fighters like forcing the ring out and using the clock to your advanage and you have a fighter with a serious amount of depth.
392 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Megaman legends is capcoms answer to bringing Megaman into the 3d realm on the original playstation. However this game is extremly diffrent then any other megaman game out there. In fact it has a lot in common with zelda: ocarina of time and a few rpg elements such as final fantasy while still somewhat feeling like a Megaman game. Coming from the NES and SNES Megamans I never thought I would ever compare zelda and megaman together but surprisingly it works well. Its not the greatest game or even the greatest megaman game ever but it is really fun in its own way.
I hope you found this review helpful! Good luck and have fun! :)
6) Deep and engaging story! A real mystery that you can't stop playing, you are drawn to find out what's happening.
My only dream is that both discs will be released as a single package someday. Still one of my most played discs. One of my very highest recommendations.
3198 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In comparison to Soul Blade, this game is a towering improvement. To Soul Calibur II, it is a little behind, but then, it was released 5 years prior. This also represents a very smooth transition of storylines from the first to the second in the series.
1668 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Cannot get it to work on my son's PS3.
Don't expect mind-blowing visuals. These look quite old but they don't retract from the gameplay. The anime scenes though are incredibly beautiful that range from simple character intros to big plot points. The animation seems so colorful and vibrant rather than looking a little too "adult". Even has some CG elements like Luna's song on the boat or something further in the game I'm not spoiling for you.
This is actually a hard game to review. I'm not sure who it appeals to with bland graphics and the tedium. I guess those that like cleverly hidden and hard to get rewards will like this. Those looking for innovation and strange, yet funny, humor will like this. Those looking for a good length quest will find this a blessing. It's too bad, though, that the majority of gamers probably don't fit in the above category, which is why these types of games never make it far. I was looking forward to a sequel.
Story is rather nonexistent
3022 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fun to play,good music,great story,all around fantastic game,its would be nice to see it in high def on the ps3 though(remake).
I have to first mention that I did not and will not buy Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3 for Gamecube... unlike Resident Evil Remake they have nothing new to offer me or you... which is sad after seeing what they did and what improvement remake was to the original Resident Evil. So let's just keep this review centered around the Original Resident Evil 2 game for PSX 1.
3486 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well Well Well Here it goes
5048 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The off-season's always dead in the lakeside resort town of Silent Hill, but not THIS dead. It seems that the entire town is deserted except for Harry Mason, a distraught motorist in search of his missing daughter, and Cybil Bennet, a beutiful police officer from a neighboring community dispatched to Silent Hill to discover why all communication from the sleepy resort town has ceased. Where has everyone gone? Is the small, shadowy figure that constanly eludes Harry his daugher, Cheryl? If so, why does she run from him? Bracing himself against the winter chill, Harry sets off into the unnaturally thick fog to investigate..
The dreamcast will still be one of the best games ever and that's all about it...
5803 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is by far the best game i've played although I've only played and beat a couple games. The battle system is awesome and is very customizable. Like you can junction stuff too your HP,Attack,M defense,status defense,and a lot more,and it can even be a fun process. The sound is very good and does not get on my nerves like other people say,which I don't even pay attention to the sound because i'm to in to the game...the ending song is very good. The gameplay is awesome,I love the enimies and the bosses are ussually pretty tough...The GF's are very cool,the side quests are very fun...The story is amazing,it gets better and better til the very end of the cast..The CG cinemas are amazing and will never be called bad graphics from here to whenever. The graphics are very good for the psx....I highly reccomend buying this game if you like RPG's or adventure games.
The controls are sloppy, the hit detection is horrible, especially the dash attacks, and the character animation is almost jerky enough to look like an old claymation cartoon.
3349 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The N64 port of the original NFL Blitz was such insane football game. I recall renting it several times back in Blitz's heyday. The players are so aggressive, and you literally beat the other team to death all the way through.
007 Golden Eye
2588 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OK, this is, without a doubt in my mind, THE BEST GameBoy game ever made (and probably will be for a long time). Even though I wasn't old enough when this game first came out to get nostalgic about it now, I still love the game. First of all, you start out with the ORIGINAL Super Mario Bros. game! That alone makes a great game. But in gets better. After you beat the classic game, you get another challenge, the original game, but harder (called star levels). The enemies are faster and easy ones are replaced with harder ones. But no, the geniuses at Nintendo didn't stop there. After you get a score of 300,000 you get to play "Super Mario Bros. for Super Players." This is actually the Japanese SMB 2, which was never released in the US until now. And there is TONS of other stuff to do as well: 2-player, challenges, and all the while earning extra features. This game also has the ultimate replay value. I've had it for six months I think and still play it 5 out of the 7 days of the week. This is a must have for any Mario or GameBoy freak (heck, who am I kidding, this is a must have for anyone with a pulse)!
1156 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 simply the best. great story, great graphics, great control, great replay value. it is true, n64 wasn't that great of a system, with pretty horrible games. i bought it back in 98 and up until i got my ps2 i only bought a few games for it, Zelda: ocarina, Zelda: Majora, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and DK64. There may be other good games but this game is by far the best, not just on n64 but possibly out of all video games ever. trust me people, if i say it is good, it is good. I don't give out good reviews very easily.
2639 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Iam a 14 year old female gamer. I have had one of these for about 1 year and a half and absolutely love it! In the summer of 2000,I bought Pokemon Stadium for N64 because I had just taken an interest. I did not know you needed the gameboy games(pretty stupid of me,eh?). So we bought me a kiwi colored gameboy color(too bad they had no berry color,but kiwi is just as pretty!). Along with it,I gotmy first game,Pokemon Yellow. And boy was it more than I expected. I played it hours on end! I could not put it down! I took it everywhere,in the car,resterants,grandparents',etc etc etc. It really spiced upmy summer. I kept on sticking to Pokemon games but soon I discovered more great games such as Zelda and Harvest Moon plus tins of others. I even think I enjoy it more than any other console I own(me and my brother practicly own all the systems(gamecube,PS2,dreamcast,n64,etc,etc). The batteries last a good 20 hours or so too,which is great for traveling. Yes,the gameboy advance may be out there too,and i bought one of those,but I almost think that I enjoy this more. I think gameboy color games seem to be more addicting and there are a lot more out at the present. I think the gameboy color is cooler looking than the GBA! Another great feature is that you can plug headphones in so you can play with sound without disturbing other people. I have recently broke my poor kiwi gameboy by accidently dropping it on the floor. Well,I guess we must get another one. Just make sure not to drop it because the LCD screen can get messed up. i would recommend this to anybody wholoves video game and for ANY age! This will be fun for yers to come!!
2065 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Well, what do we have here folks? A bad movie tie in game? Well, what else is new? A Bugs life for the Playstation is a almost universally hated game. I really didint know what to expect when I first fired it up to try it out. Did I like it? Not a whole lot.
7375 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I picked this up as I started to collect old games which I used to play in my childhood. It is still the best Mario platformer game I have played on a console, the graphics are really nice for a game made in the 90s, was one of the best looking games on the Game Boy, music is catchy and saves your progress automatically which is very good for a game of its length. If you've never played this I'd say it's the handheld version of the SNES Super Mario World but without Yoshi.
It is so much fun! You can build and design your own rides, or buy ones that have already been built. Food stands, bathrooms, and souvenier stands can also be purchased as well as scenery items. Detailed information is available about all of your customers, from their feelings to how much money they're willing to spend at your park. You have a certain goal to reach when you create a theme park, and when you reach it, your name will be posted under the location name. And there are many new locations to unlock as well. You can hire handymen to clean up trash and puke, mechanics to fix and check rides, security guards to make sure no one breaks anything, and entertainers that can be dressed in a panda, tiger, or elephant suit. Also, some advice: Don't let your park entrance fee be "FREE" (If you start at $1.00, people will keep saying that your entrance fee is cheap, and you get to raise it! I got as high as $20 once!)
7703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game in great condition!
8610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game sonic the hedgehog cd and sonic the hedgehog 4 episode 2 sonic the hedgehog 4 episode 1 most the first three game happen on sonic earth I am not sure of the last one now the main review I own this game on the Xbox 360 and Nintendo ds collection so far this is the only where I am not having trouble getting the chaos emerald at all
2471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Smash Bros. is one of the first games I bought for the Nintendo 64 and I was not disappointed. The levels are great although they are limited the characters are all obviously awesome and the gameplay is solid. Although Super Smash Bros Melee is obviously better(more stages,more characters,more moves,characters easier to unlock,better levels,better graphics,etc)it is still one of my favorite games. The controls are pretty solid. The CPUs are challenging and its still exciting. I say get this game youll be glad you did. If you're not already a big Smash Bros. fan youll become one.
In short, if you love the "Myst Phenomenon," get "Riven." "Riven" improves upon pretty much everything that made "Myst" such an awesome success. Let it capture your heart and your imagination like it did mine.
I'm fine with games having cutscenes per se. If this game was combat, anime, combat, anime, combat anime without any illusions of choice, I'd be perfectly happy with that.
9636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fun little game to play for any Pokemon lover out there! You do need a AAA battery for it to work shock wise however it will play just fine without it!
8347 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This RTS (Real Time Strategy) game based on many canonical points taken from the Star Trek universe, utilizes the voices of Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean Luc Picard) and Michael Dorn (Ambassador Warf) to envelop the gamer in a fascinating if not entirely cannon story fraught with peril and adventure. This series drops the mantra of "exploring the galaxy" in order to enforce the new one of "Protect the galaxy". Though the sequel Armada II is mechanically superior in every way, the original's campaign is vastly better, featuring not 3 campaigns (Federation/ Klingon/ Borg) but 5 (prior 3 plus Romulan and Omega). A warning to the hardcore however... even at the highest difficulties in instant actions the game is still relatively easy... You will likely be able to beat in in less than a week if you're familiar with RTS games. Also I encountered some visual glitches trying to run the game on windows 7. If you can put up with the glitches, aren't keen to rip your hair out difficulty, and are a fan of the series... this might just be the game for you!
4815 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game for its time. I loved the basic rts concept. There was an amazing story line. This one included water vessels which were way unbalanced IMO. Great buy for classic warcraft fans.
2084 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The product arrived in its original case with game booklet. The case was cracked and the CD had minor scratches on it. The gameplay controls are very confusing and difficult. It takes some getting used to. The image was very dark, not sure if it was my TV but no other games have ever had this problem. The in-game options did not have and actual brightness setting to help me with this. The sound during gameplay will randomly crackle and or stop all together. Overall i was not happy with the game itself. I had no problems with the provider or the arrival of the product.
9417 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Undoubtadly the best game to ever grace Sega's 16-bit Genesis, Gunstar Heroes was, and still is to this day, one of the best simple minded action games ever produced. Bearing resemblance to Konami's Contra games and other "run 'n gun" type games, the gameplay is pretty basic. You run around with automatic firing weapons blowing away the hordes and hordes of enemies that get into your way. You'll find plenty of different power ups that quickly change the pace of the game, but the two player mode is where the real fun of Gunstar Heroes is to be had. For back in it's day, the graphics were great, and today they still hold up for a 2-D side scroller shooter. Controls are incredibly easy and you know what to do from the minute you pop in the cartridge and play. The sound and music is the game's only lowpoint, but most of that can be blamed on the Genesis' poor soundchip (remember, this system was known for having shabby sound). All in all though, Gunstar Heroes is still one of the greatest action games of all time, and if you still have a Genesis and don't have this game, you should do all you can to track it down.
1842 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 this game is pretty bad first off all you can do is run strait the only good thing about is its pretty long the other bad thing is its to hard and it gets boring i wouldnt buy this game if you want a crash bandicoot game get either 2,3,4.
I really can't add much more to what's already been said, but like a former reviewer stated, one might ask oneself how an old and admittedly graphically dated game is still getting 5-star reviews. I take it it's the formula of a superbly fleshed-out world, memorable characters, engaging voice acting, a twisting and turning plot, and rich visuals.
124 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good
Others say The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game. I have to disagree. Don't get me wrong. It is easily one of my favorite games of the N64. It's a great game, very innovative (espically that nifty Z Targeting feature) and an epic in its own right. But for what the system is capable of, The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past beats it out of the coveted title of Best Zelda Game. LTTP is huge. It fully utilized the SNES technology. It had a full twelve dungeons, two of which the sole purpose was to beat the bad guy, and not try to retrieve any medallions or crystals or pendents or pieces of triforce or what ever. That's one more than the original has. (LoZ has one closer dungeon for each quest.) After you beat the bad guy twice, you go and fight Ganon. There were plenty of side quests for an SNES Zelda also. Overall, for the system's capabilites, LTTP is my favorite.
7726 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can remember playing this game when I was a youngin'. This is a classic. It features many differnt facets of Spidey-life, and you are very much Peter Parker as you are Spider Man. This may be just another side scroller beat'n'bash game, but it's a derned innovative and fun one. Check it out!
Some items you can obtain are watermelons and use their seeds as a gun liek weapon. Some melons are for flames,and others for ice. The bosses are are each unique and span out from all the zones in the game. There are 2 types of bosses a mini boss thats halfway through a zone and a full out boss they are in a castle of some sort at the end of each zone. Really good game controls are easy enough the scoring system is awsome for perfectionist.
I was almost surprised to see the few negative reviews here, but none of them really give an indepth review of the game. Of course its expected that some WoT fans would be disappointed but as a fan myself I feel Legend did the right thing. They did not try to adapt the existing books to the game, they merely used the world Jordan created and did a great job of it.
For those interested in a well-told, gorgeously rendered D&D-style adventure, with a well-defined main plot and credible monsters and NPCs, BG is a good buy.
2763 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best adventure games ever! Shame it's for older computers and it makes me miss mine. If the gaming companies ever remake Myst for XP I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
This used to be sold out game and could only be found in old stock houses and eBay. Count yourself lucky and treat yourself to this gem. Trust me, you have to have this one!
5417 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Too scratched to play and too expensive
Overall, this is not only the best SNES game to be released, but it is the second greatest Zelda game to
Anyone hesitant because of its current status, or its vintage status, or any other reason, should give it a chance. I can assure any respectable gamer that they will be pleasantly surprised by this outstanding title. Greatest game ever to some; outstanding adventure to me.
5061 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The survival horror genre has long been one of my favorites, and is, quite honestly why I bought a Playstation in the first place. I saw an ad for Squaresoft's Parasite Eve in Rolling Stone a few years ago, and ran right out and bought me a unit, along with XenoGears and Resident Evil.
3582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now doesn't that make The Dreamcast look inexpensive to you? It really is a Great Deal. DC has some of the best games ever made (Read: Shenmue or Soul Calibur or Worms, etc). It's well worth picking up, so I hope everyone who plays games does so.
In short, this is a great game!
1187 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though this game is so good,I think you should get Spyro 1 first. Spyro the Dragon gets you to a demo that leads to this. I know you'll like it. If you have Spyro 1 then try the demo! That is what I did.
-Battle system- Early on, FF8's battle system is a chore, requiring you to spend battles "drawing" magic from enemies in order to increase the power of your characters. Once you get the airship, the "junction" system shifts to the opposite end of the difficulty spectrum, allowing you draw a potentially unlimited number of powerful spells that make your party pretty much invincible. For the 2nd half the game, I didn't use magic or summons at all because my characters were super-powered from all of the magic I had summoned. To be fair, any FF game can become ridiculously easy if you spend time "leveling-up" your characters. With that said, the battles are still pretty fun, albeit short-lived, even after you spend time drawing magic to increase your party's power.
Graphics: You'll notice a difference between the new stuff and the "revamped" stuff. Basically the new is fully-animated cutscenes which help flesh out special events but usually they're served as character introductions. They're gorgeous with great character designs and they really stand out. Everything else is iffy since the overworld/town stuff is incredibly simplistic with mini-sprites and character portraits during dialogue. But if you love Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger, than this kind of graphic style is nothing.
Don't question me about the 6th Paragraph ok?
The meat of UT is in the gameplay. The bot (non player) AI is amazing, even after all this time. This is perhaps the only shooter where the single player mode is serious fun and isn't an afterthought. I sometimes even prefer playing against the computer than a human opponent. The varied modes: capture the flag, assault, etc, are very well done, and really immerse you in the action. The levels are well designed and intuitive.
CAPTAIN-COMMANDO
I will start out pointing out the weaknesses. The graphics are weak - even for the time it came out. But honestly? I prefer this over the modern and oh so cute new animation. Also, for someone who is experienced with Harvest Moon, this game can end up being very easy. Especially, near the end of the second and third year. Being someone who grew up playing Friends of Mineral Town, I mastered this game! For my last complaint, the controls can be annoying. Just wait to you try to ship all of your crops...going back in and out of your bag...
4101 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was awarded over 40 game of the year awards back in 98 and it deserved every damn one of them. The single player game utterly blows away the competition (with a rocket launcher). It is fun to play, scary as hell, and very atmospheric. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) is some of the best ever seen. For once, the enemies you face are quite capable of taking you on.
At first, it just seemed so standard and bland. Playing muliplayer for the first time, I had problems finding guns and felt confused and bored running through the Temple level. soon, somehow, something clicked, and me and my friends ended up playing it for about 4 hours straight. Towards the end of that introductory marathon Goldeneye session, we took our first stride out of the standard Deathmatch restriction- increasing my character's health to its highest limit and my friends fighting against me. Thus we coined the "God" mode, and we played this variant to death in the coming months.
There was a lot of dialogue to sort through, and many locations that I had to backtrack through, so this game kept me busy for quite a long time. "GKIII" is not for everyone's tastes, hence the M rating. It deals with vampirism and a reinvention of the death of Jesus. It was definitely thought provoking and entertaining, and if you're a fan of mystery and the supernatural then "Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" is worth a look.
9725 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 5 STARS BEST TWISTED METAL OF ALL TIME
As has been the case with each new chapter in the Final Fantasy legacy, one new tweak has been thrown into the mix, in this case going under the name "materia." As the game progresses, you'll find these colorful blocks of concentrated energy (be it on the body of a defeated enemy, alone in a cave somewhere or for sale in a shop) that grant the holder magical abilities. They're the only way to upgrade your characters' abilities, and are completely interchangeable between the members of your party. By equipping a block of materia and then defeating enemies, the magic "levels up" and gains new abilities while simultaneously strengthening its previous benefits. Each weapon and bit of armor you find throughout the game has a slot for the employment of materia, which effectively limits the number of them you can use at any one time. You'll eventually need to make some tough choices over which materia to develop and which to ignore.
5577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great haven't had no problems at all
My favorite level is the final one with the spinning discs that detach from the ceiling and explode on impact. The other favorite is one where the guy has to fight bad guys and then open up the floor opening to advance. What was really hilarious is when you pull the switch when there are still bad guys, the bad guys just simply blow up! So funny! The graphics are slightly cartoony but are really great too.
The Sega Genesis is known for being better at music and sound than the Super Nintendo. However the SNES version of Shadowrun (totally different kind of game by the way) I feel actually had better music. Sounds effects, on the other hand, are better on this one. If you want an overal game comparison ultimately the story and gameplay on the Genesis version beat out the SNES (however the songs are cooler on the SNES version).
Anyway, I still would pick it up, it's a classic. You may not be like me, but this is somebody that picked up a fourty dollar Game And Watch game.
9682 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This gane was so much fun, i thought it would stink but it was suprisingly good. This is a game the whole family will enjoy.
This is a game that is great to play back-to-back with GoldenEye 007, because you should probably learn the controls from GoldenEye before you play this game because it makes it a lot simpler (but I suppose you could play this before you play GoldenEye, but I'm someone who likes to play/view in chronological order).
2190 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There isn't anything wrong with the unit I received, my complaint is it didn't come in the original box or anything, despite getting it for a song, I had assumed it would.
This game has amazing graphics-- you can even see the snow spray off the board when you make the slightest turn. Plus, the camera controls are flawless. The sound track is pretty good, too- you can hear the snowboard scraping and the snowboarders sometimes talk, and the techo tracks that accompany the races are pretty cool too.
*SPOILER HERE*
a good portion of bosses are hand to hand combat for fighting fans
The game by itself is excellent. Lot's of puzzles, and lots of Zombies to shoot down. There are times (many of them, actually) where you much be careful how many zombies you shoot, because you can run low on bullets very quickly. The story is standard for any Survival Horror game: A group of soldiers are locked in an old mansion that is infested with zombies. An evil company has eperimented with a chemical that turns people into zombies, and the fallout turns the WHOLE TOWN into zombies. To survive, you must make your way through the mansion, and solve all the puzzles. This is definitely a challenge, and one that can be frustrating at times, but rewarding once completed.
Either way, though, Ocarina of Time is a beautiful game.
2365 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was great re-living some of my childhood days when playing this game. It actually was kind of challenging trying to remember where to go and how to beat it all over again.
I guess the real reason I love this game so much is the fact that it holds the best Theme Music to date. My favorite theme Music (even though I am not a WCW fan) is the four horsemen. That music is awsome.
Silent Hill features a variety of fears- you have the "boogeyman in the closet/sleeping with the light on" type of fear, and the other major and more dangerous "please don't make me think about death because I don't know what happens when I die" type of fear. It's important to realize, no matter how frightened you may be, in the end you're only playing a video game. I don't want anyone to go crazy letting the amount of fear in Silent Hill get the best of them, and walk around all day light-headed and nervous. It's just a game (and you may think I'm exaggerating, but I'm honestly not- it's very well possible Silent Hill could bother you days after you play it).
But nothing NOTHING is worse than the fact you have to re-enter stages over and over again just to grab all the stars that are located throughout. To me this is unquestionably lazy game design. How can it be anything else? Who in their right mind would actually *want* to keep going back to the same exact stage ad nauseam? Super Mario World was guilty of this too granted but not NEARLY to this exaggerated extent. A terrible idea that gives a false impression a game has replay value but it's exactly the opposite- once you go through the same stage a bunch of times and finally accomplish everything there is to offer, you won't want to repeat these same objectives ever again. So... you probably won't want to play Super Mario 64 ever again. Even worse- when you often have to search for 100 coins to obtain a star. This can take up to 20 minutes and bore you the entire time. Being forced to collect 100 coins is a lazy way of assuring gamers don't leave any stone unturned because you basically have to thoroughly search every nook and cranny of a stage to even *find* 100 of them.
2539 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. Will never forget it playing on the NES and Gameboy color. I have probably played world 1-1 more than five thousand times.
9191 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Had this when I was young. Me and my brother would play this all the time. Just so many good memories.
The game isn't all THAT bad, I mean... Mr. Grimm still cool, there is a new Viper car, you can use "rain missiles" as weapons, some of the characters and stories are VERY funny, the graphics were improved, the Rob Zombie intro song was AWESOME, and the London, Spaceship and Blimp stages were GREAT.
And oh yeah, it suffered from one more thing: Super Mario 64 had completely blown the lid off of everyone's expectations. Suddenly, simply average platformers made only months before suddenly looked like clunky, outdated dinosaurs.
4250 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The third in the mystery-solving series, GKIII not only improves on the series but on the genre itself!
7075 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bathed in darkness, & with a decidedly eerie atmosphere permutating into many morbid manifestations, the player is brought into a horror world of gore & mysticism. The scenery is gloriously Gothic, covered in shadow... with many lurking abominations therein...
- private actions make characters very deep
If you ever see this game in a store, buy it. You will have a good time with this game!
6934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
In case you missed out on this great game (shame on you), then you can either pick up a used copy of your SNES still works, pick up a copy released for the Game Boy Advance or download this title for the Wii via their Virtual Console Service for 800 points ($8 U.S.) It's well worth playing and well worth seeing why this game continues to receive high praise so don't miss out.
3139 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the "must-have" of the series. Skip VIII, get IX and X, and throw yourself into the mists of time to rekindle that old flame called Final Fantasy VII. This game brought the non-hardcore gamers and hardcore gamers together. (much like Star Trek IV did with non trekkies, trekkers...) The CG effects left a mark on the people who played it and introduced Final Fantasy to the mainstream. I never played any FF before this and wasn't the least bit interested, but, I tried it...the rest is history. The Statue of Mario was replaced in '97. One last thing, don't let the release year fool you...VII stands as outstanding graphically as it did then and weaves a tale that will still amaze.
you won't want to stop.
2656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are a Street Fighter die hard fan, then this game must be in your collection. As a SFII fan myself, I rate this the best compared to even the Playstation 2 versions. It is simply the most playable and the most fun incarnation of the game. Do yourself a favor and get this one. You won't regret it.
about this passage in the Zelda story. What I really want to focus on is how awesome the battle mechanics are in this game, it works so well and rarely any games of modern era can even touch it's sword play mastery. It's so satisfying to fight bosses and sword wielding enemies.
7998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now it's up to dixie kong to save the Kongs and taging along is her baby Brother. Well you would think alot of bad stuff but having him around actually helps he makes up in strenght but not speed. I think he is a pretty good character/. This was just as good as the first two and the animal friends are pretty sweet. And if you really want to beat the game you have to collect all of the bananna birds. This game still rocks
Graphics: 6 We've seen better graphics on playstation, but hey, this wasn't meant to be state of the art...then again, neither was Frogger but we played that for months now, didn't we?
Oh, and I HAVE to mention the ultra-cool futuristic robot stages (which require near-perfect jumping patterns in order to complete). The Jet Ski stages are really fun because you're located on top of the ocean and I guarantee you will have the time of your life jumping over ramps while avoiding those floating bombs. Yup, it's awesome. This is what makes Crash Bandicoot 3 so great- you won't know WHAT to expect until you enter the level.
6165 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 nostalgia out the wazzoo
like defenses and weapons, travel through temples, facilitys, castles, bases, mountians, journey through what napali has to offer, and end up and the skaarj mothers ship, confronting the queen skaarj.......unaided and alone! I would indenefinetley recommend this game to first person sci-fi fan shooters!
2323 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love the three person tag teams, the trios run togeather, but you can tag the next leader by pushing circle. Every character on each team has their own special moves, but the teams are all pretty well balanced, they all have a fast hero, a strong hero, and a hero that can fly.
performs in battle, you can simply swap them out for another character.
7057 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fun game. I like the items like the gun that kills monsters one hit. This game is different than most games where you kill monsters. Usually you have like a gun or something and just blow their heads off. You can do that on this game, but you can also deliver a little hand-to-hand combat. It surprised me that you can fight the monsters with your bare hands. At first I thought you just fought them like in matches or something like you do on Mortal Kombat and other fighting games . This game has good graphics and is fun. If you like severing monsters and zombies limbs, you'll like this game.
The character models out of battle look ridiculous out of battle and pretty nice in battle.
6113 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been a Pokemon fan for a while and I ordered this, no regrets or dissapointments. This game was bafore they "Redone" the way the pokemon were animated in this game and alot of the pokemon will look different than they do in R/B/Y and so on. In the US we got this game but it was redone and is Pokemon Blue. Do not get this if you think it has different pokemon or wish to trade to American Versions,if a Japanese game is traded to an American version it will corrupt data on both games.
6481 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think anyone who sees or plays this game even once will be hooked. Historical details are not usually high on the list of priorities when it comes to video game, in this one it obviously was. There are one and two player modes. I enjoy both equally. High resolution Nazis try to blast you back to the stone age, you are able to fight back with a large variety of pistols, rifles, machine guns and explosives. The opponents have a fantastic artificial intelligence and will do things like make soldiers look over their shoulders when you walk by and attempt to throw or kick back your grenades. You get a history lesson as your player (OSS agent Jimmy Paterson) travels behind the lines in occupied Europe to destroy German weapons of destruction. The sounds in the game are life like, crickets and dogs at night, footsteps that get louder as people get closer, spent bullet cases hitting the cobblestones, death screams. I can't say enough for this game, I cross my fingers for a sequel and so will you if you play it. Easily worth the price.
5. Each character has his/her own personality, and reacts to situations differently(such as when Khalid panics and runs away like a little girl!...)

3152 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game I have ever played in my whole existence. It has a great story and great fighting, any one who likes RPGs will like this game. I have beaten it three times and I still want to beat it a lot more.
So now let's see just how the Nintendo 64 compares to the Playstation. For starters, the picture clearly indicates one thing the Playstation didn't have: four controller ports. The only way to play with four players on the Playstation was to attach a multi-tap to its front. In terms of the controllers themselves, the Playstation wins; with its sleek, ergonomic design and simple button layout, it's no competition. The Nintendo 64, on the other hand, has an awkward-to-handle controller with three handles--almost as if Nintendo expected there to be gamers with three hands looking for a new Nintendo console. The only thing better about the Nintendo 64's controller is how it was the first to have a built-in thumbstick--which Sony later took to but into their Dualshock controller.
My favorite scary bit... funny in a freaky way: When you're in the school, you find a locker with something inside budging it. You open it and a cat runs out. The cat runs out the door and you hear a crunch sound as if it was eaten. When you enter the NIGHTMARE school, you find that same locker, only with NOTHING in it except a pool of blood. Konami was on drugs when they made this game.
4518 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is Konami's attempt at ripping off Namco's Ace Combat series. Plain and simple. Whoever was expecting Microsoft Flight Simulator really needs to buy a clue. The Dreamcast is a game CONSOLE, people... not a PC. There is simply no way to replicate the dozens of keyboard commands required to produce a realistic flight simulation.
8599 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 F Zero is one of the reasons why you should own an SNES. It is beautiful. It is very fast for 16 bit and the levels are all classic. I don't understand how people can say things like "this game isn't very fast" or "the vehicles run as slow as a turtle" because I think this game is so fast that sometimes it's very hard to control your vehicle in some courses like Death Wind and Fire Field. These people may not know that you get an extra boost of power that you can use after the 1st lap. The music too is classic Super NES at it's best. For as old as this game is it still looks and sounds great and for me the gameplay remains as fun and as fresh as it was in 1991. This game is different than the other F Zero games that came after it in that when you get ahead of the other racers or get first place you get a 1 up which makes it fun. The challenge is when to know to boost and get ahead of the other racers. Overall I say if you liked the other F Zero games you should check this one out since it was the one that started it all.
3613 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This tekken will be my favorite tekken the second one was way to hard I probably beat it only twice but tekken three is alot easier to play and get into and the AI is spamming you like in tekken 2
When there were hypes and information of MGS, i wasn't interested in it at all because i'm a old schooler, just into 2D games. However, when i had a chance to play a demo at Toy'R'Us, i knew i had to get this game for no matter what. So i ended up getting it the day it came out and was so amazed at the masterpiece.
FFII- wound-developable characters
978 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Turok 2: Seeds of Evil" has a lot to love about it. The music rocks. The graphics are still quite good for N64 standards (especially if you have the Expansion Pak). It controls just fine (get used to the C-button controls). There's some good multiplayer. It's a bloody, gory mess. And the weapons are freaking awesome (just wait till you see the Cerebral Bore).
2. The use of characters from books and films. Although Rebellion shows its age by incorporating worlds and characters mentioned in books published up to 1998, I like the fact that the game designers did not limit the cast of "agents" to just the canon film characters. Fans of such Expanded Universe characters as Grand Admiral Thrawn, Talon Karrde, Borsk Fey'lya, Labria, and Pellaeon will find them included here. The one limiting factor is that only a few major characters will have audio cues included in their mission reports (and even those get old fast if you play the game in one sitting), so don't expect to hear the famous Thrawn's musings or Chewbacca's growls. I also like the fact that certain characters have strong Diplomacy ratings (Leia, Mon Mothma, Piett, Jerjerrod, and of course Vader and the Emperor) that only get better with each mission, while others are better at Combat and Espionage.
The levels in this game are nicely-varied. You run through six levels consisting each of three acts, and at the end of the third acts (except for Scrap Brain, the last level), you have a boss fight with Dr. Robotnik. Each level has its own theme. The first and iconic level, Green Hill Zone is a level full of greenery and some tropical trees, while there's levels like the Spring Yard Zone that are almost like giant, colorful pinball machines without the flippers, and there's even a beautiful, star-lit level called the Starlight Zone. One of the most hated levels in the series is the Labyrinth Zone, mainly because out of all the water-based zones in the Sonic games, this one is where you were most likely to drown.
9160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I use to play this when I was a kid. Brought back great memories, thanks.
up-c, up, left-c, right, down-c, down, right-c, R, A, B... you will hear a horse neigh if it worked. On the menu screen it will display a cheats section now, but don't worry about going into it, that's a cheat section for found cheats, not what you've just entered with the code, When your playing, press start on controller 2 to toggle through different options, and find the one that says cheats, and press whatever corresponding buttons it says to use for the cheats for weapons, invincibility, all items etc. I found it so much easier to play with the cheats on. Just watch out for long drops and moving cars and doors, and some of the big monsters walking on you etc `cause you might have god mode on, but you still can be squished.
6150 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Both work fine, packaging was dicey, but, it made the journey.
Despite the comments and emails I've gotten about this review, I still leave it as 1-star. Without the nostalgia goggles I didn't enjoy the story, the graphics, the gameplay, or the characters.
917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game arrived quickly and as described. I am happy with this purchase. Thank you
The unfolding story of The Nameless One and his quest to find himself is still one of my favorite games of all time in ANY genre.
This game isn't that easy, not if you really take the time to seek out all the high scoring fruit and hearts. I'm not sure why people are saying it is. In fact, levels in the last world can get pretty challenging with all kinds of traps. It makes you want to grab as many fruit as you can to fill your quota before you lose.
There are of course chocobos, your yellow friends that can carry you around. In this version, they can even lay eggs! You never know what will hatch out of one, and it's a neat way to add new monsters to your group.
Musically Final Fantasy VIII sounds good. It doesn't sound quite as good as Final Fantasy VI or Final Fantasy X, but the tracks that stand out are among the most recognizable in Final Fantasy history. Much of it has the love story soundtrack going for it. There's a lot of slow low key musical numbers. For some gamers this probably won't cut it. Especially when compared to the more lively and upbeat soundtracks of the other games.
9459 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Game
my life for auir!
But these games are an excellent preparation for today's hurried world. The amount of coordination needed is tremendous. I have learned not only this coordination, but patience (sometimes you must do something over and over and over and over), perseverance (and over and over more times yet) to get your timing right - discipline, and creative concepts that require to think like a kid!
It's a challenging game, not like: "shoot everything you see."
Basically the "mission" is to recover all the 120 stars and save the Princess from the evil "Bowser." It's really easy and you can beat the game in about a month. Even though I have plenty of Nintendo games, I still go back to this game once in awhile because it's a classic favorite. Many current Nintendo games can't compete against it. If only this game was a bit more challenging!! I think all new Nintendo 64 buyers should get this as there first game because you can explore alot with controls and skills that'll help you out in more challenging games.
Game play is fairly easy to learn. You just click on a building and the unit you want to build. It's easy to order your units to fight or where to go but you can only control 15 units at a time. The biggest negative about this game is that you can't queue up your barricks to produce more than one unit at a time. This can make the game a bit too busy and tiring and requires you to have several barricks. For example to maintain a steady source of resources you may need two main camps and one smaller one surrounding gold mines. That means probably at least 5 barricks, three town halls as well as at least one gnomish inventor and aviary and a navy or two. Considering you will have at least a couple dozen peons gathering resources and building farms it becomes a contest of who can point and click the fastest as you constantly move from building to building while trying to control your military units. A lot of work. Too bad blizzard hasn't added the multi queing feature which exists in age of empires gold and just about any newer game. Maybe there is a mod that can be downloaded to ad this feature but it is not available here. For that reason i only give the game 4* but it still makes for plenty of good clean fun for very little money.
This fact kind of hits home with me. A little over a year ago, I was in a crippling auto accident (broke my neck/spinal injury) where I could have easily been killed. So the game's theme is a bit creepy to me at times and gets me thinking that I'm not afraid of dying.
I loved playing this game and it's the only reason I still have my Genesis. If you are a fan of RPG games from this era, or a Shadowrun, or a fan of cyberpunk styled games I highly this one to you.
Story mode (especially in China) gets real repetitive
To be honest, there isn't much gameplay outside of the constant battles. While Squall is wandering around the world map, he will be periodically attacked by various monsters, making for slow progress while traveling on foot. In towns and dungeons, you may move from one area to another simply by reaching the end of the screen. Whenever this occurs, however, the screen must slowly fade out and then in again, which may annoy more impatient players. Another thing which bothered me while walking around cities was the complete absence of any map screen. I found this irritating to deal with, especially when exploring more expansive locales such as Deling City. The towns, however, only serve as rest stops before larger and more epic fights. FFVIII is basically a string of encounters laced together with a giant world map to traverse and a rich plot to unravel. There are many vehicles that can be acquired or rented to make your way across said map, including cars, trains, boats, and the ever-present airship. As with many other Final Fantasy titles, jumping is nonexistent unless you are so prompted to do so. Despite the fact that the world map lacks much in the way of sightseeing, it does its job of providing the player with the feeling that they are traveling through a land larger than expected. I don't have any qualms with the controls, as they are basically limited to rotating the analog stick and pressing `x'. As with almost every other Final Fantasy game, there are a number of sidequests to complete as well as a strangely addictive card game by the name of Triple Triad. There are an amazing amount of regional rules to consider when playing, ranging from reasonable to extremely frustrating (such as the ridiculous `random' rule). The gameplay satisfies and the cutscenes are, to say the least, beautiful. It's good, old-fashioned RPG excellence.
2401 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Came in manilla envelope without original box and papers, who really needs that stuff anyways? I bought it used for a reason.
This is a kids game that happens to be quite enjoyable even for adults due to the economic aspects of the game (i.e. managing the park, budgeting of staff training etc). I would recommend the game for early to mid teens and even adults looking for a temporary reprieve from reality. You won't be disappointed.
From the REALISM point of wiew this game lacks almost nothing, exept for the flexibility of the AI. When you have played the same level a few times you realize that the terrorits are always in similar positions, and it is very easy to simply pin point every one of them. Anyway I believe that this is not to be considered a major shorfall in the game, since you are not be supposed to try over and over a mission before getting it right! Another thing I believe is great in the game is the great variety of weapons avaylable, all of them with different characterisics. This feature gives you the opportunity to customize you team and the action plans very easily, giving you the option of trying the same scenarios over and over again experimenting different tactics. Also very interensting are the TONS OF MODS FILES avaylable on the web. You can get anything from an automatic grenade launcher to a Star Wars stormtrooper laser blaster. Even if these weapons are not exactly what you would find in anti-terrorist units, they nonetheless add a completely new level to the game.
3. I actually like Aeris the most in this game. I loved her goofy and flirty personality in this game. She became my favorite character in this game, and then I would say Nanki was my second favorite lol.
2383 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It has always been a habit for children to exhibit and swap their card/sticker/toy collections with their friends in school. The premise of Pokemon -to collect and train pokemon - was the perfect fertile growing field to exploit this fascination children had with collecting things. The first exploit was the TV show, where the characters in the videogame were rendered onto the TV screen. When that became popular enough, the creators rendered the full 150 Pokemon into thousands of different incarnations. Pokemon T-shirts, teddybears, actionfigures, trading cards, stickers, watches etc were all created under the slogan: 'you've gotta catch 'em all'... Parents had a rotten time, that's for sure. And it was this capitalistic, persistent, and continuous explotation of the pokemon name which made the name synonymous with childrens toys. The pokemon legacy was ruined by this exploitation, and the videgame was largely discredited as a childrens fad. But before the TV show, the toys, the trading cards, etc..the game stood pure and unspoilt by the impending pokemon-craze which was about to accompany it. Everybody loved the game. Pokemon was revered.
9310 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Max Payne is a third person game with a fantastic single player gameplay but no multiplayer gameplay. It has an average plot, ground breaking graphics and lots of comic book type animated cutsences. It supports two video modes "Direct3D Hardware T&L" and "Direct3D Software T&L". Set in New York City, Max Payne is a cop who goes undercover to seek revenge against the gangsters who killed his wife and daughter, His cover is blown and is framed for murder with cops and gangsters after him. The game ends with a great climax action which will do any hollywood movie proud. What's unrealistic is Max is a cop fighting against drugs but he uses pain killers to cure his injuries. I played on the Direct3D hardware T&L and the game runs very smooth. The graphics are fantastic, The charecters and world look real, Though not many different colours. The world detail is superb, You could turn on the tv, shoot it and watch it explode. The sound recording is very good and loud. The music which plays during the action sences is superb. Load times are very good, The quick saving and quick loading are very quick.

This game is a stragedy rpg that features rich characters, interesting game play,side stories and many hours of game play. I am still waiting for them to put out another one and always check boards to see if there will be another one..alas... I still wait ... Highly recommend!

4656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I discovered this on a Playstation Demo CD and couldn't enough of it. True, the limited memory and the complex instructions are a con, it is still VERY, VERY good. It's fun and addictive and I recomend it to anyone who likes music and always wanted to make their own as easy as possible.
6448 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first Age of Empires was a critical and consumer success, gaining rave reviews and selling over 2 million copies. The first was a success because of the blend of strategy action and historical charcters. The sequel, The Age of Kings, expands on this winning formula, and in doing so, creates the best real time strategy game avaliable on the market. The game focuses on 13 major empires, such as the Persians, Vikings and Japanese. As head of one of these 13 kingdoms, you must defeat your enemies to gain rulership over all the land. This is very fun, being that each race is varried and has different strengths and weaknesses. It is also fun, because each one has a different look to them, the Japanese buildings look much different than the Vikings. The real fun of the game starts when you play the preset historical scenerios. You take control of such historical figures as Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan and William Wallace (ie Braveheart). These are all historically accurate and can help you learn a great deal about the time period. There also is an excellant multiplayer game, featuring the usual deathmatch games, as well as a regicide game, which gives each team a king, and the first one to destory each others king. All of these features add up to the best RTS game on the market for the money. The guide for the game, is also a great value, it retails at 20 dollars and gives you all you would need to know about the game, without spoiling it. All and all, this is the best game you can buy, and you will enjoy it for a long, long time.
8211 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all let me say the game looks much better when you play it on a tv than a dinky little Game Boy Advance. The definitive version is this one. The music is amazing the controls incredible the challenges hard but never too frustrating. I think of it as Super Mario Bros 3 part 2 because the games are so similar they are like connected somehow. If you missed out on Super Nintendo(the best video game system of all time) when you were a kid,I advise you get your credit card and order an SNES plus this game pronto. You won't regret it.
Then we come to another mistake Nintendo made in the N64 version of Zelda. Granted, LoZ had two main tracks, one being the Overworld theme and then the dungeon theme. They could have had more variety, but it was back in the Stone Age. That Overworld Theme became pretty much the theme of the entire series. And guess what they decided to omit music wise from OoT? The Overworld them from the original LoZ! I couldn't believe they did that! Hopefully we'll see it in Zelda Gaiden. Maybe the Triforce will show up in that game too. Just a thought.
The game has the Mario flare that we have come accustomed to as fans of the series. Platforming, underwater levels, koopas, and more show their faces throughout Mario Land. It's fun for all ages, and offers about 32 levels of playtime. I will say though that up until the final level, the game is easier than community college (I had over 70 lives at the end of the game), and then all of a sudden you're thrown into the final level, which has a much steeper difficulty curve than anything you've played before. The game introduces Mario's nemesis, Wario, who more than capably fills the shoes of Bowser as the bad guy.
The game can be a little slow at times, but its still a true classic; but not as good as the streets of rage games though or other walk-through beat'em up games like the Punisher.
3927 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Some of the newer Star Wars strategy games (ex: Force Commander) could learn some lessons from this great old title. I purchased this game upon first release and it has been a constant icon on every PC I've owned (3) since. I will not uninstall it, ever. In fact the first thing I do after getting a new machine is to load this game.
Although many people aren't interested in NBA Hang Time as much as they're interested in newer games that came out for Playstation 2 and XBOX, but there are some new gamers out there who have the Nintendo 64, that might want to enjoy the 2 on 2 Basketball fever. If you own the Nintendo 64, but you don't have NBA Hang Time, you need to make that shot for 3, and get this video game.

3948 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The controller felt better in the hands than an original N64 controller (only giving it 4 because the thickness of the cord is not really thick).
StarCraft was one of the first strategy games I played where I got swept up into the storyline and became fond of the individual character types. Even many years later I still refer to the "zerglings" and remember the behavior of the individual troop types.
If you don't already have FFVII, hurry and get it! You won't be disappointed.
456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS GAME WAS A VERY GOOD GAME. BUT THIS AIN'T AS GOOD AS TEKKEN 1.

THIS IS A DEFINITE GEM. GET THIS AND ITS PREDECESSOR FOR THE ULTIMATE GAMING EXPERIENCE!!

Oh, and the music and sound effects are amazing. Perhaps the best music and sound effects in a survival horror game ever. Instead of featuring melodic themes, you are treated to sound effects and musical notes that seem to play randomly, almost making it sound like improvised music, like something from a King Crimson record. This means, if you listen to the music carefully, you can hear a bunch of unusual and creepy sound effects in the background. You hear something different each time. It's awesome, and works great. It's not a typical soundtrack in any shape or form, even by survival horror standards. It's so good.
For being a play station one game, the graphics engine rocks! The light effects, water, fire and of course crystal glass its awesome no doubt one of the best looking games in the pso library.
The game starts off showing cut scenes of Samus dropping off a baby Metroid at a laboratory only to rush back and find Ripley, a long time villain of Samus, breaking in and stealing the baby Metroid. You briefly control Samus, fighting him off and then escaping the space station before it explodes. You fly to a mysterious planet and here is where the game officially begins.
But despite the minor problems with voices or a rather sluggish plot, GK3's good points far outweigh the bad. It is full of challenging problems and provides hours of great fun and excitement, which is exactly what a game should do. GK3 amalgamates innovation with traditional murder-mystery storytelling, so if you're looking for an adventure game triumph, then look no further than Gabriel Knight 3: it's a real winner.

1416 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I only bought a N64 recently, but played it numerous times at friends houses. I've already got a PS2 with 38 games, and 6 for the N64, and have played god knows how many others but I have to say that Super Mario 64 is on my top 5 list!
9508 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MY favorite SNES title available. Super Mario World had many levels and was like Super Mario Bros. 3 upgraded into a whole new realm of 2-d. This time around this doesn't follow the traditional MArio franchise style of gameplay. You play as the little dino Yoshi and his pals(wich are multi colored yoshis!)
"Turok 2" was one of the N64's most critically-acclaimed titles for the console, rightfully so. But be warned, it'll test your gaming logic more than you expect.

1644 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Maximum vintage gameage! This game is packed with the best (and worst?) of the arcade days. First, there's Ms. Pac-Man...though this might be the Japanese version; the Midway one played differently. Galaxian is the precursor to Galaga; maybe it should've been on Volume 1 instead? Phozon is based on the atom principle--you collect the various atoms (with your X-shaped thingy) to form various shapes matching the one(s) in the background. Dig Dug, also back, features that guy in a suit digging in the underground, collecting fruits/vegetables, and dropping rocks on (or blowing up) Pookas [little bouncing orange creatures with big eyes] and Fygars [basically small dragons]. Pole Position II is the sequel to Pole Position; this time you have your choice of 4 tracks to race on. I didn't play Tower of Druaga much as I don't care for that game. Don't forget, you can also check out knowledge/history of the games in the various Museum virtual rooms; there's even a stack of NG magazine covers in the Library! If you were addicted in the early 1980s, get addicted again...only this time you don't need quarters to play!
552 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 We stopped watching the series (lack of time) and so this was a nice way to keep the excitement going. The game is good, perhaps a little disorienting at first. I spent the first hour sitting at Craig Willmore's desk, doing nothing :)

5608 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A++
This sim is based on the last major German offensive in WWII. The speed and maneuverability of the fighters are slightly embellished towards the Axis aircraft, the German planes are given similar maneuverability to superior aircraft like the P-51, which makes for fair battles on either side. Flyable aircraft are limited to the Spitfire, P-51, P-47, P-38, Bf-109, Fw-190, and Me-262. Many Axis and Allied bombers like the B-17 are included, but they are non-flyable. There is a big selection of tanks, ground vehicles, buildings, and other objects on the mission builder, which is very easy to use. Massive tank battles can be created in just a few seconds by placing tank divisions on the map. The V-1 Flying Bomb is also on the mission builder. There is also the ability to set an infinite combination of trigger points, which are invisible values, times, and conditions that can cause an action like making more planes appear, or anything else you can think of. The sim has pretty good graphics, though there are almost no trees and the ground is completely flat except for a few buildings and mountains. There is only a small area of land that is modeled, and no water or ships at all. AI is very good, even the best pilot can be shot down by a rookie fighter if hes not careful. Tanks dart away when shot at by planes, but just sit there when other tanks attack. The menu is very fun and easy to use, great user interface. The menu music is catchy and true to the time period. In-flight music is somewhat annoying. You can learn a lot from the narrated documentaries on each aircraft. All in all pretty realistic, defiantly the best combat flight sim from the 90s.

Sadly that doesn't pan out in practice. Part of it is that the Hellfire design feels largely uninspired and lacks the cohesiveness, balance and ingenuity that went into original Diablo. In fact there are only two really good features in Hellfire. The first is the "Jog" toggle that allows your character to run in Tristram. Too bad it doesn't function in the dungeons. The second is the "Search" spell that helps you locate items on the ground. Unfortunately it's a spell, so you have to spend mana on it. Blizzard rolled up both these features in Diablo II in much improved form. As it stands they end up not benefiting Diablo very much.
The main reason I still like this game is that it has amazing, Zelda-esque depth to it. Many puzzles, and 15 element types of Pokemon. Certain types are stronger against others, while each type has its weaknesses, too. There are a total of 150 Pokemon to be caught. However, some only appear in the Red version and some only in Blue. You must link to the Blue version to catch all 150! (To make this easier, some people buy a Red AND Blue AND a Game Link Cable so they could complete the game on their own).
You basically start out in a dungeon, lying on a hospital table, and then are greeted by Morte who will help you get started with how the game works, your fighting, journal, etc. He will then join up with you and help you escape the place. There is much to do right from the beginning, trying to escape. I don't wanna give away too much, because it is a very awesome storyline.
Gameplay: here's the sticking point for me. If you've continued to play SimCity 2000 until you're red-eyed and guaranteed to be late for work/school, you'll probably do the same with 3000. Given all the new bells and whistles, it'll take some time to try them all and see how this affects that. From this point, however, two camps emerge. One camp will continue playing the game for years and loving every minute of it, relishing the freedom to create anything they want. I fall into this category. The other camp, once having seen everything and mastered building megalopoli at will, are going to wonder what's the fun anymore. So depending on your expectations for the game it'll be either a gift from heaven or something you may well have wished didn't cost 40 to 50 bucks.
5020 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There's something about this quiet little resort town that seems to draw all the darkness together into one place, all the madness from deep-seated nightmares into one name: Silent Hill. The name itself evokes visions of twisted creatures and primal fears come to life, and it's been this way for years, after four games, several comic series, and a feature film. But here is where it all started, the game that introduced us to the little town of Silent Hill.
I took off the .5 because the difficulty setting is too easy for a lot of people. These are Nintendo games, so people don't complain because they're amazing, but you have to admit, a more challenging Mario game would be a lot of fun.

6363 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good game, however I do have a problem. If you have a Vodoo sound card you might get a whole lot of echo in your speakers.
Installation is easy-peasy, and this works not only on most PC games (Flight Simulator 98, X-Wing, Rogue Squadron, Need For Speed series, Midtown Madness, NFL Fever 2000, NHL2001, and probably 100 more I don't own), but it works GREAT with nes and snes emulators and games, and psone emulated games as well. If you really need analog sticks, there are other gamepads you should look into, but if not, this is the pc equivalent of what most people are using to play PS2 games.
Being the best graphics of this time of gaming, FFVII tops it all. To start off the characters have no mouths which is ok at least its better than having no faces at all like "The Grand Stream Saga". But we will continue on with this game. The magic has ok graphics at the beginning but as you get stronger magic the graphics glint every where all over the screen. Each element of magic (Fire, Thunder, Earth, Ice are the major ones) has 3 levels, and each graphic is bigger each time and can grow even larger when you're fighting multiple enemies and use it on all of them. The summoning's probably are the better detailed of graphics when it comes to battles. There are sixteen bundles of joy waiting for you in the wonderful world out there. Each one you summon has there own special element or non-element attack when you summon them.

The premise is simple. You are given control of either the Empire under Emperor Palpatine or the Rebel Alliance under Mon Mothma. If you start out as the Imperials you'll get a significant advantage in technology and capital ships as well as more developed worlds...plus you have a bonafide Jedi in Darth Vader, who can detect and train Jedi Students as he discovers them, making these officers even more valuable (more on this later). The Rebels start off with 2nd rate capital ships and planets that are far flung for the most part. Thier base is moveable, and under the circumstances that's a good thing since part of the Imperials' goals is to destroy the Rebel base.

6421 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Start with villagers, some resources, a town center and build up you little outpost into a great center of trade, diplomacy, and a place where enemies, who want what you have, are going to destroy you! this is what Age of Empires 2 is all about. you start from scratch, with just some mere villagers. you gather up resources to build an army to conqueror and defend. its really like all real-time strategy games. however, unlike some of its counter-parts (ahem... cough starcraft warcraft cough) it has a lot of the same buildings and lots of the same core units. in warcraft and starcraft, every race has different resources gatherers whereas in Age of empires2, you always have the same villager. in AOE2, the only differences between races would be unique units, and unit/tech trees. each race has their own econonic boosts and disadvantages. the unit/tech tree that i am talking about is that each race can make a certain unit and research a certain technology that another race cannot. for example: the chinese can build bombard towers, but the celts cannot. the chinese can build Camels, while the celts cannot. however, celts can research much stronger infantry technology, including weapons and armor advancements, while the chinese cannot. overall, you will have lots of fun playing this game no matter if you have played both starcraft and warcraft previously.

Yeah, so it isn't much different from other Mario games, but that's not the point. The point is, there are 120 stars out there (although 70 is need to beat the game, but where's the fun in that?) for you to collect. Your misson to explore 15 worlds to find those 120 stars.

3042 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably one of the best games for RPG players. However, too expensive currently (as of August 2006). I bought the PC version and the Playstation version years back and still have them. The PC version does look better especially during fight scenes. Unfortunately, for use on Windows XP you have to get a software patch for later in the game (chocobo race). Great great game. I would say 'shame on you' to the sellers that are charging so much for the games but I understand their reasons.
Get this game at all costs! The gameplay is fun, the soundtrack is superb, Everything about it is great!!!
For these games,they are classics,and are fun to play. If you can't read Japanese,or don't know what Red/Blue are like,play Red or Blue first,and memorize the game. Also,learn to write Japanese,to understand it better. Remember to buy handbooks. Anyway,good game.

In addition, an embedded card game series is quite complex, almost chess like. Often we were hard pressed to beat some of their masters, but winning the games brought great advantages going forward.
--Yes, the summon scenes are long--but that's because the game is giving you the chance to "boost" the monster's attack. (I think you hold Select and rapidly press Square, watch the box in the corner, and stop when there's an x in the box)--but don't quote me on that.
Based on demos that I have, Ecco and Fur Fighters could be good. KISS Psycho Circus has awkward controls. Kao the Kangaroo moves a little slow for my taste.

Also, this game apparently was from a TV show/Anime and I never knew about it all this time...well that explains its anime-like intro for the game lol
There are a variety of stages to choose from, and most of them have their own gimmicks. The Mushroom Kingdom (unlcokable) has pipes you can go into, and Pokemon Stadium lets you open a door that certain Pokemon pop out of and attack.

1844 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has brought me so many memories about other games I used to play on the PS1, but this one is on my top 10 :) I played the demo as a kid and when I bought it recently, I ended beating the game 100% in a few days o.o" All I can say is that the game is worth it to play and that u have to continue with the series :)
Overall, I recommend you get this portable classic.
Finally, Castlevania in 3-D! Despite many shortcomings, the game does have some eerie music and a dark atmosphere, which are characteristic of a Castlevania game (at least the newer releases). You can select between two characters (Carrie and Reinhart) that change the storyline somewhat.
The thing is insanely sensitive and easy to break. The first stupid thing it does is in its use, you put the Gameshark into the slot, then stick the game up on top of it. As with many cartridge game systems, it seems you need to wiggle it about, and position it just right just for it to work. I remember spending several minutes during the last leg of my first Gameshark's life trying to adjust the game on top to be slightly lop-sided, because it simply would not work if I just pushed the cartridge down all the way, like it's supposed to.
I would recommend this game either on the Super NES or as a virtual game for the Wii. Whereas some older games are good just for their nostalgia factor, DK Country is certainly one that can be played and enjoyed even 13 or so years after it's original release.
-The game is too easy. The AI's have to lock on you to start doing damage, were by the time they lock on, you could easyly aim for their heads and kill them.
Nice mods bound to show up.
5881 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Take Resident Evil,jack its graphics up alot,set it in the past,give it a look like a horror movie ,and add sudden movments. What do you get?Nocturne! Nocturne is d*mn near perfect because of its kick ass graphics and almost perfect sound. Not many games like this come along that are this good. If you play this game in the dark,you'll have the feeling like you are IN the game and you are the STRANGER(your charecter).Nocturne gets into you,and fast. The effects of its true horror it posses's is unimaginable. These effects actually stay with you LONG AFTER YOU'VE STOPED PLAYING.The only reason I kept this game from a 5 is the high requirments.they would be P2 400mhx,128 Megs of ram,Basiclly any 3d card but a Voodoo,and 1 gig of HD.
6611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a veteran of the 16-bit SNES days, I can recall countless hours spent playing Final Fantasy III and thinking that it was the best game ever to grace the SNES platform. Well, six years later, my opinion has not changed. Final Fantasy VI has been re-released, keeping intact the entire game as it was back then, with Final Fantasy V as a special bonus.
Most of the time I would say that the play control only diminishes the fun of the game, but doesn't ruin it. However, in this instance it does. The control sucks the fun out of the game just as the zombies do the blood out of your neck, while you are fumbling around with the controller. The game isn't very difficult, but the play control makes the game more work then it is worth.
6910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quick delivery, and just as described. Thanks so much!!
When you use your bullets, there is fun that you consider the remaining bullets. And the sound is the horror sound. The monster are horror too.
What makes Final Fantasy 7 so great, especially considering the past titles, the sequels, and other great titles such as Dragon Warrior Series, BReath of Fire, and so on. It has a special something that few games really have. Any game can draw you into a story, hell old NES titles such as Ninja Gaiden and Zelda could do that. However what makes this so great is that it is one of the select few titles in the relm of video gmaes that can do something that no other games can, but I shall reveal that later. LEts talk about the game.
6172 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes.
4676 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great game to play with a friend or two or more. It's still fun to play it by yourself but it's definately better as a multiplayer game. This game is pretty addicting, so if you have alot of time to kill this is the perfect game for you. Hopefully there will be an upgraded version for this on the Playstation 3 but I highly recommend this game.
7801 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Nothing at all like the SNES version. Bad graphics,limited character roster,limited moves and danger moves,unresponsive controls,dreadful sound....just all around bad. I wouldn't wish this port of KI on my worst enemy. What a terrible disgrace to such a great game.
5445 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I first bought this game in a Hastings book store a long time ago and I've been a Mk fan for quit some time, so I went ahead and bought it thinking "This is great! I've got MK trilogy that has all of my favorite characters in it. And Midway makes really great games.(LOL) And I managed to find it in a five dollar bin. This is truly a lucky day for me."
The greatest narrative strength of Final Fantasy VII isn't its characters or plot. It's the SETTING. The player might be controlling Cloud, whom the game's events revolve around, but more often than not Cloud is just a tiny purple and yellow speck on the screen as he makes his way through a gigantic Mako reactor or trudges through a sweeping stretch of wilderness. The Planet itself is Final Fantasy VII's star, thrust into the center stage by the game's immense beautifully-rendered environments.
If anyone is reading this, you better buy it. There is no possible way you will not enjoy this one.
All in all, Final Fantasy Tactics is an exceptional game. The engrossing gameplay, great graphics, story, and characters make it a must have for fans of the genre or considering fans.
The graphics are fine, considering the game isn't new anymore. This is truly an entertaining game with only a few flaws(flaws that I only noticed after playing Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn). The character interaction in the group is almost non-existant, and it would have been nice with a little more in-groub dialogue. There are plenty of characters that you can have join your group...almost too many. Sometimes you are really have doubts about who you want since you are limited to a total of 6 members(including yourself). Even with the limited NPC(NonPlayerCharacter) interaction most NPC's are still very different and have good developed personalities.
7367 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best fighting game ever. There are loads of characters to choose from all with loads of special moves. The best thing about the game are the ultra combo's with hits in excess of 80 hits. The graphics look like they are straight from the arcade and the game play in two player mode has the greatest appeal than i have seen in any other game
7370 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great! No troubles getting it to work! :)
1719 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the one that started it all i have it and you should to i will in detail say the pros and cons of the game.
5045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is in a genre of its own as far as I'm concerned. Whilst it may be in the same vein of some other action/horror titles, it is by far superior in every aspect imaginable. This game provokes a constant atmosphere of brooding terror. This game is dark, suspenseful and twisted. Play this game alone, with the blinds closed, with the TV volume cranked and within minutes you'll be scolding the child in you that is getting up to turn the lights back on. -I'm not kidding, this game will scare you. This is an action/horror game with plenty of action, and enough horror for two games with some left over. Puzzles that will have you scratching your chin, and nightmares made flesh that will have you buying batteries for your night-light. This game takes you to the fog-clad streets of an ominously deserted suburbia, through the twisted paralell worlds of a town gone straight to hell. Here lies an oppurtunity, Nightmarish as it is profound, for you to explore the depths of darkness and maybe, however unlikely, survive. If you're not trembling too badly already and you think you're up for a test of both wits and guts, I strongly suggest you click ADD TO CART.
4876 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 LOVE IT , WORKS FINE. USE IT EVERY DAY . AND ITS A BEST BUY, IT DOSE WHAT I NEEDED IT TO DO !
Now, it's really cheap, and you have to buy it. Now!
9891 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If your like me & like arcade side scollers you have to get this game its really good you pick from 4 characters cpt. America iron man hawkeye & vision they all have long ranged specials that are sweet n standard punches its challenging yet beatable im gonna try & play 4 players soon idk if it will work but its fun with 2
849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my all time favorite games. The characters are likeable, with hilarious dialogue and an intriguing story. Also the music is some of the best I've ever heard in a video game. Also, the graphics and sound are great for N64. The controls are CRAZY precise for N64, and MAN is this game challenging! There are lots of secrets to uncover and special power ups to unlock. If only Microsoft hadn't ruined Rare...
Make it a little longer, I suppose.
But the magic! The combat! The ideas! The world of Grandia is simply amazing to watch and participate in and the possibilities for a character's development are almost unlimited! I eagerly await the sequel.
With the release of Nintendo's new revolutionary Wii system coming to America this November, along with the Playstation 3, we don't have to laugh at Sega's silly attempt to compete only to end up being the laughing stock of the world. Goodbye Sega.
2500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game to buy for people who have been using Nintendo for years and those who are new to the license. Smash Brothers is a fighting game where nintendo characters (Mario, Yoshi, Starfox, Pikachu, Samus, Kirby and more duke it out. There are four hidden characters, a few hidden features, and a hidden arena to be unlocked after a ton of gameplay. The sound is good and the graphics are good also. A fun game to both play and watch
oh, and she has a thing for cloud, for some reason. Speaking of that...
Easily one of the best re-vamped NES games, SUPER METROID is a must have for the SNES system. Really, check out this game and while you're at it, check out the other re-vamps for the SNES like MEGA MAN X, ZELDA : LINK TO THE PAST, MARIO ALL-STARS and SUPER CONTRA.
6599 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Anthology features the Playstation debut of Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI. FFVI first appeared on the SNES, but was known as Final Fantasy III at the time (it was the third Final Fantasy to make it to America, but the sixth overall in Japan). Final Fantasy V was only released in Japan and Anthology makes the American debut of the game. Ive been a long time fan of the Final Fantasy series, so I was extremely happy that I was now able to play these games on the Playstation. It was nice to have all of my Final Fantasy on the same system. There have been complaints about the loading time between battles and menu screens, and while the loading times are not great (or even good), they did not distract me at all while playing the games. These were just minor complaints for me.
Diddy Kong Racing
5675 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A very much played game in the house. I bought this as a gift for the 3 kids and they love it.
4) Easy figuring out what to do
7096 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Perfect Dark is GoldenEye's gameplay sequel. Not the story sequel. It involves more and more weapons than GoldenEye and a co-op campaign missions to help you if you get stuck. This game also has dialogues which means not only do they have the subtitles, the characters actually speak. GoldenEye doesn't. Plus the sound effects of footsteps make things more realistic. Very challenging and very fun. Beat GoldenEye first, then get this game and beat it.
-Great balance of gameplay. The action is tough, but not too hard to the point of impossibility. There is plenty to shoot at, and enough great weapons to do so with. I like the new idea of CHARGING UP BOSS WEAPONS. At the cost of more w-energy, a little flame attack can turn into a giant wave of flame pillars. Simply a phenominal idea.
Graphics = 9/10

4902 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who knew? I bought my copy of Suikoden II new, about 3 years ago, for thirty dollars. Now, apparently, I can sell it for three times this! Nonetheless, I continue to hold onto my (collector's?) copy. The game is THAT good.
5107 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awsome,,, Unfornitly for me I lost it I don't know wear but anyway
All in all, though, this is a five-star game worth all the money you spend.
Clear Green (Toys 'R' Us, Japan, 2000)
The Bad:
4438 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It functions, so its got that going for itself. It feels very cheap though. Very cheap and hollow. And very light. Noting like a real SNES controller. But I suppose, if you don't care about any of that stuff, it did work. I wouldn't recommend it, though.
All new music in the background with a few familiar elements. The music is better than in the original Diablo, but it's still there. It gets tedious, but it's easily tuned out. The sounds in the game have improved and are eerily realistic.
7470 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 this game sucks big time. it was boring and stupid.
+Very detailed cinematics and incredible looking pre-rendered backgrouns
very addictive gameplay
long enjoyable levels and misions
4809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Do you still have any 2 year old games on your hard-drive? Probably not. Most gamers delete games that are even a few months old to make way for new ones, or the game's simply sit there on our desktops - pretty little unused icons. This game though - Railroad Tycoon II, is a definite exception to this deleted/unused game rule.
The story line is complex and drawingly addictive. It's nothing to spend a half a day to play thru a relatively small portion of the game with its numerous quests-which provide you more 'experience' than the hacking coming out shortly. We'll have to wait and see.
Yes.
9630 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 SoF is by far the greatest 3D shooter to come out since Half-Life. No 3D shooter even comes close to beating it out except for the already mentioned Half-Life. The game plunges you right into the action, you don't have any long introduction or anything, you bust out into the sewers and blow the snot out of a New York subway gang.
Graphics: They're pretty standard really, I mean this is the Super Nintendo so they're not great, even for SNES standards. The FMV's of course are cool.
So in conclusion, at 20 dollars, you are buying a game beloved by Play Station and Dreamcat owners the world across. But it will drive the hardcore PC player insane. But even if this hypothetical PC owner can somehow make his way past the glareing downfalls of this game, he will enter the World of Resident Evil, a land where the dead walk and bullets are scarce.

Lastly, in response to some of the other reviews, I have to note a few things. First, there are plenty of ranged weapons, particularly crossbows for a character you can obtain about halfway through in an impressive "side" quest. Moreover, there are life indicators under the portrait for each NPC so it's easy to see when people are hurt. And finally, having played Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, Icewind Dale etc, the spell names, types, and effects in Planescape are totally awesome and in keeping with the surreal and twisted landscape. This is not a game to be missed.
3380 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An awsome game! The graphics are amazing, and what I found most impressive about this wonderful survival horror game is the fact that even the gameplay itself is like watching a movie. Just seeing Regina walk down a darkened cellar as things that tear and claw human flesh are active about, is an impressive cinamatic event and almost an FMW sequence within itself. The gameplay is fun, but at times a little frustrating, but almost every game is a little frustrating. A lot of gore, and although I'm not into gore too much, I still thought that this game was an awsome event, and it's something that you don't wanna miss out on. It's games like dino crisis which show off the wonderful and moneys worth of a playstation one, even if the system is considered a little outdated, which I don't think is true at all, since I believe that Playstation is still worth playing. Get the game, it is so incredibly fun that it is unbelievable.
5634 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but for this sort of game, bad opinions are rendered useless! This game is underrated for the wrong reasons (sadly FF9 is too). You'll find that most people who hate FF8 like FF7. This is not true for all but from what I have seen, most. And some of them can't even get the damn character's name right or played the whole game through, but still giving a review. I have heard this is a romance game. Actually, FF10 was the most romantic one. Play it over if you don't believe me. I have beat FF7 including all the other boring milked parts. I can honestly say, "IT WAS NOT AS HALF AS GOOD AS 8!!!" Don't get wrong, FF7 was great but as I easily breezed through it on first try without training, I realized that it was no challenge. The storyline didn't have me screaming for more (just being honest). After everything I heard about FF7, I had my hopes up high. They were dropped when I discovered that there was nothing special about this game when I already beat FF8. And still I am waiting for a Final Fantasy that can match this one. The only thing keeping my interest in FF7 was Sephiroth and Vincent. Vincent actually was the only lead character I played with when discovering him in Sephiroth's mansion after he set it aflame. Oh and this was when Cloud was loosing himself. So we not only lost him but Tifa for a short while too. I could give so many reasons why FF8 is one of the best RPGs out there but of course there will always be someone you can't please.
When the Playstation first started out, one of the first games to put the system on the map was Capcom's first foray into survival horror games, Resident Evil. Aside from the earlier series Alone In The Dark, Resident Evil was the first game of its kind to really bring the survival horror genre to life, complete with various puzzles and zombie blasting action. Since RE1 managed to build up a solid fanbase, Capcom was soon called to make a sequel the following year. Initially, they had 60% of the game completed and it was supposed to be released in early 97, but the creators weren't satisfied with the way it was going, saying that "it needed a huge overhaul". So the original plans were scrapped, forcing the fans to wait longer. But come early 1998, the wait was well worth it when Capcom unleashed the new and improved sequel, THE must-own PSX game of 98.
NOTE: in this MasterPiece Edition there is a Bug in the [Mechanical Era]: you can not get to connect to 2 of the Rotating Fortress positions, this causes you to be able to find only 2 of the 4 Symbols Code you need to enter to get back home... anyway: once you have 2 of the Digits and you have only 2 missing... it's just a matter of keep trying progressively one by one and you can easily catch the solution!
The gameplay.......You're a moron if You acctually think I'm gonna go into that since we already no how incredible the game is....Nuff' said
The stages and backgrounds seem cramped and you don't get the feel of exploration you did in the previous game. The cars all stay pretty close to you, so you don't do much searching for opponents on the other end of stages. Gone are the fun elements of Antarctica falling to pieces or environmental dangers such as Moscow or the ruins of Latin America surrounded by lava. Instead you get Egypt, The North Pole, Washington DC, London and Tokyo. None of which is very exciting. I found the background boring and uninspiring.
4914 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works just fine. So far I haven't had any issues with the product. Most likely I'll be buying two more to complete my set.
- Soul Caliber 2
The reason is simple. This one is fun! the puzzles are not needlessly obtuse, and you don't have to wander endlessly, backtrack, turn up the brightness, and look in nonsensical places for the solution to problems you can't even spot right away!
3567 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is simply breathtaking, when it first came out it was so ahead of it's time some didn't beleve it could to what it was advertised to do. Unfortunetly it is becoming obsolete, but it was a fanaly worthy of Sega. The DreamCast came out before the N64, but it is almost as capible as the GC, and it rivals the PS2.
Puzzles are a central (albeit quizzical) part of Resident Evil's gameplay. In keeping with the survival elements, some doors are locked; to pass through them, the player must find the key. This involves searching room-to-room around the mansion, and solving the occasional puzzle. These elements are definitely well-aligned with the gameplay, but from a strictly survival perspective, some puzzles fit the scheme better than others.
7 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played the old anno 1701 AND 1503. this game looks great but is more complex than the previous versions of the game. I found a lot of things lacking such as the sources of power and an inability to store energy with batteries or regenertive fuel cells as buildings in the game need power. Trade is about the same. My main beef with this it requires an internet connection. Other than that it has wonderful artistry and graphics. It is the same as anno 1701 but set in a future world where global warmming as flood the land and resource scarcity has sent human kind to look to the deep ocean for valuable minerals. I recoment the deep ocean expansion or complete if you get this. I found the ai instructor a little corny but other than that the game has some real polish. I wrote my 2 cents worth on suggestions on anno 2070 wiki and you can read 3 pages on that for game ideas I had.
9634 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When the demo of thi game came out I was pumped. Then i playedthe demo, a bit dissapointed. So I had a few extra bucks to spend so Ibought SoF. Was I dissapointed? HECK NO!This game is cutting edge technology! Using an upgraded version of the QuakeIII engine, Ghoul, it gives the most splended graphics any game has had so far. There are many weapons. A lot of weapons you must actually slavage off the battlefield. Most weapons deliver a massive punch, and some dont. Each one is very fun to play around with esspecially the Heavy Machine Gun (If you've played the demo and seen the cut scene, the soldiers dressed in black have them). Multiplayer isn't anything special, and it shouldn't really interest anyone. One thing I found rather interesting about this game is that when you have a feeling that you are going to beat the game, some guy coms up with more objectives and you go on some more suicide missions. Overall this game is a super game and it should se the benchmark for ANY FPSs coming out in the near and far future. END
It starts out quite easy but gets rather hard towards the end. You'll be screaming with anger in the rockfall and aircraft levels. However, the bad guys still do nothing but wait for you to kill them and the worst thing for you is simply falling down bottomless pits.
Overall: 5 stars: Only problems are: random battles can get anoying, you can't skip cutscenes(I guess that's not too bad but the movie at the begining I wish you could skip atleast),takes too long after birth or breeding for a chocobo to be able to breed again.
In the same respect, the game is huge. Once you get past a certain stage, the entire world is left before you, and you can go where you want, and do what you want, without having to stay within the confines of your particular storyline. Some people may like this freedom, but I found it annoying! I love the idea of being able to explore the world on my own, but I never had a sense of purpose throughout the game. I never really knew where to go next, and every time I went to a new city I just felt like I was going around in circles and not making any progress.
611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game falls into my categories as one of the best games ever. I have played many, many games in my day and haven't seen one quite like this. Great controls, exciting gameplay, secrets, many weapons, what more could you ask for?
4648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was fun, still in perfect condition.
1135 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a game you could fall in love with. When I first played it (immediatly after it came out) I was so engrossed and enchanted with it that it was like the real world disappeared and there was just me and the game. This never happened with me with a video game before. The scenery is breathtaking and some of the music scores are beautiful, although I think the music in the first forest dungeon as an adult is absolutely creepy! The dungeons are puzzling at times but not too hard, and the bosses are challenging enough you may have to try them several times, but don't worry you can eventually beat them. The game has a built in save feature so you don't need a memory card and you can save anywhere in the game, don't have to wait for any specific save point, that is real nice.
With the new upgrades Guardians become less a threat than they previously were to Terrans, and Ultralisk's are muuuch more useful.
The puzzles can be frustrating. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the bottling room on the facility level.
6132 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of the best video game systems ever made...
6945 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well I didn't think it could be done, but somehow the makers of the Genesis version of Aladdin delivered with an AMAZINGLY beautiful looking game with incredibly smooth and vibrant animations. It's really shocked. I was led to believe only the Super NES could pull off such brilliant graphics, gameplay and colorful animations but I stand corrected. I have to tip my hat here- the Genesis version of Aladdin is pure awesomeness. A close resemblance to the actual Disney movie as crazy as that is to believe. For an hours worth of entertainment, this is a must buy for kids and adults alike.
8046 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sure, the graphics can be corny, but hey the game itself is awesome. You don't have much choice on characters, having to have 4 perminant(4 sword characters) and 2 extra(non-sword characters). Am I spoiling? Maybe not.
8508 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of my favorite classic games and I was thrilled to find a copy. Now I can enjoy the nostalgia all over again!
Unlike too many games today, Myst brilliantly evokes a sense of wonder and mystery. When you start the game, you're just thrown into a new world with no explanation. You are left to explore and discover. There is a story with shocking twists, but the story depends upon your involvement and choices, not simply handed to you.
7566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best game? I think very possible!!! Fett is a little weak! Ig88 is a bum! The game arrived fast and worked great (Didn't have to do the wind tunnel to the connections!)

944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Simply the best single player RPG i have ever played!!!! From start to finish you will not be dissapointed,,, Please if u get the chance go after majores mask its also a great game..
As with all fighting games, you have to get used to the violence. The characters are bashing each other with some rather nasty moves - and it doesn't necessarily stop when one person is defeated. I've seen my character kicked to the ground, the game announce my defeat, and then the enemy throw in a final, gratuitous kick. It's very discouraging.
7287 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent follow-up to Goldeneye. As critics and gamers alike have said before, everything you thought was missing from Goldeneye is in Perfect Dark. The attention to detail surpasses that of Goldeneye by far, and the gameplay (with the help of the RAM Expansion of course) is twice as smooth.
4356 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're looking for a good strategy game, look no further. Simply put, this is one of the top 5 real time strategy games ever made!!!
7946 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game, released in late 1996, was quite possibly the last shock of life for the SNES and the 16-bit era. I spent the better half of my 2nd grade year playing this game to death ignoring my new N64 and despite remembering it as a respectable game, it also left me wanting something different and more exciting by the time it was all over. While it certainly doesn't match the original appeal of the first game or the exciting advancements of Diddy's Kong Quest, this is still a classic worthy of 5 stars in its own right. Since the first two games were utter masterpieces, I will inordinately spend most of this review emphasizing the games flaws rather than its strengths because any good quality it has can be experienced in the first two games alone. There were several mistakes the developers made while composing this game's concept, music, setting, and characters in addition to other things that make it seem like they could have improvised a better final product if they just didn't go wrong somewhere in the process. The first immediate change you will notice is that neither Donkey Kong nor Diddy Kong are playable characters this time around. As the storyline implies, they've both taken a subtlety announced fishing vacation in the Northern Kremisphere and are by consequence kidnapped by Baron K. Roolenstien, a new alias and disguise of King K. Rool. Roolenstien is harnessing Donkey Kong's strength to harness a power source called Kaos.
26 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I still haven't figured this one out. Did everything as instructed but the game never installed. Strange. Since I don't like to rate on something I couldn't get to work, I'll just say that I didn't like it because I couldn't get it to work :P For those that did manage to get it installed, I'm sure it's a great game. I had the first Dirt and it was a scream! Too bad this one bombed. Maybe a bad disc...
The game has an interesting variety of units and spells, and a particularly nice selection of artifacts that you can find in dungeons and such.
8905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Metroid is one of my favorite SNES games of all time. You first start off in a Space Station to rescue the baby Metroid that was from Metroid 2, but you're not able to because Ridley escapes with the baby Metroid to Planet Zebes. Once again you have to go to Planet Zebes and beat the Space Pirates again, but the terrain of Zebes has changed quite a bit from the original game. Mother Brain, Kraid and Ridley are back as well as some new main bosses arrive. Before reaching the newly revived Mother Brain, in the newly built Torrian (to the left of the original escape tunnel of the old Torrian)you have to beat Kraid, Ridley and the other two main bosses. In the room where you enter the New Torrian there are big stone statues in the shape of the main bosses you have to fight that sit atop the entrance to the New Torrian. After beating each boss the spirit of the boss you have beaten comes out of the statues eyes and fly's away.

7553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The save feature worked without a problem and it arrived as expected. It runs smoothly and my son is satisfied with the product. "It is not as high intensity as is today's games, but he still likes it. Battle for Naboo or Rouge Squadron came out later and they surpassed this one because of better ship design and better flying mechanics. But is still a good game for its creativity of traveling on foot and in the air. This is the first level - 3D version, of the Battle of Hoth from Empire Strikes Back. episode 5 of Starwars."
~THE CAST~
9561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this one when I was a young adult. One of the best Rpg's I've ever owned, I still remember it well.
Things I like about Rebellion:
The plot is great. With the whole chao processing boss levels and the plot with Eggman. This just about the best Sonic game ever. I thought Sonic 2 was great...THIS IS THE BEST!
Repetitive play. Within any one character type (Barbarian, Amazon, Sorceress, Necromancer or Paladin) once you've gotten all the skills, everything is pretty much the same. It gets boring after a while and you either start a new character or stop playing altogether.
The graphics are a nice step forward from earlier RPG platforms including: NES, SNES, Sega, etc.
7940 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the bests of Zelda!!! The graphics are stunning!!! (For its day) The gameplay is awesome!! You go through 11 dugeons total!!! Amazing!!! It took me 2 years to get about as far as ready to beat Ganon! I'm still trying to beat him up... Anyway, if you like RPGS, run for this one!!!
One word of warning, although there is no blatant nudity, there is blood, profanity, and some implied sexuality. This isn't a game for the kiddies.
5937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a freakin fun game I've been playing it for a couple years now and I'm still not bored. The expansion set is better but this is a once in a life time game!!!
216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great buy. Works just as well as the Sony ones at a lot better price. Would definitely recommend and order again.
Real Car fisics
7798 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here we go! Straight outta my childhood.
7357 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My son loved this game.
.............socks
Overall, this game is fun, and gives a whole new depth to the long-running series. But as good as this is, "Castlevania: SOTN" for Playstation is much better.
Boss battles 10/10
4821 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played warcraft 2 four years ago, and found it to be one of the most engrossing and enjoyable RTS games, alongside Age of Empires.
Graphically speaking, it looks good. It is far from flashy, but it looked quite smooth. Try flying into clouds and you'll see...
- Graphics looked pretty dated
Overall (score 10/10): NOTE this score is not an average, it's my subjective overall score. I might have given this game a "8" instead of a "10" if I had reviewed it when I first bought it, but now that I've played so many different RPGs over the years I realize what a treasure I really have in FF8. This game really is awesome and I recommend it to all fans of RPGs.
Later after deleting the earlier data I played through the game and unlocked jiggly puff. The next time I tried it was captain falcon. After that it was no one because I made a mistake. Later I went online to this link and it helped me get everything. It's very true info. There's even a new level (Mushroom Kingdom Classic.) I hope it helps you :)
2908 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am sooo frickin' happy to have the black label version of this awesome game! You cannot go wrong with buying a game with a bad case, as it's easy to replace. Like, for instance, FF7 and FF8 use the backs of a CD case, which makes it extremely easy to freshen up your game.
Although some people might say "been there shot that" to RE3, they should still play it due to the new challenging puzzles the game has to offer. The weirdest thing in the game is that it's more of a prequel than a sequel. The game takes place 24 hours before the 2nd Resident Evil. It starts out with zombies attacking RPD members and ends up with all of the RPD officers dead, while there are still tons of zombies on the loose. You will eventually meet up with Barry from the first RE too. Now for those of you who find the Resident Evil series a little too hard, you'll be happy to know that when starting Resident Evil 3 and picking easy mode, you start out with an unlimited number of Ink Ribbons, and a hefty amount of ammo. You just have to get in the office room at the very beginning of the game. You will also come across some very familiar places in RE 3. Like the RPD conference room in RE2, and the RPD station it's self. Believe me this is by far one of the finest moments of the PSX, and is the best Resident Evil game ever (even better than Code Veronica for the DC). The game also features tons of dialogue, which most of takes place during an FMV sequence. Your main goal is to stop Nemesis who is basically the granddaddy of all the Zombies.
The best thing, by far, about Donkey Kong Country 2 are the level designs. No level ever, at any point, feels too similar to another level. And as you progress they are always going to throw in new challenges along the way. For instance, everything in the first area of the game is pretty basic stuff. But as you get further you'll have to do things such as jumping on a seals back to keep the water from turning into lava. This seems basic, but Donkey Kong Country 2 never hesitates to change something up. In another level with the seal he actually freezes the water into ice to provide you with solid footing. There are quite a few unique challenges. in one level you've got to keep climbing as the water rises. You might think you can go in, but there's a piranha that will kill you otherwise. You need to stay out of the water, but also keep climbing so as not to get caught in the water. There are other unique surprises as well, but it is best not to spoil them for those who have yet to play. The only thing worth saying is that every level is unique.
4409 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes it is true! despite being released way back in, what was it, 1998? Red Baron 3D remains among the top tier of combat flight sims.
7415 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Me and my Sons wore this game out when it first came out. My Wife even enjoyed the game as much as she and my Mother loved Yoshi's Cookie on the Original Nintendo. This game has some great and cool graphics and a few challenging levels. I played with my Grandson earlier in the week just to see how much I remembered,this game is still and may well be one of the best games ever made for the N64. Yoshi was always my Fav and is my Grandsons also. You have the ability to choose which color Yoshi you want when you start a level,however if your Yoshi dies, you get to see him carried away to Bowser's castle. You can at that point choose another Yoshi and begin again. There are two colors that have more abilities than the others, but you have to get through a level first. Then theres some tricks and secrets hidden that you must find in order to use them. You even get to ride on a snake of sorts as it takes you into the clouds,you must jump onto a cloud or two until you reach another snake. The game is so much fun and it still keeps you entertained and stuck to your seat. My Grandson is occupied for hours playing as I once was. There are challenges that are allot of fun also, if you win a challenge and collect all the items that you must carry across the finish line,you get surprises and a Giant heart. We used to have tournaments amongst family members to see how many we could get across the finish line. Like I said above hours of fun and entertainment for everyone.
4758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very good for RPG'ers, and D&D players. The character classes are from D&D as well. This is basically AD&D made into a computer game that you can play on your computer (no duh). The combat is simple enough for anyone, and looks cool, as well. The meat of the game is adventuring and completing quests. All during this time your being submersed in a complex and interesting story line that evolves every new area you walk into, or with every person you talk to. The FMV sequences are no where near competition to the Diablo II ones (which, btw, are the best FMV sequences on the game market as of Jan 2001 and counting), but they tell the story in vivid 3D. The on-screen graphics are awesome as well, although in one of the towns, you feel like your falling in your chair because of the way the characters are positioned on the screen relative to the surroundings. The actual roleplaying is surberb. Not only are you made in deep detail, you can control up to 5 other NPC's in your party for a total of 6 people. With a large variety of spells, weapons, magic items, and monsters, you'll be busy for well over the estimated 100 hours of gameplay. If your an experienced RPG'er, this game is a must-have because of it's awesome content. If your an AD&D player, be warned that this game is based on 2nd Ed rules, but otherwise, GET THE GAME! If your new to RPG's in general, get this and Diablo, playing Diablo first so you can learn all the terms and character development. It will really teach you how to play RPG's. Than move on to Baldur's Gate (that is, if you haven't already gotten hooked to Diablo :-)
5128 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Since I first bought this game, I've gone through three computers - a PII, a PIII, and a P4. Now I'm still playing this classic on my dual-core, and its just as fun as ever.
great final fantasy game and a piece of gaming history must have for all fans and collectors
7269 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its a good game. It's not that hard until the levels late in the game (i.e. diamond sands) and it is fairly addictive. It is very fun but gets tedious if you get stuck in a harder level. Also, Backlash is rather hard to control even with practice.
4259 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is such a great game. I love every minute of it! I just can't go on it for five minutes: it turns into five hours!
1224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it
(Also make sure to look out for its sister game, Perfect Dark, which is also on the N64, following the same controls, and very similar weapon uses.)
1923 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this product came in on time if not earlier. item was descibed exactly as it was in the description. thanks.
906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have never played anything like this since. Everything from Sly Racoon, to Ratchet and Clank, owe it to this.
Sound: Comanche 3 for DOS was 100% Dolby Surround - not bad for a DOS game from 1996. Comanche Gold's sound, however, is limited only by what kind of sound system you have connected to your PC. Comanche Gold also boasts the most realistic in-game dialog sequences you're gonna hear. In-game dialog is an area where nearly every game I've ever heard fails miserably, with the cheesiest sounding scripts ever written that are read in the dumbest, most unrealistic way possible. That's the NORM in the gaming world. The Comanche series, however - as well as every other Nova Logic game - gets it right.
2239 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 (Note: I'm writing this for the Expansion Pak produced by Tomee. These third party expansion paks seem to hover together in the same listing. So just keep that in mind if you go taking my advice.)
2733 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games ever to come out on a console system! The characters, the anime's, and the simple and easy to learn battle system. There are many anime sequences with dialouge, and they are FUNNY. The battle system is a simple turn based combat which can be very amusing. The plot is great but the graphics are old saturn style but still rock. This game is worth your money.
3120 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played thousands of games, spent countless hours on them. I have played the best with titles such as Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and I have played some of the worst like TOtal Recall. However throughout all the games that I have played only one stands out as the number one game of all time. That title is Final Fantasy 7.
3942 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 House of the Dead (the arcade) is the reason I bought a DreamCast. I played it at a local movie theater about 2 months ago and realized and I wanted it at home. I did a little research and found out that not only was a home version out, it was very affordable and a perfect arcade port.
Play as the overwhelming Zerg, powerful Humans, or cunning Protoss
I mostly fly fighters. I think the best combat flight sim (for graphics and flight characteristics) currently on the market is IL-2 Sturmovik. Jane's WWII Fighters and
- A non-liner 2D side scrolling action RPG
This game, along with MM-6 and MM-8 are pretty much in the same format with a few tweaks. That is fine with me. I have become so engrossed it them that I have played all three of them at least three times each. There is no other game that even comes close.
Zelda was my introduction to RPG's and what an introduction it was.
Despite the two shortcomings I just mentioned, Sonic the Hedgehog has earned its place as a classic in the videogame world. It's been re-issued countless times over the years, so you can get it bundled with other Sonic/Sega Genesis games or for you PC gamers out there, downloadable purchases on Steam (or you may dust off your Genesis and Sonic cartridge to play this one again).
9856 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sega Rally 2 is a perfect conversion of the arcade game on the Dreamcast, and there's also plenty of extras to keep you busy. Additional tracks, more cars to choose from, and the ability to customize your selected car add replay value. Keep in mind however, that Sega Rally 2 was originally designed with arcade play in mind. That means that it never approaches the depth of Sony's Gran Turismo games, and it's geared torward those who just like to pick up the controller and go. My only gripe is with the ridiculous difficulty of the game in the 10 year races mode. In some of the later tracks, you have to execute the race flawlessly in order to even get a decent rank. This gets extremely annoying, because you have to beat them in order to unlock all of the cars. Oh yeah, there's also some slowdown here and there. The game seems to switch framerate speeds in the middle of the action, but this can be fixed considerably with the 60 fps code (it removes effects like mud and water sprays to boost the game speed). If you are waiting for a racer with alot of depth to come out on the Dreamcast, you may want to pass this one up. If you just want a quick racing fix though, Sega Rally 2 should be enough to satisfy you.
2795 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like the top and first reviewer said, this game is not for everyone. It is almost not a 'game' at all. Everything is in first person as 'you' are moving around the area talking to the very few people you encounter, some nice, some not. The visuals are STUNNING! and the music is just as beautiful. I played many hours at a time and while a lot of the game is crazy difficult (don't get me started on the D'ni numbers) it is still a lot of fun. Let me repeat: the puzzles in this game are HARD they are time consuming, and they seem not to make sense.
The final monster at the end is some kind of big ugly rat thing. An interesting new character.
Overall I rate this game a 5 out of 5 for its creativity, entertainment, good use of graphics, and the sound quality.
To make your hunt easier, you can equip items and equipment such as camoflage, scent reducing chemicals, and a very handy radar. Bear in mind though, that using the equipment will lower your score (you get points by killing or sedating your target dinosaurs).
Overall, Tekken deserves a place in your PSX collection, right next to 2 and 3. You won't play it often because Tekken 2 covers all of those bases and more. So to me, at least, this game is merely a collection piece.
When I received it in the mail and upon inspection, it was dirty on the inside and had 3 dead bugs inside.
By the time 1993 came around, the NES was almost dead and everyone's favorite series' of games had to be ported over to the then-next-generation system, the SNES. Many companies pulled it off quite nicely with new-port sequels of games like Mario, Castlevania, Metroid, and others. Obviously, Capcom heeded the calls of their devoted fans and decided to give their most successful series an innovative upgrade, and a new darker look. Thus the Mega Man X series was created. Although a bit cartoony looking (compared to say, X3 and X4), it took the MM series to a whole new level in terms of story, gameplay, and features. Well, here's my synopsis:
Replayability - It's Hitman. What did you expect? You can go back and replay missions over and over to try for a cleaner, quicker kill or just fly right through it in a weekend like I did.
2) Can't choose your own plane right off the bat. You have to use whatever they tell you.
Super Mario 3 is great, but Mario World improved some faults and added better things that made this game more superior:
Graphics: Age has hit these Rare FPS games like a ton of bricks, but they were quite nice at the time of release. Even now, Perfect Dark has moments of visual niceties. The Carrington Institute, the Datadyne level, the Submarine level, and the one where you're on the alien craft all look pretty decent even now. The plane crash level, alas... I don't think it looked good then. :P Outside of those highs and lows, you've got your standard N64 quality graphics, which have a certain charm about them to us retro gamer types.
The graphics for the game have aged very well, with one exception - faces on the characters. They basically look blocky, and polygon counts for enemies are generally low. Other than that, the environments in the game are very convincing and immersive. Rooms are usually dark, but filled with computer consoles and gizmos that flash and beep.
Your character (hilarious and lovable Manny Calavera) is already...dead when you start. In fact he has been dead for some time, stuck in limbo, trying to pay his way to a better afterlife by selling tickets to other souls on their way to paradise. Guess what: corruption is not limited just to this world. And where there is corruption, there is oppression; and where there is oppression, there is always a revolution brewing...
Well Tomb Raider 3 is a good example. This is a huge game with a lot of 3D explosions and gunfire and lots of jumping. Also if you have something against people and animals, then you won't be dissappointed either.
Vincent: He's a shapeshifting vampire and he's kinda sad about it.
because this is on Gameboy (before Color) the graphics are dull, plain, boring. However after getting past that you have a very deep, very fun, and very addicting game. Catching 151 of the creatures (151 through either gameshark or Pokemon Conventions) and in these cases it is a little difficult to put the game down.
4265 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got starcraft buy looking at it, thought it was interesting, and bought it. It's been one of my favorite games ever (a major rival is Perfect Dark).My favorite spiecies is the Zerg. I like their mass-production way of battle. The Terrans are human, and my second favorite. They have fairly-skilled units at a fair price. The Protoss are hard to use for me, mostly because I go overbord with production of their highly priced units. The battlefields are awsome, the missions intereseting and hard, and the game is very addictive. Were it not you would fall asleep, you could play non-stop (I had to eat). The game is a great bargian...
If you like DKC then get the second one..It's got all the same of 1 but with some some new stuff mixed with it...This is a GREAT game!
Have a Gamecube? Definetely buy Mario Kart: Double Dash for Gamecube.
The PROS: Rare still manages to pump out a fun game and everything works. While it's still more of the same experience, it's still worth doing it again. The new world is viewed from an overhead perspective and gives a preview to the gorgeous graphics and subtle effects. The music is all new and sets the mood while the controls are exactly same as they have been with DKC and DKC2. The game is pretty hard so it will take you awhile to find all the secrets.
I have yet to find a driving simulator that does as much as THIS game. The camera angles rock, you can even get a far away view, the cars are realistic, the races challenging and the license tests are excellent.
- Beyond Oasis
There were new monsters in this game; like the big alligator in the sewers, the lickers, plant zombies that spat venom at you, and of course (unlike in the first game), you now have women zombies.
How about the graphics...probably the best I've seen for the SNES; the paralax scrolling is maginificent. On pirate ship levels, the water in the background is 3-dimensional and scrolls at different paces. The graphics are very clear and vivid, and really bring out the sharpness in the game. This game has adopted the theme of pirates; remember all the kremlings in DKC 1? Now they all have pirate clothing and peglegs and stuff.
3414 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks to VGA to HDMI cables for newer TVs, free games via Isos online (google it), emulators that allow you to play hundreds of SNES and NES games (NesterDC and SNES4ALL v2), this system is one of my all-time favorites. Don't pay exorbitant prices for retro games on used 15 year old CDs (25+ year carts), buy a Dreamcast; an aptly named product more so today than 15 years ago.
The entire game takes place on a huge spaceship 67 trillion miles from Earth. When I say huge, I mean huge. The ship has gigantic areas for engineering, medical treatment, crew quarters, a command center, and an athletic facility. There is even a virtual sex booth in a shopping mall. You really get the feeling that you are walking around a ship that was once inhabited by thousands of busy crew members. I say "once", because something has gone terribly wrong, and it is up to you to find out what has happened, and escape with your life.

From Kyle's home on Sulon it's off to the city of Baron's Hed where Kyle must now go in order to learn the location of the Lost Valley of the Jedi. It is also here that he must battle the first of the Dark Jedi, a young man named Yun who is all to eager to please his dark master. From there Kyle makes his way onboard a freighter bound for the planet with the Valley and where he must also battle Gorc and Pic-dark twins of the Force. And again LucasArts must be praised for sheer perfection with which the excuted lightsaber dueling in a first person view game. Players can parry attacks while performing slick and flashy maneuvers on their own.
The thing that REALLY amazes me about the Playstation version of Quake II is that, when you go around corners or run down a hallway, the graphics on the ceiling, floor or side of a wall NEVER turn choppy or glitchy. NEVER. I'm serious. We're talking about an old Playstation game here where the framerate and graphics consistently hold up and remain silky smooth, like homemade caramel. Everything remains firmly intact. This is truly amazing. Excellent job and a HUGE thank you to all the people who created this game. They understood that controlling a game and not having the graphics fall apart while running around shooting is the most important aspect of a game. Not just first-person shooters either- ANY kind of game.
And so many more.
6488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my kids loved it
With that said this by far has the best ending out of the 4 of them (MGS4 comes really close) Story wise this is also the best of them (ALL 4 have a good story in there own right) If you haven't picked this up yet or find the price to be too high for an older game get the MGS:Essential Collection,you get the first 3 MGS's for $30,but act quick as they do tend to sell out rather fast!!
5177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a gamer, I play plenty of games each year. Some are good, few are great, many are mediocre. Almost none live up to the standard that this game has created. I played this game for the first time this year, and it beats out everything else I've played - I just can't put it down! I am only about 5 hours in and haven't even reached the 2nd disc yet, but I feel I've played enough to give a fair judgement of the game and its mechanics.
7469 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 With four characters to choose from, you can get your race on! I've felt very strongly for a couple of the Nintendo 64 racing games and they are as follows:
437 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was the only Breath of Fire game I've beaten. But I must say that it was fun. The story and side quests kept me going.
20-30 tries on the final boss, but I have defeated him, and its worth it for the ending! The graphics have aged very well,
It's pretty massive. You can do some Temples in different orders than you did your first time through, or you can use different items to progress through the Temples. I summed it up in a sentence, but there's hundreds of hours of replay potential there in just finding all of OoT's possible variations.
4559 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After getting rid of Playstation, I became nostalgic about the game and decided to re-buy the game! Truly the ORIGINAL Tony Hawk game cannot be beat! Great classic from the late 90s! I would recommend this game to any gamer!

3714 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i think that so2 is one of the most enjoyable experience on the playstation.it has a unique skill system,very lovable charcters,interesting story,nice graphics..i love it and i'm still playing it till now.perhaps the worst thing about the game(although it's not that bad and some like challenges)is the dungeons ,sometimes they seem a bit long and altough i like battling especially with fighters..it can be a little bit tiring sometimes.so I recommend using the gameshark code for saving anywhere and beating the game will be a piece o cake^_^
All in all, if you have a good computer, it is definitely a great game to purchase, regardless of if you're a Star Trek fan or not.
Oh yeah and for a little twisted fun try removing a piece of rollercoaster track in the middle of the ride! hehe
They work well enough. You don't have the full on camera control that some of the later Zelda games give you, but personally, I never found it all that essential to the process.

8128 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in the day, for a short time our cable company offered something called Sega Channel. It offered unlimited access to a new set of Sega games each month. One day while checking out the RPG section I discovered Shadowrun. I found it creepy and mysterious compared to the other games of the day like Ecco the Dolphin. Instantly I was hooked and eager to complete the game.
7970 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Doesn't match the pic and I don't remember any mention of this by the seller, Again European version. I'm sure it would work on a European SNES.
Survival Mode
Graphics: Where does one start on the graphics? As far as the level of detail and the amount of destruction available, it is indeed a very good game. Games of this nature tend to over simplified with little or no detail in the buildings and surrounding terrain. Activision programmers spent a lot of time on the details in the game, I wish they spent the same amount of time on the game's engine. The game engine plays like a first generation game. There is such an incredible amount of popping, crazing, stretching, and disappearing polygons, any good programmer should have never allowed this kind of thing to even leave his development PC. For those out of the loop I'll define the problems.
2426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my favorite game of all time. The game worked perfectly too.
8334 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Although this game has different playability than Risk 1 and good graphics, it is the cheatenist game I've ever played, it is nigh impossible to win these games, except only occasionally, and by then you are too worn out from trying to win to enjoy it. I would not bother with it, stick with Risk 1, the original. I'm an old risk player from way back, I used to play the board game with my brother in law many years ago, and I have the pc version of original Risk,and even though that game cheats as do all computer games, it's not near half as bad as risk 2.
Music:
That's Quake III.
539 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have had this game since it came out. too many people see this as a bad/old game, but i remember when this first came out...it was revolutionary. this was the ORIGINAL game to use the engine, while attitude was a sequel, and ECW just plain copied it. If you have a choice, though, you should buy it's sequel, attitude.

8141 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For my birthday I got all three gex games. I got gex which is this game, Gex: Enter the gecko, and Gex3: Deep cover gecko. I decided to play this game first. And I loved it, this game might be old but it is fun and interesting. Well, not as fun as Gex: Enter the gecko. Oh yeah and also this game is not a 3D game like Gex2 and 3, it is a side scrolling game. For now I only went up to the cartoon world. This game is about a gecko named gex and he has been sucked into the media dimension. Rez a robot that is in the media dimension decided to suck gex in his own t.v. What u have to do is u have to kill t.v. by collecting all the remotes in the game. And also while u play this game u will hear funny one-liners from gex, some of them have bad words in it, but thats ok. I have a five year old brother and even he loves this game. This game is good for the whole family. If u buy and play this game u will see what I mean. Oh yeah and if u have time go buy Gex: Enter the gecko it is a very cool and fun game as well.
8-way D-pad
Most of the game is traveling around the world chasing the big bad while avoiding or fighting the other big bad (shrinra) and unraveling the past.
The critical item to note here is that the majority of the game is spent choosing your team, equiping them properly and then planning out the raid. This is not Syphon Filter where you jump into a room of bad guys and blaze away. You can be killed in a single shot. Once the action begins, you can play any one of the raid team that is engaging the enemy, otherwise the sophisticated computer AI will guide them according to your plans.
3853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was one of the many who bought Dreamcast on the day it was released and along with the system I also bought four games: NFL 2K, Ready to Rumble Boxing, SoulCaliber, and House of the Dead 2. About a month later I got NBA 2K, my expectations were high because NFL 2K was so good. Well, I have to tell you, I've had this game for over a year now and I still can't stop playing it. Everything about NBA 2K is so accurate and well presented that I keep coming back for more. The gameplay is phenomenal, so life like that you sometimes feel as if your watching a game on tv rather than playing it. There are also great options, including season mode, trades, fantasy drafts, and create a player modes. The only negative thing I can say about this game is that in almost every game a player gets injured which is annoying. But other than that, this game has great replay value and is a great addition to any Sega Dreamcast collection.
Never going to regret buying this game :)
Seriously though, this game has incredible sound and has never been surpassed by any action game to date.
The control was spot on.
2352 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Cartridge was busted wouldnt play. Got my money back at least
Cons
I think I'm better off playing puzzle games online for free...
Callisto
680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was very dubious when I started playing Grim Fandango. An adventure game with polygons? And the SCUMM menu interface system that was in every single past Lucasarts adventure game was gone? But I gave it a try. Thank goodness I did.
This review is about the Dreamcast and it IS a worthy machine no matter what anybody says about it. The problem (and why it receives 4 stars) is that the majority of games are absolute junk. (I have specific tastes and Sega just doesn't quite cater... BUT, that's not a bad deal!)
Replay Value 8/10
1475 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 game was good
IF this game had sound and graphics, and some better storyline, this would be in the top 20 games of all time!
excelent music
if you don't have sonic the hedgehog, you do't have a genesis. simple as that.
5583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 playing it right now, and i love it to death.
Fortunately, Pandemic have obviously learned from their mistakes. Dark Reign 2 isn't the crash-prone mess that BZ2 was. In fact, it's the only 3D-accelerated game that can be played straight out of the box - no patches required. So the extra months of quality testing were definitely worthwhile.
353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought a Gameboy Micro here on Amazon. It didn't come with a charging cable. So in a pinch I ordered one of these. It was to my house within 48 hours and it works great!!! This product does not work with Gameboy Advance or Advance SP, or the Nintendo DS/DS Lite/3DS/2DS lines. This is specfically for the GBMicro
What can I say, I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I'm kicking myself for not having playing it in 1999/2000. On a P4 3ghz, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro on WinXP the game runs perfectly. The version available from Atari does not need any patching, they're already applied.
Just to let you know, this game can be purchased for the PS2 and GC, with some added cutscenes in those versions. However, for me, having the original Dreamcast feel is where it's at. If you own a Dreamcast, or any console that carries this game, go for it!
This is a really cute and classic Gameboy game. I love it.
The only problem I had was that the controller that came with it didn't work very well, so I brought anothher one, and we've been playing ever since.
UT, Half-life and Quake3 just don't have the feel that Q2 does. While Q3's graphics may be a little better, the actual playability is quite annoying [all of the jumping around that goes on] and there hasnt' been nearly the support for Q3, UT or Half Life on the net. The main reason for this: None of these games can compete across the board with Q2.
An incredible amount of variety.
1191 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Disc was scratched and won't play properly on my son's PS3.
1118 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games I have ever played. I love the gameplay. It was easy to control the character. I also enjoyed how it wasn't a very easy game. When a game is challenging, I play it more and more. In fact, I still play this game today. Very good game.
1048 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 mario kart is not fun there is no secret characthers or secret places[i think]. I tried the game for an hour and was completly bored now i don't like racing games. The producers should have tried a little harder on this game i was completly unsatified.
2111 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I for one LOVE this game. This game, Medal of Honor and Metal Gear Solid defined my childhood. I love how the disc was here a day before it was expected and there was no scratch on it whatsoever....it was as if it were brand new. I HIGHLY recommend it from these guys.
7937 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Suikoden is an RPG similar in style to older RPGs like Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, and Wild Arms. There are no fancy cinematics, no complex subplots, and rarely as challenging as the newer, full-scale RPGs. But this does not deplete the value of the game, considering it was made in 1996, before FFVII and Chrono Cross ever crossed the PSX radar.
5517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 IMPROVED GRAPHICS OVER ORIGINAL AND MORE CHARACTERS! THE BEST GAME I HAVE PLAYED. 5 STARS
6304 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You've probably read about how much story and text Planescape throws at you. Some might consider this a bad thing, but I can vouch that all of verbiage they give you is GOOD. I knew this was a different, better kind of game when I started out in a mausoleum filled with zombies. Not just repetitive undead attackers, though -- each zombie had its own description and characteristics, and for the first time in a game I got the feeling that these undead were actual former people -- very creepy. Farther on you are exposed to the troubled pasts of the main character and his cohorts, but not all at once; your companions react to each other and the things that happen to you. Talk to them periodically and different options open up. Not to mention all of the existential issues that are explored with the main character, who is immortal but can't remember his past incarnations. Some people have noted that maybe P:T presents you with too much storyline, and doesn't let you role-play enough, but there is still ample opportunity to affect your character's standing both with your stats (wisdom is important even though your character can only be a fighter, mage, and thief) and with your actions within the game.
3839 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I played this game, my hands were actually sweating from the SUSPENSE! The story is quite entertaining with some predictable AND surprising twists in the plot. This game allows you to play as a Marine (weapons), O.S.I.(psionics/mind power), or Navy (cybernetics/computers). Each branch has its corresponding (strengths) but having superior computer skills make the game somewhat easier to proceed through the challenging levels. There are LOTS of high tech weaponry and gadgets throughout the eerie decks of the von Braun including a "red lights" district in the crew's recreational area. It was more fun for me to solve the levels myself rather than resorting to online walkthroughs. If you enjoyed Half-Life and Thief, then you'll have a great time with System Shock 2!
To some, Final Doom for the PlayStation will never be anything more than a haphazard potluck. This port doesn't contain every level from the two thirty-two level PC campaigns nor does it contain every level from the twenty-one level Master Levels expansion. In other words, out of pool of eighty-five possible levels, only thirty make an appearance here. So how does this affect the experience? The answer depends on which episode one's talking about and which levels made the cut.
I agree with other people about the way that you save in that it is kind of annoying but we take that for granted today anyway. In prior games, like Mario 1985, if you got a game over it was back to the beginning of the world you died in. In this game, it's back to the last level you were at before you saved. Maybe the creators were trying to make it a challenging game by doing it that way. In that I say they succeeded.
Sega dominated the arcades with hits like Space Harrier, Shinobi
Rest in Peace Dreamcast, you were better in every way.
Your basic Sonic sounds. You have some decent music here and there, and that stupid jump noise. A lot of music is reused over and over again. The sound in this game is just above average and has nothing special about it.
Second, I was disappointed they didn't leave an empty slot for A Link Between Worlds. They've had this planned for a while and have had to have known the game was coming out the same time as this, as well as the collector's edition guide. Not a huge deal, but again... would have been a nice consideration.
Castlevania manages too find a perfect balance between the simple and complex. It mixes the old run, jump, smack a monster medusa head, gameplay with street fighter like spells, and wait until you see some of these bosses... some are admittedly lame, others will put your gaming skills too the test. But It's best feature is the awesome design of the castle... and how the developers placed the power ups.
The finale is incredible! Super Sonic against the hugest water monster you've ever seen.
6097 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good product but sticky thumbstick. Nothing is unfixable. ..
4391 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is the most beautiful game i've ever played. the detail of the units, the sounds, the graphics are very well done. not to mention the fun factor of playing against online players. this game encourages you to think on your feet and develop different strategies to annihilate your opponent. of all the games out there, i would suggest this game. get the expansion set, too. its a must have for playing with even more units with different skills.
Others may be put off by the fact that the game is not a cartoon-ish violent fest of murder and mayhem. Maybe, I'm being too harsh and they really miss the art of a game. However, for those who love the tv show, here is a chance to interact, have fun, and be a member of the cast via your console.
Soul Calibur
7691 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
Bottom Line: Age of Empires: the Age of Kings is loads of fun. Get it! You won't be dissappointed.
Enemy AI isn't reall bright. You can dust off one baddie while his friend stands around with your 12 gauge pointed at his head- not good.
This one is just more of what you loved about Crash Bandicoot the first.
107 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought these to use with band hero and with the voice games for xbox 360. It worked well, plugged into the xbox 360 without any issues. The microphone worked properly and was just as seller had described. My voice is heard clearly on it and we were able to play both games usuing this mic. Great deal with the price. I would recommend it.
2785 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Once again we have an example of an Amazon vendor claiming one thing and delivering something else.
Extra: Castles - Masterpiece Set (called Ultimate Castle Challenge in GBA port)
Get this game if you want a game of exploration and brain-teasing. Note: It's NOT an RPG. In the traditional sense. We need MORE games like this. Less violence.
Cons:
Overall, great game, but the drastically superior graphics, the scrolling backgrounds, the more appealing music and the smoother framerate makes the Super NES version better.
Not much has changed elsewhere, other than the obvious 30 new levels....it's really nothing more than an add-on to the original....get it if you want more senseless carnage and mutilation.
5072 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played the demo for this from a PC Gamer CD, and instantly fell in love. I don't know what drew me toward this marvel, however at 10 am on the release date, I was anxiously waiting outside my local software store. I enjoy the myriad of exotic weapons, the smooth level design, and especially the level editor included on the second CD. The Unreal Engine is extremely flexible and a joy to work with, allowing me to dish out many interesting effects. About the only thing I do not like about the game is the enhanced (instagib) shock rifle. It's unimpressive, fires a half-second after you hit the button (of course that might be the lag), and just doesn't do well in combat. About the only thing the that made the instagib rifle more appealing was the Akimbo Instagib mod (which is availiable from a third party programmer).
5449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I did not own this game for Playstation, I owned it for PC. But they are exactly the same.
And finally as far as length of time it can stay interesting it's a long game but its only interesting for about 4 hours into the game. If you need it it's length is one you well need a long time to beat.
The single player game is also enjoyable if you are into that kind of thing, but I found myself losing interest after a pretty short time as a single player.
STP has the ultra-cool first-person perspective option courtesy Bullfrog's ultra-cool Dungeon Keeper/Populous/Theme Park engine--and yet the graphics in that game are so gaudy as to be somewhat tiring. RCT's decidedly more primitive graphics are actually easier to look at after a while, and really encourage you to landscape your park! The two main drawbacks of the engine are that there's no first person view and that you can only rotate the isometric view by 90 degrees.
If you are someone who likes to battle the brawl on the urban side of town, then this game is for you.
5224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal Gear Solid is by far the best PS1 game ever created. Here's the story: You are Solid Snake, a secret agent brought out of retirement by your former boss Roy Campbell, to infiltrate a nuclear weapons disposal facility that has been taken over by a hostile group of terrorists and former members of a secret organization called FOXHOUND. Your primary objective is to resuce the DARPA Chief, Donald Anderson and the Arms-Tech President, Kenneth Baker. Upon learning of the terrorist's plans to use a new nuclear weapon capable of mass destruction, Snake must use his cunning and his stealth manuevering to outsmart his enemy and destroy the ultimate weapon: METAL GEAR. With an awesome array of weapons like the SOCOM pistol, the FA-MAS machine gun, the STINGER missle launcher, and the NIKITA rocket launcher, Snake must single-handedly infiltrate the heavily guarded weapons facility and find out about the criminal mastermind behind this plot. Snake will also learn about his dark history which will prove that the criminal behind this plot is more than a match for snake. Or is he?
I love this game and I have played it many times, I'm now in the middle of FF9, and I love it all the same. Pretty soon I'll write a review for that too.
Many Sega Saturn owners didn't realize then how lucky they were that this game was cancelled on their system. Nintendo 64 owners were not so lucky, and I wasn't so lucky after getting the PlayStation version.
6169 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came as described so the sticky button is no surprise
4597 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It definitly improved from the first one from the upgrading of the vehicles. Like the one before this one it was fun.
1116 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This last year of 2003 ET did a survey about the best video game series ever. Zelda one there poll and this game is one of the reasons why.
Oh and the game is a victim of underwater tragedies- you're constantly adjusting the camera for a more appropriate angle but finding that it's much harder than it needs to be. I will never understand why Nintendo refuses to fix water portions in 3D platform gaming. It's mind-boggling. They didn't even fix them in Super Mario Galaxy 2, a game released a good 10 years after Banjo-Kazooie. The characters are all forgettable, including the ponytail-sporting female bear and Banjo himself. Kazooie the bird is probably the only tolerable one of the bunch.
Except for the 3 drawbacks I mentioned, this is worth every penny that you spend
Overall this game is not worth buying unless you really like pretty pictures.
3223 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There are secret ways to unlock alternate versions of some of the characters, and even unlock Onslaught. You'll have to beat the game using certain techniques. In order to beat the game very easily, I personally found it best to use Ryu and Venom on Easy mode. Use them to beat the game multiple times and you'll be able to unlock all of the secret characters.
So, I just wanted to post this for anyone else that has this problem, or will have this problem in the future. So far I have only got their answering machine. Let's see if they are still supporting this title and call me back:o)
Control- Obviously this is the black-sheep of the family. The controls are clunky and choppy, and sometimes they interfere with the great gaming experience. Thank God for infinite health codes! 3/5 (ouch)
The music is outstanding and some of it is memorable, one of my favorite tracks is the ending theme of this one, the music is compose of a synthesizer and other normal instruments.
From the story, to the graphics, and to the music and settings, this game will amaze you. The production values and quality of this game are tremendous.
10. Just buy it trust me It's a fun challenging Mario game.
For a good Mario game, play Mario is Missing!, Mario's Time Machine, or the CDI classic, Hotel Mario. If you want a good RPG, for the SNES, play Dungeon Master of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.
Con's: The game tutorial was okay, but wish I could find a way to start back at the beginning of it. When my husband wanted to play I had to tell him how to do it instead of him doing the tutorial because it wouldn't start back at the beginning
Final Fantasy 7 defined the 3D graphical engine used in almost all of today's RPGs. Its characters, still fresh, were very unique, emotionally unstable, and enjoyable to read about. The storyline spins off numerous tangents and undertones that suggested a fully functioning, realistic world that presents real-life human troubles.
However, the main attraction of this game is the story. Anyone who has played through the game will remember Cloud, his friends, and the enigmatic Sephiroth, who are still iconic figures in the game world. (That Square-Enix still releases games and movies based on the FF7 world helps, no doubt.) The plot is quite strange and frequently confusing, but in its essentials it worked for me. The translation could have used some more polish, but is of good enough quality as to not distract from the rest of the game.
My other gripe is how sparse the mode selection is. You have the standards such as Grand Prix, Time Attack, VS and Practice but aside from Death Race; the game really could use a couple more modes.
Also you'll be moved by the heartbreaking story of the robot ally E-102 or something (that part when he died and the little bird was finally together with amy's bird) will make you want to cry.
But, to be honest, it's a hassle to bother with the PC version. It's best to get a playstation and play it that way. FF7's system requirements are strict and tend to make the game look and run worse than on the Playstation even if you have a good computer. And keyboard control is no fun at all(ironically, I used a gamepad that resembles the PS controller). And otherwise, this is a striaght port so you're not missing anything if you go for the PS version. But, if you refuse to/can't buy a playstation, this version is better than nothing and you certainly won't want to miss out.
8700 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. My only lament is that they won't bring out a second and third one just like it with different races and boards. (I haven't yet played the wii version), When they bring out new versions for new systems they always try to change and improve and in doing so they usually make it worse. Ths game was great! Not too childish, difficult enough to be fun, easy to control. If heaven exists god is up there playing like 100 sequels to this that are all equally good but different.
Armada prolongs the Star Trek game curse when it should have shattered it. The prospect of moving a fleet of Defiant and Sovereign class starships around the screen should have been an easy game to create. Perhaps if Activision had optioned the Homeworld engine for Armada, things would have been different. However, on the upside, the rendered starships do look nice, as does the 3D lighting for all of the effects shots. Getting Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, and Denise Crosby to do voices will probably get die-hard Trek fans to purchase the game to feed their pirana-like frenzy for franchise merchandise, but style should never win out over substance in a game like this. There is very little meat to this game.
This game is all about the overhwelming sense of DREAD it will instill in you, making you almost not want to play it anymore. I've had friends hit the hospital section, take one look at their surroundings, and hand me the controller and leave the room. It's not that it's overly gross; it's not. It's just the prospect of having to subject yourself to the Silent Hill version of a freaking HOSPITAL that makes you almost cringe before you even start. And by the time you get there, you know just what the term "Silent Hill version of" means.
3672 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Gauntlet Legends is a mindless hack, slash, burn, and blast game. There is nothing wrong with aimlessly wandering about creepy dungeons, mashing buttons, and mowing down bad guys. It's especially fun with companions. This game is a classic. I enjoy the graphics, the audio effects, the characters, the different environments, and seemingly endless procession of monsters in this game. Finding all the switches one needs to progress is sometimes tiresome. The game's storyline is linear, but that's okay. Sometimes a formulaic approach is just what the doctor ordered!
all said and done though..the Dreamcast was the final entry into segas console fleet..and it was a GREAT addition.. its still fun to play with today..if your a collector i highly recomment grabbing one..
FF9- I heard it had some sort of advanced weapon system where different weapons learn different magic, never bought the game
4. Replay value isn't very high. Once you complete it, that's it. It's so hard that I wouldn't ever want to go through the same frustration again, as to the fact that it was very difficult, even if you do know what you're doing.
7589 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MOVE THE FRIG OVER MARIO KART 64 BECAUSE HERE COMES DIDDY!!!! Seriously though, I can't claim this is a better racing game than Mario Kart 64, but I can tell you with certainty this game has a lot more going on... for better or worse. There is an adventure mode with a hub world you can explore. Multiple vehicles to drive on the tracks, each with their own unique advantages and disadvantages, and even boss races, which are admittedly very punishing. If you want a retro racing game with more going on than go-carts and battle-modes I would highly recommend this game.
Also, a reviewer below named linda mccormick says you need some kind of special equipment to play Yoshi's Island. That's not true. Just a regular controller will work. She may have meant the Nintendo 64 Yoshi game, or a different game entirely.
1810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when i was very young and loved it. I found it again and it is still so much fun. The first will always be the best.

matt the new movie of resident evil is the nemesis which is after stars members. he is not after jill he is after us because we are take control of jill. more horror than resident evil2 but no speaical features. but don't turn your volume off because will say stars and you will konw that he is after you.
6164 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 no problems
After completing the game. *Which, first time around, will probably take about 10-12 hours*, you unlock a Battle Mode Reminiscent of the Saturn port of RE1. It's entertaining, although limited.
I loved the good old Zelda games but this just doesn't deserve the Zelda name, lets just hope that Zelda on the Game Cube doesn't turn out the same way.
5790 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy 8 was one of the best games when it was released and still is widly played. It steller graphics was the best one in the series until the release of 9 and 10. It brought The RPG gamer to a new world of playing. The junction system was the biggest downfall to the game. Certain magic raised attributes higher than others, but you could not carry every kind of magic with just one player. Having to keep a higgh supply of the magic the increase the attributes of the characters turned out to be a constant pain. The hidden drawpoints hold powerful magic spells that any gamer would need to survive. Final Fantasy 8 brought not really the best summon graphics, but the best summons to see. Seeing Odin crush enemies across the plains with his sword was nice to see. Eden summon was by far the best. The best part of the summons was the ability to boost them which with Eden will get you around 40,000 damage done to the enemy. Being able to make every characters ultimate weapon was better than having to search them. To level up quickly go To the Island of Hell with Quistis. Use her her Degenerator to vaporize the toughest of monsters. The card game was a neat mini-game to play but doing the Card Queen Quest took a lot of time. The House where you fight all the bosses toward the end of the game can be confusing, and deciding what ability to unlock after winning each boss fight can be quite nerve racking at times. Fighting Omega Weapon is a challange of the best of gamers. Unless you have Squall's Lion Heart Limit Break do not even attempt to fight it.
8671 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's a fun arcade racer, that I will not deny. However, as someone who has grown accustomed to 3D racers, this game could be hard to play at times.
4049 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Normally I'm not ... for buying extra copies, but Half-Life did just that. I myself have a personal story of going into the store to get something...only to end up with a brand new original copy of Half-Life, in that famous original box (not the somewhat worse, but still palatable one you see here for the GotY version).

3086 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Are you joking. This is by far the WORST final fantasy in my opinion. Man, are you guys even trying anymore? I looked at final fantasy x-2 and rented it and gosh, you cant even make a good game out of that.

105 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Awful controller. Tamborine slaps in Rock Band 4 just don't register. Went with the official mic and things are much better now.
263 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This product is not actually distributed by Sony. As well, Playstation 2 consoles, to my knowledge, do not have any existing memory cards above the 8MB in size. There's some nasty hack for it that simply doesn't work and this card will never work like they say it does. It's essentially a regular memory card without the 8MB memory limitation, therefore making the PS2 overwrite previous data because the memory card is full, but the PS2 doesn't understand that it's full, thus causing corruptions.
4833 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love the delta force games, I just wish they didn't let people cheat. Go buy the newest one!
9712 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the best. I don't know what that one guy was talking about when he said that it lagged on his 700 mhz computer. I played it with no problems on an intel celeron, 366 MHz, with 32 megs of ram. (There are several other reasons why he and his friends could have had problems.)
Although the settings are weird, that actually allows Nintendo to push the company's creativity to their furthest. I mean, seriously, Mario is seen SWIMMING IN WATER that is ATTACHED TO THE CEILING! Not to mention, he can also run across giant Lego blocks, float in space, and fight actual sharks! Never would we have known that Mario would be able to go outside the Mushroom Kingdom by this much.
You don't learn much about the other characters except Rinoa who is Squalls lover interest in the game. Rinoa isn't exactly my favorite character, since most of the time she is a damsel in distress and causes all attention in the game to be focused on her. The game made the relationship feel forced and you feel thrown into a love story. Squall and Rinoa never truly have a bond in the game, but Squall falls madly in love with her. From a realistic stand point, Quistis would have been the best match for Squall. She was truly understood him, she was mature, and she actually went out her way for him. It just seemed odd that he would fall in love for Rinoa whom he hardly had a chance to interact with. It's the gaps in the plot like that that didn't make too much since to me, like the writers didn't know how to carry out the character relationships, which is a strong point in any love story. I guess for the player, you never truly understand why Squall falls so madly in love with Rinoa. The game does a poor job at executing just why he cares for her so much all of a sudden, and is willing to risk his life for her.
Yepp, you read that right, five million. The fun factor is the hands down best part about this game. You can race on yoshi, chase a crazy guy up a hill, stomp moombas on pipes, battle optional bosses, attempt 100 super jumps, find hidden items set out by a trio of ghosts, hell, there's almost ANYTHING you can imagine! Although if you have some hang up about immaturity in video games, I would advise you to keep away from this game. This game utilizes every childish tidbit of humor you can possibly imagine, but that is what sets it apart from other RPGs! Instead of having a romantic (hey, that can be great too)storyline, it revolves around Mario and his goofy adventures(but there is a lot more to it), justt ake my word for it, this is the funnest RPG of all time, and probably in my top three as the greatest, maybe even top two! Hell, it may even be the best!
Like Myst, Riven is a challenging puzzle game. Overall, the game isn't quite as challenging as Myst because the relationship between the puzzles and solutions aren't as attenuated. However, there are a few cases where I felt like I knew what information I needed, but didn't know where to find it. This is particularly problematic in a point-and-click game with limited movement. I was particularly frustrated with learning the Riven numbers - I knew I needed to in order to learn a code, but couldn't figure out where to get the translation! Also, there is one thing in the very last puzzle which is a real pain - something impossible to see that needs to be moved.
2) Zerg (think the movie aliens)
First off, Sub Zero walks and controls like a robot. Second, this game uses every button on the controller (you even have a separate button to hit when you want him to face the direction to walk!) Third, you unlock his special moves as you progress through the game and while many use the same directional pad + button combinations in Mortal Kombat, they are 100 times harder to pull off. The bosses are petty damn hard so expect to die a lot. The graphics and sound do their job in setting the mood for the game, while the music is standard MK and kung fu inspired theatrical sounding. The PS1 version features full motion cut-scenes between the stages you fight in while the N64 gets the standard static artwork.
9911 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my first sixteen bit game.
I think that whatever company or designers created this game obviously didn't have much money at the time, so they decided to make a mediocre game. This was bad. Believe me.
I hope Starfox Adventures will be good. This game shouldn't have started the whole Starfox thing. If so, it needed work.
2931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I was a kid this game was one of the games to play and I did but I never got around to buying it. As I got older and it got more expensive I kicked myself for not begging my parents to buy this game but finally I got my hands on my own copy. I am so happy and regret nothing about my purchase. When I started this game, all the memories came flooding in and now I can experience that feeling any time. The game and the case were like new and the booklet was included. I feel so lucky to have purchased it in great condition. If you are like me and missed your chance at owning this game as a kid it is never to late so take the plunge and own one of the most awesome games ever made.
It has quite a challenge to it and is an addicting game once picked up you can't set it down.
OVERALL
1214 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Can't review this title now cuz I still haven't officially finished CRASH's 1&2, I bought it TO HAVE!! I'm a classic game collector at heart, don't know when I'll start playing but i will eventually. Now that it's in my library.
RIDICULOUS VARIETY IN ENEMIES AND TREMENDOUS BOSSES: Loved it just loved it. I was surprised to see there were so many different types of enemies in the game. To top it off, defeating them and making your way through the castle rewards you with spectacular boss fights. These bosses vary from your own doppelganger to almighty you know who. There are so many so many awesome bosses. JUST BE SURE TO EXPLORE THE CASTLE THROUGHLY.
9531 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had read all of the reviews saying that "Myst" is a great game and everyone should play it, but I just thought these were some gamers who still had nostalgia from back when they first played games. I was wrong. The fact that Myst is such a great game 15 years later just shows how great a game it is. I played this game on Windows XP, so somehow the other reviewers that said it isn't compatible on there are wrong. Also, the only difference from Myst Masterpiece and Myst is that the choppy gameplay is better. I'd recommend this version, as it also comes with an ingame hint system.
9949 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Phantasy Star 2, without a doubt a game ahead of its time when it was released on the Genesis years ago. While it may look simplistic now compared to the recent RPG's of late, but everything from the anime style graphics to the excessively long quest made Phantasy Star 2 worth playing. The final boss was one of the most memorable bosses in video game history, when I was younger it gave me nightmares. All in all, if you can find it now it may be a bit pricey, but next to Gunstar Heroes, this is the second best Genesis game ever.
This game took everything good about the original Diablo and just multiplied it. You now have four entirely different regions to explore, each featuring a number of NPCs-some more helpful than others. You've still got your basic dungeon campaigns, but you also get to explore wild forests, desert sands, and ethereal regions somewhere between earth and the netherworld. Your choices of how to fight are varied indeed; you can choose to fight as one of five different hero types, each of which requires its own unique strategy. I tend to stay with the barbarian because I find it the easiest to control (it's all about slicing and dicing). If you want to use a lot of magic, you have to do a lot more clicking in order to change spells and refresh your manna-when you are surrounded by demons, this can get rather difficult. The NPCs afford you a lot of choices in terms of armor and weapons, but of course you have to earn the cash to pay for the high-dollar stuff by slaughtering untold demon hordes. The monsters you encounter in your travels are diverse and sometimes daunting. You have to use a little skill (or a lot of luck) to defeat some of the premier baddies you will run across, but one advantage this game offers is the aid of a companion. When the going gets tough, a partner firing arrows left and right can be a great help. If you worry about the length of the game, rest assured that there is action enough to keep you clicking for untold hours. There are four "parts" to the game (with very cool introductory sequences), each one featuring about 10 different areas and six significant quests. Finishing the game will take some a lot of time and effort, but it can be done; as soon as you finish, though, you are ready to dive back in and do the whole thing all over again.
I haven't played Power Stone 2 though. But get this game.....
The skills alone make for a replayable game, but there is much, much more to DII. The terrain is once again randomized, but much more so than the original. I've started four separate games, and the terrain has been different every time. The quests are more of a driving force in DII, causing you to focus on your task while sweeping through the huge levels. The entire act I is bigger than the first game.
The story is familiar enough. Donkey Kong, with the help of his friends, goes after the evil reptiles that stole his banana hoard. Cranky Kong, who is the original Arcade DK, offers greater help this time around, giving you new abilities and objectives as you complete old ones. His sarcastic "In my day..." remarks add some nice comic relief. The graphics, with the aid of the requisite Expansion pak, are amazing, rich and colorful. The movements of the characters are smooth, and the worlds are gigantic, allowing for lots of exploration and hidden levels.

7897 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was so much fun to play when it first came out that I probably spent close to two years trying to figure everything. My brother probably spent about the same amount of time as well and figured even more stuff. The most challenging thing about this game was getting all of the container hearts. I will never forget the countless hours spent looking for those things!! Lots of fun. Anyone who doesn't give this game 5 stars doesn't know a d... thing about video games period.
2248 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For all those people who complain that the Expansion Pak is not worth it because they cannot see the difference in graphics in certain games, make sure you are making said comparison with games that ACTUALLY utilize the Expansion Pak.
2575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When eve you purchase a used product I highly recommend reading over the sellers information about the product as well as the customer rating of the seller. I was impressed that mine came with hardly any scratches and a good battery cover. I am well pleased with my purchase!
And now for the overall graphics. I've been playing RPG's long before the Playstation, so when we first bought the Playstation we purchased a rather cheap, traditional space shooter with impressive graphics but not much else. WA was the second game we bought for the PS, so graphically speaking, we had just come off of a heavy dose of Super Nintendo games and were not yet exposed to the elements that FFVII would soon bring. The graphics were alright by me, but graphics does not always mean a great game. Take Wild Arms' remake (WA: Alter Code F) for example. Updated story, great movie scenes, but somehow didn't live up to the original.
Anyway, the one thing that makes this a must-own game and near classic is the long, gigantic maze of a planet you need to explore. Yes, despite the lack of challenge from the planet enemies (ALL of them) and the emptiness of much of the world, exploring each new room CAN be a lot of fun. You'll want to keep searching until you discover every little missile or energy tank available, and that is what a good adventure game should do.
9009 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In a world where there were CDs, companies like Sega and 3DO had tried to capitalize on the concept of playing video games on a CD, giving the games enhanced graphics and sound. There is one company, however, named Nintendo, and it created Donkey Kong Country. Donkey Kong Country was a game that proved that you don't need CD-based technology to make games with flashy graphics. You just need to put in effort to fit it to your console.
At the same time you must hold the respect of your countrymen, the fear and conquest of foreign and domestic enemies with their eye on your land and goods. This is done by your military accomplishments, your charitable contributions to countrymen, tributes to the crown, etc.
After all the reviews that I read, I thought that when I tried my buddy's game "Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles" on my step-brother's Dreamcast that it would [stink]completely... but in fact it was the exact opposite. All the reviews I read kept saying how "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" was way better than"Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles"... boy were those reviews experiencing strong cases of irony. "Jedi Power Battles" was a lot more fun than "The Phantom Menace", and it was at a good level of difficulty. Too bad I didn't beat it though, my step-brother doesn't have a Memory Card for his Dreamcast. If you're a HUGE fan of "Star Wars", then don't get this game... you'll end up destroying the game after you see how many pointless missions you have to go through and how many impossibly difficult leaders you have to face: 1) Jabba the Hut's champion fighter, 2) a huge and hairy beast, 3) a thief who stole a part from Anakin's podracer, 4) a Coruscant mercenary, 5) and ofcourse the incredibly powerful Darth Maul. Sure, it may SOUND easy, but wait till you hear this... you don't always play as Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi; in quite a few levels you are forced to play as Captain Panaka and even...gulp... Queen Amidala! Really, I'm not kidding.
Excellent new weapons. The sniper rifle adds a different slant on the large scale battles and the new alien weapons are great fun (except maybe the barnacle grappling hook.)
But wait, you may say. What about "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island"? Although the title may confuse things, "Super Mario World 2" is no more a Mario game than "Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land". Both use pre-existing Mario brands to jumpstart sales, and neither one star Mario. Both games launched their own perspective sub-series in the Mario universe, completely separate from the main series. And both are jaw-dropping titles.
Nothing...
6334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I shouldn't have to tell you this, but go buy this game system. If you had to decide between a Playstation and an N64 there is no doubt I'd buy an N64. With at least 30-40 revolutionary titles and also being one of the first "3D" consoles I'd say if you don't have this system or didn't in the past you simply did not have a childhood. In my opinion the 90s was the best decade of ALL TIME. And it's because of this right here, thank you Japan, thank you Nintendo. You can get this for about $20 used. Seriously?! That's insanely cheap for something this great. BUY IT. NOW.
Buy Donkey Kong Land 2 because it is FUN and FLAWLESS.
4277 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The title says it all. If you like real time strategy games and havn't tried this one out, buy it as soon as you can. This is a fast paced game that is simply addicting. It's truely amazing how balanced the 3 races are in this game, from Zerg to Terren to Protoss. This game is an instant classic, as are just about all games from Blizzard. If you have never played an RTS either, this is a great game to get you introduced to the industry. It also has a built in free internet play support on Battle.net, which is sometimes slow but will always hook you up with a multiplayer game when you want to for free. From the best computer game company as well, Blizzard Entertainment, so you know you're getting a quality product. Highly reccomended, A+!
9541 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 With the Mega Man games achieving high status on the NES, Capcom decided to take advantage of the hand held department and released the very first portable Mega Man game in 1991. Before we go into the GOOD and BAD of this game, let me tell you that this game was the very first Mega Man game I ever completed. So in that respect, this game helped me get into the Mega Man franchise, even though I had played the first two prior to this game (again, this one I beat before them.). Read on or die:
7783 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nice game trying to play it but my nintendo will not go on, but as soon as I get it I will be playing thanks.
-up to four players can play in a deathmatch
2168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works, thats all I have to say.
7325 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I wish capcom would have put much effort in Mega Man 8 as they did Mega man 7. But this is still a fun game with all the aime cut scenes.
1043 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'd recommend buying it used to save some money. The tracks are nice and the game play is all right. It's just not the same as playstation racing games though.
Worth your money but I suggest getting the playstation version of it.
Playing the sound on the Genesis was a mix, the sounds are
Reaper
782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works good
4255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when it first came out, but never owned it and never played the expansion pack. Man was I missing out. For the price this was selling at this is the ultimate deal. Not only do you get the game and the expansion, but you get detailed strategy books for both games.
7862 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many gamers will openly acknowledge that the Zelda series is one of the longest running and most beloved video game series! When one think of Nintendo one not only think of Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong, ONE THINKS OF ZELDA. If you love a great quest game this is the game for you! still as playable as it was back then and still deserving of all the hype it gets! There would be no OoT if this game didn't bring the seminal series further! It is a major boost to the epic series and deserves the credit it is due! If you are craving a fantasy adventure quest game and still love the 16 bit look then this is what you are looking for!!! 10/10
There are some important differences to the Myst series. First of all, rather than exploring a number of different worlds, or 'ages', in Riven you explore one (albeit large) world, comprised of five islands. There are links to two other 'ages' but these are very sketchily developed and there is not much to explore here. There are some differences between the islands, but the radically different tones of the ages in Myst or Myst III is missing.
7072 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of my favorite games as a kid. Me and my friend used to play this game all the time. We would play as the Chicago Bulls and take on all the other teams in the NBA.I would be Pippen and my friend would play as Horace Grant. We had a ball playing this game lol Sometimes I pull out my old copy and pop it into my Genesis and play it. It's still just as good as it was back in 1994 :)
The gameplay is VERY addicting, and you will find yourself looking at the clock and watching hours go by as if they were minutes. There strange thing is that it is nothing remarkable...go, kill, do quest and gain experience. Perhaps themost entertaining aspect is the multiplayer, which keeps the game going no matter how many times you've beaten it. The bottom-line: GET IT. You will LOVE it. A great story, great voice acting and tons of items and creatures to discover make this game well worth your time and money!
721 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This used to be an all time favorite game of mine when I was a kid. I don't even understand how I was able to move and shoot. New games/controllers have made things sooo easy that this game is tough just to walk/aim. With a little practice and lots of deaths you should be fine.
Story 4.5/5 Gameplay 5/5 Music 5/5 Overall 9.5/10 = A
3603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast is in a word, awesome. The graphics that this system puts out are second to none, even with the debut of the PS2. Graphics are sharp and crisp on the Dreamcast, which cannot be said of Sony's offerings in the game system market. The lack of a variety of sports games in my only caveat. I only wish that I would have the option to choose between a few different varieties of baseball games, for example. It would have been nice to have had an option other than Sega's abysmal World Series Baseball 2K1 last year. That being said, most of the other games I have purchased have been outstanding. Games like Test Drive LeMans, Star Wars Demolition, and NFL 2K1 are really great games. I only hope that Sega will produce more versions of their games beyond this year. The [$] price that the Dreamcast is available at today makes it a great bargain that is well worth picking up, especially if you can live without the DVD player of the PS2. Check it out today... it's well worth it!
Overall-Great Game, remember to turn your Gamma controls all the way up guys.
2576 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blast from the past. Came in perfect condition.
3774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The graphics on this game are the best I have ever seen from a gaming console. Sonic Adventure is addictive until you beat it.
However, Gabriel Knight 3 is still a great game. Like the others in the series, it is quite long and takes a lot of thought and a lot of close attention to detail. I liked that the NPC's had lives of their own and moved through the game in ways that were unpredictable. By keeping close track of them, sometimes stumbling on interactions and conversations, you can get a much larger picture of what's going on. I thought this added a lot to the realism of the game. You don't have to see everything to complete the game, but attempting to do so both makes the game last longer and makes it very replayable.
If you liked this game then check out all of the other Star wars games
5431 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I found this game very boring and stupid. It does have the best classic games ever made on it. but i didn't find them that enjoyable, but centapide was fun the best on there. All in all it was okay i wouldn't buy it.
Where to begin? There is so much in this game that makes it so fun. I absolutely love the side quests. Getting the Biggoron Sword is a race against time, but very rewarding considering you will posess an awesome huge sword that is twice as powerful as the Master Sword!
9239 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is gritty New York crime game that has been able to do something few other's can do, and that is to add a well scripted graphic novel to support gameplay. Max Payne is a wonderful shooter. There are some puzzles that have to be solved, yet most are rather simple such as shooting a tire-chalk to make a trailer crash creating an opening for you.
Very, very little in the way of power ups.
2066 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good
overall: If you like the SNES FF games, this is the right collection for you (Along with Chronicles which includes FF4 (FF2 in the USA for the SNES) and Chrono Trigger)
This game was much better than Super Mario Kart, and much better than Double Dash. In this game you can choose from 50cc - 150cc (which isn't much), and depending on your speed, this could be very boring, or the ride of your life. I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to speed down Yoshi Valley at 200 mph? For its time in '96, this game was amazing, and I still play it today. I am 15 now, so it has an enormous replay value. And the only stage I don't like is Banshee Boardwalk.
Raven Software did a great job on this game. The environments are bigger than what you'd expect from the TV shows, the aliens are more imaginative, the weapons are much more impressive and realistic, and the combat is gripping in some parts, especially when you're facing a stampede of Borg. Your teammates all have their own personalities and functions, and the patter between them is actually worth listening to. They're even FUNNY when they tell JOKES. Who knew?
THE GRAPHICS: Donkey Kong 64 seems to take the graphics roll from Super Mario 64, in that the characters are a little on the blocky side, but their really not all bad. I've only come across a few complaints which is demonstrated in the following description: In one area, the room has a large wooden treasure chest with a switch of the character's face on it. Sounds fine right? Wrong, the switch attached to the chest is made from a vent in one of the previous areas. A metal switch attached to a wooden chest. Sheer laziness. VERDICT:*** 3/5
The pace of the game is much faster than the original, thanks mostly due to the quicker response and aggressiveness of the robots. It is here you will see the improved AI in action, because the robots WILL come after you, will work in teams, they do not cluster together to make mass-kills easier, and at higher skill settings, they most certainly WILL take you apart. The rush is incredible when you're fighting like mad in the early levels just to stay alive! The napalm-equipped bots are ferocious and stick to you like their weapons do. The robot generator areas-the one's that replicate new attack bots, keeps churning them out as fast as you can shoot them down. The game can be relentless at times, which is what a player wants.
The whole materia thing is fun, except for the fact that it ruins your stats.
Fps were scarce too. Soldier of fortune is the only one I'd really recommend now that quake 3 isn't online.
9655 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In great condition. Works great.
9038 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Game! Not a lot of recognition but worth the time of getting! Fun Motorcycle Game! Came in perfect condition, the cartridge worked well and would purchase others from this company!
OVERALL RATING: 10/10
In true Amazon fashion, I give this game 4 out of 5 stars.
4872 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Don't get you hopes to high, this game with s horrible.
4849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the classics, no matter how far along technology brings us, I will always like to go further toward the roots of video gaming. N64 was my absolute favorite game console as a child, since I was raised in the 90's. If you ever liked N64 and didn't get the chance to play this game, I recommend it!
-Deep and engaging play.
6313 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Decent graphics, but a little slow in areas, especially with multiple spells going off at once. Besides that, pretty good plot, decent leveling ability, and VERY nice fighting. I think you'll enjoy. Just be sure to have a 3D graphics card enabled, and some decent RAM.
6511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Remember my friends, final fantasy V is great, but you really need help on final fantasy VI because that is the hardest one to play.
831 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lord,
Anyways on with the review..
Special Significance of my review
9/10
9142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So if you have't gotten this game yet get it now. It does have certain drawbacks the game is realativly short and the acting just BAD.
9034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As the title implies it was because of this game that I decided to go for the PSX. Until then I only had the NES and was looking at the the three next gen at the time (Sega Saturn, N64, PSX) and after my dad convinced me to rent the system, and this game, I was sold.
1. Highly inspired zaniness of the best kind. A six-armed, invisible monster with an Irish accent. A walking castle that whistles "Tiptoe Through the Tulips." A way to lose the game that exiles you to New Jersey.
In the end, Streets or Rage 2 is looked back upon very fondly by gamers that lived the 16-bit era. It was everything we wanted in a side-scroller beat 'em up game. Great music, great attention to detail, a semi-sophisticated fighting system, weapons, tough bosses, and a varied assortment of fighters and fighting styles all packaged neatly together in one game makes this the gold standard of side scroller beat 'em ups. They just don't make them like they used to anymore...
*Versus
4757 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After this game I played Diablo. Diablo is not a bad game,but Baldur's Gate makes it look like Pong. This is the best AD&D game iv've ever played (and I play a lot).
5279 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game years ago on the playstation console and absolutely loved it. Now i have a ps2 and bought Fear Effect after all this time; I have no regrets. The storyline is well plotted and the game play is challenging, smooth, entertaining and makes you think therefore this game is not for the weak minded, impatient gamer. The fear meter is a much welcomed attribute which adds a bit of reality and challenge as opposed to the traditional health bar and the ability to play with 3 different characters throughout the plot makes it a fascinating journey.
No stealing abilities,
Now that we're safely at base the question is: Do you sweat when playing a PC Game? You bet you do if it's this game. The system the game was tested on was a P3 with 128 ram and Diamond Viper2. There were a couple graphical glitches - seams in the terrain being the only one that broke the immersive spell.
Great cutscenes.(but blurry not recorded well.)
6371 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Years ago, when this first came out I was hooked. Forming a online clan, we called our selves "sithlords". We were fully committed to having fun. Whats great about this game was the balance across the classes. I loved it. The story of the game was amazing as well. Now I have no idea if the servers are still up for online fun but it was truely nice at one point in time.
The object of the game is to track down your daughter. You hunt around Silent Hill looking for your daughter. The city is almost completely deserted, it's snowing, and there's a fog that prevents you from seeing more than a few yards in front of you. If that's not bad enough, the city is full of rabid dogs, and flying things that look like pteridactyls or really big bats.
Knuckles - Rather than going from start to finish, Knuckles has to find 3 Emeralds in each level. So how do you do so? You glide around the place and see if an Emerald is picked up on a radar (REALLY helpful), and they could be hidden in enemies or other places. The only minor (And only MINOR) downside with Knuckles is that there are only about 1 (or 2?) Emeralds throughout the game that could only be found by digging into the ground. I was expecting Knuckles's digging upgrade to be used a bit more specifically for finding Emeralds.
By now, many Mario fans have taken a look at either the Japanese or U.S. version of Super Mario 64, so we'll spare you (most of) the hype and rhetoric. Having said that, it must be stated that SM64 is the greatest videogame to date, and one which all games, regardless of genre, will be judged henceforth. Nintendo set itself a nearly impossible goal and achieved it with SM64. Look closely, Mario's lineage is 2D -- not ideal material upon which to base the most intensely scrutinized 3D videogame ever. But videogames are, in the end, meant to entertain. And entertainment is at the heart of this fantastic title.
2929 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The cut-scenes were alright, the game-play was excellent, and it really was a superb game for its time. I just had a hard time going back to the old graphics.
* Tetris
7582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I brought this because I used to play this game when I was 7 years old. I had to order it because I miss playing this game. It plays on PS3 (even though its for PS). I love it! Thanks <3
Chracters: 5/5
7331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A Game Informer Editor not all that long ago reviewed this game as part of their past reviews section. He said it was his favorite game of all time. When EGM magazine made their list of top 100 games of all time, this game was higher on their list than any other game by Sonic Team. I love this game, and would not part with my copy for anything. Why? SO glad you asked.
The Sorceress is no different than the Sorcerer of the first game, save the fact that she learns her elemental magics: fire, ice, and lightning on each individual tree. Players can choose to master one tree, or blend all three to have an excellent elemental warrior!
7550 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I so missed this game; used to play it all the time as a child. I was surprised at the nearly pristine condition of the game and it was in perfect working condition.
Nevertheless, the game has taken leaps and bounds, and the good outweighs the bad. If you even remotely enjoyed Diablo, I guarantee that you will like Diablo II.
After an upgrade past windows 95, this game never would work on my PC again. But I have thought about getting the Playstaion for this game (or a rom, shhhh)
Starcraft's campaigns makes it standout...the Kerrigan story was spectacular, especially if you buy this battle chest and go thru the whole story from the original to Broodwar. Blizzard hired some decent fiction writers for the plot...
Oh, and while some sounds in the game are not very organized, other sounds actually form somewhat of a quality melody.
7443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remembered having this game as a wee lad, and it was one of the first games I bought when I got a new N64. Thank you to the person who sent me this game.
(RETRACTION FROM MY REVIEW OF NAMCOMUSEUM VOL.1: I somehow forgot that DIGDUG was included in VOL.3, and erroneously entered it as included theirein. However, at 7 games, it is STILL the best value of the series. I now return you to your regularly scheduled game review, already in progress..)
To bad many have not been able to witness the first Soul Calibur because it was on the Dreamcast.
Metal Gear solid Sums up to these things
5051 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having played everything from PONG to BALDUR'S GATE and owned everything from Atari 2600 to VIC20 to Commodore 64 to Amiga to Playstation to PC I know a great achievement in gaming when I see it. Unreal Tournament is quite an accomplishment for no other reason than stealing the thunder from Quake 3 Arena. It betters QUAKE in everything but graphics. It's a pretty close call in visuals too! Play it offline by yourself or go online and gun down a few strangers, either way it's one heck of a good time.
The only con is that so far there is only one Tekken game better than this one-the fabulous Tekken 4. Don't know how I'll judge Tekken 5, but whatever. This game is absolutely flawless and for now only the Tekken 4 coming after it is better. Period
When he is an adult, things are noticeable more evil, for Ganon's power has grown.
The game moves relatively quickly, depending on your skill at the gameplay and your patience for long talking scenes. The codec system is filled with hours of useless expository and sometimes nonsensical conversations that allows you to delve a little deeper into the back story. These codec conversations are actually the nucleus for the entirety of the Metal Gear saga. I hear tell of 55 minute speed runs but I've never seen or come close to accomplishing such a thing myself.
The story is not bad, but it is badly told. It uses about every hackneyed Japanese RPG element imaginable, but it doesn't remedy this problem with interesting characters or compelling twists. The translation is just dumb. Sony broke it down to simple diction and pure, fatuous juvenalia. The "romantic" relationship between Justin and Feena is basically insulting -- it has the maturity of an elementary school infatuation. Sue is an utterly pointless character, who's involvement in the story is simple arbitrary and ridiculous. What is the creature "Puffy"? The game never explains. I expected some kind of enigmatic quality to the creature, with a revelation disclosing all at some point (like Nall in Lunar). This never happens. It's stupid. The voice acting is hideous. Attemps at humor fall flat. Attempts at emotional expression are cringe-inducing.
Most of the cool stuff is still there from the PC game. There is the same sayings, some new ones, same levels etc.. whats missing is the adult content the PC had packed into it. So some things are different like, there is no strippers dancing around, and you can't go up and press OPEN to throw them money, and the posters are different etc... infact the second levels strip club has been completly re decorated into an out-door loading dock with trucks. Thats a bit of a disapointment that that stuff was replaced to tone it down.

The leap in graphics between Final Fantasy VI and this one is pretty amazing. Where FF6 was a 2D game with 16 bit graphics, this one was fully rendered 3D graphics. You move your polygonal character through a richly painted "mural" of a world. The sound quality is also much better.

The game is just plain awsome. Unfortenutly that was 7 years ago and I doubt this will work on XP but when Im at his house I always play this amazing game. The begining is friggin scary when you're in the abandon space ship and all you hear are the lives of the sapce crew screaming and beging for there lives.
4770 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is, simply put, a masterpiece. The classic side scrolling action is very well done, as is the use of Spells and the power to Equip, use Secret Uses for equipment (Weapon Ex. With some weapons, they have a special attack that can be executed with Left, Left-Down, Down, Right-Down, Right or vice versa. Accessories Ex. With the Gravity Boots if you press Down, Up and then X (jump) you rocket into the air to dizzying heights). The gameplay is smooth, unless you encounter many enemies with graphically impressive attacks, at which point the action lags. The castle is huge, not to mention once you "beat the game" (the first castle) there's still half of the game left (the inverted castle). When you complete the whole game, you recieve passwords to obtain special abilities in your next game. This game is NOT LINEAR! You basically choose your route through the castle. Let's not forget the amazing soundtrack. The boss fights, however, need mentioning do to their either very easy or very hard state. Dracula (the final boss) is a cakewalk, but don't let that determine your purchase. The game itself is of medium length, but the amount of extra stuff to do allowed me to clock in around 30 hours on my first run (most time was spent exploring and training, the game takes maybe 15 hours). Needless to say, I still play the game, 4 years from it's release! Buy immediately!
If you want a slower-paced game based on the animated series, try the SNES version. It doesn't let you play as Robin, but it has more depth and . . . wait a minute!! I'm not reviewing the SNES version!!!
If your a sadistic person you can kill as many mudokons (and the rest) as long as you can progress. One of my favourite deaths has to be leading about five mudokuns with a running start and suddenly stopping while they all fall into a hole filled with guillotines and fleeches (leech body, crocodile mouth). And even the basic kills of slapping them to death is very satisfying.
There are also the customary 108 characters that are collected through out the game. Some are support characters that will add functions to your army and dimensions to your base castle, and most of them are playable characters that you can use in battle. Each of the characters, even if shortly introduced, are memorable and full of dimensions that are sometimes established with only a few short sentences. Even in such situations, the characters are rich with life making this perhaps the best cast in any suikoden game. Each character is animated in an anime-esque style, which makes sense it being a japanese game. Even if you are not a fan of the style of art it is the perfect face for the game when you see it all together.
If you own a N64, then I would recommend you purchasing this came. Avoid the DS remake if possible.
As an endnote, I just really hope that Square makes another game like this for PS2, and not a simplified, 'kiddish' version for the gameboy. Final Fantasy Tactics is an amazing game and they need to make an amazing part 2!
2890 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here it is, final fantasy seven, the seventh installment of one of the greatest franchises. This piece of art is one of my favorites and chills my soul and memories like no other, like a dark adventure of spooky fantasy and introspective sorrow, a lasting impression i won't forget. The one that got me into the franchise. from the environments of steam punk, industrial fantasy to the structures of imagined forests to it's direction and haunting yet hopeful premise, this adventure rocks. it goes into topics of self identities, dealing with losses, truths and corruption, this final dark illusive fantasy will leave you in shock, wonder and discovery. it's story is a grand dark and light one of sorrow, hope and illusions. the story reminds me of the teen days of emotions and pressure. The music by nobuo is one of his best, if not the best to me. It's loaded with soaring melodic orchestra with electronic sounds and some rock. the battle system is amazing too. you gather orbs of materia that you can mix with others. If you add all with a magic it will cast it to all enemies. You have a limit break gauge that builds up from attacks, when you have enough points, you can use one of many cool looking animated moves. a eye opener of reality and self. they say video games aren't educational but they are, especially this one and all the final fantasies. It is one of my biggest inspirations.
1. The story and the soundtrack are awesome. I really enjoyed the soundtrack this time more then last time because I guess I am older and I feel what the music is expressing with the characters, and the mood of the situation as well.
If you can find this game used at a exchange store for 5 dollars nowdays then I would buy it, thankfully I only rented it and the guide, rather than pay 50 bucks for this game when it first came out, you should do the same.
-Great Gameplay.
Joining them is Aerith Gainsborough, best know for being the Final Fantasy chick who dies. Aerith is a flower girl from the slums who also happens to be the very last of the Ancients-- until she is murdered by Sephiroth. Though she is fully dedicated to AVALANCHE's new cause, Aerith seems a lot more interested in her passive-aggressive duel with Tifa for Cloud's affections, which she loses by default when she dies. Her affection for Cloud party stems from his peculiar resemblance to her old boyfriend Zack, who is dead, just like Aerith is by the end of the first disc. Unfortunately, Aerith never finds out the full story behind Cloud and Zack, because Sephiroth runs his sword through her guts before it comes to light. Before she dies, Aerith sets a plot device in motion that becomes the Planet's only hope for stopping Meteor. And then she dies.
3571 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Dreamcast was (is) a good system. t's only fault was arriving when it did--either too late or too early. It has a sleek and quasi-'futuristic' look. The controller is a bit blocky, and not as smooth as the Playstation. The memory cards are huge and 'chunky' and don't do that great of a job, at least not compared to other systems. But the most important element to a game system are the games. I've never been a huge fan of Sega games or their systems. But one thing I noticed about the Dreamcast is that the sports games they have are generally some of the better games in their genre and are quite fun. And Crazy Taxi plays well on the Dreamcast. I wouldn't recommend the Dreamcast as your first or only system (but since it is discontinued, I guess I don't have to worry about that), but if you come across one used for a reasonable deal, it does make a nice system to add to the one you already have in place.
3399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Dreamcast is awesome. Here is why:
20 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good game
Super Metroid's graphical appeal has sustained a frontal assault--Metroid Fusion saw to this--and when we look at what's left it would be easy to predict that it doesn't hold up well. After all, in a few significant ways this may be called the graphical update of the original Famicom Disk System game from 1986, back before Samus had blonde hair and back before the word Metroid was seen by English speakers (the next year Metroid would appear on the NES) she was fighting the same bosses, after all, using the same powerups and going through some levels that would look strangely familiar in 1994.
- The Genesis version has choppier framerate issues. Granted, it's not BAD or poses a distraction by any means, but compared to the superior Super NES version, you can't help but notice it. It's remarkable to me how well the Super NES version holds up over the years based on the smooth framerate alone.
I think the only flaw in the game was that there was not enough lives to play simultaneously against the computer with no passwords and limited continues. The first player game is fabulous I would rate that a 10.
4197 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a retro game - no way around it.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is basically point-and-click. You look at objects. You explore areas. You solve a lot of puzzles (mostly of the extremely difficult brain teaser variety rather than the "find this item and use it here" type). Why anyone would lock their door with some horribly difficult puzzle that takes half an hour to solve is beyond me, but it's all part of the game. An extra bit worth noting is that the game actually allows you to watch music videos by your friends on television sets. The band, in all their infinite wisdom, decided to play detective and place clues to various puzzles in their music videos (haven't I seen this cartoon?). Not only are the music videos enjoyable to watch, but piecing together solutions to the clues with them and various other hints around town adds a bit of immersiveness to the game. Another touch of immersiveness comes from the fact that throughout the game, you yourself are playing detective. You actually search for personal info about the various people of the town and get to know them and study their interactions in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery and figure out the identity of the wacko in the stupid mask who may or may not be behind everything. It's not an easy task, though.. You'll likely need a notebook (and possibly a walkthrough) by your side and a significant amount of time to solve all of the puzzles and the mystery (although you can cheat and have the puzzles solve themselves at the cost of some points in your score)..
The game actually takes place on two levels, the first is the strategic map which is turn based and is where you recruit units, gather resources, explore and build your empire. The next level is the tactical battlefield where your forces battle in real time engagements. Of the two the second is by far the most fun as the first is very slow going even if you have multiple scout units running around.
The third item on the list has to do with a brief cameo. In the Rose Town Inn, you can see Link sleeping in one of the beds.
I bought this game when it first came out because I was stupidly riding on the success of the Mortal Kombat series at the time. I was very naive (all my friends were right!)
of Auto-Battling, you can go ahead during the next turn and command your healer

You are sent out on a mission to try to find out what the evil Datadyne corporation is up to. The game pushes the n64 hardware to the max, which is the reason for some minor slowdown.

9948 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Phantasy Star II was the best RPG of its generation. The seemingly simple game by Sega introduced complex, party-based combat to a generation of Genesis owners who missed the original Phantasy Star on the Sega Master System. PSII featured turn-based combat in which you could see your character carrying out the action you had ordered. This simple feature made combat extremely entertaining, and provided incentive to get new weapons and abilities. Watching Rolf, the protagonist, run up to a dragon and deliver a vicious slash with his laser sword is one of my favorite gaming memories.
Game play wise this game is very similar to the previous final fantasys IV-VI with the active time battle. This makes the battles a lot more fun as you can not scroll threw everything all day and get a shower before you make your move. With that being said you do have some time before making a move but you do have to be careful. Anyway this is on of the more easier final fantasys although it is still challenging none of the final fantasys (while maybe 13) are casual friendly and this is no different there is a learning curve however if you don't play games much and are sucked into this on you will learn it eventually. Just might have to start over a time or to.
"Altered Beast" may not be "Pac Man" or even "Sonic" but it's still an awesome game that should not be forgotten.
6418 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For any of you history buffs out there this is the game for you. Not only is the the gameplay easy to follow and understand the visuals and sounds are great. The campaign modes are actually fun to play! Whats up with that? The game is real easy to pick up and the many different difficulty settings alows you to get better slowly not get frustrated and bite you mouse in half.
2. The interface is easy to use and fits the fast-paced gameplay very well. There are hotkeys for three potions, five spells, and two weapons.
Stay with me for a minute though. That's not to say the game is perfect. Final Fantasy VII is not the Citizen Kane of video games. There are games out there with better stories and better characters. And in terms of gameplay, it's certainly not the best JRPG ever made, either. One could argue that the party size's reduction from four to three members streamlines the battle system, but a pessimist (or purist) might call it a detrimental simplification. After all, the last time a Final Fantasy game made the leap to a new, more powerful platform (Final Fantasy IV), they increased the party size and introduced the ATB mechanic. The only thing this game's battle system introduces are Limit Breaks, and those aren't even really new. The Materia system is a dumbed-down retooling of Final Fantasy VI's Magicite/Relic setup, and helps to make Final Fantasy VII the only installment aside from III to make differences between party members virtually nonexistent. In the first and fourth games, characters were set apart by the skills and attributes tied to their classes, which could sometimes be upgraded but never changed. Party members in the second and fifth installments start out virtually identical, but gradually evolved into distinct characters with exclusive capabilities as the game commences. Final Fantasy VI combines these two approaches by pairing set character classes with Magicite and Relics. In Final Fantasy VII, however, Limit Breaks are the ONLY major difference between characters, and with a few exceptions, most of them do the same thing.
Anyways, enough about bad reviews. This is the first game i played when i got my very first playstation so long ago when they were just coming out. I wasn't a gamer then, but this game turned me into one. Final Fantasy 7 must be the best game i have ever played. If you think about it, the games graphics were amazing considering the time it was introduced. I am still amazed today with the battle effects and cut scenes. Simply exceptional. The gameplay, well, to say in short, is wonderful. The game does an excellent job drawing the player into the storyline, and making the player FEEL like he or she is part of the game. I must have replayed this game over 30 times, each time finding new things. The FMV sequences are amazing, and cannot be beaten. There are too many people that state the game has bad graphics; the final fantasy series in itself has always had a cartoonish side to things, so i do not understand why anyone would say the graphics are bad. Sure we all have our playstation 2's and saw how amazing Final Fantasy X looked, but keep in mind the time Final Fantasy 7 was brought out. Also, the music is amazing. When Aeris died, the situation and music almost made me cry. Then the battle afterwards, had you so mad, that you felt like pummeling Genova with everything you had. Which is what most did.
6135 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nice collectors item.
Overall Graphics - Better than the old Hitman games but nothing at all like cut scenes. Don't confuse cut scenes in the trailers as gameplay.
Overall, i did give this a full 5 star rating only because i still think this game is the best, despite its problems. And for those who haven't yet check out Crisis Core as well, great prequel to this game.
The game has you taking the role of Aladdin (Duh) As he races through Agrabah, seeking to save the Princess Jasmine. Throughout his at times frustrating quest, he must jump through the cave of wonders, run through the streets of Agrabah, outrun lava boulders in a frustratingly difficult and exciting level, and take on Jaffar in a epic confrentation at the end of the game.
4225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yep, as the title goes, the game is like drugs to kids and teenagers. Just like to warn parents and potential buyers.
Being *extremely* similar to Goldeneye (another Rareware game on the N64 that still sells well), this game is not only fun for its involving and often humorous plotline, but also for its ridiculously fun multiplayer capabilities. Going head to head with your friends is fun, but the fun adds up even more when you see the new gaming modes Rare has added in. Veterans of the genre will recognize themes like "capture the flag" and "king of the hill". In addition, the option to play "counter-op" is included - where one player takes on the role of the heroine and the other player takes control of the enemies in pretty much any of the single player missions.
In essence it plays alot like the first Zelda only with infinitely better graphics. The dungeons are huge and challenging and fun, the bosses fun to beat, the weapons and magical items are cool, the side quests are fun. This game really doesnt go wrong anywhere at all.
3059 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't know where to even begin my praises for FF7 because everything about it is exceptional. The graphics are probably the first thing one should notice. The characters look much like blocks of polygons, but the backgrounds are sweeping and beautiful and the FM7's are seamless. The music is orchestral and extremely emotional -- Aeris's theme is my favorite, but one can't forget One Winged Angel, which really heightened the feeling of the final battle.
The sound is pretty good: the character(s) can eavesdrop on conversations and engage in conversations with striking clarity, to name but a few features. Although the voices come out crystal clear, the actual sound of the voices is quite terrible. Tim Curry (of Rocky Horror fame) is the voice of Gabriel Knight, and his feigned southern drawl quickly becomes irritating. Grace's voice is average, as are some of the other characters, and the script can sometimes be quite terrible. None of the characters, despite how life-threatening the predicament, seem to realise just how endangered they are. Gabriel even goes so far as to wisecrack when a razor-sharp pendulum is about to chop his head off.
While it's hardly the best game you can find on the market, it's certainly unique.

Zelda Ocarina of Time
CONs:
The soundtrack is even better than that in the first game. Aside from having more levels and therefore more music tracks, a good deal of the music on here is better than in the first game. Standout tracks on here are for Chemical Plant, Aquatic Ruin, Casino Night, Mystic Cave, Metropolis, Sky Chase, Wing Fortress, and Death Egg. Death Egg is the perfect music to hear when you're in a high-tech spacecraft. Mystic Cave is worth mentioning because the opening melody is really reminiscent of the Inspector Gadget theme, and that the music itself is pretty creepy. Casino Night and Sky Chase have really relaxed, upbeat feelings to them.
4094 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Me and my dad play this game together but I never got into playing 1 player by myself. I downloaded Team Fortress Classic, and this game is instantly transformed in to THE GR8TEST GAME OF ALL. TFC is the best multiplayer MOD ever! You get to duke it out while being a medic, soldier, sniper, Heavy Weapons guy, Demolition man, and a SPY! I have never seen another game so addictive and innovative. I would buy this game just for Mutltiplayer! You should buy this game, this game makes you proud to own. The story so cool, the fragging so great! All the reviews are true this is the GAME OF THE YEAR but I think this is the GAME OF THE CENTURY.
4698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I baught this game for the second time, and i was hooked!... i would play this game for at least 8 hours a day, completely neglecting everything not involved with the game, i'm not kidding. And now, the Pros!!!!
NBA Jam 2000
Even five years after it's release I still can't praise this game enough. Graphically the game is very out-of-date by today's standards, but one must realize the game's graphics were out-of-date the minute FFVII flexed it's polygonal mucsles only a few months later. If your rating how good an RPG is by it's graphics, then you are not a true RPG fan in any way, shape, or form.
It's a surprisingly long game, although it didn't take too long to beat. It also has great replay value, and I enjoy it now just as much as I did when I first purchased it. Throughout the game, and as you advance through the various courses, you will be able to implement the money you earn to purchase better parts for your particular pod racer. As you advance, you'll also be able to select more powerful (and occasionally weaker) pods to test out. Run through each of them, and see which fits you best. It might be the difference between coming out on top, or being involved in the biggest explosion since the Death Star!
7675 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great classic gam
I've changed my mind about Super Mario World and actually think it deserves 4 stars. I was just in a bad mood when I originally gave the game a 2-star rating. It turns out Super Mario World is not just a game you can enjoy growing up in the early 90's. It actually has a lot of replay value and years later our children can enjoy Super Mario World the same way WE did.
The Bad: Flimsy stealth, some levels are confusing, a little short
This game is a definite challenge for the player. The game structure is defined by challenge levels and the boss battle at the end of each "world", which sounds pretty formulatic, but you won't even care once you start playing the game.
4633 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember the first FALLOUT game sat on my shelf for a long time b/c a friend, who had lent it to me, told me it was a post nuclear holocast world. Personally, it sounded too grim so I didn't check it out for months.
6563 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't play video games much but I have some of the clasics. For any RPG fan this is a must have especially if you like the old school 1 and 2D types of layouts. Colorful and simple but not as simple as say Mystic Quest the baby RPG of yesterday decade. Great gift as well.
9182 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Well, I guess the title for this review should essentially sum up the game. This game featured some of the greatest names in pro wrestling in the late 80's and early 90's. Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Hawk and Animal The Legion of Doom, Earthquake and Typhoon the Natural Disasters, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and Sid Justice make up quite an impressive roster for a wrestling game made during that era. I will concede that Bret "The Hitaman" Hart not being in the game is kind of a snub, but it does not matter since the game is lousy.

1820 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spyro is the most amazing game I think I've ever played on the Ps1!!!! Graphics are outstanding for its time, and the gameplay is just so fun and enjoyable. The controls are really smooth, the story line is great, the levels are well made and designed, enemies are interesting and well created. Simply, this is a great game all around. I can definitely say this is one game I'm never ever selling/getting rid of again (can't remember what I did with it years ago). I never actually beat it years ago, I never really even made it half way through the second world. But I bought it again (at a rather high price due to rarity of a complete copy) and finally beat it after years. Love this game so much, worth every penny!!!!
9504 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is really cool. I liked it very much. This is my type of game and the graphics are pretty cool too. I just don't understand why they made the Blue Ranger so Dorky. But it is still a cool character. and the special power move is cool to. this is a must have game
2356 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I consider this as an rpg and I'm not sure how many times I've played this game but its my favorite game of all time.
Finally, the biggest problem. The second castle in the game is just the first castle turned upside down, so it's not really a new castle. Now that's what I call clumsy. Between the smutty actions of Maria and the blood all over the place, it feels like I'm watching a porno blood fest. Not a pretty thought, is it? So as you can see, many problems prevent this game from being a classic. Don't even think about buying it.

If you want to play a great game that is all about combat, dig in. But if you want to play a thoughtfully put together RPG with a complex storyline and depth of character, try one of the excellent games by Black Isle Studios (Baldur's Gate, Torment, Icewind Dale, etc.) Me, I like both.

Superb voice acting filled with great and detailed cut scenes.
7674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Nintendo game of the past. Sadly I had to give the system and game away!
the main character ... she's got a tail (laughs) and she is very neat to have around.
The graphics are wonderful, and they really give the gamer the New York subway feel which kinda creeped me out. The most distinct and amazing feature in Max Payne is Max's special power. Bulletime allows Max to alter time, much as in the movie Matrix. Although Max's enemies bullets slow to a snail's pace his fire normally giving him an edge. Bullettime is limited however, and this is not a bad thing because too much of a good thing is bad and would make this fantastic game too easy to complete.
2729 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you are looking for story as the driving force behind an RPG, then this is a game you will enjoy. Lunar doesn't rely on graphics or amazing sound. It relies on the strength of its storyline. The graphics are the type you'd find on an older system, which makes sense because this game was originally released on the Sega-CD. This comes with two bonus CD's. One is a soundtrack, which is nothing to be excited about since the music isn't something you'd want to listen to outside of the game, but is a nice touch. The other is a making of CD that was rather interesting because you get to see how much the people who made this game were into it and cared about the finished product.
The battling system is as normal as any other Final Fantasy. You attack the enemy they attack you, heal, and use magic, all of those good things. At least they don't have the same boss music over and over. Some of the bosses even have dialog in your battles, nothing too major just a grunt or two about how they don't like you and they think that they are going to win the battle. The magic is the basic elements plus your non elementals. There are summons to use which have extraordinary graphics, and a lot of them are just cool looking. The bosses have certain types of skills that you can use by getting a certain "Materia" called enemy skill, all you have to do is wait for them to use the move and your character absorbs the move into there little Materia for later use. The Materia is what contains your magic and special techniques. It can have magic all the way to your little friends called the summons. Each of the first couple of summons they are elemental too, such as Ifrit, he is a fire based monster. Along with Shiva whom is an Ice based monster. They all have their own special "move" that will help you in each of your battles.
When I heard about the Aladdin game being released, I wanted it immediately. So I first stumbled across the Sega Genesis version of this game. Aladdin was wielding a sword and the game was essentially a hack-and-slash with a slightly high level of difficulty. It's still one of my favorite games of all time. A few years later I came across the SNES version of the game and I have to say that I was a little disappointed with this version. It's a good game and it's fun but something was missing.
On the standard game "A" level you can choose between starting at levels 0-9 after that the blocks just increase speed past level 9. You basically play for a highest score but the longer you play the bigger rocket you get past 10,000 points. So if you break the 10,000 barrier you get a small white rocket, 15,000 a little bigger black and white rocket, 20,000 look like an ICBM. 25,000 you get a big huge black rocket which is pretty cool. You just need to adjust to the speed of the falling blocks.

7528 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Batman Forever is a perplexing experience all on its own. The original film, released in 1995 is one of the more divisive films in the entire franchise (it's neither universally loved nor universally hated). Being a bit more kid friendly, light hearted and trying to be fun. It's surprising then, that the video game doesn't even try to be fun or entertaining. Batman Forever is a boring and monotonous game that came out in a time when creating video games based off movies were not always good... but they weren't exactly bad. As a film Batman Forever is probably an okay outing. As a video game it's a great cure for insomnia and a good lesson on how not to create a game.

Translation is not so bad. It has some mishap which makes some section sound downright silly, but overall translation is well done if not brilliant. Voice acting is well... I wish there was option to turn it off. Luckily I got used to it by 15th hour, but Precis' voice is horrible.
This game can be really hard in some spots, but generally you are facing mindless zombies. The bosses in the game can be a really intricate challenge if you're not smart about ammo. That's another thing, keeping up with ammo on the harder modes becomes a huge challenge. You want to save ammo for a really hard enemy, but there are tons of zombies.
Emerald Hill- 7/10: Okay, it is a Green Hill Zone remake. I still prefer Green Hill Zone or Angel Island to this level, but it is a good design. The theme was rather weak, and THE FIGHT WITH EGGMAN WAS THE FUNNIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. He swoops down and gets in a bulldozer and tries to run over Sonic. It only took 5 seconds for the tires to pop off while Eggman tried to retreat. I guess Emerald Hill was okay, but I've seen better.
2485 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 a great game for 2 or more players. when i first played this game, it was really fun an challenging. after a while though it gets boring. if you play it alot it gets too easy and its not as fun anymore. if your going to play it you really need at least 2 players
Everything still works. The case is complete with (bootlegged) manual, and the games play fine in my OG PSX console, but I didn't want no dirty, illegal software when I paid for this so it gets one star. Do yourself a favor and get a good used copy, but be careful, these pirated copies have proliferated Amazon's used store and eBay.
It's not difficult to install - you simply plug it in once and it stays there permanently. You can still play older games with it in place. If you're paying $60 for games, why not pay out for this expansion that will make them all play better, and give you access to the newer games?
If you think (or know) you can take that responsibility, then I suggest that you buy this game along with the N64 (if you don't have one) and experience something very special. Like I said, it's a definite Classic and will keep you entertained for hours on end! You won't regret it!

14. Zelda 64: Stuck with the trend of mini-games, four heart pieces to make a heart, and extra things to do.
One of Final Fantasy VII's outspoken messages is that a post-industrial society like Midgar's (which isn't such a far cry from the cities of today) is degrading to the human spirit. Midgar is spreading. The blight to the land inflicted by its Mako reactors creeps outwards, and Shinra's economic and technological influence is changing civilization. The old ways of life are dying out as more people adopt Mako technology and conform to Shinra's ways. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, technology's role in human life continues to grow unchecked, and a whole lot of people are getting concerned about the globalization trend. If there's a point Final Fantasy VII is making somewhere at the heart of its labyrinthine story, it's that such developments are not in people's best interests. Once again, this isn't the kind of statement you'd expect from a video game back in 1997, especially coming from the folks whose company name you probably last saw stamped on Secret of Evermore and Super Mario RPG.
7011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works good
3738 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really like this product. It has a good looking. And also it has a pretty good size. I really like this product.
Onto the meat of this review..What do I think of Final Fantasy VII?? First and foremost, it is quite an achievement in the RPG genre. It was the RPG where players found themselves in a three-dimensional world that, after playing the game, they actually felt like they'd went on an epic journey. It's the only game other than Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time where I ever felt that way. It was also the first RPG to really evoke some emotion out of me. The characters weren't two-dimensional, they had character and you could invest in that. It helped set the standard for all other RPGs to follow to this day. Too bad, though, you hardly see traditional turn-based RPGs like these anymore. Sure, you may on the Nintendo DS and the Sony Playstation Portable but not much on any of the console systems these days. While it may seem dated in a time when everything is in 3-D and not 3-D on prerendered backgrounds, it still stands the test of time. The story holds up as well, even if it is a little hard to figure things out at times. The battles are engaging and the game is just fun! While I won't say it's my most favorite FF game; it's one of the games that got me hooked on RPGs. There's never a shortage of good things that can be said about this game.
- The GD Rom itself is prone to disc read errors after a length in time. Some say that the Durability of the system is not great. (Will update this later)
320 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great extension cable. Quality is solid and range is decent.
2957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I realized how much I sucked at RPG's when I beat this game purely by chance but I still love it and think it's one of the best games in the franchise. The graphics are horrible but being a game from 1997, you can't really expect them to look much better than the Picasso cubic figures that they are. The animation scenes are fantastic though but that leads me to believe that had they gone to a four disc format like VIII, the gameplay graphics would have been enhanced a great deal. The story is great and just like the other FF titles, the underlying messages are pretty powerful as well. The Final Fantasy games don't just serve an entertainment purpose but they also try to tell you about important things in the world and life.
Seventh, there's no more Apocalypse spell. Apocalypse was a cool spell that should not have been removed.
Next boss shot with and egg until it splits up enough to the poin that the enlarge yoke is destroy this guy I think shout multiple eggs at the same times the exact damagage resitance is not clear because he does it so fast.
9021 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Aside from this game having great graphics, it's fun playing with two people, and cool being able to tag the other person in while the other follows. Player one is usually Donkey Kong, player 2 is Diddy Kong, and you travel through the jungle to defeat the Kremlings and take back your banana hoard! You can even ride animals to get you through obstacles faster. I haven't gotten too far, but (although it gets a little frustrating at times) the game is very fun and one of the best games for the SNES.
33 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overall this is a well done racing game, with very good graphics for its time period. My family has has enjoyed playing it a great deal. I personally think a steering wheel controller is almost a necessity for this game, but an x box type controller would probably work. The keyboard would be almost impossible, and not very fun. The "windows live" system detracts greatly, since you must log in and be online to play or save game progress. There was a mees up with my "Live" log in and the game would no longer accept my activation code and I had to rebuy the game if I wanted to play. There is no customer support at all. Dirt 2 suffers from this serious flaw as well. 4 1/2 star game 1 star Windows Live feature.
6151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Go to pro goods store; even if you have to spend a lot of money compared to the used N64 consoles, they are guaranteed to send a working consol with everything you need. That way you don't have to buy everything in parts from different people, trust me you don't want to deal with what I had to deal with. It took me a month and 4 days just to play the games I want to play because it takes so long to buy, wait for shipping, and repeat with every piece plus the game. Just buy the new consol from this store, get all the parts you want and have some games on the way at the same time, it will he worth the money.
3. Do you enjoy freedom in your game playing? Final Fantasy, though often linear in story, always allows for what has quickly become known as side-quests and mini-games. It allows you to divert yourself from the main story should you ever find yourself in need of a break or even a more fulfilling gameplay. Though it is true that you certainly could play all the way through ignoring any side-quests and mini-games, but most fans would agree that they add a broader and more fulfilling gaming experience.
It's interesting to see how Nintendo has come full circle, evolving to something like the Nintendo 64 and in some ways digressing back to it's origins with games like New Super Mario Bros U, which is much like Super Mario Bros for SNES but with updated graphics and a few more tweaks.

9870 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I'm rather baffled by all the positive reviews for this game. I bought it a couple months ago after reading all the good reviews and thinking this game must be a shining gem that has withstood the test of time. Well, now I'm rethinking that assumption... No doubt many people will disagree with me, but on with the review!
You owe it to yourself to pick up the Best game in the entire Super Nintendo library. If you find it in a store for cheap, Do Not Let It Get Away!
1044 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love all the Mario Kart games, this one has some of the coolest tracks. Yoshi Valley is the best track I've ever played and the graphics are pretty good too. Small selection of characters (if you've got the one for Gamecube) but still a blast. Awesome 1 player or multiplayer game, a must have for parties! Good anytime and that's hard to find.
Sound: 9/10 - Fantastic! Not too much of this comes from the cars themselves, but the groovy soundtrack, great commentator and crashing sounds give this baby a boost!
wonderful
9332 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Old skool game. I've had it forever. No collection is complete without it! I may go play it here in a minute! Actually no, but it was a great game. I enjoyed it. STill working on Oracle of Ages! Too fun. Zelda has lots of puzzles and mazes!
Its still a load of fun and can be a challenge at first to get a perfect rating and unlock secret items. Replay value is pretty darn good. You might get tired of it after beating it with both ninjas, but you will get a taste for it some time later. This game will not sit in a closet. Many PS2 games sit in my closet, but this dated PS1 game is in my PS2 right now.
automatic pistols, harpoon gun, rocket launcher, M16 rifle, Uzis, shotguns, flares and more!
454 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 the cd worked for about 4 days and then...BAM!! it was skipping like crazy, it froze wen i picked Jack-2 or Kunimitsu,and now it won't come on at all. IT WAS A PRETTY CRAPPY COPY

2040 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Mario Party is a must, as previous mentioned in the title, for any retro gamer and collector of classics. Those of you who have played Mario Party 8 or 9 for the Wii can now see the humble beginnings of this popular series of hit family games.
If you are looking for a great adventure game or want to get the newest DK title, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble is the game to get for your Super Nintendo.
3427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 has never failed me yet. i have beaten all the games i got for it and it still works like new.
8337 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I give Donkey Kong Land a rating of 4 out of 5.
4532 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love this game. playing it over and over again
Mission designs seems to have been a priority at Origin, because they are expertly crafted and bear much resemblance to Freespace 2, and lack the time-sensitive nature that plagued many of the X-Wing & TIE Fighter missions from LucasArts. I also retract my title comment in my Freespace 2 review-Wing Commander: Prophecy is as good a game. The missions take priority over the cut scenes, the post flight ones become annoyingly repetitive, as there are only 2 or 3 to see and you see them often. Beyond that this is Origin's swan song as there doesn't seem to be any movement from them to sequel it beyond Secret Ops which only adds new missions, good as they are. This is a fantastic game-it both looks and plays great while possessing a solid and engrossing story. Superb!
In addition, interface, multiplayer, hardware reqs and overall replay value all go to UT. This game looks good with or without a video card and even on my 330 MHZ PII w/128 SDRAM it looked good (thanks to my Creative Anihilator Pro video card) Everything about this game has been made as slick as can be. Sure, ID may be the deathmatch king, but with games like Quake III, they better make way for GT and UT!
Best Story line in a game
There are several different types of play in the game. You can play by yourself in tournament mode, in head-to-head mode against the computer or other golfers, in ring mode, speed mode, or in mini-golf.
-Alot of people today or in the future may get this game and probably nag about how easy the bosses are well cry me a river, if you want a hardboss go play something els....other then that get ready to play one of the best games ever...
Don't buy the Disc version, as it doesn't include the patch needed to run on anything past windows ME. The patched version still suffers from crashing, however.
The Bad:
~Dan~
6872 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I haven't played this game since I was very little, and it was wonderful to be able to re-experience the magic. Great game, and arrived in the promised condition.
470 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game realeased in 1997 (I think), was the first in the Klonoa series (which includles a few more games in Japan), and was defenently a "sleeper-masterpeice" for PSone. This game however feels a little bit different than the other games in this series, though I'm not excatly sure why. I think the main reasons it feels so different are: the graphics, the story line, the music, and the character differnces. Graphicaly wise, you can tell it's older, but the graphics have a certain charm to them. The few out-of-engine motion scenes though, are magnificent! However, the graphic style is drasticaly different from it's sequels. The plot is overall, a little more "classic fantasyish" and feels kinda like something you might read in a book (which is probably what they were aiming at since it has a "book theme"). It has a bit of a melancholy feel to it; which makes it feel slightly more intense than it's sequals. Actually, I think it's the best story of any of the Klonoa games. As for the ending, I loved it! Sad and moving without being overly sad. I think it's my favorite vidoe game ending! The BGM is a different style than Lunatea's Veil also, (It's PS2 sequal) less solemn and RPG like, and a little more lively, or something, not really sure what the word is, it fits the game well. What I mean by character differneces is that it has no familiar characters other than Klonoa and Huepow. Klonoa, however, is quite different than in his sequels. Dispite these differences, the gameplay is practicaly clone-copy of the others in the series, esspecial Lunatea's Veil. From what I have heard, many people that played this were dissapointed with the sequel. I think that it was probably because they were used to this style and didn't give it much of a chance (personaly, I was dissapointed with THIS game at first, then started to really like it after I got used to it). Anyway, bottom line is, that if you've played all the other Klonoa games, expect this one to be a little different, but defenently get it, if you enjoyed the others, you'll enjoy this! If you haven't played any of the other games in this great series, it's based on engaging gameplay with simplistic controls. This game is one of the few "2.5D" games in existance. It plays parellel to a 2D game (people still hanging onto their old copies of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 or Mario Bros. should try this). In this game, however, you are in a 3D environment (don't worry, the paths are clearly defined, you won't have any trouble figuring out where you can and can't go). You can interact with the background by throwing things into it, this is esspecially key in some bosses, This is the 2.5D part. There are 12 levels (not counting the final boss)in this game, plus an unlockable time attack level. This game is pretty easy, and if your looking for an extreamly hard, nail biting, challenge, this probably isn't for you. This is more of a fun, relaxing game. However, I love this game, and recommend it to all who own a Playstation!
Interesting enough, the reason Capcom did not make this game for the Genesis was because the license to make games based on Disney movies had just expired and Virgin Interactive stepped in to make it for Sega. That game turned out to be totally different and received positive reviews and feedback from players. You can't go wrong with either version. But for those who want to check out the SNES version, it's worth buying it for young players but it may not hold the interest of older gamers long enough.
Storyline: 9.5/10
1882 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked this game. In my mind this really isn't a Kids game though. to beat the game 100% actually requires alot of time and effort. Its more the type of game you can play and kids will watch. The controls are pretty easy. its basically MARIO but your a crocodile exploring diffrent levels, theres really nothing groundbreaking.
955 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I have the wii version and is HORRIBLE. JUST LIKE YOU HIT AN OPPONENT WITH A SHELL, PASS, AND WITH NO ITEM, THE CPU BOOSTS WAY AHAED. HORRIBLE
5459 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been trying to remember this game for such a long time. I could never remember what it was called. I'm writing this review based on hazy memories of my childhood. I would play this for hours with my dad and It was so much fun! I plan on buying a PS1, and I will definitely be getting this game along with it! I recommend it for people who enjoy playing these type of games, particularly in co-op.
The game is divided in chapters, 5 for each kind of character you are going to control (mecc, reaper, Kabuto) and the missions are interesting and fortunately not too easy.
1404 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was a very fun game. You basicly go to a castle and you jump into a paintings.. each one leading you into a different world... and in every world... you have to find 7 stars... (one of em is the 100 coin star where you need to collect 100 coins then it pops up it's the hardest star to get)there's 16 worlds in all... most worlds take hours to complete so this game well be well worth it.. This game right here is history... It's one of Nintendo's biggest hits... and when you buy this game you'll soon find out why:)
2086 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I remember playing this game back around 1996. I was nearly 12 years old when I first played this game and I thought, at the time, this was a really cool game. I really like the Alien movies (mainly the first and second one) and I was fairly excited to play any game based on my favorite movie.
-Boring intro, the first 2 hours will have you sleeping -Character development is a tad slow in the first disc -You seem to get stuck even more than in FFVII, it's a game you have to keep working to beat.
2530 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome reformatting and bonus games! It even came with a cartridge case.
What is it exactly? You plop Sonic 2 on top to play as Knuckles in Sonic 2! Plop Sonic 3 on to combine the two games together! Sonic 1 on top unlocks Blue Sphere, a game made out of Sonic 3 Special Stages.
The final thing: Crystals, Gems, Colored Gems, and Relics
Sound- 100/100 Perfect. Just flawless. There isn't much of an actual soundtrack, but the music is incredibly atmospheric and will make you feel like you are Solid Snake, infiltrating a nuclear base. The voice-overs are the best I have ever seen in a video game. Solid Snakes voice over is perfect, and just about everyone elses fits their personality and there image. Otacon's fits him perfectly, so do Meryl's and Liquid Snake's.
Stage 1: Smooth Criminal
because it is very well written and worth experiencing in full for yourself.)

1068 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first heard of a Mario Kart game comming out for Nintendo 64 I was overjoyed to realize that they would keep up on such an awesome Super Nintendo game. To my amazment, the game came to the 64 with nothing but crisp graphics and pre-rendered characters abound. However, where there comes the good side of all this, there is a bad side; some of the characters in the game, in fact, cheat to win. Now I'm not sure why this little feature was allowed, perhaps to make it more challenging or give us more reason to throw the controller at the wall when Mario suddenly jumps out in front of you. However, you can master there cheating ways by learning how to outwit them at their own game. Find shortcuts and other things that can aid you in your race for the finish. From cheating to graphics and music I must say that the graphics are quite impressive for such a game made so early on. The music is also amazing, with hummable tunes that will get you in the mood to race, or the mood to hit Wario off the side of a moutain just to here him scream. The sure thing to do now is to buy the game, because it is a classic and always will be.
Released in 1997 on a tidal wave of publicity, rumours (remember the memory card debate??) and expectations, Final fantasy 7 took people's preconceptions of the genre and utterly redefined them. Gone were the traditional top-down viewpoints, the 1-dimensional characters, and the boring spell effects, and we watched in amazement at hitherto-unparalleled graphics and a completely revolutionary storyline showed us exactly how good a RPG could be. Winning legions of new fans over to the genre, FF 7 fully deserved it's blockbusting, best-selling status.
It turns out that they're not at all. It has the most intuitive controls of all the systems and it places the shoulder buttons underneath the hand grips where they belong. ....
8642 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love all of the sonic games on the genesis and this game is a bit hard to beat but its alot of fun
8576 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great overall!
Most people have said that this game was the scariest of all the RE games. I'm not sure I agree with that, but the atmosphere can be quite chilling at certain points. I suppose that the dogs breaking through the glass windows could've scared newbees to the series, but since I was introduced through RE2 and the fact that I've already played the MUCH freakier Silent Hill games, the original didn't scare me nearly as much as it should have. To the game's credit though, it does present the most puzzles, and a majority of them are real brain-benders. It's something that the series started to get away from as time went on. Plus, I thought that the game itself felt larger than all the others in the series, so it will take a while for new players to beat it. The challenge is also very high since there is very limited ammo to take out the creatures with. Even veteran RE fanatics still find the first game to be thoroughly challenging enough to come back for more.
I would recomend the game to anyone over the age of 13
The challenge is fairly high overall because even regular enemies are no pushovers and require a fair bit of clever thinking to take care of them, but nothing you can't handle with patience. The 3rd person view where you're running towards the TV screen swerving left to right and avoiding wild animals charging from behind while having to jump over rocks ahead is a VERY hard but brief segment, as is a certain log climbing part involving a waterfall. Seriously, why can't the logs be positioned the LONG (lengthy) way instead of the narrow opposite way? Would make the jumps so much more bearable. The final level is a mountainous cave puzzle level which can be quite difficult and confusing with animal danger everywhere.
1535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The beginning of the told and retold history but love the series!

In Time Trial mode you race in any course from the Mushroom, Flower, Star or Special Cup and try to set records for the fastest lap and/or race.
1483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember every one of them. Action-packed levels, scenic ambiences, adrenaline-pumping music--all in Jet Moto 2. I cannot stress the creativity of the levels---how did they come up with this stuff!! It's amazing! Like one level you'll be looping around a roller coaster type track. Then, later in the game, there's a track called 'Nightmare'---what a dark, gloomy, horrifying track!! It's like you're on this platform in the middle of darkness and you get run over and fall into this huge, dark pit! The Antarctica levels are the greatest of them all. Have you ever heard the music?? The best part about it. It's orchestrated, symphonic, heart-racing music. I wish I knew which philharmonic group made this music--it's brilliant. Other levels have orchestrated music too--it's great to listen to. Some of the other levels have rock/orchestra balanced music, so it's not all the same.
If you starve for a grusome game with awesome graphics, look no further than Resident Evil 2. In fact try all the Resident Evil games, I love them all!!
4782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 when I was a wee lad, I played board games, collect four, hungry hippo, monopoly. They were fun diversions, I was later amazed by the prospect of playing game like pac man, dig dug, ect in arcades, (yah I know I'm old). I remember the simple days... and It makes my mind wobble how complex, and utterly craptastic, videogames have become today... I've been a gamer pretty much all my life. So I know how sometimes It's best too keep a game simple, and fun rather then just ruin it by making it too complex.

1749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 RE is a game that not only the first game that took more than an hour-and-a-half to beat, it was a revolution in video game playing. It was the first in it's time. The first game to have actual 3-D characters, rather than the suposive 3-D design that "Doom" and "Duke Nukem" bragged about their choppy, cardboard design. Now that the movie of "Resident Evil" is out, kids and teenagers will be rushing out to buy the RE games. For an aparent reason, the original RE isn't being sold anymore, rather that it's very, very rare and probably costs around 70 to 80 dollars. Instead, they're is the Director's Cut. The DC is a odd version of RE that most people will be mistaking by the name. No, it isn't more gorier, and no, Deleted Scenes not included; seriously. Originally, the DC version had a much more explicit graphic beginning, with blood and all. But due to censorship and problems with young kids bying M-Rated games and watching R-Rated movies, the scenes were cut out. The only real different thing about the Director's Cut is the different costumes availible and items are in different spots. This will leave already RE owners high and dry, while satisfying non-RE game owners. Anyways, the story.
1426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think Mario is a great game. Fighting Bowser is the funnest part in this game. The best part is when you see Yoshi. Yoshi gives you 100 lives. It's fun looking for Mario's cap when Mario loses his cap. The game is one of the first 3D and is very good game for N64. Even thoughGameCube has the best graphics, the game is very graphical game. The game may have many challenges, even after you get 120 stars. This Mario game is very fun for N64 and I have to say this is one of the greatest hits I've ever had for N64.
Enjoy it-

9453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember watching my older brother play this game and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. When I came across it on here I ordered it right away for my brothers Christmas gift!
2085 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this game back in December. I played it for about 2 solid hours. I come to realize that this is it. All the same levels are like this. So boring and so not like the movies, and the movement and the weapons in this game are terrible. Not to mention the animation of the Aliens, they look like they are break dancing or having an upright seizure, moving back and forth like a tiger pacing in a cage. The alien creatures are so predictable in this game, and not the least bit scary. The parasites things that crawl on the ceiling, walls, and floor is perfectly done, but I am going to have to say that even the DOOM games bring better action and better background and goals and weapon options compared to this Alien game. The PC game, ALIEN VS PREDATOR is by far way better than this, and is true to the plot and movie action.
Chrono Trigger (SNES)
The game terrifies many, but it honestly didn't frighten me in the least, although I LOVED the eery atmosphere, the plot, and the characters. Speaking of which, the plot is one of the deepest, most involved video game plots you'll ever see. After playing the game, you'll probably need to read a plot guide off of gamefaqs.com in order to grasp everything, and even then, it's a bear to take in everything. The writers are geniuses and Dean Koontz and Stephen King would be proud to call the plot their own brainchild.
4580 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 B-17 is a great game. I would give it 5-Stars instead of the 4 I did, but for the normal person(not a nutty a GAMER like me and others)it takes time.

It's a fresh and different Mario adventure just like the last year's Super Mario Bros. 2 game only more true to the original Super Mario Bros. formula of the first game. What's cool in this game you get a special flower that grants you a special ball that defeats enemies and collects coins for you, there's also different enemies to fight such as killer Sphinxes to giant Sea-Horses as in 2 levels it can become a sidescroller where your in a Sub or plane blasting enemies including bosses which makes this a worthwhile Mario game.
2057 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had a N64 back then in 1998, so I got this game. It is great!
Pokemon was no short game. It was full of all sorts of side quests. From the Safari Zone, to catching the Legendary Birds, to the Unknown Dungeon. There was plenty to do, and even after the game was over there was STILL more to accomplish. Of course, your main accomplishment was getting them all. Pokemon could easily keep you busy for well over 60 hours. In 1998 this is an amazing feat seeing as how most RPGs of TODAY don't keep you busy that long. The main quest itself only took a measly 15 hours or so, but all the extra content kept you on your toes.
8849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like this game is that kirby has some help to back him up in the game and it fun.

Juggernaut
The Red and Blue versions may have seen stateside release in 1998, but the game was actually made in 1995. Before the television show came around. When the TV series took off in America, the games came next and as I said, they sold more copies than the latest installment of Harry Potter. I'm not kidding.
The Empire's mission is similar but trickier. Not only are Mon Mothma and Luke Skywalker to be in Imperial custody, but Alliance HQ must be destroyed. But unlike Coruscant, the Rebel HQ complex (it looks like Cloud City) can be moved from one Alliance controlled system to another. (Those who find the complete Victory conditions to be too hard at first might choose the HQ-only option.)
To start on a positive note, there is a lot of depth added thanks to the 3-D graphics. You can roam freely, battle monsters face-to-face, and search for hidden items without the constraints of side-scrolling. The control is responsive, and the buttons are easy to figure out, which is good considering the pace of the game. The 3-D worlds are huge, and are fun to explore. The sound is also excellent. You can hear the clatter of bones, the snapping of jaws, and the cracking of whips clearly, without that horrible distortion that we all remeber from earlier installments.
if you liked this game Check out DKC DKC 2 and the DKC 1, 2, 3 Version of the games for GBA.
406 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For the "Ace combat" initiated, this game is a lot better that the original "Ace Combat" for it's graphics and play, although I have to say how much I enjoyed "Ace Combat" too, in the beginning. Not only have the grapics been improved but the game now includes a scannar that actually tellls you which way the enemy planes are pointing - a must for the correct deployment of missiles. Missions are plentiful and, in addition to the possibility to select a wingman (or, indeed wing"woman" as sexual equality aware NAMCO has included) you can even direct him or her to take on a certain part of the mission, or do the mission without support, as you wish. There are the usual night missions and canyon-runs, and plenty of planes to choose from. Game action is very smooth too. The planes available in the more advanced stages of the missions are great. An enjoyable game!
As far as game play goes it holds up poorly. Getting new items equip is not a part of the system even though you can get items to upgrade your weapons nothing gets done about armor. Levels were pointless your increase was only a slight one. The monsters did profit a lot from the levels you gained though and you would easily be at level 99 halfway threw the game. The game doesn't have many characters and the characters within don't have as much personality is they did in FF7. The only mini-game within it is a poorly done card game that gets boring fast. The GF system seems nice at first but quickly you find out that spending an hour getting the max amount of something is an easy way to over become powered and takes a lot of time. The only real control over your characters power level is how much patience you have for getting more spells into your GFs.
-Though the bosses are easy I still think they're just classics!
Also, knowing a thing or two about guns and ammo, this game does a fair job keeping with the traits of the various weapons that you'll use in regards to rate of fire, kick and penetration. Stopping power is sometimes a foriegn concept, though because as the game progresses some of the baddies you'll face are just inhumanely robust. That was mildly annoying, but keeps it challenging when Max can use Bullet-time to knock them off with ease. The odds at some points are so incredibly against Max that when you do manage to kill all the baddies in a room, the cinematic effect of watching the bad-guy fall is a nice bonus. It's a tough game in some parts.
some really difficult puzzles
For example a plothole -- what is Rynn doing wearing so few clothes in the middle of winter? And on the more serious side -- levels lead into each other, so you can go back and forth between, say, the end of level 2 and the beginning of level 3. I did this by accident. I went back to 2, leaving Aroch in 3, and when I returned, he wasn't anywhere, so I had to start level 2 essentially over from my save-game. It's glitches like that that are very frustrating in a game.
2374 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why does this game cost so much? 1000 bucks for a gameboy game?? Get the price fixed and get your facts straight. This is rediculous
Hope to see you in my gunsights (virtual gunsights that is).
7997 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 DKC3 was the last installment of Rareware's monkey series for the SNES, and was basically the game to get your child for Christmas of '96 if you didn't plan on tracking down the then-newly-released Nintendo 64.
7571 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past is one of the best video games of all time. It was released for the Super Nintendo in 1991.
Another great aspect of this game is the way it flows. There are no levels, other than levels/decks within the ship you are trying to escape from, and accomplishing certain objectives means traversing multiple decks.
If you enjoy role playing and graphic adventure games at all, I'd highly recommend this one. It does truly have something for everyone.
2377 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Besides this again being a re-purchased item and a older game; it was fun to play again despite horrible older graphics.
The newest main feature in the game is the Relics which can only be retrieved in a time trail mode for every level in the game. After you obtain a levels crystal, you can go back to the level and collect the yellow clock at the beginning to start a time trail. The goal is to reach the end as fast as you can, but there are some differences: There are yellow time boxes that when destroyed will stop the clock for a short period of time, there are no checkpoint boxes so if you die, you have to start the level from the beginning; but there are plenty of Aku Aku masks to help you and thats pretty much it. It proves to be very challenging and getting the Platinum relics is insanely difficult and even I never managed to get all of them.
3322 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item arrived on time, was just as described and worked well. Five Stars!!!
Tap-Tap the Red Nose's Fort
My last complaint is a bit more minor but still valid. Whereas past Final Fantasy titles felt like actual livable worlds with lots to see and explore, FFVIII's world is a bit more sterile. Most of the landscape is barren with little of interest. For the majority of the game there are only a few sporadic populated areas. It almost feels like the game is based on an almost extinct planet. It's a strange feeling that I couldn't shake the entire time I played the game.
- complex story with lots of twists and turns
678 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was truly one of the best games I have played in a long time. It has challenging puzzles that may at times seem impossible but the solution is often right before your eyes. Based upon the Mexican Day of the Dead it gives the player a little bit of background while keeping them entertained. Great game, lots of P.I. cliches, mentally stimulating, and just plain FUN!
8606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game! I remember playing this game way back in the 90s on a CRT, and the graphics were a lot better than the Sega Master System version. It's quite a simple game of just trying to get to the end of the level, and collect the rings along the way. But it's a lot more challenging than you think! Don't forget Dr. Robotnik at the end of every 3 levels, destroy him and you get to move to the next zone!
1223 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nice
Overall: It is a good game I would sugest it to all RPG/Jrpg fans 10/10.
5334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I went on a trip to Florida about a year and a half ago and bought this at a used video game shop. This game was so fun I could not put it down! I even sat inside the condo all day and played this while everyone else was at the beach! You can choose to be a boy or girl and you keep a farm. Each season there are new crops to plant and you can also have cows and chickens which also help youmake a prophit. Thsi game deserves 100 stars as this is one of the best games I have ever bought for GBC next to Pokemon! :)
Thus, although the N64 might take a lot of flak these days, I just wanted to set the record straight that, in its day, it was still a quality system that competed tooth-and-nail with the original Playstation due to its grounded graphics and franchise games.
Out of combat, the game has some fun platform elements to it, including Mario elements as in secret boxes and jumping for coins. There are a bunch of mini-games along the way including puzzles here and there. So not only is the combat excellent but out of combat is amazing to add. There are plenty of hidden goodies to find along the way including final weapons for everyone.
When you see this game, you may notice that so many could've gone wrong, instead, they perfectly excuted to create this amazing title. I just fell in love with it.
1097 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game I have ever played. It has very good music,grapics,and the story is great! I really love this game,but the only really big problem with this game is that it has this one(long and boring)temple that is very hard,and(please)don't take this game lightly,the bosses are hard,but the story is so good that you will want to play this game again and again! But the other Zelda games are lame! So only (if you want to)buy this game and maybe 'the legend Zelda A link to the past'. PROS:the story is great,It's a fun game,and the great fairys(Fairys that will power you up and give you new weapons) are easy to find. CONS:switching around the camera is a little bit hard,and finding the goldskull tokens(gold coin like tokens that you win from beating spider monsters)is easy at the beginning of the game but hard at the end. This is a great game,so I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy games,I would also recommend'final fantasyI&II dawn of souls'and'The legend of zelda:the wind waker'.

2591 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Nintendo GameBoy was a hit. Nintendo GameBoy Color is just....great. It's just as good as the original GameBoy. It's still 8-bit,but it has colored graphics,newer games,and is smaller,to fit in small areas. The only problem is the small screen. Besides that,it's still fun.

8809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 killer instinct is a GREAT game and one of my favorite super nes games the controls are perfect the gameplay is flawless and the graphics are some of the best i have seen on the super nes a super nes game library isn't complete without this game buy it while you still can
In the game fine the ancient meteor rumored to have life giving power's. HEY! get ready for anything.
Then there's multiplayer mode, which is the game that never ends. Four players and up to 8 computer-controlled opponents can participate, with bucketloads of options. Custom set the various weapons you want to appear around a level, including what weapon appears where. You have portable sentry guns, sniper rifles that shoot through walls, and a guided missile launcher, to name some of the more unique weapons at your disposal. Set the timer for 1 kill, 10 kills, 1000 kills, or unlimited. Activate a "matrix-like" slow-mo, choose from varied arenas, set up color-coded teams, mix-and-match bodies and heads to create the perfect character. With regards to the computer-controlled opponents, you can adjust their difficulty level, so that they're either meat for you to gun down or invincible enough to make you wet your pants. This list does not even begin to touch on all the options avaliable, or the possibilities for fun when they are mixed.
What makes this game so great? This game doesn't have the flashy graphics of modern games, but that's not an issue, since the units are distinctive and possess clean, crisp animations. The unit count for each faction is less than most RTSes - but every unit (this is no exaggeration) has a distinctive role at every phase of the game. No unit is obsolete in the end-game, not even the lowly zergling. As a result, this game makes you seriously think about what kind of army you want to field and how you use it in combat. The mix between battle tactics (micro), base management (macro), and strategy is unlike that in any other game.
3.you get a lazer cannon and 'ho-duken' style projectiles to dispense with foes
7773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My son is a gamer and I accept that. So if I order him a game and he decides it is something that he will keep, I am hapy that he is happy...
509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a pretty fun game. if you like hardcore killing games then this is for you. this game rocks
1499 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun as hell and funny, definitely a nostalgia game
If you want game with your nihilism however, then come get some.
For the first time, command Star Wars Imperial and Rebellion units in real time. The sound is truly the most excellent part of the game; the unit sounds are fantastic, and the metal-ized version of the Imperial Theme is a nice touch. Graphics are a bit dated, but I feel they've done a good job with what they had, using a dated 3D engine.
Graphics: 9/10
What better way to end an era for a fighting genre then to throw it all into one big game. MKT does just this, so for people only familiar with the 3D era this is what Armageddon was based off of. Every MK character up to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is in here, plus all the mechanics from UMK3 that everyone loved. The game introduces a new Aggressor meter which is the predecessor of the power meter in the new MK. Getting attacked will increase it (which is just text at the bottom that fills up which I really hate) and then you do extra damage while in Aggressor mode. The combo system is still intact as well as the weapons from UMK3.
6712 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game seems like it was thrown together to keep as much speed as possible. Back in the early 90s Genesis was the blistering fast system. As per the SEGA gargon. Truth is it was slghtly faster then SNES but couldn't handle the colors. So now was know why they left over half the colors of the orginial. Now we are stock with this thing. They kept most of the moves and all the colors, but doesn't have any intro or ending animation which means it looks half done. Before you defend this game, think of this. Super Street Fighter looked great, but they they just didn't take the time porting this game. And much like Mortal Kombat it looks drab, choppy, and well peiced together.
classic game, mostly for elitists now.
1534 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 SOUL EDGE: THE EDGE OF SOUL
Anyway, the replay value for this game is higher than any I have ever played. This is one of the first games i ever bought for my PC and I love it still. The gameplay is great with 3 diverse races that demand various strategies to master. New units are eased into your missions and the game is easy to learn. The game doesnt necessarily boast screaming 3d graphics like todays market, but then, todays market isn't all that great. The game is pleasing to watch and listen to. The developers have included plenty of unit responses and command acknowlagments that you will not get bored clicking on your units. Click on them enough times in a row and BLizzards crew have added funny responses or strange saying to the units, like in warcraft. The sound is awesome. The music is good, never gets boring, and keeps you in the action.
All the 2K sport games
5711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Over 9 years old, this game is still great. The story, graphics, and gameplay are even better the FF 7 and FF 9. It is a long and exciting game that any fan of rpg's will love.
1063 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart on the n64 is an extremly well made game. when one person plays the game for the first time the controls are easy and you don't nead to worry about changing gears. After you get better you can move on to harder levels of play. once you beat the game on 150cc (hardest level) you can race al track in mirror mode (all tracks have opposite turns then their original tracks). the ads more replay value because the game in a sence has new tracks. All the tracks are unique and have varied difficulty levels. they are also well designed.
- No instructions. Really. No instructions. The strategy guide helps, and the first levels help give you a feel for the game, but really? No instructions? This is part of what hurt me on level 8. I wanted to beat it without having to read the strategy guide. In the end, the guide told me what units I should have before I attack, and some of them I had never used, let alone knew HOW to use.
8629 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent condition of product. Thanks!
Although the gameplay may feel like "been there, shot that", but Fear Effect's gameplay is really a breath of fresh air. The camera flow is a lot like Resident Evil's and Dino Crisis', the gameplay in general is as well. Though it may not be shooting zombies or skeletons, the navigation is pretty close to the RE series. You start out as Hana at the beginning of the game, you make your way through roofs and such, until some story twisting events occur, you are later forced to play as Glas, Hana's partner you now have to get Hana out of a few sticky situations. Along both of their journeys you face bosses and pretty mindless enemies. Which now leads me to another topic in the gameplay, the AI in FE is pretty stupid. You can shoot pass them and they won't suspect a thing. Compared to AI from Syphon Filter and Metal Gear Solid, FE's AI hasn't even graduated pre-school yet. Although when they spot you, they will fire at you with excellent accuracy. The plot in my mind is pretty inimitable, although you may have seen a plot like this before it is really the setting that makes me say this. I wouldn't want to ruin the story for anyone so I'm deciding not to describe it for you, but I will describe the setting. You are in Hong-Kong (the year, is pretty far from now) and the atmosphere of the game is Sci-Fi, hence all of the dramatic sequences (special effects) you will encounter in the game.
4376 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoy playing this game. In the beginning I found it a bit confusing compared to Age of Empires (an absolutely excellent game), so I didn't really like it. I eventually became better and now I find it very fun to play. It is set in the future and you can have your choice of who/what you are. There are some really cool aliens. Take a look at this game. It's great for someone who likes stragedy! Planning your next move against the enemy. Highly recommended!!

3971 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Save your money and get Roller Coaster Tycoon (1, 2, or 3). Sim Theme Park's graphics look like total s***.
The second thing I like about this game is the spy feel of it. You go on missions, and you work with gadgets (although some are indeed lame). But the cool thing is, on some missions, you've got to be really quiet and sneaky. You sneak down halls and pick off unsuspecting guards one by one with well-aimed shots. Of course, if you get bored of that, you can always make a lot of noise, have a bunch of guards come after you, and blow everyone away.
7500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first online game I played was Rogue Spear. This game is so fun. Of course there is higher technologys and better games now, but this game is still one of my favorites. It's a great fun doing the single player campaign and this game isn't a sleezy game where is takes 10 shots to kill you. This game is realistic. You get shot once in the arm, you are inqured and slowly dying, you walk slower and all that. You get shot through the chest or head, you are dead. It's not letting you get a whole MG round to the chest and survive like other games.
1670 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome, it is better then black except for the graphics, sound and story. But, gameplaywise, this game excels!
It is a great FPS even without the Movie License which should appeal to fans of both the movie and gaming genre.
3943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There still aren't that many Dreamcast games out than can be called "must-haves", but "House Of The Dead 2" is definitely one of them. But do you need the gun to play it? YES! Otherwise, it will be nowhere near as much fun and almost impossible to beat it, as the monsters are often zipping all over the screen at great speed. The game is extrememly hard anyway, even set on the "very easy" level (!), and the first few times you play it you will be killed long before the final battle, but the game would be over far too quickly if it were easy. The feel good factor from final victory, however, is always worth waiting for. Every aspect of the graphics is fantastic, the zombies are incredibly detailed, especially in close up, and the backgrounds are beautifully realised. Replay value comes from the many different paths you can take through the zombie-infested town. These paths depend on the speed and accuracy of your shooting, and you will enjoy replaying the game to try and hit those tricky targets, and save the innocent civilians, some of which are extremely difficult to rescue. Also added is "Original Mode" in which you build up a store of power-ups and life-ups, and even some bizarre different weapons and character-modifiers that appear in secret spots in the course of the game. You really need a VMU for this mode, although you can enjoy the arcade game without one (there are no save points during gameplay). Add to this the training exercises, and you have an arcade experience that is not only transported identically into your living room, but also enhanced with many extras! The game is above all fun to play, as it requires no serious investment of time or thought. You can pick it up at any time, and start blasting the undead!
CONS:
There are plenty of cheap deaths and the camera is pretty crazy at times.

Give it shot. You'll be glad you did
Now that you know a little bit about what I was expecting from this game, I'll provide a little bit about my gaming style/history before I go into the game review. I'm a huge RPG fan, and I like a variety of games in that style (turn-based, timer, real time strategy, action). I've played a few FF games (III, X, Tactics, Tactics II), and I liked them all, except for X, which I found to be a little too easy, albeit very pretty. I also really enjoy the Dragon Quest games. I've been into video games since I was 5, and apart for a work-induced stint of abstinence in college, I still enjoy video games when time permits.

From humble concepts mighty games are grown, and enriching this basic idea are things like: train quality, which forces you to choose between [cost], fast, good on slopes, or reliable; keeping demand high by supplying only small amounts versus the cost of connecting other places where demand is high; short routes with small payloads and fast turnarounds versus long routes with big payloads; buying and selling stocks to take advantage of economic trends; buying the businesses whose materials you're transporting; defending against train robbers or hiring shady characters and exploiting legal loopholes; and so on.

Killer-killer game, y'alls.
4697 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Maybe it is because I have a Mac version but I was really really enjoying this game when my band of characters stopped going up in experience levels. I contacted the company but was told that that is just the way the game is. Yes, I do like a challenge but I play computer games to relax too and without an advancement in level I don't see how to win this game. I was very very disappointed.
You can keep in touch with other characters who help you throughout the game on a "codec". Two characters that are actually at your side during the game are Meyrl and Otocan.
7578 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was alright, but to get down to the main point, the thing that has disappointed me the most are the frustrating, choppy controls, but I can forgive that since this was one of the launch titles that came out near the end of 1996. With that said, it is your typical 3D platformer with a Star Wars signature to it. However, if you are not a competitive gamer, expect to have an outstanding amount of trouble with many parts of this game, including a boss that I could not beat that comes right after the stage where you dodge obstacles while riding on various trains. As if the stage wasn't long and punishing enough, they had to throw a boss that involved hiding from his

6256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I received my first console in 1977 and my last in 2010 and of all the Nintendo 64 was my favorite. It didn't have the vast library the Ps1 had but it did have outstanding games like Super Mario 64, Mario kart 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Goldeneye 007, Banjo Kazooie and others that could only be played on the N64 plus it had 4 person multiplayer built in. It was an incredible console for its time. Even its cartridge limitations were overcome when they were able to fit all of Resident Evil 2 on a single cartridge. Though I have little time now to devote to gaming I do sometimes get nostalgic and pop in SM64, Goldeneye or some other N64 game and relive those great experiences. My N64 happens to be the only pre 2000 console I kept. The rest I sold off or tossed. I hate to think how gaming would have turned out without its contribution.
Fall of the Foot Clan is a beat 'em up, similar to the arcade games, but with the look of a sidescroller. The action is much more atraightfoward and simpler compared to other games (Most enemies die in one hit), but it's also very well-polished. The graphics and music are extremely appealing to the eye/ear. In fact, some tunes sound like they could be right at home on the Sega Genesis. Konami really knew how to rock out that Game Boy sound chip!
Almost as quickly as you realise this ain't Kansas, it becomes obvious Planescape: Torment is not your average hack'n'slash RPG. In fact, too much bloodshed will find you "mazed" (I had to restart!) by the Lady of Pain who watches over Sigil, the "City of Doors", the Plane which houses the Mortuary, and which contains portals to many other Planes if you have the right keys. Most confrontations are best sorted out by words, and this may be a problem with some players, as you have to wade through a HUUUUGE amount of text and dialogue to resolve these encounters in a peaceful fashion. In fact, I've recently read that Feargus Urquhart of Black Isle Studios said the incredible amount of dialogue that needed to be written almost killed the guys working on it, and sometimes I thought the bizarre and esoteric nature of some of it was going to cause my brain to self combust, but it all added to the rich texture and complexity of the game. It's a good idea to save often, because it's easy to accidentally offend someone while tip-toeing through the diplomatic minefield and suddenly find yourself in a fight to the death with someone who shouldn't be killed.
I am so glad he proved me wrong. I have had this game for 5 years now, and I still enjoy playing it as much now as I ever have. You can play by yourself or with another player or against the computer itself. Even more fun is the ability to unlock other characters in the game after you defeat them. It also forces you to learn how to play with characters that play with left or right hands and whether they have a better long or short game.
I plan on buying it again because lately I've been having severe urges to play it. You know the urges are getting stronger when you begin dreaming about it!
Article 2:
Unlike many games supposedly within the Survival Horror genre, Resident Evil hits the nail on the head with the notions of staying safe. Enemies are best avoided, as direct combat can result in being quickly overcome with zombies or being poisoned.
9888 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Strange how some people regard Grandia as the best Saturn RPG and one of the best on the PlayStation. While Grandia possesses some interesting qualities, it is completely dismantled by a series of devastating flaws that cripple the game. This review will be formulaic, but it will get the point across.
It will always be a reminder of my younger years and my kids love it.

There's also a 2-player mode for this game. Basically, it's a split-screen racing game where you and a second player choose as Sonic or Tails and race each other until the end of the acts. The acts to choose from in the 2-Player mode are Emerald Hill, Casino Night, Mystic Cave, and the Special Stage.
7985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda, another great video game series. While the original Zelda and Zelda II rank among the top Nintendo classics, the third installment in the long-running series is not only a classic as well, but the best in the series. I really liked Link's Awakening (for Game Boy) and Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64, but THIS is the best of Link's adventures. The music, gameplay, everything about it is top-notch. The level maps were also very unique and challenging. If you are new to the Super Nintendo, GET THIS GAME. I can't stress that enough (for those of you who read EGM, Zelda 3 was rated as one of the top 5 in the best 100 games list)!

its so friggin exciting. This is a most def if you want to keep this in your collection.
However, there are some flaws that Diddy Kong Racing has that were just surprising. First, there is a slower frame rate than Mario Kart 64, but the gameplay itself definitely makes up for that flaw. Another flaw is the control among some of the characters like Crunch The Alligator, and Banjo, the bear from the Nintendo 64 game, Banjo-Kazooie, is a little more difficult than evenly averaged in Mario Kart 64. The lighter charcters like Pipsy The Mouse and Tiptup The Turtle, provide a much better use for control in getting those challenges unlocked for a tasteful race with Wizpig in the final showdown.
7621 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 For the past few months I'd been picking up old N64 games that I didn't get a chance to purchase during their initial release, and when I saw Shadows of the Empire I immediately grabbed it, being the big Star Wars fan that I am.

This leads up to the final gripe with H-L, though not a major one. I have the Team Fortress Classic (TFC) expansion, the Opposing Force pack and numerous "user made" levels and my directory continues to grow. Currently the space taken by H-L and the various packs, levels, and extras has reached 912 MB of space. In contrast Diablo 2 (Full installation) is 1.10 GB, while Diablo 1 is only 10.1 MB! The game's are growing guys and gals, so the PC requirements should be followed like a bible.
3823 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 A fun shoot 'm up, no less, and regrettably, no more. Fans of the board game, the series, or even the role- playing game will be in for a bit of a dissapointment. The game has few options besides "click and shoot". Still, I spent a fun few hrs playing it (and a lotta dlrs buying it).
CONS
The game lets you choose to play as 6 different characters (However, you unlock them by playing as Sonic first). We have Sonic (of course), Tails, Amy, Knuckles, E103 Omega, and....Big the Cat...Each of the characters have their own gameplay mechanics, as well as goals and certain levels. Below is the fun factor for each character.
Fun, what can't be fun about this game?! 10/10

It's easily as awesome as SMB 3 and another time-tested classic that is always a treat to replay as it's one of my fave games ever.
I finally picked it up again and tried zone.com. It took me hours, but eventually I overcame each problem until a giant barrier stoof in my way. FIREWALL! After 3 days I got the ports to open.

Link's Awakening is the first in a long, ever-growing line of portable Zelda games, and I have to say it really doesn't get better than this! There is just that perfect balance of action, exploration, puzzle solving, and a dash of side quest that makes a Zelda game feel "right." Where later portable Zelda games fall short by forcing players into poorly executed minigames, lengthy and confusing trade quests, and generally disappointing level and boss designs, Link's Awakening serves up imaginative original bosses, and some rehashes of bosses from previous games, as well as dungeon levels ranging from short and simple to surprisingly complex (yet still fun and manageable!). And like any good Zelda game, the difficulty level is right in the ball park of being just challenging enough that you may die a few times, but not so confusing as to make you throw the game aside while you frustratedly search a walkthrough for help.
8636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's true, this "Battle Chest" holds the original "WarCraft: Orcs and Humans", "WarCraft II: The Tides of Darkness", and the WC2 Expansion "WarCraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal". Don't come expecting the greatest of graphics, this game was made what feels like forever ago. (I played this in High School back in 1997 - Sophmore Year.) Come for the story, the characters, and the games that brought WarCraft to the world and paved the way for World of WarCraft. Medivh, Gul'dan, Ner'Zhul, Garona, Alleria, Khadgar, Turalyon, and so many more are featured in this game and will give WoW fans a better understanding of WoW Lore.
4261 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The battle chest is a great way to get both Starcraft and it's expansion BroodWar, together the make one of the best combat / strategy games. If you don't own Starcraft buy the battle chest and get all the extras. They will help you enjoy the game fully. If you already own Starcraft unless you really want the two strategy guides just buy the expansion pack Broodwar instead. Starcraft really needs to be played with the expansion; it adds more depth to both the game and tactics with new missions and new units. The basic game play is pretty easy to pick up and if you play the single player missions in order you'll quickly learn the strengths and weaknesses of each troop type. Then the fun really begins when you battle against real opponents across the Internet. After you have played the single player missions you'll have your favorite race either Terran, Protos or Zerg. You'll come up with your own tactics on how to deal with your opponents There is a huge on-line community out there defending the `Honor' of each respective race. Buy the game and come play. This game came out back in 1998 and it is still being played now. Few games can say they have that lasting appeal. The battle Chest is 100% value for money
3330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Being a 90s kid, this was a must-have for me and I LOVED this game. Unfortunately, I lost the disc several years ago and have been without it since, until recently when I purchased a copy from Amazon. This is undoubtedly the best game I have ever seen, especially for PS1, since most of those games are quick and easy. Quite the opposite with this game. I've only gotten halfway through it because the bosses are SO hard. Try playing Anubis Rex and/or Space Galaxian and you'll see what I'm talking about. This game may have been released for other game systems, but none retains the quality and feel that the PS1 version does. (By the way, if you buy this game, Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness is the perfect complement to this one. It is also quite complex for a PS1 game.) Yes, there still are new Pac-Man video games being produced all the time (recently, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures), but none have the feel of this one.
I'm a big fan of the original Tetris, and got this version as soon as I could. It's as challenging and addictive as the original and a great way to spend several hours of fun no matter if you play alone or with someone else.
"Perhaps the same could be said of all religions..."
Well, obviously it's the "granddaddy" of the genre. You get an array of weapons, my personal favorite being the chainsaw. There's nothing better than chopping up a red demon and watching the blood scatter. The music is also VERY eerie, as if something is about to pop out at you (even though it never does to the extent of, let's say, Silent Hill). Even though the graphics are outdated, the level designs are very well done and many of them are tricky and cleverly designed. THESE GUYS WANTED YOU TO WORK HARD TO PASS A LEVEL.
9415 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When people think of classic run and gun games, the first thing that usually comes to mind is Contra. But anyone who has played Gunstar Heroes knows that it's possibly the best run and gun ever made for the home console. It's intense, the action never stops and it impliments some unique gameplay elements that make the game a lot of fun to play. Also, unlike Contra, the game isn't insanely hard, but has a really balanced difficulty level. Nintendo was gracious enough to put this on the Virtual Console, so even if you don't have a Genesis, you can still download it for 800 Wii points (eight bucks), and you don't need a Classic Controller to play it.
- Jill's inventory is very small. Unlike the first Resident Evil.

This game holds a special place in my memories and when I move on to heaven, I hope Jesus has my old Sega Genesis up there for me to play for a while before I take up form again in my next incarnation.
This is still the best fighting game out. Even with the XBox and PS2 out. Me and a friend still hook up the old Dreamcast to play this from time to time. Can't wait untill the next one. As of this new review, this will selling on Amazon.com for more than it was when Dreamcast was still out. I guess that tells you a little something about how good this game is.
Anyway, the aesthetics of it, the humor, the "My Pet Dungeon" feature, and the overall attention to detail make it a hoot to explore, even if it doesn't have a lot of depth, particularly for casual gamers with a dark sense of humor.
But given any new Lara Croft game, i'll be excited and i'm looking foward to the new game after the last one last Christmas.
7778 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best Mario game out of any Mario on any console! So many secret paths and yoshis and things you can unlock we used to play this all day.
Now, I played through on "Easy" and beat the game in one day. However, there are higher difficulty levels which I'm sure would have significantly extended the amount of time it took to be the game.
All new graphics and familiar locales should get players interested. But the euphoric soundtrack will REALLY get you hooked (especially when exploring Brinstar and Tourian)! Samus will also encounter her old rivals, Kraid and Ridley. But don't think it's an easy cake walk this time around -- both mini-bosses are extremely difficult (yet satisfying) to defeat. And the boss battle music will get your attention, no??
Well, I have to say, I've been converted by this game. I probably would never have even tried it had I not been surrounded by guys playing it at work. Didn't want to be left out, so installed it on my system, apologized ahead of time for my pitiful relexes, and jumped right in.
Simply, not good enough.
9150 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 it came in the mail all beat up and didn't work ! a waste of money !
Essential a First Person Shooter with style, Half Life has incredible graphics and attention to detail, the helicopters being a fine example.
The loading time is somewhat worse than Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, but only somewhat. In Your House takes maybe 3 or 4 seconds longer to load a match, if that. Unfortunately, the way Vince McMahon introduces the wrestlers is pretty bland and uninteresting compared to Wrestlemania: the Arcade Game where you actually saw the wrestlers running forward, towards their opponents, featuring their own distinct animations (such as Shawn Michaels posing and Doink "the clown" squirting water). In this game, Vince just SAYS who you're facing while a boring picture appears on screen showing the wrestlers. It's not as good.
The story is seriously the strongest point in the game. You are in a huge place called Ivalice and you travel from town to town occasional going to waterfalls or swamps and what not. Ramza is the main character and he experiences betrayal, meeting new friends and fighting for what's right.
The Game:
But the most astounding thing is that, to this day, the DC thorougly dominates two key gaming genres - racing and fighting.
OVERALL: Final Fantasy VII is the best RPG, if not the best game, ever created by man. YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME. Period. 10/10
I really don't know what Namco was thinking with this game and honestly I don't want to know. While they did present some very original ideas to gameplay, what they got was something far from satisfying, not to mention they defamed Pac-Man's reputation. This game is no where even close to a start of becoming anything like the game that made Pac-Man famous. The game is definitely not worth the buy and should be avoided at all costs unless you're missing a piece in your SNES collection.
Sound: Although there's no voice, except for Navi's annoying "Hey!" and an occasional "Hello" from her or Link's grunts, it's got some awesome music. One thing I love is the short ocarina songs you play, such as Song of Storms, Zelda's Lullaby and Song of Time, plus general area music. Although the overworld music isn't like what it was on Link to the Past, it's still great.
155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So I got this and first it was kind of tedious but then I added weather and well the titanic in a hurricane can be a hoot I got 08 cause my laptop is horridly slow but when I get my hands on more computer power I'm going to get ship simulator extremes you tube gives you a good idea what to expect check it out there and see if its for you
I tried to give the game away, but my friend gave it back after one day. He said it was the worst game ever. It took him 40 minutes to figure out how to quit (he goes to Harvard). I tried another friend, but he gave it back (Ph. D. Penn State Industrial Engineering). I tried another friend (Psych major) who gave it to somebody else who finally threw it away, but kept the action figure. I guess that last guy never played the game because after being insulted for four hours, I don't know how anybody can like C3PO ever again.
4870 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is pretty cool
There were plenty of places to explore in the chateau, museum, church, and town of Rennes-le-Chateau, and in the surrounding countryside. The puzzles were often difficult, and I frequently found myself backtracking for missed items. Also, there is a lot of downtime in some of the timeblocks so I found myself wandering around for a while trying to kill time.
- Picking up ammo, Gun powder, and health items is pointless since you already have enough of each to last you to the end of the game.
The Special Stages were challenging especially getting the chaos emerald. It's fun to play it with 2player. The First one was easy you just had collect links and race to the finish line. It was just the same thing compared to the other SEGA games which involves Sonic.
7034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great!
Back when the Super Nintendo was king, Videogames were marketed more towards people ages 15 and under, so with this, the challenge of the game isn't hard. For the most part, you can just fly through these levels but there's the occasional tricky one. One thing Nintendo should do is add a difficulty setting to their games. It pains me to play such great games, but be challenged so little with them all.
5204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal gear solid has the most complex and often perplexing storyline I have ever seen in a video game, hands down. It will always have you on your toes, literally.

5283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has everything. Great dialogue and speech (unlike Final Fantasy), hard and taxing puzzles (unlike Resident Evil), hard and challenging bosses (again, unlike Resident Evil) and an amazing, complex, adult storyline. This is more like a movie. The twists of the story, I won't give them away, are great and it is one of few Playstation games that offers a good challenge. It is Resident Evil style but Res Evil is much too easy and the dialogue in the cut scene is bad. In FEAR EFFECT the cross between FMV and active play is created well and there is no significant change in graphics. It is a great game, long (4 discs), challenging with both puzzles and bosses and packed with action. If you liked Res Evil, BUY THIS!!!!!
701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is a good product.
3963 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the first games released for the Dreamcast, House of the Dead 2 is an instant classic. The game is identical to the arcade smash with the inclusion of exclusive Dreamcast levels, and the graphics and detailed zombies will leave your mouth watering. The voice acting is pretty bad though, making the voice acting from the first Resident Evil look like Shakespearian acting, but that is overlooked by the shoot 'em up action. A light gun is strongly recommended, but the standard DC controler works just as well, somewhat.
Then, Counter-Strike comes out, that gets a best multiplayer

3474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sega Dreamcast isn't state-of-the-art anymore, but this was the foundation of our modern game consoles. It introduced complex online gaming. It showed what a 3D game could really look like. And, most important of all, it was fun and creative. Although it lasted less then a year (thanks to stupid ugly Sony and their clunky uncreative Playstation 2) in North America, it got a lot of crazy games onto the market. Sonic Adventure is a great game that set the base of who Sonic would be in the modern era. Yet this time Sega didn't stop at Sonic. Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio, Chu Chu Rocket, and a ton of sports games and RPGs all made the Dreamcast the place for creativity. Not only that, Dreamcast introduced the VMU, a Gameboy-style memory card with a monochrome screen that displayed game information and occasionally even let you play games on it.
The infinity engine now has been around for ever (since 1998), but damned if it isn't the most satisfying CRPG interface still in existence. Quick access to everything for 6 characters at a time - it's really something.

It's a great game, with a whole lotta humor mixed into the cutscenes. Also, You can explore virtually any part of the island, as long as you can reach it with your jetpack, flying ability, or Kabuto's ability to climb (charge up most surfaces) and jump from them to other nearby islands. And man does it rule to play as Delphi, goodbye Lara Croft, this is one hot video game character, and she can do MAGIC!!! Of course I don't play this game for that... really I don't...

Gameplay: 1,000,000.0/ 10.0 It is considered the best game ever, and was the 1998 Game Of The Year. You could do EVERYTHING in this game, and it is very fun doing all those side quests and other crap. This game is like no other. No other game can match this, none of that Final Fantasy or any other RPG match it, it is the best Nintendo game ever made.
There were levels that accommodated every gamer's ideal level. Enemies to fight, bonus items to pick up, almost eerie at times scenery and definately some of the best adventure type gameplay ever.
Well worth the money.

6384 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I thought this game was a lot of fun but very unrealistic in some places, like when I was sniping at an enemy camp and the moment I fired a shot all people in the camp immediately spotted me and start firing at me. And also the red screen when you're getting shot is totally annoying, you can't see anything at all.
Gameplay: 8/10
When Capcom unleashed the original Resident Evil on the PSX back in the spring of 1996, they had no idea that it would become one of their most successful franchises to date. In fact, the series is still going strong to this day with new games on the PS2 and Gamecube. So Capcom heeded the fans' calls for a sequel, and released RE2 a couple years later. This game ended up being much greater than the original and won over many more gamers with its intense action and edgy suspense. After RE2 received much success, it wouldn't be long before another sequel would be in the works. Come the fall of 1999, RE3 would make its appearance.
Lots of Secrets!
The downside to the bosses is the weaknesses. They are off. For example, when I tried fighting Iceman, I used Fireman's power (Reasonable, right?), but it didn't do a whole lot of damage. Then I tried Elecman's power, and it took him out in 3 or 4 hits. (Edit: Never mind. This isn't actually an error.)
I have just a few picks about the game:
6950 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 BOOM SHOCKLOKA! This game is a tru! e blast from the past. Was a lot of fun 2 play on the Genesis and on the Arcade. Def classic game where you could slam dunk while bursting into flames! LOL this game was kinda wacky like a lot of old school games
5841 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For benefit of the doubt, I gave Corkscrew Follies 4 stars, because 3 was too low and there is no 3.5. Yes, Corkscrew Follies is a decent and pleasing expansion to Roller Coaster Tycoon and offers many new scenarios and editing capabilities to the original, but it seemed slightly rushed and there were many obvious additions that should have been made but were not. Let's hope they end up in the second expansion slated for the summer of 2000.
This time, the challenge is to clear pre-arranged squares from the screen. But, instead of filling in rows, you're trying to line up three squares of the same color horizontally or vertically. All the original shapes are back, plus some new ones that come apart. These can be a blessing or a curse. You can play by yourself, against a friend, or against the computer.
7979 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. It is definitely a classic. I highly recommend picking this up after completion of the first two in the series.
4273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game about a year ago, and I still play it all the time. It has provided thousands and thousands of hours of fun thanks to Blizzard's Battle.net, where users can create their own scenarios, which make the possibilities endless. You get Starcraft, Starcraft Expansion, and strategy guides for both! This is a great deal and I would recommend it to any strategy game fan.
9889 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Wow, this game is great. I took off a star for some annoying voice-over and some annoying cloyingly emotional plot-lines that have simply been done to death. At times, the plot felt like it was written by an nine-year old who watches too many daytime soaps.
1746 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Capcom's legendary Resident Evil series and I have never really seen eye to eye. Though I own nearly every non-GameCube title in the undead thriller's history, I'd never been able to stand one long enough to actually complete it, right up until this past week. I'd always found the series to be misleading, disguising itself as a straightforward action title before slowing the gameplay down to a crawl and relying on endless puzzles and feats of memory to lengthen completion times. Time after time, I'd sit down with the goal of finally tackling these games, and time after time I'd get bored, stuck or distracted, leaving the game behind. I grabbed Resident Evil 3 when it was relatively new, and the title has sat, unplayed, on my shelf for years. That was, as I said, until this past week, when I sat down with renewed vigor and vowed to complete the first title in the series, even if it drove me to madness.

7279 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A truly awesome game; absolutely addictive. It should be listed as a class 1 narcotic! :P It is insanely challenging and unfair toward the human player. 29 other aggressive racers, 1,000+ mph speeds, twists, turns, jumps, bumps, hazards This game will prove too difficult for many players; and that is where opinions about this game split. Those who can't play it will begin to pick on the blocky graphics or something like that. However, It is well-known and loved by those who are up to the challenge. Never played this game on an arcade machine. Wonder if it had a steering wheel or a stick? I have the n64 steering wheel and pedals and will try that eventually, too. I believe this was a Sega/Nintendo Hybrid. Despite the basic graphics; the game plays flawlessly. Way ahead of it's time. For those who enjoy a game where the "novice" difficulty will take you a few time to beat; this is for you.
Pros:
...
If nothing else can be said about it, this can: It's a fresh approach on a genre that was being overdone, and you'll get that initial "Warcraft II thrill" you first did when you played it back in 1992, which I honestly hadn't had since then, but was glad to have it for a while again with this game.
If you liked Quake 3 youll love this game.
There are also abilities that each GF carries that allow you to learn several abilities. Some can give you new commands in battle while others can also help increase your stats by a certain amount.
You do not proceed in an expected typical order, but must achieve certain things at different locations.

4792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In the newsgroups and on some game magazine I read reviews that criticize the game. The bottom line of these people is that the game, compared to the predecessor 'Battlezone' is cheesy. Well, I don't know about Battlezone I becuase I never played it. This game though, is still very good. It's based on a very cool idea: you are a soldier and you can drive anything, from powerful war machines to buidlings (turrets and factories and such). You don't actually drive a factory: you just get in and configure it the way you want. You also can get in a turret (and it's damn fun to blow a bug up with one of those big plasma turrets! ). If you built it (and you have to) you can get into the 'Relay station' which is a building that uplinks to a satellite and gives you a satellite view of the action and lets you play the game in a traditional (almost) RTS fashion. The game is sci-fi and definetly arcade-ish. Do not expect a sim or the ultimate RTS game from it. It's still a very cool idea to allow you to switch from an RTS view to a first person view: you send your troops to fight and then you get in your tank and go with them to fight and suffer the consequences of your strategical mistakes or enjoy blow enemies up in person! I reccomend it to any action or RTS player: it's a game to try out!
A fun and addicting battle system

9710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is almost like Age of Empires and SimCity put together. You are a governor of a province and start as a citizen and work your way up to caesar. Many people say this game is hard. It isn't. I have never once failed a mission, but I have suffered the consequences of disobeying Caesar and the Gods. Each province you have different resources and things you can build. The houses your people live in are influenced by a couple things: Water, Food, Security, Desirability, Goods, and Services. Your houses start as tents and work their way up to Grand Palaces. Overall this is a game that no gamer can be without.

Like Half Life itself, the majority of the time you're frightened of noises and the dark rather than tonnes of aliens charging at you. The latter more regularly would be welcome, and draw the games out a bit. The best part is the sewer section where one minute you've got a horde of giant half-bull half-spider thingies thundering after you and just when you think you've time for a breather, an infinite amount of scythe-armed flea aliens start spilling from doors.
5916 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have read several reviews stating how the game was to overly complicated and too focused on graphics and not story. I have been playing RPGs for 16 years and I simply love this game. I was hooked to this game the minute I got it. The story will draw you in and won't be able to put it down. The storyline developes very well. The graphics are gorgeous and the cutscenes are jaw dropping. The absorb ability that is in place of magic takes bit of getting used to and confused me through the first part of the game. But once getting the hang of it, it works pretty well. With interesting characters and non-stop action, I highly suggest this to any person who had doubts of this game before. just as good as IX ((I still firmly belive Final Fantasy III on SNES is the best in the series =) )) This game warrants a purchase!
After you finally win, you might expect that you will never want to take on such a huge task again. But, such is not the case. Even though you have all 120 stars, you can go back to levels you have beaten and play them over and over, as much as you want. You'll be tempted to do just that. The experience of playing through the incredible world of the Mushroom Castle is such that you will be coming back for many repeat visits.
And one fact. Shadow has rocket boosters, so he runs like he's roller skating.
4258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You just won't want to stop playing this game. Like certain books, you're hooked from the very start of the game. The scenarios are actually *beatable*, after a few tries you're a third of the way through the game, but it actually advances in difficulty *at the appropriate moments*, unlike some other games I know of. Now, the most satisfying part of the game itself: Custom building your own coasters. There are so many to chose from. Inverted steel, minecar, single rail, mini steel, wooden, stand up steel, bobsled, etc. It's so appeasing when you actually see people board your coaster, then disappointing to see the real life physics algorithim sling them into oblivion, killing X amount of people. Of course, there really isn't any violence in the game besides freak accidents. Also, this game helps develop and sharpen management skills, you can do marketing campaigns, price setting, goal setting, etc. This game is the very best, top of the line. Do yourself a favor, it's appropriate for any age and rather addictive, so go buy it now.
There are two realms or worlds or planes, the spectre plane and the material plane. The material realm is just the normal world, the spectre realm is a twisted version of the material realm(Of course its the underworld/netherworld death place thing)

There are other great-good games for this system, which I can't think of at the moment. If you have yet to own a Sega Dreamcast, but love collecting various systems, I recommend getting one! The Dreamcast is a classic game system. Which is still fun to play to this day! Long live Sega & all other gaming!!!!

The analog stick took a bit of getting used to. At first, I HATED it! I found it to be quite touchy, making it difficult to do any precise aiming. However, after a couple days, I actually got quite good at using the stick and now prefer it to the directional pad.
2012 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Unlike some other reviewers I actually found that this game was enjoyable. The only complaint I have is that the graphics looked like they belonged to a Super Nintendo. Besides that the game is awesome.
6591 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Anthology is two great 16-bit Final Fantasy games in one conveniently-priced package. First, there's Final Fantasy V, which, while not being one of the best in the series, is nice to finally have in the US. Also, there's Final Fantasy VI (SNES players might know it better as Final Fantasy III), which sells individually at the used game store I bought this at for a much higher price (...)That, and the fact that it is among the very best in the series.

The Dreamcast was so far ahead of its time but it is far from being forgotten. After four years of holding out I just recently purchased an XBox and a new slim PS2. The XBox is a great system with all the accessories built in like a hard drive, ethernet, DVD play capability, Dolby Digital 5.1 support, HDTV wide-screen support, etc. and I highly recommend it. I especially like the Halo 1 & Halo 2 games as well as most of the sports games like NFL2k5. The tiny slim PS2 is also a great little system and has a massive library of newer PS2 and the older PS1 games. I see technologies that were developed for the Dreamcast as having been designed into both of these newer console systems like the XBox's dynamic controller and the new PS2's built in modem and ethernet for online gaming. The Dreamcast will be historically remembered as one of the most significant breakthroughs for console system gaming with its introduction of highly realistic and life like 3-D graphics, its super realistic sound quality, and for being the first console to support the current presentation of live online gameplay. Long live the Dreamcast, its legacy, and its impact on the world of video games!
4079 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok , just like everyone sez, this IS one of the best games ever made and you SHOULD buy it immediately. But it does have some flaws.
The Good:
The only complaint I have is the game is so durn addictive that I have spent entire days off playing the game. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys video games, as the price is easy to handle, and the game is impeccable.
5191 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When this game first came out and I played it I did not think too highly of it since I was used to action games and did not understand the espionage part of it. But after recently buying the compilation with the game is in it, I realize all that I was missing even 10 years after its release.
6182 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 would recommend it
6450 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of my favorite computer games around. The graphics are great, and the gameplay is terrific. I love all the different empires you can control, everything from British to Chinese. The strategy is much the same as the first installment of Age of Empires, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. Lots of fun with this one.
So, really, if you're a Final Fantasy fan, skip this one. You didn't miss anything.
-Sometimes can be frustratingly difficult
796 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!
Further there is major flexibility in choosing not only governments, but also economics, military, education, environment (big factor in this game), research, health, etc. And you can take "stances" ruthless, moderate, or idealistic for military interactions. Trade still can play a big role too.
When i first turned the game on, the people in the first level looked like an oil painting. And it is nearly impossible to fly through those rings!!! Miss one ring and words show up that say,"Lex wins" and you hear a really bad reproduction of baldy's laugh.
These are classic, wonderful, wonderful games!
3) The moves and effects are radical (King Capcom shines here)
5092 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is truly a great game and a classic. This game gives endless entertainment and great graphics. Although it's very addicting,it never wears out. Offering many fun and awesome worlds and many heavy and huge weapons. This game does not have extreme gore, you can change the settings and it is not that bad in the first place. This is a masterpiece. I love it. I think this is one of the best first-person shooters i've ever played.
5039 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played this game right after I finished Metal Gear Solid and while I was a little let down from the switch I found the game entertaining. I played it at like 3 in the morning with the lights out and it can kinda freak you out. It is an old game now but if you liked the Resident Evil series and never got to try this one pick it up for your PS1 or PS2. Also if you are thinking about getting SH2 definately play this game cause it helps you understand the town.

3100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No RPG has come close to having the kind of stories and atmosphere that the Final Fantasy series has. But no Final Fantasy game has come close to the timeless masterpiece of Final Fantasy VII. The characters are superb! I will never forget Cloud, Aeris, Tifa, Barrett, Cid (Highwind) and the others. The story is incredible and the music is classic! Sure, the sound and graphics don't measure up to PS2, Xbox or Gamecube. But this game is above all that. Video games have never left as deep an impression on me like this one has. This is THE defining title in the Final Fantasy series.
2390 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This type of RPG was easy to master, because at the start of the game, I chose Bulbasaur for this type of match. I used him in the first 2 stages of the game, but sometimes the rest of the game. Whenever you use a fire-type attack on an ice/water type, it will either say "It's super effective" or "It's not very effective" Otherwise, this game's a blast to play, with 150 different pokemon characters to choose from. Go buy them both. You'll need them to link up to Gold/Silver.
5492 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Soul Reaver is much improved over Blood Omen, the graphics being the most notable improvement. The story line is grusome, yet completely involving. You can do alot of damage to your opponents and Kain is probably the most dynamic and pitiful character (appearance wise) to date. The dark, moody atmosphere is not only necessary, it is downright cool and adds a great deal to the game overall. The music score is fairly decent and controls are tight. Load times have been much improved as well.
I found the game to be great, and I will keep playing it again. One thing I really did like was that things actually change in the game rather then being the same all the way through. Like just for an example; when you rescue a babe in the present she talks like a modern day women. When you save a babe in the west, she sounds like a babe from the Western days, and the Victorian women have their British accents, too.
9649 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very fun game. It's probably one of the first pinball video games. I like it. You will too,even if you're not a Pokemon fan.
Overall, I love this game. Without a doubt, I consider it amongst the top 3 of my favorite games. If you haven't played this game, you are really missing out on something, go play it, you'll see how fun and exciting this game can be. and believe me - it only gets better.

378 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Playstation version of Riven is definantly not as good as the PC version, but it still adds up to be a great experience. Solid gameplay, crips graphics, and top-notch sound. But still falls short in some areas. Disc changing can get very tedious. That's one reason why I recommend the DVD version for the pc. But it's no doubt this game will suck you in and keep you sucked for a long time. Get ready to experience a whole new world.
1611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic Game came as expected, lightly used no excessive wear.
2197 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rocks the most. Quite possibly the best racing game for the N64, Beetle Adventure Racing packs so much into a single game pak that you wonder just what exactly does go on inside of that cartridge. Unlike other N64 racing games, BAR look just as darn good as anything you'd find on many Dreamcast games. The graphics are lush. Plus, there's stuff going on off of the track. Trains go by, warehouses operate and some freaky looking pumpkin things dance around. It offers much more to look at than, say, any Crusin' title. The control is superb, even the poor handling cars are a blast to play with. There's a Goldeneye multiplayer rip off where your car is outfitted with missles and bombs and the such. you get to go around collecting beetles which is just an excuse to kick the living daylights out of your annoying kid brother. Not that we :cough: ever do that.
In travelling, we also embark into Stone Creek, & the more aesthetically-pleasing Dark Hollow, where new creatures wander to be defeated, & more treasures to be plundered. Bit by bit, little Spyro learns to glide, then eventually fly.
At the time of Mega Man X's release back in 1993, I didn't think the game was as great as I do now. At the time I was so concerned with what the future of video gaming had in store that I didn't give much notice to quality and instead focused on what video game companies were doing to make games look more realistic. So even though I thought the graphics in the original Mega Man X were quite good at the time, the release of Donkey Kong County was just around the corner and the graphics in THAT game had me so amazed and stunned that suddenly the graphics in any other game looked inferior.
The force feedback through the Rumble Pak makes the game feel more intense.
There are even new features to this game -- you can save more than one game on a card (though it takes two spots per game), you can collect different types of ammo, combine items, and use laser-sight add-on and binocular/flashlight items.
2367 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why are you reading this? You ALL know how amazing the Pokemon series are. Why be curious? Why complain? They are all part of our childhood. They've been there when technology began enhancing. The Pokeball technology made us believe in the greatness of creativity and virtual reality. They taught us about friendship, achieving goals, patience in gaining more experience to learn better skills, conserving our best skills for the blow that fits best. Why? Why would anyone else rate differently?
2719 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is an old fashioned RPG that may not appeal to those who have only known the likes of Final Fantasy X, FFX-2, and Xenosaga. There's not a lot of cutscenes here to help tell the story. No fancy soundtrack. Very little voice acting, which is a shame considering the voice actor for Ghaleon did a wonderful job. There's nothing like an elaborate prologue or ending that you got out of Xenosaga. Instead, gamers will have to depend on lots of reading and playing to make the story unfold.
1: Realistic ballistics in projectiles and counter-tactics thereof. You can dodge the weapons, in Starcraft it becomes a battle of attrition as it does in several other RTS games. Not to mention you can set up support fire and indirect fire from either fire teams or artillery. The artillery can actually fire for effect and you can even lead a target into a shot, something you never seen in games.
9119 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 just was what it was
4422 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will admit it i reserved the nintendo 64 months in advance. Sure when i got it i thought it was great, but after months of defending it against my classmates and their playstations, i decided to get my own. It by far surpasssed the n64's enjoyment. Sure the n64 has better graphics, but playstation was the better games and better sound. In my opinion nintendo aims their games for a much younger audience. Many of their games are not apealing to the 14+ crowd. Playstation provides way more games for this age group, along with games for the younger group, but they can still be injoyable for the older gamers. The playstaion controler is much better in design. The dual shock controller is the best that i have seen, but who wants to put that bulky heavy rumble pack in the back of the n64 controller? I hate the memory pack for n64, one season on qb club fills the whole thing, theres 20 bucks gone for a game that costs 60 in the first place. That brings me to another point, games are alot cheaper pn playstation, you are looking at a 20 dollar diference. If you are deciding between a playstation or a n64 i would go with the playstation. If you are buying a system for a younger gamer then i would consider the n64.
The sound effects are good for the most part. However, the zombies come off sounding more like moaning old men than actual monsters, and the voice acting... dear god? don't get me started. It's so hilariously bad that it's just fun to listen to. The dialogue doesn't help things at all along with the horrible acting which is bad even by B-movie standards. One of my friends almost died of laughter the last time I went through the game. The music on the other hand, is decent and suits the mood of each area appropriately. It's nothing special, but it does add to the overall suspense.
4938 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Most adventure games do not lure you in to such a haunting story with such detail and innovativeness as this one. Others I've played, while good are more light-hearted such as the King's Quest series. Others go for laughs like Day of the Tentacle or Sam And Max Hit The Road. But this game not only skillfully delivers a chilling psychological horror, it sprinkles in gimmicks that I have not seen before in this type of game.
I still believe that, but I've recently come to change my mind a little and think that, even though most of the levels in Super Mario World feel the same, that's not necessarily a BAD thing. I also don't think the graphics in SMW are as nice as many reviewers think. They sort of look blocky but, to their credit, Nintendo games have always had plenty of pretty colors, which is a plus.
9797 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best resident evil games in the series. I've beaten it dozens of times it never gets boring
1201 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works
Overall:10/10
8539 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome!!!! Would buy from again 100%
I highly recommend this console. I gave it a 4 because there's a few errors with my console, but only minor ones, like having to reset the internal clock EVERY TIME I turn it on, long loading times on games, the grinding noise, which I might add, my PS2 started making before it died, and the cooling fan. I feel like I should also add that it had a bit of trouble picking up the controller the first time I used it, but that was easily fixable.
The Lords of Magic part, however, is much better. You control one of 8 'Faiths', each with different creatures, buildings, and spells. Some of them are much better off than others: the weaker faiths have many more allies. The stronger faiths tend to have more enimies. Two Faiths, Fire and Choas, start out with only one ally, which is each other(two other faiths view them as neutral).
2347 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the authentic game is obviously perfection. its no wonder the games stuck around so long. just be warned. when you order these games on amazon, you don't always know what youll get in the mail. this is my second attempt and I got lucky. found a seller with the authentic game and I can tell you first hand its worth it. im not even upset with the first attempt because this game is so good. when you play this (if you haven't already) you'll understand why so many people have bought and still buy them. you will love this.
Silent Hill to put it mildly was a feast for the eyes the storytelling the twists and turns the scare factor replayability etcc....
7103 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm only deducting a star because of the brightness issue. This game is stupidly dark by default & I don't know how they expected anyone to play it w/o cranking the brightness up. Otherwise it's great & the only way you'll get to play this rare campaign of Doom. Special mention of Aubrey Hodges amazing soundtrack. The Doom theme has never sounded better.
Storm
5922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game thinking that it was going to be the best game ever. Gone are the cartoon and deformed bodys of Cloud and co. and with new graphics which are absolutly amazing, but really it's just characters moving on an oil painting background. I'd seen screenshots and heard various new systems and controls about the game and differences from it's predecesor. The graphics are fantastic, gameplay exceptional and the storyline is also quite good. The addition of renting a car along with the staying in hotels are present and give the game a realistic feel. You can pick up various magazines around the world with different info in them. The game is a worthy challenge for any gamer and there are plenty of secrets to uncover and GF's to find aswell as non-ability GF's and cards to collect. There are plenty of hard bosses including the formidable Ultima and Omega weapons, the latter providing an exceptionally hard challenge indeed. The story is spread over four discs and you get sucked in and addicted easily. It is a fantastic effort by Squaresoft. You've probably by now heard all the great stuff about the game from other reviewers. However, I, and some of my mates, feel that this game dosn't have the same atmosphere as Final Fantasy VII. First of all, there are only six characters and all are met in the first disc which takes away the oppurtunity to explore and discover secret characters (like Yuffie & Vincent in FFVII). Also, all the characters are humans whereas in FFVII you had a dog, a mog and other characters who all had different backgrounds unlike the characters in FFVIII who are all SeeD's, except Rinoa. Some might say that the draw system is better and in a way it is, as is junctioning magic. However, you don't manage to pick up new abilities like you did with the materia such as final attack and mime etc. FFVII drew me in more and I was more tempted to play it that with this one. The atmosphere of Wutai, the slums, the forgotten city, Cosmo Canyon and the Icicle area are gone and you have to deal with second rate places such as Shumi Village and Edea's house. Esthar, Deling, Dollet and Balamb keep the interesting adventure feel up for a while but Timber, Winhill and the previously mentioned places let the side down. Midgar was massive. You spent about 2-4 hours in there at the start of FFVII yet you most you really need to spend in anyone place in this game is about an hour. There is no new armour to buy or any accessories to obtain in crates hidden in caves and the sub quests are very little rewarding. There is no more raising, breeding and racing the chocobos. The card game is an excellent and well thought up addition but there are no other sub games such as bike chases and snow boarding. Overall, this game is one of the best games ever. I suppose it's just a matter of opinion. Some people will prefer FFVII and some will prefer FFVIII. I have given this title 5 stars but it's more of a case of FFVII getting 5 stars and FFVIII getting 4.7 stars. Compared to the rest of the video games out there, this just blows away the competiton. But I don't think that the gameplay is quite up to the standard of Final Fantasy VII. Fans'll love it though.
7091 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game, i rented it a long time ago and have been searching to purchase it for 2 years FINALLY i found it. For the price of only $39.99 This is one of the most RARE Nintendo 64 games EVER, nobody i know has it. I even heard bad reviews about it. WELL those peole don't understand EXCELLENT GAMES when they see one. TREAT yourself and Buy MYSTICAL NINJA STARRING GOEMON (trust me you WONT regret it!)
8164 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Why do I rate this game 1 star? There are several reasons. First and foremost, there is NO SAVEPOINT. In short, you'll have to beat this game in ONE SITTING. Talk about patience. The second major problem that I have with this game is that it is trying to do too much. It is a top-down shooter AND a first-person shooter. The graphics in the top-down mode are fine, but the graphics and textures in FP mode are DREADFUL. Doom has FAR better variety, texture-wise. Personally, I got headaches after playing in FP mode after 30 minutes--and remember, you can't save. So the bottom line is this, if you want to kill dinosaurs, I'd recommend Jurassic Park for the old NES and the Carnivores series for PC. N64 has a Turok the Dinosaur Hunter series out. Pass this game, you'll be glad you did.
Final Fantasy VII's character models, overworld map, and battle scenes are now three-dimensional, but the series hasn't fully made the leap into 3D just yet. The town and dungeon maps may no longer be made up of flat, tiled grids, but they're all still two-dimensional. The 32-bit Final Fantasy games are unique for their pre-rendered environments. Whereas the 8- and 16-bit games' environments were confined to tilesets and the more recent installments are still limited to a finite number of textures and skins that can be displayed at once, the only limitations on the PlayStation-era games' environments were what could be produced with a pen and the artists imagination.
The challenge is fair most of the time, but the problem with it is that once you get a Game Over, you lose a Golden Coin that you have been rewarded from one of the bosses you fight. So, you must go back and fight the boss again. Let's hope you don't die too many times.
All the 3 races is very diffrent from each other.
You play as super spy Gabriel Logan who is a CIA agent trying to stop a dangerous terrorist named Eric Rhoemer. A Syphon Filter virus that targets specific DNA demographics has been created by a man named Phagan and it is up to you to shut down their operations and stop them from spreading the virus. You start out in New York with the streets being shot up by Rhoemer's thugs. There are objectives in each level to complete, but it is way beyond throw this switch, pull this lever, or shoot this amount of bad guys. You usually have to kill a certain amount of scientists, administer vaccines to victims, disarm bombs, turn off power grids. The objectives vary, but what is fun is figuring out how to get there.
Other multiplayers still had home multi player but also went online. Games Like bomberman online,PsO,chu chu rocket were a hit online for a short period. Understand that this is the first system to Fully push online play -- ok people say saturn did and in fact yes their right but if anyone had played it they would probably agree with me that it was a joke. If you've never played online for dreamcast lets say Compared to Ps3, dreamcast would make you laugh. If you are younger and started next gen you may not understand why I even put up with it. Understand even when I played PsO online As slow as dial up was that I put up with it because this was a first. This was like Black ops of 2000. Online play is no longer supported through Sega on dreamcast. I believe if you are smart enough some people still play games like quake 3 online with their dreamcast,somehow.
BAD SIDE: If you dislike elements of horror too much, maybe you will not like it...
2628 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is my dream gameboy colour! I Love it. it is the perfect colour for a gameboy, in my opinion. the system I ordered works great and I couldn't be happier with it. I wouldn't call it a kiwi green but maybe a "toxic" or "neon" green, iether way it's awsome and I would totally recommend this one for any one who likes gameboy colour games.
5635 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game thanks!
Like Starcraft again, Valve constantly released free maps, and variations including Team Fortress Classic- a whole other game in itself, which quite frankly deserves a five-star rating of its own. With 9 unique classes, and goals more detailed then simply "killing", TFC added cunning and strategy to a gaming genre that previously relied on reflexes and the memorizing of maps. It truly feels as though you are on a team in fierce competition. This game is a sport.
on which characters you recruit.
Game was in perfect condition, and quick and timely shipping, I needed it for a birthday and got here the day before.
Good game, good story, nice sound effects. People that bad mouth this game, either didn't give it enough time. Or just can't handle something orginal. Or maybe the people that like this game are of a mold of a different gamer?
Its just like I remembered it from back in the 90s when I first played it.

4700 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Baldur's Gate was the game that mannaged to blow new life into computer roleplaying games. For those of you not familiar with roleplaying games or the AD&D rules, here is a short introduction. You start out with creating your character, selecting a race(dwarf, human, halfling, gnome, elf and half-elf)and a profession(Fighter, mage, cleric(priest), ranger etc, etc). Then you roll up your ability scores each representing one physical or mental ability (strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom and charisma). After creating your character you start the game in Candlekeep, a keep located on the swordcoast famous for its library. You are an orphan raised by your ward Gorion. The start of the game is easy and not very challenging, but it does give you time to get into the game mechanics and there are several tutors in Candlekeep that can give you advice on the game. I will avoid going into any further detail about the game plot as it will ruin the joy of the game.
5130 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like this game a lot. The multiplayer, either skirmish or with some friends, is among the best out there. The game allows for many different ways to attack, like ground invasion, missiles, air strikes, artillery fire, or just nuke the enemy bases. Plus, every attack has a defense, so good players can stop just about every attack against them. This can lead to very long matches with no clear cut winners.
Music: Sonic Adventure shows new music from crush 40 as well as old music from another Sonic game.
4401 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let's get one thing straight. I am biased. I love this game. I would even go so far as to say it is my favorite game. If that makes you mad then that's your problem.
2372 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Always have loved pokemon series and the games. This is definitely my favorite one. Worked good but i bought collectible and it had the previous owners name in sharpie on it. I didn't like that but it works great.
8920 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 son absolutely loves this game, he can keep playing especially when hes bored and nothing to do. Interesting as I like it too.
This is one of the best games I've ever played. I have no real flaws with the game that are even worth bringing up. If you want a fun game to play then pick this one up and enjoy.
4884 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was not a cheap game, but it's rare, so I was expecting that. I wish it had the case, but I'm sure that was part of the reason it was so cheap. Either way, the game is in great condition.
System Shock 2 is one example. Co-developed with Irrational Games, which has its root with LGS, this game uses the famous Dark Engine used in games like Thief and Thief 2. This engine is one of its kind: 1. the physics is realistics (you throw a box up on a slope and you can see it sliding down slowly; you stack a few crates and pull away the lower ones and the rest drop and tumbles); 2. the AI is smart: each critters has eyes and ears and therefore react to sight and sound. Yeap, they can hear where you are. Unlike many games which cheat by letting the creatures knwo where you are, this game simulates the real thing. 3. Sound: I think I need not describe how incredible the sound effect, music and digitised speech this game produces. You can read from all the players reviews. It gives so much atmosphere that I shudder to think what the next version of the engine is going to be like. It's sad that the company has closed.
Online economy in this game is complex. It suffered lots of abuse and different kinds of exploits by less then honest players.
2652 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 but still excellent. Highly recommende for th fighter fan who still plays the old PS One. Great graphics, sound and uber-fast gameplay.
-Graphics are so amazing, it looks like you are really killing real people
1. While most games have puzzles that have very little connection to whatever storyline they manage to put together (hi, Dreamcatcher), the puzzles in GKIII are very well integrated into a rich storyline. Some of them are quite difficult to figure out (you can always find hints on the net), but once you do figure it out you don't feel cheated for your efforts because the solutions always make logical sense (although you might have chosen a different tactic in real life). Jane's puzzles also involve more than finding different objects lying on the ground and clicking them randomly on hot spots. For one thing, the environment is too rich and non-linear for this to work. The player is actually rewarded for thinking.
6314 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was interested in "Planescape: Torment" because for years I've missed the thrills of playing AD&D in my friend's basement. 15 years in fact, but I still remember the rules and the spells, the races and classes, etc.
4864 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many racing simulations simply don't have the real thrill in themselves, because their drivers can be turned into complete beginners, which can't even sit behind the wheel. Driver is different. You have to qualify for the game and then the fun beginns. From driving around the city and getting acquainted with it up to full adrenaline challenges against the cops - over 40 missions will surely be enough for quite a while. And the police certainly isn't so stupid as it could be presumed - you'll have to give your best to outrun them. Graphics and sounds are near perfect. Oh, and DO CRASH at least once - the crashes are so nice...
I realize that there are many people out there that do not want to go through the hassle of having to do more than buying the game in order to play the game. Specifically, the people who usually lose the instruction manual to their games the second after they open the box. In this case, how is the person going to be able to get the glove if they could not provide the object that Nintendo was looking for? Nintendo should have found some other way to distribute the gloves. A way that would allow anyone who has the game, and cannot keep track of everything, get there hands on, or in, a glove.
so after the attack is in full force, i frequently find myself turning the game off. why am i putting myself through this? why is getting attacked by an armada fun ? let me go read a walkthrough ...
Mediocre.
4912 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It does what it says it will. Doesn't come unplugged unexpectedly or anything.
9006 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game came as expected n_n just the way I was expecting it to and it works
Highest recommendations.
The puzzling gameplay is pretty addicting, and it is still a fun game to this day.
Cities will offer you money in exchange for building track out to them, and the more cities you connect, the more types of goods you have to offer to other stations on the line. As you move on in the game you can move on to different areas, even building a network of rails across Europe. You get annual reports with your finances, can purchase stock in your own company or from competitors. You can buy farms and factories, invest, take out loans, but if you wish, you can simply ride the rails and move goods.
And flip & stack them too. Now pull this lever & go to the next room over & do more block puzzles. Fun right? Such a load crap
There's just this certain feeling you get when you play your favorite game (in a franchise) that makes you wanna cry tears of joy.
6199 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
SD card or WII memory for easy storage. I'll soon download the game from my WII and finish the game at my own pace.
Or, at least, with your super-powerful dog.
The bad: Creatures can get VERY annoying
3191 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Dreamcast certainly had an abundance of fighting games. You could easily fill your shelves with Capcom's fighters alone. But one title stands as not only the best game on the system, but the one of the greatest games ever made.
Cons
Of course, there are some people who maintain that Civ 2 is the zenith of Civ-game development. And taken in context, Civ 2 was probably a greater accomplishment =for=the=time=. But it's hard going back.
In this game, you play any of eight characters in 16 traditional courses and 4 battle zones. Choose from Mario, Yoshi, Wario, Peach, Luigi, Toad, Donkey Kong, and Bowser. The graphics are a bit more intact than the other racing games that came later for the system. Although it might try to drown you out a little bit at a time, when you complete the four racing cups quickly. Luckily, the game truly makes up for it in the Vs. mode, where you are head-to-head n a battle with up to four players in the race.
There's nothing that you can't shoot or destroy.
UPDATE --A fan "finished" the game with release of a 3.02 patch that corrects some problems from the earlier released 3.01 beta patch (use keyword search as described above to find both patches).
This game really changed about the FPS gaming. It just made me think different about FPS. It truly is a masterpiece. I won't spoil this games amazing story of the g man's adventure. I won't even say how good this game is you just have to play it for your self.
BUT: This game has bugs. One really bad one I found is when i was making a trade (this is a easy thing to do, and will happen often). I paid a lot of gold and stuff for some crossbowmen, and I never got them. It has only happened to me two times.
2999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many years have passed since I first played this amazing title. Love it or hate it, Final Fantasy 7 broke new ground in the RPG market, and games today have a lot to be thankful for that Final Fantasy 7 made possible.
6638 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 As a big fan of the TV show, I was really looking forward to the home version, and undoubtedly so were thousands of other fans. Unfortunately, the folks at Disney and Jellyvision were clearly aware of that, and the rush was obviously on to get this game to market as soon as possible, before the craze could die down. The result is a game that doesn't come close to matching either the TV show or Jellyvision's previous efforts.
-Portrait Of Ruin (DS)
Soul Calibur has a simple way of fighting. You've got horizontal, vertical and kick attacks. You can also guard and, of course, move all around the ring. You can also combine attacks by pressing two buttons simultaneously for different attacks. The implimentation of 8 way run really increases the number of moves which can be done. It's simple to pick up Soul Calibur but the game itself is fairly difficult to master. Unlike other games, there is actually qutie an emphasis on pokes, precise strikes and quick moves rather than emphasising the need to learn tons of special moves and combos. It certainly doesn't hurt to learn these things, but no one will feel powerless when playing Soul Calibur. But it does have a few complex moves and combos none the less. Some characters have slide input movements while others may have attacks that require much more precise timing. Anyone can pick up the game and utilize pokes, but a true master will actually have to sit down and train with some of their favorite characters.

Theres one downside to Max Payne, lack of multi-player. if you want to have fun with some friends, sorry, look somewhere else becuase Max Payne won't let you play on the net.
DIFFICULTY: Moderate, it depends if you want all the items and secrets or not. Not hard just to beat however.
It's an in-depth game set in the Star Wars galaxy where you can build fleets, organize missions, convert planets, assault planets, and fight in massive tactical battles. The game is incredibly massive in and of itself; and this can be quite intimidating for the beginner. Even on the easiest and smallest level of the game the AI acts the same, but only has a limited amount of starting planets and resources. To be frank, this often makes the game frustrating for the "newbie". However, this is just one obstacle. Once the basics of the game are learned it is actually quite enjoyable. The idea of controlling your own empire per se is a Star Wars fan's dream. You're there and you decide how things will play out.
There's music on this disc if you put the game in a CD player. Really melodic, catchy music that isn't anywhere in the game. It's good. Try it.
I love this game. GT3 is OK but THIS game is the meat. All other car games should be compared to THIS masterpiece!
And yes, SquareSoft did include a Final Fantasy character in this game, the tough boss Culex. He is actually much more difficult than the game's final boss, Smithy. Fighting Culex is a treat because of the classic Final Fantasy background you fight him on, as well as the Final Fantasy battle music and, if you win, the Final Fantasy battle victory theme. Very cool. On top of that, the terms on which you part from Culex are friendly, and he even gives you a cool item.
The first thing you'll notice about the game is the FMV opening. All of the CG cutscenes in this game hold up well and still look good to this day. The character model's faces portray emotion very well, and the music in the opening is excellent. In fact, all of the music in this game is excellent. No matter where the misfortune brings Harry, be it a closed-down elementary school, a twisted hospital full of killer nurses, or the town's pitch black sewer system, the music follows, instilling a sense of dread in the player. The music doesn't always play, so when it does come in to break the silence, it really packs a punch. Sometimes rooms with only puzzles in them have music, and while there are no enemies inside to threaten you, you'd rather walk right back out the door to face an army of puppet nurses rather than listen to the spine chilling arrangement that can be heard inside. That's how well it works. While we're on the topic of sound design, even the voice acting holds up well. Unlike the original Resident Evil, which has abysmal voice acting, the characters of Silent Hill sound real. There are still some awkwardly read lines, but they're nothing compared to the infamous "Jill Sandwich" line (Hill Sandwich? Anyone..? ...No?). In my PSN digital copy, there are times when the characters have one-word lines, and the game opts to clip out the rest of the spoken word after the first syllable. Not sure if that's an issue with the original disc, but it's not a game-breaking problem, so it doesn't bother me.
Only 3 negative things I have to say.
4483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All the five star reviews (which of course are the majority) are exactly correct. This game has made its way onto three of my computers over the years, and it will no doubt be installed on my future computer. If it ever stops working on modern operating systems (no problems with XP) than I shall keep my current rig (P3 800 PCI Geforce2...) so I can always play this game, along with the other best PC games ever: Thief 1&2, System Shock 1&2, Deus Ex and Baldur's Gate 2.
8470 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought this for my Retron 5 mostly because of nostalgia. I have the Snes version which to me is better. The sound on this port is garbled. The graphics are okay. Close enough to the original for being on the Genesis. The only issue i came across was with the 6 button Hyperkin controller. It kept selecting things in menus and freaking out. When I plugged in an official controller it worked. All in all a decent port.
568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still really fun, n64 does a great job with flight and race simulaters.
In Drakan you take on the role of Rynn, a wasp-wasted redhead with much less attitude than Lara Croft, (Why is it that most male's concept of what it means to be a strong female character means they have to be snotty, arrogant, and pushy?), and is instead embarking on an adventure to rescue her kid brother. However, this doesn't last because she soon learns of plans to unleash a dark god who once menaced the world of Drakan a millennia ago. And in so doing, Rynn must awaken Aroch, a mighty fire breathing red dragon from his centuries long slumber, (players of AD&D might kvetch over a good-aligned red dragon, but this isn't really AD&D, though it certainly draws a great deal from the game).
5093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Had this one when i was a kid back in 1999 and i sold it , and now being a MGS collector i had to buy it again.
DIGDUG
Despite the VERY harsh review of gamecritics.com, I thought this game was actually really good. A nice breath of fresh air from the very linear, but nonetheless brilliant, Final Fantasy games.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2
I still gotta say that I wouldn't play it for it's story mode. Personally, I'd play it for it's multiplayer mode because that's what the game is really good at! That and I personally thought you could do a lot more in the vs modes rather than in the story modes.
Another bad thing is that they don't have the cute characters like the other two games. I would buy Spyro 3 first and then buy Spyro 1. I think Spyro 3 has more stuff to do and has a better story line. I even think Spyro has a better voice. If you like all three Spyro's, try buying the Spyro pack. It is much cheaper than buying all of the games seperatly. Then you can decide which one is better!!
9228 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wish there were more characters but it's ok I guess. The game is not hard once you know your character an learn the moves. One of the Top fighting games of snes.
Hydro Thunder
Visually, VR Missions is on par with the original Metal Gear Solid, the only real problem being that they didn't opt to create more different looking levels. So much of the stages look fairly generic, save for a few missions where you'll find yourself in some familiar looking areas from Metal Gear Solid. You can only stare at virtual space for so long. Much of the music sounds very good though. While the soundtrack isn't exactly huge, it plays a good part in letting the player know that through and through this is not an action game. It is definitely a puzzle game.
Twisted Metal (2012 for PS3)=Didnt play this one but heard it was good
8727 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My family recently unearthed our Sega Genesis and once again we can not get enough of Sonic The Hedgehog. We have a pretty diverse collection of Sega games, but this one always seems to rise to the top. As far as the 'fun factor' goes, I'd easily stack it up against a fair percentage of my PS2 library. I don't know much about the ports, except to say that Sonic has been made available on the Playstation, the Xbox, and even made portable for the Game Boy Advance. I haven't played any of these, but the reviews I have seen are fair, at best. So, proceed with caution.
THE GOOD:
3155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 7 is one of the greatest playstation games. It is better than Final Fantasy 8 because of its story. Final Fantasy is a great time if you are looking for something that will keep you happy till you get a playstation 2. This game is one of the best.
6071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game one to go back and relive my childhood. The soundtrack is amazing as well as the color work and game it self. Pretty challenging and slippery. And by slippery you'd know what I meant if you gave it a try.
Label was intact, no sharpie on my copy either.
You have to buy this game if you liked Tekken or Tekken 2, or if you like classic games like Streetfighter, or like fighting games. Fantastic!
6649 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Morpheus seems to be a sleeper amoung the adventure games. I played this one a few months ago and loved it. If you like games like Riven and Obsidian, you'll enjoy Morpheus, too.
Drawbacks? Well the graphics are not an improvement over delta force one though they are pretty cool. You do need to update the game all the way because there are a few problems that needed to be fixed and you'll want to maximize your resolution. The game can be just a bit choopy and sluggish at times which brings me to why i only have a 4* rating.
Problems include glitches; falling through walls and losing saves, in fact that is the only thing keeping me from finishing the game. The rope swinging is also a problem. It's hard getting it to swing as is aiming.
1851 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Crash Bandicoot is one of my oldest games on my oldest system, the Playstation. Still, I have never grown tired of playing levels, which used to be challenges that now I pass with a breeze. The levels are awe inspiring. Water is flowing without a crack, the jungle is incredibly lush, and the characters have no mistakes from their hair to their sneakers. Story is interesting too-you have to save Crash's girlfriend Tawna from Dr. Neo Cortex. The only disadvantage is the limited controls-jump and spin. This game brought two sequels and two other games that involve racing and mini games. No wonder.
5702 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great game overall and will keep you busy for awhile the onlt problem with this is ...
Graphically, Intelligent Qube looks incredibly smooth. For a puzzle game like this, it looks top notch. There's not a whole lot to the graphics, however as aside from the cubes and your little sprite running around there's nothing too complex to the graphics.
12-3D half pipe stage(95%)Wow! The best bonus level on any game ever! At first,impossible. But you'll get the hang of it!
1297 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best N64 games ever.
The fight with Boba Fett had me sitting there with my mouth hanging open going.."Is this really happening"........"Am I really fulfilling a childhood dream of fighting Fett?"
The 2D games were silky smooth and the graphics look great in Trilogy. Every level as well as a lot of fan favorite music is in the game (you can pull the soundtrack right off the disc.) Using the run button, pulling off a 5 hit combo, and then blocking, jumping around, and using all the signature moves brings back a great feeling of nostalgia. There are some secrets hidden in here such as a special code screen (1 button Fatalities are awesome), plus some original outfits like Raiden, and Kano's original outfit which also unlocks their original Fatality. Of course the game is best played with two people, but single player is also a lot of fun.
Overall: Great ideas, wonderful grafics, very original plot and characters, original game structure...but it could have been realized better.
-Fighting controls
Simple yet satisfying story
Controls: **** (Takes a while to get used to, you won't want to try another control setup once you do)
6752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MK 3 is one of the funniest and most exciting games I'd ever played. I Already had beaten it a few times.
3336 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game was good it actually has talking in it you don't have to read everything its pretty difficult in a way that its fun and its not too short there is a story-line to it the game works great no unable to read disc errors or anything like that
wanted this game and only played it a
Overall, I can only recommend this for fans of the original show, game collectors and gamers looking for a simple, fun game. If you're looking for a great challenging game that will test your skills, then I couldn't recommend this.
I've been reading a lot of negative reviews here, apparently from 12-year olds who don't understand the meaning of 'subtlety'. No, you don't go around shooting things constantly. You must sneak quietly and stay in the shadows. And when a passerby suddenly discovers you, you will feel a surge of adrenaline unlike that which can be found in a typical twitch shooter.
2633 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked this thing. It played in color, but used up batteries fast. The sound isn't all that great (too quiet), and the screen scratches easily.
The one quarrel I have, though it is a given for all pre 96ish (i think) PlayStation games is you can't use the analog sticks, which i always used in the third AC, and even though it's just a little stick, not having it really takes away from the flying feel.
This is one of the best values out there, period.
264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have the old, fat PS2. So far no problems at all with this memory card. Very inexpensive, lots of storage space! Great buy!
love the F6F "Hellcat" as a fighter plane--it accounted for nearly 80 percent of all the Japanese aircraft shot down in air-to-air combat in the Pacific, and had a 19-1
If you are hooked and want to relive the magic- go get an old NES or SNES from your cousins or someone and buy the previous Zelda games and you'll see why Zelda's a classic.
I've never been into multiplayer modes, but if you're into that kind of thing, you'll REALLY love this game. Some multiplayer matches can go on for a LONG time, since the levels are so well-designed.
2.) The Gold Saucer
For the most part, I play StarCraft for the single player campaign. Not only is it fun, but the characters actually make you care about them. For me, the characters are the most compelling aspect of the single player campaign.
Why should you get such an old game?
1008 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to be honest: Normally, I'm not into these first person shooter games. They're just so clunky, most of the time you can't tell where you're going, you don't know if an enemy is behind you, (Or at times even in front of you, if you get a weird camera angle) and plus might I add that you can't see your character, which does not really, (For me, most of the time) give that whole imaginative feel that you ARE that character.
2064 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 ...in more ways than one. Besides the overall poor quality of the game, there was that camera! Honestly, whoever designed that thing needs to be smacked with a wet fish.
2562 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 An essential item for any game user and I LOVE the color!!!!!
This is proof of Square's original "GOLD STANDARD" days, before they became Square Enix.
This game is very easy, monsters don't "suprise attack" you as they do in games like Donkey Kong Country and Mario Bros 1, where you have to know they are coming before you can avoid them. Most of the monsters in this game are visible before you get close to them, making it easy to avoid them.
4289 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's an old game, but still is the best full 3D real-time strategy game I have ever played. The 3D controls are easy once you understand how they work (pay attention during the tutorial game).
Donkey Kong Country 2 keeps a lot of the familiar elements of the first one intact. As with the first one you spend a lot of time running from left to right. Both characters are more unique, however. In the first game, Donkey and Diddy were primarily the same. While Diddy might run faster, they both typically had the same abilities. Here, things are different. Diddy has his cartwheel, but Dixie has a helicopter spin which allows her to glide. Every level ends when you find the target at the end, which can sometimes grant you bonuses such as an extra life or tokens.
3156 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While being an excellent RPG, it is not up to the caliber of the originals, especially III(US)/VI. There is definaltely lots of eye candy with the excellent graphics and awesome FMV. Where this game really lacks is in its replay value. Its a onetimer. I don't think I could bear to go though the whole thing again. There were too many things that were too tedious in the game, namely the materia and chocobo development (which they drastically improve with IX). Developing materia is an endless task that requires ungodly hours of play and the payoff, ie. master materia, just isn't worth it. As for the Chocobo development while interesting at first it proved to be highly redundant as the game consistantly had a habit of birthing the wrong chocos and the races became more of a chore than a fun little sidequest. Overall though a good game not to terribly difficult if your not interested in finding all the secrets, but only really worth playing once.
Giants has raised the bar in graphics and gameplay, which may strike some the wrong way. Those of you who with computers barely ahead of the obsolescence curve, might feel a bit left behind. Those of you who are still running on older video cards, like I was, might have some problems. Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast.
4895 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I look back now at when I bought this game, as well as several other great games, I can't remember exactly what inspired me to buy it. What I do know is why I kept it. Suikoden 2 is not only the best game in the suikoden series, it's also one of the greatest role playing games to ever grace the market. The story is rich and immersive, the characters memorable and iconic, and the battle system is classical perfection.
I also love when everything is nice and quiet, and then you accidentally walk right by a guard. When this happens, a loud sound effect comes in that gives off a feeling of "Oops, my bad!" because now the guard is chasing you around. You now have to run for your life. I didn't realize last year that this is actually a lot of fun. This IS a really good game. I'm sorry for saying it was average last year. Sometimes I need to actually PLAY a game before speaking my mind.
There are two things I didn't like about the game. I wish it had more plot involved, and that isn't too much of a gripe, but Mega Man 2 (NES) basically had the same type and had more storyline involved (Dr. Wily wants to exact revenge upon Mega Man, hence the game's subtitle). Secondly, the game is actually not that hard, but it's made even more difficult because of the game boy's tiny screen, which makes him have a lower lifebar and smaller surroundings.
Controlls are easy to get use to
As far as challenge goes, you'll get all you want. Just try beating the entire game on the hardest difficulty and see the headache you get. And if you get through with that, buy the expansion pack and eat your heart out.
There are too many new units and cumbersome rules associated with them. The cursed televangelist keeps popping up out of nowhere, converting cities and eating into your empire's resources. The lawyer hides just as you are about to move a military unit to kill him. Building cities in space and under water may sound like a lot of fun and a novelty compared to the two original Civilizations. But playing at lower levels, this won't be interesting, becuase you will learn how to crush your opponents before acquiring the technology for underwater and space construction; at higher levels, the game becomes too difficult and too cluttered with units and characters to persevere with marine and space existence. The only real improvement over Civilization II is that governments are more stable during war. In Civ II, if you wanted to wage a serious war, you had to install monarchy or fundamentalism, or your government would collapse. Bottom line: maybe it's because I am older, but I did not enjoy this game as much as Civilization II. What comes out of "Call to Power" screams for help to bring more original and well-crafted games to the market.
It was orginal back then, where archaeologist Lara Croft, a female Indiana Jones, is called upon to use her intelligence, amazing physical skills, and her big guns to solve complexed and ancient puzzles, battle hard enemies and travel the whole world in style. I forget the storyline, since I haven't played this game in ages, but it's good. You should ask my mom, who played and beat every "Tomb Raider" game(Sorry mom). I'm not kidding! She did! The graphics are surprisingly good to look at, as well as the hard puzzles to solve(which made it famous to play) and the fun movie scenes. Check out the dinosaur too in this game. it's a blast!
7317 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is an awesome game and has very good control, but the story is questionable. Dark is the pefect agent at her academy but she hasn't even been on an actual mission. Anyway, the graphics really take advantage of the expansion pak. The sound is really good and the difficulty is moderate and the last level is really really really hard, even on agent. Well no matter what games you like Perfect Dark will satisfy any gamer, oyu can't go wrong with this one.
In this one, Link lives in a forest with the forest folk. Link is soon inside the Deku Tree to defeat the evil monsters that moved into the tree. After a battle with the queen spider, the Deku Tree sadly dies and tells Link to find Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule.
7694 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun
I could remember the time i went to the arcade with a friend, I found this game and i just HAD to play it. The graphics were weak in the arcade, but then they had it on ps1, which the graphics are much better. I won't say this is the best game i ever played, but hey, it's not fair comparing a 90s game to a current. SO let's just put it this way because I'm bored.
9514 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well I have had this game for a month and I can say I like it. The graphics and sound are good even to this day. The only down side is that it is VERY hard, I have had it for a month and I am still stuck on level 3. But all in all this is a great game for retro gamers and battletoads fans I recommed it
5488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Kain has opted not to sacrifice himself, and there are forces out there that would have you believe that this once noble knight was now a selfish and aarogant tyrant, and while this seems true if there's one thing we learned from Blood Omen, things are not as they appear.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a Game Boy Color version of that game that saved the gaming industry. However, there's a bunch of features in this game that make it even better!
5960 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 ...I finally broke out of the hyptnotization that the game had gotten me into, and now I realize this game for what it is...I didn't like the game...battle.net is a JOKE. Yeah, you heard me. B.net gets about as FAR AWAY from 'quality' as you can GET. Yeah, I just love getting disconnected every 5 minutes and racing straight into the Black Wall of Death, and not seeing my messages appear for 5 minutes, and not being able to pick up items!
AGE RECOMMENDATION: 12 and up
Multiplayer is a complete blast, and more options are offered than any other RTS game. You can play team games where you and your allies are actually controlling the same units against the computer or others, in addition to a wide range of variations like Capture the Flag, etc.
8251 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Next to Sega CD the worst version of DOOM. The graphics suck and you can barely tell what anything is, the sound is decent (the one star), the controls are horrid, the gameplay is horrid and the shores of hell freezes up on start, so all you really have is a butchered port of Knee Deep & Inferno with horrid controls. Terrible.
Final Fantasy Tactics is easily one of the best games in the series. It is not, however, for the beginner or the inexperienced Tactical Strategy game player. For those who don't wimp out, however, Final Fantasy Tactics is rewarding.
452 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since I was young, I have been in love with the Tekken series. Brings back a lot of good memories. I bought this game to bring back the memories and the fun. Though the graphics aren't as top notch at games these days are, but it's still an entertaining game to play. If you collect either Tekken stuff or video games, this is a must own. This sequal is too good to miss out on. Buy it before it's gone for good.
enjoyable for all.
The CONS:...right here. While BAR looks and sounds like an arcade racer, it uses real car physics so part of the challenge comes to getting used to how it feels and controls. The cars you start out with are slow and rigid while the ones you unlock later on control much better. Also, the A.I. cars start off slow and don't pose a challenge but as you play through each difficulty level, they go faster, bump into you and rarely make a mistake so don't be surprised if you have to try again to finish in 1st place. This game is for those who want to put in time to unlock all the goodies here so if you want to pick up and play right away, you won't have access to the entire game from the get go.
Oil Ocean- 8/10: The first Sonic level with a sadder tone to it. Every other zone was boosting with peppy music and bright colors, even in a chemical factory. Oil Ocean had a orange background that showed a shaky sun. The entire level's bottom part was covered in oil. Oil Ocean is one of my favorites because of the sadder pace, though.
Smoother, more refined and much more reliable multiplayer...
Difficultly: The game puts up little resistance when trying to beat it but trying to master it(100% comletion) is extremely difficult. Some levels may be harder than others but there are a few trials in the game.
5311 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First off im just gonna say that this game is very weird, one of the most unique games ever. You will probably never play any game like this unless there is a sequel. This is because of the way you learn new spells, you date women! This is very funny because of what they ask and their different reactions, and it is in dialogouge and interactive anime! My complaints are in the battle system factor, it is just kinda dumb. Your three characters are lined up in a row and when on dies the other comes in, so you only fight with one character at a time. This game is very fun, and it can help all those desperate guys out there who aren't gettin' any action. ^_^
8108 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Cannot say enough good things about this. Don't know why I am writing a review when so many great reviews have been written. It really IS like being in an episode of the series. There are unexpected twists and turns also. They even managed to maintain the political correctness of Star Trek whilst allowing you to blow the hudaka out of enemies.
Discovering her roots as an adventurer.
The STORY is very well done I can say. Even though it does not really keep pace within the game, it is very interesting and revives a cult classic monster....zombies! Vicious murders have plauged the town of Racoon City and it is up to the S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) to find out where the source of these murders are coming from. You take on the role as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine and attempt to investigate a house infested with things that go bump in the night. Get ready to immerse yourself in the game that started the genre - Survival Horror.
7673 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!
Strength (up it by attacking)
Now for the real review. This game is pretty interesting and it really isn't that difficult, you don't need to be an adept gamer by today's standard to complete this game either. The most challenging part for me would be the boss fights. Also, it may get confusing what to do at times to progress in the story but luckily they have a fortune teller you can go to if you ever get lost, forget what to do or just get stumped. The story of the game is comedic and very easy to dive into and follow through. You don't need to remember anything complex to progress in the game and to follow its story as you go. The soundtrack for the title screen and your companion robot "Impact" is very catchy regardless if you don't understand Japanese..Gangnam style was catchy too lol. This is a very unique game by its standards of its time and now. it's different as an adventure game and it was great diving back to my childhood and finally completing the game and seeing how it ends. If you were lucky to stumble across this unheard of game and haven't beaten it yet and have desired to do so then I would recommend you get this game. Remember to purchase a memory pack so you can save the game as it doesn't allow you to simply save your progress on the cartridge.
Ease of use: 5
9910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the more memorable games of my childhood. The music is awesome, the level design is extremely creative, and the controls are simple. 20 years later this game is still great.
It was short and sweet but fun at the same time. Millions of copies were sold and only prompted Nintendo to make sequels, which were better efforts overall. So if you're curious about where Kirby started out and you have yet to play this game, search for a used copy and pop it into your Game Boy. You won't regret it.
5006 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Silent Hill is a classic. This game proved that sometimes, video games should be played by adults instead of little kids. This is the real deal. I firmly believe that the first three Silent Hill games are the scariest games ever made. There is just something torturous and macabre about these games.. U will not find it anywhere else... And it all started with Silent Hill for the PS1. Enjoy and make sure to have some protection near by!!!
THE GOOD
5262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thief The Dark Project by Looking glass studios is an FPS game,No it is not a fist person shooter it is a first person sneaker,You have to sneak through the levels undetected. Thief is an orginal game and the very first sneaker game. Thief has a great storyline,One of the best stories ever told in a computer game. You play garrett a masterthief. The game is very tense and very very dark,As you play you will find yourself sitting closer and closer to the monitor screen. While playing it is better that you runaway if you get noticed by the gaurds instead of challenging them to a duel,because Garrett is not a very strong guy and the gaurds are not weaklings to fall down with a couple of blows. And when you lie down on the floor or hide in a dark corner of the place the gaurds wouldnt notice you. You need to solve the objectives without killing anyone but thats what makes the game so enjoyable. The objectives of the game are very hard in one level you need to follow the gaurds through the city streets without them noticing you.
If you are new to sotn don't dismiss it outright, look into and admire the richness of it like someone would a fine wine.

495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So, this is where it all began - the original Tomb Raider. In November 1996, Britain was changing. With the phenomenal success of the Spice Girls and the phrase "girl power", there wasn't a better time to bring out an all-female computer game heroine who kicked [rear]! Enter Lara Croft. The game went straight to No. 1 all over the world and shifted more than 10 million copies to become THE biggest selling PlayStation game of all time. Lara soon became a cultural icon, gracing hundreds of magazine covers the world over - and not just computer magazines, mainstream magazines such as Rolling Stone and Time; undoubtedly the biggest magazine names in the world. Four sequels followed in the form of Tomb Raider II, Tomb Raider III, Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider IV: Chronicles. The five games have sold a combined total of 40 million worldwide and secured Eidos Interactive and more importantly, Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, a place in video gaming history as undoubtedly the greatest, most popular and enjoyable computer games of all time.
I've already pre-ordered my copy. If you're comping at the bit for this title, I'd suggest you do the same.
5. comes with a USEFUL and FUN training mode where it shows you a new move and lets you try the steps until you achieve it. This makes practice mode more engaging.
Pretty much every game is touted as the best game ever made, but few games have been hailed as such as consistently as A Link to the Past. There's a reason for that, and I think it's more than mere nostalgia.
It's a shame that Squaresoft and Nintendo didn't do any future joint projects together because this is a gaming feat. Perhaps they will now that Squaresoft is releasing past games on the Game Boy Advanced (Super Mario RPG for Advanced anyone?), but that has yet to be seen. My advice for you is to GET THIS GAME. The difficulty factor is rather easy, but do yourself a favor and engage yourself in a superb RPG.
after completing 3 childhood dungeons and playing the song of time in the temple of time, you find yourself frozen in a time warp for 7 years, waking up at age 18 (i believe) waking up in adulthood you make your way across 5 more dungeons before conquering the final fortress, and facing one desperate final stand from the evil thats been behind all the trouble from the start.
Summary: Lot's of hope for this game with some much needed polish.
2521 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased a lime green GB color from Sosa Games in used but very good condition. Came within about a week. The GB was in excellent condition and it functions 100%! I am very impressed. Sosa Games had even put a brand new screen on the GB. Even came with the matching battery cover! Only advice I recommend before purchasing one of these games is to look at the seller profile, really look at the conditions and descriptions. Some post picture of what they're selling while some do not! I am extremely happy with this purchase!!
1394 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i found this game to be a challenge at first, used to the old side-scrolling games of mario it took some time to get used to the fact its now in 3D.
Not so good graphics(Faces are flat in FMVs)
Suffice it to say that A Link to the Past had the right mix of storyline development and player freedom, a feat I'd consider unmatched by any later entry into this franchise.
8220 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very awesome game. LOL i am fifteen but i got this game when i was about eight when i first started playing these horror games and boy was i scared. Being a RE freak and a horror game freak, this game is the mother of all....

914 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you own a N64 this game has to be in your collection. Not only is it a classic that offers countless replayability, but it is a great competitive/party game to battle/play with friends and family.
Pros:Everything except the cons.
5. The bad guys are challenging, but not so challenging that you'll be ripping your hair out. Once you beat them, you feel satisfied.
Twisted Metal 3: In this installment twisted goes for a much more realistic driving feel for the cars. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing but to most fans it just wasn't as fun. This was 989 studios first attempt to make a twisted metal game and fans trying out twisted metal for the first time tend to be the only fans that like 3 the best. However a few of the early twisted metal fans like 3 better but the game play turned off a large percentage of fans so this one is hit or miss try it you might like it best or you might not like it at all. In the end 989 failure to appeal to a large amount of the fans of the franchise put twisted metals popularity into a downward spiral.

6609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Anthology is a collection of two of the greatest RPGs to have ever graced not only the Super Nintendo, but any other console system as well. Both FFIV and V are stellar instalments of the epic franchise that video game fans have grown to not just love, but obsess about. If you're not familiar with the series, they are not your typical U.S. AD&D dugeon crawls, they are epic stories that usual cross entire worlds and many times involve the destruction of whole continents. Your cast of heroes is usually a motley colletion of sword swingers, amnesiac wizards, martial artists, cross-dressing pirates, mystical moogles (you have to see them to understand), etc, etc, etc. They definately are quirky and have a style all their own. Final Fantasy paved the way for the modern style of Japanese RPGs, and this set is an excellent way to relive the golden age of Square in the 16 bit era. I would like to note that the Japanese version of this anthology included FFIII (FFII over here), but instead we get a disc of music from the two games included. If the two games were so amazingly stellar it would hurt the review, but I just can't bring myself to give this collection anything less than 5 stars. Don't let the archaic graphics drive you away from this wonderful, wonderful video game experience.
So why am I writing this review now, 7 years after the release date? For a few reasons. First, being that I can't get the game out of my head for more than a few months. Every six months I go back to it. The second reason, is that when I bought a PS2, I knew I would be playing the original Tomb Raider again and wanted that backward capability. And THIRD and quite possibly the most important (and the reason I titled this review "Dear Eidos") is that Angel of Darkness was the single reason that I sold my PS2 for an X-Box. At first I enjoyed AOD, but the game has rampant problems. I've always welcomed a new Tomb Raider game in my life and gave AOD more than one chance. I loved all the other PS1 Tomb Raider games, including III, which got a lot of harsh and unwarranted criticisms in my mind, but whatever. I hated AOD and want Eidos to know that. And FOURTH reason is that I repurchased the new and compact PSOne last week. I still own my Tomb Raider from back in the day. Last night I played it and the magic was back like from the first time I played it. Sure the graphics feel older, but they are by no means bad at all considering that I play games like Halo, Crimson Skies, Prince of Persia, and Rainbow Six 3 on the X-Box. There will always be a large place in my geeky video-gaming heart for this true classic.
6369 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Yet another in the turgid 'Wing Commander' series, 'Prophecy'thankfully reduces the amount of dull, plotless FMV, whilst notsignificantly improving the gameplay, which doesn't seem to have evolved very much since the original 'Wing Commander'. Your ship still doesn't 'feel' as if it is flying through space, the supposedly-invincible bad guys are more of a nuisance than a threat, and if you fail a mission it will probably be because you failed to protect something that you were not told about.
9791 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite game of the series for the following reasons. You actually begin the game on the Raccoon City streets and get to explore small sections of the city on your way to the police station. Once there you explore this creepy massive building. The building itself is old and from another era and its very architectural style helps create loads of atmosphere. There's a lot of enemies and of course your resources are limited as usual. The story's great and you learn more of Umbrellas history. The game has two discs and can be played as either Leon or Claire. It's generally the same game but each has slightly different weapons and a few new small areas to explore. The game has multiple endings so to see them all you'll need to replay it many times. Improvements over the first game have been made such as more zombies on screen at once and nicer pre-rendered backgrounds. If you're just getting into the series you'll definitely want to play this one. This is the one game most fans want to see Capcom remake like they did the original. Personally I think it's the best of the older Resident Evil games.
Head-to-head mode provides another method of unlocking characters. Beating a character in match play enables you to use it in the other modes. The game also saves your records with each character against all the others. The best play with this mode, though, is against other players. You can set handicaps, bet on each hole, the front nine, back nine, closest to pin, longest drive, and you can even play slot-machine golf, where each player gets only a random wood, long iron, and short iron for each hole - if you're lucky and get three stars, you get the full complement, but if you only get one star, you get one fewer club. Try playing a par-5 hole with your longest club being a 4-iron!
6429 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've had this game for a week. I finally picked it up, played it, and explored the game a bit. I'm still learning the game, but here's the story how it is so far.
7934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is what is said when you are victorious. TThis game rocks this game started it all. I think if Mortal Kombat wasn't envented there would be no good fighting games out there. This Game rocks.
If you're looking for a challenge than this is it for you. If all you need is a good "whooping" fixx than this is unfortunately not for you on the basis that you have to dedicate a lot of game time to it. If you need a good fighting fixx than I would suggest any other great fighting title that is on SNES such as Mortal Kombat II, Street Fighter II or Street Fighter Alpha (either is a great title). It's still a good game but if you don't have the committment for it, it's not worth it.
Added to Nemisis himself is the wonderful, useful dodge ability. Tired of Zombies walking through your hail of fire to rip open your neck? Charge them and push them back! Tired of spiders wraping their legs around you and pumping you full of poison? Jump aside. It is so nice to actually roll out of the way of a enemies swinging claws. And RE3 is the only game so far where you get to do this.
Is RTS in its most pure state.
6400 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent!
The first half of the game is truly spooky, with numerous close encounters of the ectoplasmic kind and lots of paranormal activity showing up on your equipment. One such encounter actually made my heart stop for a minute, even though I was expecting it. Another that I wasn't expecting made me afraid to go back to the game for a minute. The atmosphere of weirdness is aided by the sound effects which are used subtly and with great skill. You're always thinking you're about to stumble on something unexpected and sometimes you do. Nothing is very grotesque or frightening in and of itself, but the atmosphere of suspense makes even the ordinary seem hair-raising.
The 64 had a simple controller for fun game play. There are only a few buttons, A, B, Z, C-pad, R1, L1, joystick, and the D-pad. The D-pad isn't needed in Zelda 64. This limited key selection was used to build an elegant fighting system around a few button combinations. Although B always attacks and A always does "an action", the genius of this system falls in the types of attacks you can do. Depending on the way your character is moving, and whether or not an item is targeted, Link can perform an impressive list of sword attacks (vertical cut, horizontal slash, diagonal slash, spin attack, thrust, and jump attacks). Despite the fact that B, Z, and the joystick are the only buttons that control these moves, Link is easy to control and I never had problems getting Link to perform the combination of moves I desired. Link could cut any sign into 5 unique pieces consistently - that is excellent controller response!
1230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game takes months to get 100% completion. The new feature in this is getting time rellicks(by doing level fast)and swimming. In Crash 1 you get Balders after you sometimes, in Crash 3 you get a dinosaur, I prefered being chased by a balder and when it squashed Crash it went into the screen but you don't get it in this.
(With glourious Special Effects and great sound)
2529 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent product !!
The flaw with this game is that is clearly not meant for the PS2 (because of the constant data flow during battles and dungeons). If you still own a PS1, it will save you all the frustration of infrequent and unwelcome freezes (especially if you haven't saved in a while). Also, the music tracks on this Grandia are cut somewhat in comparison to the Saturn version, which has them all, so you might want to hunt down the OST (which is even rarer than the game these days). All and all, a great beginning game for a hopefully long running series in the future.
2099 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The only racing game that comes to mind that is better is probably Burnout 2. But anyway,
537 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Forgotten amidst the blood of Mortal Kombat and 3-D presentations of Virtua Fighter and Tekken, the Street Fighter II series initiated the fighting game craze. Whereas its successors won their fanbases with graphical geegaws, Street Fighter II's strength was superb, well-balanced, uncomplicated gameplay that was simple to learn but exhausting to master. Street Fighter Collection accurately reproduces that gameplay, making for an excellent anthology, but not a flawless one.
I also recommend the novels that also tell the story of these games. You will better appreciate the time and years of work that went into making WarCraft the wonder that it is today.
Now, let me say that I loathe hyperbole. Bubsy 3D is not the worst game ever made, and believe me, I have played most of them. Despite what the fifteen-year-old reviewers on Amazon would have you believe, Bubsy 3D actually won some acclaim when it was released, and retained what was, for the time, the 3D platforming status quo. The problem with the status quo back then was that there wasn't one, and any given game might have any old control scheme, many of which didn't make any sense. Bubsy 3D suffered from exactly that, among other things; namely, the overly simplistic environments and the sketchy depth perception.
Replay/value: If you liked the first Diablo, you'll probably like this one at least as good or better. And for the current price, it's worth it. It took me about 45 hours to finish everything with a Paladin character. Treasure, monsters, dungeon walls, shrines, and other things are randomly generated. Also, the game can be played over the internet, which should appeal to online gamers. I personally have no desire to go through it again, since none of the quests are random. However, the game is designed to encourage repeat play, especially since each character class is very different and the game has online capability.

2228 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is amazing to be able to go back in time and play the old games! The graphics are so funny to look at since technology has come sucha long way...but I love the old games
8582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an exceptional beat-'em-up. At times it can be very challenging but the opening stages are fair, albeit difficult.
Everyone has his/her favorite RTS and no one can claim that STARCRAFT introduced the futuristic RTS genre (that would be DUNE). Nevertheless, the great, crisp and clear graphics, the balanced units and the strategic terrain all contributed into turning STARCRAFT into a true classic. This is a game that passed the test of time, not only because its aging graphics are still acceptable but also because it is one of those games that stays with you. Forever.
3383 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I loved this game. I like the fact of killing smart and fast dinos alot more than killing stupid,retarded,slow and mindless zombies. It makes the game a little more challenging and this game has so many surprises going from raptors poping out from a corner to rip your face off all the way to a gient T-Rex busting through a window to bite you in half. I must say that this game is very gory but in a way still cannot compare to the goryness of RE games. I bet though that your wondering why I called this one of the best survival-horrors when I have only givin it 4 stars instead of a perfect 5. Well,the game seems to have to much puzzle solving and not enough killing dinos. Like there is about a dino in every hall and in a few rooms but after you kill them all your stuck with about 50 puzzles to open a new area and then you finally get the opportunity to kill a few more dinos and then the same proccess over and over. 50 puzzles,10 dinos,50 puzzles,10 dinos. But hey,look on the bright side. The graphics are very great,along with the sound and awesome FMV's and the game also has its great and fun moments like when the T-Rex comes out. In this game the T-Rex plays a simmilar role such as the Nemises does in RE3 because they are both constant enemys that keep showing up to ruin your day and they seem invincable. This annoys some because of the same boss showing up over and over but I think its great!!Plus if you have played RE3 and got annoyed by the Nemises showing up over and over,you may like this a little better because in here the T-Rex does not show up as near asmany times as the Nemises does. Aside from the T-Rex and the Raptors there are 3 other deadly dinos. One is the small and very very annoying Compys,who show up and theres about 20 of them you gota kill which wastes a great deal of your ammo. Anouther is the flying bird dinos(I don't know how to spell there names)and last but not the least,these very very strong and very big(bigger than a raptor anyways but way smaller than the T-Rex)wierd looking things that I do not have a clue to what there names are. Oh,now I would like to get to the ammo. Ammo is very very hard to find in this game,and there is not even that much to find...But I suggest to you to get and infit ammo cheat because you'll need it for this game. This games AI(artificial intellagence)is very good. The dinos are smart and if you are bleeding they can smell it all the way from a different hall and start stalking you. So over all this is a great horror-survival that has (somwhat little)but good action none the less. Buy it,you'll love it(exept if your not good at solving puzzles).
Unfortunity Tarzan suffers from some serious problems. I pretty much gaurantee that you will get very annoyed by the jungle creatures that will try to kill you on your quest for manhood and survival, especially the stupid birds that bombard you with coconuts, and yet, you can never kill them! What's up with that?!
Not enough characters and its just not very fun and.. yeah that makes it boring.. but if ur a fan of the older games ( like me ) you may like this game ( unlike me )
a hammer, the hookshot, teleportation, Zoras, and a few others. One of the strong points of this game is that it is easy to pick up for most beginning
The biggest problem with this game, though, is its camera. Rather than a traditional 3D perspective from this generation's racing games, BLAST CORPS uses a top-down view (like METAL GEAR SOLID). Thankfully, the camera is rotatable, but it doesn't really help much. The default controls are also more like RESIDENT EVIL than like a driving game, which is a 50/50 success.
I can't comment on Code Veronica, for I haven't played it yet, but I think I will do so when it gets out for the PS2, but for what I can see, the RE series is going down the drainage. I will consider Resident Evil 4 depending on many aspects. I might be playing this game (along with RE2) again when I get me a PS2, but surely, I won't touch it again in the near future.
Even the soundtrack is pretty forgettable! The game has a rather cartoonish look to it...could have looked more realistic but then again, the Dreamcast isn't exactly a graphics powerhouse. My suggestion...don't buy it. Granted, I've owned this game for quite some time and those who are new to DC may have heard great things about CV, but trust me, this is a BORING game! Get Shenmue instead as that game simply plays better and has a better story!
This game is surprisingly lengthy, hours of game play for the Doom fan that will bring them to a state of heaven.
The weak points of the game are mostly the puzzles. There are a bit too many of them, and not enough dino battles. Also, the devlopers throw puzzles at you when you least suspect it, and when you don't want them. While racing to a heliport for example, a big race against time with tense dramatic music, the game tosses a box pushing puzzle that you have to solve to advance. Another time, you have to solve 2 big puzzles in the span of 10 minnutes, where you have to power an elevator, then move cranes when they are only 3 minnutes apart. Also, the unlockable mini-game you earn if you beat the game in under 5 hours, is dissapointing (At least to me). The element of strategy is unwelcome, I just want to blast dinosaurs, and not worry about ammo, and Why isint the T-rex included?
8645 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a classic puzzler from the 16 bit era. Originally available on the Genesis back in the early 90's, it definitely tried to take advantage of the popularity of the sonic franchise. However it really has very little to do with sonic. It's a tetris style stack em' up where falling "slime balls" of various colors need to be linked by matching the colors in 4+ combinations. Pretty simple, but can be very challenging and addicting! It's extremely cheap here on Amazon, definitely worth 5-10 bucks. But the best option is to pick up the "Sonic Genesis Collection" for Ps3 or 360.
The battle system is awesome, combining some of the best aspects of action and strategy. The fights are real-time, but the action is paused while you use menus, much like the original Secret of Mana. Also, like Secret of Mana, you can assign your AI-controlled partners different things to do in battles, and they are very good when it comes to following your commands. If you tell your healer to heal and stay away from the enemies, she will do just that. You can choose various formations for battles. Another interesting feature is that special attacks will use different effects depending on your range from the enemy. For example, one attack called Air Slash will slice a circle around you if you are close to enemies, but will send a cutting shockwave across the field if they are at a distance.
The capabilities of the SNES allowed Super Metroid to far surpass its predecessors with cooler and smoother graphics, eerie music, and more areas to explore. Samus simply looks awesome in this game. The map is HUGE and you will spend hours finding hidden stuff and more enemies to blast. There is also a wall jump technique here that's introduced. I was also enthralled by the EXTREMELY LARGE bosses in this game. These are probably the biggest bosses in any game. The story is also very engrossing and has good use of flashbacks to previous Metroid games. WOW. I can't emphasize this game enough; WOW.
I highly recommend playing this game!
4835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game to play in spare time.
5852 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Where, oh where to begin? I dug Caesar III to the point where it caused me to lose sleep and affect my health. Being a huge fan of Egyptian history, I was salivating for months while Impressions developed Pharaoh.
The music is amazing, with guitar riffs, classical arrangements and so much more. If that doesn't grab you, you'll be astonished by the monsters, mayhem and pacing that is found in this game. I spent hours wandering around the castle and picking up new secrets. It's really one great game.
6579 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I hated WCW Mayhem for a lot of reasons. One, way too much production level was spent on making the characters look good and they still looked awful. The Create A Wrestler was a total pain. Why? Because if you picked certain items of clothing for a wrestler, it didn't match and he looked stupid. Honestly, if you picked Nash's pants, you either had to be skins on top or wear his tank top as well because nothing else matched or looked right. That and you didn't get to pick any of their moves. Again, another F- for effort.
This is a very addictive game if you can get past its dated look. A solid buy, I'd say.
948 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 game arrived good, works, all of that
Twisted metal is a car compitition almost like demolition derby except with crazy characters and weapons. Many games have tried to copy this gameplay but none could ever create one like this. The competition is held by Calypso and he gets people in search of help to join his competition and if they win through the 8 levels of demolition they get one wish from him. Calypso is all in this for entertainment while the characters are in it for something important.
4293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i missed my old game and it still works on 7 that made me so happy,.
1442 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Before I start, let me explain that I'm writing this review from the standpoint of an occasonal video gamer, namely, me. This review probably would not hold true for hardcore/professional video gamers. I have played all of the classic Mario Bros games, and loved them all, except for this one. For one reason, and one one reason only. For the casual gamer, controlling Mario in a precise manner is an exercise in futility. If you only play your games a couple of hours a week like me, if you are not a "pro," the human language cannot describe just how much this game will frustrate you. I mean it, the control is HORRIBLE. For those of you over the age of 21, try to imagine this: You're very very drunk, and trying to walk down an ice covered slope. That would be EASIER than controlling Mario in this game, in places where it matters the most, precise maneuvering in tight spots. You can't use the control pad at all, just the joystick. With all of the brilliant minds working for Nintendo, I would think that they could have developed a better way to control the character through the use of the control pad. Another thing. If you are prone to car-sickness or other types of motion induced illness, you can't play this game for more than 30 minutes at a time. Believe me, I'm not stretching the truth. I served 10 years in the USAF, and did alot of flying during those years, so I'm not exactly the "weak stomach" type. Would I recommend buying this game? By all means, yes, if you are a hardcore player. The graphics are pretty cool and have a definite charm. For all you pros out there, I would agree with a 4 or 5 star rating for this game. For the occasional gamer like me, I would recommend renting it before buying it. Your experience may or may not be as bad as mine..........
Multiplayer: There's no co-op campaign. BOO! :P You can play through various types of matches (most of which resemble the single-player levels) against friends or the AI. You can use the tanks of enemy games in the multi-player. That's all good and well, I guess, but I know I can blow my friends to kingdom come. What I really wanted was to be able to play it through the campaign on 2 players.
9804 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 is most definitely a classic. I remember back in 1998 when the game first came out I couldn't put down the controller. The puzzles and the weapons all were great and fun playing. I wish they would redo the game with the power of the ps3 that would make it even more fun to play. Overall, I give RS2 five of five stars.
i just love to spend hours playin it!!
1465 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 castlevania 64 is one of the greatest games in the world a true classic the best of the best buy this game if your a castlevania fan you won't be sorry
SCORE: 5-5
You get to use Yoshi's tongue as a weapon ,making for some completly different levels disigns. 48 levels may not sound liek alot ecspecially since SMW had over 80. These levels are alot longer and much more colorful. The music is fantastic and the graphics were a pastel/crayon look making it look as though a child had colored it in.

1934 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Resident Evil 2", truly is a classic scare. Resident Evil 2 showcases just why the series became big, and why Resident Evil is the leader of the Survival-Horror genre by a landslide.

I recommend Lunar 2 as well. It improves upon this game in almost every way.
5609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 truly, my favorite final fantasy game, if even by a hair, it still edges forward as my fav experience with the series. also, the scene where i heard "Eyes on me" literally made my heart skip a beat and my jaw drop; i had never heard a vocal song in any rpg ever before that, and it impacted me greatly as did the scene that accompanied it. This is my 3rd favorite game of all time, and an amazing memory :). highly recommended
5247 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I, like most who have played this game, am a huge fan of the Tomb Raider series. I especially enjoy the puzzle solving of the first game and the action/adventure element and increased pace of the second one. This series starts off promisingly enough. Outside of a mandatory (groan) training level, the game eases you into the tried-and-true Tomb Raider gameplay we all have grown to love. The environments are large and exciting, the puzzles clever. Exploration is fun and rewarding, and progress is logical. For the first 6 or 7 hours. The challenge level really picks up after the VERY neat train level, and in fact starts to become downright maddening. Do we really have to backtrack for 3 hours just to find 7 scattered items required to make it through to the next level? Things get flat-out obnoxious at the Chambers Of Tulun and the Trenches. This area goes something like this: rope swing to hit a switch that unlocks an invincible guy in a room. Go to the Citadel Gate level to obtain a nitrous oxide canister. Return to the Chambers and go to the Trenches. Obtain the nitrous oxide feeder. Return to the Chambers of Tulun to obtain the roof key. Go back to the Trenches to get to the Street Bazaar. Get the car jack and mine detonator so you can get back to the Trenches. And so on and so on and so on. Is this mad jumble of item dispersion that is being passed for level design really necessary? I really enjoy the high challenge level of the Tomb Raider series, but this is ridiculous. If I didn't have a strategy guide with me, I wouldn't have made it to the Citadel (which is where I am right now). This game is loads of fun for about 20 or 25 levels; afterwards, it becomes a chore to play. The graphics and presentation have not been improved drastically since the first Tomb Raider, and the legendary level design has regressed considerably. Many spots feel cheap, rather than challenging. Control, while still functional, still isn't perfect, and it causes every jump to be deliberate and nerve-wracking. If you miss and survive, then you have to make another series of jumps, which can take another 10 minutes just to get back to where you originally were. I could go on and on, but this game is just too much. Get this only if you're a die-hard TR fan; but be prepared to fork out some extra cash for a strategy guide.
Final Fantasy fans may be upset or joyful.. either because they feel the Final Fantasy series is straying too far away from its roots or they wanted something new. This Final Fantasy's them is love, and it executes rather well. People say Square took out the 'fun' because of the absence of enough mini-games and little extras (such as the golden saucer and chocobo breeding/racing) that provided a break for those who were tired of leveling up.
Playing this game was a rich experience to me. I found myself in a totally different world, a different era. You get to learn so much about the History of Ancient Rome.
6190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works and my sister loved it.
Pros: Good graphics, Great selection of Aircraft, Great factories and ship convoys, Good menu.

2983 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most influenced games of all time. The fan bases for this one game blows out all FF fan base out of the water. Never has any other FF game seen such an influenced with multiple related games/story characters found in different games. Multiple Movies. Toys, cards, etc based on this game. Why was that all necessary for this one game?
You'll feel cheated, lied to, manipulated, used, frustrated, raped and robbed.

4373 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is definitley the most addictive, simple and fun games you can buy, as well as the best value. The storyline is classic and the gameplay is simple yet engrossing. Get tired of the main game?
With all that said, however, the game's fun factor makes it a legitimate "must have" for wrestling fans and should be considered by N64 fans who are looking for a beat-em-up button-masher where the top prize is the WCW Championship. I recommend this to N64 gaming fans, wrestling fans, and people who watched wrestling "when it was cool."
6896 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Well, here it is guys: the WORST Mortal Kombat game of all-time. Yup, the honor goes to the Game Boy version of Mortal Kombat II.
Another difference is in the graphics. Planetscape still uses the Infinity Engine (ala' Baldur's Gate), but the graphics are much smoother than its predecessor. Characters are much larger, and some even perform actions when they are idle. For instance, Morte (the first person to join your group) juggles his eyeballs when he's bored.
3456 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis adds a nice touch to the Resident Evil formula. Not only do you have to deal with oncoming hordes of zombies, but now you have another worry...being chased by a Nemesis that will come after you no matter what you do to try and stop it. The addition of Nemesis made this game one of the most enjoyable, and my favorite of the Resident Evil\'s. The addition to now be able to walk up stairs without pressing a button really did help way back when, though wondering how that was ever not a feature in the games is a bit of a puzzlement. And on the subject of puzzles, the only flaw this game has is the \"water puzzle\" near the end of the game. Only because it is totally random. Meaning you can get lucky and solve it in 20 seconds, or it could take about 30 minutes to beat. But other than that, this is a great game that any Resident Evil fan should have in their collection. NnyCW for CapCity.
The many bonus levels intrigued you and challenged you to be your best. The animal companions gave you an extra incentive to play because the Swordfish, the Rhino and the Frog made it that much better and that much fun.
Another common complaint about Doom from people now is that "all you do is shoot monsters and collect keys". True, newer FPSs offer different things to do, but people take Doom's simplicity merely at face value and they seem to miss the point. One thing that Doom has on most other FPS games is in its ingenious level designs. The creators really took the time to make its monsters, levels, and the overall experience memorable in a way that makes you want to come back for more. The differences between Doom and Doom II may only seem like cosmetic upgrades, but as the games go along, the mazes become more and more intricate and cleverly designed. Having story missions and goals to complete is fun, but not at the expense of completely non-linear gameplay. Doom never skimps out on this aspect.
top notch. The game is 3 disk and
6299 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wasn't really excited about the game at first. But I found that the escape from the mortuary was just a tutorial: the real stuff was ahead. I got really emersed in the story and found myself talking to characters for hours on end, not because I wanted to earn some XP, but really because I was interested, I wanted to learn more of this strange world, I wanted to know about Sigil, the Planes, my lost memories, my destiny.
4386 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is one of the best combat / strategy games ever ;0). The basic game play is pretty easy to pick up and if you play the single player missions in order you'll quickly learn the strengths and weaknesses of each troop type. Then the fun really begins when you battle against real opponents across the Internet. After you have played the single player missions you'll have your favorite race (Terran, Protos or Zerg). You'll come up with your own tactics on how to deal with your opponents There is a huge on-line community out there defending the `Honor' of each respective race. Buy the game and come play. This game came out back in 1998 and it is still being played now. Few games can say they have that lasting appeal. Starcraft is great on it's own but Starcraft really needs to be played with the expansion Starcraft:Brood war; it adds more depth to both the game and tactics with new missions and new units. If you don't own Starcraft instead of buying starcraft by itself buy the Starcraft: battle chest and get Starcraft, Starcaft: Broodwar and strategy guides for both games. The battle chest is well worth the extra.
6640 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I cannot even estimate how many hours of my life this game has consumed. I fully blame my less than stellar grades in chemistry and physics on this game. It sucks you in and won't let go. I'm happy to say I've been Civ-free for about 4 months now, but I must admit just writing this review is firing up my cravings. Oh man, maybe I'll play as the Japanese on Deity difficulty. I don't believe I've ever beat it on that level. So hard, the computer civilizations just spread like viruses! Ok, I gotta go before this gets out of hand. Suffice to say, this game is absolutely incredible, and it never grows old. I also highly reccommed playing the expansion to this, which involves the Midgard scenario. Good luck!
6755 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This GB is the very first one made. Even though it is not in color it was amusing at one time. At the time when it came out, it had the same games on it as the nes but in black and white unstead. Everyone thought it was handy because they thought it was the first nintindo on the go but they soon realized that it was not in color. The sound is great for such a old thing and the graphics since its in black and white r ok but a little blocky. The only reason i gave it such a high rating is becaus i loved all of the zelda,mario,metroid,and other games on it.
7640 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great

The story is unlike any other. It follows the locations of the movie, and if you have seen it, you'll recognize many of the scenes. Cut scenes in games usually are a let down; here, they excell. The gameplay never dips, unless you get stuck and are pulling your hair out trying to figure out what to do next. But that is how murder mysteries are supposed to be. This isn't a game that you will finish in 3 hours. Heck, when I play it over, it still takes me awhile.
7284 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Donkey Kong 64 is a great game. It's also a really long pull your hair out frustrating adventure. It's big. It's long. It's got a pretty poor framerate. But what have we come to expect from Rare now? The best video game maker in the states, Rare has given us such classics as Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and the Banjo-Kazooie series. Late 1999 also brought us the return of DK. And lots of other ape friends. The game itself is fantastic to look at. Rare takes ordinary level settings (factory, jungle, water) and makes them into worlds. Really, really big worlds. All the characters are animated down to a T, using the best graphics possible. The controls are pretty standard, most everything uses a Z+C arrangement (although i would like the trigger to be Z instead of B, which after playing Perfect Dark for hours confuses the heck out of me). Past that the game itself is, uh, big. There are countless items to collect and places to visit. Many of the mini-games are confusing and repetative. It takes a long time to get from place to place in the worlds. Some of the bosses are worthy of a screaming fit. It's hard. And it gets harder. Veteran gamers can finish it in 30 hours. That's a full day of Donkey Kong. I've already rounded that base and am going towards a second day. Things don't move quickly, but when you defeat a boss or solve a challenge, you really do feel good. The game probably earns a star for the winning and just so gosh darn cute characters, who are more fun to look at than that boring Link. If you're up to the challenge, go for it. It is rewarding and fun to play, but I reccomend taking a break from it when times get tough. They will get better. NOTE: Donkey Kong is a good game, but it can't match the standards of Banjo-Tooie, a fantastic Rare piece that takes the best elements of Banjo-Kazooie and DK64 and meshes them into an exuberant gaming experience. It's worth it at the price.
The storyline is fantastic and incredibly involving. It has enough plot twists to keep your head spinning, but it's never confusing. I hope everyone that played the game watched what was after the credits. One of the biggest plot twists happens at the very end.
Great game and I got addicted to it lol
7716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My son loves this and so do I!
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
6847 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for my game boy TMNT collection. I now have all three games. I bought this because of the nostalgia that goes with it because when I was a kid, it was always a mystery to me how a Ninja Turtle game can be played on a game boy. Yet I was stuck with the crappy LCD Tiger Electronics hand held version because it was cheaper for my father to buy. He was always a cheap skate. But now that I'm older, I own this and I'm glad I do. It goes well with my Original Game Boy.
He gives you this way of contacting and coming back to the ship, you will also be able to heal yourself with other decals that he comes across and gives to you.
1467 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I used to own this game, and while it is not the game I miss most, I still do think about it from time to time. The visuals are very good for the N64's graphics engine, and the voice acting, though there isn't a whole lot, is pretty good. The control is a bit of a problem, as is the camera. However, this is not a big surprise, for it is the first time the series of Castlevania has been moved to the third dimension. Then again, other series didn't really have that much trouble in the third dimension (Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, etc.), but you can't always win, can you? The music is awesome (naturally-it's Castlevania!) The sound effects are also good. The boss design is highly unique as well, and most importantly, IT'S FUN! I bought it for a mere $20, and it was actually worth it. Though I have sold it, I might try and purchase a friend's copy. If you are looking for a game that is a bit more simplistic in design than the classic Castlevania titles, then this is your ticket for sure.
7599 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is one of the best Nintendo 64 games ever sold. It truly is worth your money.
1892 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Spyro the Dragon: the game that SHOULD have been Sony's mascot instead of Crash Bandicoot.
Big--okay
I also realized how visually stunning the game is. I have an Expansion Pak, so I really don't have a clue what the game would be like without it, but the graphics are just so crisp, at least certain features. The buildings and structures and ships and stuff look great, almost to the level of Half-Life. But the graphics for the people/Storm troopers leave more to be desired. They are obviously sprites. The music does have a Star Wars feel to it, and that's growing on me. I sometimes get certain tunes stuck in my head, and I don't mind. Most of the music is in the menus, though. 40 minutes of speech is nice, if only I could understand half of it. Rogue Squadron has no multiplayer, which is too bad. It would have been fun. Oh well. Overall, I actually kind of enjoyed this game.
1610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good
Personally, I was disappointed by the graphics. The new emphasis on 3D environments in adventure games is saddening. While it does make point-of-view movement more interesting, the characters look like unreal homonculi and the architecture sometimes feels like you're playing Doom I. You never forget you are playing a computer game. It worked better with Grimm Fandango, where the characters are supposed to look inhuman and the environments are less navigable and therefore more fully designed. There is still something to be said for fully rendered graphics which allow artists to create more fully-realized environments. Perhaps 3D games will eventually be as interesting to look at as they are to move around in, but not yet.
9378 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 doesn't work with the game system that i bought
The "multiplayer" game is really really bad. It's so bad that it is not worth playing. But that's what Goldeneye is for, right?
Then there are these big rock guys called Gordos that like to roll down mountains! They are my favorites because they live in this mountain called Doom Mountain. It explodes like a volcano and tries to kill you! Holy ****!
551 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a pretty good game, but not a great game. I'd probably rate this closer to 3 1/2 stars. You are agent Craig Wilmore. Scully & Mulder have disappered and it's your job to find them. You have several locations to go to and many people to talk to in your search. A couple of the features I really like was you actually have a shoot out that you control in one location and in another location, you have to do a real time search to catch the "bad" guys towards the end. Most of the cast members from the show are here (Skinner, The Cigarette Smoking Man, & The Lone Gunmen), but they weren't used nearly enough. There were some cool explosions and the story was pretty good, but they could have made this a little harder in some aspects and a little easier (like being able to get a password for your own computer. Why was this so hard?). Overall, a good game, but just a few more additions and changes and this could have been a great game.
4517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game can be either really easy or really hard, depending on the settings the player chooses. There are two settings that really matter in terms of difficulty: difficulty level and control type. Difficulty level determines how hard it is to take out enemy planes, how easily you get shot down, and how hard it is to evade enemy missiles. Control type is found in the options menu (when you select a mission) and has an even bigger effect. With the novice (defalt) controls, your plane automatically turns back to level after turns and you can't control yaw (rotational turn left and right) or invert. On expert mode, you can do anything: barrel roll, reverse illemans, REAL break turns, etc. The latter makes the already difficult levels nearly impossible (except for dogfights, which are much easier with expert controls). Secondly, the levels are incredibly detailed; at one point, you fly into an enemy base that is in caverns in a mountain. It feels like mission impossible. Finally, I don't know what people are talking about when they say that the plane you choose doesn't matter. It does. Just trust me. I would recommend this game to almost anyone. It does a good job of making levels hard for better replay value and allows you to some crazy moves with experts controls. Its best trait is that you can play it on two different levels: a plane-based shoot-em-up or a combat intensive flight-sim.
Overall, I rank the game a 9/10 for its creativity and several different ways it keeps players focused and entertained. The makers of Mario did a fantastic job integrating so many different aspects of gaming, which in turn made it so great. I hope that whoever is reading this can come to their senses and BUY THIS GAME!
it is. I happen to be one of those people who did not experience the game
each level is unique and its organized in a wonderful fashion, you never get too confused in nagivating the game
The only con to this game is the lack of costumes for characters (Most have two a select few have an unlockable 3rd). Also mission mode is a little on the short side a little easier then SC2. Other then those two things this is a great game. A must have for DC.
2458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very fun to play as your favorite characters. I still like from this game how tight the gameplay is and how each character "feels" unique. I think in previous incarnations they have gotten a bit of this back, but this game I truely felt different playing Kirby than I did DK.
If Lara were to make the jump to the Dolphin- i wouldn't be surprised; Tomb Raider always had the potential to be a great game; it's just that sometimes- you need a lot of patience and perhaps, this will fit nicely.
2305 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I was hoping this was a racing game, but it's an adventure game, so I am not very happy with it at this time.
2. Bitterness: The bitterness between Sega and it's former fans. These fans were scared off because of Sega's history of not supporting a system for very long. Sega's previous system, the Sega Saturn, failed due to Sega's incompetence of supporting the Saturn with a large selection of games. Mostly because of bad marketing and hardly any third party support.
7690 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought from a cheap old games . It was two days late because of the postal service. But works great as does the save battery. Just as much fun as 20 years ago
The most innovative feature in this game is that there are different scenarios in this game. Say you play as Leon and complete the game as him; well you can then play as Claire in that same scenario to find out the true ending. And you cant play Claires second scenario by popping in the second disc for the first time to play as her, you have to unlock it first. So in total, there are four possible scenarios in this game.
The controls are the typical easy controls you would get in something like Resident Evil. It's a great example that you don't have to put everything in the game to make it cool just the basics. The multiple endings are also a great bonus that added replayability to an already great game.
1950 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I played this before I played the original Resident Evil. I had just barely gotten the Playstation and was renting a bunch of stuff. Originally I hated this game because I couldn't figure out how to play it. I had been a Nintendan with occasional defects to Sega (I own a Genisis) so I was unfamiliar with what has become a nearly standard control style for Playstation games. I didn't understand the pivoting, nor did I grasp the concept of holding R-1 to aim and X to shoot. I got frusterated and set it aside. However, my brother picked it up immediately after and managed to get me past the first screen. (Yes I got killed right away.) I watched my brother navigate his way through the game until he finally got killed by the first Licker. He begged me to buy it. So I did. After a while I decided to give it another try, and once I got used to the control style I beat it. I have played this this Resident Evil, and it many different incarnations across differnt platforms more than any other version. I have also bought this one the most times trying to get the "ultimate edition" and eventually got tired of it and bought the Dual Shock Greatest Hits version after the N64 version's FMV sequences were so terrible. Although I will not buy the forthcomming GameCube port unless they imporove it as drastically as they did the original, I still recomend RE 2 as the most fun of the series. If for some reason there is someone out there who does not already have some version of this game do yourself a favor and pick one up. GameCube owners, I recomend waiting for the GCN version as it is supposed to have all of the various enhancements that all of the various versions of this game had, including the much desired analog control the N64 version featured.
You must determine how best to keep your farm running. Should you plant eggplant or potatoes? Spend your time fishing or milking cows? The better you do, the more you earn, and the more seeds you can buy or chickens you can raise.

Dragon
There are 6 different levels in this game, Space Zone, Pumpkin Zone, Mario Zone, Turtle Zone, Tree Zone, & Marco Zone which signifies the 6 golden coins concept. I'd say the hardest is the Space Zone (that took me a long time to beat at first), before you get to Wario's Castle. Some of the bosses are easy to beat also. There are also hidden stages in this game to find, and when you beat them the zone setting will change (like in the Tree Zone, you will see flowers and such).
4442 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The one thing you need to know about this game right away is that it will pulverize you with some frequency. If you are not a patient gamer this game is probably not for you because chances are you will need multiple play-throughs before you are able to beat it for the first time.
2414 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the game that started an addiction. It was a silly premise at first, but I was under the impression the hype would be downplayed. The system they came up with was magnificent though, and it became our favorite party game. The first time I played it I was on Very Easy mode with 5 lives, but a lot of new people were struggling with it anyway whereas I was having a little less of a hard time, and it was super fun. My original copy was stolen from me, and so I had to get a new one, and so I played through it and got all the hidden characters again. I may do the same thing on my Everdrive as well.
I also enjoy the chapter structure of the game that brings you to different towns and wilderness areas. It reduces the repetitivness of the first game.
Most of Sonic adventure you play boring sub characters, and when you do get to play as sonic, it's too short and plagued with too bug to be any fun. This is by far the most overpraised Dreamcast game out there.
As for plot and characters... The characters are all good, with unique personalitys. The hero really acts like a hero, and everyone else acts like they should. There is plenty of dialogue, and mystery behind everyone. Sometimes, like 3 times, ive gotten bored of reading and skipped all the text, but otherwise it isn't too bad. The plot is basically randomated at first. I didn't have a clue. You like need to go to some town or something. But there is this whole backstory about the these wars, involving swordians and monsters and stuff. Its complicated, and I haven't played the game for a while. But once you beat it, the entire purpose and outcome of the Aether wars become clear. So anyways you gotta save the world, or some nonsence, the storys good though. I mean you do stuff for a reason, then theres a plot twist. Seriously, its like a spontaneous story, so it isn't too boring. As for characters.... I read one review saying there was only 6 characters, but that person hasn't even beaten the game. There are 9, if I remember correctly. A couple leave, then come back, then may seem lost, but you find them later. 2 of them you gotta get on your own, and won't be hard to find. One of them was said to be left out of the American version by some, but you can get her. But yes, there are 9 different characters that you can obtain. If you think I am lying, beat the game. Actually, read the manual or a strategy, you will see.
(maybe a little too much incentive actually, seeing how one of them is the only place to get Omnislash.) My favorite being the chocobo farming and racing.
777 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very good
Meeting with your neighbors has never been more challenging - the AI for this game is fairly intuitive and you will find yourself wondering how the computer knows to make each faction react the way it does. Do you want to trade with your neighbors or just conquer them? The richness and vast number of choices to make may seem overwhelming to someone totally new to colonization games, but the depth of what is available will keep you coming back for more.
1292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game DEFINED the modern 3-d graphics realm.
In conclusion, together with Planescape: Torment, Torment: the novel, is also recommended! It is BASED on the computer game, therefore it only touches on a limited amount of material presented in the game, but it too is lots of fun!
You probably won't need any kind of strategy guide. I didn't need one, except to look up information for a couple heart pieces I was having trouble finding (even though it's not necessary to find all the heart pieces). I also needed help reaching the third castle in the Dark World (which IS necessary to completing the game). But that's it. And I didn't have the internet in the mid-90's, so I had to ask friends for help.
1075 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 (Note:This is the Gamecube Collectors Edition version)I remember ten years ago,seeing the commercial for this game. I always did wonder what it was like. After getting the collectors edition I immediately got started on it. The story focuses,as always,on Link. Link is a young boy living in the Kokiri Forest. One night he has a nightmare,and wakes to discover a fairy named Navi,who will help him through his journey. He is overjoyed but then discovers that the gaurdian of Kokiri Forest,the Great Deku Tree,is dying from a curse. The tree passes along a Spiritual Stone and recommends to see Princess Zelda. Link does so and Zelda tells him to get the other two spiritual stones so Link can get the Master Sword to stop Ganon,King of the Gerudos,from entering the Sacred Realm and stealing the Trifoce,a divine relic. Link achieves the other stones and the Ocarina of Time. Link draws the Sword and finds out he has been tricked by Ganon,who entered the Sacred Realm. Link awakens seven years later,and after discovering he is now an adult,meets Rauru the Sage of Light. According to Rauru,the only way to defeat Ganon is to awaken the Five Sages. That is where the true quest begins. Wow,what a story! Now,the graphics are not bad by today's standards. Neither are the dungeons. They are amazing. And also very complicated.(Please don't mention the Water Temple).Overall this game can be summed up by one word:Perfect. Buy the game,become the hero,and have the time of your life.

You play as a secret agent named Regina. Your mission is to infiltrate Ibis island to find a mysterious scientest named Dr. Kirk. Upon landing on the island, it quickly becomes obvious that there is something very wrong with the island. Then it becomes a quest to survive the evil reptillian menace.
THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THIS COLLECTION - The Ultima Worlds games were not included! That stinks!
- Jill can take up to 6 bites from a zombie and still be in "Fine" condition.
Silent Hill also offers plenty of other things. A good (but confusing) story, plenty of enemies to shoot with your three guns (or smash with your hammers and swords) and fantastic attention to detail in every area of the game. Truly deserving of 5 stars.
4777 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This grows on, in, and around your consciousness. Castlevania: SOTN is bliss, a heavenly escape from life. Transcending mere fun, this game becomes a way of 10-hour life; maybe not so long, but one joyous ride. Corny voice acting gives a lighthearted twist to the intended serious story, but that's hardly enough to detract from the uncut fun. If you enjoy hybrids, I've counted these genres: platform, action, adventure, and RPG, one heady mix, and need nonstop action from your games, Castlevania should have long ago been yours.
The closest akin to the exploration factor is "Super Mario Sunshine" (a game I have tried and simply cannot get into). However, whereas you are limited to whatever star you choose in "Super Mario Sunshine" (and this fact alone makes for some tedious gameplay in that title), in "Super Mario 64" has all six stars available (with only one or two exceptions) from the get go, giving you much more freedom to do whatever you want. Streamlining is important, and when Nintendo removed the abilitiy to get any star you want at the onset of the level, they ended up with the somewhat confusing and tedious levels of "SMS". It's a very fine line between streamlined and open ended, but SM64 has that balance spot on.
The graphics were pretty crisp and clear and it had a nice little selection of playable characters including Spiderman, Iron Man, The Hulk, Psylocke, Wolverine and others. For those who played Marvel vs. Capcom 2 before this one, the movement may feel a little slow to you. However, this was the first of the Marvel vs. Capcom style games so don't expect it to be as good as MVC2.
5997 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game carries on the tradition of Master of Magic and Master of Orion II perfectly. If you like turn based strategy then you will love this game. Even after all this time it still holds up and still has a place on my hard drive.
Final Fantasy Tactics concerns itself with Ramza Beoulve. A noble who believes in justice and honor. In the world of Ivalice, Ramza is about to be involved in the biggest power struggle in the world's history. It concerns a conspiracy bigger than anything Ramza could imagine. The story is full of almost everything you can imagine. Betrayal, injustice and some of the most mature themes Final Fantasy has ever dared to go to. Be forewarned, though. Despite a T-Rating, the game is actually quite dark. Despite it's cutesy graphics this game is anything but cute as it is easily the most violent and moving of all the Final Fantasy games.
Buy it.

627 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game definitly fits the thought I had of a snowboarding game when I set out to buy one. The graphics are moderately realstic, the control is ok, and the sound is mediocre. I think they could of done a lot better job designing a game like this, but this edition suffices.
5221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although this game doesn't have the BEST graphics, the story, sound, and gameplay more than makes up for that minute detail. Solid Snake is definitely one of the most, if not the most, coolest video game characters of all time. When I first started this game, I was really nervous, thinking all of this sneaking around in the middle of a heavily armed base would be impossible for me to do without getting caught every 2 minutes. But, I turned out to be better at stealth than I thought (I guess I have my game "Tenchu: Stealth Assassins" to thank for that). This game was not only full of action, but the story was the best one I've ever come across in a video game: it was unsurpassable until the sequel came out! The enemies were really cool too, especially the Cyborg Ninja, Vulcan Raven, and the totally badass Liquid Snake.
At the beginning of a level, you get a goal that you have to meet to beet the scenario. From there, you go building and creating rides, shops, eating stalls, and more. You can build all sorts of things: from water slides to roller coasters, from haunted houses to swinging ships. You can even build food places, drink stalls, a balloon shop, and information booth, and more. You can even build you own unique roller coaster, or download one off the internet (if you're not happy with the prebuilt ones in the game). This game is challenging, since you have to manage your park, while keeping a large amount of money.

if you need mission codes just comment and ask.
Starcraft's other strength is in it's storyline. I have never seen such powerfully realized characters like this in a computer game. In truth, there are no real good guys or bad guys in this game. Everybody has their own motivations for their actions. The sequential compaign design only strengthens this aspect. It's unfortunate that Tiberian Sun's Michael Biehn and James Earl Jones didn't have a script like this to play with.
Sonic Adventure attempts to use level design that gives you the speed of the original games, while also featuring puzzle solving and rpg/adventure elements (talk to people, play mini-games, open doors, ect.). By featuring several different characters for you to play as, the game allows you to play a balanced game (sonic), blast through stages with nothing slowing you down (tails), run away like a chicken (amy), shoot everythign in sight (the robot), go on a treasure hunt (knuckles), or spend all your time fishing(?) (big the cat). Each of these elements is entertaining in its own right, but where the game really shines is the action scenes as sonic and tails. The adventure portion of this game suffers from the same flaw as many rpgs (namely, you can't find the stupid key to open the door). So the first time through you may hit a few snags. And the some of the more adventure/platformer elements can get VERY frustrating (I hate the platforming section of the snow level and the skydeck level in particular). And of course, the collision detection, polygon clipping, and camera problems are pretty darn buggy.
The cons associated with game are just too game-breaking to me and i have essentially stopped playing the game. Until these issues gets addressed i am not spending anymore money on this games series.
4744 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 When I received this game I opened it up and right away started installing it, but wait in all the excitement i didn't notice it being in the cardboard CD holder and because it was the installation wouldnt work why? Cause the CD was scratched beyond repair. Good job Interplay. I will right another reveiw when I receive my new package telling you if the game is as bad as Interplay's packing job.
At times, you will be giddy at its arcade-y destruction, its simple premise, its cheesy music, and its inventive puzzles. And at other times, you will be frustrated with the controls, be surprised at how short the game is, and wonder how the N64 graphics were supposedly the best you'd ever seen.
I hope with Civilizatin IV they reutrn to what made the game so much fun and complete. This game truly had everything that any strategy game could ever want. Everyone could play it as it catered to every level of ablility and the extra bells and whistles really put it over the top even to todays games that seem to be more graphicly based then fun based. Civilization III cut out a lot of the things that were in this game and while it's still fun I still find myself playing this one more often as it is still just as good every time. Sometimes you just can't beat the classics and if there a classic that still stands the test of time. This is it.
Sound- 7/10
I will update this soon with a full list of games.
The unlikely group of hero's must face an evil that is much more that it seems. The gameplay is smooth, dragging you along with it until the credits begin. And after you beat the game, the ending will not disapoint you. The final cinema is about 20 minutes long, and is one of the best endings to a game that I personally have ever seen. If you are a fan of RPGs, and most of all Final Fantasy, this game is a must.
It's really not so much compatibility problems it's really more that valve's default settings for the are usually not the correct settings. (The voodoo video family suffers the worst from this.) By default the video gamma is far too bright for the voodoo 2 card. The decals have the incorrect value. Lighting don't appear correctly. And SLI seems to have an odd effect on the game. Most cards have their unique set of problems, and all of these adjustments have to be done at the command level. Not something to be done by the average gamer.

The game does keep your attention and you will have fun completing the levels. A good game if your a patient person, if not youll wonder why its taking you so long to beat this"kids" game and make you feel stupid.
1704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is Great version of resident evil one. you can choose regular mode, which is just like first version, or you can pick arrange mode that makes the game more challaging. It also comes with vibrate function.
Very polished and FUN!!
This game gets soo much praise & even has been hailed as 'Quite Possibly The Greatest Game Ever Made', however that's not possible, only to those who think this is the greatest game ever made. But i urge people to try this game out, despite the outdated graphics & no voice overs.
First off, if Sonic Adventure is too fast or hard for you, just go sell your Dreamcast; you can't handle it. The game wasn't made to be fast or hard. It was made as an introduction to the Dreamcast's awesome power, and to carry the Sonic legend on. In my opinion, Sonic is easy. There is no point in buying a guide. It is just the right speed and I wish it was faster. But this is just my opinion.
I was unfortunate enough to stumble upon this game at my local video store. I thought "superman, I'll have to try that". I have never seen a game more deserving of the following: THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER! IT DESERVES TO BE BURNED!!! IT IS A DISGRACE TO INTELLIGENT BEINGS EVERYWHERE! MAKIND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITS POOR ABILITY TO CREATE GAMES! IT IS UTTERLY POINTLESS! IT MAKES SOUTH PARK LOOK LIKE SHAKESPEARE! IT MAKES ALIEN HOMINID SEEM EASY AND SOPHISTICATED!
All in all this Sim is well worth your hard earned $$$$.
9991 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The supposed included poster was missing bummer to a fan.
GTA 2
3984 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Well there's a lot of ways this game could have been fun, IF only they had tried to put more into it, ok it says on the front box that you can chose from 4 different types of parks, In reality all the parks are the same, just different animation, they all have a feris wheel, flying bird thing, ect... The little talking advisor cannonball in the corner is insanely inoying, and yet they make it so that you HAVE to have him to play the game, other wise you'll not be able to get to problems in time. I mean are programers IDIOTS? Do they think that a little cannonball making bad jokes and talking in the most annoying voice you have ever heard is what we really want to have as an advisor? And why do they animate the kids and everything in the cut sceens so unrealistic and stupid looking? In almost every game programers feel that they need to make humans look as stupid as possible, why? Its not funny, it demotes the animators intelegence. Anyways the only thing thats really good about it is that you can ride your own roller coasters, and you can turn the little cannonball guy off! Although it will be harder to manage without him.
6690 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Personally, I really like this game. Released around the Game Boy's very first launch, Super Mario Land assisted the Game Boy sales, and Super Mario Land also kept selling for at least 7 years thanks to the sales and loyal fans that are just as great as this game. I won't bash the graphics, because "What did you expect? 1080p or 3D in Game Boy games back then?" Now, the Nintendo 3DS keeps Super Mario Land alive via the Virtual Console for 3DS. The music is great and the gameplay is cool. If you have up to 30-45 minutes of free time, play this game to keep you entertained! Fun fact: Did you know that this game was originally intended to be bundled with the Game Boy? Yes, according to someone from a You Tube video[...] , a gentleman named Hank Rogers from Bullet-proof Software said: "If you wanted to sell the Game Boy to kids, pack in (Super) Mario Land. If you want to sell it to everyone, pack in Tetris."
4837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of my favorite games
7719 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Move over wind waker & ocarina (ok not that good) but I regret selling this for 8$ a year ago, I recently downloaded it on my WiiU and connected a SNES style controller to it and im still playing it after 3 months.
The single player game itself was a lot of fun. But even more came afterwords. All the mods that people have made. My favorite was the "they hunger" trillogy. Night of the Living Dead meets Half life? Pure genious! TFC and all the other online games are awesome (i haven't personal;ly played them much, not much of an online gamer). But I know that they would be lots of fun. Opposing force was awesome (although the horrendously horrible Blue Shi(f)t is a waste of cash). You owe it to yourself to buy and play this revolutionary FPS game. I am happily awaiting its sequal!
5327 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Folks, this is *THE* GTA my generation grew up with not the cheesy 3D versions that exist today. While I do not dismiss the greatness that comes with 3D, the 2D bird's eye view was a great experience at the time and even today. The game was pure fun with little decadence compared to the modern installments.
On the fun scale a 4 only seems reasonable for it's easiness as well. It was a great game, and I would definitely play through it again. It was worth the ten dollars I payed in full.
5394 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Doom is an excellent game. I own both Ultimate Doom & Final Doom for the playstation and enjoy playing both of them. This game is a lot more exhausting than Ultimate Doom, too. Most of the levels are huge, extremely mazy, and difficult, so you'd better be a good thinker! That's right, each level is a dark, scary labyrinth of evil soldiers & monsters, so you'll need to use your brain if you plan to make it out alive. The whole key to Doom is survival, and it's not going to be easy this time. The graphics are a bit sluggish, which is why I give the game 4 stars instead of 5. But everything else (sound fx, music, controls, gameplay factor) is fine. The soundtrack in this game is very disturbing, to say the least. It helps create an incredibly eerie atmosphere that few games have ever done. The sound fx are realistic and the gameplay factor is superb.
5104 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After playing Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for years I was excited about Heroes 3. But, after I got the game I thought it was just Heroes 2 all over again. All that was really done to the game was add several creature, take away a few creatures, mix the towns up a little, and slap better graphics on it. Though I must admit that it was just as fun (and pehaps even more fun) than Heroes 2. One of the greatest things about this game is the plot and story (much better than Heroes 2.) If you're thinking of buying this game, and don't have Heroes 2, then know that it can be very addicting. If you do have Heroes 2 then only buy this game if you want better graphics and a few new creatures then go ahead and get it.
1827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good game
3463 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Doesn't come with cap, but still fully charged.
The battle mechanics were odd, but I always enjoyed games that were challenging so you had to think out what you were going to do, sometimes you would lose a battle due to making a bad move, and you can learn from it and do better.
If you like Quake, Half Life and Star Trek: Voyager you have no reason not to order this NOW! :)
The game of course is based on the 1994 Disney film, and the levels follow the events of the movie. You have to quickly master the controls of this game, and you have to learn to jump and grab onto rocks and ledges. Once you learn the basics, it isn't too hard, but some of the levels are really complicated, and the things you have to do are sometimes not obvious at all. But a lot of people love that kind of challenge, and so did I.
Lates...
It's a great trip down memory lane for X-Files fans such as myself, and if you're lucky enough to have a PlayStation 1 lying around, it's the best machine to get the clearest picture.
1669 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super fun game!
Atrocious. Simply atrocious. You start the game as an ex-SOLDIER named Cloud (default name, seeing as you have the option to name your main character), who is currently an employed gun for a resistance group called AVALANCHE. Why these groups and names have big, capital letters for seemingly no reason is beyond me, seeing as they don't stand for anything. Along the way, you'll meet and greet a number of people who have nothing to do with what you'll be doing in the current area you're in, get pissed off with the inability to comprehend even the slightest bit of dialogue spitting from the mouths of these characters, and finally come to the climax of the game, facing yet ANOTHER completely overrated villain in a battle that will last about thirty minutes...but not because it's hard. It's not. I have so many problems with this game's story...okay, I have a lot of problems with this game PERIOD. You get a total of 9 characters in your party, and guess what? Seven of them have absolutely NOTHING to do with the main storyline whatsoever! The only reason they exist is for party-filling, seeing as they completely blew away any resemblance of a cast and crew of characters that actually mean something to...well, ANYTHING. Two of them you don't even technically have to get in your party to begin with! You can literally beat the entire game--all 13-17 hours of it--with the drooling retards you pick up along the way. The game is so stale and boring in terms of taking your hand and walking you through the story, and everywhere you turn, you can see something you can bitch about for hours. Party members included.
One reason mainly. In the original and in The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, (I can't speak for Zelda II because I haven't beat it yet) the ending was spectacular. Not the game ending, for The Legend of Zelda was produced in the Stone Age and there was much ending wise, but the last dungeon. Ah, the last dungeon. Only recently (like December 23, 1999) have I beat the first quest of The Legend of Zelda. That last dungeon on Death Mountain was a killer, a true challenge that you had to match your mettle with to get past it, save Princess Zelda and beat that nasty ol' Gannon. It was truly a great dungeon. Now skip on past those five years between the release of the original and the SNES version. What have we here? A dungeon comparable to that in the original Legend of Zelda! Everything is bigger and better in the SNES version, including the last dungeon. Whew, and I thought the original was harder, but no way!
Final Fantasy VII came from out of nowhere hitting the world like an asteroid sending shockwaves all over the video game nation. It single handedly put rpg's on the map for the non-hardcore gamers and sent hardcore gamers into an rpg frenzy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but you can't deny that Final Fantasy VII deserved the hype that it created. It took all the best aspects of rpg's such as the story, love story, character build-up, an easy to use and tactical fighting system and combined 3-D models for its random battles, an interactive background and music that has been remembered for over a decade. Also having follow up games years later coming out because of the huge fan base. You can say that another rpg would have done it sooner or later but the truth is Square put one heck of a game together and they did it first.
shall embrace us.

Bugs aside, this game is a great value. Trekkers will not be disappointed.
Aside from the beautiful animations, I found the game hard to get into. There is a lot of information that is thrown at you. When you're really just trying to understand what exactly is going on. It seems as though a lot comes at you very fast. It's hard to grasp your role and how to play the game all at once. The junctioning system is by far the most difficult interface to learn. It's odd to use, and makes the game awkward at times. You have to draw or gain magic from defeating monsters. It's time consuming, but you don't really need to level up that badly until disk 3, so I didn't use the system really until I needed to. The fighting in the game uses what they call Guardian Forces or GF's. They are a neat idea, but for a large portion of the game you don't need to fight you can just use your GF. This makes the game feel all too easy, since the GF's usually destroy all enemies at once. The only true poor aspect of the GF is the scene time. They take almost Minutes! To execute their moves and it gets old battle after battle (not to mention makes fight time seem longer than it needs to be).
5907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everyone knows that when this game fist came out it was a classic. The only First Person Sneak 'em up out there. Its immensly original, rewarding with nice touches and cut scenes, great storyline and is hugely addictive. The levels are big and the characters lifelike. Altough this game has now been surpassed by Thief The Metal Age I would still buy this game again. Especially as it has now gone Budget! It even has more levels this time and is worthly in any gamers collection. Go buy it now!
8545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 have
SOUND AND MUSIC 6.5/10
2071 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The graphics and audio in this game really leave more to be desired, but the overall gameplay is loads of fun. Mission objectives and dificuly are good although you won't find yourself in a lot of full-blown shoot outs. Nevertheless, it is a good game and I definitely would reccomend it.
The interface doesn't take much to get used to as it still resembles the old Diablo. It is fairly intuitive.
Regardless you can easily get about seven to eight hours of gameplay out of this one which is pretty impressive given today's second hand prices. If you're looking to introduce a younger gamer into gaming and want to do it with a less expensive system like the GameBoy Advance this is a great way to go.
1011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Goldeneye 007", at first glance, looks like yet another installment into the tired and outdated "First-Person" shooter game genre. The big suprise is that it is so much more than a standard shooter or a bog standard movie translation.
2520 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I ordered this product on Sunday and it took 4 days to arrive. In the buying options section I saw sign that said very good. So I ordered it it came just as it was in the description! Oh by the way in order to unlock Luigi you must go to the first save file hit start then it will say copy. copy the save file then go to the copied save file hit start again then go down to clear then hit the select button and then it'll say erase all data. All the data will be deleted but if you erase all your data you get to play as Luigi so yeah.. Anyway The seller I got it from is Sosa games. also really fun game!! It's also hard to!! Anyway I recommend this game to whoever is buying a GameBoy color or has one

2560 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have several racing games, including the best of all racers, those on Dreamcast (F355, Test Drive: Le Mans, and Sega Rally 2). I also have the "licenses-galore" Gran Turismo 2 on PSX and Sega GT. Simply put, I have much more fun playing R4 than the "licenses-galore" simulation racers, and place R4 on the replayability level of Sega Rally 2 (my favorite of all).
While it seems dated now, it is also extremely playable, and at times even challenging. The expansion levels are good, although sometimes it blows if your hero character dies, because then you suffer an automatic defeat. Fortunately, this doesn't happen very often to me, since I keep my heroes well back from the action.
9510 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is nearly a perfect football game, they actually improved over the first installment which I didn't think possible. You now have 16 plays on offense (only 8 at a time on screen), There are more long running plays and passing is more challenging. The QBs can't throw tacklers off as easily either, which leads to more sacks by non-human controlled players. They added trades, free agents and Carolina/Jacksonville. Overall this may be the best football game ever.
The weapons in Unreal Tournament are varied and numerous. Unlike Quake III, each weapon features an 'alternative fire' option, such as multiple rockets fired simultaneously or a concentrated ball of shotgun fire, rather than the regular spread-shot. Weapon such as the sniper rifle or the 'Ripper', a gun that fires razorblades at high speeds, creates a unique experience that leaves Quake III for dead.
This is a wonderful game in which you control a civilization to victory by conquering another civi's city. It is different every time you play. I HIGHLY reccommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the Command and Conquer series.
Blood Content 9/10

Racing require good racing skills to start but Gymkhana requires a perfect control of the vehicles and most of us will never achieve such level. So I find the attemps slightly pointless and extremely frustrating.

The game will run quite well on a low-end system, which can't be said for its rival, SimThemePark. It's easy to use, and quite satisfying to play. You can name the park, name each ride, and even name each individual visitor! It's easy to get attached to your creation, and sit for hours tweaking it.
With a battle party of six, you may at first feel a bit overwhelmed with

Ganon's castle is supposed to be exhilarating and suspenseful. It's supposed to be filled with dangerous traps, tricky puzzles and enemies all over the place. But... the one in Ocarina of Time falls way short of being presentable by normal Legend of Zelda standards. Instead the castle is dominated with mini quests where you have to go through 6 trials to dispel the main barrier. The problem is that each trial contains really simple and short rooms where you only spend a couple minutes in each one performing the same tasks that you already had to do in the previous dungeons such as collecting 5 silver rupees. This is the complete opposite of being overwhelmingly threatening. Another bonus point for Link to the Past. Oh and the Ganon fight? His strategy is stolen from Agahnim's battle from Link to the Past but takes SEVERAL more minutes to bring down. Remember how you fought Agahnim? Yup, same exact strategy but in a 3D world. Sigh. The second part of the Ganon fight (after a looooong and tedious time-based departure from the top of a castle) is to shoot arrows at Ganon and hit his glowing behind several times. It's really easy, all of it. However fighting him in one of the early dungeons (Forest Temple) is actually one of the most memorable in the entire Zelda series. This is because Ganon rides a horse in and out of these picture frames hanging on the wall making for a VERY unique graphics effect and perhaps an original concept. Reminds me of a Harry Potter movie.
4814 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Warcraft II is the game that really put Blizzard on the map. I honestly cannot recall a PC game that I was more obsessed with than Warcraft II. While it was not the first RTS(real-time strategy) it was one of the first and it was my first RTS. Computers had advanced enough that made RTS games possible. Typical Blizzard testing and retesting made this one of the best balanced RTS games and despite over a decade and a half of other RTS games this is still one of the best. My PC at the time could not handle the game and I literally bought a better one so I could play Warcraft II. Many a late night of playing one scenario after another or the great campaign. Still very highly recommended.
- Without spoiling the ending, the incredibly obnoxious music you experience at the game completion screen appears WAY too many times throughout the game in this version, such as whenever you gain an additional Continue (can of worms) and when you're fighting the snowman and rooster bosses. It's overkill. I don't like this theme song at all. I'd like to know the name of this song though -and where it originated- because it reeks of familiarity so I KNOW it came from somewhere famous. Reminds me of Midwestern small town parade music.
6547 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy V & VI is a great re-visit for fans of the series or anyone playing it for the first time. Hard to believe how far this series has come in the past 20 years!

9821 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ironically, this was my second Kirby game that i brought. The first Kirby game i had brought was Dreamland 2. Even though it's the easiest game in my Video Game library, it's still great. I've played it several times and yet, i'm not yet bored of the game. It was basic and all, yet great. Ya see, i have a policy about games. Every vacations (winter midwinter, summer, regents week, etc, i replay all of my gameboy games (old and new) that way, i won't be bored, and i wouldn't be neglecting them. The graphics and the music i felt were good and the gameplay was average.

Basically, this is a high concept game that didn't quite make the grade and feels very rushed (despite the fact that I waited a long time during its extended development.) Furthermore, with the next generation systems now on the market, the graphics and framerate become simply unacceptable and this game might be better off when viewed as a curiousity piece or a very early beta of Grand Theft Auto 3,
Anyway, the plot is very detailed and there was obviously a lot of thought put into it.
Graphics: I own Quake for the PC, Sega Saturn, and N64. Unfortunately, the N64 version is the only one to suffer from blurry textures. This blur effectively wipes all textures of their smaller details. That, combined with the fact that the environments have more simplified architecture than in the PC and Saturn versions, sometimes leaves the game to appear very dull. However, if your are not overly-familiar with the PC or Saturn versions, this may not be as noticable to you.

4115 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The graphics are ok but nothing compare to today standard. Love the game play and the difficulty of the game.
7637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game!
1448 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can play this game comfortably on my old XP machine without a special video card. That's worth a lot in my book. Not to mention the joy of spending most of my gaming time BUILDING rather than destroying. However, if you want, you can sick all kinds of crises and destroy the city if you want.... sometimes that's fun. This is a great strategy game.
You have no desire to collect Nintendo products,
If you can stand the frustration, this is a good game to buy if you find it at a low price.
I remember Xmas in 1992 when I was 12, walking around a snowy Edinburgh and seeing this game displayed proudly in all the toy/game shops. I really wanted it, I thought it was the coolest thing. Then on Xmas morning I finally managed to get a Genesis, I got this game with it too and Xmas couldn't have been cooler. The music, the graphics, the highly-imaginative levels and Sonic's way-past-cool pal Tails made this game truly great. There was some controversy at the time that the 3D graphics on the special stage caused epileptic fits but I never got any more than a headache.
REPLAY-VALUE 5/5:...it came with EVERYTHING but nuff about that< an i still play it (with barbarian cuz he my favorite even though people like Gilius the Dwarf) to this very day!2 player is also jus incredible! I never played the arcade version but it feels like u are playin an arcade game (unlike sega smash pack golden axe=p)this is 100% addicted jus like any classic...
Cons: The Tremor Pak Plus is both larger and heavier than the Rumble Pak produced by Nintendo, not to mention the original Tremor Pak produced by InterAct. This is because it has an additional slot to stick a memory card into the Tremor Pak. Presumably, InterAct thought people would like it, since it allowed them to use a controller pak and a rumble pak at the same time. Nice thought on their part, but the original Tremor Pak is, as a consequence, much sleeker and even more desirable than this improved version.
All in all the game is satisfying, thrilling and features a storyline worthy of any 80s action saga which is the feel they were going for there. More to the point I think they were really trying for an Escape From New York feel and I think they accomplished that without it feeling like a rip off but it certainly has the same spirit.
Graphics 6/10:
1300 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite N64 games. It was in great condition and worked perfectly. A must play for Mario fans new and old.
The controls are innovative and simple, but not very well implimented. Its easy to get the hang of walking and driving the multitudes of cars/boats/planes/tanks, but the controls are too lose for your character to move around with much precision. In addition, the aiming system also fails to live up to its high concept. Basically you press the aim button, which brings up a cool looking recticule, but limits your movements. However, since the enemies are so slow and predictable, and the areas are so spacious, battles boil down to mere shooting galleries. When the enemies get tougher, faster, and more numerous in the later levels, it remains a shooting gallery, just with the bugs doing the shooting. At this point in the game, vehicles become not just the coolest part of the game (and they are cool) but totally necissary, since you are toast without them even on the easy difficulty. Combat in vehicles, even with aiming cababilities, usually devolve into shooting whatever is right in front of you.
If I had to pick a handful of games to represent the SNES, or just great games in general, I would heartily recommend this one!
As some of the other reviewers have stated, this game used digitized graphics and controls made popular by Mortal Kombat at the time. So, it looks great for a SNES game and uses the Batman license. Unfortunately, everything else about the game sucked. Batman and Robin both move around like either tanks or robots. Basic things like walking and jumping are a chore to do. They each have special moves, which are set up like moves you perform in fighting games, except they rarely work. The enemies were super hard to beat and it seems every couple of minutes you see a loading screen (you should NEVER wait for a game to load if it's on a cartridge!) Add in the lack of save features or continues and you got a hard game that wasn't meant to be played or beaten.
This game started it all though. This changed the platformer forever. While Mario and Sonic we're still going left to right in their side scrolling adventures, Crash took us into his world with glorious 3D. It said something about the future of games and consoles at the same time and it was only on Playstation. Even today, this is a very challenging platformer. Amidst the Ratchet's, Jak's, Sly's and 3D Mario's and Sonic's, the original Crash is about as tough as there is. But it's also compelling enough to want to keep going. You never don't know how your going to get through the level (they're linear afterall), it's getting the right timing and touch to do what needs to be done. There are some truly insane levels here that will test all your patience and nerve. But you'll just want to keep trying, at least till you get to your next save point so you know you don't have to do the level again that you just did. Fortunately, there's plenty of fruit and extra lives, but your gonna need them all.
The CONS: A few issues pop up that prevented me from giving it a 5 star rating but they are rather small and doesn't ruin the overall experience. The game won't save your progress until you beat Andross on his home planet and even at that, it only saves your overall score and how many lives you have. So if you have to quit the game, you'll have to start from the beginning all over again the next time you play. The game's difficulty spikes up on certain planets while it plummets on others so you may have to replay certain planets until you memorize it completely. The multi player modes aren't really anything special so you won't play this with your friends for long periods of time unlike other games like Goldeneye 007 or Perfect Dark.
But what a challenging and hauntingly beautiful game this turned out to be! The puzzles are very well integrated into the story, but it is foremost the story itself that earns the five stars. You have to wander through several worlds that are so very, very weird they will stretch your imagination to the limit. The plot unfolds itself nicely, and will keep surprising you.
5940 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Diablo 1 players. Yes, I know you have suffered, but Diablo 2 fixed all their problems and this game is 700 times better! Get it!
the good- cool enemies, powers, levels. great replay value.
For the people that say it doesn't work with all their games, you need to put the card in slot 1 of your controller for most games. Sega was smart, and put 2 slots on the controller for memory cards, yet stupid game designers are only making games that recognize slot 1. Only a couple games like Sonic Adventure 2 recognize slot 2.
4050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many of you know this game, from the publicity it got from Counterstrike. Many of you counterstrike player's might not know of this game. But you should, this game back when it was released (1998) was ahead of its time, it introduced the puzzle element it FPS games, the cinematic feeling you got when you play the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist working at the Black Mesa Anomalous Materials Research Center. If you haven't yet bought this game or haven't yet even tried it. It is definately a game you should have on your shelve at home. I have been seeing reviews right here on this sight saying that the graphics are dated, well duh... they are the game is 5 years old, and still kicking, with a multiplayer gaming community that is larger than Quake 3, Unreal Tournament 2003, & Battlefield 1942 combined. And is still growing. This game is a part of history, if you want to be involved in this history than I suggest you buy this game. This game has by far the most modifications out for it than any other game out there, with striving mod community's such as SvenCoop, Natural Selection, Science & Industry, & the yet to be released Half-life Rally.
8375 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, this is THE best RTS I have ever played. The controls are quite simple, the concept is intreaging, the graphics are blazing, and sound is blasting, and the game play is like none other. I was suprised at all the bland, average ratings and reviews Armada was getting among the game sites, but when it came down to the people's choice, Armada glittered. This game is simply amazing, with 4 different races, other Star Trek people (such as Cardassians, Jem'Hadar and Feringi) that are standing by for gaming support, and multiplayer options! Woa, overdrive. Okay, look, I didn't even know what GENRE Armada was before I bought it! I was just in the store, and it was $20! (Canadian). I had ... beans in my pocket, so I shelled 'em out, since I am a huge Trekie, I trusted that the game would be good. Noticing that it was RTS, I was suprised, and almost dissapointed, but when I played the game, it was far richer than any Sim or Action! If you have $... lyin' around, get Armada...! It will take you to the far reaches of your moniter, erm, space.
6567 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game should have NEVER been released in its current state. Its load times are unacceptable. Both games feel like chores playing because of how long everything takes due to very poor emulation. Squaresoft wanted to make as much money as they could with the game without having to spend any money to hire someone who could make the game work properly with the PS1. This is an extremely bad port of FF5 and FF6. FF5 freezes very often when you try to save. Also its load times are long. Not to mention this is the original translation of the game, so be prepared to have a certain character talk like a drunken brain damaged pirate the entire game. FF5 just butchers the English language. FF6 is the same as it was on SNES except for extremely long load times. It becomes a chore trying to open the menu to heal your character or whatever. The long load times really take away from the games and just makes the whole thing a bad experience. Stick to the SNES or get these games on gameboy advance. Also FF5 is exactly the same on PSN as it was in anthology. LONG LONG load times as well as being incompatible with your PS3 half the time. Shame on you square soft, shame.
There are still games coming out from independent developers. Both GunLord and Sturmwind are announced to arrive sometime soon.
FINAL RATING: 10 OUT OF 10
MDK2
Characters (7/10): The characters are interesting at first, until you realize that everyone's the same. All possess the same plucky, happy-go-lucky adventurer personality. I have nothing against light-hearted games, but everyone really did seem to have the exact same personality; there was just no balance to the party. Speaking of party, there was a high rate of people joining and then permanently leaving, this (or something else?) really meant that no one really got any siginificant character development. Most everyone had no back story of interest (or at all) and were not well developed.
This really is a great time to buy Starcraft - the price is reasonable, there are still many people who play this game, and the community has been revitalized by the announcement of Starcraft 2. Long story short, if you don't own Starcraft, and have even a passing interest in strategy games, you owe it to yourself to buy this product.
And once you've beaten the game, there's still more content. There's a second adventure mode with the mirror tracks, and after that, there's a very challenging time trial mode which allows you to unlock T.T.. And after that, there are cheat codes (one of which turns the one-player mode into a two player mode, and another allows you to bolster the AI of the computer kart racers, which extends replay value well into forever).
*The enemies of Doom I were good but Doom II they just added more to the roster that were literally far tougher and could kill you quick if you weren't on your toes. Mass quantities of monsters coming at you at once as the Doom series I always found to possess the most intense battles you'll come across on a FPS game. That's not to call any of the newer games weak but by going 2D but ID Software was just able to dish out much more when it came to traps and high volume monster shooting.

3453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the third and one of the hardest installement in the series. Esepcially on hard mode. Here are some tips on how to beat this game on hard mode based of a speed run release early this year or late last year. Try to put on infinite help. If seeing how fast you can do this get the shotgun as soon as powerful and use it at close range when neccessary when fighting multiple normal enemies. When attacked by nemissi run away as fast as you can since he is programm to eliminate all sureviving mebers of star a millitray defense force created to expose the illegal umbrela corporetations experiment. The main character is injected with a virus but do to a cermun called thew T cell whgich delays the zombie fication program she still has control over here self. Get the shooty gun. At the end of the game you can hurt nemesis and after turning the power of in the final before the city is nuked of the map you have a choice of finishing nemsis of permantely if you have cheats one or can hit him fromn a distance with the shoot guns or the freeze gas and other weapons that you can find or unlock or if you have enough herbs to restore your health before you die. Running more will get you through the game faster and quicker which you want on hard mode if you don't have life super armoor or infinte shotgun shells or something like that. They don't mention nemsis orgin as clear parts of this game were partly based on the second movie resident evil reserection. Nemesis does not turn on the scientist that experiment on him at the last minute allow Jill a few second head start before the helicopter is shoot down and explodes in the movie but she survives. If you ernjoy this try the super hard resiodent evil four or the diono cris games
2499 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is ok. When I rented it for 5 days, it got boring at the last day. My brother got Jigglypuff using DK. I would rent it before buying it. If you like it, buy it.
This game has a perfect balance of gameplay for first-time gamers and extra sub-missions for experienced ones. Think it's too easy? Obviously you haven't gotten all the heart pieces, found all the Skulltulas, earned all the jars, achieved the Biggoron sword, or caught the Hylian Loach. Any one of those tasks would create a challenge for anyone.
148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 excellent

4319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I guess that's a good thing, when you are up all night playing a game, some might consider it less than ideal when you have to go to work the next day.
Many, many people have complained about how dino crisis should be called puzzle crisis. It is true that there is an unusual amount of puzzles in the game that you must solve to advance. They range from simple (switch the batteries) to the moderatly difficult (move the crates with a crane) to the quite difficult (Rotate electronic chips to divert power). There are also a mamoth amount of keys that you must get (Around 50). There are also DDK locks that you have to dechiper to unlock doors (Hence the title of this review). Most of these puzzles can be solved moderatly easily, if you really think about it. Overall, I'd say that the game is a 50/50 mix of puzzles and dinosaur action.
Lastly, the story is about as intriguing and deep as a pile of... well, you get the idea. The story begins all right, but then lapses into a nauseating, mismatched soap opera between the main character and his rival's ex. Not only that, but the main character's attitude prevents the gamer from learning what the "villain" is really after; they never give you a deep enough look at her.

5426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Version Of Nortal Kombat Was The Absolute Best. It Has All Chracters From Mortal Kombat. Well Sort Of, Not ALL Characters, Such As Their Different Versions of MK1 and MK3. Like Sonya For Example, You Can Only Use Her MK3 Version and No Classic MK1 Sonya. But Thats Not The Flaw, The Problem Here Is ONLY the Loading. Its The Best Game, But the Loading In Between Fights are Kinda Annoying. Especially After you Want another shot at it. But to Me, If that Were Fixed, It Would Be a Flawless Mortal Kombat Game. I Would Buy It Since You Can Play As All FOUR Boss Characters. Goro, Kintaro, Motaro and Shao Kahn.
7249 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What would you say if I told you that an automated nuclear carrier was carrying 2 nuclear warheads and they started to leak, what would you say if that carrier had locked in the most direct path in order to detonate the weapons at the safest point possible, yet if the warheads are hit, they will explode destroying everything within a close radius. That is the premise of Blast Corps. and yes it is as much fun as the title could possibly imply. This is one of the first games I bought for my Nintendo 64 and I'm still not sorry that I bought it. It is possibly one of the funnest games ever on the Nintendo 64. What kind of game gives you heavy vehicles and man piloted suits in order to level city after city to clear the path for a truck carrying weapons of mass destruction. The game graphically is fine looking and the controls make the game a joy to play. I strongly recommend this game, because, there are times when you need to just blow something up.
The battle system first of all is the most boring turn based combat system ive ever seen. Oh and youll spend 80 percent of the game running around the countryside fighting monsters to build your levels (thats all the game's empahsis is on, building levels) and thatll bore you after about a couple of hours, off and on. The game's story seems to get loss in the building of levels after the first few hours or so.
The Highs: Great graphics, AI system is strong, very detailed locals, and the wonderful sniper rifle...ooo!
They just can't make anything that even comes close to what they did back then. I wish they did, but they can't! It was just too well done! lol

8353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it
The Junction system is a great addition but it's overly complex. The big problem with it, however, is that the game never gives you an incentive to use one character over another aside from their limit breaks, which are very powerful attacks, but only useful if your HP falls into the yellow (or you cast a certain spell). Battling in Final Fantasy VIII can be fun, but the biggest problem is that it never encourages you to take advantage of it. You can draw spells, but depleting your stock of spells also depletes the stat its junctioned to. In short, if you want to keep most of your stats in tip top shape you'll want to refrain from using some of the game's more devastating spells (as they'll be used to junction). The junction system does work, however, in letting gamers challenge themselves. You can make the game as hard or as easy as you like.
But wait...it is much more fun to play on the MSN Gaming Zone. You can actually talk to your ally(allies) and chat and trade resources, make strategies, etc. You can't entirely do this with the computer. I love playing with other people, because it adds that much more excitement. Here's how to play with other people via the internet:

There's one reviewer who says this is an improvement on the original with some sassy style. They're %100 correct.

1756 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This Director's Cut is the only version of this game you should own, simply because it supports the Analogue joysticks on the Playstation controller. The control in the other versions is impossible at times, and a bugger to learn if you are a first time player.
71 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This box set is a wonderful addition to any Legend of Zelda collection! This set includes 6 Prima Guides, a metal bookmark, a certificate of authenticity, and a magnetic-closure treasure chest. The Prima guides included are for the games: Ocarina of Time 3D, Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. The guides speak for themselves, they walk you through all aspects of these games, giving you tips and help to complete the games. All of the books are high-quality hard cover, with gold-edged pages. I am a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda, and this box set was a perfect addition to my collection. I would recommend this box set to any fan of this franchise, plus the price on Amazon can't be beat!
What also makes this game really neat is how you chose the ending, and your fate; you can be a replicant killer and kill all the replicants in the story, or you can be a replicant helper and help the replicants escape. The music is straight from the film, even though Vangelis didn't do the job. Most of the stars from the film, (Sean Young, Joe Turkel, William Sanderson, ect.) return to their charecters' voices, exept for Ruger Hauer, Harrison Ford and Daryl Hannah. Some people think that Gaff in the game (yes, he is) is played by, none other, than Edward James Olmos; this is false. EJO is way to great of an actor to be played in a video game. Most of the charecters in the game replicate the ones in the movie, (for example, Ray is supposed to be Deckard, Roy Baty is replaced by a rep. named Clovis and Cap. Bryant is replaced by a fat, sleazebag named Guzza). Even one of the endings, in which Ray drives off with a girl replicant, is a copy of the original ending for the movie! This game is the best. You'll like it even if your not a BR fan. Enjoy!
~Weaponry~ There are 45 new weapons, and even (when completing all the weapons training with gold medals on each weapon) some of the old Geoldeneye weapons (cool huh?) ~Here's a list of the pistols available in the game~ Falcon2: Similiar to the trusty Walther PPK (the PP7) from Goldeneye, this is your average weapon, avaliable on almost every single level. It's accurate (it has a laser sight for even more accuracy), it's got a quick reload (about 1.8 seconds), an eight round clip, and quick fire. (Although I don't get why for stealthy missions they give you a shiny gun)

4804 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 WarCraft 2 is a legendary game made by Blizzard, a big gaming company as of now. The game when it came out had everything and was a start of a brand new kind of game play. Now with THIS edition though you can play on the internet, which was something many people wanted for some time. The races of 2 arn't nearly as strategic as StarCraft, its following great achiever, due to the facts that the Orcs and Humans in the game play are almost identical. The only real difference is the spells, and the way the units look.
It is also the best racing sim ever. All hardcore racers love it!
The memory card is the same size as the controller pak Nintendo originally made. Alas, it is not bundled with some of the larger memory cards that InterAct produced. But most games will easily fit onto the 123-page card.

A real nice addition is the ride 'foot-printing' and the sound files for specific rides, and the expanded color options. The detail on sprites and new graphics is incredible.

THE GAME WORLD IS TOTALLY AWESOME. It's gloomy, post-apocolyptic, but totally cool. The game designers really put some time in on coming up with interesting settings. I rarely use the phrase "sense of wonder" in conjunction with a computer game, but time and again I came across situations and settings that really blew me away. Also, the game world reflects a more adult understanding of human nature than any other game out there. The amount of thought they put into the political situations, social structures, and personal rivalries is really quite impressive.

Cruis'n World is based on the fun arcade game that was released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998. The premise is the same as it was in the first game: pick a car, select a track and then race against the crowd to get 1st place. Just like the first game, you can unlock a few extra cars and tracks to extend re playability. And then, Midway added more stuff to the N64 game: 4 player support, new music, a time trial mode, a practice mode and a championship mode where you can unlock additional cars.

All accounted for, Resident Evil 2 is everything a sequel should be. It integrated many of the elements that made the first game successful, improved upon the areas in which the original was lacking, picked up the story and ran with it, and delivered an overly solid presentation. There are still some major flaws with both the gameplay and the story, but on the whole this is a big step in the right direction. Resident Evil 1 was an unexpected surprise, solid but not necessarily legendary. Part two really put the series on the map as a serious force.
2660 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the best Street Fighter experience one can have on the original Playstation. With well over 20 characters selectable from the outset, classic Street Fighter gameplay, and multiple gameplay modes, this is one fighting game worthy of adding to any gamer's library. There are a few faults though. Some animation problems are present here and there (some characters have newly animated moves that don't quite fit with their old set of animation frames), the endings could have had more attention paid to them, and some of the music is rather bland. Also, for those of you who may not know, the Alpha series is supposed to take place between the events of the original Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2. So why are we seeing characters appear that are from the later versions of Street Fighter 2, such as Deejay, Fei Long, T. Hawk and Cammy? Even though Capcom may need to work on the story a bit, it's still nice to see all of the Street Fighters together in one game, so I'm not complaining. Even though there have been countless versions of Street Fighter before it, Street Fighter Alpha 3 proves that you can't beat a classic formula, and that the series is still very enjoyable. Unless you're completely burnt out on 2D fighting games, I recommend picking up Street Fighter Alpha 3 for either Playstation or Dreamcast.
4176 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though this is an older game it is still fun. Though the story mode is next to impossible (I'm not a seasoned real time strategy player). Each mission gets progressively harder as you go through. The thing I like the most about this game is how every unit has a purpose. I've played several RTS were you could conquer the map with only one type of unit and not give much thought to your strategy other than destroy the enemies. If you go into this game with that mind set you won't make it very far.

Graphics: Back then these graphics were through the roof. More realistic lighting and textures, a bit more emphasis on art design and decor as opposed to the bland levels of Goldeneye and character animations are smoother. The framerate did take a hit occasionally but not enough to make you curse that its so jittery. Now it certainly has aged though you can appreciate it for what it is now and what the game did at the time but if you're going to play an old game, be prepared for old looking stuff.
1219 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of the best n64 games
9709 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought Pharoah first, so when I played Caesar, I realized I'm just in a different country. Don't misunderstand me, both are really good games; not too easy, not too hard.
You love racing games,
Abilities: 5/5
1062 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Truly a classic. This game was one of the first I got for the N64, and it is one of my favorites today. As it gives graphics that were hardly ever seen in the early N64 days, it also has gameplay almost unmatched by the games of it's era. The sound is moderate, but sound isn't a very big facter in deciding the rating of the game.
78 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These books are much higher quality than the standard release strategy guides. Obviously the books are hardbound allowing them to be more durable, but also the pages are printed on 80lb paper so they are thicker more durable pages than the original magazine releases. The material has also been revised from the original print so they are the most complete and accurate of the guides to date. I just received my guides recently and I have copy number 49647 of 50000. When these are gone Prima has said that they will not be reprinted. They have also released a collector's guide individually for A Link Between Worlds that I grabbed as well. Again the quality of the information inside is excellent as is the quality of these books that will surely become collector's items. Here's hoping they also release books for Majora's Mask when it inevitably releases on the 3DS as well as the new Zelda adventure for the Wii U later this year or Spring 2015, whenever it is ready.
Sound: 1 out of 5 (fairly decent sound effects, bad music)
3019 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For me this was my first Final Fantasy experience and I am proud to say this is not only one of my favorite Final Fantasy's its also one of my most favorite rpg's. I don't give VII 5 stars because its the first final fantasy game I played, I give it 5 stars because it truly is an amazing roller coaster of excitement, emotion and even add humor into the mix as well as not being just kid friendly. Not only that but it has the one of the most memorable vilians if not the most memorable one, Sephiroth.
So, please be aware of the controller use limit. The game will en up in the corner. Very sad, shipping and the item it self where very good. Hope the TY1 is better(is in the Mail). LOL, yes, lots of old games but my son is 5, so let him scratch or kill the game on accitent, same as the PS2, it's not a big Deal. But for now it helps him to learn to handle games and take care of stuff. And the games are cheap, since some PPL always think they have to have the Newest. Thanks to those, like this we have fun for less.
6328 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Back in the day--and by that I mean the late 90's--my family and I owned our own Sony Playstation console. It was an amazing console with games such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. Without any real competition from Sega during the mid 90's, Playstation and the Nintendo 64 struggled to show everybody who was the best.
The graphics are cool, and the zombies are awesome. I played the game in the dark, recommended by a friend and I thought it was as suspenseful as a real movie! The controls are a little confusing at first, but then I got used to them. The puzzles are the only really drawback in this cool game. It took me days just to figure out one puzzle. But I got the hang of it.
Artwork: Is great even to todays standards 10/10
Actual gameplay is a blast. Weapons are well balanced and suited to almost anyone's style of combat- from the close-quarters effectiveness of the Enforcers to the long-range sniper rifle.
I liked many aspects of this game, from the badguys, to the weapons, to the atmoshphere. This is the first game I played which actually creeped me out at times. That opening sequence played a good mind trip, with immersing you into an everyday enviornment which spirals horribly out of control. But I can describe the weapons and beasties some other time. I think what I have shown you speaks for whether or not this game is a good investment.
Farewell Dreamcast you are missed, you may be dead, but your games live on.
2722 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a little late in reviews since I played its GBA remake Lunar Legend first. (I luckily got this game in trade from my local Game Express) Well anyway from the other reviews you know the basics
2535 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 low light on the screen not good
If you love strategy games and for some reason haven't tried X-Com - find a copy of it. (The PC version is WAY easier to get a hold of then the PS1 version and is a better port of the game anyway) If you loved games like Final Fantasy Tactics, C&C, Warcraft or less recognizable classics such as Dune 2 and the more recent Disgaea Hour of Darkness then you owe it to yourself to see what you've been missing.
5602 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes the magic system is a little strange, but this is one of the best final fantasies out there. The story is superb and the world is amazing. Some of the best summons in the series to date as well, Diablos is awesome! Do yourself a favor and play this game
BUT, the original did have more continues(6) while this game only has 3. It doesn't help that continues must be shared between players. So if one bad player uses multiple continues, the more experienced player may end up getting game over first because all the continues are gone.
Dead or Alive 2
I definitely enjoy this game not only as a great game in its own right, but also a good indicator of what strategy games to come will look like, as machine speeds catch up to the ingenuity and creativity of modern day game designers. With the bar raised on display, perhaps all styles of strategy game will shortly look this gorgeous.
Donkey Kong has graphics and gameplay very similar to Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. So, those who liked those two games will love DK64. Also, fans of the Donkey Kong franchise will not be let down. Donkey Kong 64 is addictive and you'll always love exploring the new environments the game places you in. There's always aspects to the level that are unique and also crucial to getting golden bananas (For example, in the forest level, there is a giant clock that switches the game between day and night. Some bananas can only be reached at certain times of the day.). The degrees of difficulty for getting the bananas range from stupidly easy to impossible. Many, however, are just pure fun. Overall, DK64 is a very enjoyable game and good for all ages.
3280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is truly the best Resident Evil made so far! When i first turned it on and watched the first opening movie i was amazed! The graphics are great! So after that i got the first moment of gameplay. Same controls. Im used to em but they were a little difficult to master when i played the first resident evil. I go up the stairs what are there? Zombies! Different zombies actually. There graveyard zombies! I have a knife and try and kill em. I somehow do it. Im thinking ugh this game is gonna be hard! What do i do? Keep playing and run oit of ammo fast and die! If you really want to be able to beat this game you need to buy some kind of strategy guide or something. So why are you reading this? Go buy the game! Its the best so far!
877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game along with Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64 basically use the same basic style with different characters. They are are a blast even now, though it takes playing it now to realize how clumsy the camera system on these games was. I don't know how I managed to get all the notes while playing on the N64, I find it next to impossible now to have the patience to navigate some of the last levels with the slowness and precision needed to prevent falling off a cliff and having to spend 5 minutes getting back up, or worse, dying, in which case you lose all your notes in the level and have to collect them from scratch. Thus I quicksave often.
So if you have played more recent titles and are wondering if this will seem dated, rest assured that on the fun factor scale it compares very favorably to newer titles. But if you have never played this type of game, you may want to consider another title first unless you have a friend to help you out or are willing to invest the time needed to figure it out on your own.
8320 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 But haven't ya'll heard of an uldn' but a goodn'?
9703 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This may have been a good game 5 years ago, but compared to recently released games, it is pitiful!! The graphics are terrible!
Well, first, recognize that Civ II (before this add-on) was The Best of its time. And taken in that context, may have been the Best Strategy Game Ever. In fact, if you're still running a 60mhz Pentium with 16MB, you may as well load this up and just pretend it's 1996. It's a five-star game, hands down.
6445 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best real time strategy game available and I will explain why.
Bosses put up a pretty good fight
1114 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 the game was awesome. Zelda has always been an addicting, mindblowing, and fun game. Many people like it. The game features a great 3d world in which there is night and day. the game also has many different enemies and dungeons and the famous ocarina where you can play different tunes that you have learned. A really good game if you like action and adventure. The frustrating thing are the puzzles. they may take some time to solve. This is not why i gave the game 4 stars. I believe 5 stars means the game is perfect. and this game is not perfect.
This game should enable you to have loads of fun with your N64. And if you don't have one, it's worth picking one up just to play this. Seriously!
If you like to chase endless hords of enemys then the game is for you. If not don't bother with it.
But moving on...
The monsters are excellent, varying widely in size, shape, type and ability. There are plenty of unique monsters who drop nifty magical and (sometimes) unique items.
Overall: A nice addition to this wonderful series, and a must buy for someone that likes games like chess, D&D, and the like. The game is a lot like Chess, but with more excitement and strategy
907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All in all, this is the best platform game that I have played in a long time. Of course, it follows the basic formula of a platformer - kidnapped female, evil castle, jump on enemies, etc. But the reason the formula still exists is due to the fact that, occasionally, it works really well. Banjo-Kazooie is a case where the cliche works to perfection. Although we question Nintendo's blatant violation of the genetic cloning ban put in place by the president, they did so for a good cause, and a damn good game.
7391 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Killer Instinct Gold is the near perfect arcade port of Killer Instinct 2 and was released on the Nintendo 64 in the fall of 1996. From the same guys that brought us Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini and Goldeneye 007, it is the first game to come from Rare and proved to be quite a fighting game.
It was the first game I've ever completed in its entirety, and I go back from time to time to replay it, no matter how many times I've caught the monkeys. The sequels are good, but this stands out as the first game to fully require the DualShock controller, and the music in this installment is my favorite in the series.
7479 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No static at all! Yay! That's pretty much all you can hope for. Just keep in mind, you cannot get stereo sound with this for your PS1/2/3. This works for all versions, because PlayStation was kind and smart enough to keep adapter plugs the same. As for the picture it's still very high quality. This adapter isn't as "messy" as using converter boxes or those gamestop adapters that feel the need to include every single other console's adapter too. The sound should not be an issue though since it's still very clear and nice, unless we're talking about mono/stereo vs surround sound. In which case you might what to use components, avis, or whatever other kind of cable type for better sound. . . But you should be fine without surround sound since TVs these days have ways to alter sound for better output. (Unless it's like a Toshiba or something, which are notoriously mediocre for sound)
2694 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Over the years, there has been many video game systems, starting from the Atari in the early 1980s to the Playstation 2 in the early 2000s. Each one has a unique controller. The early ones, such as NES and Super NES are awkward. Same with the Playstation, Playstation 2, and the Dreamcast. But when we come to the Nintendo 64 controller, we find something completely different. The designers seem to have gotten the shape just right so that your hands can fit comfortably in the best position to play games, with each button placed at the most convenient places so you don't have to reach for them. And unlike the old controllers, your hands aren't cramped so the only pain you feel is if you're playing Mario Party without the gloves.
332 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great product that works exactly as the product page states - it extends the reach of the gamecube controller cable by 6 feet. Seems sturdy, and the connection is nice and tight so it doesn't fall off by itself. Not detecting any latency between hitting the controls and actions happening in-game.
L2P (Link to the Past) seriously had everything going for it from good graphics and effects to twist and turn gameplay and story lines to outstanding replay. This was another game that I didn't get tired of because it was that fun to play.
903 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've had this game since way back when it was released; I just never got the chance to write a review.
The game is heavy on micro-management and there is a bit of mouse work involved, but all functions have short cut keys, usually involving the shift or control keys. You can even name your ships and fleets which I love to do.
How were they then? They were amazing back then. It's hard to believe that Rare was able to make such an impressive looking game. The environments are varied and the characters have a surprising amount of detail.
2554 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. I heard the news that there is going to be a 16 bit version of Super Mario Bros. but I can tell you already this version is better and more authentic. It just has a classic look to it that cant be replaced. The game is very simple and to the point when it comes to concept but contains some very hard obstacles later on. If you love Mario I command you to get this game. You owe it to yourslef and to Mario and Luigi. A perfect 10.
Music: 6 Average sounds, nothing phenomenal...
Sonic Jame was a compilation of the first 4 sonic games.
3950 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 love the game

when you are fighting monsters that can do heavy damage to your party.
3013 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My 21 year old plays this so I don't know anything to say except she loves it, as does my wife.
thirsts for power and cares very little about the lives of people in general.
5623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
So, instead of a game where you see elements of civilization compete and clash, as was the intent, new users essentially got another massive army combat game. Not a big deal. It was fun all the same. I was befriended by some guys on the old MS Gaming Zone, and we'd have a blast after work or school, going late at it late at night. And then on the weekends we'd have marathon games in the morning.
Words can't explain the feeling of wandering around an abandoned school where little, naked, deformed children wield knives and wait for you to enter their class room just so they can dig at your throat. This whole game revolves around messing with the player's mind in such a way it makes the player feel like they are there being tormented instead of good ol' Harry Mason. Harry Mason is the hero of the game (if you didn't already know) who's searching for his adopted daughter in the town of Silent Hill. After his car breaks down in town, he awakens to find his daughter missing. But there are clues to where she's gone and now Harry must go and search every nook and cranny of this god-forsaken town to find her.
Though the game boasts a "real time" world, most events wait for you to do something before occurring (bombs won't blow up until you get there, etc). But there are times when you have to do something quickly, or you'll lose your chance to do it (chasing and catching someone so you can pursue a dialogue tree).
- Plays like Tekken, but with weapons
Pros: Fast gameplay, Great graphics, awesome characters,fun to play,pull off huge combos,when using the arcade stick enhances gameplay
This game has average game play, terrible story, horrific graphics even for a late 90's game, and pretty pathetic characters. I played for 3-4 hours and then gave up on it. My free time is limited, and I don't waste time on games that aren't fun because "they might get better." Maybe FFVII really picks up in hour 4. All I know is that I was very disappointed in the game, and I'm quite incredulous about the higher reviews here on Amazon and on other gaming sites.
1739 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Despite mixed emotions from reviewers all over, Mortal Kombat 4 is an awesome fighting game. Taking the once 2-D game into 3-D now adds alot of depth. The game moves just as smoothly and as fast as the past games so, those who still have the 'twitch' when it comes to fighting games, will feel right at home. I remember when I played this at the arcade at our local mall when it first came out. I went up against a 12 year old kid and got my tail kicked by him on it but I was tickled to just get to play it. I'm tickled it's out for the systems. Definitely worth checking out. Collect it if you can.
Hell, sure the story wasn't to die for,but beautiful music,acool combat system, and tons of replay value make this one that every fan of the genre should own.
1157 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ocarina of Time is the finest game made for the Nintendo 64. It is possibly the finest video game made to date. This beautiful 3D world will challenge even the most jaded gamer. The dungeons and temples are beautifully rendered, and each has a remarkably executed theme. The storyline for the game is a typical Zelda story of Link vs. Gannon, but the execution and the gameplay keep it head and shoulders above the rest. You would be doing yourself a disservice to own a Nintendo 64 console without this phenomenal game.
9412 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ugh like one of the best games ever the soundtracks are amazing and it has secret difficulty levels that make the game amazing a must buy!
8585 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Battle mode is where it's at! When this came out I used to frequent a weed dealer's house that always had tons of people passing through and we used to smoke and play battle mode for hours on end. Super nostalgic game for me and there's a reason it's among the best games of all time. I actually rarely played races, because battling was just too much fun.
8156 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of my favorite games when I was little, I loved the fact that you could use Yoshi. He is so cute!
Well now it's time to talk about the story. King K Rool is trying to destroy DK isles with his Blast-O-Matic machine. But King K Rool's ships crashes and his machine malfunctions and his ship comes face-to-face with DK isles. King K Rool captures all the Kong's (besides Donkey Kong) and steals their hoard of golden bananas. Donkey Kong needs to help his fellow Kong's escape and get their hoard of golden bananas back and stop King K Rool from destroying their precious island.
In this game you have no armour so Magic has to be conjunctioned and this is how you protect yourself from statis effects. The Gardian Force (espers) has to be conjunctioned as well to use magic in the first place which can be a pain to deal with especially when you don't use them much. But I like these especially diablo. Hated them in FFXII and didn't use them.
Space Channel 5
As far as difficulty goes, it's pretty hard. Mission One is easy enough with health packs sitting everywhere, but as soon as Mission Two begins, the difficulty really jumps up. Even on Easy Mode. Of course, the higher difficulty options will greatly increase the challenge, but I think I'm nice and comfortable sticking around on the easiest setting the game has available. A trick to making the game easier is to frequently aim for the heads of enemies. Not their feet or stomach- their heads.
Go to the Interplay website and download the playable demo. Afterwards, pick your jaw up off of the floor so that you can buy the full version.
Gameplay:
Anyways, I needed a strategy guide for some of it. It just, it just is unrealistic. Yea to put out a fire you need a crank in a cabin? Why was the crank removed in the first place. "We need to make it so if there is a fire of some sort, this hose we have hooked up, will release some water." Yea they happened to put a handy dandy hose thingy in the ceiling, so just incase a helicopter crashed under it, or there was a mass fire under it, the hose would put it out. Yea right. Ok you need a cord just to close some shutters so zombies won't attack you? If the police were fighting, they should of closed these shutters beforehand, so less zombies came in. Instead, they decided to put the cord in an office about a mile away. Wanna get into that room? You need the crest and key and plugs buddy! How did the police actually get around this police station.
For those who haven't played this title, it is going to appear very dated, especially the hideously deformed polygon characters. But the backgrounds are beautiful scenes based on hand drawn pictures. The backgrounds are set, so they don't move. Instead you move around them. It was a style used extensively on the PS1 and still used in other games today (especially on the portable systems). Granted, many of us would love to see a remake, and that might happen someday, but not likely any year soon.
GREAT for arcade ports fist and formost
7282 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is without a doubt the best first-person shooter the N64 has to offer. Moving along the lines of the great N64 game GoldenEye, Perfect Dark has made what GoldenEye a success and added on to it to create a great game, with much help with the Expansion Pak. For me, without a doubt, the best one-person level has to be the first one. Where else can you go through a office building shooting practically everyone you see? The music and the tone of the level reminds a person of the Terminator movies. The other great level has to be Chicago-Stealth. This is another great level that the music and dark tone (which is hypened by the rain) makes a great level that you'd wish the developers had made into a multiplayer level. The other levels are not as good as these two, but are still great in their own ways. The sound of the game is another highlight. I love listening to the bad guys yell "I've been shot!", "Is that a bullet", "Holy-", among others. These are just classics. The multiplayer of Perfect Dark is good and bad at the same time. The good is that you can play with bots. The bad is that you can play with bots. Unfortunately, the developers haven't given the player the best multiplayer levels. The first level on the game itself (inside the Datadyne office tower) would have been excellent. Anyway, Perfect Dark is a game that helps those who complained that their wasn't enough adult games for the N64. Perfect Dark is in that category and is a great game.
1489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Doom and Quake have been two of the most incredible FPS series ever. Along with Turok and Half-Life, and even Medal of Honor, Doom is still one of my favorites. I don't even own it anymore, and last time I played it I was about six. While you were all watching Barney the dinosour, my dad and I were blasting demons with rocket launchers and taking out whole armies with a shotgun. I think Doom 3 is really just a remake of Doom 1, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd likely choose this one. Doom 3 is awesome and VERY addictive, but it's so realistic it tends to often freeze up a lot, and don't even get me started on Quake 4... But anyway, Doom was probably the first FPS game I ever played, although with my age, I wasn't really good at it at first. But if I were to play it now, I'd probably be halfway through the game in one day. I never even played Doom II, though my dad did show me the first level of it a long time ago. I wish ID would come out with another game like this, with a simpler story, and gameplay that's simple like this. I miss these old games a great deal, and not owning Doom anymore is beginning to hurt my brain. There's just no originality anymore with anything nowadays, it seems like too many things are stereotypical, or just plain typical. Old games are the best, and we need to make sure we get all the classic old games like this while we can, because they won't be there forever.
1. There are 15 levels that are long and designed to keep you occupied.
He follows a series of odd mutulation murders that have voodoo undertones to them to research the novel he's trying to write -- and is inadvertantly plunged into a side of reality that he didn't know existed, and learns of his family's heritage steeped in fighting such darkness.
The story was amazingly detailed, the characters were all unique, and the game pulled no punches. I highly reccomend it.
-J. Garten
6548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, the graphics are good, the music too, and the gameplay is awesome, i recommend to everybody, buy this game !!!
1st Level: Warehouse - Way too easy, i got all five tapes in one turn.
7739 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game! A childhood classic!!
6751 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having been a MK fan since the first one I was anxious to see where Midway would take the franchise after the frenetic MK II.
Sound: 5/5
P.S. I was able to download the Targa Florio (a huge file). I can't even play a lot of other games with this computer. I also loaded the 3D add-on to the track and took a cruise (ok a few wrecks) through the beautiful scenery. The quality of this track is further proof that Grand Prix Legends still delivers!
5430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I liked the game. It was comparable to the original Mortal Kombat side scrolling fighting games. It still had the PS1 controls.
And the game environment is solid. A very well done and/or tested. I don't recall ever finding anything that was glitchy.
I haven't seen many FPS like Doom Or Quake 2...There great games
8431 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game may be the greatest Mario RPG that Nintendo ever made. Help Mario save the Mushroom Kingdom from a powerful threat by collecting the seven Star Pieces with the help of his friends. Use items and weapons to gain the advantage and level up! An excellent buy for SNES owners
9286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to play this game all the time when I was younger. It's crazy how these games are still so much fun to play these days.
other than that, its just as much fun as the original classic, even the switch to blocky 3-d environments holds up in this day and age, as the areas are just as unique and inviting this time around. the game plays just like Tomba, you'll be slaying evil pigs, climbing around, and picking up side quests for hours. im not sure of the exact number of quests this time around, but its somewhere around 150.
Bad..
1182 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I usually turned off all lights and played game in deep night after a whole-day work, even on bloody Quake I or Doom II, it is ok. And I was for a long time a Quake II fan, esp. in single player mode. With numerous add-on levels distributed on the web, I thought the 3D-shooter game has reached the limit in Quake II. But alas, what a game the Half-Life is! I DARE NOT played it in the deep night alone with all lights off. With a very good storyline and excellent atmosphere, the game is horrible! You never know what the next step will be. The monsters are not stupidly standing there waiting for your bullets, instead they are chasing and hunting you. It is simply the best single player 3d shoot game so far.
3. Link in the same game
In HL Single Player, you're Gordon Freeman, normal scientist late for a day at work at Black Mesa Research Facility. When a test goes wrong at work, the poo hits the fan and soon you're fighting for your life against mutated former comrades and aliens from the border world to clear out an escape route to the surface, and to safety. To top it all of the 'Administrator' (commonly dubbed the G-Man) has gotten the military involved to, erm, clean things up- meaning eliminate all survivors- alien or human.
Verdict
2-player co-op does make the game a bit better, until you either get stuck or get bored. Overall, another dud Batman licensed game.
FF 6 represented a new path for Square in the RPG department. There was a focus on more mature themes and, unlike most other RPGs, there was no main character. Their stories interwove wonderfully and seeing how the characters related to each other was one of the highlights of the game. The gameplay is solid - each character offers their own distinct traits for use during combat, unlike the later FFs (i.e., 7 and 8) and there is an incredible amount of stuff to do in this game. The music is also considered by many to be the best of the FF series.
Magic:
You play as Crash, whose girlfriend is kidnapped by Dr. Neo Cortex. You basically just run through the levels from start to finish and fight bosses after each world. Even though the action is intense throughout, the gameplay becomes really tedious. Crash Bandicoot did nothing new for adventure games and it isn't really 3D since you're restricted to one path. All you do is make your way through levels, dodging obstacles, avoiding enemies, and collect items and nothing more. The difficulty level is not exactly high either, and the challenge is severely lacking.
The game can branch in different directions depending on what actions you take during certain courses.
Big & multible bosses
Okay, if you've played the old 8-bit Nintendo games of Metal Gear, you are going to remember "Solid Snake", as he battled the forces of Outer Heaven. Now, the graphics have improved and so the game has a real "feel" to it, and you're silenced pistol is your best friend. There are two secret items in the game. One is an unlimited ammo bandana, and the other, a stealth suit. And if you beat it twice on the same save... something else happens (think James Bond).
WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
Resident Evil throws the player into an old, dilapidated mansion with the vaguest notion of zombies on the prowl. The original party is split up to investigate the area, and the player is left to find clues towards a path to safety.
-NICE BALANCE OF DIFFICULTY. The first few zones aren't too difficult to get the hang of, though once you reach the Labyrinth Zone, it does jump quite a bit.
6227 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it to death.
My favorite thing about this game is how realistic it is. It's definately probaby the most realistic first person shooter I've ever played (next to Day of Defeat.) But not only that, it was achieved WITHOUT sacrificing gameplay or limiting fun. It's hard to do, yet it was achieved in this game.
Pros:

3092 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I HAVE PLAYED FINAL FANTASY VII EVERYDAY SINCE IT CAME OUT THOSE MANY YEARS AGO. I'VE BEATEN IT COUNTLESS DOZENS OF TIMES AND THE ORGASMIC PLEASURE DERIVED FROM EVERY SECOND OF THIS DIVINE PIECE OF ART HAS YET TO DECREASE, IN FACT IT GETS GREATER. EVERY TIME I SELECT A NEW ATTACK, EVERY TIME I CLICK TO CONTINUE THE SPEECH TREE EVERY SECOND I WANDER ACROSS THE BEATIFUL AND BRILLIANT LANDSCAPE WAITING FOR YET ANOTHER TITILLATING RANDOM ENCOUNTER IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL TREASURE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. YOU HAVE LIVED AND DIED IN VAIN IF YOU GO THROUGH YOUR LIFE WITH OUT EXPERIENCING THIS UNPARALELLED JOY.
4377 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I rate this game only second to Total Annihilation for RTS game though this game combines Graphics, sound, gameplay, and story better, I liked the free downloads of units better and just had more fun playing it.
2928 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very good. just as described
6401 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires is, along with other games, an icon and a mandatory reference of the shining game industry of the 90's. This kind of games are missed a lot. Marketing and graphics have taken over good stories and gameplay.
The only frustrating part about it is looking for all 108 characters but its completely WORTH it for two reasons.
UT adds two new game concepts to the traditional menu: in Domination you and your team (the bots, by the way, are very responsive during team play, too) need to hold a number of designated control points as long as possible in order to win, and in Assault you actually have a number ofnaturally destructivemission objectives to fulfil (e.g. storm the facility, take out gizmo A to get to gizmo B and blow that up too), after which the tables turn and your team takes the defending side.
Each game follows a member of the Daventry family in one manner or another. As an added bonys, girls.. sometimes the hero is actually a heroine! As the series progress you can watch the Daventry family grow, have children, and suffer tradgedy through at least three generations.
Overall this is a GREAT game that will never ever get dull. (This review did... sheesh)
3712 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perhaps my favorite RPG of all time, Star Ocean 2 has everything ANY gamer could enjoy. With an amazingly innovative battle system, Star Ocean 2 plunges you into battle where you fight and cast magic in REAL TIME combat. Also, Star Ocean 2 has amazing customization where you can MAKE your own items and the BEST weapons in the game using the game's unique weapon/item creation system. With an amazingly unique soundtrack, Star Ocean 2 ranks in my soundtrack list as one of my top three! Also, Star ocean 2 has an amazing cast of characters, all of which, save two are optional. Finally, it has the HIGHEST replay value of any game EVER!!!... You are right off the bat asked which character you would prefer to play, the dashing space explorer, Claude Kenni, or the beautiful magic user Rena Lanford. By going through this game you will go through different towns, meet different people, and the feelings of the characters will change for each other, for better or worse, and in the end, characters will split up, or possibly even get together! With over 80 different endings, you'll find yourself playing from the end of Star Ocean 2 right into your next fun filled new game! Words cannot describe my appreciation for the quality of this game, it is simply breathtaking.
7419 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Because of game design! This is and isn't RPG, this is and isn't hack and slash, this is and isn't adventure game!
It does have its issues. The controls took some time to get used to. Not everyone cared for the fixed camera angles. And the voice acting is bad. So bad its laughable. Its definitely dated now. The blood looks fake, the rooms are brightly lit. And the hunters look almost comical, except their scream, that's still scary. Also the remake for the Gamecube way outshone it. Still though, fun and challenging and truly a classic in its own right.
And finally, the graphics. Well, many people have slammed the graphics, saying they haven't changed at all. Not true, especially if you own a good 3D card. While it's true the game runs in 640x480 / 256 colors, if you stop and think about it, could this game really work at higher resolutions? Many items are already tough to pick up, let alone see (though the ALT key makes that MUCH easier in DII), and at 1024x768, the game might be invisible. Plus, there are nifty spell effects for us 3D card owners, and once you get out of the first act, the game stops looking so much like Diablo I and starts really taking shape.
Disappearing polygons- This is a serious no no in games. Drive to the edge of any arena until the car "bounces" if you can get the proper slope of land (about a 45 degree angle.) and the camera swings low enough, parts of the ground will disappear and be replaced by a livid blue (or red depending on the generation of PSX console or some other factor).
5750 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was not the best of the series in FF, but it didn't fall on its face either. It kept me interested through the game and I have played it more than once. I just wouldn't list it as my favorite thus only 4 stars.
You see how simple this is? Well, wait until you have to commandeer a train just to get the vehicles. Or, try to figure out how to use a bomb-shooting motorcycle in order to free the cart-wheeling robot to help you clear the level faster. Yes, you read that right.
The graphics are pretty good; they bring the dark, gritty universe of StarCraft to life.
And there are so many ways to play within each game. You can micro-manage everything, telling your formers exactly what to do, telling every city exactly what to build, designing your own unit types. Or you can set formers, cities, and units to be completely automatic.
You can be in first place and magically all the computer controlled racers somehow manage to catch up to you anyway.
It was on the poor side.
Sherry get's infected with the G-Virus and Claire makes the only own cure for the virus...
The fun factor is pretty good, you can race your friends on which ever tracks you have completed, and you can verse them on most of the special tracks which you can get by winning certain stages. The special features include the "desert" where you just race to a fire and then race to the next fire, no multiplayer for this. "stunt course" is a course where you can challenge your friends or yourself in performing as many stunts to get as many points. "original excitebike" is a feature you get by completing the tutorial. Its just the super nintendo version of excitebike. "soccer" is a feature were you verse your friends in soccer on a bike. "hill climb" is were you verse your friends or yourself up a steep hill. "excite 3d" is a really good fun race course. The main fun factor in this game is the create a track mode. While there may be many features, this game doesn't have many great features. 4/5
This game is wonderful. You won't regret spending 30 or so bucks on it. Best to buy it now, as the values will likely only increase over time :)
The box proudly touts the fact that a "virtual Regis" hosts the game; and sure enough, he's there. But his involvement in the project was clearly limited; he doesn't read any of the questions, only providing the pre- and post-question patter. That's understandable, given the amount of money that Regis would have probably demanded for such a large recording job; but it does greatly diminish the illusion of being on the show.
It begins with a compelling hook -- Harry Mason is driving along a lonely road with his seven year-old daughter Cheryl, when he is driven from the road and crashes. When he regains conciousness, Cheryl is gone, and Harry is stuck in Silent Hill. The rest of the game becomes an increasingly desperate search for Harry's daughter, leading not only into the depths of the town and its many secrets, but also into his own past and into the depths of his sanity.
2737 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is one of the worst games of all time. I remember playing this as a kid and just kept sucking at it. When I was a kid, I didn't understand a game could be bad and simply thought I was doing something wrong and kept playing until I finally accepted this game is awful. The control in this game is really bad, especially during the ring stages. You'll just fly all over the place. The first instinct for such terrible control is to move slowly, but you have a time limit, so you don't have time to move slowly. When I got to a point where I could fight, it was like a maze and had no idea where to go. The ONLY reason anyone should buy this game is for game collecting only, and even then, they should save this when they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The best analogy for those who didn't grow up during that time would be like watching a black and white television from the 1950s or 1960s, and then within a mere ten years, you are now watching a Plasma TV capable of 3D technology. Or the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz", when Dorothy opens the door and everything goes from black and white to glorious colour. "Super Mario 64" was THAT much of a gamechanger.
Perfect over all score!!. once again if you thing you can beat the game with one hand attached at your back and with folded eyes, try getting beyond 100% and all the platinum relics, the real gamer and fans of the series did it!! look for it on you tube, so the difficulty is very acceptable!!. this is by far the best Crash Bandicoot game by far, since I personally thing that going trough naughty dog to travelers tales lost a bit of formula of this great franchise, but oh well see yas.
If you're new to real-time strategy it isn't the place to start. If you want to David vs. Goliath, this game is for you.
1850 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first video game I ever bought for my PSX and by far the more lasting fun. This game gives us the same fun we used to get back in the good old days with "Mario Bros.",only way better. It takes us to different and colorful worlds that will keep us playing for hours and hours. The sound as well as the graphics are all pretty well made. It gets harder each time as your exitement gets higher. This game is a perfect example of what PSX is all about. This game brought something different to the genre we know as "Adventure".You'll get famirilized with each level because you'll have to develop your techniques and skills if you want to survive. If you want to experience pure fun just buy Crash and all its sequels(I recommend 2,3 and Team Racing)and have fun playing as you never did!
3977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought my dreamcast used. When I got it i got some games for it and a visual memory unit and the Mega Memory Card. This memory card defenitely does what it's supposed to!
It's got good length to the story, a good difficulty, and a reason to play on, as well as to play again.
7089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 DOOM!!!
The fatalities were extremely brutal and some of the best the series has seen and looked even better in 3D. This leads to a new level of detail and creativity that can't be done in 2D. This was also the slow departure from other "-alities" and the series stuck with just Fatalities. A new boss was introduced as Shinnok and Goro returned as the mini-boss. The game carries over a lot of elements that make it still feel classic, but then injects some new stuff as well. I really felt the game was well balanced and was exactly what the first MK in 3D should be. Overall MK4 is a classic and did an amazing job of transferring over into 3D which was very difficult. This of course paved a path for all future MK games, but we can always look back on MK4 as the child.
6038 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best platformers for the N64. Ubi Soft created a game with realtime physics applied to all objects in the game. The puzzles are excellent, and I had fun with the game for hours on end. The game was extremely challenging, certainly not laid out on a silver platter. I just wish there was more. I hope to see Rocket return on the Gamecube.
Yes, this game succeeds in numerous aspects. Let's take a look at them-
3035 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I can't believe how many gamers are hailing this game as the best final fantasy ever... i mean i know everyone has a different opinion and all but i mean come on, hasn't any of you played final fantasy 6? that game pretty much did everything this game did, only so much better. where do i begin?
4057 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 What can I say about this game? It was name PC Gamer's game of the year! The game is simply great! At first glance, it seems like your typical first person shooter, but once you start getting into the game, everything changes. It turns into a complete horror game. It's one of those games that if you play at night, will make you want to turn all the lights in the house on. The game gives you huge suprises, like little alien creatures jumping out at you from no where. Or dark corridors with things waiting to kill you on the other side. This game is great, and is perfect for anyones collection!
Moving off of that, the game is alright. You have alot of ammo on easy, although I fear I will run out alot of the time, I usually find a pack or 2 to keep me going. The zombies themselves can take quite alot, like 5 hits to kill them. However once you get the pistol modification for Leon, they become a whole lot easier. The story is nice. 2 people trying to escape a city full of undead living thingy creatures and such. Theres alot of other characters though, you aren't the last 2 humans alive in the city. The game even though was known to have a sequel considering tremendous profits, finishes great. It starts randomly, but then ends where it should. It succeeds in making a good game. Good story, some action, you get to kill some of those evil zombies, and good package.
Instead of barbarians though, you're fighting worm-like lifeforms with "psionic" attack abilities that can bypass your normal defenses. In time you can learn to defend better against them and even harness these capabilities yourself, which makes an intriguing extra layer to the combat here. These worms also figure into somewhat of an overarching storyline as well, as told through various dream sequences your faction leader has throughout.
To tell you the truth, I almost traded this game in right after I purchased it. Why? The arcade mode was unforgiving, and really just repeats itself after the first time. I thought I had been cheated. And then I tried the 10 year championship mode.
You want a game that has great replay value and that you'll enjoy from begining to end? This is it, the last stop.
Resident Evil 2
6131 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is argubaly the worst system EVER. The music is horrible sounding comparing to the beauty of the playstation. There are no good RPG games for this system. The graphics in most games are nowhere near they could be and overall a pathetic system. The best game it had was Goldeneye 007 and in my mind that is the ONLY good game besides Perfect Dark to appear on the entire system during its 4 years on the American Market.
3736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Adventure was my first Dreamcast game, and to this day it's still in my top-ten of all time favorite games ( on any system ) ever! Two weeks before I picked up Sonic Adventure I saw the demo in a video game store and was " BLOWN AWAY " by what I saw. My all time favorite hedge-hog moving so fast that my eyes could hardly keep up with him, and the graphics of 128 bit bliss was awesome indeed! After I brought it home a few weeks later, I was again blown away by the free roaming 3d game-play of this awesome game. Sonic Adventure was ( and is ) so big and so grand, that I find it hard to write just a paragraph on the game, but here it goes. The game takes place on Angel Island, ( a floating island ) and it is somehow connected to a city. You have six players in this awesome game. There's: Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Amy Rose, ( Sonic's love interest ) Knuckles the Echidna, Big the Cat, and E-102 Gamma. ( one of Eggman's robots ) You must stop Eggman from feeding the seven Chaos Emeralds to the evil monster Chaos, also known as " The God of Destruction. " The game moves so fast at times it makes one dizzy. ( and try not to barf! ) Besides the " Adventure Mode ", you have the " Action Stages ", and the cute lil' Chao's to take care of in the Chao gardens. It's kind of a virtual pet that you can interact with, and you can even download mini games onto the VMU memory card, then take the VMU out of the controller and play the game separately on it. ( cool ) You have many mini games, action stages, power-ups, worlds, and objectives to play in this wonder of a game. It's part Action, RPG, fishing, exploratory, puzzle, racing, shoot-em-up, and fighting game all rolled into one big adventure. ( whew ) If there ever was a game that gave the player 'his or her' money's worth, this game does it well! If there was any complaint I might have, it's that I hate the fishing levels with Big the Cat. ( it's hard as hell to me ) Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast is one of the best games ever made for this great system. Even NiGHTS into Dreams makes a cameo appearance in the game. ( it's very cool ) So if you're into Sonic, and have a Dreamcast, this game must be in your collection for it to be complete. Yuji Naka and the Sonic team did it again in spades!!! " Happy Gaming! "
8917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very enjoyable game. If your into the Metroid series this is a must have for your collection..My son highly recommends it..
It's not like I walk down the street during lunch break and encounter random crates on the sidewalk.
The game controls are the same as Resident Evil, although it is clunky it actully feels like needed, unlike in Resident Evil, your a god damn cop in Resident Evil, in Silent Hill your just an average joe. There is alot of stuff I'm missing out, I might add the other stuff review. Silen Hill one for the Ps1/Ps3 viva PsN gets a 100 outa 5. This Zombiedude sighing off.
9214 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's basically the classic DK game. It's pretty easy and fairly fun. I enjoyed it. There's not much more to say about this game.
There is a very cool gold and lightning backround surrounding the red sign that will say "You are the champion" if you win the game. Not to mention the credits will give you a free replay of your victories against your opponents & how you defeated them
And more I think....
7247 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is definatly 1 of the BEST games for the N64 i don't think i can think of any other one's as good as it make sure u have the expansion pak to get the most out of the game otherwise u can only play the multi-player ive had the game for over a year now and i still love it! and check with ur parents if its ok to get it if ur under ages 17 here are just a few reasons why i still love it the graphics control sound are all great and belive me u won't get bored of this anytime soon (unless u get Perfect Dark 2 that they say is gonna come out for the gamecube) if u like 1st person shooters this is the game for you!
1197 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Runs perfectly! Great condition.
Overall : 5/5
3248 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of the best fighting games that i have ever played (other than killer instinct), and i have to congratulate sega on it. The graphics are amazing there are plenty of characters to choose from, the levels are all varied and the two player mode has kept my friends and I busy for months.
Team Dark: this team has Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, and Omega (who is an ex-eggman robot). The mercenaries of this team are shrouded in mystery. First off, I must comment that it's like a soap opera for children, that they brought Shadow back from his presumed death, and with amnesia included. This team has hard difficulty, and often makes you go farther in the levels than you would normally have to with other teams. This group would be extremely boring if it wasn't for Rouge. Shadow and Omega take things very seriously, which makes Rouges role the person who lightens things up. It's an interesting contrast of personalities.
There are 13 stages in total (the Robotnik level is a hidden final stage) and with each progression the falling beans get slightly faster with greater variation between them. It was certainly luck and not skill that took me to the final stage and end credits, but what a relief when it was finally over!
1511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent condition & one of the best games I've ever had the chance to play for the PS1. Still only about half way through, but enjoying every moment.
You will not have any issues installing this or running this game on most systems with a gtx460 or better. You can max out all setting with one evga gtx560ti 2gb video card. The install dose take some time to get done and it will update for you when you run the sim the first time. This all takes 30min or so counting the install of the game.
4. There are mini-games you can go back to after beating the game.
Now if I could just figure out how to configure the level editor, WorldCraft 2.0, I think I would enjoy trying my hand at level design. I've never messed with level editors before, but WorldCraft looks and sounds like it's fairly intuitive (if I was a techie, I would have already figured it out).
3. It has MAJOR replay value.
...But of course it won't ;)
3981 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Sim ThemePark was not what I saw coming. Right when I got it, I popped it into the CD-Rom on the computer. I was so excited! But then, the downside comes along. The installation takes forever. I had to try again to make it work. Then, it takes forever just to get into the game. And when I finally got into the game, the colors were all screwed up. Okay, so I messed with some hardware on the computer, but even after my mom fixed it, they still wouldn't work right!! And whenever I go into the game, it gets stuck right after I click "quit". So I have to restart the computer completely. Since the day I first got this, this game has not seen the CD-Rom. At all. I am looking into Roller Coaster Tycoon, and am hoping that it will work much better than this. Thank you for reading my review!
You're up against 3 other hospitals, and if you cure the right amount of patients you get to go onto the next level.
The sound is good.
The level's are cooler and better than the other old mario games that I playden in a long time.
Almost every battle requires thought - not that you are always in real danger, but if you don't stick to your strategies (and you will develop many) you will be in serious trouble. The balancing is extraordinary. You can actually sense that every battle (even the toughest) is winnable, but that you need to position players a certain way, or equip them a certain way, or use the right spell - and you'll get there - it's all completely logical and flawless. What's more, you are confident that there are many different ways to get through each battle, each entertaining in it's own right. In BG, the game lets you play - the system is unerringly consistent and the keys to winning the big battles all make sense when they click in your mind. The interface and balancing never let you down.
--The story is a little confusing because there's a lot of time-travel talk about people going to the future to stop a sorceress who goes into the past, possesses another person from the characters' present, and... yeah. But it's good. Also it's a good love story if you ask me--it's right up there with the stories of FF9 and FF10.
i forget what my first game was but i know i owned crazy taxi and hydrothunder at one point. loved both of those games. very fun. liked hydro thunder the most because of the way the boats "transformed" when you went over a power up. the graphics were amazing at that time and the games where very good.
In conclusion, Q3 is by FAR my favorite game. With great deathmatch and CTF (it could have been better, but hey, it's still fun) and the MOD community hard at work to essentially add to the game, I give this game 5 stars. I do believe Q3 is geared towards avid fans. If you are a beginner, check out Unreal tournament. That too, is a great game. But for me, I will always be a Quake aficionado. To finish the line in the subject area: 5 Stars for me, for others.......... 1 star. END
==================================================================
Your main enemy, the enemy most commonly seen in the game, is the Genome soldier. The Genome soldier is a member of a genetically engineered army. If you stay out of sight, you'll never have to have a physical encounter with one of these guys.
You select from 3 cups (Or in this case, Leagues), each with five futuristic courses.
I can't wait to revisit this on the Nintendo 3ds version. It's a complete remaster from what Ive seen.
6519 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One star off for load times
IF YOU CAN FIND IT GO OUT AND BUY THIS AWESOME GAME!!
2419 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Plays perfect and looks brand new.
The main game is a 2D side-scroller in which you must go and eat as much fruit as possible. If you eat enough fruit, you move on to the next level. There are only 6 levels, though, so that said, you can beat the game in under an hour. That doesn't necessarily mean the whole game is bad, though. After all, the gameplay is very intriguing.
Using the shadows you, playing the Master Theif Gareet will win the day. The only thing I didn't like about the game was that you spent more time fighting animals and zombies that actual people.
It's kind of hard to describe what the fighting style for this game is like except... that it's Evil Zone!
4210 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The only complaint that I have about this game is that it's too addicting. I couldn't stop until I had completed all of the scenarios and beaten the whole game, but then the Expansion Pak (Loopy Landscapes) came along... I'll guarantee that if you like other Sim games that you'll like this one. It's very hard to get tired of-- you can make your own Roller Coasters (with as man loop-dee-loops as you want), add Cotton Candy stalls, Merry-Go-Rounds, Water Slides, hire Staff, and do virtually anything you want. It's fun to watch the Sim people come into your park and go from ride to ride, spending all their money along the way. If you end up liking this game as much as I do you'll probably want to get the Loopy Landscapes Expansion pack as well. This game is almost flawless, Two Thumbs Up!
But, I can't let that ruin the game. It is a very intelligent game, and certainly not one for kids in terms of understanding and content. The dialogue and intrigue are very intense and do make you part of the game and your character, much more than almost any game I've played before. That is not an easy feat for a PC game.
Bottom Line: A Must-Have for any Trekker, or anyone who enjoys FMV adventures.
2. The game environment is very rich. There are locations that aren't significant to game play, but are still fun to go back and explore and add to the overall experience. You can wander off and engage in conversations that you missed out on the first time you played the game, and each detail adds to the richness of the storyline.
10 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I've bought and played ALL of the ANNO games since 1602, and spent more hours than I can even count building massive empires with extremely complex trade routes. I was thrilled to see another installment released, but I absolutely will NOT pay for something that limits my hardware changes and installs.
3772 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I reviewed this game a year ago. I gave it four stars then. I reviewed it again today. That rating is now at 5 stars.
The Paladin is the definitive choice for those that want to lead a party. With a tree of deadly attack skills, and 2 trees of 'auras' which enable the paladin to enchant himself and other party members with defensive or offensive abilities, he is a force to be reckoned with. A great choice for those who favored the warrior in the first Diablo but wanted magical skills as well.
9. The system for flattening oneself against a wall is not ready for prime time: most of the time you find yourself flattened against the wall and you didn't mean to do this. This will get you killed several times as you are thus basically standing still, allowing your enemies to shoot you. It should have been running up to a wall in combination with pressing L1 or something.
9347 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you even think of buying something else forget it. Max Payne is the best game of 2001. A plot that will keep you drawn in close from start to finish. A game that you will sit down and play and lose track of time. A fantastic game which captures the slo-motion of the "Matrix" in a bullet-time mode. If you like games like Halflife, Hitman Codename 47, or Rainbow six you will love this. The best Action game ever invented!
4464 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Expanding on the original "STARCRAFT" (great game), brood wars adds new units, abilities, campains, and types of levels(i.e. desert, snow)If u liked the original, BUY THIS GAME, IT IS SO WORTH IT!!!!
8235 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is crazy weird. The game play is different but it is something you need in your collection. The red game makes it look cool too.
I realize having your airplane fly up when you hit "down" on the d-pad is an example of realism since that's more or less how REAL airplanes operate, but the thing is, Crash Bandicoot isn't supposed to be about realism since it's just a platform adventure game, and furthermore, it still doesn't change the fact that up and down are reversed. This adds unncessary frustration and challenge in learning something that definitely feels backwards.
The multi player mode is also disappointing as the small vehicles get lost among the colourful stages. The game is just not fun! The graphics and the sounds are great but the game is just lacking in the fun department.
6399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love this game
The main menu and the user interface for controlling your force looks extremely tacked-on in a last-minute fashion, and should have been done much better. The interface makes controlling units a chore. This is a common deficiency in recent LucasArts games, though. The 3D perspective takes time to master, and until you do master it, you'll lose alot. This combined with the interface reduces you to alot of micromanagement, which can get problematic.
The final score? Go look at the stars.
2442 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I look forward to playing. All the saves work great no trouble at all. The sticker was torn, but I just took it off and printed out a new one.
The computer players also cheat, when you are in first place they "magically" always catch up to you.
Do yourself a favor and check it out if you are looking for a good, solid and challenging platformer.
This edition also comes with "Mysteries of the Sith" - a companion disk that uses a slightly altered game engine and was originally released separately, but otherwise required JK be installed. In MotS, you play Katarn for the first several missions, then assume the role of Mara Jade, a former imperial agent brought to the light (her character was introduced in the novels of Timothy Zahn). The tight plotting of the first game is gone - replaced by looser story arcs (as Kyle, you must save a rebel base from an imperial ground assault, then destroy an orbiting asteroid the imperials are using to stage their attack; as Mara, you will infiltrate the palace of Kapa the Hutt and then, in a switch, go to work for him; you will also track down and try to retrieve a jedi holocron and save a rebel corvette from marauding pirates; eventually you will follow Kyle back to a mysterious planet of the Sith where it's dark and swampy, the locals are hostile and hungry, and your weapons don't work). If uneven, MotS has its share of thrills and challenges. AI is noticeably improved (with stormtroopers ready to go fisticuffs when their blasters are force-grabbed) and gameplay is much more challenging on the whole. Should you tire of the levels provided, an entire on-line community has crafted single and multi-player levels for both games.
6964 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great product!
It's a third person action/adventure game, that requires you to utilize stealth to survive. As Solid Snake, a lone warrior, you have to single-handedly infiltrate Shadow Moses Island, a base recently taken over by terrorists to develop a nuclear capable walking robot, codenamed Metal Gear Rex. Your job is to make sure Rex never launches by any means necessary.

The CONS: Well, the only real issue this game has is the camera. When you're walking straight down the path, the camera shows you everything. But every time you jump on a platform/edge or try to find out which direction your enemies are firing at, it gets wonky and you'll have to center it often. The same goes for the flying/sliding sections as it will face you to an angle where you can't see where you are going. To give you a better idea, the camera in Super Mario 64 wasn't as problematic. It's not a major flaw but be warned that you will have to pay attention to how it works. Also, it's a challenging game because some levels are harder than others so prepare to be stuck in some areas and pace yourself. It's a one player game and once you unlock the bonus levels and achieve the 100% complete rating, there is nothing else to do.
3623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my most favorite Tekken games of all and one of the most popular video games of PlayStation 1...unforgettable.
5183 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I am going to make this short but true. First off this game is HARD or at least what I played. this game is no Shoot them all like Quake 2 or anything. I found this game Repugent. I don't even want to try it again. I don't care if you have 1000 weapons, if you can't beat the first stage with Ease, then forget about the rest. The Graphics in this game are Dated back to the DOOM age. This 5 year opus did not pan out like I wanted. I really thought John Romero actually had some skill but it seems not. The game might have good points but the save system (save only if you have a crystal?) is an abomination. This is a horrible idea which is seen way too much in Console System games, but never should have made it to the PC. I admit Ion Storm Made has made a killer game (Deus Ex) but this one is just a pile of turds. Bargin Bin Box. I also just want to close with this. We can now see the real genius behind Doom, and Doom 2, was John Carmack, not John Romero. Sorry about being rude and mean, but this game is really horrible, and I just want to be honest.
I'm more of a new generation wrestling video game fan and a beat em up fan, so don't take my opinion too much into consideration, try looking at the other reviews first, and look at them as a whole. >Sort of biased<
4013 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game itself has a very neat idea. The game is mainly for team play. And if you're like me this is the kind of game you have been waiting for where you get together with a team and have large bases with turrets and different types of weapons and armor that add to the action.
1325 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another great quake port for the 64. More enjoyable than the first!
2322 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have heard many negative things about this game, but I had to try it for myself. I got hooked on it the minute I started playing. The story may be a little sketchy, but it is the gameplay that matters the most right? You still get the same high good-looking jumps and loop-de-loops,but the actual fighting is one of the best parts. You get excellent combo moves and on Team Dark and Sonic a nicely well-done finisher attack. All four teams have a finisher attack,but half of them are stupid. What really caught my eye is the two player battle mode. There is something about knocking a team off a cliff is entertaining to me. I also agreed with some of the other people. Team Rose is corny,and falling off a cliff is way too easy,but over all,this is one of the best and most original games I have ever played.
879 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Getting this game would be a waste of time and money. For halfthe price of this I'd rather get a game that offers better graphics,better realism, and better everything. If you haven't already guessed it's Red Alert. Even though it looks pretty good, after about a week you won't want to play it anymore. With Red Alert I continually go back to try just one more strategy... I think they just sat down and set a deadline for this game and the guys making it waited until the last week to do it. Right now all you need to do is type in the search box up there "Red Alert" and buy that game... You will have a way better game and not spend as much.
-Nice length(50-60hrs)
Have fun in the game I did and I love it, you will love it too.
3389 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Picture showed console and hookups, all I got was the console
3861 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For the most part it works great.
7780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the things that sucks about Wii's Virtual Console library is the fact that it does not have this game. Conker and Banjo both belong to Rare (which, in turn, belongs to Microsoft), and thus Nintendo is unable to bring us the Diddy Kong Racing in all of its 64-bit glory. I played this game with friends when I was a youngster, for nostalgia's sake, I picked it up again about a year ago. I'm happy to report that the game is not only still fun, but that it holds up remarkably well even today.
3850 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great. The sound is terrific, the graphics are good, and the interface is very easy to use. The best thing about it is the creepy feeling you get when you play it. Try it with the lights out, late at night, when no one is home. One minor problem that novice players should note. This game can be very hard. If you are used to Quake-type games, be prepared to change your style of play. The guns in this game degrade and break VERY quickly, and there isn't that much ammo to go around anyway. You should find other ways to get around this problem. It is more realistic in a sense, because who in the hell is going to want to take on all of these zombies and killer robots anyway? Part of the fun is avoiding and getting away from these nasty monsters. Other than the difficulty factor, this game is near perfect.
The story follows that Mario has lost his castle to Wario (no saving Princess Daisy in this one) and he can only get back into his castel using the six golden coins so he must set out to find them in one of the six different "Zones." What's nice about this is that you aren't forced to take the zones in any specific order at all! What's not to like about that. However, if you get a game over you have to find all six coins again.
1257 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 :)
Overall, I am very happy with this set. For Zelda fans, it is a must buy especially if you don't own many or any of these guides already. Thanks for reading!
805 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In the year 1997, Goldeneye was released for the Nintendo 64 by Rare, an unknown company and new 2nd party developer. Rare had already made several games for the NES and enters the Nintendo 64 market with this release based on the classic James Bond movie of the same title. You can ask anyone who had a Nintendo 64 if they ever played this game and why it was so popular. You're guaranteed to hear 2 reasons in particular why this game is so revered.
2684 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Take it from someone who wastes his life on Super Smash 64, this controller has the firmest joystick I have ever felt. Highly recommended!
881 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This pretty good, it has a good story, great in-game movies and adequate gameplay. However most of the marketing for this game has centered around it being a sequel to Red Alert. This is simply not true. The two games have almost nothing in common and Red Alert is a far better game. In saying this I mean that Tiberian Sun takes a huge step BACKWARDS in terms of gameplay from Red Alert. Gone are the ships and air planes to be replaced by boring helicopters and cheap "hover units".

Graphics: 7
Good graphics and sound. You need to plan ahead.
To sum it up, this game is fun and scary simultaneously and manages to induce panic upon its players. It IS my favorite survival-horror game (even better than Resident Evil), and I wouldn't hesistate to buy everyone in the series just because I'm a big fanatic of it. I recommend this game to anyone who loves Resident Evil or any other survival-horror genre style game. But be warned...its not easy the first time around on the human mind.
8815 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GRANDSON HAPPY WITH IT SO I ASSUME EVERYTHING WAS OK
disappoint. The gameplay, music, story, and art that is contained within this gem
When you turn on the game and arrive at the title screen, you may think the background bird sounds are cool. But go to the player select screen and from there it's all downhill. The sound and music quality is more like that of a Sega Genesis game. Then there are weird scratching noises at times, and a horrible "continue screen" music that will make you drop the controller and run for an asprin! The graphics are slightly easier to handle. The seven monsters are reasonable, especially the t-rex duo Sauron and Diablo. Sometimes however you may find yourself trying to identify which is the head and tail in the middle of the action. The backgroung visuals are also decent. But the fatalities...are terrible. They are nowhere near the quality of Mortal Kombat. It's hard to actually figure out what they are doing in some.
860 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the finest Video games ever produced, while its graphics may be some what dated by today's standards its epic story and play control are arguably better than many of today's titles.
...The memory expansion for N64 is relatively cheap now that the console itself is two generations removed behind Gamecube and Wii. And if your still into retro gaming or just enjoy playing the Nintendo 64 even after all these years I would certainly recommend this buy. Even if you never play the games which require the upgrade, I would consider this because of it's ability to enhance visual clarity. Couple the memory expansion up with a Video-S cable, and you will still find an appeal to the outdated graphics of a system of yore.
This game has provided me and my wife with a great deal of fun. It is a nice break and is a GREAT game for traveling. The sounds are excellent, the music is not terribly annoying, and the 5 different types of play keep things fresh, so you don't get burnt out too soon.
There has been complaints about glitches in this game, but I loved the glitches. I thought they where cool to hear odd sounds, weird effects, doing monovours without your oponent actualy being in it! Dont let the fact that 2 wrestlers wernt included, this game was super fun if you gave it a go.
2264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For any post Zelda: OoT N64 hit this device is a must have.
I could go on and on about the game, but I highly recommend you at least download the demo and give it a chance. I am comfortable saying if you give it a fair chance to win you over, your time will not be a waste.
116 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loving it so far. Works really well. :) Also has a nice grip to it.
Fun Factor:5,000,000/5
2995 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I found the only challenge to be the weapons and the final showdown with sephiroth. This was a great game but way to easy to play because i played Phantasy Star prior to this. On the other hand it had a slew of extra missions and hidden items and stuff to play for. Find the ribbons and sephiroth will be a lot easier to fight. I found two. The graphics were terrible, lets not lie ok... and to add insult to injury there was never a remake. In a way it makes me hate the game a bit more than i already do, even though it was a game i spent most my time with....
Well, the gameplay isn't Zelda either. The camera and controls just lack the precision of not only Ocarina of Time but also Super Mario 64! In one dungeon I found myself having to repeat a section several agonizing times because the camera angle was so off! Ah well. Outside of dungeons, the controls work pretty well. Meh. What else can I say? The humor found in the game is pretty nice. There's a laugh track. There's an elephant narrator that rarely appears. There are dogs smarter than humans. There's Yae, who is pretty good-looking despite being 1st-generation pixels. Add that to the Japanese feel of the game, and you get something that is pretty surreal. The songs get stuck in your head too. So, what is my final judgment? Um...it's a good game, but it lacks polish.
The game overall has a shortage of rupees. They're really not that important which is odd. This is the first Zelda game I've ever played where rupees feel more like an afterthought. Not something to take real seriously. If you don't feel like collecting them, then don't- no harm done. The bosses are alright except for the irritating one in the water dungeon. You have to repeatedly hookshot him while standing next to the platform. It takes FOREVER (and no, this boss is *nowhere* as fun as the water dungeon in Link to the Past in case you're wondering). The hookshot is used MORE than the sword throughout the game because it serves as an effective weapon quite often. The hookshot is a highly recommended weapon to use in a variety of situations, but especially important when collecting these things called gold skulltulas. After you collect 10 gold skulltula tokens, you get a beneficial reward. You can only collect them after defeating the gold skulltula enemy (usually found on walls). I admit I love the witches you face in the Spirit Temple. While the temple itself is really short and boring, it's probably worth going through it so you can face the two witches that make for a rather entertaining boss fight. You have to use your shield to reflect shots at the *other* witch, and it's really fun and creative. The hookshot's basically a required item to properly deal with hard-shelled or spiked enemies in the dungeons and it's annoying that it's used WAY more frequently than the sword throughout the game. Due to how much precision is required to use the hookshot, using this item becomes a very tedious chore after a while (especially if you keep missing your target) and it slows down the pace of the game by a lot.
2316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 first off this game is soo not boring it is really fun, second off THERE ARE NO GLICTHES I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS GAME EVER AND THE CAMERA DOES KEEP UP WITH YOU!!!!and third off this game is not hard repeat that sentance ten times i beat it in half a week and got all the bonous stuff and keys and everything i beat it with team sonic team rose team choatix and with team dark witch means it is on hard P.S. the one reviewer who said this game gave his kid nightmares ,HOW THE HECK CAN YOU GET NIHGTMARES FROM A SONIC GAME AND HOW CAN YOU GET SO MAD YOU START TO CRY THAT REALLY PUZZLES ME THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT TO,OVERALL THIS GAME IS VERRY GOOD
So, why didn't I give this game Five stars? Read below and find out.
Now in the Expansion "Brood War", the overmind is dead and Kerrigan(an infested terran) has become ruler over most of the Zerg.
8741 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like when GTA IV changed the game, that's what Donkey Kong did in its era. Great game, great levels and feel good moments. Totally must have in your collection.
A legend that spawned a thousand imitators, some good, most...not so good.
290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This item is just great. it has 128m storage. You don't have to worry about memory storage for ps2 anymore. you can play hundreds of games without deleting saving file.
4304 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spectacular! This is easily one of the best games I have ever played! The graphics are wonderful, and the ease of scrolling and views you can take are second to none! Some RTS games such as Far Gate, Star Trek Space Armada and Empire Earth slow up to be impossible to play when you have a lot of units in play, but with Homeworld this is not a problem. Game creaters could learn a lot from this!
Get the game!!!
3873 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just recently bought a GameShark Pro Version 3.3 from Eva's Movies & Games in Burbank, CA.
8982 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in 1997, almost all gamers were talking about the debut of Squaresoft's Final Fantasy VII for the PSX. I, never having played an RPG before that point, played a demo of the FFVII at my cousins house (that was packaged with Square's Tobal No. 1 - little known fighting game). That christmas I asked Santa for a Playstation and a copy of FFVII. Sanata delievered and I enjoyed and occupied myself for many hours that christmas...
2565 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just like the original Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo. It is super. It is a lot of fun. If you love the Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo and you have a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance I suggest buying this game. It is a truly great game.
I love the old games sometimes better than the newer games. It is fun to see this old game again.
This is an amazing work of art. The fact that it gets the recognition it deserves years later is a testament to it's utter brilliance. It has an amazing storyline, and some of the most beautiful dialogue I've witnessed, amazing characters, and much more. Be careful. It may just change you in various ways. It's a terrific work, and will stay with you forever. Get it now!
The graphics for the Dreamcast are great....Very smooth especially Afro Thunder and Buther brown...My two favorite Boxers in the game
Music is just ghastly.
2568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, even I bought a second one for my wife.
6004 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Besides having all the system requirements necessary and still not being able to run the game, my biggest problem with it is not being able to save the game state. This completely ruins it for me--and probably for anyone else interested in the single-player aspect. It is truly awful to have to go back somewhere to get items that were perhaps left behind, only to have to fight everything that you already killed once all over again. Sadly, this ruins the game and storyline for me. I know other folks who aren't bothered by this at all, however. For me, though, it's just a terrible way to have released the game. I honestly think that they should've kept that save feature in the game, even if it meant releasing the game later.
7659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game arrived quickly and as described. I am happy with this purchase. Thank you
9838 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is an excellent iteration of the Kid Icarus series, perfectly capturing the gameplay of the original Kid Icarus for the Nintendo Entertainment System, with some welcome tweaks to gameplay that make it an even more excellent title. It is a little easier than the original, because of intelligent features like being able to move backward and forward in a level. In the climbing levels it is nice to not die just because the screen moved above a platform. I was really enjoying this game full of hearty joy, but then when I got to the fourth level my save game was lost. That is what you'll want to check for as a buyer. The save game feature worked great for me for quite a while, probably a week of consistent gaming. Then I must have done something wrong when I was saving, because when I turned the game on, it wouldn't allow me to access the continue option. Unfortunately, prior to listing this review I haven't gotten to the bottom of this problem, but I just want to offer this advice. Play this game as soon as you get it. If there is a saved game, good, that is a good sign, but then you should also play this game until you can save it at the end of the first level. Save, then shut it down, turn it back on, and then see if your game is saved. If so congratulations, you have purchased a good copy. If not, then the seller has sold you a flawed copy, unless they specifically stated that the save feature doesn't work, then you'll want to see if the seller will issue a refund. This should require you to mail the game to the seller who will issue the refund when they get the game. If they let you keep it, you are lucky, but what have you gotten, besides a game that you cannot shut off if you want to get to the end of the game...
648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Only the best Videogame of all time for nearly almost 20 years in a row, on one of my most favorite console ever too
In this adventure, Link awakens on a beach in a world he's never been before. The story doesn't quite go along with the previous three Zelda games. You aren't in Hyrule, Gannon is not the enemy, and Zelda is not even in the game. But the game play is classic Zelda, and there's almost no better thing to do in a video game than play as Link fighting enemies to save the day.
Lates
All the power ups like the Ring monitor, Invincibility monitor, Shield monitor, and Extra Life monitor are in this game.
3679 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great! The handling is cool and so is the combat and magic combat. I, personally, would reccomend this game for Legend lovers , ya' know, magic. The buttons are great and so are the graphics.
4932 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The civilization 2 gold does what most other gold eiditions do. Takes the game and makes a few changes and this one gives to a nice instrution booklet. In civilization you start with simple settlers and build a city. You must build units to protect those cities and city advangements to keep your people happy. Later in the game you meet other civilizations and can either become allies and trade technologies or enimies and try and take over your oppents teritory and cities. This is a game that I would recommend for everybody.
8566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product
Besides this one move, the game is average overall, not great, not bad. But this one thing made it better than average for me, worth a look in my opinion.
The not so good:
Recommended.
6518 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's wonderful being able to revisit some of my favorite JRPGs from the 16-bit generation!
So,this is still a great game just in Japanese. This game will make a fine collectable item too. A must have for any pokemon fan. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL:)!!!!

oh - i'm getting sidetracked. let's not digress.
2986 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All in all, it is impossible to not recommend Final Fanatsy VII to anyone who is even vaguely interested in RPGs.
I read one review that said the game looked cool and all, but there was know strategy. Strategy??? You mean there is another strategy besides shooting everything in site? This game definitley had strategy to it. One example was if you just went into a room with guns blazing against 3 or 4 guys, you either suffered significant damage or died (which is what happens most of the time). You have to decide what weapon to use, how you want to go in the room, and which guy to take out first becasue some of the bad guys had weapons that do serious damage. Usually when entering a room where I knew bad guys were, I used the "Dodge and Shoot" alot. With the click of button when you are moving, everything slows down and give you the advantage while you are airborn. Very cool to use abd saves you alot of damage. Then there is the "bullet Time" method which lasts about 5 to 8 seconds (as long as your meter is full). As soon as you press the button, you move in slow motion and it give you the advantage of targeting them and avoiding their fired shots. It's very cool seeing buckshot fly past you in slow notion. A definte advantage you need on certain levels, otherwise you spend alot of time reloading because you will be dead. Another cool feature is if you shoot someone in the head or in a certain area (say, near a ledge) and you see the guy go flying in slow motion. Very cool. Also, some of the levels you had to figure out how to get to the next area and it takes a little thinking, but the way is always in front of you. There was also a level where you had to get Max through his dream and that was pretty cool.
Also, the commentators, Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect, have a LOT more things to say in In Your House compared to Vince and Jerry Lawler in Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. Also worth mentioning: each wrestler has their own special thing to say at the beginning and end of a match. Okay, so they don't say things ALL the time, but many times they do.
That said, This is a wonderful game. it's the game that first got me to actually PLAY rpgs, as opposed to just watching my friend play them. It's a Square RPG, too, so it's not like Nintendo just paid some two-bit developer to hack out a crappy Mario tie-in (unlike most of their older Mario tie-ins), They went with the best of the best, and it shows. Beautifully 3-D rendered (for the SNES, I mean) and a joy to play. Definately worth buying if you are morally opposed to emulation.
Sound: The sound of the game is really good, from the talented voice actors, many of witch are known cartoon voice actors or even regular actors, to the mood creating music and sound effects.

1339 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 mario was always kind if a hard game for me. i unlocked a lot of stars but a lot of the game went unlocked. i never did beat the whole thing. there are some cheats you can look up online for this game.
Unlike the jerky, scary "BOO!" moments that Resident Evil plays on, Silent Hill's spookiness GROWS on you with it's creepy environments. The music, sound effects, and graphics are just icky enough to grow on you... Not to shock you. The shocking part comes when you start enountering things that try to kill you. Instead of blasting zombies, you are literally escaping a sort of madness that is trying to envelope the ground you walk on.
This system is very worth it. .......the dreamcast will be remembered by the true fans, tons of great titles and you won't get bored.
Secondly, the cast is shallow and characterless. The main character is grumpy and unsociable, and this reviewer could not relate to him as a player should be able to. Also, none of the other cast are very memorable, like the characters of the other Final Fantasy games.
I'm also not a huge fan of the controller. While it has an odd design, it is fairly comfortable, and the joystick is very precise.
3157 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I doubt that there will ever be an equal to this epic game, Final Fantasy VII. It's the reason I became the gamer I am today!
However, playing the game today for the first time in months, I don't know what happened. When I hit the triangle button to put myself in first-person mode, and looked across the hallway to see if a guard happened to be standing there (or walking towards me) I got caught up in the excitement and the quiet atmosphere of trying to find a way around him. It was addicting. I finally figured out how to break their necks and that was a lot of fun, too. The boss fights are actually the very best thing about Metal Gear Solid. Every single one of them is fun, not to mention they all require you to figure out the best way to defeat them using your rather large selection of guns and figuring out which gun is the correct one. I love fighting that ninja without using weapons and hearing him speak between the action segments. Hearing enemies talk while you're fighting them makes you want to kick their butts even MORE!
1317 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the game that made 3D. Before, the goal was moving to the right in platformers. Super Mario 64 is the first 3D platformer, and after 19 years, still plays fantastically. Anyone with an N64 needs to own this game. It's the best selling N64 game for a reason.
8230 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 love this game
Graphics: A
Well basically you run from a killer with a giant pair of scissors which is scary thinking about it. EEK!! gives me the creeps... LOL anyway, the game is really scary especially since scissorman can jump out at any time and attack you. You either run away or hide somewhere to stop yourself from a horrible death. You try to figure out who this guy or what this thing is but now i know what it is... basically i thought at first it was professor barton and boy was i right...
I have spent WAY too many hours of my life on this game, and I look forward to spending many more of them on it, too. It isn't every day you find a game that virtually lacks violence, foul language, and all those things, yet is still so entertaining that it just keeps you coming back for more. This game does that. It is just an easy, relaxing change of pace.
9294 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Dead save battery
2258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This makes the N64 graphics look like PS2. Too bad not all the games are compatible with this. Plus it adds 4MB more to your memory card and improves graphics sound. If u want one of these get the ones nintendo made. If u want the most out of your N64, look for this where ever u can. U will not regret it.
4985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent game!! Love It! Great seller!
The one downfall is the requirement of the N64 memory expansion pak to play more than 60% of the game. Without it, the standard N64 doesnt have enough RAM to handle Perfect Dark's intense graphics. Serious gamers won't find this a problem though, as they should already have one, and those that don't will find that some places will even sell you the pak & Perfect Dark together for a cheaper price.
Wait a minute. I got a complaint! That movie in the beginning. You can't escape it. It just goes on and on babbling while you're stuck in a stupid tram car. Sheesh. What a bore. That kind of nonsense will cost you a star. Later, I went thru that ride a few times because I grew to like the eerie understated music. Still, I think I should have been able to skip the intro movie. Ruined the whole game for me.
So, in conclusion, if you like survival horror games, then I suggest you try this one out. But don't expect it to be better than Silent Hill, if you're a fan of that series (just as a side note).
9003 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing game. It was awesome to relive my childhood memories. This game is in excellent condition. Thank you!
4686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing games since I can remember. Unlike the current crop of wannabe hard-core gamers, I really am one. I've been playing games before the PSX, before the SNES, ... I still remember when the NES came out. But in all my years of gaming, never have I played a game as amazing and beautiful as Konami's "Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night." The breathtaking graphics, the rich and haunting soundtrack, the perfect control--all of this adds up to nothing compared to the gameplay itself, which is of unrivaled magnitude. After Richter Belmont had defeated Dracula in the last "Castlevania," all seemed pleasant--until now. One night, four years after the supposed demise of Dracula, Richter simply vanished. With no idea as to where to go, Maria Renard, Richter's sister-in-law, went out on her search for him when it happened: Castlevania, home of Dracula, had suddenly appeared. You play as Alucard, the offspring of a human woman and Dracula himself. Then, you enter Castlevania. 3D? Bah. The game mixes both the 2D side-scrolling and RPG genres perfectly. Fans of both genres (and those, like myself, that love both genres) will no doubt cherish this game. This is easily the biggest "Castlevania" game so far. There's over 140 different villians, around a dozen spells, a vast array of weapons and armor, and multiple endings. So take a few days off from work and/or school, because you're gonna need 'em. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. I still ask myself why everyone's jumping on fancy 3D engines when they could create a game like this. Could you imagine a 2D "Castlevania" on Dreamcast? (drools) Anyways, the graphics on this game are top-notch stuff. Lots of detail on every little character and background. The control is as easy as it gets. Anyone could pick this up and start playing right away. The music though...it just can't be put into words. This is on par with Squaresoft's best work. Yeah, I'm serious. Usually when playing games, I pop in a Dead Can Dance CD or something, but this soundtrack is too epic to miss. Alucard has lots of different spells he can use, all of which are quite effective and beautifully drawn. There's also relics which Alucard collects, and they are needed to beat the game. Some relics tell you the damage you cause to your enemy; one lets you do a double jump; and then there's some that let you transform into a wolf, bat, or mist. The game offers a decent challenge, by now, after all these years of gaming, there isn't much that I have trouble with, but it did offer me a challenge by trying to collect everything in the game. There is a lot of favorite moments for me in this game, but the moment that stuck out the most in my head was the confession booth. It didn't do anything (except hurt you if the curtains close...), but it stuck out in my head. It's as close as I'll ever get to a real one (I'm anti-religous). All I can say is that you have absolutely no excuse as to why you shouldn't own a copy, ...you're not even a real gamer if you don't own this. The "Castlevania" games that followed this one were mediocre at best (and that's when you don't compare them to this one), so I wouldn't recommend those N64 "sequels" at all. I wish Konami had continued the series with direction they were going with for this game. You can go ahead and keep your "Metal Gear Solid," I'll stick with this. "Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night" isn't a masterpiece, it's THE masterpiece. Now go get it if you still don't have it.
The Cave of Chomp Rock
The story of Silent Hill is based around you playing Harry who is looking for his daughter Cheryl who is lost in the town of Silent Hill. However, what you don't know is that Silent Hill is slowly transforming into Hell itself and time is running out for you to find your daughter. And another thing is that your daughter is tied into Silent Hill's demise into a hellish nightmare. One thing about this game is that you might not fully pick up on the storyline of Silent Hill the first time thru. Silent Hill has a storyline that is very complex and huge and you can find some websites that can fully explain the story behind what is going on in Silent Hill that you will not pick up on in the first run thru the game.
The game doesn't totally consist of running and jumping, though. There are segments that feature mine-cart riding, auto-scrolling, chase scenes, and more, of course. The segments really help add to the already fun gameplay, making the overall game even more fun (Although sorta frustrating, but see below).
749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent item!
A keeper-game that you'd be foolish to depart with (unless it's to a friend or family member... but that's it).
Of course one of the best parts of this game is using the lightsaber in regular gameplay or against six Dark Jedi. No other Star Wars game has been able to capture the feel of the lightsaber like this one.
2217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I needed this to play Majora's Mask, I'm glad I could find one with a reasonable price even 15 years later. Several late-N64 games need one of these, if your game is one of these than here ya go!
2800 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, I would like to point out that I did not play Myst, the first game in the series. I at first was afraid that I would be left confused and in the dark, but the game explains everything you need to know. What I'm trying to say is that, you don't HAVE to have played Myst before Riven (though I suggest it strongly).
Please get this game:)
The multiplayer mode, is, of course, wonderful. You can choose from power weapons, sniper rifels, Dostovals, Shotguns, PP7's, proximity mines, hand grenades, laser guns, and basicly everything else that you can think of. It is an entertaining game, and it is well worth the money.
4119 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is very very good, because it has the real-life thinking, it runs on slow computers, like mine, it doesn't that that much space up, and it's fun too. The only probalm with this game is the money, there isn't any free-for-all levels, which makes it less-addidive, there are lots of things to do, completing parks takes too long, and too hard though. (The money)
2587 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For anyone who remembers the classic gameplay of the origional Super Mario Bros. for your old 8 bit Nintendo Entertainment System back in the mid 80's rejoice, its back! The simple nature of this game makes it so wonderful. Its easy for players of all ages and skills to learn very quickly, but will take hours to master. Super Mario Bros. is a true Video game origional. Its simply was the first well executed game of its kind. A side scrolling adventure game, with tasks to be completed that require skill and paitence, not just mindless button mashing.
4292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well this is one of the few games where it's hard to find any problems. I loved Rollercoaster Tycoon and would recommend it to anybody, from a hardcore gamer to someone just starting to play games, this game is that much fun.
In fact, despite what people may tell you, you do *not* have to collect ALL the gems and ALL the dragons. Finding and collecting all the gems and dragons will only give you a better percentage and open up a bonus stage at the end of the game. The gameplay in Spyro the Dragon can actually be compared to Yoshi's Island- you don't have to find everything, but doing so will open up rewards and give you an overall better score. The creators did a fantastic job hiding gems and dragons, increasing the challenge. More often than not you will see a treasure chest or a dragon statue up high on a platform and not have a single clue how to reach it. It's fun to run around and think about how to reach it. Some of them are cleverly located. One word to describe it- *awesome*

4257 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first Gabriel Knight game was about a voodoo cult in New Orleans, the second was about a werewolf murder in Germany, and the third is about vampires.

8694 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I loved this game as a child but i now understand why the swag didn't last the shakiness of the screen an the blinking dark to light is just waiting for u to have a seisure. I like the game still but I have to take it easy.

4231 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the first "Gabriel Knight" game that I've played, and I'm definitely looking forward to playing more games in the series. "GKIII: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" had its moments of brilliance.
Once again, the graphics. They aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Sort of blocky, of course (since this IS Playstation ONE we're talking about here) but I can't bring myself to really hate the graphics because there's a certain mysterious charm about them. Mega Man Legends LOOKS like a children's game but it's not, really. Most children wouldn't be able to complete the game because some boss strategies require careful timing and it would be difficult for a child.

Then after only 2 min of game play it stopped working on ch3. Ch4 worked but it was fuzzy and no sound. I then called the company i purchased it from and they offered no help. Not happy about this product.

Try Fate or Fable.
5266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Designed by team who were among the first to realize that people were getting fed up with wading through 30 hours of mission and than compleating the game. In this game the object is not to KILL EVERYBODY, rather it is to not get caught. While I personally liked the sequal a lot better than I liked the orginal, The Dark Project deserves to be remembered as the first game that tried to this.
Each character has several special moves at their disposal, and they have quick/medium/fierce punches and kicks. The combos you can link are absolutely insane, and unlike any I have ever seen. There are also No Mercies which are like the fatalities of Mortal Kombat that can be used for a really cool finish once your opponent is on their last breath. You can also perform Ultra combos that reach over 20 hits in a row at a minimum! Also, Ultimate combos are executed when you do a regular combo, put the opponent to zero HP (at which time you can still continue the combo if you so choose), and then perform the No Mercy at the end. The smooth motions are fun to watch as you string a variety of moves together to perform insane assaults on your opponent.
2590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 really awesome! buy from this person! the gameboy was nearly new!!!! it's hard to come across a almost mint condition gameboy. the screen was flawless and still had the plastic protector over it.
The PROS: SML 2 is better than SML in every way possible. The graphics are improved, new music tracks are here and they sound great. The sound effects are on point and so are the controls. The game is longer now and since it has battery backed memory, you no longer have to beat it in one sitting. Plus, the game feels like an alternate version of Super Mario Bros 3, which was a great game so it can only help in the long run.
5429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is by far one of my all time favorite fighting games. It has 2 on 2 matches and the combos are awesome. Just has a really high fun factor in my book if you are a fan of the mk series.
3698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ten years ago, my mother bought me the Sega Genesis when it came out. Since then, Sega had come out with the Saturn, which looked pretty cool but was overpriced as far as I was concerned. And, it was beat out by the Sony Playstation. Then, late last year came the Dreamcast. Mind you, I've checked out Nintendo and Playstation at Toys 'R Us. The graphics were cool, but not what I'd call impressive. Plus, they were too expensive for what they were. So, I waited. When I saw the advertisements about Dreamcast and what it could do, I went to Toys 'R Us to check it out. The graphics are phenomenal. In my opinion, Dreamcast overscores all the others in that department. I never saw a more real looking football game. And, Sonic's Adventure was great all the way around. I somewhat agree with another reviewer who said that the games get bogged down with storyline. I am both a thinker and a player. When I want to play, I find myself annoyed. The Dreamcast does cost a fistful. But. Their line of games is growing every month. They started out with a handful, and now there's about fifty games to choose from in every genre. Now, as you see above, they have a ..... rebate. I wish they'd had that back in December. So, take advantage and purchase the system.
Glitzy and gimmicky, often cheesy, and always expensive, the Gold Saucer is Final Fantasy VII's Disneyland. There isn't a Square fan on the planet who can't identify the Gold Saucer theme within three notes, as most of them have spent more hours here than anywhere else in the game. It was awfully considerate of Square to consolidate virtually all of Final Fantasy VII's minigames and endgame sidequests into one (semi-) convenient location. It is curious, though, how the Planet's premier playground for rich people is located right above its largest prison and can only be reached by first passing through the world's most poorest and most destitute region. Some sort of masked commentary, perhaps, or just a coincidence?
2222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Must have for certain games like Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask! It is required or you will not be able to play the game at all. Supposed to enhance graphics for all games as well.

2846 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here's the premise - you're this little guy with a net and a light sabre running around trying to capture these monkeys. The monkeys wear different colored pants, and have little sirens on their heads. The pants tell you how tough they are to catch, and the sirens tell you if they've caught on to the fact that you're trying to capture them.
6027 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 HL: Opposing Force is everything the original Half-Life should have been. An FPS with a cooler hero, cooler weapons and somewhat less-annoying puzzles.
See. With more light to catch it makes it easier to see.
the price tag was very steep,so if Amazon has any left- BUY A COPY !!!
The graphics are excellent, even for a 1998-era game. Being a Microsoft game it runs on most Windows platforms except 3.1, and I am sure no one reading this review still has that operating system. I particularly like the "worlds" depicted: you actually get a sense of flying over 1940s Europe. The sound is also good, and you can even hear your fellow pilots' radio calls. (Like the more advanced flight simulations, the Single Mission and Campaign games are very realistic in that you fly with a squadron, something I never experienced in F-15 Strike Eagles I-III. I did once own Microprose's F-14 Fleet Defender, a game that had AI wingmen, but I could never get it to run on any of my machines!)
These games are also very popular with people who love glitches in games. The SNES seems to be the best version to get them to happen, but the PS1 versions glitches aren't as exciting... I know it sounds crazy, it's not like the programmers did these things on purpose, but I know people into it will flock to the SNES or Sega versions to try and get glitches to occur. The ones on PS1 however make the game less fun in certain areas. On the SNES version it's not really know if it's better collision programming or glitches, but it's what makes it more fun when you go to execute a move on one opponent, get blocked or miss and it can still bounce off and execute the move on another opponent, or when running in a certain direction, you can execute your moves and they will attempt to head in an opponents direction. For example, Bret Harts "Hart Attack" or "Running Bulldog", on most other versions you can execute that move no matter which way you run, but on PS here, it seems to only work when facing an opponents. Whether that's a glitch or better programming, i'm not sure, but the lack of it on PS1 takes a bit of the fun factor out of playing as that character. Also simmilar things like that can happen when two players are about to execute a move, or one is in the air coming from the top rope, you felt like you could play Russian Roulette and something cool would end up happening like one move counters the other and someone ends up going down, but on the PS versions, I found all that really was achievable was a bulldog or hurricanranna from HBK to counter an air attack, as meant to be there. Also the type of glitches like sprites stuck in mid air and stuff, they aren't present on PS... again, I know, it's not like the programmed it to be able to do it, but the only glitch I can remember the PS doing was The Undertaker grabbed me from someone else and put me in a choke hold, where my character faced the wrong way, it then reversed it and it made the sound that plays when you reverse, but he just put me down and that was it. So, the glitch factor overall isn't as much fun with the PS version.
1889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay I first played this back when it first came out and back when the graphics were good. Now, it is almost 11 years later and I still absolutely love this game although its graphics are old-school compared to say the Wii's graphics or PS3's. But this game was good. It was not easy for me but with a little practice I got better. There is only one egg that still is a challenge for me to get and I don't remember the name of the sub-world it is in but it's the one with a whole bunch of trees. I always forget where to turn/jump to get the height and speed I need to reach the egg. But big deal, this game is how I remember Spyro and brings back fond memories.
You have to find a little dancing monkey to save your game. When you're lost, he can also help you by telling you where to go, unfortunately many times he doesn't provide enough information. So you can be left wandering around for hours until you finally have no choice but to find a strategy guide on the internet to help you out.

"Tribute?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!"
Final Fantasy V which was first released in North America in the anthology set is definately worth your time. Compared to VI I found that V is lacking. But you can see the evolution of the Square company through its transitioning games and Final Fantasy V truly marks their effort before the powerful Final Fantasy VI and VII. I rate this game five stars because no less can be given to Final Fantasy VI. Seperately I would have to give Final Fantasy V four stars, mainly because although I enjoyed it I also found it lacking in comparison to VI but comparing games is not how you rate them so I rated this one on the fun I had. If you are going to play FF5 you need to clear your mind of "Well FF6 did this better, or FF7 had better graphics" We must remember that Final Fantasy V came before and we should play it for what it is and admire it as part of this awsome series that keeps changing and evolving.
Overall:4/5
There are puzzles to solve, however they fit in nicely with the plot, and don't just seem thrown in for the sake of making a puzzle adventure. There are 13 levels in which to get passed, each stranger than the one before. These levels are eerie and alot of fun to explore. Pick up objects along the way, and don't be surprised if you find yourself in a situation where you have to do a bit of fighting to proceed. This game is very unique, with a creative plot, fantastical worlds, and weird characters. The plot is what really kept me playing, moreso than even the horror aspects of the game. Though many adventure games (especially horror ones) rely on the basic plot of "the main character has amnesia...play to find out why", they are not nearly as well executed as Sanitarium is. The main charcater is very likeable, and when he gets flashes of memories, they are very beautifully done and fascinating to watch. You really do want to find out this guy's story, why he's here, and what happened to him. And instead of everything coming back to him at once, you get little hints as you get farther and farther into the game. It's almost like a jigsaw puzzle of his mind. There are moments in the plot that are quite touching, and the first time I played I even cried a couple of times. Though the game has many freaky scenes and horrific characters, overall I found the story rather moving.
the gameplay, control, graphics, story, you just have to play through it and beat it to understand why. I've played
Build your economy, set your army, go to seek & destroy!

Resident Evil : Directors Cut is a enigma in itself. Now why do I say that? Well basically this is not a Directors Cut because capcom messed up. The only people who officially got a Director's cut is Japan and thier initial release of Biohazard (Resident Evil in Japan). What we are missing is actually about 14 seconds in 2 different videos you see thru the game. In the opening video, 10 seconds is missing which actually makes the video more graphic when Joseph dies by one of the zombies dog's and some of the characters are smoking. In the second video where you meet your first zombie, you see a more graphic depiction of the zombie eating Kenneth. But is it really worth it? Most Gamers don't even know about it much less care, but collectors and true fanatics are really steamed about it.

8525 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My kids loved it
first one.
You will also be able to collect different decals mostly from monster drops and attach them thereby gaining a bonus in whatever the decal says. You can equip up to four of them at once.
As far as story goes, I will keep this brief as to keep it relatively unspoiled.
other then that the rest of the story line was very nice.
Right out, the game starts with an incredible opening song, one that sounds catchy, jazzy and dire all at the same time. Then you actually play the game and see the graphics and the hook has dislodged itself from your interest.
The acting in this game is very good as are the graphics in the game. The characters are easy to believe (instead of looking like disinterested hacks reading from scripts) and the story rapidly swallows your attention. If you love a challenging adventure game with a deeply involving plot you'll adore Morpheus.
710 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game because everyone in my family loves Zelda and I had been trying to find it everywhere ,I was so happy when I seen it on Amazon ,I have no complaints it works just like if it was brand new .
7129 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game features a lot of crazy levels and allows you to play with different characters. I haven't seen anything like it, there's fruit everywhere!
9738 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so fun. I love it. The graphics are not the best, but the game itself is awesome. If you haven't played it, You should.
If you beat the game or just get bored of playing by yourself you can change over to two player mode where you can chose to be a team where one of you controls Donkey Kong and the other Diddy, or play against each other. All 3 modes are very fun and provide several hours of fun.
I won't go much into the characters as they have been around a long time and most know who/what they are. But the story... wow. I could not have been more hooked. At first it started off a little slow, mostly to get you introduced to the characters and get some backstory going. After the 2nd mako reactor explosion and you get knocked into slums and fall through the church and meet Aeris... it all changes. The direction, tone and emotion starts running higher. Battles get more intense. You really get the feel that something big, much bigger than even all these characters is building up. It all seems to point to Shinra, but even as you infiltrate it, something is even more disturbing. JENOVA. Soon as I saw that short cutscene with Cloud peeking inside its stasis chamber.. my jaw dropped. I wanted to know what it is, where it came from, what they are using it for etc etc etc. But thats what set this game apart. The more answers you get, the more questions were raised than before.
Either version is great though.
4662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i loved this game and it is a lot of fun. i would recommend this seller to others.
The game-play is pretty straightforward. Go from point A to point B while collecting some keys to unlock the next level. You collect a 100 tokens to earn lives and pick up med kits to restore health lost from battling enemies. Every now and then you come across platform challenges for extra tokens or to get a new weapon to get a better edge. Surprisingly these platform bits weren't as difficult as I'd thought. I was pretty intimidated by the three limb N-64 controller when I looked at it for the first time in years, wondering how I even managed. It actually controls alright, though it does feel somewhat awkward at times.

The story is also interesting; it takes place when Mario is a baby, and your mission is not to save Princess Peach--it is to save Baby Luigi from Kamek and Baby Bowser!
If you want a game with good gameplay, excellent graphics, wonderful and atmospheric feelings to it, get some game on the playstation like a final fantasy.

I have not tried all of the jump pack devices. However, I have tried the TremorPak and the Dreamcast device. I can't really tell a difference other than that the TremorPak seems to vibrate a little stronger than the Dreamcast device. As far as compatibility is concerned, it has worked in all of my games...it has my vote.
5038 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in 1997, I purchased a copy of Resident Evil: Director's Cut, mostly because I'd been exposed to the original verion at a friend's place, and thought it was interesting. The shotty dialogue was a bit annoying, but the game itself was done very well, with good graphics, a puzzle-solving integration, and some really interesting monsters. So when Silent Hill rolled around, I thought I should see how Konami's take on the survival/horror genre would be. I wasn't let down, and Silent Hill quickly became one of my favorite PS titles of all time.
Battle is turn based and involves your 3D characters and your enemies on a map. You have to move close to your enemies to fight with them, and figure out who to move in close and who to keep further off. This is different than the Final Fantasy RPG series where in essence your team stands in a line, the enemy stands in a line, and you simply fire at each other.
727 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I beat my brother at least 20 times.
Once again, that evil, sinister DK has kidnapped poor Pauline, and it's up to Mario to rescue her! First, he will be re-introduced to the 4 levels that everyone used to play in the arcades; it looks even MORE awesome on the Game Boy! But just when you think that you've rescued Pauline -- oh no! -- DK grabs her and kidnaps her once more! Now Mario will have to chase DK through 10 different worlds in order to finally stop him! Even Donkey Kong Jr., his offspring, will slow Mario down from time to time!
The light isn't very powerful, doesn't illuminate much of the screen, and seems to suck the batteries dry much sooner. The glare makes my eyes hurt, and I can't imagine it's good for my kids either. We don't use them any more. Don't bother.
Unless your someone who likes to play old games, avoid this one, there are games which are all around upgrades.
I was completely wrong about Metal Gear Solid. I've really grown to change my mind about the negative thoughts I once had and NOW I think Metal Gear Solid deserves 5 stars (4.5 to be exact). I especially grew to appreciate the main purpose of the game which is, as many have already mentioned, being encouraged to AVOID the guards that appear on your radar. The idea of the game is to find ways to avoid enemies- not just go in and attempt to either shoot or break their necks. No wonder I originally gave the game a low rating. I went in expecting to kill everything that walked in my way! The gameplay is a radically different approach from anything I've ever experienced before.
3283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have to admit that I had never been much of a fan of the Resident Evil series on Play Station. But then Code Veronica came out on Dreamcast, and I quickly became a convert to the school of "survival horror" after watching my brother lay waste to a few zombies. This game will have you on edge--the story is suspenseful, and the enemies who pop out from behind corners can even make your heart jump if you try playing at night with the lights off. This is an A+ title that belongs in every gamer's collection. Even if you didn't like the other games in the Resident Evil series, Code Veronica will thrill you!
3249 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Smackdown:Just Bring It for the PS2 and Smackdown 1 and 2 for the PS1 are better. But it is nothing compared to WWF Raw for the XBOX. Raw for the XBOX is better than any of them. But if you haven't got a PS2, XBOX, or Gamecube yet this is a must get game. Gameplay is good it just takes a day or maybe a little more to get use to. If you want to save money rent it and smackdown 1 or 2 and see which one you would want to have the most.

I recently purchased one of the mnay Geoforce2 cards on the market this game plays like a dream. Upgrading from an older TNT2 made a tremendous difference. Giants seems custom made for the features of the Geoforce2 cards.
You get a manual, a quick reference guide and 2 CD-ROMs containing a total of 3 titles: "X-Wing", "Tie Fighter" and "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter: Flight School" (a demo of an improved title).
Relics: A new addition. After you get the relic in the level, go back and get the relic by going as fast as you can through the level and getting a certain time. There are three types:
First and foremost, I am a huge fan of Bioware. I think they have done wonders for both PC RPG's and also bringing AD&D to the computer. But, After I was a few hours into the game, I was hit with the cold similarity that Planescape Torment was very easily compared to the Fallout series. It seemed to me strongly that the Planescape Torment setting was awfully close to the Fallout games. I'm not too much into conspiracies, but I'll put my money on it that this game was a result of a dropped project to make Fallout 3 using the Baldur's Gate Engine. The graphics, the screen font, the dark settings, they all fit Fallout. This was a bummer to me, and I almost felt like I was playing a thrown together project saved by a team of fans from the Planescape setting.

Most of the enemies that Mario has to face are exclusive to SML, except the Goombas and the explosive Koopa Troopas. Mario will hop and bop his way through 16 fun-filled levels fraught with danger, using the help of mushrooms, warp pipes, and fire flowers. Furthermore, gamers and veterans will truly appreciate the detailed backgrounds of the locales (for example, check out the Easter Island statues on World 3), plus the Egyptian-flavored and Japanese-style soundtracks.

1373 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I grew up playing Super Mario 64. If you are considering buying this game, don't hestitate or think twice. This game is really fun. It can keep you entertained for hours.

5999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought "Age of Wonders" when it first came out. The game, in my opinion, is the best computer fantasy war game that has ever been made. With the option of twelve different races and seven different spheres of magic, there is definitely plenty of diversity and replay value in this game. The spell effects are charming, and the musical score is beautiful. The single player campaign has a great story line, and the multi-player aspect of the single scenarios is well developed. Heroes are very customizable, and if you so choose, you can actually have a hero represent you on the playing field as well (though if you die, you lose). There is only one thing that I would change about the game and that is some of the unit icons; to be honest, the artwork on some of the icons is a little lacking like they were rushing to get this product out the gates. All in all, "Age of Wonders" is an awesome game, and I am definitely looking forward to "Age of Wonders 2".
2873 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you for your wonderful item
There are very few differences between the Japanese SMB3 and the western SMB3 (namely if Mario gets hit with a powerup he goes to little Mario rather than Super Mario, ala Mario with a mushroom). There's nothing like the major differences between the Japanese and the Western versions of Zelda II The Adventure of Link.
The Story: Banjo's sister, Tooty, was "the most beautiful girl around" and Grunty the witch wanted her beauty, so she pulled an Amber Alert and took her to her lair. Banjo's lazy bum the whole time was sleeping. It's up to you to get jiggy's and notes and what-not to stop Grunty and get Banjo's sister back.
7086 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ive always been a Doom fan so i honestly enjoyed this game back when it came out on in the late 90s i think. I never owned it till now. Its a little different than the ID dev'd Dooms but it its still fun. The only complaint i have is the control on N64 controller. You almost need two sticks or a mouse n keyboard to play a Doom comftorably. anyway its a decent game.
7251 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a great game, sure the tracks are a bit bland, and the cars have a low poly count, but the simplicity of them gives them a kind of sleek feel. All that sacrifice adds up though, and the framerate is AMAZING, with all the cars zipping around at 700kmph its SOO COOL. The graphics are meant to be FUNCTIONAL, it is not a sightseers game, anyway, you'll be too busy going hyperdrive to stop and look at things. The X-CUP is especially great because it randomly generates a track every time, so you NEVER get the same track. Also the pure selection of cars is great, and the tracks are SO well laid out, especially big blue (the tubing one) where you race 360* on a tube! It RULLLES! The best racing game on the N64!
Such underrated game never got the credit it deserves.
In the later levels, if you catch a falling star Jacko will turn into a huge robot. Of course. Like in the film, I just can't get over the feeling that Jacko only included this because he wants to see himself 100 feet high. It's ridiculous and has nothing to do with anything! But in a moronic, hopelessly out-dated video game I suppose it's okay. It was kind of easy to finish too and I never really played it again afterwards. But these days, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth and I can understand why no one would want to play it again.
You get:
6119 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This. Is. AWESOME! Any huge pokemon fan will love this 'first-ever (unedited may I mention) pokemon game'.The product came very early vs. What it said it'd be here by. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and inside a "small" bubble wrap case. I'm not Japanese, but it's not much of a challenge of you already know the plot of pokemon red, blue, green, (maybe) yellow, fire red and leaf green. I know what almost all the important character a lines but most importantly the plot. I'm on my way to Misty's gym right now and I got the game yesterday. For some reason Charmander evolved very fast compared to my American Red version. Plus its interesting to hear the music changes from Japanese to American. It's also intresting to see the sprite differences. The hardest thing to do in this game is learning what moves are what, what products are what and maybe naming your character/pokemon. But again, if you are familiar with the other pokemon games I mentioned, you'll learn what the products are quick (though you won't know the Japanese) and its good to change how many you get of which item (ex. 4 pokeballs, 3 potions) and/or buy one and see what it does. With moves on pokemon you should test new moves on wild pokemon and learn what the animation is like to compare to the games I mentioned. I think most evolve, gain experience and moves with the same timing as the American versions. I have yet to see how bad the Lavender Town ("syndrome"**) music is (**if you know it has very high pitched noises to "invoke scared-ness" - it could give headaches if you CAN hear it). Maybe I'll come back with some more updates as I play.
9050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i thought this game was really good it was shipped fast and was in good shape really good game you need the expansion pack to play the rest of the game and 2 player the expansion pack for the n64
it works perfectly as described..!
9779 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The whole series is in the same horror movie format where your character is immediately in the middle of the action. There is fighting gunplay monsters and puzzle solving. So if you like one Resident Evil Game you'll probably enjoy the whole series.
It came out with some of the most well respected games ever...Classics....Lets take a look at them...
5782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I beleive that this is quite possibly the best game ever created. For one the graphics are the best playstation has ever seen, second the gameplay is incredible, and third the story is by far the most complicated yet enjoyable ever.
311 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The item did not work at all. After plugging in all of the cords, nothing happened. The idea is good, but the product is junk.
Analog feels broken, and a feels buttons are sticky.
2526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good.
Fun Factor/Replay value: 10/10
My reason for that immature episode of anger was simply because I preferred the Donkey Kong Country series, and Donkey Kong Land felt like a cheap imitation in comparison. However, playing through DKL again, I realize the error of my ways. I was completely wrong to dismiss this game originally.

I had never played such an adult oriented game. Not even Mortal Kombat came close to how "R" rated this game was.
Once you've mastered the controls, this game gets addictive, and fast! BG is now an older title, and with BGII having been out now for over half a year, the original is currently a bargain bin purchase. I bought my copy through an online auction for eight bucks. Those eight dollars provided me with six weeks of constant gameplaying. Most action games can be completed in less than a week, but BG was vast and involving. The world is huge and sprawling, side quests are seemingly infinite, and replay value is a bonus.
8295 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Megaman is SO fun to play and to watch!!

4733 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 WTF is this crap, this is metroid not castlevainia......this sucks. PS stop making castlevainia into gay manga garbage it takes all the thrills and scary aspects out of it by making everyone look like a woman with multi colored hair.
Story 10
Then there are these stages where you have to guide Pac-Man while he's flying a hang glider or riding in a mine cart. Now these aren't that bad because there aren't too many of them but there's one mine cart ride in particular that really just blew me away with its difficulty. The game goes from being totally cryptic to virtually unbeatable in under twenty seconds and the worst part is you have no choice but to continue through the mine shaft. It took me, quite literally, two hours to get though this shaft and the reward at the end wasn't even hardly the beginning of anything satisfying because it lead to the backyard of Pac-Man's house.
The point of the game is to retrieve all of the castle's power stars and save princess Peach. There are 120 in all. You only need 70 to beat the game. Sure, it's fun to go back and beat the game a couple more times. But how much time are you going to spend getting all 120?Some stars are very hard to get, and after a couple of times, you might get frusterated and just give up!
5595 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very cool.
The game itself features a linear story line, but with a lot of subquests, some minor and some larger. There are plenty of areas for your party to explore, but beware, some of the areas might prove more than you can handle in the lower levels! As the plot thickens and you find out more about your background and the powers working against you it becomes more interesting, and you find yourself working towards the grand finale.
All of this humor works against the very un-funny circumstance of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. One must actually play through Paynes nightmares and hallucinations; the experience is as frightening as any horror movie. But filling the hole of a dead wife and child is a revenge-sodden plot, with the contrast between humor and horror keeping the atmosphere balanced.
Obviously the PC versions of the games are the best ones to play, but for those who happen to have a PS1/PS2 and caught onto Doom at a later date, this version will give you a real bang for your buck. With 2 games and an expansion, the whole package here offers about 60 levels, and 5 difficulty levels of nonstop action. One thing that is improved from the PC version is the sound. All the sound effects and monsters have improved noises, and all the droning level songs from the PC are replaced by an atmospheric, at times errie background soundtrack. As a Doom player for many years now, I believe this makes Doom that much better. Plus, the game feels very natural with a PS1 controller. Also, if you can ever find 2 PS1s, a link cable, 2 Doom games, and 2 TVs, the multiplayer option is well worth it.
Rouge--sounds a little like a man
9359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games i ever played! This game is for anyone who enjoyed the movie the Matrix. YOu can slow down time by pushing your mouse button, and the story line is gripping. If you are looking for a great game, this is it! I ran the game fine in full detail on my p3 600 with 256 ram and a 32 meg tnt2.

9605 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The title really says it all, this is THE best game of all time. It is in my personal opinion, and most true gamers also have it as #1 on their lists.

7951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game and condition reminded me when I was a teen had fun and kept moving nothing to complain about.
It has a cool name. One of the first strategy game. Battle.net to play agasint other people. Protoss, tERREN, zerg.
2392 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My kids and I all love the Pokemon Gameboys (the three of us each have our own Gameboy). The red Pokemon game is very similar to the blue, with the Yellow having some slight differences.

9470 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An amazing game for the super nintendo. This game will challenge you but you will have the best time playing this game.
Go and get it NOW! You need this game!
There is some plot going on but I couldn't follow it. The comic-book cut -scenes look terrible and the writing is too small to read. Plus the are very slow and add too much time between the boring levels.
The game picks up 32 years after the original. The Terrans and Vasudans (the original enemies from the first game)have formed an alliance called the GTVC but a group of renegade Terrans called the New Terran Front have begun to shake things up. It gets worse: the nigh all-powerful Shivans make a return from the last game as well and add more fuel to this cosmic conflagration. As a GTVC pilot you will get to fly new Terran and Vasudan vessels as well as engage in epic dogfights against new Shivan craft. Locales now include nebulae which interfere with your ship's instruments but also your enemies' too.
While previous Metal Gear games had suggested that stealth was the way to go, and other games had used the concept, I had never seen stealth developed as well as it was in Metal Gear Solid. It was not only a good idea, it was the only way to go. You needed to avoid enemies (as best you could) to be able to make it through the game. When you killed an enemy, you had to do it in a way that nobody saw you or heard you. Metal Gear Solid is called a Tactical Espionage game, and it means just that. You are a spy and spies should not be seen or heard.
3676 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Graphics: 9/10
7079 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good deal
The "Bullet-Time" feature is such a great feature when you want to outsmart your enemies with slow-motion attempt to kill! This game is like the movies! Some very awesome things happen in this game, like really loud tires screeching, echoing in the midst of a parking tunnel, or, a large steel bridge collapsing. The best though is when you kill your enemy and watch him get knocked out in slow motion!
Overall it's not a bad game. Especially at current prices.
326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Cable extender worked great! I used it when and had absolutely no problems with it at all! It adds a good 6ft of extra cable length. I tried hooking two together and I found no extra input lag using these cables.

9402 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I don't get the appeal of the Wipeout games. They're terrible. Wipeout 3 and XL are no different. The music is good enough (for a bunch of techno beats... yeah, I'm not a techno fan) and the graphics are slick and futuristic-looking, but the actual racing part has one BIG problem: you keep hitting the side of the track as you go around a turn and for some reason that means you have to make a complete stop. It wouldn't be so bad if you just slowed down, but the fact that your vehicle stops *immediately* is the worst thing ever.
9464 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Take this from a guy as nearly critical as Yahtzee.
Oh and what's up with Candy and that mermaid? A little *too* revealing in both their text (expect a hilariously inappropriate and confusing "watermelon" comment the first time you talk to Candy, LOL!) and the way they entice male gamers with their body movements... hard to believe Nintendo would allow this given the age group the DK series is intended for. Expect strangeness with an overlong and out of place rap parody in the beginning of the game too, which is the first thing you see upon starting up DK64. I like it however, but it's REALLY long. I wish Cranky Kong was actually cranky- he's pretty tame this time around. Hardly any criticisms for our monkey friends!
Indepth story, great music, anti-hero main character, and some truly amazing cinemas. You don't want anything more in a game like this, than what Square has been able to put into these four wonderful CDs. I can't recommend this game enough, it rules compared to kiddie Final Fantasy 9. It will at least be remembered by me, and probably by you as one of the most stunning RPGs that has ever graced the Playstation in all its time before Playstation 2 finally arrived. You would want to get this game and try it out if you haven't already, it truly is a gem to behold.
7070 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my most favorite version of this game lots of challenge, play it again and again and again lol
As a shooting game, Medal of Honor shines and easily surpasses most first-person shooters once again. Enemies are everywhere, and many of them want you dead immediately. Luckily, they give you enough time to react. When you arrive to a harder level later on... well, keep in mind that you will have to keep playing certain levels over and over, and learn where each and every enemy is located, and take them out as quickly and effectively as you can. Trust me, this is really fun. It's *so* much fun to find out which gun you're carrying is most effective on the enemy you encounter. You will probably lose a bunch of times while you learn, but this is all part of the fun. Making it to the end of a level *doesn't* require luck like in Syphon Filter, and you will feel satisfied once you've completed a stage. You can even play the completed stages over and over again, if you want. Medal of Honor is so good, why not play the same stages over a hundred times?
195 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived earlier than expected and a great price!

-The sound sounds like you are firing real weapons, and the guys scream in pain and agony when they die
First there is the single-player mode. I must say that for a children's game the adventure mode is remarkably challenging. But if you want to play all of the levels, (and certainly if you want to unlock all the hidden characters) you'll have to play through it. The challenges are interesting (if a bit repetitive and possibly even annoying). But once you get passed the main single player mode, the REAL game starts.
3324 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Item as described. A pleasure to do business with! !!
Overall, if you are looking for a masterpiece of an SNES game, put in Donkey Kong Country 2 and prepare to play with the chimps.
However, you won't be alone. You'll have fellow scientists to help you along the way (right before they get a shotgun blast to the head, if you're that no-mercy-for-NPCs type) and security guards to offer some cannon fodder while you make your escape, and to open doors you can't to make your way out.
If you recall on the Sega Saturn-
World 6: Tap-Tap the Red Nose (Fort); Tap-Tap the Golden (Castle, Door 3); Baby Bowser (Castle). Kamek transforms Baby Bowser into a Giant Baby Bowser for the final boss fight.

1. Gameplay- It takes you a while to master the controls and stuff, but with practice, this wouldn't be frustrating at all!
story 10/10
Speaking of that, another annoying aspect of the game is the ghost encounters. Essentially you'll need to fight the ghosts off so that Pac-Man will stop sniveling like a little wimp. You can't shoot at them with your normal rocks, you'll have to shoot a Super Pac-Ball at Pac-Man to turn him into Super Pac-Man. Once this happens, again, you have absolutely no control over Pac-Man. The game just makes him fly back and forth across the current screen until the time runs out and he attacks anything that resembles a ghost. This lack of control just becomes down-right annoying. It's basically a "Day in the Life of Pac-Man Simulator".
1226 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Revenge is just too sweet!
2874 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good condition game as promised ' fun to play
The characters were well developed, with distinct personalities. The voice acting, however, ranged from decent to shame-on-you bad. Case in point: Tim Curry as Gabe Knight. His accent seemed to shift wildly from Southern to...something unidentified. Hall of shame nominee: Scottish thugs proclaiming: "We're Scots, God help ye!".
3094 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unquestionbly the best RPG ever, and a strong candidate for the best game ever, Square's Playstation-debut 'Final Fantasy 7' still stands the test of time today as one of their strongest titles in recent memory, and a sort of 'How-To' guide to getting computer games right.
7396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This sequel to ki is awesome i was very impressed on how well the characters were i'm kinda disapointed that they didn't keep cinder in it he was my favorite in the first ki. i love all the characters. my favorite one in this game has to be Jago & Saberwulf. if you enjoyed ki 1 wou'll enjoy this game.
4320 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You will love playing this game. If you enjoyed the first Age of Empires, you are in for a surprise. One of the big changes is you can produce more than one person from the production queen. Online play is still fun too. I must warn you though, this game is very addicting. I find myself sleeping three to five hours a night because of this game. Sound ridiculous? It won't after you become good. Have fun and good luck in your rise of rome career.
3471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a fan of the Dreamcast and spent countless hours playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 back when it was new. Just an excellent machine with ideas ahead of it's time. I still think it would've sold better if it had a DVD drive but I guess things were tight for Sega back then or something. Anyways, I got this for collection purposes but it also has some great games. If you were to investigate you would find games that were made for the PS1 but also put on the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast would benifit from smoother textures and perhaps shorter loading times. Resident Evil 2 is an example but there were others as well before the PS2 came out.
5166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 excellent conditions of the game, jult like the description mentioned the status of the disc and box itself, great purchase great purchase
9646 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love pokemon pinball. One of the best things on the face of this earth! A good way to kill time!
I had no real gripes towards the game and I felt that the DEVs of the game did everything in the better interest for the Resident Evil genre. As you can see by the score that I gave this game, I liked it and I truly think you'd like it aswell.
Also shipped fast I recommend this product
In conclusion, I adore this game! It works as a perfect introduction for the series. The characters and town have really stayed with me. Touching and beautiful...
Also, some of the cut-scenes from the introduction aren't in the game anywhere, and make no sense on their own. This is kind of annoying - these scenes are really bizarre, and it would be nice to know what they meant. Maybe I missed some parts of the game.
Final Fantasy VIII is a crowning achievement for Square, especially since the developers had the gut to break free of so many standards (like purchasing equipment, for example) that it's scary. The game deserves to be played just because of its great originality, if not because of its genius.
How you play supr maoreo 3D world is not fall into the watr that means you lose. How you win is to beat the timer and if you see a flag and jump on top misll or bodm and then you can go to the next cours. So you can save the fair because the draon capshr her and it is up to peach to save the faires. I play with one because some one will drop it.
There are three sets of tracks and two speeds for each, so there is plenty of variety to keep you entertained for a while. Plus you can race the computer or one other human opponent. The head to head races are the most fun because your friend will offer some surprises that a computer won't. Finally, you can always battle it out and try to be the first person to knock your opponent off the battle field.
Codes to try and make this game a bit better (although you have to enter them each time
Gauntlet Legends
The units in Force Commander work like a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" way. You would NOT want to storm your opponent with 50 AT-ATs because they suck against infantry, namely the Rebel Infiltrators which can take-over an enemy vehicle just like Chewbacca took over the AT-ST in "Jedi". So of course, to counter Rebel infantry, you want to use fast moving AT-PTs.

5769 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 as you might have heard, this game was downright terrible. the only thing that kept me going was the story. in my personal opinion, the story is very exceptional and the many months of work they put into it paid off. before starting, i would like to comment that i was very excited to get this game after the two-in-a-row masterpieces final fantasy 6 and 7, and for the fact that it was created by squaresoft, but i was extremely disappointed after about one hour of gameplay. now onto the review...
I ordered new and it was in fact new, still wrapped, not scratches, and the price wasn't nearly as bad as other places I looked.
+ Memorable music and imaginative courses.
960 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid. I recently came into an N64 and just had to get it. Game works perfectly and it arrived quickly.

7840 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 arguably one the best RPG game no one have ever played. great story and up to 108 playable characters?? yes and yes!! the game isn't too long and love major battle scences. my favorite character is definitely Victor. he is cool as cucumber yet he has big heart. all and all 5 star all around.
4471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With its low requirements and amazingly quick pace Starcraft (and Bw) are IMO the best computer games ever. With Starcraft, you have three races of equal abilities and power but are completely different.

9523 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Using a Nyko Worm Light is a very good way to get light on your screen. Although it blocks the screen it's still very useful. It's even a very preety color, blue.
4071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game never gets old with it's many rides and many levels Atari did a great job putting this game together. Creating a prk is a blast. I love it. There is unlimited rides, Rollercoasters, and food accommodations. It teaches you the value of a dollar. Very good teaching skills. Once you start it you won't stop with it's wonderful game play. Wonderful Graphics. Wonderful story line this game is the best of the best. Awesome, Wonderful, Fantastic. Brovo!!!!!!!
If you like Double Dragon style games or any kind of brawler ones, you owe it to yourself to try Streets of Rage. If you can only choose one of them, then go for this one by all means. You'll get enough of the story to figure things out, not that the story is all that elaborate, but it works well enough as a stand alone game and it's just pure fun.
Space Channel 5: A music game that has you helping a space news reporter (you heard me) dance. Very bizarre, very fun.
The Dreamcast does an amazing job of polygon pushing in this game, every level is fabulously rendered. A very interesting technique of pure 2D art being place in the game (self-stacking mushrooms, ghosts, and other things) really helps keep the game looking fresh, original, and not too boxy. In the first level of the game, there is a field of butterflies that you can run through, causing them all to flutter about. The camera angle changes to help you appreciate the view. Very nice.
But I'll quit sobbing. This game is without a doubt a classic. It is one of the best racing games of ALL TIME. DO NOT DISAGREE WITH ME.

As with any sequel, RE2 borrows a lot from its predecessor. The controls, the camera angles, the weapons, the enemies everything is very close, if not the same. But, again as with any sequel, this second installment improves upon the original in every way. Perhaps the most notable improvement of them all lies in the storyline itself. Comparing the stories of the first game and the second is like pitting Sam Raimis first Evil Dead against the recent blockbuster The Ring. Sure, they're technically the same genre, but the differences in budget, acting talent and overall production quality aren't even in the same ballpark.
Superb sound effects
713 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a great experience for first person shooter.
The indescribable amount of options, weapons, etc. is, by itself, reason to give this game five stars. The great graphics, sound, and control also highlight the games abundance of features. A recommended buy for any fan of the shooter genre.
1899 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Spyro the Dragon was the game I got right after it's sequel: Spyro 2 Ripto's Rage. I know it's a bit too late, but I just think that the Spyro series are too fun. Spyro 2 is better than the first, but this game is still great. The graphics and sound is nice, the gameplay will leave you hours into this game, and the story is original. Spyro is one of my favorite series, and this game is great and fun for everyone.
3495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Trust SEGA to take something simple as a memory card and transform it into an awesome accessory that does more than that. The VMU saves data and downloads small games which can be played on its self-contained screen and controls. They're abundant and very cheap, making for one of the easiest consoles to get memory cards for. It just doesn't get much cooler than this.
3918 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a fun version of the board game. It's true to the original and adds animations, music and a great 3D, first person perspective of traveling over the board. Like the board game, it's a great family game. I highly recommend it.
So overall, I'd say you have to go out and buy this game today. Don't wait--you'll regret it!
Overall,
The set up of this game is very unique. The gameplay mechanics resemble something from Mortal Kombat or other fighting games, but its actually a walkthrough/beat-em up style action game though. You can choose as Batman or Robin, and of course with the option of having a 2 player mode as well. Like the Genesis version they use real live digitized footage of actors for the sprites in the game so it looks pretty good overall. That is also where a lot of the pros end on this game, the rest are cons!
5791 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is a lavishy designed game. The game starts out from 16 year old Lara. The game is based on real places in Egypt. The graphics are great. The A.I are also more intelligent. After every stage there is a great movie to watch...it's like watching the " Mummy " ! In the game , Lara awakes Set and now must savethe world before the year 2000. Many interesting puzzles with one mistake: While solving these puzzles you may have to go to the previous stage to push a button or something...this makes it so frustrating...you will never know when the levels ends ! And I agree, this game is impossible to complete without a guide or cheat codes...but still the storyline is great...Get it to celebrate the closing of 1,000 years !

8026 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 People say this game is great. To what extent? its great horrendousness? if that is the case, then yes. this game is so hard and cant be beat unless cheated after world 6, the game is impossible. just stick with sonic on sega genesis. the graphics look like the NES, even genesis is better. just don't waste time with a snes console or games.
3491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega dreamcast was Sega's last console before they got out of the console buisiness.
As the rating suggested, this game is great for both kids & adults alike, but if you hate things from the past like an idiot, you'll hate this game. So all in all, this game is awesome if you aren't a past hating hipster.
Final Fantasy 8 has some of the greatest music so far in the series, in fact right now I'm listening to an orchestrated version of Julia's ''Eye on Me'' It really is a great song. FF8 definitely does not have the best music in the series, but it can still hold it's own when compared to the music of FF5, FF7 or FF6. Sometimes you'll find a track or two to become extremely annoying and repetitive, but just think.. you'll live, right? There are some tracks that you'll remember, such as 'Eyes on Me' or "Liberi Fatali," but a few tracks of FF8's music just didn't have the same feel as previous Final Fantasy games.
8060 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With absolute certainty, this is the absolute best first person role playing and first person shooter combined for the Star Trek game genre. There were high expectations for the second installment of Elite Force and I believe that the second one would have been beter with an improved storyline. The original EF story line is awesome and certainly keeps your interest for the duration of the game. The better graphics of the second one and the fact that it is picking up after Voyager returns to Earth (at the game's beginning) and you end up working on the Enterprise for our favorite bald captain with open space before you and a new group of Elite Force members who are not quite as interesting as the other one on VGER. Anyway, multiplayer online play is STILL ongoing for STEF 1 but there was hardly any for the second. If you are looking for single player action, get both games as they will be worth your money if you at least like Star Trek and you will enjoy them. If there was a third installment, and it used the latest graphics technologies available, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
The strategy of this game is what makes it so intoxicatingly good. This is not a game where you can just go out, play it a couple times & have it completely mastered. You must learn how to use your assets to your best advantage & how to defend your village(s) against invasion. Otherwise, you will be destroyed.
8411 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I know what you'e thinkin'!! I love Street Fighter 2, especially the Champion Edition because it super cool, fun, and has the outstanding graphics for its time, great selectable characters, and fluent controls. Thats good and all for Super NES releases, but what was Sega thinking when releasing this game on the Genesis? Read carefully because there are two major things I find wrong with the release on this console.
When I first started it up, I loved it, it was fun, funny, had tongue in cheek jokes all over the place.

If you want to play the original that started it all, this might be for you, but if you just wanted one of the Mario Kart series, look for the DS version or the one on Wii.
8246 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Unfortunately for Nintendo, and a lot of video games in the industry, they fail to really reach the next chapter of gamers in the industry, when it comes to racing games. I often find it to be a mental block of shame. However, there are some racing games that do fit the bill with a lot of extras. With The Crus'n series for Nintendo 64, it failed the first time, crossing the U.S.A. Thankfully, the sequel was able to make the engines roar just a tad bit harder, and a little more exciting.
Resource management is a huge factor in the game. You can manage it yourself (hard to do) or you can delegate to your assistant. Just make sure your maintence resources don't slip into the negative or you'll start lossing personell, ships and facilities.
276 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!! they take a the case (as seen in picture) and put a 64 mb save card in it expecting you not to find out! these are NOT 128 mb card! they are 64mb cards with a case that tells you its 128!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS YOU WILL END UP WITH A TERRIBLY MADE 64 mb CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS PRODUCT IS AS MUCH OF A SCAM AS CAN BE!!!!!!!!
Storyline: In VII you play as Cloud Strife a mercenary for hire. As the game begins you are thrust into battle immediately as you have joined up with a rebel (or terrorist, if you will) group called Avolanche, who either its members or supporters needs to learn how to spell, to blow up a Shinra reactor in the city of Midgar. Shinra is a corporation that is sucking the energy, called Mako, out of the planet which is slowly killing the planet. After this job and the next you end up joining Avolanche and pretty much becoming the leader of the group taking over Barret's spot. As the story progresses you find out you were a member of a group called Soldier, Shinra's elite soldiers, and befriending the main villian Sephiroth. Thats the introduction to VII as I will not go into it any deeper. I will say that the story gets more complex, very emotional and has some really good twists along the way. It also deals with more adult themes such as cussing and even some cross-dressing to name a few.
Get TA! It's worth it!

7061 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I totally missed out on this one during that fabled era when the N64 was a modern console. FPS games were never my cup of tea, but out of vague interest, I picked a used copy of Perfect Dark up for my collection of N64 games.
The art style will be very familiar to fans of the series, though the pounding techno beats are something new. The game doesn't really play like Batman, it's more like Contra with super-powered batarangs instead of guns. It's also very challenging, and gamers will have to practice, practice, practice to get through all the levels.
The graphics are only strong point this game has. They are absolutely beautiful. Defiantly the best ever for when it was made. You may end up summoning GFs you don't want to summon just to see the pictures they show when summoned.
3546 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Dreamcast, when it came out, was the best system available. Even today, it can still hold its own against most consoles. The problem that doomed the Dreamcast was timing.
Perfect in almost every way imaginable.

Graphics and sound: The graphics vary between great and jaw-dropping, depending on the power of your processor and 3D card. In the slow-motion "Bullet Time", you can actually see the bullets coming toward and away from Max. The sound is also very well-done. If Max is a room away from two thugs talking, they sound like they are a room away. Overall, it makes you feel like you're there.
Don't buy if,
When you're not trying to get a spot on the highscore board, though, you'll certainly be doing the next best thing: Catching Pokemon! True to the franchise, there's the original 151 Pokemon lurking around at certain times in the game. You first lure one in by scoring, yeah, but in the end, you're on a mission to fill out the entire Pokedex with entries of each Pokemon your capture! This alone helps add more replayability to the title, just like it did with the main RPG installments.
5973 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Besides for the resolution, which is still at a measly old 640x480, I really don't have many complaints.
9503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've loved this game ever since childhood. I replayed it last night, and I still got the touch. It's fun and easy. You can play as either Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, or Kimberly to defeat the Putties and the bosses in 7 stages. If you want an awesome game, I highly recommend the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS SNES GAME!!!

I really like what Sonic Team did for the sound, sound rating:9.5/10 and Overall, I would say 9/10 and or me, 9 out of 10=awesome. Now the game is with 6 playable characters, Sonic:The main fast blue hengehog, Tails:The two tailed fast, and flying fox, Knuckles:The echina, he glides and he is red, very cool, Amy:Sonic's pink "Girlfriend" Big:A purple big cat that fishs to get fish, and a red robot, EOC=2. Sorry if I got the robot's name wrong, I haven't played it in a while. One thing I have say if you don't have it "GET IT"!
"Thief" made me re-learn everything I ever thought I knew about playing a first-person shooter. My instinct to shoot first and deal with the consequences later fell quickly by the wayside, as that is the surest road to ruin in "Thief." This game taught me to rely much more on stealth than brute strength, cunning more than a heavy arsenal, and it made quite a difference. In fact, it made all the difference, and it made "Thief" a truly exceptional gaming experience.
7355 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow. I never expected this much from a GAMEBOY game. Creative levels, cool bosses, and pretty decent graphics. Oh, and if you're looking for a challenge, try beating Wario's castle. This level is rated one of the hardest stages in any Mario game.
The story behind it is a tournament (obviously) each with their own story behind why (like most fighting games) up until that time I had tried such arcade 3D fighting games such as Virtua Fighter, and Tekken and to say the least I was not impressed. This title however threw in the good 3D elements along with street fighter style Projectiles attacks. I was hooked.
Pros:
2930 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am satisfied with purchase
Anyways in every level you have to try and collect everything in the stage so you can get an A ranking. Considering how large every stage is it's gonna take a looong looong time. So if you got a lot of time on your hands buy it. Notify Bomberman jumps this time. Also some stages are special stages where Bomberman flys through it on a vehicle or a different form. I found this turned me off at first but I gave it a try and I loved it. I hope you do to and good luck on this long adventure game:).
To find how good are the Sound effects, play the game!
Gameplay: Unlike other games were it's encouraged to go crazy on your enemies, the MGS series rewards stealth and non-killing to progress. Use tranquilizer guns or knock out enemies, the object is to be seen as little as possible. Even then you have a huge assortment of goodies at your disposal that inexplicably can be stored in Snake's tiny pockets. From sniper rifles to 2 different kind of missile launchers, automatics and handguns and goggles, there's plenty to use should you get caught. Aiding your ability to not be seen is the radar where a blue cone represents your enemy's field of vision which you avoid though you can distract them by making noise such as knocking on walls.
7160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this amazing game, it was the last Donkey Kong adventure before taking a break. I strongly recommend this.

AND, ALL OF THE BOSSES ARE, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, PLAYABLE CHARACTERS!! SO IF YOU WANTED TO PLAY AS SHAO KAHN, MOTARO, KINTARO, OR GORO, YOU FINALLY GET YOUR WISH WITH THIS INCREDIBLE GAME!!!!

5739 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 OK, so I'm only on disc 2 of FF Vlll, but I can tell you this, it is by far one of the better FF games out there. First off, lets not get too much into the graphics, it's a PS 1 game, so that should tell you the graphics are not the best, but they could be a lot worse. The story is very suspenceful, it constantly keeps you wondering what's gonna happen next, how is Squall and Laguna connected and what evil plan is the sorceress Edea going to come up with.
- voice acting
The Good:
The Battle Chest is definitely the way to go, as you'll save money over buying it and Brood War separately and get the strat guides for free (and, to be honest, I don't think the guides are worth having unless you're completely clueless about how to beat the game, and there is information in the strat guides that is blatantly wrong as well).
-Bright, colorful boards.
The tricks and the stunts selection that you can perform is very reasonable. Although you can't go beyond 1080 degree turns, there are other tricks that you might not find in any other snowboarding game.
I booted this game up, and as soon as I started the intro level, It was like love at first sight. I immediately found my heart melting at the absolute beauty and charm of the crayon-drawn aesthetics, wonderfully orchestrated music, solid platforming, and controls as tight as the grip your grandmother has on your ear after she hears you swearing. Shigeru Miyamoto made the best decision of his career choosing the crayon aesthetic. Koji Kondo presented his magnum opus in the games amazing soundtrack, and the developers put their hearts into the controls. The tongue is perfectly integrated and adds another level of depth. There has never been another example of a perfect game to me, and it will stay very near and dear to my heart.
The gameplay:

9658 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works wonderfully, missed having this game. Am very pleased to play it again. Thanks!
1897 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 That said, the game is really fun. Not too hard that you rent it and after a while throw the controller down in frusteration-not too easy that you breeze through it. No, there are gems to collect and characters to meet. This was the beginning of Spyro. He only got better and better in future games. Check this one out first though or it'll drive you crazy(everything improves SO much in the next game)Did I mention how CUTE Spyro is??
3527 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After having pretty bad luck with trilogies (see Twisted Metal 3), I was somewhat wary about renting Resident Evil 3. I mean, how could they top a classic like Resident Evil 2? And that's where RE3 is hurt - it's overshadowed by it's perfect predecessor and to do anything but copy it would be less than perfection. Given all this, Resident Evil 3 is still a fun and very scary game. The "fork-in-the-road" choices you have to make are fun and give the game tons of longevity, as what choices you make change the course of the game. The puzzles can be frustrating and drawn out. Resident Evil 3 is basically Resident Evil 2 with none of the bad points, but missing some of the good points. The infinate ink cartridge is definately welcome in my book. Nemesis is an incredibly scary character. The thing that I was disappointed in was the lack of actual story or any real characterization. There was nothing really added to the storyline that we didn't already know. It was basically just solving puzzles, fighting Nemesis 10,000 times and the big ending. Given all this, Resident Evil 3 is still a fun game that will keep you on the edge of your seat and playing well into the morning hours. Oh yeah, and the bonus game is pretty fun!
6103 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the controller I grew up with. Same old moving capabilities and works great with racing games. This is a must have for any playstation addict.
NOX is a fun game to play. Its short length and shallow, linear plot are the reason that it gets four stars instead of five.
577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember that this game used to be extremely advanced for it's age, and the graphics on it are still pretty much spot on. Love the game and is now in my game collection.

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
If you haven't noticed yet, the water dungeon in Ocarina of Time is just abominable. I bring it up often to remind people how terrible a dungeon can be in every possible way. Also, the worst influence ever occurs here- the importance of playing the ocarina musical instrument for a variety of reasons (mostly for warping from one place to another). Nintendo really overdid this aspect of the game by implementing the ocarina WAY too many darn times. It's overdone. Just hurry up and play the darn song and move on for goodness sake. Don't make it so you have to play the ocarina up to 50 times, if not more. I never really counted how many times I used it. It was a lot. It severely drags the gameplay, atmosphere and excitement down and immediately drags the game to a screeching halt having to frequently stop and play these songs on the ocarina. Watching Link stand around and play the instrument is the fruitiest thing I've ever seen. No wonder people think Nintendo makes nothing but kids games these days. This game is partly responsible for that belief due to its influence.
You play as Cloud, a member of a team of environmental bandits. This rebel group is trying to stop Shinra, an evil corporation, from stealing all of the planet's energy, "Mako".
1440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 was the first game to be available for the N64. I remember the first time it came out, how it's graphics, music and gameplay really amazed me. Sadly, very few games came after it to give much competition. To this day, it still remains one of the best N64 games out there. The sheer scope of the game is enough to pick it up. It's made up of 20+ levels that can be played in a semi-non linear order. The graphics are bright and clear, and the animations are creative for each character. Gameplay is pretty deep, but extremely intuitive and becomes second nature after playing for a short time. The real plus in this game is the music, some of the most catchiest to be written for a game to date. Pick this one up for both its historical value and for the fact that its a great game.
3729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just as the seller described. I got both the game and booklet. The game works great. Very satisfied.
It is really the characters that makes this game.

Although the first RE was little more than a big laughable joke (thanks to the ridiculously horrible voice acting that makes what you find in Code: Veronica X look like an Oscar-winning performance), that wasn't really scary at all until the hunters came into the picture, the second iteration really blew me away. Anybody who has known me for more than two seconds knows I don't care at all about graphics in a videogame, so I'm not going to say anything about them because it is irrelevant (which is why I'm not a GameCube or Xbox fan). The gameplay is very good for a survival horror - there is plenty of puzzle solving, adventure, exploration, and combat to keep the interest level up. That's what I like about survival horror: it's not just about fighting to stay alive, but it is also about exploring and solving puzzles to unravel the plot and make sense out of mysterious circumstances. And, while Resident Evil 2 isn't anywhere near as scary or intricate in story as the Silent Hill series, it is still a top-notch game to play for any fan of the genre, and I highly recommend it. The first one you can play on your own; I just played it because I wanted to know what Wesker did to get Chris so ticked off with him, and vice versa. The reason the title of my review is "I was wrong..." is because I really was wrong in assuming that the Resident Evil series was a bunch of bunk and no worth anyone's time. So, I apologize for being a presumptuous jerk.
4768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sony Playstation debuted and along came a slew of games that would propel it to greatness. One of the games that made every kid want to own one is none other than Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. An excellent Playstation title and there's no doubt in my mind that it's the greatest Castlevania game on the face of the earth. Don't believe me? Too bad, now read on anyway:
4028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Half-Life games are the thinking-person's FPSs and the series is this reviewer's favourite game franchise. The original game does look a bit dated by the standards of 2011 but bearing in mind that it was first released in 1998 it still looks pretty good, and in it's day it was truly ground-breaking. It also used a physics engine that was the best of its time and an AI that performed far better than any other. Almost everything you could want is here: a good variety of environments, some satisfying puzzles, and some challenging combat. It also has, within the obvious limits of a shooter, a solid and engaging story. All of this makes for a game that keeps you entertained from start to finish and never outstays its welcome. Great stuff -- and it gets much much better with Half-Life 2!
416 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The graphics and gameplay are very out dated. The movies at the end are stupid and only the first eight players have them. The only reason I even got this game is because I loved Tekken 2,3,Tag, and 4. The only reason I don't sell this is I want to have all the tekkens, but if you want to buy it, don't pay more than $2 for it.
You play as a young boy raised in the jungle and you must navigate often difficult terrain (think running, jumping, climbing, swinging and gliding) to reach your objective/solve puzzles, while the whole time avoiding evil pigs and other enemys along the way.
The graphics are great and the fight moves flow so prettily it's almost scary. The characters are all interesting to use, at the very least, and there's something for everyone from an enormous, slow-moving bear to the lightning-quick but tiny Xiou Yu.
7250 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Nintendo has taken one of the greatest racing games for SNES and revamped it into a whole different futuristic racing game. For starters, there are 30 racers rather than 4, and this game is very fast! But to be so fast and have 30 racers, the game is very cheaply detailed. Lets just say the car your driving is very small and looks like a box with rocket boosters. Also with 30 cars 6 cars to start and 24 to earn, it gets a bit confusing as to who you should chose to race as, so there are detailed photos of each driver so that people can pick their favorite to drive as. The originality of the game is the fact that the track forms itself into any sort of shape. It goes into huge anti-gravity loops, half pipes where you can drive on the ceiling, and pipes where you can race on the outside of it... all around it... without falling off! There are three levels of difficulty, customizable colors, cars, speeds, acceleration and three circuits with seven or so unique tracks. Finally there is an original battle mode, where you must destroy other racers by knocking them off the track. This is a game you should rent before you buy.
The most obvious problem is the limited number of questions. This problem is greatly compounded by the fact that the game doesn't seem to make note of which questions have already been asked--a simply inexcusable error, which results in repeated questions after only a few games.
7238 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This vide game is actually my 3rd personal favorite out of all
I'm actually really surprised that the water stages, for example, are significantly more fun here than they are in the DKC series. They're also much *harder* too. Actually the water stages feel twice as long in comparison to the ones in DKC, which is rather odd considering the DKC series appeared on the Super NES (the console where ideas were normally utilized to their full potential). It seems like the water stages were more thought out in this game.
It would be easy to dismiss RE as just another shoot-'em-up, but it has a number of features which made it unique for its day. Firstly, the game is presented in the third rather than first person, so that you feel as if you are watching a movie (this makes the game more difficult for newcomers to play, but also more like a horror flick). Second, the atmospherics of the game, its creepy music and haunting sound effects (wind, dripping water, creaking doors, etc.) truly create that horror-movie feel. Third, because the events of the two disks are dependent on each other, the game never plays exactly the same way twice; this is particularly true if you reverse the order and play Claire's mission first. Fourth, the various puzzles which present themselves make the game a challenge for the noggin as well as the trigger finger.
i recommend this.
Solid Snake is a tough, ruthless guy who isn't afrid to take someone down. Your arch-nemises is Liquid Snake along with his main henchmen: Revolver Ocelot, Sniper Wolf, Raven, and Psycho Mantis.
Note, that as a "hardcore online fragger" I have a cranked up computer featuring cable modem and a geForce256 graphics card. I've used this on many games, and Unreal Tournament makes the best use of it to date. Games are easy to find and smooth to play. Total adrenaline.
Sound: There may be an N64 game with more audio than Rogue Squadron, but I've never played it, if so (and I've played entirely too many of them :P). There's so much voice-acting. There's lengthy descriptions of every ship in the Rebel Fleet, backstories for Rogue Squadron's fighter pilots, and of course in-level communication between the pilots.
7394 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Killer Instinct series has to be the most underrated game ever being that the gameplay is absolutely addicting. Great eye candy, great sounds, gets your adrenaline pumping when you hit that perfect move. I believe the reason this game didn't gain great popularity is due to the fact that there is a long learning curve but Nintendo took that into consideration with the release of Killer Instinct Gold (which is basically a improved version of the original Killer Instinct with KI2 characters). Gamers can be lazy. I recommend you buy a N64 system with 2 controllers and this game. It will cost you about $300 less than the equal of a PS3 system or XBOX.
the sound is really quite good in this game. squall's sword slashes when hitting a target, quistis's whip cracks when snapping at a target, and Zell's mighty fists make smacking noises when hitting a target.
As with 'Unreal', the game is technically stunning - it looks amazing, has some cheesy, fun music, and runs quickly on a normal machine (a Celeron 300A with a Voodoo3 is more than enough). Best of all, they got it pretty much right first time - given that 'Unreal' was released half-finished, the only patch so far is a small download, and fixes a few minor bugs.
4500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is truly a remarkable collection and a great buy. But the best game herein, in my opinion is "The Colonel's Bequest". That's the only reason why I got this collection.

Rareware was at its best at that time, and the game really brings back a lot of memories. Continues to be great even today, although the graphics haven't aged well...
Compatibility: This version of Comanche can be played on ANY 32-bit Windows box ever built, and on any version of Windows from 95 to 64-bit XP. It's beautiful in it's simplicity in that it doesn't require any special hardware. It even runs great on old laptops. :-)

8938 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Metroid is commonly hailed as the greatest Super Nintendo game ever! Sure, it's graphics can't hold a candle up to Metroid Prime and it's story isn't quite as good as Metroid Fusion, but if you're gonna make a Metroid game you might as well do it right don't you think? What I mean is we want exploration while there's a good storyline in tact. Something that the two new Metroid games didn't put together. While Metroid Prime has great exploration it's story kind of sucks. While Metroid Fusion has a great storyline (probably the best in all the Metroid games thus far) you can't explore worth crap! But put them both together and you've got a Metroid classic! That my friends is Super Metroid!
Not for the fighting faint of heart.
7617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my favorite game back in the day so I just went back and played it. It was just as sweet as I remembered. IMO this is the best game on the SNES, and thats saying a lot.
What this is might well be described as one of the slowest sidescrollers ever made (and that's without slowdown affecting the game). Made in 1989, this is one of the first titles in Konami's Game Boy lineup and it shows. The level one music (Battle of the Holy) is excellent and a personal favorite, but the aural experience is unfortunately quite limited afterward. I personally like many of the background details (whenever they show up, that is) such as the trees and graves seen at the game's beginning. Much later on the ability to use exploding eyeballs as dynamite to open up a hidden area (no joke!) is a great concept well executed.
I've played Final Fantasy VII and IX, but I feel the characters are more believable in this one, the drama is more serious, the leveling system is rewarding and Final Fantasy VIII has some of the most imaginative environments I've seen in any video game. In fact, I feel this is the most imaginative game I've ever played (Shadow of the Colossus comes close). At times when playing Final Fantasy VIII I felt I was watching a real good Science Fiction instead of a fantasy. A lot of cool ideas were used in making this game.
2053 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Note: This review is going to be short, since there isn't really much to say about the game.
There's only one playable character this time, but the game lasts at least 5-6 hours depending on how fast you go. Not to mention that items and monsters are randomly placed each time you play the game. RE3 does improve on the lack of challenging puzzles from the last game by featuring ones that have random outcomes each time. In fact, one puzzle toward the end of the game took nearly an hour to solve! The scare factor isn't quite as high as in RE2, but a new fear element is introduced and revolves almost entirely around the Nemesis when he's chasing you. The first time I played the game, I thought that killing the Nemesis was impossible, but now I know that even on hard mode you can still best him if you use your resources properly. After the game is done, there's still plenty of unlockable goodies to acquire, such as a timed battle mini game, different outfits, and numerous epilogues to explain the story further.
-LARGE NON-LINEAR STAGES. Although the sequels get a lot better at this (especially Sonic 3), these zones all have original and varying environmental themes and seem just the right length for the pace that the platforming has set. It lets you speed through most of them in little time, and also lets you explore their depths as well.
4604 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Before I get into anything about Quake II I have to say if you still own a Sony PlayStation or like first person shooters in general Quake II is definitely a must own! Lots of great things to say about this game...
The bosses I always felt were very cool. Even though the boss of the amusement park looks and fights similar to Street Fighter's Blanca and the boss from the elevator level bears an uncanny resemblence to WWF's The Ultimate Warrior, they are still memorable fights. Also, the robots Oxygen and Nitrogen are fun to fight, and my personal favorite was the boss of the boat, a giant bald boxer named Bear. Of course, no one can compare to the madman Mr. X, the game's final boss. He is a long-haired well dressed maniac with a machine gun that sprays the room in bullets and smashes you in the head with the butt of his gun. He is so sinister and crazy that he doesn't care that he is also shooting up his own henchmen!
8238 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great racing game for the N64 and gave you car customization in one of the earlier game sby rewarding you for the more you played with a better car and graphics for it.
Well, that's "Spyro the Dragon". I recommend this game to anyone who has Playstation. It's not a waste of money, I assure you.
6300 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Planescape: Torment is one of the deepest and thought-provoking games I have ever played. In that respect it resembles great literature -- it tackles the human condition and asks as its central question: "What can change the nature of a man?"
1999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Fox 64 is one of the most fun games I've ever played. It was one of the first N64 games to utilize the Rumble Pak (it was also one of the first to include voices for all the characters). The premise of the game is simple: you, as Star Fox, are trying to save the solar system from the evil Andross. To do this, you hop in your space ship and blow tons of enemy crafts to bits. The game is simple but fun and can be replayed over and over. I've played through Star Fox 64 more times than any other game I've ever owned.
9942 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my first time getting into the Castlevania series and man did I pick a great game. Castlevania bloodlines was the first Castlevania game that featured blood in it! The best feature of this game is the fun factor! Sure you don't have the vertical and 90 degree hit angles that Super Castlevania has. What it does have is two characters to choose from which defiantely adds to the replay value. I also liked the over all graphics and feel of this game. The dark yet colorful backrounds were very imaginative and looked great! The fact that this game along with Contra's hard corps were the only Konomi games (of their series)that made it to the Genesis, makes them special. Since I own both of them I can say they trully are great games!!! Back to Castlevania Bloodlines, I must add that the music is excellent!!! It really captured the feel of the game with its dark feel and scary approach. The only possible downfall is that it is a slightly short game. To the games credit you can change the difficulty which adds to replay value. Over all I would recomend this game to both fans of the series and those looking to play a great old school platformer!!!
4165 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought soon after release. Still my favorite racing sim. Nothing else is close, although the other legendary release was Papyrus Nascar 2003.
5738 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy is a name that many who classify themselves as RPG gamers have come to know, and more importantly, a name that gaming companies have come to respect. Indeed, any company who is lucky enough to employ a Final Fantasy game designer or artist, such as Kartia: The Word of Fate or the recently released Blue Dragon of the xbox 360, is very quick to publicize their acquisition in an attempt to gain the respect of hopeful RPG fans. Since Final Fantasy I was released in an attempt to save SquareSoft from impending bankruptcy to Final Fantasy Seven's standard setting release, the series has captivated Role-Playing-Game Fans around the world.
6309 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you've ever played Baldur's Gate this game should be fairly familiar to you. It uses the TSR D&D rules (although instead of having your stats rolled out for you it assigned a certain number of points you have to spend) and many of the creatures that inhabit the D&D world.
9224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game blows you away and on top of that there are cool mods for it doing move so cool as this its more of a interactive movie in short you have to play this but don't get the xbox or play station version just trust me on this :)
8492 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The sequel to donkey Kong country 1 this time minus donkey Kong with a new character Dixie Kong this game ups the antee with the difficulty this game is hard as hell and it shows but doesn't take away the fact that this game is fun with new bosses levels and music.
2231 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best expansion pack out there for the nintendo 64. This one works best and doesn't make your system run hot. Avoid buying the knock off or else you may regret it. Two thumbs up!
The multiplayer aspect is super also as you get to fight a mixture of baddies. Theres a big online contingent of players out there. Afrer Quake3, Unreal Tournement and Team Fortress this probably comes next in the hierarchy.
Story: Bartz, Reina, Garaf and Faris have to take down X-Death(dumbest FF villain name ever) from controlling 4 crystals. Maybe it's my status as a post VI-player but it must've been irritating saving those damn crystals over and over.

The most significant improvement over the SNES version is the time trial mode. You can race a ghost of yourself after you've already completed the course. The ghost is only a recording of your previous performance, but it gives you a lot more motivation to beat your old time, I assure you.
The object of the game is very simple. Kids have been taken (they are all the same girl appearing 10 times per level) and it is up to Michael Jackson to save them and stop Mr. Big (who?). So, each level contains 3 sections where every single level is different from the last and there are different ways to find the missing children. There are 5 levels and 1 final stage equaling a total of 15 normal levels and 1 flight simulator level (so 16 total). It's enough to keep you entertained.
3645 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Let me start off by saying, I am not "FanBoy"! I am not into the name brand war. I am a gamer, I play on any console and format (PC/Arcade/DC/PS/PS2) Reasons to buy a DC:
8100 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 So i bought this game, and when i recieved it, it was tucked away in a paper envelope, just the disk and nothing else.....and lo and behold, when i take it out, it has a huge crack in it making it unplayable, so not only did i have to pay for an unplayable copy of it, i had to pay for a brand new copy of it at $25. I might review the game when i actually play it, but don't buy it without a case, make sure when you order it, it comes in some kind of protective casing, not just a disk in a sleeve
1: Character Diversity. On the primary roster Three of the 8 basic characters come from one form or another of the mario universe (Donkey Kong, Yoshi, MArio) and then Luigi as a hidden characeter. So basically after all the hidden charactres are unlocked (a royal pain in the ***) one thrid of the roster comes from the mario universe.
*Awesome gameplay and a large variaty of fighters
3421 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's obviously not the best console, but since I've bought it I've had a ton of fun with it and consider it a great collectors console. The Sega Dreamcast has a lot of great games like Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Caliber, Jet Grind Radio, Blue Stinger, and Carrier to name a few of my favorites. A Dreamcast is definitely worth picking up online or at your local store.
Be warned, though: "Thief" is so wholly satisfying, it will rob you of the ability to enjoy 90 percent of the games on the market.
Hookbill the Koopa's Castle
4756 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's been about 3 years since this monster role-playing game came out and it's still in most people's top ten.
9834 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 They had to start somewhere. So they started here. Honestly, this is no where near the level of fun that other Kirby games provide. But it is still fun none the less. This game is missing one key feature that most Kirby games after it have. The ability to steal the enemies power ups. But let me reiterate my previous statement. This is still fun none the less. To be honest, I would recommend this to anyone trying to learn how to play older games. Here are three reason why this should definitely be in your collection today.
I recommend.
How do you describe this game? Think "Tomb Raider" meets "GoldenEye" meets "The X-Files," and there you have it. You are Joanna Dark, a top agent with elite Carrington Institute, researching and investigating the mysterious DataDyne Corporation and thier evil conspiracy to assist an alien invasion. Gameplay is very similar to Goldeneye, moving, targeting, shooting, and using items will be all to familiar for fans of the 1997 calssic. The new weapons, ranging from small handguns, to automatic hand-cannons, to alien x-ray guns (The "Far-Sight" gun is so much fun it's silly), are fun to use, and much more useful as well. Each weapon has a primary and secondary function. For example, proximity mines have a secondary function to act as a homing device for proximity mines and other hidden threats.
Well that is all I have to say about Gex3: Deep cover Gecko. If you ever buy this game I hope you will like it as much as I did. Thanks for taking your time to read my review. ( - -,) ( ^ ^,) :)
The method of farming in this game is completely done by your character; you till the land, plant the seeds, and water them until plants grow. And you have to do everything in 2 minutes and 45 seconds because you wake up at 6:00 a.m., hours in this game are 15 seconds long, and the person that picks up the crops comes at 5:00 p.m.. However, time does not pass while you are in buildings. If you do to much without eating or sleeping (sleeping brings you to the next day), you will not be able to use tools.
7027 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very nostalgic feeling, charming, and tons to do. Would recommend, just keep in mind you need an expansion pack.
3906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Jedi Knight is a first person shooter game, like Doom, or Quake, but with a Star Wars twist. To me the familiar Star Wars aliens and even the new ones make this game a true joy to play. Jedi Knight easily has one of the best game soundtracks ever with the booming symphony sounds in the backgroud. The graphics and gameplay are also a sight to be seen. A truely fantastic game, anyone who enjoys first person shooters should try this one out.
Music-100,000/10 The music is absolutely beautiful and extraordinary. Hearing Brinstar's green theme for the first time was just amazing, and it is still stuck in my head. The more recent metroid game, "Metroid- Fusion" had a pretty low grade, techno-esque soundtrack, but this game is totally different. The music is often times somber and sad sounding, and often dark or mysterious. Every single levels song perfectly fits that area. The music for the Norfair area is quiet and dark sounding, fitting the darkness of the area, and the Maridia music is very eerie and brilliant, fitting for a water area. Definitely the greatest soundtrack ever for a video game, and even better than a lot of other music.
519 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent item!
one of the best games of all times
Slayer
The story - well known for it's truly [awful] translation. Don't let that fool you though!! They translated the story completely and nothing is censored out. So don't even fret about that. To be honest, they pretty much had some *very* bad grammar in some areas, and had a few misspellings. And their extreme overuse of quotation marks is abominable.
Great game if you a Star Trek Fan. Great Sound Effects and Good Storyline.
Great fun, and a hoot to play. The best thing is that being computerized takes care of the manual administrative things, like counting money. (The same goes for similar games like Monopoly), and the graphics and cartoons are really entertaining. Nice is that you can play with as many as 6 or 8 human players, so everyone can get in. Either way you play is great.
5929 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything went well. I got the game, it works. I played it for over a month now, no problems at all.
Vince McMahon and Jerry "the king" Lawler call the matches, and sometimes they are really funny. Sometimes the game messes up and they repeat the same line two or three times in a row. They gave Vince more lines than Jerry, but you will hear both of them plenty of times while a match is going on. Maybe it's just my version but it sounds like Vince McMahon is saying "to the fake!" instead of "to the face!".
Defense (getting hit helps here)
So the characters don't say much. It's mainly just a simple "Yippee!" or "I'm-a Wario and I'm-a gonna win!," but there's much more in-game speech than GoldenEye. Sound effects are fine too. The soundtrack is excellent. It ranges from coutry to smooth jazz. Even some major critics of video game music I know have said that the music here is great. You know Koji Kondo's doing something right hearing that.
Please, folks, don't get sucked in by the hype. Save your money for something better. In the meanwhile, I'll be hoping that Ion Storms next big product, Deus Ex, does a better job of living up to its reputation.
4554 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 greatest skate game ever
The combat and movement wasn't arcade like, where you had to hit the joystick just right in Spot A to hit the enemy in Spot B. It mostly was figuring out the right combination of healing, attacking, and defensive spells to cast to keep your party alive while taking out the enemy. There was little if any blood and gore. The aim of the fights was to outsmart your enemy, not to hack ribbons of flesh off of it.
back to re2, it has a good story and ok graphics, i don't own it but i rented and beat it within 2 days so i feel i am entitled to write a review. what it lacks in difficulty and replay value it makes up for in story and scare value, recvx is a very long game for the ps2 but isn't scary at all and has a very long and medocre story, if u have a ps2 buy this game and a psone mem card for the same price as the new re game and u will be more happy.
7020 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has realistic basketball playing, with good passing and shooting simulations. The free-throws are statistically canned, but acceptable. The graphics are a bit blotchy, but the gameplay makes up for it. Better than several other basketball games that I tried.
In my opinion this game was the first great console air combat game. If you love arcade style air combat games and play Playstation games, you just have to get this game.
3215 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There is doubt about it, this was the game that showed the dreamcast could be a major competitor. Being a big fan of the arcade version, I must say(for the billionth time), that this one surapasses the arcade version. This is a very strategic fighting game, And it is extremely deep gameplay. Although my only compaint is that a button masher can beat the computer. That is my compliant about all 3-d fighting game(as opposed to earlier, Street Fighter2, And Street fighter alpa, series games.), is that button mashing can get you over. Although, in 3-d fighting games(like Tekken and, of course Soul Calibur), you cant pull off impressive,beautiful,combos with just button mashing. For the most part, this game has alot of relay value, lots of of unlockable characters. The mssion mode, which adds even more to replay value, and the cool museum mode. In my opinion, Time attack mode, is useless. The survival mode, while great, is just too easy. Another problem, the final Boss, Inferno. He is pretty easy as well. But this is common in 3-d fighters. But all in all this is a solid fighting game. It is just a bit too easy. Even ultra hard mode, can be easily won by a competent Soul Calibur player.(although button mashers can win the first two stages). This game is a must-have for Dreamcast owners.
3073 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have just recently finished playing FFVII for the first time. Before playing it, I read a lot of comments from people claiming that this game is the best ever. While I do believe it to be good, I can't fully agree. I enjoyed FFVIII more (despite the fact that that opinion will likely discredit anything else I say in the eyes of all the rampant FF8 haters out there), I must admit. But vastly, this was a great game.
8646 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 DRMBM is actually a puzzle game rather than your average platformer. It's actually based off of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog show and it is probably the only game to be.
7781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is, in my opinion, the first Zelda game that is actually a quality game by today's standards. It has a developed story, uses actual dialogue and characterization, has vastly improved graphics, better game play, and it has a much better save function. You can save anywhere in the game and not have to do anything over.
172 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not love but like. This rubber grip gives you alot of grip but needs to be smoothed out with a razor blade before use. I'm happy.
6577 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have always been a fan of the Final Fantasy series and this just makes me a more solid supporter. Great game play and hours of fun.
The best part of the game is the variety in the locations. You start off in New York, move onto a train traversing Russia at night, end up in Kosovo. There's a consistent plot between each scene too.
The fact is, Half-Life is an experience, and it may not be for everybody (although sales figures would suggest otherwise). The emotions, sweat, and stress caused by playing Half-Life are the results of developer Valve's desire to up the ante for the video game market. And, boy, did ever they succeed.
3227 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 By far one of the greatest games i have ever played. Great story, mind-blowing graphics, awesome characters and more. Everything about this game is incredible, right down to the realistic breathing motions of the characters! The soundtrack is the best I have heard out of any fighting game to date. I am desperately trying to find it, but i still can't. Let me know if you do! Lots of game modes and jam-packed with secrets. It will take you a long time to get bored with this game! This is the only reason I haven't sold my DC yet, since Sega abandoned it.
6707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay so we all remember when Might Morphin Power Rangers hit the big screen - well here is your chance to fight off Ivan Ooze yourself. Pick from any of the Rangers, (Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kimberly, Billy or Tommy) and take on villains from the series and the movie! This is a side scroll style game where putties are not the only thing to fight! Classic enemies from the series including Lord Zedd himself,leading up the to final battle with Ivan Ooze from the movie. Play as one or two players through the game, Morph into your Ranger form mid-level and even use awesome power-ups that are specific to each Ranger. This is a must have for any classic gamer or just a fan of the Power Rangers - It's Morphenominal!
Finally, there's the value. The games themselves are not at all worth the high prices they demand. Super Smash Brothers simply isn't as fun as Powerstone or Bushido Blade. Mario Kart 64 isn't as much fan as Ridge Racer Type 4 or Crash Team Racing. Mario Golf is nowhere near as good as Neo Turf Masters. Hell, even Mario isn't as fun as the Crash Bandicoot games. And just about all of the games listed (with the exception of Powerstone 1 or 2) are all marginally cheaper than their N64 competitors.
Like in the original Legend of Zelda, you can do the "Three Heart Challenge," which means you can complete the game without any of the health upgrades from beating a dungeon. Essentially, that's playing Hard Mode (although it isn't really that hard).
3666 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remembered this game from like ten years ago, but didn't remembered the name. Finally stumbled upon it and bought it right away. All the memories came back and is great to play with family and friends. Recommend it to those who like adventure, puzzle solving, button smashing though countless enemies and using great team work.
Half Life has the best graphics ever in a computer game, Dont worry if you don't have a 3D card, You don't need them, The software rendering itself is as good as Direct3D or OpenGL. Valve's artists and sound artists should win awards for their contribution to half-life. The charecters look so real that you really feel sorry for them when they get killed. Not only does the game look and feel like the science lab, but it's monstors and live wire electricity effects all come alive. The graphics of fire and water are simply superb so life like. The sound in half life is very clear that you could understand what the scientist and commandos are talking very clearly, The explosions and the gunfire sounds along with the graphics give a real war like atmosphere. The sound track in half-life the opening music is fantastic. Half Life's level designing is superb, The black mesa is a great place to hang arround. The levels are so beautifully desinged and they are very strong and the puzzles are very challenging. Surface tension is my favorite level. There are 13 weapons but why did the makers have just 5 keys for them, Most of the weapons have secondary fire mode. This is the first game were living creatures are used as weapons, The small alien crab like thing and the hand of an alien, Leave your charecter alone for sometime holding a weapon and you will see him play with it. The commandos are more challenging to fight than the aliens expecially the black dressed woman assasins in the levels apprehension and Lambda complex. Fighting them feels as if you are suddenly in a multiplayer game. Half Life's loading time is really fast and quick save and quick Load lives up to it's name only in half life.
Overall- Aside from the controls being what they are, the game is a smooth ride of fun fighting and brainless beat-'em-up. I feel this game is totally undercredited, and that we need to change that. ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES!
You can play GK3 without playing the other games in the series, but I think it wouldn't be as enjoyable, as the background information gives so much insight into the characters and their relationships. Still, if you're looking for a great story and challenging puzzles, don't pass up Gabriel Knight 3!
His past happens to be kinda messed up...he's even sadder about that.
good dino action
FF 7 follows the story of Cloud Strife, a young mercenary-for-hire, and his attempts to stop his ex-colleague and nemesis Sephiroth from destroying the world. Along the way he meets some memorable characters, makes friends and discovers who he truly is.
Oh yeah!
3009 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know a game is probably pretty good when it has over 1,200 reviews written about it. This review, hopefully, will be slightly different than most - I love RPGs, but never played FFVII back in the day and just completed it for the first time. So I'm not really biased due to loving the game back in my younger years and will try to review with an objective eye.
Gameplay and features: One of the coolest features of the game is the slow motion, officially called "Bullet Time". Bullet Time can be used at any point, since there is no break between action sequences and looking around. However, Bullet Time is limited. It slowly drains while it is activated, but you get a little more to refill it a bit whenever Max downs an enemy thug. The slow-mo really adds an extra "wow" factor to the action sequences. This isn't just Tomb Raider with thugs, drugs, and Baretta slugs - this is a game of Matrix-like action tied together with a Usual Suspects-like story. The controls are very simple and do not detract from the game whatsoever.
128 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I cannot get this thing to work with my Wii Rockband 3.
this game is great, u may think u should just rent it, but dont.
9522 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought my kids each one of these at Christmas, so that they could play with their Gameboys in the car when the light was low. Waste of time and money.
The campaigns on this set are incredible and allow you to progress from the simplest and basic rules of the game into a situation where you are incredibly out-numbered and you have to resort to every strategic bone in your body to win.
5/5
Man I was dissapointed!
Oh, and jump-jets are just plain cool! Man, I love this game! Plus, the cinematics at the beginning feature the same guy who starred in a fairly recent snowmobile commercial featuring the automatic jerky-extruder. The acting on both occasions is hilarious. A little bonus tidbit of trivia there.
Good decision. For ... you just can't beat this. I've seen a good deal of Trek in my time and I'm enough of a fan to see the latest movie in the theater, but I have spent less time actually watching Voyager than I have playing this game.
4.75 stars.
225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Does what it's supposed to and worked great for my kids.
The graphics are gorgeous and you get to do things like water ski. Still not as gooas Mario 64 but then this is PC after all and Platformers are no longer 10 a penny.
*SPOILER ALERT*
185 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Have had this skin for almost 2 months and so far there are no signs of wear or tear which is good. Its sticky just enough to be grippy but not overly so. It protects the controller fairly well. Keeps it from getting dirty as fast especially if you have a white controller.
So, if you're wanting to compare Mario and Sonic to Crash, I'd say Crash all the way. And, as you can see, if you're reading this, Crash's 1st game was much better then Mario and Sonic's. I say Crash is best, no matter what anyone else tells me.
A minor complaint is that sometimes while you're walking or running, the path will suddenly end, and you'll fall to your death. Doesn't happen often, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.
I hate to see Sega get out of the console business. Unlike Sony, Sega didn't put up a fight when people wanted to play import games. A certain company simply isn't allowed to advertise that their product allows import games to be used. Sony removed a port from the original PlayStation because it could be used to trick the console into reading import discs. Sony even made the American PS2 slightly different from other foriegn versions to help fight that. (They may never admit to it, but there are signs of it.) The XBox is essentially a PC (a Pentium III and a hard drive). I plan to pay close attention to Nintendo next.
2649 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love my Game Boy. It is awesome. I recomend to get Super Mario Bros. DX. and a battery pack (so you won't have to waste money on batteries.) with it.
Final Fantasy VII is worth all the Five Stars I give, because I believe it set the standard to the RPGs to follow.
8312 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game doesn't rank tops for graphics, and the music can be pretty annoying after a couple hours but it's easy to turn it off. The gameplay is completly unique, it's very complex and dynamic with some of the subtlty of a good chess game with the advantage of it being faster paced and more variable with terrain effects and pieces being able to offer support on attack and defense. All in all a good game and well worth the money.
Graphics 10/10 -/- When It Comes To Donkey Kong Country, Good Graphics are an All-Time-High. Nintendo Wasn't Lying when the box art said "3D GRAPHICS."
4125 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Offers lots of extras at a good price at the time.
1303 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The soundtrack, the graphics, the voice acting, the level design and development, all bring the nostalgia and throw it right in your face. This is truly one of nintendo's best. If not the best n64 game, what is?
Dhalsim
BLIZZARD!!!
Overall this collection is worth ten time what you pay for. You get like 11 full games. Buy this as soon as you can!
The price point is also outstanding, especially since you get a 56k modem and an Internet web browser with the system (there are many games that are on-line ready as well). You are not tied to a Sega ISP either, that makes this the most inexpensive sit-top Internet appliance on the market.
Fun: 9 of 10
- The Genesis version has MUCH worse music and it reminds me of the 8-bit NES. The Super NES has music that's extremely rich and varied in the arrangements with more emphasis on heavy bass, clarity and ambience. It's really amazing and laughable to me how many people actually think the Genesis version's tinny lackluster metallic sound quality is somehow superior.

There aren't any cutscenes per se in this game (FMV which was popular at the time. Most exposition is handled via codec conversations with limited animation and text. These can get a little lengthy and may require familiarizing yourself with the games support characters to remind yourself what to do next.
After years of development, a few promises, a few leaked features and dozens of delays - Diablo II is here. The Second Coming of Hell and another dip in all IT stocks came to my desk less than a week ago, and grudgingly I accepted the job of reviewing the game.
Overall Super Mario 64 stands up on its own. The game was indeed revolutionary and braught us amazing visuals, superb gameplay and great controlls aswell as a fun adventure/like plot with lots of collecting to do. The games music was just great to listen to, the places the game takes you are just so fun and innovative and the moves/mechanics that are enabled for Mario(though limited)are great! The game is just plain great! As I stated before, it is one of the best video games ever made and it indeed gets a perfect
9705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rocks. My friend let me borrow it, and I made up excuses not to give it back for almost a year! I played Caesar II and, quite frankly, was very disappointed. It was impossible to win that game. Caesar III, however, is much easier. I read a review about a guy who could never win because of the ratings. I don't know what the hell he's talking about! I beat the game easily, and then went back and beat it again, taking a different path. And again. And again. That's how diverse this game can be. In the campaign, you are always given the choice between to assignments. The combinations are endless. Simply awesome.

1930 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just loved RE 2 when it came out and even more scary then the first game. you play as Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield. there is one area in the Police station that when I went down a Hall..Scared the hell out of me and made me actually jump from my chair. that's the type scare I enjoy.
7931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can understand if you're a Mortal Kombat fan that may be a bit upsetting, but it's still MK, a good fighting game, and a great port.
The Chaos Emeralds for the fact that all you get when you collect them is a "good" ending (which admittedly, is a pretty lame ending). The sequels fixed this problem for the fact that you become Super Sonic when you get all the emeralds.
7136 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The fact is, Goemon had never really gotten that much publicity. Half of the games in the Goemon franchise never reached American shores. Mystical Ninja is essentially the first Goemon game for the N64 out of 2...not bad when most people expect 0. And it has become pretty much THE cult classic for the N64. Most cult classics are things that do poorly in its initial release, but later develop legions of backers extolling its greatness. Some cult classics really are that great, and the people have valid points. Others really aren't that good at all, and the people behind are just pulling argument out of the air. So is Mystical Ninja an example of the former or the latter?

The graphics may be slightly better then the 1st version, but the game-play has come down badly. Tho it is fun for a few seconds to have your vehicle slide down ski-slops, or get picked up by crane magnets and ski-lifts, or have your car blown off the road by jet engines, the vehicles response is horrible compared to the first. You have less control this time, the car won't do the 360's properly, and in lighter cars, you spend more time upside down trying to flip back over, because of opponents rockets, then anything else.

7557 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sequal to the 1998 Action Game of the Year, Rogue Spear is a perfect mix of action, espionage and stratagey. The game picks up with your team, Rainbow, trying to stop the terrors that roam the world. You select from over 25 memebers to create your team, and than select weapons and outfits. You can also plan your own attack, but I found it funner to use the pre-made plans. Once in the heat of the action you can switch between teams, which carry snipers, assualt and electronic experts. In 1 player if a memeber dies, he is no longer accesible. Missions range from a stranded 747 to a TV station. The replay in the game is unbelivable. I got it the day it came out and still have even MORE fun playing it. Each time unlocking new stratagies and tips. There are a variety of modes ranging from lone wolf (just one character) to terrorist hunt. The game plays out like the Tom Clancy films, "Clear and Present Danger" and "Patriot Games" and if you pay attention to the films, even has some of the same charcters. Graphics are superb and sound is amazing. If you crank up the speakers, the game contains moments of absoulutely no sound, to Matrix style shoot-outs. The suspense is amazing. The game uses little music in gameplay to amplify the sound of footsteps and gunshots. When you've been playing a mission for 30 minutes trying to beat it, and you barely escape a sniper, the thrill is amazing. And to later get shot by a terrorist in the shadows is a crushing defeat. If you pick this puppy up, I gurantee it will become one of your best friends.

9490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 1995 seemed to be a great year for a gamer. The Donkey Kong Country series went portable with DK Land, Rayman was a surprise full of perfection, and Vectorman appealed to Sega Genesis players with its colorful pre-rendered graphics that DKC had done. All of these games were great, but Yoshi's Island was the best of all. While Rayman would have been my favorite game of all time, it suffered from the most extreme difficulty EVER. Yoshi's Island has amazing graphics, catchy sound/music, awesome gameplay, AND forgiving difficulty alike.

OK now to business, I have been in the world of video games since Atari 2600 and colecovision, so after more than 20 years of gaming I KNOW of what I am talking about, if I say its worth is worth it!! but the final word is always yours.
So, if these character's sound cool to you then great!
I also wanted to understand why I was doing what I was doing. Oh I could solve the puzzles, given gobs of time and guesswork, but at the end I found the plot rather too spare for the amount of work invested. If I'm going to spend weeks solving puzzles, I better understand more at the end of the story than at the beginning. I'm not altogether sure that happens here. The universe here, for all of its graphical excellence, left me hungry for more. Clearly, this is an entertainment crafted by fine artists rather than fine writers. If you're happy with that orientation, you'll be overjoyed with the final product. But if, like me, you want a game to surround you with an active, vibrant plot revealed by characters of substance, Riven isn't much of an adventure.
Overall: A great buy for any RPG fan or Final Fantasy Fan that is willing to put up with the outdated sound and graphics.
My only real complaint is with the level selection. Each mode has its own levels, but I would've liked to had all the levels available no matter which mode I'm playing. You end up playing a lot of the same levels multiple times, which gets a tad redundant.
6958 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its a good game, but I think I liked Goldeneye better.
6142 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is not a game. It is manure masquerading as a game. Smelly manure. I'm all for a "sense of wonder" but when that "sense of wonder" is bogged down by an insurmountable wall of bugs (bad bugs), an extremely clunky physics engine, non-existent gameplay, and a bunch of other gaffes who needs it? This is an excellent box-stacking simulation but is nothing else
JUNCTIONING~
The first problem I encountered was a poorly written manual - only one-third discusses how the vehicles and buildings actually work. Once you can figure out how to play the game, BZ2 is a blast.
Even the name "Darklight Conflict" is science fiction. I could connect some of the premise of the game with the old sci-fi film "This Island Earth", but not much of its premise. In that movie, a group of scientists are helping an alien race that appear about human, so the scientists don't find out they're aliens immediately. When they do, the aliens take them to their planet and the alien commander tells them their planet is being overrun by another planet's race, and they recruited Earth's best scientists to come up with new and advanced technology to help them survive the invasion. Their enemies soon destroy the planet, but the ship has enough energy to return the scientists to Earth. After their safe return, the aliens drive their ship into the sea, never to be heard from again.
4647 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got this game for Christmas of 2014, and I love it.
Single player is fun, but gets dreary after a while, especially if you're playing as the Rebels. The Imperials generally name thier ships at the beginning, but the database for ship names must be shallow because soon after you'll start seeing such inspiring names as "Carrack Cruiser 152" or "Star Destroyer 43". And the most glaring deficiency in Single player mode is that the Imperials will *never* build a Death Star. Ever. Leading me to want to shout "The Death Star plans are not in the main computer"!
Although we have the remake with the Twin Snakes, I felt the original is the best version and while graphically it shows its age, it's still an engrossing playthrough.

its also funny like when yu get last place you win,,,, like a stick of gum,soap,and even caffine-free soda.
My only complaint is that this control isn't used enough. Very few games call for the right stick. The one that I know of is G-Police, and it really adds to the game.
3914 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I was very disappointed in this PC game. It was boring. Everything about the game was chance. You have little control over what happens. Game time is short and it is very likely you did not win anyway. It was a waste of my time. If you really think you need this game - buy it used or at least a new one cheap.

There's some much needed humor in the game involving some pop culture references, such as when a traveller tells Nall(a flying cat) how much licks does it take to get the the center of a Tootsie Pop when it was an owl in the commercial.
In Grandia, using specific kinds of magic or weapons makes you more skilled in that capacity. Naive gamers have said that Grandia's character growth system is innovative and interesting. It is not innovative, in my mind, and not interesting. Such systems have been done in 8-bit Final Fantasy games and reams of Japanese RPG with lower profiles (the SaGa games come to mind). Also, because the game is so long, you'll probably learn every spell and weapon technique about 50% though the game. Since this removes any real incentive to engage in combat, all future battles are suffocating in how boring they are.
9536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I picked up Myst III (to be played who knows when - I have a five-year backlog) the package also contained Myst and Riven. I first play Myst about 10 years ago, so I decided to load up and play it. The Masterpiece Edition is updated with better graphics and some hints but no new content and ran in Windows 2000 with the Windows98 compatibility mode with no problems. Because I replayed the game in about ten hours or so it is difficult to meaningfully comment on gameplay. Secret doors and the infamous underground railway give most players the hardest time and I will admit having problems on the railway. Anyone having problems can google for hints and tips.
Really, one of the major things that make this game stand out from other racing games is how there are symbols floating on the water, telling you which direction you must go relative to it to avoid "Misses". If you collect enough "misses", you immediately lose. It's simple, but it works much better than it may sound.
-As with most earlier FF games, instruction tends to be rare, if present at all.
9868 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Find me ignorant, if you must but I never owned this game before. When I finally bought it, I was thinking that it was just a Sonic 3 expansion. I did not know that you don't need Sonic 3 on the top of it to play it and that this was its own entity. That was a very pleasant surprise. Rebuilding my video game collection, I had bought a genesis for my SO, and I wanted to buy her all available Sonic games for the genesis, with her being an avid Sonic fan, so I found all of the games, this being one of them. I enjoy playing this game, as well as she does. I recommend this game to Sonic 1, 2, and 3 fans.

6996 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Fox 64 is one of the most fun games I've ever played. It was one of the first N64 games to utilize the Rumble Pak (it was also one of the first to include voices for all the characters). The premise of the game is simple: you, as Star Fox, are trying to save the solar system from the evil Andross. To do this, you hop in your space ship and blow tons of enemy crafts to bits. The game is simple but fun and can be replayed over and over. I've played through Star Fox 64 more times than any other game I've ever owned.
The graphics are quite good, although new games and video cards are pumping out prettier eye candy. That's not where this game shines, though.
The whole game revolves around "Bullet time," a nifty idea that is great when it's simply another feature in a game, but to have the entire game built around it is simply boring.
Sound: 9/10 - Great fist fighting, realistic sounds and cool music brings Tekken 3 blazingly alive in the sound area.
Aiming is accomplished through holding the SQUARE button, some weapons default to a first person view while others maintain their top-down aspect and Snake simply pivots in place and auto-locks onto the target nearest.
1. This game is perfect. Period.
Items and weaponry: There are PLENTY of items to use in Diablo II. Crossbows, swords, potions, axes bows, spears, you name it. And they are every where. You will probly find yourself filling your inventory in a matter of minutes with weapons and potions. And if you have extra items or ones you can't use then just sell them. One very helpful item is the Town portal scroll with wich you can open a portal to the nearest town(usefull for escaping from large battles when you are cornered or low on health and health potions). All this is not with out a problem. The inventory could be much bigger. However that is only a minor problem. Weapons usage: I really like the way they have set up weapons usage. When you find weapons you may not be able to use them right away because they may be unidentified. This can be fixed with Identity Scrolls. Also weapons require you charecter to be atleast at a certain EXP LVL(Expiriance Level). They also require certain Degrees of strength or dexterity. This keeps you from simply grabbing the best item you see and they blasting your way through the game(this being a good thing as it allows for strategy). Also, weapons degrade in durabilty with usage. This means that you can't just pick your best weapon and use it for ever. You have to compramise and think and balance your weapon usage. Durabily can be replenished at a blacksmith.

6120 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been a Pokemon fan since Red, Blue, and Yellow, and have been waiting for an opportunity to get my hands on Green version for YEARS!
5712 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Although a lot of people liked this game I hated it. For one thing this game was WAAAAYYYYYY too easy (I beat this game in three days playing only 1 hour a day! The first game had me playing for mounths! )! You're supposed to find this fairy to give you all your powers back, and yet you start the game with all your powers! Plus I don't care how good the graphics are, Rayman does NOT look good in 3D and does not belong in 3D! So get the first game, I don't recomend this game to ANYONE! And you know what's worse? This Nintendo 64 vertion looks WORSE and plays WORSE than the Dreamcast vertion! Now that's sad (Even though I never liked N64).
The music is also of the same incredible quality and will easily immerse you in the tropical atmospheric themes underlying the games setting on DK Isle with the soft flowing aquatic ambiance or the immediate danger of mine cart carnage. But the final prize goes to the gameplay which is the most fluid and seamless I've ever seen in a platformer. You can literally span across levels at breakneck speeds performing barrel roles and jumps that just don't operate with as much functionality in other contemporaries and even games today. And let's not forget the story, simple and perfectly fitting for a game of it's type.
The Bad:
There are new places you get to travel around, at the airport, in buildings etc! See, its much better when you play online to tell you the truth. Meet new people and even play with your friends. Go one on one with each other or teams. Get to pick out your own weapons and gender and even vote which level to go to. This is pretty much like Socom on PS2.
It makes sense to have you complete all the stories to get the final story, It was repeated for a few until 2006. We ALL know what happened then.
2625 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love gameboys. Ive had a gameboy pocket, advance, and advance sp. I should have bought another sp just because of the backlight. Other than not being bright the gameboy color is good. It is a nice size and very durable. I would suggest getting collectible or one with the battery cover. Mine was a little dirty but i'm sure i can clean it off. Very nice and love the blue color. It lasts longer on batterys than rechargeable. But i have rechargeable AA's so it isn't a problem.
6275 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Planescape: Torment is a great RPG, in the truest sense of the genre. You play the Nameless One, a confused but apparently immortal (in the sense of if you die, you don't die for good) wanderer of the planes, whose very flesh tells the tale of his endless struggles. You are turned loose into a world that bears only a passing and vague resemblance to any other D&D or RPG realm you may have encountered, and that is filled with endless mysteries and characters. I've never played another game where you can spend an hour talking to the other NPCs in your party (let alone in the rest of the world), earning experience and knowledge for what you uncover about their lives, and never feel like you're bored. There are plenty of fights but no sense of tedious hack-and-slash, and it's difficult to emphasize just how convoluted and intricate both the plot and the game systems really are. As an example, at one point my Nameless character was festooned with power-granting tattoos, dual classed as a thief-mage, and clubbing his enemies with a severed limb from one of his own previous incarnations. I mean, come on!
I also would have enjoyed a create-a-player mode. However, this game is the best fun golfing can offer with its many courses, characters, and game modes.
6009 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Had enough of your real life? Had enough of The Sims? Then get your computer chewing on Diablo II as soon as possible. Every second you delay keeps you from enjoying another creative wonder from Blizzard. Be prepared to use your brain as well. This game will force you to make important decisions before and during gameplay. While this may frustrate some lazy gamers, Blizzard knew that a little extra strategy and a lot of user choices are all part of a great gaming experience...(plus an Amazon in shining armor).

So, what do you do with a game like Civilization II: Multiplayer Gold Edition, which wasn't even state of the art ten years ago? (This version was released about a year after the original, and is not substantially different, except for some bug fixes and lots of scenarios.)
9780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a very good game. This brings back memories when i was a kid trying to beat this game on my PS2 which is capable to play PS1 games. The story's great the controls are great everything about this game is fun. I recommend you buy this if you're a Resident Evil Fan.
There are so many things that make this game so addictive,.
I played this game a lot when it was released on sega, even bought the joystick controller to more simulate the arcade.
3989 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game excellent story addictive
6057 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I do like pastoral games, but this one was just a shade too soporific for me. I got about halfway through before I realized that I just didn't care if the aliens destroyed Earth or not. Bad sign!
Even outdated, this game stands the test of time. You have games today (not all of them, I'm not being politically correct, so bite me!) that all you do is... you guessed it, kill people. Doom not only had you kill monsters (and with bloodlust), you had to find the right key to open the door, face MORE monsters lurking behind it, and work your way through seemingly endless labyrinths. Sound hard? Yes, but that's the idea; this is a prime example of the way a first-person shooter game should be done. It's a shame that future games didn't follow a similar formula (although Red Faction and Half-Life are your best bets of today). In any case, Doom is a classic and should NEVER be forgotten. Grab your BFG and perhaps a Rocket Launcher and HUNT THIS GAME DOWN. You won't regret it.
7942 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was released in the early 90's, a time in which video game makers still focused more on fun gameplay rather than graphics and sound. These days it seems more and more video game makers just want bragging rights for the best graphics and sound, therefore abandoning the most important aspect of the game; rushing out games that are clearly not finished and very little regard to actual gameplay.
The levels are designed nicely. It isn't anything amazing, but it is still very nice to look at. The enemies, however, are designed very uniquely. My favorite design for the enemies is the design used for the last, normal level, right before Gnasty Gnorc. Insomniac did a good job with the PlayStation hardware.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Imagine the closest thing to going head-to-head with a friend with your party against his/hers. Your enemies have the same strengths and weaknesses your characters have. You can exploit their weaknesses while they will try to exploit your weaknesses. Got a summoner in your party? Watch those knights coming in - they'll get in their two sword blows and your summoner will be dead before he even gets to move. Wouldn't you do the same if the enemy party had a summoner? This is a sample of what it may seem like when you are playing this game. It is a challenge. The game is focused on battles and character management. Yeah, and you can customize your characters so much in this game. You learn abilities for each character, make them a certain class, equip their abilities and items, etc. The possibilities in the characters you can create are endless. It is so technically deep.
Last, but not least, the AI in this game is excellent. Guards overhear struggles and help out their comrades in arms. Guards who find blood on the ground will become suspicious and start looking for you. How long the guards spend looking for you depends upon how obvious you have made it that you are in the neighborhood.
I missed the original "Twin Blaster" and "Wing Damage" voice effects. The new music also sounds rather corny, as are the villains.
8139 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have to be honest....this game is so fun I like it better then all the other marios that are out today! Iv played just about every mario. Its so easy but so hard lol. Its fun!!!

6014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although alot of people hated this game because of the random dungens and stuff like that, and never really had the patience to sit down and PLAY the game and imidietly decided the story went no where. I pity those people. After over 2 months of playing this game I was happy out of what I received from it! Not only did it give me quite a challenge, but it also gave me hours of fun! Although it did annoye me with how much I had to battle to boost my experience points, when I finally got to my destination I was pleased I worked with it! Now it doesn't compeat with "Finale Fantasy" or other RPG's like that, but I did find myself playing one of the best RPG's still! I truly hope everyone who dismissed this game as too boring will give it another chance to see the beauty of this game! Plus with some of the best graphics I've seen makes this another one to get just for that! I can't wait to play "Evolution 2: Far Off Promise," and hopefully we'll get a "Evolution 3!"
8093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Duke Nukem:Time to Kill is a great game. However, it's not the best Duke game out there, but is one of the better ones. TTK offers you a huge variety of weapons and with over 28 missions, you'll be occupied. It feals as if is a cross between Tomb Raider and Duke. Overall, it kicks serious ass! This is one to buy.
1411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 is one of the best games ever. It's a classic, no Mario fan should be without it. Now, onto the reveiw:
The sounds in this game is pretty good, making you feel as if you are in the middle of an entertainment park. You can hear the screaming of people on the roller coaster, the tune of the Merry-go-Round, the noise of the crowd, and so on.
The marvelous, although slow moving, plot is incorporated into a fully interactive, 3D environment, which the player is able to investigate thoroughly due to a camera that is able to be manipulated. The player can move the camera around much like the camera in a 1st person shooter, allowing investigation of intricate spots such as under a desk or inside a dumb waiter shaft. What makes this locale-investigation so delightful is that each of the environments looks absolutely gorgeous, barring the occasional obviously 2-D tree or clearly polygonal hill.
I'd go over the antogonist but i don't want this review/retrospectic go be much longer.
To summarize...
The closest game I've played is Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility for Wii for anyone whos interested, but that one also has some faults.
Completing a mission here takes hours and brings a great feeling of accomplishment. Also, there is a wonderful focus on exploration. Be patient...
Man, was I in for a surprise.
5353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought this for a Sega Saturn, and it worked great with no issues. A great replacement if you need one.
Yes, I'm talking about that famous, dreaded water puzzle near the end of the game. Honestly, the best way to successfully finish the darn puzzle is to just look up all the possible solutions on the internet, and then write them down. I found seven different answers so far. Don't feel ashamed for having to look up the answers. This is one of those rare nearly-possible puzzles that you shouldn't feel bad about for not being able to understand it. Don't get me wrong- once you find out how to do the puzzle, it's easy. But if you happen to be mostly familiar with Resident Evil 2, and think you can go through the game on your own without a walkthrough, looking up help will probably be the best idea when you finally arrive to this puzzle. You'll be glad when it's finished!
The storyline is even better. Most good RPGs have more than just one single character. This game however only has Link and still manages to become a classic like most of the other Zelda titles. No this game is no Final Fantasy IIV, but in a way this game is better. Maybe not as long, but the storyline is a little bit more creative and catchy.
Other features include the ability to buy new boards and perform aerial trick to earn extra cash. Money earned during a race can also be used to "buy" weapon items encased in boxes littered throughout a course. I also ought to mention the music; it's wonderful!!! It features bubbley techno music reminiscent of dance/pop groups like Aqua. You'll dig the energy the music provides.
Replay Value: 9
4055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game, [it] scares me [so bad]! I never had that happen before, and i'm only talking about single player mode. Multi player rocks!
Probably the most disturbing aspect of the AI in this game is how easily the guests get lost. One of the maps has a beautiful flower garden arranged in columns with one aisle going down the center, and guests entering that will never find their way out. You can build a perfectly feasible real-world map and end up with an RCT-world mess. Often a creative solution is available, though.
Dirt2 came in as a nice and pleasant surprise. Dirt3 tops it off.
Later
As you earn more coins and treasures, you could change the game's ending scene depending on how much you have. Wario could buy several different representations of his money-wise condition, from poor (Birdhouse) to extremely mouth-watering rich (Mansion).
The bonus materials included on the discs are also excellent. There wasn't much for FF5, except for the introductory CG sequence (and maybe the ending, I'm not sure). As for FF6, they added a section where you can see dozens of pieces of artwork for the remake of the game, as well as convenient tables of skills and monsters in the game.
9120 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you for making my heart happy, excellent product
Max Payne has definitely been worth the wait.
I'm not going to say that the graphics are bad, especially not at a first glance, but SA uses a very dull color palette consisting of almost limelight tints where the shirts of thugs will appear too green for their own good and the palette loves to over-use the color gray... a lot. You'll encounter a lot of gray backgrounds in this game save for maybe the park levels which actually resemble forests.

129 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We plugged this microphone into the Wii and it just worked. We find USB easier to deal with on the Wii than using the microphone jack.
There are plenty of secrets in this game, and in some places you can open 2 ways to go by using a key. There's a secret star area where you can teleport from stars quickly and there's also a secret upgrading area, so you can easily upgrade to cape-Mario and get a Yoshi. (or collect hundreds of extra life)
6170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had great memories with this game system. WWF No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000, Super Mario 64...so many great titles on this system. The only complaint I have is the awkward controller. I mean sure it works, but Nintendo needs to stop with the gimmick controllers and just stick to the basics. Anyways this is a great console to own and there are plenty of games to collect for it.
284 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great to deal with. Got exactly what we ordered and in a very timely fashion. Trustworthy vendor for ordering product.
9023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A Classic Game for those who loved the older ones. It is recommended for those who loved DKC all together. I had to recently by a brand new system because mine got too old to play on. It's well worth it though. This, DKC2, and DKC3 are the best games for the SNES. I also do recommend Yoshi's Island as well.
Buy this game if you have SNES. It is easily one of the top 5 for SNES.
Final Fantasy VI is a game where the job classes are somewhat "built in," and the game features at least 12 playable characters. The jobs are built in, because each character has unique "job commands." Locke has a "steal" command, Terra can do magic early in the game where it is not readily available. The plot is really good in this FF game, and it is easily in my personal top 5 of video games I've ever played.
Mega Man 8 is a truly entertaining installment to the series I highly recommend it to anyone collecting classic games.
Overall (score 7/10): NOTE this score is not an average; it's my subjective overall score. It's a real shame that this game is held back by so many gameplay issues; otherwise it would've been excellent. The whole game really feels like a diamond in the rough. If you are an RPG enthusiast and can overlook this game's rough edges, then I still suggest you pick up Jade Cocoon. It's worth a look if only for its unique story and atmosphere.
8281 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Froze every 2 seconds and that's If I was lucky enough to get it started. Good condition was hardly the correct description for this game.
6414 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game. Simple to manipulate and it makes you feel like you are God. Great too if you like this age in history.
8572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
4332 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great. Even though it is pretty old, it is still a super sick game to play. Fun and challenging. and if it's too hard you can use cheats to help you. Good fun.
Story: ***** (The plot twists, the depth in the story, the emotions...its AMAZING)
While that alone should be enough, I guess I'll tell you why.
2308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played this game all the way through about 4 times and it never gets old! It's such an entertaining game. If you don't own this game I would highly recommend it. The game shipped quickly and there was virtually no damage to the disk or the box.
4246 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Emperor loves his violence. Games without the satisfying spray of bodily fluids and the rumble of entire city blocks don't usually satiate his dark urges.
-Interesting story
Unfortunately, the game does fizzle in a few places. It uses the same "sound as wallpaper" approach to background music, so there isn't a single nanosecond that isn't drenched in bland New Age elevator muzak. Some of the weapons don't have convincing sounds, like the Tetryon Gatling Gun; you'd think it was shooting soap bubbles. Not only that, but you're limited to only two types of ammunition for eight different weapons, so if you run out of one of those two, half your arsenal's kaput. And worst of all, at some points, you have to LISTEN to the boring regular VOYAGER cast members while they spout off about unimportant crap. That one's easy enough to fix, though, if you do what I do; turn the sound off and wait it out.
9745 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 his wee little cannon up your arsenal! This game has to be one of the best games ever for the Playstation. The cinematics for this game is truly funny, and one gets to witness a cute little tank go psycho on the producer of the commercial. Additionally, the storyline is exceptionally deep, and actually follows the suit: the creator becomes the destructor, and it applies to both the good and bad sides. The control of the tank is very fluid. Additionally, as one progresses through the levels, one gains the attire of fallen bosses. The camera angles are actually very good as well. You generally won't get broadsided generally, and the radar is fairly accurate. The two major faults of this game is that the game areas are entirely too small generally and the graphics is somewhat primitive, even for the Playstation. On the first issue, the game designers attempted to increase the size of levels, but one has to wait for the second part of the level to load. Overall, the game levels are fun, especially when you slide down Mutank Mountain or launch Tiny into space on the Space Track. One last commendable feature: the music video of "Tank Boy," especially commendable during our current War on Terrorism.
First off its extremely hard not just because of the constant barrage of enemies you face but the controls I think may have been designed by a programmer with a really bad sense of humor! The characters do not respond and sometimes feel glitchy and too perform the easiest of moves it takes a very odd button combination. So fighting the constant flow of enemies is super annoying and frustrating! And also the SNES is known for having great soundtracks and sound quality in its games, not here, there are literally 2 tracks through out the game! 0_o
You must judge this game against the others from that era (doing it against today's Madden games is just ridiculous), and in that comparison it's one of the best. You've got the full season, pro bowl and exibition options. Pretty basic.
Cons:
So most people who have played this game have gotten the Lazy Shell armor and Lazy Shell weapon. However, few have bothered to get the Super suit. The Super Suit can be received in Monstro Town if you have completed 100 super jumps in a row. Doing this takes practice, patience, concentration and mastery. I myself have gotten it several times. The other item you get is the Attack Scarf. If you outfit Mario with the Super Suit armor, the Lazy Shell weapon, and the Attack Scarf, no enemy will be able to kill you. It's as simple as that. The Lazy Shell armor can then be given to Princess, making her virtually invincible as well.
Many will try to argue that the PS1 version is the definitive home version of this game; but I beg to differ. It's only the most played version probably because it was on the most powerful system at the time. No home console could support the arcade engine, so of coarse the graphics would not be as good and many sounds and effects would have to be left out, so the PS1 being the bigger system compared to the SNES and Sega systems, of coarse it was going to be presumed it was the best version, the closest to the arcade. But I can tell you, it's actually not.
After a few months of saving I had enough money, and I bought the Playstation, a memory card, and Final Fantasy 7.
1435 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 was one of the first games for the Nintendo 64 and to this day is one of the best. Mario 64 is the be-all and end-all of 3-d platforming. Mario has 120 stars to collect in many different worlds. Mario swims, flies, jumps, runs and crawls. This game is immense fun, and definitively replayable. A masterpeice by Shigeru Miyamoto.
In this game, you'll experience many different emotions for the characters, you'll fight hideously powerful bosses, find two secret characters, even breed Chocobos like you could in previous Final Fantasy games! And don't forget that you can even enter them in races as well! There are just so many more reasons to call this game classic, so I recommend you find it and have huge loads of fun!
All 13 civilzations are wonderfully balanced. Unique units for each are an especially nice touch. And the ages that you advance through provide a new element of strategy (for instance, you will never even consider attacking with the Turks in the early stages because of their advantange in the later stages; likewise, the Britons and Persians are ideal for a quick win because of their advantages in earlier ages. Once you advance with them, you'll find that they don't have the "strength" needed to pull ahead, though I have devised numerous strategies for the Britions that will allow victory in the late ages).
5065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unreal Tournament is an exciting and fluent first-person shooter that exemplifies technical excellence in any game of its nature. Unlike Quake III, the action is not limited to a single deathmatch; rather, it has five different types of gameplay styles that make Unreal Tournament a much more entertaining and compelling experience. Unreal Tournament is a satisfying game that is compelling and tense, resulting in a game worthy of high praise.
9380 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One word "Wow". This game is uinique in so many aspects I don't even think I can list them all. First off the game overall is one of the best shooters I have ever played. The reason for this is because the story and action are so perfectly intertwined with one another that the game comes off as almost flawless. Remedy decided to take the shooter genre to new hights by adding inovating gameplay, including the awesome Matrix Style slow mo. The graphics and sound of Max Payne are amazing. Its really cool how they take peoples faces and litterally put them onto the characters. With so much action, style, and an interesting story Max Payne is definetly a game that NO SHOOTER FAN should miss.
9547 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just what I wanted.
1256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best platform game I've played, and eliminates all down sides of its two prequels. You're a bandicoot and jump on / spin baddies you encounter. This game is kind of like old Mario games, but has awesome graphics. They've added a type of box to the prequel and give one move, such as bazooka or tornado death spin, for each boss. The game is easy to beat, but offers extras for breaking all the boxes or beating a level quickly. It's extremely difficult to collect all of them. I recommend this game for everyone, especially people with a lot of free time on their hands.
Now I like Red Altert and Red Alert 2 more than I like this game but thats not to say that this game is bad, you have to get up preety early in the mroning to get the drop on those 2.
After 3 years, the man's parents come to rate how he's done, depending on how well the farm is doing. There are 4 seasons, each consisting of 30 days. There are 120 days in a Harvest Moon year, and around 5 minutes in each day. As the seasons change the events, vegetables, scenery and people's dialogues change as well. There are new events every year.
2504 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 do i really need to say anything else? classic duke nukem game. one of the first i played for the playstation. great fps with decent graphics for its time. and of course the classic duke nukem "battle cries" always make me laugh.
Scary Skeleton Goonies!
7014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome game thanks
Graphics: For it being an Original Game Boy game, the graphics are great. The only things better they could have done for the graphics and creatures is I see a few creatures on the cover that I don't think where actually in the game itself and the graphics for the last boss: The Genie, the graphics are terrible being the last boss, and they shouldn't make each boss opening be waves and several other weird intros that have nothing to do with what the action in the game is about.

Blast processing to let sonic blow across the screen as fast as he wants, Sega does what Nintendont. Sonic, the icon of Sega a true Video game Hero and the most important part of video games for many people everywhere.

Complaining about the graphics? Sorry, the game isn't on XBOX or Playstation format. In 1998, this game had state-of-the-art graphics. As I am in the process of beating this game for a third time in 2011, I still don't find the graphics something to complain about.
But if none of those map suit you fancy, there's always the Map Editor. This is my personal favorite option. You can literally create a map, doing everything that the programmers could do, except for the cinematic sequences. The triggers in the Map Editor allow you to make guns pop out of the floor, open doors, bring in reinforcements, kill units that go to a certain area, or start a team(s) with buildings or units. The options are limitless, the only thing stopping you in making the scenarios is the number of hours in the day.

All in all, Final Fantasy VII is a game that I highly highly recommend that everyone(and I do mean everyone) should play-at least once-even if you're not into RPGs. It'll definitely give you a better understanding of RPGs and why people love playing them so much.
8427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars is an RPG for the Super Nintendo. It is made by both Nintendo and Square. This is also one of the best games on the Super Nintendo.
1859 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I got this for my early birthday,I didn't expect that the character would be so cute! Crash is adorable,which will get you hooked on for about an hour,the fun for another,and the hard for minus a second. Even though it is difficult,you'll enjoy looking in those eyes,and playing.
Sakura
Granted the graphics do not stack up to todays graphics but the graphics do not make the game to begin with. Its the storytelling its what draws us in as gamers its the thrill of it all and knowing that we have played something that is really interesting and unique.
You can only play one character (the nameless one) but he is
4903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Konami's Suikoden has always been by favorate RPG series next to Final Fantasy. Though the only reason I put FF above it is because of graphics. Suikoden's battle system is pretty tight. You fight with 6 characters at a time instead of the traditional 3. Once your characters get pretty strong, you'll never have to waste much time on weaker enemies. You can just hit auto, and all 6 charcters will attack at once. Runes suppy a character with magic. Though unlike most RPGs where magic is just a non-physical attack, in Suikoden magic is pretty powerful. Therefore the number of times you use it in battle is limited. Suikoden features up to 200 characters. Some returning from the first, others brand new. Of course, when dealing with that many characters the only true difference between them is their appearance, weapons and background. There battle options would pretty much be the same. Some characters can do speacial tag -team like moves with each other. {Example: Father and son etc}
SPIDER-MAN
3154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't even know where to begin. This is the game that made me want a PlayStation in the first place. The story....jeez, it's better than most books. It has so much, so many twists, and lots of unexpected surprises, that once you finish this great game, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll go to everyone and say "I JUST BEAT FINAL FANTASY 7! YES!" It's that good. The FMV is excellent, I wouldn't expect anything else for Sqaresoft, and the music fits the mood. The in-game graphics could use some work. They have blocks for hands and have no mouths, but it's the graphics are not THAT important. With battle, don't expect this to be a shooter or anything, the battle system is called Turned based. That means that each character has a meeter, and when it fills up, they can attack, cast magic, summon a monster, or whatever. One annoying thing about battles, is that when you walk around, there are too many random battles. One fun thing to do is equiping weapons, armor, and materia. Materia is the magic get to use. It's also the summons. The game world is HUGE. It is. And there is so much to do, that the list is nameless, and it's just like a real world. There is also a place where you can breed chocobos, they are giant birds. Doing this takes a long time, but it's very rewarding. THat's just one of the things you can do. Trust me, GET THIS GAME!
9890 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great classic game for the Genesis and is a very close port of the arcade game. The graphics might not be quite as good as the SNES version but the music is far superior and the gameplay and animation r also much more refined and responsive. The game isn't very long, but its long enough. You can use Iron Man, Captain America, Vision (a less common Avenger) and Hawkeye, Each character has their own abilities fighting style and such. The game could have bit a little bit longer because it was a lot of fun and all. Some of the coolest parts in the game are when your character is flying through space, or over cities just like in the current movie and you gotta blast your way through hordes of enemies in pure arcade style. Great game from Data East, great game if your a fan of Marval, great game if your a fan of video games in general.
1984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a fun game to battle against your friends. up to 4 players can play at a time. this is one fun game to have.
4543 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really like this game here. Sure it's a little cheesy but the graphics make up for it. They are very colorful and are such a nice departure from the dark and gloomy Resident evil type locals. I would describe it as Resident Evil in a Chrono Cross setting, very tropical.
First I tried the Sega Genesis. The wavy connection was instant so then I tried it with my NES to see if it was just the Sega. It wasn't. The connection was just as bad. I played for a while on my Genesis and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse the color went out in the middle of gameplay! Now not only was it a wavy connection with interference waves running across the screen, it was also in black & white. We played for a few more minutes and it looked like the color might have been coming back in but by then I was so frustrated I put in the regular Genesis hookup. The picture then looked clear and great on the newer TV.
9673 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect game i loved it as a child and i love it as a adult. It was delivered very fast and before it was estimated. Very pleased with this order and will buy from them again
If I'm not mistaken, this is an aftermarket expansion pak. I've heard some bad things about the Tomee controllers floating around, but the expansion pak actually seems to work pretty well. I bought one produced by InterAct (a more reputable third-party manufacturer) years ago, and there's no apparent difference in quality. As I've never owned the Nintendo version of the expansion pak, I can't really say how it compares to the first party quality. However, there shouldn't really be any difference. It's just RAM. :)
6079 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of numerous old PlayStation games that were super fun to play. Glad I found this gem. Super happy. I haven't stopped playing it! Thank you.
1601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nostalgia is a powerful thing.... While fondly remembering the more simple playstation 1 days, the playful idea of playing twisted metal 2 drove me to buy this game and I wasn't disappointed!
8. N64: Link has to recover five medallions to open Ganon's Tower.
From the very beginning gameplay is bliss. The control is spot-on. Simple to learn, fun to play. The Dual Shock controller is taken full advantage of as well. (Wait until you feel the helicopter taking off, and then wait for Psycho Mantis to prove to you he can make objects move.)
2774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an all-time classic game. I have played more puzzle games than I can count in my head and this game has by far the best puzzles of them all. The graphics, sound, and interaction of this game are stunning. The way that you have to collect information from every available source to solve a puzzle makes the game extraordinary (many puzzle games do not work that way).
So I turned it on and it starts up and all that, and firstly I did not like the controls, I was trying to get it to control like it did in DN64. But I couldn't get it to do it right. Somebody had written somewhere to muck around with it on the training level for about 20 minutes to get the feel of the controls and it becomes easy. So I did just that, and it's true. You do get used to it and I do like the way it handles on DUKE control setting (default). You aim your gun or look around etc with the control stick, move forward, back, up & down with the yellow C buttons, open doors with the shoulder R button, toggle through your weapons using left or right on the direction pad, toggle through your items using up and down on the D-pad, and turn on and off your items with the shoulder R button. The controls handle very well once you get used to it and it is very responsive.
4632 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is nothing for me to say that already hasn't been said by the other reviewers. Just know that if you like rpg's at all then you'll most likely love Fallout.
The plot of the game is the same as the movie, with some new locations added; there are even clips from the movie interspersed throughout the gameplay. Woody has been stolen by Al, the scheming toy collector, and now Buzz and friends have to get him back for Andy. You take on the role of Buzz and move around the neighborhood trying to find Woody, while completing tasks for different familiar characters from the films.
The main things which bother me about this game is that it could improve 1. Contain more stunts i mean 15 stunts isn't much for a motocross game. 2. Make it that you can control the time limit for the stunt course, i mean 2 minutes, c'mon. 3. Make the controls easier.
Great Stealth action
In actual gameplay, a lot of what you do is travel from place to place and quest. Sometimes you encounter people who want to talk to you and sometimes you run into a pack of monsters to kill. The interface reminds me a bit of Diablo, but the games are not clones of each other, I assure you.
At the time these were really good graphics. They couldn't stand up to Soul Calibur, but it was still solid. Many problems lie within the graphics though. The level design is poor. The Adventure Zones are small and yet have a loading screen every time you walk through a door. Action Zones are sometimes better, like in Twinkle Park, but not usually. The camera has all kinds of problems. You will become annoyed very quickly if you find yourself in a small room and the camera is caught. The graphics are smooth and have some good details, but overall the level design is just ugly.
There are few downpoints though, even in a game of this standard. The direct x graphics mode is terrible, and the open GL is not compatible with my card, even though open GL works fine with my card in other games. More general pitfalls are that it takes time to get going - there's no way to skip the intro which isn't that relevant to what's going on anyway. The first few levels provide little entertainment. 3/4 of the way through, you get thrown into some alien planet, which almost stops the game dead. It sometimes feels a bit linear as well.
Like all NBA JAMs, totally outrageous basketball from start to finish. You can expect anything and everything in this one from more out of this world dunks to being "On Fire" shooting and of course the newly added alley oops and free throws. Yes that's right, no more shoving your opponents all over the place because now they get 2 foul shots, each worth 3 points a piece (and even Shaq can hit these free throws!)
6484 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great series
Good Graphics
1270 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The original Grand Theft Auto was a classic for the PC, but it's gleefully unabashed violence, simple graphics, dark humor, and addictive gameplay garnered the game much appeal and controversy. Eventually Take 2 Interactive (now they're called Rockstar) published GTA on as many systems as it could: the PS1, Dreamcast, and even the Game Boy Color. These days anyone and everyone are GTA nuts, but only when it comes to GTA 3 or Vice City. The original GTA may seem simple enough, but it is undeniably fun for the most part, no matter how simplistic the graphics seem. The missions can get rather tedious, and the fact you can't save your progress in game (a problem which would be corrected in GTA 3), and eventually you'll lose interest, but for the most part the original GTA is still loads of fun. Those who have only played GTA 3 or Vice City will not like this original installment, but it's a great ride while it lasts.
Go back to the time when this action rpg ruled the world. It still does, because it's still fun and awesome (and see how long your sucky ass lasts in hell mode baby!).
Chuck
the only downfall is that if you have Pac-man world 2 for GAMECUBE or PS2 you going to be slightly disappointed because Pac-man world 2 is way better
Plays on Playstation 1-3
Having replayed it recently the only drawback I can find with this game is the AI. While not necessarily bad, once I got used to the game mechanics again the AI is just a bit too easy even on the highest difficulty setting. I don't know if thats because the AI hasn't aged well, or I just played this game so much that I know it inside and out, not to mention help from all the other strategy games I've had practice with in the intervening years.
This game is the best "first person" Trek experience ever made, and "Klingon Academy" is the best starship combat simulation ever made. Both are utterly immersive, tremendous fun, and draw you into a story-telling experience.
Now, I'm playing more mature games. Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games for the Gamecube counsel. Along with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarine of Time/Twilight Princess, and Hitman 2. But after playing thouse games on the sparkling Gamecube counsel, I turned my gaze to the dusty, gray Playstation, and out popped Spyro again!
5127 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are comparing this to Quake 3, then take note that the level design in UT is much better, and this keeps the game very interesting. Q3 levels seem cramped in comparison. This game totally surprised me at how addictive it is.
The game starts with Kyle escaping from a death trap on the moon of Nar Shadda, laid by the mercenary droid 8T-88 whom he must find in order to retrieve the lost disk. As Kyle you must fight your way trough legions of blaster-toting and thermal detonator throwing grans and quick, trigger happy rodians in order to achieve your objectives. Running, ducking and a fine sense of balance are needed to make your way through the first three Nar Shadda levels and once the disk has been found, Kyle must escape Imperial reenforcements with the help of his best friend, Jan Ors, (played by the stunning Angela Harrie). It is after the escape that Kyle has his first vision, a visitation by the Jedi Knight Qu Rahn (Benoit Gregory), who tells him of Jerrik's evil plan and encourages Kyle to become a Jedi.
6777 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For starters i bought this game because i am a huge lion king fan and i love old video games. I was going to buy it on amazon but i thought it was too much for an old video game. I am glad i found it at a used game store for $3. This game is good but not $12 worth of your money. For one the graphics are pretty good and the sound is amazing for the sega genesis. But i found the game difficult to play. The controls are a little hard to handle. They don't respond quick enough sometimes. It took me a while to get past the first 4 levels. Now i find it pretty easy. But now i am stuck on the 5th level i cant figure out what i have to do. But overall this game is great. Buy this game if you are a lion king fan. But don't pay more than $5 for it.

Nintendo should have noticed this defect and corrected it before releasing Mario Party. But don't let that stop you from buying it. It's still a great game; just don't forget to buy a glove!
-When you're in 1st, you get crappy items. When you're last, you get the best ones, usually landing you in 1st/2nd/3rd
The game play was awful.
The realism is powerful, and the improved 3D graphics make this one game that will no doubt live forever in the PC gaming hall of fame. What makes this game different from all other flight sims is the campaign mode. In the last decade and even now, nothing has even come close to the feeling of building your pilot up in rank, status, and medals. When your pilot dies, you feel awful, especially after days and even weeks, of intense combat and intrigue, (Sometimes other famous pilots, like the Red Baron, will write you a letter and challenge you to a duel!). The campaign doesn't drag on either, because the war ends as it did in real life in 1918, so you can retire your score to the hall of fame board and start over trying to beat your last pilot.
If you want a great racing game for your N64, I highly recommend that you check out Mario Kart 64.
7205 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 just like the original graphics and all
8172 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World is an instant classic from the opening demo. Quite possibly the deepest SNES game to date. It's lenthy, it's great for those who have alot of Free time writing reviews. Here's the Bottom Line For Super Mario World.
Artius has entrapped his two sons inside the books where they cannot escape. His sons had betrayed him and Artius himself is nowhere to be found. The search for the pages is the main point of the game and the puzzles vary in difficulty. A nice feature was the "help" options which gave you hints on solving things or the out right solution, if you were stuck.
There were also ports on the PC and Dreamcast with slightly better graphics, higher frame rate and an art gallery. There was even a port on the Game com. It was a s***ty 2D black and white handheld console by Tiger. That port is just pathetic; Im not even going to discuss it. The best port however is the Nintendo 64 version. The sound on the Nintendo 64 version is better than the PlayStations version, it has updated graphics, new costumes, a setting to adjust the violence and blood color, a more responsive aiming control scheme, new files, cheat codes to give you infinite health and ammo and the most interesting feature of all is a randomizer to place items differently during each playthrough so it definitely has more variety. The only thing its missing is the Extreme Battle mini game. But this port is equally as good as the PlayStations version.
The world is huge, lots of explorable areas with side quests and storylines. I spent alot of time raising the Chocobos and racing them to get the Gold Choco so I can access the caves that contained important and powerful items and materia.
Batman Forever was based off of a movie, but the game is actually fairly good. Unfortunately, there are flaws.
Gameplay (score 5/10): This is a bit of a catch-all category for me. Sigh, this is where this game takes it in the rear-end. Jade Cocoon has the worst movement system of any RPG I've ever played. Remember those old tank-like controls that infested early Resident Evil games? Jade Cocoon has these! Why?! Basically, Levant slowly pivots left and right, and pushing "up" goes forward no matter what direction he's facing in. It's a good thing the battles are turn-based or this would really be a problem. It is, however, a bit of a problem in the forests because there are on-screen enemies that are very hard to dodge with these controls. If you hold down the Triangle button Levant will run straight forward. Once you get used to this you can hold down Triangle and sort of steer him left and right, but it always feels awkward. In addition to those problems, the actual button layout is irritatingly non-standard. The Circle button opens the main menu and the Triangle button backs out of the menu. If you've played many Final Fantasies (as well as many other RPGs), you expect that to be the opposite. Aside from the button scheme, the actual menus used to do anything are not terribly intuitive and are more convoluted than necessary. For example, if you go to the shop, first you have to listen to the shopkeeper make random chit chat, then you got to a buy/sell/exit menu, then you can select buy to get something. Sounds simple enough, but no. If you select an item, you then have to put in an extra "yes I'm sure" confirmation. Then when you want to leave the shop, you can't just hit Triangle to back out, you have to select "Exit" and then listen to the shopkeeper give you some farewell chatting. This problem is especially bad when you are talking to Mahbu (Levant's wife) who basically manages your monsters for you. Whenever you need to do something with her, there's a bunch of confirmations to jump through. This isn't a huge deal breaker of a problem, but these little extra confirmations are everywhere and they slow down the gameplay. It just makes the game feel unpolished and for a monster-raising sim, such a slow management system is unacceptable. On top of all the things previously mentioned, the gameplay is a bit repetitive in that there's a very simple village-forest, village-forest, village-forest pattern and you don't every get to go anywhere else. This isn't too bad though because the game is pretty short; so it ends before the repetition drives you mad. All things considered, what keeps this game from being fantastic are purely all these gameplay issues.
All in all this game is a lot of fun, it's not as good as FFVII which i believe is the best Final Fantasy since the first on the NES (which is a classic that everybody should get in some capacity). Definitely get this game, but FFVII should be first on your priorities.
Don't have a super nintendo to play this on? GET ONE
4557 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 lets face it, the graphics are awful compared to what we're used to these days but even now the game is still a ton of fun and worth playing again. check out the new THPS HD version on the xbox360 and ps3 for some nostalgia with better gameplay
It starts out simple enough. You catch a few slow monkeys and learn your gadgets thru tutorials. But then it gets difficult. My 3 year old daughter loves to sit on the bed with spare control in hand and help catch monkeys. The graphics are nice and the storyline is fun. The gadgets are cool too.
8293 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE SNES BUT I DON'T PLAY IT THAT MUCH IT'S KINDA BORING,,,IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR 20 YRS AGO THO FOSHO
Anyway, buy this game, its sure to delight.
My only guess is that this "challenge" gamers frequently speak of is the difficulty in finding all the weapons and other important items because, to be fair, MANY of the weapons and items in Super Metroid are hidden quite well. Without a walkthrough it's easy to miss something, even if you walk past the same area a hundred times. This is where your weapons, such as the power bomb, come in handy. Many of the secret areas throughout the planet require a power bomb to break through sections of a wall, and some of these places are where you least expect, because many times there's no sign something is hidden.
but I have a question, PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS ANSWER IT!!
4095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sure there are many great first person simulations out there right now. But by any measure this is one of the best. I can get really caught up in this game. I have jumped out of my seat (in fear) and really enjoyed knocking off anybody (or anything) that does not wish me good health. If you liked Doom, Quake, etc. Than buy this game right now!
9980 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Is "Super Street Fighter 2" The Street Fighter Game That Introduces 4 New Characters:Cammy,T.Hawk,Dee Jay And Feilong For The Sega Genesis,Although The Opening Montage Stays Faithful To The Arcade Version The Game Suffers From Missing Frames Of Animation Poor Audio And Very Slow Action Sequences,I Bought This For My Friend His Copy Didn't Work,I Would Say That There Are Better Versions Of This Game Available (Sega Saturn,Panasonic 3DO,Playstation 1,Etc.) But If You're A Sega Genesis Enthusiast Then This Would Not Be A Bad Game To Have In Your Collection.
9746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game so much I HAD to have another copy
2666 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
1804 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got exactly what I paid for. Good quality case and game disc.
Overall, Max Payne is a true hit.
6358 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I will admit it i reserved the nintendo 64 months in advance. Sure when i got it i thought it was great, but after months of defending it against my classmates and their playstations, i decided to get my own. It by far surpasssed the n64's enjoyment. Sure the n64 has better graphics, but playstation was the better games and better sound. In my opinion nintendo aims their games for a much younger audience. Many of their games are not apealing to the 14+ crowd. Playstation provides way more games for this age group, along with games for the younger group, but they can still be injoyable for the older gamers. The playstaion controler is much better in design. The dual shock controller is the best that i have seen, but who wants to put that bulky heavy rumble pack in the back of the n64 controller? I hate the memory pack for n64, one season on qb club fills the whole thing, theres 20 bucks gone for a game that costs 60 in the first place. That brings me to another point, games are alot cheaper pn playstation, you are looking at a 20 dollar diference. If you are deciding between a playstation or a n64 i would go with the playstation. If you are buying a system for a younger gamer then i would consider the n64.
REASON #2: Nintendo had no idea that the multi-player section of this game would be just as popular to play in or more popular than the single player mode. Rare admitted in an interview after the game was released that they had no intentions of putting together a multi-player mode until later in its development stages. Though it may be limited by today's standards, you had the basics: several stages based on the single player mode, all of the weapons were available, all of the main characters plus the enemy soldiers and classic Bond villains and several game modes such as free for all death match, team death match, you only live twice (2 lives) etc. and you can select the weapons in group categories along with time limits per match. This added a lot of re-playability after you finished the single player mode.
Enough said.
2682 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The quality was listed as "Good"
The game puts you in control of one of the two main characters who, although they are best friends, have opposing destinies. When their own country betrays them for an excuse to go to war, the two start on a path to try and find their place in the world, trapped between the home that betrayed them and their sworn enemies.
I hear than this particular type of computer game, the Gabriel Knight/Phantasmagoria type, is on its way out because it takes too long to put together and does not sell as well as the bloodier arcade type games. That is not good news, because these are the only type I play. After I finish I'm going to have to go back and play again and try out some of the variations. Note: It can be very useful to save the game at different points and go back and do some variations. Getting caught snooping around can be also be fun. Bottom Line: For most of Gabriel Knight 2 with its Wagner and Werewolves has been the highpoint of the series to date. But I am more than willing to give anything Jane Jensen wants to do a try.
836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good FPS game, although multiplayer mode does lag. Highly recommend for your N64 collection. This one is a classic.
5566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mortal Kombat Gold is a very good game, but don't expect it to be a Mortal Kombat 5. They should have just called the game Mortal Kombat 4, because it is just like this one. Except in this one the graphics are better, the sound is better, there are more characters, and more levels. But it still has exactly the same plot as Mk4. The new characters aren't very good, and the modes are exactly the same as 4. While it has about 3 new levels, the rest are from Mortal Kombat 4. If you don't have Mortal Kombat 4, I would recommend getting this. But it is basically another Mortal Kombat 4 with some new features.
Little did I know I had a hospital to look foreward to. And yes, as bad as you can possibly think it could be, it's worse. And when you're done with that...you're not even halfway to the end yet.

So the Donkey Kong Rumble Pack has the following:
This is the only game of the series that is worth of any praise, not only because it did much for the industry, but because of its game play value.
So, this game has good graphics, sound, and completly different gameplay. It does have bugs, but they won't ruin it for you. You should check out this game. Now, I'm going to go play a game that you, for whatever strange reason you have, still have to purchase...
Pros
1000 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hands-down the best N64 game. Goldeneye is very similar to the movie, like the Siberian dam mission, the satellite control facility, etc.. The graphics are the best I've seen for the N64, except for Zelda 64 (the first one). The auto-aim feature and 4-person multiplayer make the game perfect for the common area of a dorm room.
It's difficult to skip some of the animated sequences that I do not want to watch at the moment.
Unless you own a controller pak you can't save the game, and the controls can be hard to understand at first but it's an excellent game.
8536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is another great game that came out during the early ninty's when Sega just released their Genesis platform. What can I say about this game? Great graphics, great music, great controls. Difficulty is not a problem it is adjustable to your skills! I usually play it on hard, just for the heck of it! My bro and I enjoy this game so much we play it all the time! (and he's 30yrs old!)
This is far from a typical RPG. From its conception, it redefined the genre and introduced the RPG to about 3 million new gamers. Saying that Final Fantasy 7 single-handedly elevated RPGs from niche to mainstream status would be far from an erraneous statement.
The game supports an Arcade mode in which you fight all of the characters in succession and ultimately fight the boss of the game, Eyedol. A training mode is available, as well as 2 player mode and a tournament mode for multiple players. There are 6 difficulty levels, but none of them are particularly easy. This game is definitely for skilled gamers or those who are willing to put in the effort to learn the game. From the first opponent in the arcade mode you have to put up a serious fight to attain victory.
9855 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I heard that Sega Rally Championship 2 was coming out for Dreaamcast, I knew I had to have it. Let's be honest. No one makes arcade racers like SEGA (except maybe Namco). So when one of their best arcade racers comes home loaded with extras, you know you're in for treat.
1597 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Been years since I had played the original game and can tell you, this brings back many good time memories! I hadn't finished the game yet, but will continue to enjoy this game!
WCW vs. NWO (My first game and it still works great!)
5411 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game was quite... what's a nice word for it... bad. I don't completely remember, but I think this game was given to me for a birthday present or something, so I do feel bad for whoever it was who gave it to me... what a waste of good money. Sure, at times it could be addicting, but it's way too repetitive and too long.
In short, the Dreamcast's price to quality ratio cannot be beaten.
Lame powers
house of the dead 2
You can get this game at some Gamestop stores, here from a seller, ebay,etc. its not that hard to find really an 15-20$ is a good deal for this game. WL4 is the easiest to get, then WL3, then WL1 (in my area) but WL2 is quite difficult to find...have fun with this game!
It's interesting that this isn't a game about combat; talking through situations will usually net you more experience than killing people left and right. As an experience it is perfect from beginning to end, and even a decade later, and with Black Isle Studios closed, it is the only game of its type that I have ever experienced.
-EXCELLENT MUSIC HERE! I'd forgotten how awesome S&K's music actually is, and is overall a step up from Sonic 3's. None are bad here and they seem closer to Sonic 2's soundtrack, especially the Flying Battery, Sky Sanctuary, and Death Egg themes.
Game play is awesome and very strategic. You need to conserve your resources and use them wisely and you are given many options for getting through the levels. The level design is another awesome aspect of the game, the levels are extemely well designed and beautiful.
8087 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like 1 on 1 fighting games, you will love this game, and even if you are not into that style of game, this one is still worth a look. This game is so much fun, easy to pick up, and at times hilarious! The way the characters talk trash to each other in Japanese, along with the over the top look of some characters, along with some wacky (sometimes perverted looking) team-up attacks, this game is non-stop laughs. My personal favorite is Hayato, the phys-ed teacher with the mutton chops and the bamboo stick. His team-up attack is to smack his partner in the butt several times until a shruken-like orb shoots out of them and hits their opponent. Non-stop laughs and fun with this Capcom classic. The bonus features are alot of fun too...consisting of various sports mini-games featuring the students who play those sports...Roberto with a soccer game, Shoma with a baseball game, and Natsu with a volleyball game.
The levels near the beginning are amazing (I'm still trying to finish the game). Flying the dragon thru mountain ranges complete with flowing waterfalls and detailed buildings and trees down below must be experienced to be appreciated. Let loose of some firey breath and watch those trees burn!
So there you have it. One more thing,this game has lots of little puzzles so I find it near impossible to beat the game with out a strategy guide,but that's gained on GameFaqs.com.
But you know what? I wasn't angry about that. Not at all. This meant I learned to appreciate games for a LOT more than just a couple hours of fun. I learned to accept video games back then for all the graphical flaws I encountered, or any kind of gameplay problem. I learned to IGNORE all that stuff and just have fun playing the GAME and having a great time.
8765 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
8928 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now this was one of Gameboy Classics best game . The graphics Were actualy really detailed for the gameboy. The The play was really smooth. It was not too hard or too easy it was just right To make it loads of fun. I still find my self playing the game on my gba Once in a while. Only prob with this game . is i beat it in 1 hour and 15 minutes after 3 trys. the game is way too short. But well worth the money
Strategy is somewhat the most important role, but knowing what to build and what to destroy.
12-Sky sanctury 88%
The sound effects, music and noises the characters make are damn near perfect
Silent Hill 2 will later top this story wise and become the best game in the series, though this magic first experience will remain the most intense!
The game has countless monsters, and they are much more dangerous in big groups than alone. The game has different skills for each character, which help you to decide your character's path(ex- do you want your barbarian to be a sword master, thus forcing him to use 2 hand swords and giant swords or master of club-like weapons, which would force him to use double axes and maul) there is a countless number of magical items, unique items, item sets and rarte items. all of them have different things to ad to yuo, and you may try and get a certain collection(for example, in act 2 it is possible to get a set of items that aren't supposed to be a set, but they are all thorned, and as such cause damage to the enemy just by hitting you, and you can get fortune set, which would give you a fast way of getting rare, unique and magical items, etc) The game's map does change with different characters, which may get confusing, but it adds to the replay value. Waypoints are spaced apart, but if you can get to one, then the whole area between those 2 waypoints becomes sort of easier, since you have the ability to retreat to a town at any moment. Youd do have to quit the game to save, and it will leave you back in the city with all the monsters when you restart, but if those monsters didn't restart, you would ahve a lot more trouble getting experience. and it is just obvious to start in a safe zone.
The graphics is GOOD.

+great concept for a game
4801 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh how I love Space Invaders, the original and this one (I don't believe they have made any newer Space Invaders.) I had this game on the Windows 2000 CD-Rom, you know what that means? Windows 7 gave that disc the middle finger: I couldn't install it. I had an N64 since I was two years old (no kidding, it was my older brothers but he was never huge on Nintendo). I found the old CD-Rom while cleaning up my desktop and my computer in general, and a wave of nostalgia shot me in the face. I researched if there was anyway to play this game not on the computer and found this. I was thrilled that I could play a game like this on a great system like the Nintendo 64, everything about this game is great, the boss fights are challenging and fun, where as the regular levels are filled with the word of the day: nostalgia. If you like Space Invaders, get this game. However, you'll have to be old enough to feel the same way I do about it.
6962 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 MORTAL KOMBAT!!! this is the last 2D MK game, and it is freakin' awesome! this game provides intense fast paced action, wicked combos, and awesome fatalities. plus nothing says "in your face" like kicking your friends rear end in mortal kombat, this is a must have for anyone into the N64 games.
8783 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Illusion of Gaia was released in 1994 by Enix (although Nintendo published it). It plays a lot like Zelda, only in a more linear fashion. Most of the time, you can't revisit places once you leave, but this is an excellent game that is worth your time and money.
7641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Old school is new school again
I have had it for a month now and haven't gotten bored with it yet. So I recommend this game to people of all ages. I even let my 3 year old brother try it out and he had a blast, even though he had no clue how to really navigate 100%.
The only way to make it up the ladder without facing brutalities and stage fatalities is if you were to play as Kintaro, (he's your best bet.)
7677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works well and is fun to play.
7434 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - Circa 1996
Seriously, this game is an awesome classic
In conclusion, while Dreamcast was short lived (in America anyway) it introduced a lot of concepts used in todays console and has a lot of fun games. They are more durable then a Playstation 2, but not quite as durable as Gamecube, and they occasionally have a problem where they don't read discs (but I think it is fixable). Durability aside, it is a great console that Sega put their heart into making.
Gameplay B
In fact, this game has none of those things.
6731 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is cool so much better than the first one. You go through all these levels.( I hate the level where everything is blowing up around you and you have to get out before time runs out) The best thing about this game is that you get Magneto
Graphics? If you like SNES-esque 2D graphics at its best, ToD is simply a keeper. If not, you might be initially turned off by this game. Then again, if graphics matter most to you then you might be more interested in a prettier, but shallow and uninspired games that only take a few or so hours to finish. It's no question that the developers who worked on this game emphasized more on what is skin deep. Bad strategy to lure the 3Dphiles at the time (who were astonished by abything 3D) but for RPG old-schoolers of the SNES era, most of them would see how good this game can be. And the anime intro of this game is really cool.
5418 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fun update to the classic. Though I guess this is a classic now as well. Fun to play multiplayer with the kid. We both think it's hilarious.
807 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome controls, greta levels, killer music, loads of cool guns and awesome James Bond. The perfect shooter! Played this one a lot.

There is a Heart Counter, in which when you reach 100 hearts, you earn an extra life. You get these from killing enemies or collecting them from power-up boxes (As 20 hearts).
6019 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unlike most pc gamers, I never played the first Diablo. With all the hype and how much my friends enjoyed the first game, I figured this would be the game to buy. Well, it is. The fun and reaplayability factors definitely make up for the less than stellar graphics in this game. The controls and gameplay are superb. The sound and music is some of the most realistic I've ever heard (except for some of the recent FPS games). I haven't played on Battle.net yet simply because I'm having too much fun playing my own game and TCP/IP'ing with my buddies. Me and my friends started our game after we were halfway through with Act 1 in our own games, and we were amazed at how much fun we were having even though it was our second time through Act 1. When you play online with others it proposes a whole new slew of options like trading, etc. (teamwork!). What makes the game so replayable is that everytime you play it, it's different. Even if you play as the same character, you will end up getting weapons in a different order. The weapons and magic are just AWESOME by the way. It's so cool how killing the same enemies over and over (and over) again can be SO MUCH FUN! Usually I HATE normal RPG games, but this action RPG stuff is my bag ... baby!
Story: The game appears to take place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back in the Star Wars universe. You're Luke Skywalker, the original trilogy's protagonist and a fighter pilot for the Rebel Alliance. You'll help people with vital intelligence defect from the Empire, protect Rebel-allied cities, and of course fight the Empire!
Also, what makes a RE game an RE game? Two words: Rocket Launcher. If you beat the game in under three hours, you can choose either a gatling gun or a rocket launcher with infinite ammo which gave you even more reason to mow the zombies down one last time.

There are many different types of rides, and you should build each type, because everyone in the park likes different types of rides.
9629 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has just about everything a first-person-shooter enthusiast would want. It has well designed levels, great graphics, good sound, and realistic weapons. The gore-zones add another cool element, albeit a grisly one. The only thing that Soldier of Fortune lacks is decent AI, which can be downright stupid at times. Also, to get the most out of the single player experience, you should use the custom difficulty setting and make it as hard as you dare. This is because on the medium difficulty setting, it is very, very easy, which might leave you feeling a little ripped-off. Other than these minor flaws, this game comes highly recommended, especially if you like your shooters gory.
After playing the course of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I've noticed something very intriguing about it. It seems to be a rehash of what I feel is the best Zelda game: LoZ: Link to the Past. Why do I say this? I say this because there are several structural symmetries that lie between Zelda 64 and LTTP.
****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***
By the way, I've played all sorts of great games before in my friend's place before, and when I finally bought my own playstation, ths is the first game I bought (after trying it out in a friend's place). Even though I have the money to do so, I haven't bought another game for months. I just plain love this game!
The bread and butter of any console title, its gameplay, is the one area where you'll really learn to love or hate this series. Rather than bothering with camera angles and awkward environments, Capcom has instead sent players through a series of screens, occasionally containing interactive elements of their own. You'll control Jill or Chris from a series of dramatic angles, never in control of the camera itself. They'll enter a screen on the left side, mosey around a little bit, kill a couple zombies and leave the screen on the right side, immediately entering the next screen from another direction. Though it was a somewhat novel concept at the time of its release, this scheme brought with it numerous problems, the most notable of which was your interaction with enemies on the next screen. It's not uncommon to run full throttle off the edge of one screen, only to find a zombie waiting for you right at the edge of the next. It's a really cheap way to take a hit, and can mean a speedy, frustrating death in later stages.
The one I got fits the controller excellently! Smooth rubber, it feels very comfortable while playing games, you don't even notice it. My hands sweat a LOT during Call of Duty hours sessions without this case on it, adding this onto my controller pretty much has eliminated that. Great Case from seller above.
589 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has to be one of the best Star Wars games ever made. It's on par with Jedi Knight/Dark Forces 2 and Knights of the Old Republic. It's one of the first games to nail the dog fights from the 1st Star Wars films. The controls are great and it's easy to get used to. It shows off planets that are both new and familer from the films like Hoth. If your a Star Wars nut like me, get it!!!
2750 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 What, you thought they were for the game? Get real... The arcade game was more fun... and all you did was walk/fly right and punch!! I can't go lower than one with the ratings, so I decided to use it for something worth while. The actual score I give Superman 64 on a scale of 1 to 5 is -12. See if you can find anyone who disagrees...
3607 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the Dreamcast. But I came to that realization too late in its life cycle. I didn't buy this console until December 2000 as a combination Christmas present for myself and my cousins. It's unfortunate that shortly after that Sega essentially disowned the machine. They are still developing for it, but that action had an effect on the development houses outside of Sega. That's not to say that everyone but Sega is jumping ship, though.
7055 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 An excpetionally well thought out game that is hindered by some slight problems which prevent this game from getting a 5 star rating in my book. The jumping certaintly is one of the worst parts of this game and certainly does help to make this game less enjoyable. However the atmosphere and the mood created are second to none as you roam the streets and Catacombs of England searching for the dark genius Alex Crowley. While most of the gameplay relies heavily upon hack and slash elements, and arcade style gameplay it is in the overall execution that this game succeeds. The creators have done a fine job of recreating the dark times which plaque the game world and have created some of the best monsters in a horror videogame, standing stride for stride with games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, althogh Silent Hill does have this game topped in terms of sheer terror and horror that is created from the link between the player and the monsters, as truly Silent Hill's monsters are a perversion of reality, and some of the most intriquing monsters ever created. The sequel to this game does fall a little bit short of what I would have expected, although I do enjoy the finishing moves that you are able to execute in NC2. Definitely worth picking up, especially because of the cheap price that you can pick it up for, the game seems to be so inexpensive on this sight that you probably will be paying more for the shipping than for the game itself. By the way the best time to play this game is right before Halloween, as that was when it was originally released, and I'm sure the creators intended that the season be around you when playing this game, just an idea though. Thanks for ya time ya all. Yeah yeah.
7358 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Every case that holds this game goes down in value.
Another thing that made it better over older platforms is the continued ability to move freely about the landscape unrestricted, but with even more vantage points. You can view yourself from pretty much any angle. Top, bottom, sides, any angle, at any given moment. You can watch yourself from the side, then go to top view, bottom view, etc, etc. It's just awesome the advances over previous RPG platforms.
1532 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game was very poorly made...it's really boring, because all you do is walk around and throw stuff at things. All the enemies are exactly the same, there's never any health, and 100 health points aren't enough, because the health goes down too fast. The sight of range is ridiculous because half the screen is nothing but fog, and it all just draws in as you walk ahead, making it hard to see enemies. I do like seeing the familiar South Park characters in 3D, the game is very funny, and the weapons are hilarious! But still, I wouldn't buy it. Rent at most.
1618 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this is a pretty good game except for the music gets annoying sometimes such as the B1 floor of the mansion however the disc had a few scratches it was in good condition ..
In RE, a group of Special tactics commandos, known as S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) are dispacthed to a secluted mansion in the middle of a remote forrest. The mansion once harvested top secret government experiments, lead by a Evil Corporation known as "Umbrella". After the first squad, Bravo Team, was shot down from their helicopter and diseapeared without communication. The second squad, Alpha Team, was sent to rescue them. But a few scuffles with unknown creatures, leads their helicopter leaving them in the middle of the forrest. In panic, the team finds refuge in the mansion. But little does the team know is that their troubles just begun. You have the choice to either play Chris Redfield, a ex-marine turned SWAT commander, or Jill Valentine, a strong guided commando with the ability to pick lock doors and locks. Through out the game, you must survive in the mansion. Your enemies are Bio-infested Zombies....that's right, zombies. The problem; you're running low on ammo. The story goes together, much like the basis for Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn" or George Romeo's "Night of the living Dead". Complete with FMV cut-scenes, that include, no less, Screen Actor Guild rejected actors with terrible acting and bad dialouge ("You almost turned into a Jill-sandwich!!!"), but never the less still a fun game. Must buy
5509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember this game fondly. First it came out on the Nintendo 64 then on the Playstation 2. This difference was, the Nintendo version had no audio but the Playstation version's characters actually spoke. This game, even though old, goes beyond the boundaries of cool! The controls are a little difficult to master but once you do, you're going to LOVE this game. It was (and still is) one of my all time favorites. If I remember correctly, if you beat the game once using ONLY your pistol and NOTHING ELSE, I THINK you get infinite ammo for all weapons on your next goaraound. If you're the type who loves special ops games then once you play this you'll think to yourself: "Screw Splinter Cell, screw Rainbow Six and screw Ghost Recon." Trust me folks it's that good. If you're the kind of person who loves the nostalgia of old games you grew up with, then I STRONGLY recommend you buy this game.
9028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very difficult, but it's sooo much fun to play!
3037 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has consumed at least 99:59:59 hours of my life how many hours after that I don't know cause thats where the in game timer stops counting.
6845 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Fall of the Foot Clan on Nintendo Gameboy brings the Ninja Turtles to the handheld for the first time. The story is basic TMNT fare. The Shredder has kidnapped April O'Neil to lure the Turtles to their deaths. The games takes Leo, Don, Raph, and Mikey all across New York and into the depths of the Technodrome.
4694 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Welcome to our Castlevania story with Castlevania Rondo of Blood being a good game so naturally a sequel is necessary so now we move onto PlayStation with the next story to Rondo of Blood with Castlevania Symphony of the Night so lets see where story goes from Rondo of Blood.
2: Controls are VERY rough on your D-pad hand. You move a bit sluggish and the controls fell a bit heavy.
The graphics will be familiar to anyone who's played Street Fighter or the Alpha series, but they do have a newer, fresher anime style about them. The large anime drawing of the characters after they win a match is also very cool. They animate very well, much better than in Marvel vs. Capcom. The sound effects are also great, and the music is excellent. My only minor complaint about the music is that the classic character themes are gone. I preferred the old classic songs to these new ones. But, that's not too big of a deal.
9595 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is most definitely a much, much different game than the other entries in the Final Fantasy series. You control the young hero, Ramza Beoulve, and a party of adventurers as they become involved in what starts out as a relatively simple case of kidnapping and politics that eventually turns into a crisis that involves a trip into the underworld to save the world from the forces of darkness. Your party starts out as Ramza and a bunch of generic characters, but as you progress through the game you will meet up with a number of friends that will join your party, all of which have their own unique abilities, ranging from forgettable, to helpful, to awesomely-overpowering.
6177 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 horrible system... Graphics suck. Get an xbone... COD is way better than these crap games. Xbone and ps4 are a go DONOT BUYYYY
3959 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'm slow to give a 1-star rating, but this certainly takes it. First, the grip is hard. The grip it thin and small extends vertically from the controller. The Z-Button on all three of the ones I got broke within a month after moderate use. The controller gets greasy SO easily. Never, ever get this, no matter how desperate you are to save money.
again thank you good sir/madam
4868 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I order this a few days ago and it came no longer than three. The memory card is what I mainly wanted and the rumble pak. I'll just let anyone who plays as the fourth player can use it because I had three rumble paks for my other controllers before this order, but no memory card yet. When I order this it said like new and guess what! It actually came brand new sealed in the hard plastic that normally takes scissors to cut. I like this seller because they mean what they say. I also ordered this in the used section which is also weird (I still got it new but im sure you know that). Like most people said the rumble pak is kinda more heavier, but im not even going to use it anyway because again I already have a rumble pak for my other controllers. The only thing I really hate about the rumble is that all rumble paks I own take triple (AAA) batteries. The problem with that is batteries run out. I do have some advice for some people purchasing this. If you want a rumble pak try to find rechargable triple (AAA) batteries if you can. By the way the memory card can also be used alone without the rumble pak. It should of been powered in the controller though. I guess thats old school for you.
You play as either Leon or Claire. Both of them have interesting stories and different gameplay elements. As Leon you will use Magnums, Shotguns, and Flamethrowers as your character-only weapons. As Claire you will get Bow Guns, a Grenade Launcher, and a Shock Gun. This means you will have to survive using different weapons. If you beat the game as one character, you will earn a B-Scenario that allows you to play the game from the other characters point of view. This creates a total of 4 games all in one. Not to mention the 2 secret scenarios you can earn. This game makes you tense and freak out at moments. The N64 version allows you to change the blood color and change the violence level in the game. There is also a Randomizer mode that changes around all the items in the game to make it that much more difficult.
The other levels are pretty "civilized", which involve reasonable objectives, and most of these are taken place in the City where it's mostly guaranteed you won't see mythical monsters like the zombies and the burricks.
8773 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just wanted to say that this is my most cherished game of all time. I have this game and I still play it today. This is the first game that I owned that I actually played all the way through, and I still enjoy playing through it to collect all the different items. I am sure that there are better games out now, but for the time this game did a lot of things right and was a fresh experience. If you like 2d platformers, then you will enjoy DKC 2!
Have fun!!
Now that I have a 360 I rarely play goldeneye anymore. But with the recent purchase of a n64, i have again, found myself playing goldeneye with all the wonderful, fun cheats that it offers. This game changed the way we play games, totally. It is still one of the best games I own, right next to the newest xbox 360 games.
7944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best game of all time I've had this game for over 13 years and I still play it all the time you will not get sick of this game it is well worth the money
You also have what are called Guardian Forces(GF) which you junction to your characters to make them stronger and to learn new abilites. But, understanding this at first is a little frustrating, also, you are constantly switching the junctions around with other characters, which that also is irritating.
3464 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it even had saved games
~ASMD Shock Rifle-You use a eletrick shock rifle to kill people!
9151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent
While the "save" problem is annoying to me as a gamer now, I'd never even heard of "saving" and "restoring" when I got this game as a kid. It just wasn't done back then. It was no different from playing Mario Bros. on Nintendo to me.
6129 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Plain and simple, this is the best game console out there untill Nintendo's next system comes out. It has by far the best games and no load times. Nintendo is #1.
4665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To hard for me to surpass but the disc works well, and the case is in good condition. Maybe one day i can beat it!
7123 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember freakin out when I got this game back when n64 was "in." The game is so awesome and is the perfection of the original DOOM series. The weapons are nicely redone, as are the demons. It's a little difficult playing a game like DOOM using a controller rather than a keyboard and mouse, but that is a small price to pay for playing a masterpiece like Doom64.
The graphics and music are both fantastic, with this being one of the first games that I really wanted a soundtrack cd of (the first being Donkey Kong Country of course). But there's one nitpick I have with it, and it's that if you have one of the animals with you, the normal stage music is replaced by their theme. All three of the animals have cool themes, but hearing the same music for every stage gets old, and there were times when I'd turn the volume off because of it. Still, there's not a bad track on here, and Coo's theme is still one of my favorites to this day. Man, that bird really has it all, doesn't he?
7388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Killer to the bone.... the way an arcade game should be. Although I'm not entirely sure if it ever hit the arcades, it's a good running game all the way around. Love it!!!
3310 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Terrible, horrible, very bad. May be the worst game I ever played! I despise it and it's just no fun at all.
If you're just browsing for a new game to check out, this one will not disappoint you. If anything, this is one which will addict you and draw you in for hundreds and perhaps thousands of hours.
7686 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 600 bucks? You are out of your damned mind
15. Area 1
Granted, over the years the charm of this has worn off with countless other Wars games but that one moment was one of those..."This is so awesome" moments that it stays with you forever.
What's more, it is buggy and crashes - even with the patch, it is still a bit buggy (Jan 2000) - so you start the level again.
13 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 lot of people don't like RALLY because they already tried gran turismo game. to tell you the truth gran turismo RALLY physic is just boring boring boring. gran turismo only good for racing simulation but RALLY part is suck!!!! dirt 2 amazed me how much fun it was and now dirt 3 with 3 time more race tracks than dirt 2. MUST BUY!!!!!!!!!!
brought it out at a party and it was a hit
Adios.
So bottomline- it's a little too easy. But that will not prevent it from being a top 100 game of all time (read EGM #100)....
984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goldeneye lookes like just another shootem up game, but it is more than that. Goldeneye takes James Bond to the next level.
Like with Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64, Metal Gear Solid was making a leap into the third dimension and the graphics for their time were very well detailed and the game has aged pretty well. Details such as seeing the characters breath in the cold, very high draw distance, seeing smoke from cigarettes or footprints in the snow is all in this game. The gameplay is very similar to the 2D Metal Gear games on the MSX2 computer. The game is all about sneaking by without detection rather than a straight on shooter, but there are moments where you do go in all guns blazing, but its mostly a sneaking mission because going in guns blazing makes the game much harder. I like stealth games like this because it makes us cautious and can even be scary at times because everything is quiet and suddenly a security camera or guard spots you, the alarm goes off and you're slightly startled and have to hide and hope they don't find you.
- Try not to run into Bowser who will cause nothing more but trouble and steal your money or stars
1.) As stated before, the inventory/spell system is HUGE and can be intimidating.
The background music is ALMOST as creepy as the score the original had....but very good nonetheless.
Here comes the greatest aspect, it's revolutionary sound. Playing Medal of Honor will definitely make you feel like you are in a movie theater watching some action flick, say something like Star Wars EP1. The game's sound effects are truly mesmerizing, every shatter, every footstep, every gun shot can be heard, and the clarity is to die for. If you have a big screen TV, and a powerful stereo system make sure to hook both up and play Medal of Honor, because I swear to you if you pump up the volume you WILL be experiencing World War 2. And last but not least the game also features dialogue during in and out of the mission.
All in all I would have given more than five stars if the system would have allowed me to do so. But I admit I had to take at least one star away, I did this to force a point onto most people who wish to own a copy of H-L. The game can be played right of the box but to get the full effect of the game, you're going to need to edit the auto start and configuration files. Voodoo 2 owners used to have the H-L Voodoo Doctor but alas, I have not seen his web page in months. H-L really does not like the Voodoo card. ATI Rage Fury does a little better, but you'll get a bizarre "ghost" on occasion. The TNT family does the best out of the bunch with the default values. I understand Valve is working on this issue in H-L 2 (TFC 2?) but we'll have to wait and see. Congrats Valve, this game shoved Quake, Quake 2, Unreal, and Duke Nukem 3D permanently off of my drive. I've since gotten a dual 13 GB drive configuration (26 GB total), I've never even bothered to dust off those games. With the purchase of Bungee software by Microsoft (Please God, Don't let Halo and Oni be X-Box only games.) , the Multi-Player nature of Quake 3, and Duke Nukem (with the Unreal engine) on a perpetual release date, H-L will be a tough game to knock off the "Game of the Year" throne. Has H-L cursed the first person shooter genre? Are developers afraid to knock the king out of the ring? It may look that way.
7319 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Being a gamer used to the slower paced moods of RPGs, puzzle games, and the like, I did not expect to overly enjoy this game.
At first, I thought that the "X" was roman numeral for 10, thinking that 3 other titles had been released sinceMM6 without me knowing it and then I realized that X is simply the name given to this new MM model. Anyway, enough minutae...this title is solid. X introduces the ability to acquire different armors and varios vital upgrades such as rocket boosts for X's feet, an improved mega buster, and helmet. In fact, some ares in specific stages cannot be accessed unless you are in possession of one of these advanced upgrades. This series also introduces the ability for X to scale walls, a necessary new twist for some areas.
and finally...
5120 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A++++
7047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game
While TR 2 is the best in the series, this one will be the most remembered.
7547 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It Works Great!
9814 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was my first experience with resident evil, and it was a good experience at that. The control system takes some getting used to and there's always the f****** inventory problems, but you get used to them after a while. The gameplay is superior to the first one (there's plenty of ammo this time around) and the puzzles actually seem to apply to reality (in a distant kind of way). there are a total of 4 story lines (two for each character) making for very good replay value. an enjoyable (albeit short) experience.
What's even better is that the cartridge contains lock-on technology!
4444 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 got just what I ordered works great got to my house a few days after I ordered it
Great fun, lots of fond memories. I'll never forget my Age of Empire days.
Gameplay: It's easily some of the best FPS gameplay to be had with this console. It's very similar to Goldeneye, but Perfect Dark has some finesse that Goldeneye did not. There is voice-acting, reloading animations, guards that hobble when you shoot them in the leg, and probably other things. Just think Goldeneye 2.0 and you've got a good picture Perfect Dark's gameplay.
2598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love gameboy :) this brings me back
The CONS: Aladdin is not the hardest game out there so even the youngest of players can breeze through the game with ease. It's also a short game so it's over before you realize it.
GOOD:
433 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many may disregard the Breath of Fire series as just another RPG but Capcom has done a beutiful Job with this title. They pulled out a lot on this case. Beutiful 2D graphics that only Capcom can do, good music, simple controls make this an excellent purchase. Chances are you may find this at a good price somewhere so I say go for it.
Now, man your mechs and prepare to dominate the battlefield.......
interesting charachters(cloud, Aerith and Sepheroth...that's about it)
This also had the perfect multi player vs mode in the history of the 64 system. Where else could you blow up 3 of your friends with a bazooka at the same time (if you were lucky enough to stumble upon them shooting it out with each other).
With all the noise of the games such as Rock Star, I can't really tell how good the audio quality is, but that also means that it is good enough for Wii.
4297 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very cool RTS in open space.. it seemed bigger when I played it back in 97 but it still makes it happen .. build research everything you would want to base the future of humanity on
9363 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game for my collection
Did we really understand what we experienced? Was it really as awesome as we remembered it? Would we believe the same things if we were at a different age?
9408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just love this game! Not only did it entertain me years ago during a time of video games with [disappointing] graphics, it is very cute and will keep you busy for hours. Any fan of SNES needs to try it out!
This is sort of a funny way to put it, but this game really made me think. Instead of the same old hum drum plots, this one has a lot of depth, and it's almost like an exploration of your own sanity as well as the character's. What I liked about Sanitarium, as opposed to some other institution-based games, is that it didn't get too technical. They sort of made light of the situations, rather than cramming disturbing, medical references down your throat. This was a game I could really sink my teeth into, and one that I wanted to play again and again. There weren't alot of long, boring cut-scenes, that make you wonder if you're watching a movie or playing a game. You really feel a part of everything in the game, instead of an outsider looking in. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer games to be fun and there should be alot of interaction between the player and the game itself. The player should be in control...it shouldn't feel like the game is playing itself. Sanitarium passed every test that I could think of, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a sincere and enjoyable adventure game.
BUY IT AND BUY THE VMU!
5893 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Before I bought this game, I downloaded the demo off theinternet and was completely freaked out. I rushed out and purchasedthe game and was completely freaked out by the money I wasted. Do you love impossible control options, very high system requirements and load times that have you kicking your computer? Then you will love Nocturne! This game had all the perfect elements to become a great game, but it fell short on delivery. However, if you love the Resident Evil genre, then this game is for you, but I warned you. END
7186 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I play a lot of games, and it seems like since I've played Tomba, nothing compares to it. It's an extreme strategy game that takes some brains to figure out. It's an absolutely incredible game, and now that it's so hard to find, it really stinks. My cd's keep wearing out from playing so much and I have to buy the game over and over again at $20 a pop cause it's so rare. Play Tomba! and love it!
In Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic must traverse the rest of Angel Island after bringing down the Death Egg (again) onto a volcano and stop Dr. Robotnik once and for all. However, Tails is gone for this round in place of being able to play as Knuckles the Echidna for the first time. He taunted and tricked you all throughout Sonic 3, but now you can rip through the stages as him, or get your revenge on him at last with Sonic.
Then why did I give this game four stars instead of five? The reason is because of the...problems listed below.
5662 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Why did you do this id? No wait. . . I understand why, but it's still no excuse to create a game like this. Multiplayer only? OK, OK, I need to settle down here. First of all I need to explain my situation. I have Internet access but not the kind to play this game, I have a lowly 56k modem with a (insert appropriate insult here) connection. This type of connection is definitely not the best connection, even for games that have low data transfer like Diablo or Ultima. However, in my apartment complex we created our own Ethernet LAN with the main hub in my own apartment, perfectly ideal for this type of game. Does this mean that I play this game? Yes, sort of. Does that mean that I like it? I wish I could.
Arm yourself with:
Trust me, I've just started replaying this recently... it's a blast.
From Impressive Visuals to great nonstop action filled fun with some really great Nintendo characters like Samus and Mario to very detailed sound. And lets not forget about the pretty intence story mode which you can beat time records to unlock hidden characters. This game will take hours hell probably months till you get bored of this Title but I still play it once and awhile but over all with that said...this impressive title truly earns its..
If you are losing health, be sure to steer towards a healing area.
As Mega Man X, you explore 8 themed stages modeled after the boss Reploids. Beat each one and you collect their main weapon so you can use to defeat enemies and other Reploids. As you get closer and closer to Sigma, you can also collect items, health and weapon upgrades scattered throughout the game. Just like the NES Mega Man games, you receive a password after you defeat a Reploid or if you use all your lives to write down and continue your progress later.
The game even inspired me to write a book.
The difficulty of the controls are a little more difficult than other snowboarding games and may take a little bit more time to master, but it's well worth it. Landing correctly is also a little harder to do than normal.
I have watched my sons play from elementary school
You like Nintendo,
Please please please play this game. Pirate it if you have to, because Black Isle Studios is no longer around, so the people responsible for the game won't get rewarded financially. But they, you, and the video gamers in general will be rewarded if you just play this game. Once you play the game and get through it, you will finally realize how much better games can be. We can prevent Halo 16, Call of Duty 5 part Modern Warfare 2, or Super Mario XXIXIIVIXX from being all that is expected out of a game. If we demand that video game makers create high-quality, progressive products like Torment or Fallout (not that atrocious abomination that Bethesda pinched out), then video games might be taken more seriously. Torment is art. It's literature. Roger Ebert has no idea what he's talking about, or he's never seen a game as phenomenal as this one.
3783 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game COULD have been a classic but it isn't. The game has been developed under a very strict deadline and because of this you'll often get the feeling that things should've been tweaked a bit. Don't get me wrong, it still has got plenty of things in it to justify the purchase but it's a darn shame that they didn't wait, let's say a month, with the release.
All in all, one of the most perfect strategy games on the market...at least till AoE III is released.
8824 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 That's pretty much all this game entails. However; this is one of the best games ever made for the Genesis. The graphics aren't great, the music and sound are pretty weak, but the gameplay is awesome. You pick from 3 characters, each has their own weapon, attacks, and of course different magical spells, its the perfect balance of streets of rage with dungeons and dragons!
Whether you are a fan or beginner, you would enjoy playing this game. It is more than just playing a character (e.g. Yoshimitsu) who fights his or her opponent (e.g. Jin Kazama).
9971 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Herzog Zwei was like my gateway drug into the RTS gaming world. When it originally appeared in the early '90s, my friends and I would geek out all night with Herzog, junk food, and over-caffienated soft drinks. The game was simple enough to pick up quickly but intricate enough to keep you fascinated. Each unit built had to be given a command, which varied in price depending on what you wanted it to do. So you had to be smart with your money or else you'd end up with a lot of wasted dough. In addition, you have to be concerned with ammo and fuel, because each unit only has a limited amount and will stop running/firing if it runs out. These are the features that make Herzog unique and one of the best RTS games ever!
The game takes place a few years or so after the fall of the Scarlet Moon Empire (which was the setting for the original Suikoden). The plot follows similarly: a young boy becomes the leader of the side of right, and must constantly do battle against first, the forces of evil (Luca Blight) and second, his best friend (Jowy Atreides/Blight). This begs the question: why get this game since its plot is so similar to the last one?
3677 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 BAM BAM BOOM! Tekken 3 has great graphics, awsome moves, and best of all, awsome challanges!!
These are mostly criticisms, but they comprise a small percent of the game. You will spend most of it enjoyably. Despite the very easy difficulty, it isn't boring. There's plenty to explore in the levels, and as they go on, they become larger and more complex, especially the sprawling final level. Rare flexes all of its creative muscles in that level, revolving around the four seasons, and even includes a few semi-stories with some new characters. Not that the other levels are clunkers, but if only they could provide the same sort of entertainment, the rest of the game would have been that much more enjoyable.
This fine example of making a game totally repayable is something all FPS games should employ, it allows infinite gaming joy as you can find your sweet spot skill level and try to beat it in free for all, team, or capture the flag modes.
8382 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The downside as mentioned in the previous view is what makes this RTS different from the rest. This game uses a system of "Command Points" instead of the usual resource gathering of every other RTS game out there.
4402 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've had fun with this game for hours and hours. The gameplay is god. The only 2 bad things is the graphic aren't that great and flood can't wide the city off the face of the earth. It's worth the buy!
8266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game back when I was a kid. At first, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. But now, I unlocked everything, and now it's fun to play. 5-Stars to the childhood returning!
2972 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had never played this game until this year; I wanted to see if this game lived up to its name.
I also sent it back.
FFT is a game that took a different direction rather than a traditional RPG. Most of the game revolves around battles that are much harder than you may think. The manual even advises that you save after every encounter. Before a battle ensues, you can place usually up to 5 characters on a platform, which represents your side of the battlefield while the enemy starts on the other side. You then begin to advance, a little like chess, planning strategically to smite all the enemies before you.
Essentially all Nintendo had to do at this point was release it on cart; the code was written and completed. If have a sequel to the biggest game for your console, and the sequel SMB2 is also a massive hit - why wouldn't they release SMB3 which was already completed and published in Japan? They had a massive financial interest in getting this game out.
For most games, I think that strategy guides are a wimp's way out, but with AOK, I highly recommend the Ensemble Studios' guide. It's invaluable to improving the quality of your game-playing experience.
If you want, you can go through the game and try to kill everything with your enormous arsenal of weapons (more on those later), it's simply not really worth the effort. For one thing, you'll probably get hit a lot trying to inflict damage on your enemies. Trying to kill raptors is a pain in the butt due to faulty hit detection. A raptor (or two) will jump next to you and start bitting and whacking away with thier tails as you frantically fire your shotgun over and over again trying to hit them, yet they take no damage. So you leap away and start firing, and finally kill them after several shots. As a result of not being able to hit them at point blank range, you've lost 3/4th of your health and a lot of ammo has been wasted. When attacking kamikazie soldiers and janitors, it's very common to have several grenades chucked in your direction before you even get a shot off. Result? Loose health before you even take out one guy.
4659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thank you
For it's time, Turok Dinosaur Hunter was one of the better games released for the N64 and is definitely one FPS that every N64 owner should have in their collection.
1566 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As most already know twisted metal is a car combat game collect weapons and destroy your enemies as you drive pretty simple idea that can definitely be fun....
- Combo system allows for many consecutive hits
7315 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If your an older gamer or just someone who likes older game series you have probaly played Megaman (the original series not X,Legends,Zero,or Battle Network) I remember when I first got my NES when I was 5 and Megaman 2 I loved that game and still do so I saw Megaman 8 for playstaition decided I should check up on this series (I'm more of a Megaman X fan) from the opening movie which is shown in stunning anime to the ending credits this game is flawless the story begins with 2 strange robots fighting in the deep reaches of space when they injure each other so bad that they crash land into earth and Megaman heads to investigate when he gets there Dr. Wily (for you noobs Megaman's main enemy) is carrying off one of the robots which has very evil very powerful energy Wily is harnesting so Megaman helps the second robot and heads after Wily so the battle begins with your standard 4 bosses Clownman,Grenademan,Frostman, and Tenguman(my personal favorite) and after they are done your next four appear Swordman,Astroman,Searchman, and Aquaman(not to be confused with the DC comics hero) you Megaman veterans already know where this is going even though the game is standard Megaman format that same format is perfect and if it ain't broke don't fix it
If you like chess and Final Fantasy, pick this game up ASAP. It's definitely worth it.
Really disappointed. My first mistake was accessing Battle. Net the day of release, nay the month of release. Blizzard stress tested the new network for Diablo II due to a fundamental change in how network play is handled. Well,. . . They stress tested for 10,000 people. Well, 70,000 Limited Edition Diablo II's were printed on top of who knows how many of the regular edition and the server was crippled for several months. What did Blizzard think? That we would graciously limit ourselves 10,000 people at a time? (10,000 world wide if I understand the news wheel correctly.) Granted the change was for the best. I myself was getting annoyed by the vast number of Cheating Player Killers (CPK) using special software to "survive" anything. Many honest players were forced to use the very same hackers tools just to enjoy the game. The network was changed for Diablo II to prevent this type of cheat in an "honest" game. At least Blizzard didn't lose all of their brain cells. Blizzard did work hard to improve the AT&T servers for game play and now thanks to their hard work server down time is somewhat minimized (albeit hardly perfected. We game players are an impatient bunch.)
3722 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The dream cast equipment was much better than the knockoff's. There are fewer problems and it lasts foever. I purchased a madcats version in 1996 and it died after only about a year; The Dreamcast F.Controler I purchased new in 1998 is still going strong today(2008)
A) Your monsters level stays the same when you leave, this is due to the fact that they are more like equipment.
- characters graphics aged badly
5649 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game has amazing visuals, that are some of the best ive ever seen. The only reason i gave this game 4 stars is because the single player is so short, that you will be done with it in about 2 hours of playing. The multiplayer is amazing though. I feel that it is even better than UT's multiplayer. If you like frags then get this game
Mario is off to another dangerous adventure through 6 short worlds, meeting many new and creepy enemies, as well as for a short while a new boss takes place of bowser, his name is Wario. This is a GREAT Game and you get your every cent out of it, I have it and I beat all of the 3 files on my game. Don't sit there any play your DS, get an Original Game Boy+Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins if you want your money out of something you buy. DS Cards are barely the size of your finger nail and $35.00 don't waist that money on a finger nail, get something decently sized that isn't too bulky or too small. Stop clicking that button on Wal-Mart just go on Amazon one click ship and there you've got a whole library of Game Boy Games for a fraction of the cost of a DS Lite.
Hopefully, the producers will have found a way to be more faithful to the show--and give us more questions--for the second edition of this game.
Sound/Music: Along with the Lunar series, the MGS series has always been prime examples of how voice acting should be done. Instead of overeager voices or just robotic delivery, it's very easy to get involved with the story when the actors do a great job at balancing the quieter moments with the more plot-based information. The music does a good job as well though it's used rather sparingly.
5314 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't buy this for very young ones because it will be too hard for them. When Croc runs it's very sencitive so when you tap left Croc will do a full turn. You will die because health is limited but you will get used to this if you're truely talented at games. My first game was Crash Bandicoot 1(back in 97/98)and on my first go I could control the character with ease and I beat my friends at games when they had a Playstation for 2 years. My point is if you've a son/daughter and they've got a simular story and they're talented at games then get this after Croc 1 and I know adults will enjoy this as well.
catchy music
1108 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game a couple of years ago and I was completly shocked, it was really fun and addictive but takes you into a new world called Hyrule. Throughout the story, Link has to save Hyrule from Ganondorf who makes Hyrule look like the Devils mountain! But, if Link collects the right items, he might save Hyrule with the Princess of Zelda.
Then, I moved on up to the dreamcast. Along came Bleam! And I was back at this game again, only with crisper graphics. I love it. The tracks are solid, the cars keep on coming, some suck and some rock. It depends upon whether or not you like rear-wheel drive cars or front-wheel drive ones. etc. etc. My roommate and I had totally different favorite cars and tracks and we each LOVED this game!
My recommendation: Unless you haven't played Civ III, or you have a historical interest in Civ games, it's too late to appreciate how good this game was when it was released.
7141 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good one
9584 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I never did get to far playing this game. I just don't get the hang of it. So I quit this game soon after I started. I like a game I can get somewhere with. I guess I didn't understand what it was all about when I bought it. Somebody else might do alright with it, but not me.
Cons:
The only thing that wasn't improved was the campaign. The story was close to the last, and you could tell who the traitor was and who would die etc. The cutscenes aren't even that great either. And by the end you're left with so few characters, that you find yourself not caring anymore, and wanting Kerrigan to destroy all of them. But the never tiring multiplayer saves the game. And even though there weren't too many new good 8player maps, we still have hunters!
7647 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is in very good condition. It saves and works great. Very fun game indeed.
3371 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nope.... the title of my review IS NOT misleading, yes DC had a much better and more complete plot than either RE1 or RE3. RE2, not quiet as the scientific aura of the game sucks you in. Anyway, to get started, Regina and her fellow comrades are out on Ibis Island in search of a man by the name of Professor Kirk. Apparently he's got this new "Third Energy Experiment" which he is conducting.. I won't spoil as to what is behind this experiment as it'll ruin the gaming experience. The gameplay is similar to that of RE2/3 but instead of zombies, you face dinosaurs. You will NOT be dissapointed. I must say Shinji Mikami has good taste when it comes to creating a game with a very good storyline.
EASY MODE:
I absolutely love the controls in this game. Everything is pretty intuitive: the A Button is used to execute actions, the B Button swings your sword, and the C Buttons allow you to store up to three items to use during play. You're able to roll and jump, swim and climb, block attacks, stab, and build up power for swing attacks. But the greatest addition to the control features is the Z Targeting ability. This function allows you to lock on to people and enemies and focus a particular action on the targeted object. Moreover, this button will focus the camera directly behind Link, allowing you to have control over your point of view. To this day, I compare games' camera controls to Ocarina of Time, often wishing for that very desirable Z Targeting capability. A great addition to your supply of character controls.
2200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With this, I can play majoras mask. So it's pretty amazing!
The gameplay is great
1518 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Game if so funny. Pee snowballs, annoying turkeys and it is in South Park, Colorado what more could you ask for. The controls are hard at first but in 10-20 minutes it becomes easy. The game is really fun and looks great on the 64.
The main drawing point to this game is the numerous paths that you can take. It is an adventure game in REAL time. So if you are lolly-gagging around in one area for a long time just doing nothing, you'll miss something later and the game will change. You can ALWAYS beat the game, but the path you take is what makes the game so outstanding. Are you a good guy? A Bad guy? Who are you? It all depends on the decisions that you make and the people/replicants that you enteract with.
This is an exploratory game where you can tread every street of the New England town. Often objectives are made very clear, and the desired destinations are always marked on the in-game map. The map shows your current location, the direction you are facing, and where you have already been, like a GPS. It's very unlikely you'll ever get lost as you explore Silent Hill, but don't think it will be a walk in the park. You will be faced with quite a few challenges.
2288 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a very cute game i love playing this game it is in great new condation as it is new. I had looked for a long time for a reasonable sonic game and here it was very happy thank you
9939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the few where Konami gave one of their classic franchises a chance on Sega's console. The result is this great title which, while not as great as Super Castlevania, is a worthy game for your Genesis collection.
9867 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great on top of a Hyperkin Retron 3 [console] i've run it solo and also with both sonic 2&3. seller was fast and efficient
THE CONS:
Anyways, I suppose you had to be there, but rest assured, the entire first third of the game is hilarious. However, when you get to Delphi (the sea reaper)'s missions, the humor takes a turn for the worse, as if the writers had run out of ideas. And by the time Kabuto rolls around, the cutscenes stop almost entirely, except for the intro to his missions and the final cutscene.
You are at the helm of a multinationally funded UFO defense team. Your goal is simple, protect earth from the oncoming insurgency, and ultimately seek and destroy the source of the invasion. Aside from the strategic turn-based combat sequences, you will control all aspects of the administrative efforts. Sink your fingers into the purchasing of supplies, design of bases, hiring and firing of personel, the armament of your aircraft (for shooting down UFO's) and MOST IMPORTANTLY, which alien technologies to research and incorporate into your arsenal.
You wander the fog enshrouded town of Silent Hill searching for your daughter. Now, here's the great part about this game. It just seems so WRONG from the very beginning. The town is built right to scale and rendered in totality. You can, in theory, go anywhere. You even get a street map (complete with names like Koontz street and Bachman ave. Get it?) After a little exploration, though, you'll find something is amiss. The goal early on is to get to the local elementary school, and this seems easy enough with a street map, but there's one minor problem. The streets have this tendancy to just...end. All major roads leading to the school are just gone. Not there. They stop, and all you can see in the distance is the the fog. Add to this the "monsters" lurking the town. These basically consist of skinless dogs and large pink birdman things, who don't seem so terrifying, really. You get a radio that emits static when enemies draw near, but more on that later. This is all part of the game's attempt to unnerve you. Before you know it, you're across the chasm of the roads and now the REAL fun starts. Now, it's suddenly dark. Pitch black, in fact. You get a weak little flashlight with which to see (a pocket light, really) and THAT'S IT. Now, let's see. We're in a deserted town haunted by things that, while kind of weak and stupid looking, want to kill you. We could see just fine in the fog, but now it's dark. Right. So, we're off to the school, and now things get worse. The dogs are faster now (one constant in the game: The darker it gets, the more powerful and evil the enemies become), and now that you can't see them, it makes shooting at them much harder since they never stand still, really, and all you have to aim with is a weak cone of light that doesn't extend very far. Plus, as you'll soon happily discover after wasting 3 clips firing at the spot where a dog just was, ammo is limited! Yay! And the dogs have now been joined by the bird thingies, who ALSO want to kill you! DOUBLE yay!! So, we run now. Run all the way to the school, past the two(!) dogs guarding the entrance, through the door, and BAM! We're alive. Woohoo! Thank God! Now then...The school! Then it dawns on you: You're in a deserted ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. In the black-as-pitch darkness. With...wait for it...things that want to kill you! The knife-baby things, this time. Righty-o! Having fun yet? Oooh, it gets better. After some puzzles, you'll open the clocktower. By this point, it will be apparent that Silent Hill is home to some sick, sick people. I won't go into details, but trust me. So, as you mutter to yourself about the sick inhabitants of this town, you'll be climbing down the clocktower (yes, DOWN. It has a basement. Well...Sort of. You'll see.) It's here, HERE, that the game got to me. When you come back up the other side (bear with me here, it's hard to explain), you're back where you started, in the school courtyard. But not really. It's not the same...Then you go in the doors, and everything is...Aw, I'm not gonna kill it for you. Suffice to say that THIS is where the game goes from creepy to INSANELY CREEPY, and it just gets worse and worse and worse and WORSE as you go on. By the time you finish the school section and see daylight again, it's more of a relief than you can imagine. I was practically cheering my first time through. After that school, well-lit fog is a damned BLESSING!
I was speechless at the end of the game where everything comes together and the big twist is revealed. That was awesome.
Another great thing about this game is that that it has a lot of sidequests like in final fantasy X and x-2 so that makes it a very long game (mine in total has 93 hours of gameplay).
224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You read right. 128MB. Not the normal 8MB almost all the cards were.
The powerups are all cool and fun too use, my fave is the mist spell. that lets your charachter turn into a fog. your enemies can't touch you when your transformed, so you can just pass through them, and attack thier backs. others, like changing into a bat, wolf, or being able too super jump, or wear armor that breaks spikes, are all fun too use that has too be played too truly understand.
3787 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you expect Sonic Adventure is just going to be another one of those typical Sonic games - think again. Sonic Adventure is loads of fun, essential for your Dreamcast collection. (Who can own a Sega system without a Sonic game?) I think that is a huge accomplishment for Sega, because it's really hard to find a game out there with a good story line that is appropriate for anyone. The graphics are great! Unfortunately, you will probably be paying more attention to the realistic scenery than beating the game (Sonic Adventure is rediculously easy). I beat it in 2 days, I'm 13 years old. However, my 9 year old cousin spent a lot more time on it, it took her about 6 weeks or so. It basically depends on your problem solving skills, and things like that. Oh - did I mention the camera problem? (This one hurts) Throughout the game, the camera is a MAJOR obstacle. You are CONSTANLY hidden behind some rock, pillar, or even the scenery! Sometimes this can give you a bit of a headache, the camera is so bad it makes you dizzy.
7206 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bloody Roar is my favorite head to head fighting series. The characters and their move sets are killer. The "ultimate move" is reasonable easy to pull off, and overall the game is extremely gratifying and enjoyable to play. I'd say pick it up.
5391 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is a good port of the PC version and I guess the only drawback would be the password system within the game since you can't save your progress through your memory card but I don't mind it too much
The gameplay is simple and intuitive. Party navigation is a breeze, and over 15 NPC's can be recruited into your party of 6 as you progress and their unique "banter" amongst themselves really never leaves you bored with your party. Combat is simple and the weapons are fun. Character development is one of the richest ever found in an CRPG. As for all this anger about the rules of D&D and how they "suck" in a CRPG, I can safely say that you should not worry one bit if you are looking for a rich roleplaying experience. I never bothered with 2nd edition 3rd edition and all that crap, the rules are fine and everything is calculated "behind-the-scenes" for you so it never takes away from the experience. Everything is seamlessly done and for a person looking to immerse themselves in a wonderful world the rules should never come up and detract from your game. You DO NOT have to be a Dungeons of Dragons fanatic to pick up this game and enjoy adventuring. It really is quite a masterpiece by itself.
8453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First and foremost, I am not an RPG fan. I never jumped on the Final Fantasy bandwagon. I don't care for the Dragon Quest games. I have never played Chrono Trigger or any of its remakes. But I have to admit that all of the games I mentioned helped usher in a major video games category that has been around since the days of the original NES. So when word broke out that Nintendo and Squaresoft (now known as Square Enix) were working together on a RPG game featuring Mario & using Final Fantasy style game play, many gamers were immediately excited and waited to play this masterpiece. And so, in 1996, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was released on the SNES and was and still is one of the best RPGs. If you haven't played this game yet, you are missing out.
The PROS: The game looked so good back and by today's standards, it still passes as a nice game to watch in action. The graphics and overall presentation give it the preschool feel of lush colors, catchy music and kiddie sound effects. The controls are spot on; you will master them in a few seconds and start having fun quickly. There are lots of items to collect and so many enemies to defeat but you won't mind because there's so much variety as far as stages, puzzles and the enemies and bosses you encounter. Don't be fooled by the cutesy graphics and kiddy theme here; this game is notoriously HARD. It's also going to take you a long while to beat with 48 stages from the get go, plus 6 bonus stages open up once you get perfect scores for every stage.
In this game we get powerups and upgrades for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Gamma,& Big the cat.
Rayman 2: The Great Escapes find Rayman on a quest to free his friends and to stop Razorbeard, a nasty pirate who takes over Rayman's world and holds its inhabitants prisoners on his ship. You'll play through many levels fighting enemies, solving puzzles, sliding down slippery slopes, flying through the air and swinging around to reach Razorbeard and defeat him once and for all. You start off with limited powers but gain more as you collect Lums (gold hovering balls) and destroy iron cell crates, which unlocks bonus levels and helps you gain access to later levels. The levels are long and well thought out so you'll be spending time here taking your time and getting used to the challenge this game brings. After you finish each level, you can save your progress on your memory pack. This game also uses the expansion pack to bump up the resolution and boost the graphics.
The gamplay behind this is simple in concept, as the only buttons you really use are the d-pad and the jump button (and the Start button just in case you need a snack or bathroom break). The physics in Sonic's jumps are well-done, since the movement-arcs feel natural and there's no "sudden stops" when you stop moving, which like the jumps, feels more natural.
The dungeons are either incredibly simplistic with strategies that involve the overbearingly dull and overused crate-pushing to open up portals or switches, or hopelessly generic "I'm stuck in a maze and I can't get out" frustration that is an inconvenient trademark of early 3D game design. But... these aren't any ordinary mazes. These are mazes where your surroundings look identical around every turn, hence the flawed early 3D game design. A cheap way of making a maze seem more difficult than it has to be, or in other words, needlessly difficult chores instead of exciting castle exploration which is what made the 2D Zelda's so memorable. Sometimes you have to light torches with arrows or by other means, and quite often you have to collect 5 silver rupees to activate a switch/open a door. Collecting these silver rupees is WAY too similar to Super Mario 64 with the red coins. The Lost Woods is a tunnel-infested maze with no personality whatsoever. The Lost Woods -if you plan on getting everything the game has to offer- will most definitely be the source of endless frustration.
This is actually my second review of this game, though I had to do a follow-up after having played Jedi Knight 2 which is also based on the QIII Arena engine. Though older than JK2, Elite Force (EF) holds up pretty well. Its not as long as JK2 (you can easily finish the game in a week after playing a level a night) nor as difficult (the enemies aren't quite as overwhelming as in JK2, and the game relies on far less counterintuitive puzzles than that game). On the minus side, its not as challenging and the simplistic game play gets annoying really quick (instead of puzzles, you have to locate control panels, which your PDA will ID on any alien ship, and throw their switches). There are two genuine boss-levels in the whole game, and maybe twice as many true frag-fests. Echoing the differences between the Trek and SW universes, EF probably sees itself more as a thinking-mans shooter, but won't make you think too hard. Though you won't need to be any kind of Trekkie to get through or even enjoy the game, fans will appreciate how the QIII engine renders their ship.
3140 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in 1997 I got this game, and was shocked by how the FF series had improved! By far, I cannot find ONE FF game to match up to this installment. I still play FF7 on and off, I've beaten about five or six times. If you want one more classic PSone game before PS2 completely takes over...this is it!
It features very satisfying gameplay with lots of diverse weapons to choose and various aliens and humans to defeat.
9530 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I applaud the creators for their effort, which we all know was immense. I'm sure they put an insane amount of time and effort into this game, and they did manage to create some immersion. However, I did not care for the puzzles, and didn't feel inspired to go on. Video games work on a simple "reward" system. The level of difficulty should yield an equal reward. Otherwise, what's the point? Well I found with Myst that I was forced to accomplish and re-accomplish extremely large and time consuming tasks with little to no reward.
1716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best game series ever #naughtydog
2914 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my Favorite game of all time, I love it and luckily still have it. Final Fantasy VII is what got me into the Final Fantasy franchise and I own them all. I can't wait for the remake and am currently buying all the playarts figures off of Amazon. This is a must buy for any oldschool RPG fan
After 8 years LORDS of MAGIC did not get older, it got better.
I remember when the Saturn came out. I was a kid, and I had no money. But boy, did I want one! And the game I wanted, was Panzer Dragoon. A 3D shooter...where you ride on the back of a flying dragon. If that doesn't get your imagination going, nothing will.
2921 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just started disc 2. The event that unfolded before my eyes, to me is nothing less than a tragedy that occurred in another dimension, like a dream. I don't understand what it is about this game and how it was perfectly developed and presented to the player, but it will leave an impression on you that no other video game can, most movies can't either. This is an example of amazing story telling, genius manga art style from the peak in the 1990's of the style, and a phenomenal game play battle system. 10/10.
In this game you can for the fist time (in 17 years of MSFS) fly from city to city in GPS mode.
Basically, KOFDM99 is really the Dreamcast version of the Neo Geo game of KOF98:The Slugfest. This confuses a lot of people. KOFDM:99 and King of Fighters '99 Evolution (which is the real KOF99) are two totally different games.
I sincerely can't stress enough how enthralling this game is to play, as well as to look at. It really is beautiful from a visual aesthetic and technical design standpoint, and there really aren't too many games that matched its level of overall quality. This game is an all-time classic with good reason. It's one of the best games from its generation, it has that "just right" difficulty that many of its peers seem to be missing, and overall, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by passing it up. It's relatively cheap, and considering the quality of this game, it's an absolute steal. Buy this game, right now. There's no way you'll be disappointed with it.
other games than story mode
Other than that, the card works on just about every game I have played (Numbering 150+ games on my PS2)
The combat works something like an intricate game of chess. Characters have a Move and Jump rating determined by their Skills, Class, and some equipment alters these ratings also. Move and Jump together show you how far and where you are capable of moving. The Time Mage class learns a skill learn that allows you to Teleport around the map. Certain monsters and classes are able to fly (!), thereby removing the need to Jump. Different weapons have different attack ranges. Bows fire in a large ring around the character, being on higher ground allows a larger range. Lances reach two squares away from the character. Swords, daggers, axes, and rods have a reach one square. Guns (Yes, guns) have a HUGE range but cannot fire over obstacles, such as walls, trees, or other characters (Yes, you can shoot them if they get in the way), like a Bow can. Learning how to equip the right characters with the right weapons becomes very important as your amount of classes expands and the enemies become smarter.
8107 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Vampire Redemption is an excellent rpg set in White Wolf's World of Darkness. GET THE PATCH! (Available at a lot of sites including Activisions). Without the patch I'd have to give it around a 3. Mainly because out of the box the game has a number of gameplay problems, the biggest is not being able to save in the game anywhere other than your haven. This is annoying and hurts the game because you constantly have to replay dungeons. With the patch you can quicksave at anytime when monsters aren't nearbye.
Nice Game Fun - Easy to Play - Overall Rating 3.9 Stars.
3412 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 still the top of its design
get over in the end, and many themes in the game still do play.
9616 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you are a fan of the Air campaign over Korea then this is a must have! Mig Alley accurately depicts how chaotic and close the air combat was. The campaigns are robust in that you can control not only your flight but other units that can affect the outcome of the war. It takes time to learn how to do it but it is worth it. I wish there was more medals and stuff in the campaign. The graphics rock, but you need a PC that can take it, what else is new. Yanking and Banking in this sim is not easy because spins can happen at a moments notice. Once you get the hang of it though there is nothing cooler than watching a Mig-15 burst into a fireball! One draw back is that you can't be Mig in a campaign, but you can fly single missions in one.
9841 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Kirby's Dream Land is the first game in the ''Kirby'' series. In the game, King Dedede has stolen the magic Twinkle Stars, and if they are not recovered, the people of Dream Land could starve. Kirby goes on a quest to recover the Stars and save Dream Land.
1381 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't know how many times I've played this game from start to finish.
Sure, there were some average games on the PS1, and plenty of crappy games as well. But the same can be said for ANY video game console. Why should we focus on the less than spectacular games when reviewing a video game system anyway? It's completely pointless because ALL consoles have their share of average and terrible games. Every single one of them.
6175 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is most likely one of the best N64 Games Ever made, Its way better then Super mario 64 in everyway (and possibly Zelda too), its rich, colorful and very addicting, The soundtracks are also one of my favorite things about the game- it has a happy and also very awesome tune to them making them addictive (you just cant stop listening to it!), and the world designs (10 total I believe) are all very Beautiful and Gorgeous, I've beaten the game to 100% and I still go back to the worlds and gaze in thier amazement, its just really cool, this game is a MUST HAVE for any Nintendo 64 player, Im serious if you don't have this, your missing out BIG time.
3879 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ive seen some of the reviews and this item is notorious for just dieing. well its cheap enough. it dies ill get another. it does what its supposed to do. cheat your way to victory and enjoy your old games again :) Make sure the terminals on your game are clean or it won't work.
2410 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game I ever played!
7625 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 was advertised as "Good" but arrived in less than two days without the extra shipping and handling and the game itself came in the original packaging with the Game Booklet! very impressed with the buy
3478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The PlayStation, Playstation2, and Gamecube use memory cards to hold the data of a saved game, but Dreamcast went one step further with the Visual Memory Unit, or VMU for short. Rather than just a memory card, saved games could unlock minigames and the unit's screen also show in game features such as health condition for games.
This is an absolutely fantastic gem. One of the best sidescrollers to come out of the 16-bit era, which was the best time for those types of games. And one of the best Disney games ever made. I absolutely cannot recommend this enough. Get this for your Genesis or RetroN3 or whatever; just play it. Play it with Castle of Illusion SMS, World of Illusion Genesis, Power of Illusion 3DS, Magical Quest SNES, Great Circus Mystery SNES, and all those other great Disney sidescrollers.
4405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have played Activision's Dark Reign, you will love this one. Many of the features and commands are similar. Graphics are great with some cool special effects. All the units are small enough, so playing on a small monitor won't take away from the viewable battlefield. Reasource and troop management are not complex like many other games of this type. You will not have to memorize many complex keyboard shortcuts(unless you want to) because the mouse is used for most of your input commands. Starcraft still holds its own after almost 2 years from the release date. I highly recommend Starcraft for those who enjoy a good strategy game.
Difficulty: 9.5/10.0 Not as bad as Ocarina of Time, but that doesn't mean it is not frustrating and challenging. You can't be scared away by the challenge of these games because they are just too great.
The sound and day-night cycles are equally as good. The personality of the troops is well done - the Go Go trikes call out, "Yeah, Baby!" when you give them orders, and you're alerted when "The Sun emerges from its sleeping place." The cut scenes help build the atmosphere and get you involved in the various plots going on. This isn't just about killing off the enemy. It's about preserving your way of life, and discovering what has been hidden.
Story line, game play, graphic, music, and fun factor.. all A-rated. The graphic was the best from that time where everything's based with color green. The amount of detail was almost insane to the point where you can literally see mice running around. The appearance of night vision/thermo goggle gave a whole new look. The music was there to really raise this game to another height because the strongest point of this game is its story line, presented through cut scenes. When these emotional/shocking cut scenes are coupled with A-rated music, it really brings out the emotion and shock very effectively. It really brought vibration function to a new standard and believe me, time to time it makes fun out of itself for being a game, which didn't kill the game but rather added more spice to the game. Each character, whether pro/antagonist, there were strong character development though it might be a short cut scene. However, it was more than GOOD enough, you could literally be sympathic with the characters. Still, my favorite character Psycho Mantis,, oh man,, you just gotta play and see ",,it feels nice,,"
6022 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Definitely a great sequel to popular Diablo. Its very tricky to update the game enough to improve features and functionality and preserve the original theme at the same time. The folks at Blizzard North did an excellent job of it!
P.S:1.dont think im a know-it-all on this game cuz i jus looked in booklet an...2. DONT GET SEGA SMASH PACK! THIS VERSION BETTER! finally...3. i don't have golden axe 2 or 3 but they are WAY harder to get...!!!
Hmmm....Nothing
The shinra theme stands out to me to.
6711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Story: This game actually has a story to it. A fighting game with a story, who knew. The story is: A meteor struck the Earth, and caused great chaos. Seven gods from ancient times awoke, and are now attempting to take control of the post-apocalyptic world. These seven gods are giant dinosaurs and apes which is pretty cool. Now, as one of these crazy blood thirsty monsters, you are set out to conquer the Earth. The story is pretty good in my opinion.
9926 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nothing like reliving your childhood memories like breaking out the sega and playing all the old games you use to like this classic!
7095 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game having played 007 quite a bit, which was made by the same people and is one of the greatest N64 games ever made. The advantage that Perfect Dark has is in the multiplayer combat. In addition to friends, you can have up to 8 computers playing in the game, with any combination of teams that you want. This is fun with several real friends, or just for playing by yourself against others. The AI is smart enough to be extremely challenging at the hardest difficulty levels, or slow/dumb enough for a new player to learn against at lower difficulty levels. Newer systems have better multiplayer capabilities (online, or hooking up multiple X-boxes for Halo parties, etc), but for the N64 this is as good as it gets (and if you like to play against computers instead of real people, then this is as good as any newer system games that I've seen).
Gameplay: 10/10
1363 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it the kids love it and its not xbox 360 lol moms and dads and some grand parents would love it too.
Graphics- by today's standards, terrible; then, fine. There is plenty of blood effects, from splatters to puddles (which don't really look like blood...). Gore is big also, with the ability to take the heads off of many creatures with a powerful gun or something.
The CONS: The problems here are few but bothersome. First off, you only have 8 wrestlers and that is a small selection to choose from. Second, the game modes are scarce: there aren't any main story or tournament modes to play through. One player, 2 player vs. and tag team modes are no different from each other. Even though they look like the real wrestlers, the in-game wrestlers don't have any of their trademark moves. They all move the same and have the same basic moves so it didn't matter which wrestler you play with. Then there is the ring you fight in. There's only one ring you fight in. The crowd cheers for you in the background but it loops constantly so it will eventually get on your nerves. At this point, the game starts to get very repetitive with no real purpose other than to fight over and over again. Clearly, LJN just wanted this game out there since there were new gaming consoles that people were buying at the time.
One could probably 100% the entire game in less than 10 hours. It is a blast, but still short. There isn't much replay value because of the lack of story, but it is fun while it lasts.
5724 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rayman started off as a little known platform game in the sea of other platform games during the early Playstation days and thanks to positive word of mouth, it quickly had a cult following. That's a good thing because its sequel was released to the Playstation, Nintendo 64, PC and Dreamcast consoles in 1999. It's an awesome sequel and will catch gamers who don't know about Rayman by surprise at how good this game is.
This game is NOT a Resident Evil clone. There is no item management. It reminds me more of Clock Tower than Resident Evil. The environments look excellent with the fog and it only ups the tension. When it changes to night or dark, the game just gets better.
The strategic aspects of the game are not great, but the tactical combat is excellent. Battles can be hard until you learn a few tricks, such as using parrying warriors as decoys, or flying missile units.
Some people, though, might like the fact that they exhaust their investigations of other characters pretty quickly. It does speed game play, and isn't as frustrating as trying to find the right questions on your own might be. This *is* a big game, with lots of scenes and lots of people to meet. Speed-of-play matters. So, even if I personally believe there must be a better way to communicate to other characters, I can hardly rate the game down for what is possibly the best solution currently available.
You can't go wrong here. Happy Gaming!
Pros:
5351 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, almost. The developers added a few new twists, the most interesting of which is the puzzle mode. Each puzzle level begins with the professor standing on a different pattern of blocks. You've got to clear the blocks out from under him to get him to the bottom. If you don't figure out the right way to solve this puzzle, he climbs to the top of the blocks you're stacking up. The game's over when the professor and the descending spiked ceiling collide. This version of the game is entertaining and even challenging, although after a while you begin to wonder why you're trying to rescue a guy who insists on climbing to his death. Other new additions include an edit mode that lets you create and save your own puzzles. A split-screen mode enables two people to play Tetris at the same time without competing against one another. In the regular VS mode, you can still play the computer or a friend. As with most new puzzle games, you can send blocks to your opponents screen when you clear a certain amount from your own -- in this case, two rows of blocks cleared from your screen means two rows of blocks sent to your opponent. If you like Tetris and you1re looking for a familiar, addictive game, this is the answer. Tetris Plus hasn't revolutionized puzzle games, but it's still fun.
Thanks a lot, TOMEE : (
In this game, Kirby doesn't have copy abilites. Instead, you can inhale a bomb and spit it at enemies, you can eat a bowl of Spicy food and temporarily spit fire at enemies, and you can inhale a microphone and sing into it to defeat all the enemies on the screen. There are also items such as the Invincibility Candy, Pep Brew, 1-Up's, and the Maximum Tomato.
Gameplay is also where this game shines. instead of just running around and going place to place like any typical RPG, you can jump, dodge enemies, run into enemies with a Star, even attempt to swim up a waterfall. This game allows for a wide range of actions within the field, among those i just listed. And the camera angle is just right for most of the jumps.
5972 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow that game is addicting! I started playing and for some reason I didn't stop for like 2 months. So much stuff in the game your head will spin. Blizzard has really done it this time. A little different from the original Diablo but its all good. WOW! And the expansion is wow.
24 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this and the key didn't work. It was a gift, and the recipient wasn't able to solve the problem. It might have been a good game, but I never found out because the key failed.
3649 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this game at an arcade at a ski lodge........I didn't go skiing that afternoon.
7359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good game and good buy
Each of the tracks sort of have their own gimmicks, most notably Death Wind, mines, and ramps.
9679 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I put Mario Golf into my brothers Lime Green gmaboy color, expecting mediocrocy. I really don't like Gameboy games compared to the Playstations, and N64's and Dreamcasts etc.. Mario Golf however has amazed me. Its like you are a golfer at a country club entering tournaments and playing other challengers, and rivals. Its like the real thing. The golfing is just 1 part of this great game. Its traveling to different courses and trying to bring a good name, and gold to your own club. The main goal in this game is to win the 4 big tournaments, and meet Mario. Which I havewn't been able to do yet. Yet, I don't get aggrevated, this game isn't impossible, yet you can't win right away. You need to enter, tournaments, practice, get your shot examined, you need to compete in contests, listen to what other golfers have to say, and look for 1-up mushrooms. I play gameboy mainly in the car or on a planride, but this I will play just as much as my playstation. I hope anyone who has gameboy, will go out and buy this, you will be amazed when you see how much fun, and how realistic it really is.
Perhaps the only real problem with this game is that the interface needed a little more work. If this game let you restart a track from the pause menu instead of backing all the way out to the main menu, it would have been perfect. As it is, it's an awesome, awesome arcade conversion that arcade racing fans should definitely not miss.
9983 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Growing up, the Street Fighter series has always been my favorite ever since I first played SFII on the SNES. During the early to mid '90s, the Street Fighter II series have sold like hotcakes. Put a few copies of any kind of SFII title on your store (Whether it's the original Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Champion Edition, Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting, or Super Street Fighter II), and people will rush over to get their hands on it. Yep ! They're that good ! When Super Street Fighter II came out as the last SFII game for home consoles, fans agreed, it was the best fighting game they've ever played. However, there were some noticable flaws on the game that even starters of the series can recognize, but all in all, one of the best 2D fighters out in the market. Like any good SFII title, Super Street Fighter II's graphics still looked brilliant and smooth. The character animations and backgrounds, as well as the new ones, still retain its old glory from the original 1992 and 1993 releases, even on the Genesis version. Now they used the real anime art as featured on both the VS and Fighter selection screens. Not to mention, the opening looks great and better than the last SFII titles. When it comes to the audio, this is where the real problem begins ! The voice acting of Guile, Dee Jay, and the announcer really sound laughingly horrible ! This is something that Capcom shouldn't have done in the first place. If it hadn't been for the horrible voice acting on those guys, then it would've been the best since Street Fighter II Turbo. Some sound effects have changed, but not completely ! But on the plus side, the music sounds great with the unforgetable classic SFII tunes and some new ones. The gameplay is still great ! As always, anything with the name SFII has amazing gameplay balance than any other 2D fighting game. The most exciting thing about the gameplay is that all of the classic characters have new moves, but most of them are enhanced, like Ken's flaming Dragon Punch (better known as the Shoryuken), and for the first time, Ryu's Hadouken can burn people when you do half circle motion on your controller. The only drawback on the gameplay is the fact that you have to switch moves during play, if you have the standard issue 3 button Genesis pad. With this controller, you have to press start if you want to switch to punching mode or kicking mode. The only way you can play the game without having to switch moves is to get a 6 button pad. And come to think of it, I don't think a pause button exists as long as you have the 3 button pad. And as for the selection of characters, you still get some classic numbers like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Zangief, Dhalsim, Blanka, Guile, Sagat, Vega, M. Bison, and Balrog. Plus some new characters like Cammy, a young british girl on a mission to stop the evil M. Bison and the Shadowloo organization. Fei Long, a martial arts movie star with unsurpassed Jeet Kune Do skills. Some say that he's a Bruce Lee wannabe, but he does a good job at it ! T. Hawk, a powerful and strong native Mexican. And finally, Dee Jay, the fastest and fiercest Kickboxer of Jamaica ! So many good fighters, so little time ! So in conclusion, Super Street Fighter II is a true fighting classic on the Genesis and the SNES ! Although the SNES version proves to be better than the Genesis version, the Genesis SSFII proved that it could be a true fighing powerhouse in its own right ! If you still love playing fighting games on the Genesis or the SNES, you should know by now that your old school collection of games aint complete without any of the Street Fighter II series or Super Street Fighter II. This is the game that should not be left out, if you're thinking about buying an old Genesis or SNES ! So do yourself a favor and buy this game...if you can find it !
Well, the battles are the very essence of this game. Without the battles, you'd have a very [bad] movie with no action (the plot is centered to require the battles), and pieces of the story missing, since a lot of plot scenes occur in mid-battle.
Oh, and don't think I'm insulting New Jersey or anything. I was born there so there you go.
4330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No matter how old this gets, the graphics always look pristine. It's pretty much the father of all (good) RTS games. If you want to buy a starcraft, but this and brood war, not the second edition garbage. Must have for a pc gamer!

This is one of the best Playstation games ever, and I recommend it to all owners.
mediocre mini game (See above)
6916 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Product very good condition . very good game.
* There are around twenty different landscapes, each with their own objectives. + you can buy add on packs to add loads more
my first copy stopped working from playing it SO MUCH!!
Graphics- 10/10 Goldeneye set the bar when it was released, and Perfect Dark surpasses it, beautifly. Although the graphics are very similar in nature, everything is much clearer and smooth looking. The guns look much more realistic, and the special effects are upgraded. It isn't a dramatic difference, but Goldeneye had graphics far ahead of its time to begin with, and this game still satisfies. In fact it does much more than satisfy.
The only con of SR is its almost total adbandonment of classic big boss @$$ kicking. As most major opponents are invulnerable, the player must dicover his foes weakness. That, and several puzzle type situations that must be solved in order to progress may drive the player temporarily insane: But the game's drama content more than makes up for it.
As far as collections go, this is a very good one. Final Fantasy 6, originally 3, is a classic game, and considered by some to be the best FF ever. I can't say I think it's the best, but it is definitely an exceptional game that was even more remarkable when it was first released. It does already seem dated in many ways. At the same time, this is the final game in the series where you can experience the classic, 2D FF that many fans of the series have grown up with.
This game is a "nit picker" .. or perhaps more correctly a game requiring a lot of micro-management. This leads to both the charm and addiction of the game. If you want to sit down, play a 30 min-1 hr game and be done, this isn't it :)
If you want something that 4 guys (and/or girls) can enjoy, this is the right move!
considering its release in 1993, the sprites are very colorful, and the backgrounds are extremely detailed to the core, which
Some of the most thrilling parts of this game are just the little extras. Like when a Wonder of the World is built by your civilization you get a little avi movie that will suddenly load and it will show you a real life movie represenation of what is being built with an explanation of what it does. It's really cool to see the Statue of Libery wonder movie for instance and you see all the people arriving from over seas happy to see the Statue of Liberty before they show a few pics of it in the sun set. Also they have actual advisors that will talk to when you ask to speak to your council. There are five of these (Military, Science, Trade, Foreign and Entertainment) each of them portrayed by a real life actor who will tell you how you are doing in each area. So you may get the military guy yelling at you for not having city walls or the science guy calling you Einstien for being #1 in science advancements when compared to the rest of the civilizations. Every unit and building built has it's own sound effects too. Its truly a very complete and overall FUN game.
In January 2001, due to insufficent funds and low world-wide sales, Sega decided to pull the plug on the DC and simply become a 3rd party developer. Many wondered if Sega could survive as a 3rd party developer, but once again, Sega proved everyone wrong. Even though Sega was no longer producing the DC, they would still support it until March 2002, and some of the better games came out between these times. Daytona USA, NFL 2k2, NBA 2k2, NHL 2k2, WSB 2k2(sort of), Crazy Taxi 2, Phantasy Star Online ver. 2, and best of all, Sonic Adventure 2(which is possibly the best title on the system, next to Shenmue).
Most of the maps are just average.
1307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
--- Combat takes place in real time, using the stylus to control the main character, with an attack and defense mode.
For its time, the graphics were the best i had ever seen. I cared about all the characters and was very much into the deep and interesting story. The battle system is still one of the best in my opinion. I loved all the weapons, the sword designs were just awesome, I drew all of them at school all the time. And the materia customization was wonderful and made you think and plan. Apparently I was one of the only ones to think of using a limit break and mime it over and over again, at least from what ive gathered talking to other people about it, im sure others have done this. Everyone I talked to was all about "Knights of the Round" Summon, Pfffftt. Never got it, to much time for a 3 min summon. Why bother with a 3 min summon that does roughly 100,000 damage when I can do OmniSlash that takes 15 secs and does 150,000 damage, and can be repeated for free.
When you're not experiencing the endless disappointment that is running across empty and boring lands and basically doing nothing but wasting time, you're jumping across a series of unspectacular and very ordinary-presented platforms over and *over* again. This stuff seriously resembles a beginners course for developing platforms. It's extremely basic game design. The platforms are generic square-shaped tiles for you to jump across that quite often are all the same exact size. It gets monotonous almost immediately. Only unreasonable Nintendo fans would eat this stuff up, seriously. Anybody else would obviously be able to detect flawed, repetitive gameplay. The 2D Mario games move at such a swift pace that you don't even have time to stop and notice the platforms (unless you're an extremely slow gamer). This is mainly because you don't have to stop and situate Mario a certain way for the purpose of making the perfect jump which is what severely ruins Super Mario 64's gameplay. And don't EVEN say my skills are horrible when it's obvious through countless youtube videos that several gamers have the same exact issue.
Not as fun alone, but will last for a while in the beginning.
2. The graphics. The graphics are FANTASTIC for an SNES game. The frame rate is great for its time.
Sonic. Our six year old really
The only problems I have encountered with this card is that some games it is not compatible with, and the game will say there is no Memory Card in the PS2, or sometimes it doesn't read it at first, so try again and it should. I've never had to try more than 2 or 3 times.
It's not new. It's not full of eye candy. But the game is very enjoyable and worth the money if you enjoy playing with a good story.
This game is a great experience, and with a little spit and polish could be one of the all time greats. If you've got the patience and horsepower to see it through, you're in for a wild ride.
2594 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
The chiptune music is a lot of what makes the game stand apart. You can download newer versions of Tetris on your computer or maybe for your (3)DS, and most will have remixed versions of melodies that were present in this game. But it's not the same. There's a certain beauty in the simplicity of Tetris' three melodies. Also, the flow of each song is different enough to provide enough variety your block-dropping, which is really nice.
The strongest selling point of FF 7 at the time of it's release was the graphics, which today, understandably, have been surpassed several times over. However, some moments in the game still hold their own against the modern consoles, and for a seven year-old game, that's no small feat. What remains today is one of the best storylines ever, coupled with some of the smoothest game mechanics in videogaming history.
7575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game.
Shooting people in slow motion simply isn't enough to knock my socks off I guess.
102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very nice!
6476 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 But...I have to say nothing is greater than a game that loads you up with good graphics, good gameplay, good everything and let's you go up against the Nazis as an agent in the OSS of world war II. If your a history buff or are too young to have seen world war two this gets you pretty close to the action. you go through missions fighting through and completing objectives. (duh). So buy this game and enjoy
So, I think you should get this game. The story is great, the graphics are great, hey, EVERYTHING is great!!!
7201 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 PROs:
Music and sound fx are FANTASTIC....namely because they were pulled straight from the movie, so you have john williams playing for your video game.
I'm not unbiased and this really isn't all that much of a review but it really did have quite a few amazing and great games....most of which you can probably find on other consoles now but nothing can hang with the scrappy dc :D
6820 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While the game's illustration cover resembles more like the dark Mirage comics (Darker foot soldiers, turtles' over-sized headbands, serious looks and lack of pupils), the actual game is taken straight out of the kid friendly cartoon series (from the late 80s/early 90s) and thats usually the format of almost every Ninja Turtle game ported into Nintendo and this release was no exception. Even on hard mode, the game is very simple and short. With the turtle of your choice, you plow your way through several foot soliders, mousers, and roadkill rodney robots plus avoid a few obsticles while you make your way to the Technodrome and Krang and save your friend, April O'Neal. Unlke the TMNT games on the larger consoles, there are only five levels and five bosses (Rocksteady, Bebop, Baxter Stockman, Shredder, and Krang) so my only gripe was not providing a few more levels thus not adding a little more of a challenge to the game. Because of the game's success, Gameboy allowed Konami to make a sequel with a bigger challenge and more levels/bosses (TMNT II: Back From The Sewers). Other than the limited challenge (probally to target younger kids while the game's cover art is targeting older kids) its a fun adventure fun and slash game that great for all ages and its timeless. Grab your gameboy, this game, and a pizza and rock on!!
Overall this is still a worthwhile game even so many years later. Grab this game if you can and see what happens!
7321 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a fun game. This game keeps close to the alien movies, and especially to the fourth one. While some gamers complain that the game has a lot of dead space, with no killing, I didn't find that to be the case. I did cheat and use the cheats codes to help me get through the game, especially with those little facehuggers lying around the floor waiting to get you. The facehuggers can be frustrating, but with the cheat on, you don't die. I like the alien genre and if you enjoy the genre as well, you too will enjoy this game. It is great when it is best played in the dark.
In conclusion, words do not do this game justice. Play for yourself especially if you need to catch up on classic Final Fantasy games (now that they're going the annoying subscription fee route). Enjoy what brought this series to its success and make Sephiroth pay.
7356 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Beloved games owner.. Thank you for the item it work great in my gameboy color. But just a little heads up. you forgot to clean the cartridge. But other then that The game works good thank you
Cheap! Only $... or $... if you also want the firestorm pack.
5171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love metal gear solid i own metal gear 2 and 3 on the H.D. collection for my xbox360 and metal gear 4 to play on my ps3. metal gear solid 1 I also play on my ps3 it is amazing I had a few problems with the camera but that's only because im used to metal gears 2,3,and 4 but that's more of a personal problem if anything the game is just great in it's story telling and game play a thing the metal gear has always done right. The voice acting is amazing and this game was made in 1998. The graphics well I never really like talking about old games graphics because I don't know if that was good for back then or not but I would guess it was pretty amazing. The presentation is also very impressive right as you start out you will play as Solid Snake! Who doesn't like snake? You can read the story from the previous games in the extras or something like that although I didn't always like this game because I wasn't that good at it but again that's a personal problem. truthfully it took metal gear solid 2 and 3 to make me a fan. Then after almost beating metal gear 4 I came back to this. It was a lot more fun after becoming used to it and kicking butt. Anyway I'm having a lot of fun with this game I reccomend it if you like a Sci-Fi story or if you like stealth games If you like either of these buy Metal Gear Solid 1 and see if you like it then if you do buy 2,3,and 4 because those games and this one are all MUST BUYS!
You actually percieve all of this through Freeman's eyes, right in the game. Like I said, you must go into work at first. You run through bright, institutionalized enviornments and chat with your coworkers as you rush to get to your work center on time.
4413 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Diablo is the game that changed everything. I had high hopes for this expansion. This expansion was published by Sierra not Blizzard, and it shows. The install insists on installing bloatware. The Monk is added to the playable characters, but is not well thought out. A monk should be a hand fighter, but instead it uses the staff like a wizard. The special ability, to locate treasure is nice, but because the "search" skill can be learned in a book it is not unique like the trap finding of the rouge, or the smithing skill of the warrior. The monk is a disappointment. There are a lot of new items, mostly traps. Because it adds items, the player does not find as many good items, as it raises the probability of finding them. I did not find any new quests. This is a very old game, and while fun, it won't run in Windows 7. I had to dig out a very old XP computer before I could play it. I am glad that Blizzard has not allowed other publishers to create expansions since. I am glad to have played this expansion, but I don't think it was worth the price. The seller however was wonderful. I would recommend him.
A lot of objectives on each map. Rescue the hidden "babes", find keycards, solve lock puzzles, even crush toilets and drink the water to regain health. And you get a good number of maps too!
Sometimes it seems like a chore, instead of a game.
The System: The Dreamcast itself is very small,it's not as long as the original PS1 but it sits a little bit higher. Overall it looks very nice,Pictures don't do it justice,it needs to be seen in person. The Dreamcast's power light is also very unique,instead of being the usual green color,its orange (it's supposedly a very lucky color in Japan.) It also has 4 controller ports,and the usual hookup plugs in the back.
The game is one of those games that show the characters on a map before actually going into the levels. Once you go to a level, you're gonna be expecting barrel-blasting, Kremling-smashing, animal-romping fun! There is a lot to do in Donkey Kong Country. As a platformer, it doesn't disappoint with its gameplay. You can even ride atop an Animal Buddy, like a rhino or an ostrich. Rhinos can knock everybody out of its way, while the Ostrich guides you safely across the level. It can also float in the air like Racoon Mario in Super Mario Bros 3. The entire game is a bunch of fun.
Battles are quite challenging. Basically, you plan the moves for all of your characters and then turn control over to the battle system. There is also an option to have the battle system fight for you, but this mode is not recommended.
With Mario Party for Nintendo 64, they had absolutely no idea of how successful it has become. The game features your choice of six characters to choose from, Wario, Mario, Peach a.k.a. Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, Luigi, and Donkey Kong. The object of the game is to collect as many stars as possible by winning several different types of games including Tug O' War, where it is 1 player vs. 3 players, Bombs Away, where you have to try stay on a floating island for 30 seconds, without getting the shock from cannon shots coming, and there is Deep Sea Divers, where you have to collect as many treasure chests as possible, without losing your breath. There are also six different kinds of boards to play the game on, as well as two very special hidden boards, so look out.

New players will appreciate having a well crafted game that is a fun challenge, while experienced players will appreciate the subtle differences between the old and new version.
870 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am writing this review from what i thought of it before red alert 2 came out. this is a great game with a pretty good story line, though it lacks graphics. Westwood online (the multiplayer sever) is also very good. if your lookign to buy a good RTS i recomend red alert 2, but if you don't want to spend the money on RA@ this is still a great game.
You start out as one of many historic civilizations from Earths past and present. You can choose to be the Americans, Aztecs, Germans, Japanese, Zulu, Vikings and many more from all points of the globe. You start out with just a lone settler in the middle of an unknown area. You build one simple city and from there you just mold it in the path you want your civilization to go.
That said, the Dreamcast is a good console. The controllers look weird but actually sit well in the hands, and I like that the DC has four ports off the shelf. The console is also fairly compact. Plus, for its lack of titles, it had some really good ones: the original Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II come to mind.
3147 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It two words BUY IT.
Due to the age of the game, you may find problems playing it. I bought a new computer in January 2003 and on none of the 4 games will my computer play any of the music from the game; although the voices of QFG4 do work. You will need to do a Google-search for a program called Turbo, which slows down your computer's processing speed, just so you can complete certain sections of the game, in particular QFG1's maze room and QFG4's Mad Monk Tomb. Even then, using a new computer makes the Mad Monk Tomb impossible to complete.
End rating: 4 stars. I'm having fun, and that's what counts for a retro game. Minus 1 star since I have to use 3rd party freeware to get it to run in a window or proportioned correctly on my laptop.
About the only bad thing I can say about RE2 was the fact that the puzzles were a lot more simple and not very challenging compared to the others in the series. It's a minor flaw though and doesn't take much away from the game.
Curse, frustration, but with practice you might become a CB3W master
The good: Great graphics, nice jungle themes, great music.

2940 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great it's not as described completely has greatest hits on the side but everything was there and works great came really fast really good product from this seller will look from him before other
I think this franchise, like many others, continues soley for the purpose of farming user information; where it seems the real money is. If I can't turn it off, and some else controls the on-off switch, that's a problem. Sometimes it might be worth it, but not here. I found some entertainment value, but very briefly. Anyway, just my opinion...
9539 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 came in perfect condition very happy with this product. it works for all my gameboy systems. i would recommend buyng this product.
4558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything was in good shape when it arrived. It arrived in a timely manner. It completed my set of Tony Hawk games for the PSONE. It went well with my set.
First and foremost, fans of strictly 3D fighters (a la Tekken, Soul Calibur, or Dead or Alive) need not apply. This game is 2D only, and if you've grown accustomed to the slower pacing of most 3D fighters, the transition can be a bit of a shock. You should know what it is, exactly, that you're buying before you order. Also, this game isn't the best looking 2D fighter you can buy. While it certaintly looks nice, it doesn't look really any better than the arcade version as far as character animation and such goes.
Great music compliments this game. As I explored, I was wildly entertained by all the unique sound effects.
5439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my husband is VERY satisfied, 100% thank you so much, we didn't expect it so soon but it got here quick
For gamers who don't consider this to be so important, FF 8 still manages to nicely ruin the Final Fantasy reputation by being one of the most boring and unrewarding games in the series. Battles are innumerable and completely random, and fall into 2 categories: extremely easy and unfairly difficult. Case in point; you face Seifer's two main flunkies early on in the game, by which stage your levels are too high to build up quickly on the feeble monsters available in the college & the surrounding areas, and too low to beat these henchmen without massive amounts of luck. The result? You end up running about doing frustrating battle with low-level wildebeests for hours, and the game becomes very, very boring.
This is a game I shall NEVER sell to any store. This is mine for as along as I can play this.
The game is one of those games that show the characters on a map before actually going into the levels. Once you go to a level, you're gonna be expecting barrel-blasting, Kremling-smashing, animal-romping fun! As a platformer, it doesn't disappoint with its gameplay. You can even ride atop an Animal Buddy, like a rhino or an ostrich. Rhinos can knock everybody out of its way, while the Ostrich guides you safely across the level, though it also kills enemies. It can also float in the air like Racoon Mario in Super Mario Bros 3.
4545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT PROD.
South Park Rally
That being said, if you are the type that enjoys a good challenge and doesn't mind the AI kicking you in the pants periodically then by all means get this game. It is one of those classics from the golden age of gaming that most people have overlooked and is worthy of any strategy fan's collection.
2334 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is horrible first of all the play is slow. This game gets confusing after a while the levals are just too chanelging! The graphics are weak and a poor excuse for a star wars game. The voice overs are soo weak! It takes way too long to load and get thourgh a leval. This doens't even follow the movie real well it goes out of the way and follows the smallest details. This is a must not buy and a huge letdown. Star Wars derserves a better game for thier first movie a almost 20 years and especially with all the new technology around. Don't buy this game!
9908 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When this game was released in 1993, the Ninja Turtles' popularity was declining so Konami took advantage of the fighting game market (that was booming thanks to the popularity of Street Fighter 2) I would have to thank that lame third movie for the declining popularity plus copycats like Biker Mice from Mars and Battletoads that were taking its place.
For those of you older gamers who've been playing games way before Silent Hill was released, I bet you've played games that had their share of creepy moments- a certain memorable level in a video game that you've always felt uncomfortable exploring because you just didn't think you'd be able to calm your nerves when you arrive to that area of the game. Come on now, you can tell me it's "just a video game" but when everyone leaves your bedroom, and it's just YOU in front of your TV screen playing a video game late at night, you're bound to come across SOMETHING in SOME game that will frighten you. Now imagine if an ENTIRE game featured TOTAL nonstop adrenaline-pumping fear. A game that strikes fear inside of you like no other. We're talking about a game that forces you to think about death, and really frightens that little part inside of your head that you thought had been permanently laid to rest once you entered your teenage years. This game brings back every childhood fear and then adds some more.
Speed: Fastest boards, but poor handling and tricks.
3307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i am a collector for n64 games and this is a must get. out of all the games i have playied this game still has the best graphics for the n64, the samee highly detailed graphics from final fantasy VII for ps1 are used in this game. at first the movement controls seem hard because of how the view changes when walk around but after you get to the police station in the beginning you can the hang of it and really figured out and get well with it. this game has made it into my top ten games for n64 games and posibbly a spot in my top ten games of all time
The game eases you into it, and gives you a solid twelve to fifteen hours of gameplay the first time through. But you won't want it to end. I guarantee it. If you haven't bought it already, buy it now. This game would be a bargain at $100.
1867 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a lot of fun! The environments are adorable and the gameplay is a lot of fun. There is quite a bit of stuff to do and the game is kind of challenging. My only problem is the movement is a little goofy feeling at first, but you will get used to it.
The Descent series have always been my favorite first person shooter (along with Jedi Knight), and D3 does not disappoint in any way. The visuals and FMV cut scenes are stunning and the sound is excellent. I highly recommend for anyone so equipped with Environment Audio on their sound card to use the full four speaker set up, because D3 was produced and recorded in Dolby Surround, and it just adds so much to the experience. You'll also need a death machine of a system to run it.
9356 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If you don't have an instructions manual for this game, good luck finding out what your objective is.
This game does have an excellent cast of characters, and one of the better storylines in the series. The espers, the first real summon monsters, are really cool, and theres somewhere around 30 of them, much more than any other game, which I like. Each character has unique abilities and weapons, which makes for great variety. A very fun old school RPG.
7191 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When Perfect Dark came out it was by far the best shooter, not one matched it. It was the awakening of shooters to show everyone how good they could really be. It's crazy plot about a secret agent trying to stop aliens keeps you in it but all the objectives that you must complete and the crazy gear you get make it by far the best. The multiplayer in this so far can only be matched maybe by Halo. This was the first game that let you pretty much get to customize every option of the game.
8940 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everyone remembers "Metroid" for the NES and its sequel for the Game Boy, "Metroid II: Return of Samus." Well, third time's the charm for this series as Samus Aran must hunt down and capture the Metroid larva that had been taken from a security lab. Once again, she battles through Zebes. Read on to see WHY this is the best Metroid game in the series and why I think it's the best game on the system.
9278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing old school game love it!!
6391 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 "De plane! De plane! It's stuttering! De plane!" First of let me say that you need a computer the size of the Empire state building to run this game. I got a PIII 800 with a GeForce 256 card and a 256 memory and this game tore it to shreds in a matter of minutes. This made me think again about upgrading my system. As long as you fly straight it's ok; that is if you want to fly to the North pole or the South pole everytime you boot up this game. But once you turn the aircraft, you'll experience graphics turbulence. You'll feel your computer shudder and shake as it battles it's way to redraw the scenery. You'll see your frames slow down really bad. Lower the graphics settings? Try it and you'll just make this game laugh in your face. Download the patch? Yes, I did and it was still stuttering. You can make every upgrade you want on your computer but if the game is the problem then it's a lost cause. If you're thinking about picking up this game, make sure you have a powerful computer that runs on nuclear energy. Like most other Microsoft Flight Sims, this one is geared more towards the gamer side and not so much on the real simulator enthusiasts. The planes are just too easy to fly. You could ask your kid brother to do the take-off procedure. Realism is not that all real as the game boasts itself to be. The game does have its own pluses though like a huge database of airports, downloadable Jeppesen weather reports, and of course there's a lot of third party support on this. If you're a gamer who wants to try flight sims then pick this game up. If you're a simulator , then pick up something else like Fly 2K! (very realistic) or Aerowinx 744(very very realistic).
1280 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game works great
Turok 3 Shadow of Oblivion
There are multitudes of enemies in the game. Sure, you won't have to fight more than 2 or 3 enemies at a time at intervals, but that's not a problem whatsoever.
8890 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is Tetris. I always loved this game, I played it on my Gameboy since I was four. I grew up playing this game, and I never got tired of it. My only complaint is, if you want it, don't order it on Amazon, buy it at a flea market or something.
Everything.
2368 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Thanks again for this I have been a pokemon fanatic ever since I was a kid. I couldn't ask for more thanks again.
The story launches off with a teenager named Squall who is training to become an elite soldier called SeeD in an a huge place called Garden.
Second, there's just too much stuff! Remember in Diablo 1, where there were a dozen kinds of swords and like a hundred different kinds of armor, not counting the two billion magical prefixes and suffixes and all of the Unique items? Well, that's ten times as bad in D2. There's twice as many different categories of items (belts? what the...?), and there are twice as many items in each category. It doesn't stop there, either: it is now possible for nonmagic items to have prefixes as well, and many of those prefixes mean the same freaking thing! A belt can be "poorly made," "low quality," "slightly lower quality," "chipped," "cracked," "rusty," "damaged," "even more damaged," blah blah blah blah blah umpteen et cetera, and it contributes absolutely JACK FREAKING SQUAT to gameplay! Diablo 1 had 2 different potion strengths: Partial and Full, and that was all you needed, but D2 saw fit to create five different potion strengths. You get the idea.
2) Art Direction: The artistic direction of this game is so focused and consistent, that it becomes totally convincing and ultimately haunting. The character design, colors, and shadows create an amazing atmosphere that comes through on every single map. The visuals of the spells are beautiful... bursting with colors and interesting particle effects. At this time, Square's magic spell had such a unique look to them, that it was almost like recognizing a great artist's style. They really stood out that much over the other games out there. Even with the crude polygonal maps and limiting rotoscoped bitmaps, the look of the game is impressive even today, causing the replay value again, to be high, because it is always engrossing to enter this world.
996 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My N64, it acts like a rock sitting right there under my tv. I bought a total of 8 count em 8 games on this pathetic system (I have what about 60 for my computer). But this game made me believe that a good shooter could be made on consoles (although very few of the ports from pc to consoles are, usually the original games for the consoles are good.)Of those 8 games I have, this one is worth about 10. The makers of this game are geniuses and have spread that on to other games like the timesplitters series (if there is any game that will make me buy a gamecube, besides metroid prime, it IS timesplitters 2. It is a master peace that will be lived on in my memories and it will remain stuck in my damn cartrage slot of my forgotten n64, or it would be forgotten, if not for this game
4487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played many types of Civilization type games - from the original Civilization to the current Civilization III and everything in between.
8516 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 fun
4817 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although Warcraft 3 and its expansion have come out within the last few years, I still prefer Warcraft 2 a bit more. Yes the game looks kinda dated now, but it is still a blast to play. The game was fun in that it never got too complicated or anything so that newcomers could always have a good time. The map editor was easy to use and the online play in the Battle.net edition will keep you busy for a while. Anyways, if you've only played Warcraft 3 then it might be difficult for you to enjoy this game since it is so old, but if your willing to look past the graphics then you'll find a real gem.
5. The game has no replay value, I played through it once, then about a year later, I attempted playing through it again, I couldn't bare it, the game is just too boring. I played through Final Fantasy VII and VIII twice each, and those took alot longer than this to finish, they were both great both times through.
The storytelling is really basic and predictable. It's never elaborate like in Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. It's mainly about rescuing or saving these mountainous cave creatures called Goron's for the first half, and going back and forth from the past to the present in the second half. This is a really uninteresting way of time travelling that feels almost nonexistent due to being so poorly and unsatisfyingly implemented. It doesn't even feel or look like you're going 7 years into the future as Link's appearance is supposed to be that of an older person but he doesn't appear to be much different from his younger self. Oh sure he's slightly bigger as an adult and slightly smaller as a kid but it's very subtle. The music is the one area where the game succeeds quite amazingly however. All the theme songs are not only appropriate for the environments, but melodic and memorable. Several dungeon themes are well-made and believably chilling and haunting. The right ingredients were definitely put into the music-making aspect of the game. The Hyrule overworld theme is enjoyable too and won't get on your nerves despite all the time you will undoubtedly spend there.
There are a total of six zones in this game. From the first to last, they are: Green Hill, Marble Zone, Spring Yard, Labyrinth, Starlight, and Scrap Brain. Each zone has three acts--two of which you will simply have to run through in order to beat. At the end of every third act, however, you will find yourself fighting against Dr. Robotnik. After defeating him, you will have to blow up a capsule containing a large amount of animals, seeing them free as a result.
8941 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here I compare Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion--if you're familiar with either title, you'll see how I feel it equates to the other. The short, one line summary of how I feel? Fusion is a great new title and far above what we see most of the time these days in the 2D world, but it still isn't quite up to par with Super Metroid. Just a few days ago I thought perhaps Fusion was better than Super Metroid--but that would be incorrect. If you have a choice to get one or the other, get Super Metroid. Not only will you automatically get bragging rights to ownership of a game that's older than a great fraction of the world's population and going on 10 years old, but you'll get the game that's easier on the eyes and a blast to play.
If you're reading this, chances are you're probably full aware of what kind of amazing experience A Link to the Past is. It's difficult to separate nostalgia from objective features that make the game so gosh darn great, but remember that the nostalgia exists precisely because it is that great.
It's incredibly easy to get lost in this game given the size of the world you explore. So easy in fact, that I can't walk very far without having to resort to an online walkthrough to help me figure out where I am and where I'm supposed to go next. While some might like this games gigantic size, I prefer a shorter more straightforward approach to the Donkey Kong series. This is only a minor complaint, but your animal friends are limited to a couple rare appearances by Rambi, Enguarde and Squawks. Very limited selection most likely because the emphasis lies on the Kong's themselves. I also have mixed feelings with your life meter which is made up of watermelons. Every time you take a hit a slice of watermelon is removed from your meter (and when you defeat enemies slices of watermelon appear on the ground as a way to get some of your health back). However I understand the reason behind this- this game, specifically the boss fights, can be relentless and quick which requires a bunch of health just to stay alive.
This game moved me so much...am I a geek?...there's so much depth in this piece of ...art.
Well I'm probably one of the few fans who is so interested in the story. Isn't this just the Blade Runner story anyway?
The Playstation made waves and drew many Nintendo fans away with its 32-bit graphics and CD based games. For the first time, Nintendo was being challenged on its own ground and they had to answer Sony with a console of its own. After they put the Super Nintendo system to rest, they went to work and released the Nintendo 64 to the public. The odds were against them because with only two launch titles to choose from, early adopters had to either pick Pilotwings 64 (a good game) or Super Mario 64. This game was the reason Nintendo's console immediately flew off the shelves and showed that Mario can make the jump to 3D and it was fun doing so.
578 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great!
4718 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game, just annoys me to the point i don't want to play it. the term Metroidvania doesn't do it justice if anything it insults the Metroid name because everything in Metroid is about exploration and everything is deliberate. SotN just teases you in the first part of the game and annoys you all together. so, at the start you play as Richter Belmont, picking up from Rondo of Blood, or Dracula X in the west. you reach Dracula and enters chessy voice acting. so your like oh ok, i can dig this, but you're already fighting dracula so what else is there to fight? fast forward a couple of years and now enters Alucard, running through the forest and jumps the gate. awesome scene, now your in control and this guy has a powerful weapon and armor. so everything just dies in one hit! yeah! just as powerful as Richter. then its taken away from you. that. is. so. not. cool. why the big tease?? where in development they thought was a good idea to show players Alucard's powerful equipment then have it taken away?? then the sense of direction. oh my god, after that big tease you follow the path and then after a while you explore but you can't because you need a relic to open blue door, but you need to find the relic, but you don't know where to find it! you find those relics laying around only that they supposed to be in the game already! not a fudging relic to show enemies names or the damage! its cryptic and its not known where to go. then the spells, its never told that you can cast spells to gain small health and summon a spirit. however! moving away from the negatives i will say that the soundtrack is amazing, and the graphics have aged well. its an ok title, much like Simon's Quest this game isn't for everyone and i'm almost done playing the game and i feel i've wasted so much time getting lost i just want to fight Dracula and get it over with! that's the point isn't? to get lost, waste time, get powerful, and then comes the endgame boss, your pretty powerful already, so you'll be disappointed on how the boss fight came out.
997 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The names Bond, James Bond. Those five words mark the saying of probably on of the most famous fictional spy of all time. And, finally he came to the Nintendo 64. This game is by far the best game for any console. It kicks Resident Evil's butt all the way back to campcom's facility to teach them not to make such stupid looking games.
2671 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This joystick is great for all kinds of games particularly flight sims. I love its rudder controls. All you have to do is twist the stick left or right. It has tons of buttons, all fully programmable. If you want to buy a joystick, definetly purchase this one, don't get the force feedback, that stick is just plain annoying.
When Capcom announced Resident Evil 2 after the first one was a success, they announced it to be released in 1997, but 90% of the way through Capcom decided to scrap that project and start over (this would become normal for Capcom throughout the years of Resident Evil history), but what people saw at E3 was a totally different game. That version is called by the fans Resident Evil 1.5 and fans have been pleading with Capcom for it's release...
6809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I always liked Sonic 1 and Sonic 3,, but I just enjoy 2 the most. I love the bonus rounds, and the music from this game can be stuck in my head for weeks. When I was rebuilding my videogame collection, this was on the top of the list to repurchase. :)
Rather than focusing on a single character and a few side actors, Final Fantasy VI features a playable cast of over a dozen characters, nearly all of whom receive a great deal of development, and none of whom truly receive the lion's share of the focus. Something that I have always found bothersome in a lot of rpgs or anime for that matter, where most of the focus is on one particular character and the story is centered around that character, whereas final fantasy VI kind of has much attention and greater focus on each individual character, although there are some characters that play very little rolls, but they are mostly optional characters and not really considered part of the main cast like Mimic for example.
Did I have complaints at the time?
809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goldeneye set the standards for every FPS that has followed. It is the best of the best. The levels are action packed and extremely memorable. I can do the levels in my head I've played them so many times. The graphics are dull now, but back in the day these visuals were top notch. The music involves some of the best techno I've ever heard. The game is also surprisingly difficult. I took me ten years to beat all the difficulty levels. The multiplayer is ahead of it's time with four player large arena style deathmatches. This game should be missed by no one, pick up a copy today and first hand see the best.
There is not much to complain about, as this game really showed players what the N64 was capable of. It's unfortunate that other game publishers didn't work this hard. But then again, "Ocarina" is a tough act to follow.
4971 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am apalled at some of the negative reviews on this game. It combines spectacular graphics(It was built on the Unreal engine, so what else would you expect?) and a totally engrossing storyline. If you have a good top end graphics card that supports Direct 3d, then you are in for a spectacular journey in this game. The direct 3D mode of this game is absolutely breathtaking especially in certain levels. I have experienced no sluggishness at all with my Riva Tnt 2 Pro video card(a top end video card that is excellent). However those who choose to use the low end cards like the entire Voodoo series(the yugos of computer video cards), will not enjoy this or any other game because of all the sluggishness those cards produce frequently. I fully recommend this game to anyone who like me has waited for a a perfect blend of Role playing and fps games. The playabilty of this game is wonderful and it is a fun, challenging game as well. Enjoy!
(You know what, I get tired of people thinking I actually LIKE this thing, so I change the star rating to give it the score it deserves...)
The objectives you have to complete are always pretty fun, and not too difficult (until later in the game). When I say "not too difficult" I mean, not too difficult to understand *and* not too difficult to complete. Whenever you want to find out what you have to do, just press the Start button and your short and simple objectives will be given to you right there.

936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is, to me, not only the greatest Zelda game in the series, but also the greatest game I've ever play.
There are more buildings, tons more upgrades, and a brand-new unit I like to call the x-factor: the trebuchet. This is one of the units that makes AOE 2 a true delight. As built up as a city can become, it can be destroyed in minutes with enough trebuchets.
This is the pinnacle of the glory days of gaming, a polished gem that is THE essence of videogaming.
6753 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the computer is CHEAP AS IT GETS... but MK is still a classic...
1621 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Twisted Metal games in my opinion have seen their day since this gem was released. I have spent many hours playing this game either by myself or with friends. This game is a lot of fun with a lot of replay value. The game boasts good graphics and sound. I would recommend this game to anyone that is into vehicular combat, fighting games and competitive fun.
2726 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Honestly I miss RPGs like Lunar, now days most RPGs like the newer Final Fantasies feature a story that is too complicated and sometimes weird to thoroughly enjoy. Lunar keeps in simple, by making the story a tried and true good versus evil story, and by doing an excellant job on developing the charectors within the game. I guess its simplicity could be the downside for some gamers, but I personally enjoy a great old school RPG like Lunar from time to time.
Metal Gear Solid 3:Widely Considered to be one of the best if not the best game in the series. Game play now revamped its now more about sneaking around outside with survival elements thrown in and it is considerable upgrade in game play and story compared to MGS 2 however if you loved MGS 2 you may find these changes to be less of a good thing.
That's the twist; Manny, and just about everyone else in the game, is dead. This whole game takes place in the Land of the Dead of Mexican/Aztec folklore, with a strong Art Deco influence, with heavy doses of '30s crime noir thrown in. Everyone in the game is fashioned to look like the sugar skeletons used in Day of the Dead festivals (called 'calaveras'; get it?).
The game is set late in Voyager's run... seemingly in the last two seasons, though I'm not certain EXACTLY when. Voyager's command staff decides that they need a specialized team to deal with "extreme situations" (instead of sending the command crew in to get kidnapped every time). This is an extra duty for these crewmembers, and some of the new Hazard Team are characters previously seen on the show, while others are entirely new. The only character from the show you really interact with on a regular basis is Tuvok, since the Hazard Team reports to him. You'll occasionally deal with other characters as well, but for the most part, you're on missions with the rest of the Hazard Team and will be on your own.
1825 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This video game is just great in every way. I am a huge Crash Bandicoot, and none of the Crash game I played beats the original. This game introduced a whole new way of video games and has great graphics for a PSone game. I would recommend this game to anyone old, or young, as anyone can just pick up this game and play it.
In battle, you select commands to attack; however, your characters learn a series of new attacks when they use the attacks they begin with. Characters also learn team attacks when they use their attacks often. This is a pretty cool feature as battles don't become stale fast.
8370 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So, you've mastered the original Tetris and are looking for a fun alternative? You've come to the right place.
The controller works wonderfully on my PlayStation 1, but does not connect to the PlayStation 2, like the description reads:
Soul Calibur may be the greatest multiplayer game on the Dreamcast but Sonic Adventure is the best single player game for the Dreamcast and my choice for best overall Sega Dreamcast game.
6061 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this when I was in my "Adventure" mode. Several other games earned my dollar, such as Lightbringer, Gabriel Knight 3, Kings Quest 8, etc. This one, however, was not really with the $19.95 I spent.
Here is the flipside. This game is not NEAR as good as, say Hydro Thunder, or Need for Speed. The best thing about this game is the multiplayer, as the single player gets old fast.
2nd Worst Flaw: You can't revisit bosses without a secret code. You should be able to revisit bosses without having to have to look for secret codes to do so.
6460 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS GAME IS A CLASSIC! Love the MOH series and this is the game that started it all! Go deep into enemy territory as An American OSS officer fighting in Nazi Germany During WW2. This game has it all. It's sooooooooooo Sick. You Battle tanks, sabotage U-Boats, take out machine gun turrets and just kick nazi but in general. The game play is pretty straight forward so you can just pick up and go! You owe it to yourself to pick up a gaming classic!!!!
7441 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another best classic game keep the price right.buy this game.
5359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I liked the game. It had the same control as other PS1 games. I would compare it to the other Mortal Kombat games.
1221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good and as expected. Recommended !
6593 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've noticed a couple people complain about the load times (especially during battles). There's a quick and easy fix for PS2 owners: In the main menu under the PS1 Driver, there's a setup option for "Fast Loading". When you turn that on, the game will load as fast as the original cartridge did. Problem solved.
7169 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Good: Classic platforming gameplay, decent story, lots of places to go, lots of different things to kill
Lots of hours of thrilling, fascinating and ever changing gameplay in here. I guess it is a must-have for all real time strategy fans. After playing AOE and AOK I will buy the follow up without hesitation as soon as it lands.
The N64 became a bit of a party machine around the house here with the Mario Party games, the WWF/WCW wrestling games, racers and of course, Goldeneye. PD adds even more customizable features and just generally a lot more stuff but to access it all you need the expansion pak and of course the more people, the bigger the knock against the framerate. Most of my family and friends would just pop in Goldeneye for multiplayer so it's hard to say how it would stack up.
Gameplay: 8.1/10
Cons: a little to easy to beat
pass up the opportunity to own this game before it leaves amazon or any other outlet!
This game will prove to be moving and exciting. It's the first RPG I've played with a love story. Just don't give up at the end of Disc Three!!!! Many do!!!!
Soldier of Fortune, which uses a totally revamped version of the Quake II engine and which is co-produced and released by Activision and Raven Software, is not mearly a combination of previous action games. It in fact takes the game type to a whole new level by adding in some serious real world guns and putting you in real terrorist situations. Although you have to handle them with very rambo-like tactics, the action is fast paced and the cutscenes weave in nicely with the shooting down of the bad guys. However, is it too much to ask to have their lips move when they talk?
13. Catacombs Of The Talion
The music isn't incredibly memorable but it adds life and great background to each location and event the music is featured. The voice acting is amazing some great voices. The one thing that feels odd to me is the voice of Alex, Ashley Angel, is a member of the boy-band O-Town. Although it isn't the most baddest thing in the world, it feels odd.
7624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game,the only thing I hate is moving Dash,the way it is stinks. Other than that the game rocks. The game starts out flying a plane and destroying the Empire's tanks. You journey then leads you to a junkyard,a moon base,a sewer with who knows what is living down there,a palace,and then a Space Battle. This game is really cool,and everyone should play it. Even if you hate Star Wars try this out,you'll be happy you did!
4574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok first of all, let me tell you the game works fine. It didn't crash on my system, and it didn't crash on two of my other computers (one of them only runs on a PII 400 mhz). I think the problem lies with the user. During installation, DO NOT install the A3D drivers. It's just common sense. If you don't have an A3D soundcard then don't install the drivers. Plain and simple. Some users feel they need to install every thing the game asks them to install but in reality you don't have to. Basic point is to know what your computer has. This game will ask you to install Direct x 7.0a. If you have Direct x8.0a then don't install Direct x 7.0a because its an older driver.
The graphics are amazing, especially for a game that had nothing to do with the Quake III engine.
Two more quibbles. The Matrix style 'Bullet Time' effect is nigh-on useless. Fair enough, your enemies slow down. But so do you, so you can't exactly do anything that you couldn't have done in 'normal time'. Lastly, the 'dream sequences' are awful. Annoyingly awful. Drab mazes straight out of Lara Croft's garden. About as stimulating as Snake on your Nokia.

The next good thing is the soundtrack. It is perfect. Every scene has a unique track. Sometimes I have the character just stand around doing nothing so I can enjoy the music.

If anything did go against Final Fantasy VIII, it would be some of the things at the core of its gameplay. As mentioned earlier drawing is downright boring and long. There's little incentive to use magic and there's not much point to level grinding or any incentive to actually work for abilities either (why bother if enemies will level up with you?). The biggest problem is actually getting new weapons. In most RPGs weapons are found or bought in item shops or earned as rewards for defeating certain enemies. Final Fantasy VIII does away with all that and makes you scrounge for items to make weapons. At first it seems creative, but getting some of the more lucrative weapons becomes very taxing and repetitive. You might find yourself getting into several battles just to get one part for a weapon. It's helped a little by letting you change items and cards into tools, but some can only be obtained by defeating enemies. Getting new weapons and making characters more powerful should be a bit more fun than this. Final Fantasy VIII manages to turn it into a chore.

5753 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 8 - everyone was waiting. And when it finally arrived.. some were disappointed. Others were not. Everyone has their own opinion and thoughts, but what it comes down to is one of the more controversial Final Fantasy games. Some believe that Square is losing it, others say they're simply making their games more serious. But, in my opinion Square was going for something new.. and they wanted to see how their followers would react. I personally loved the game from beginning to end. Gone is the Materia and MP magic system, the characters resemble real people (to a certain extent) and the 'fun' has been zapped out.

7725 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
story 10/10
If I have a complaint with the game, it is the interface by which your character, Manny, communicates with others. You choose from among several sentence options, like those old "choose-an-ending" books. It's not a *bad* way to play a game, I suppose, but just as multiple choice tests are always easier than writing essays, being able to choose from amongst a few limited options make it easier to get information out of the rest of the game's cast. As a result, solving problems is sometimes dead simple. Of course, there aren't many better options for game developers trying to give players a sense of control of their destinies, but it makes one long for the day when the promise of a game like _Titanic_, with its limited ability to understand unique phrases typed in by the player, might be more fully realized.
The levels were all colorful and easy such as the beautiful Green Hills and Starlight Zone plus the brilliant Scrap Brain levels, but like another reviewer said the best part of this game were the special stages. If you collected all 6 chaos emeralds you get a different ending with Dr Robotnkik stomping on the words THE END.
Gameplay: Very similar to the first game--a lot of mouse usage, along with the keyboard for hotkeys. This game is a bit more linear than the first Diablo, since none of its 21 quests are randomly selected (they are the same each game). However, the story is well told through first-rate cut-scenes and dialogue with NPCs. This game is much bigger than the first, and there are four different areas that you adventure in, including a desert, plains, a jungle, and, of course, hell. Most fights are resolved quick and nasty; however, the bosses at the end of each act (there are four acts) are all good fights. Diablo himself is much nastier than he was in the first game. You can hire a NPC to travel and fight with you, which is a nice feature that adds more excitement to the battles. Gameplay is overall quite good for a hack-and-slay action adventure with a sprinkling of roleplaying elements. There are really just two big problems. First, the game places quantity over quality when it comes to encounters with monsters. After you wade through literally hundreds of creatures, you will likely only remember the tough ones which infrequently appear and the end bosses. Although there are dozens of monster types in the game, they all become rather monotonous after you kill 50 or more of each type. The other problem with the game is the save system and what happens to you when you die. As others have said, Blizzard made a big blunder by having a game-save system that does not allow you to save the game where you are. Instead, when you save, you must exit the game. When you play again, you start out in the local town. Also, when you die, you are "resurrected" in the local town, but you must go back to the spot where you died in order to claim your equipment from your corpse. And of course, more likely than not you'll have to fight your murderers to get your stuff back. This system, and the music, are the only things that are inferior in Diablo 2 as compared to the first game.
2. While the storyline is intriguing, it is possible to nearly finish Riven before discovering the diaries that further explain the plot. I wish I had known more of the background of the story a little sooner in the game.
3361 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to have this game years ago, and I loved this game! I have played this game numerous times and still have to figure out how to get the 3rd ending! Many hours of gaming where you have to solve puzzles and even my 10 year old granddaughter is enjoying the game and helping me solve the riddles!
7615 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Kids and I had great time recapturing memories! Very entertaining and the graphics are great. Also, the packaging was very well done. : )
The story is pleasingly deep, both in the main storyline as well as individual storylines for each character. The list of items and equipment is extensive. There is also an extremely high replay value for a single-player game, as the world is so vast, the items so plentiful, and the rewards for sidequesting high, including Yuffie and Vincent (two party characters) and a wealth of exclusive items, usually materia (used to cast magic, add a buff, or add extra abilities) or Limit items, which give characters a sort of ultra attack.
6055 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I found this game to be just so so. With computer graphics you'd think that they'd be able to make the aliens more alien. They remind me of stormtroopers in black armour. I feel this game was limited to 1930's stile imagination.
Dexterity (hitting fast enemies ups this)

The game is now seperated into 9 missions with seventeen levels plus three extra levels (available when defeating the game on different settings) and one bizarre shooting level called "The Duel"
8587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived as expected
Buy this if you want a very good platformer.
It is an excellent game for kids who are looking for fun, and for young adults who want to switch from the usual First-Person shooter games.
331 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I bought 4 of these, 1 of which was shipped to me with defects, and 2 more became defective within about 2 weeks of normal use. I would not recommend these to any one, but couldn't give a 1 star as1 of 4 cords still works fine
Some reviewers have complained of technical problems and crashes- I've played this game through to the end at least three times now on an out-of-the-box standard Gateway, and I haven't had any problems.
5323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GTA 2 is the last game to have the overhead veiw, but it has the most weapons and best playing style of the originals, would definitely recommend for GTA fans.
p.s. If you are a cheater type person I would recomend actually trying to play the game before you wimp out and use cheats, it is possible:)
If you enjoyed playing Starcraft, then you will enjoy Brood War.
3049 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just finished writing a review of the excellent soundtrack to this game and realised I hadn't even written a review for the game, so here goes. In my opinion this is the greatest video game of any genre, of all time. The Final Fantasy series in general is probably my favourite series of games (awaiting XII eagerly), and VII is the best of all.
Something about the location didn't set right with me. Oh, I know...it's not Raccoon City. Well, I guess they couldn't help that after Nemesis, but still.
The game is very deep in its strategy. It's a lot easier to screw up than it looks. The game is not that long, but the levels can throw you for a loop. Especially the advantage cube which will even capture forbidden cubes if they're in range. There's really nothing more to the game than that.
2514 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great!
Sound B
This is what adventure gaming was fated for.
The weapon advancement to each figher is pretty brillant also. The sound for this classic is nice too.
The game itself is very well done, tons of fun. I don't know what I enjoy more, building the park ago, but have found most sims since then rather boring. This one is NOT! Definitely a winner.
1496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game broke new ground for the video game industry, and not just for the violence, but for the environments and gameplay. This PS1 game is Doom and Doom II bundled into one, and it's great. Playing it on a PSX or PS2 is just as good, if not better, than playing it on a PC. It's a blow to political correctness everywhere.
You will find other neat things, such as different weapons. A straw can be used as a spitball shooter, and there are also toy dart guns which you can use. If you have the spare cash, you can purchase a frogball bat for Butthead to have as a weapon. One of the tougher situations to manage in the game is money management. There are only a few items in the game you can actually sell, and you will not get much money. The Drive-In requires you pay $5 admission, so be sure you have what you need before you seriously attempt this part of the game, otherwise you risk wasting your money and one chance to get the ticket piece for that area. This should also dissuade gamers from jumping the gun and spending the money unwisely too early.
All in all, an excellent game which showcases the abilities of the N64 to great effect. Games like this are why I will always remain a Nintendo fan. But, don't take my word for it - pick it up! You'll be glad you did.
Graphics wise the game rules its 2D but very good looking 2D the enemies and backgrounds are very detailed I could just stare at them all day but I won't but anyway you older gamers will admit this is a huge step up from NES and SNES(remember the old square shots that would pass off as bullets in the old games?) Megamans graphics Megas little pellet shots even look good his charge up shots have detail and just the basic movements of running jumping and sliding look pretty good
Maybe this game brings out my old school 2d love but I prefer this one to any 3d Zelda game and it is a diffinite upgrade to Zelda 1. Must play!
You do get additional help in the game such as Marvel cameos who come out of nowhere once you pick up their icon, but sometimes they don't really help you; some of them have very specific reasons to help you like clearing the screen of enemies or blocking projectiles and in most cases they'll just run on screen, do something for a few seconds, disappear and leave you to continually get your posterior slammed into chewed gum.
7133 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a good buy if your television supports S-Video. What this cable does is separate the colors a lot better than your standard A/V cable device. This results in a much improved video quality as a result of more resolution. Your video games will appear more crisp and have more definition when compared to A/V picture quality. You might also see things that you might have never seen before due to the improved quality. I give it four stars though because of the price. This cable should be about $10 or $15 cheaper. If you are willing to pay this price, then you will like your results.
The game play, especially the movement is a little clunky though the emphasis is not on fast paced action so that is never and issue. The objective of the game is to go through a "haunted" town looking for a missing little girl while slowly discovering the back story of the town of silent hill. The puzzles are interesting and logical, never too difficult or too weird, though the game will seem a little little railroaded and constrained (since some sections of the town are off limits at the beginning you will be following a set course throughout the game) this is due to the nature of the eerie and slowly unfolding story. overall a great experience, better than a horror movie anyhow!
6589 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 5 stars for FFVI: The port came over nicely. Graphics were preserved, and some additional FMV's were added (always a nice touch). They messed with the sound a bit, though. I noticed a slight change in item drops from random encounters as well (some items aren't as easy to get). Other than that, it's not bad. Highly recommended if you can't get your hands on the original.
Second, the Team Fortress add on that comes with this game really sucks. It is no where near as good as counterstrike.
There are certain features which I wish had been implemented. It's not possible to control the behaviour of your units (ie. setting them to guard or defensive mode, etc...). This makes it entirely possible for your entire massed army to chase after a single unit, when really you want them to stay in one place. Fortunately, a `hold' command is provided, but I still would've preferred to give my units more advanced commands.
Overall: 3

So this time, Sonic must traverse the rest of Angel Island after bringing down the Death Egg (again) onto a volcano and stop Dr. Robotnik once and for all. However, Tails is gone for this round in place of being able to play as Knuckles the Echidna for the first time. He taunted and tricked you all throughout Sonic 3, but now you can rip through the stages as him, or get your revenge on him at last with Sonic. Either way, S&K holds up as its own giant adventure, with the same size of levels, graphics engine, powerups, and other features as the previous game. I've covered the basics of the game in my Sonic 3 review, so I'll just go into the new stuff here:
1293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this when it 1st came out in 1996 THIS GAME SO FREAKING AWESOME N Till this day I'm playing this awesome game on my gaming laptop with my XBOX ONE CONTROLLER. Oh by the way I got this GAME FOR FREE ON MY LAPTOP
2512 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked it unfortunately it is not very similar to the original Mario brothers but still enjoy playing it.
Note: There is an import Mega Man game for the Super Famicom (Japanese SNES) called Rockman & Forte (Mega Man & Bass), and it is exactly like Mega Man 8, except for the controls. They're a little slower than that of Mega Man 8's controls (Rockman, or should I say, Mega Man's buster doesn't have any speed. Three shots, then it stops for a second.). It's not really that great, unless you can get used to it.
Very good game for the era and still very playable. Has decent replay value with unlockables and easter eggs to be found. Will play in your PS3, so you don't even need to pick up a used playstation 1. Highly recommended.
1666 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game works perfectly. Arrived as expected. I guess it's me, but i find this game rather difficult to beat.
The Z-targeting system is excellent, once you get used to it. You don't really need it for some of the early monsters, but by the time you become an adult, it will be essential. In addition, you have a little fairy buddy, Navi, who continually travels with you and is always willing to give you helpful advice on what to do next after you complete a given task. Navi will also help you with advice on the weak spots of the many different monsters you will encounter throughout the game.
6835 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If you think that this is a good game then you seriously need your head examined
The uniqueness crosses over into the gameplay. The battle system is definately different from other RPGs. Instead of all characters battling all foes at once, only one character fights an enemy one at a time in the frontline while other characters remain in the back line. But the back characters do serve a purpose; they can use items, defensive magic, or go on standby, where they can taunt the enemy or cheer the frontline character, both of which can cause certain status effects. While it sounds mundane, this battle system is a very refreshing change.
4032 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My only experience with the game is the solo aspect. From a solo standpoint the game is probably the best shooter/crawler ever but to linear for me. I like a more open, sandbox type game. Half-Life took an already crounded genre, refined and did it better than anybody before or really since. Flawless game play, easy and intuitive controls and top notch story line. I think the story was the best part of the game. Despite my personal views this really is a must have for any pc gamer as it really is the top game in its field.
1816 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back" was a large step up from the first part. This game's graphics, music, gameplay, and even story were much better than in the first. But it's kind of weird how Crash Bandicoot doesn't end up staying with Tawna Bandicoot and instead ends up living with his little sister, Coco Bandicoot. Well, at least Coco has the ability to speak, unlike her big brother. The voice acting changed dramatically as well, and for the better(Dr. Neo Cortex's new voice was much cooler and evil-sounding). If you liked the first Crash game, get this one. Although it's more difficult(especially in gathering Crystals and Gems), it's really fun!

Happy Hunting.
Basically you play a wild cave-boy with pink hair, and you're trying to stop the evil pigs and their plot. yeah. pretty random = ].. theres tons of lore and backstory behind the world you explore, but in many cases you need to discover that for yourself, by talking to various friendly characters in towns and other areas you learn about them and pick up a quest or two along the way, this is where the open ended adventure comes in, the entire game world is streamlined and fully explorable, with only a short load time between certain areas, and more areas become available are you finish the quests. you can upgrade your health multiple times throughout the game, and you find new abilities and weapons very frequently.
4161 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was really my introduction into the strategy genre, and I loved it. Regardless to say, I really don't think the expansion pack (Rise of Rome) is all that spectacular. The expansion pack, I felt, featured some useless units (Camel, Scythe Chariots, Armored Elephant) nothing that could really, significantly boost gameplay. The new techs didn't help either, and their wasn't a fix to computers or anything like that; but don't let this discourage you. Age of Empires really was what not only got me into strategy games but into Ancient History as a whole. The guys at ES (Ensemble Studios) did a great job with the history throughout gameplay. Age of Empires has some great features including, (1) Chariot Archers, which are probably the most overused unit (although that's not a bad thing). (2) It also has the internet gameplay feature which is really what sold this game for me. (3) Lastly, not only does it have good graphics (for the picky, I can say at least for 1997) but it has the excellent ability to play the DMs (deatmatches) and to make your own scenarios.
4929 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this game recently through Amazon by a 3rd party seller. It is the "original" game, not the re-released jewel case XS version. It worked flawlessly on my XP. The game is great if you enjoy puzzles (most weren't too difficult to solve)and a good story line. The graphics are old compared to more recent games, but who cares? It was good fun, & I will play it again (unlike other games). I definately recommend it!
Team Rose: HATE Cream's voice. These levels are easier and shorter, these are for beginning players and younger players as well. The levels are not hard to figure out, nor are they very long. If you want a challenge, I suggest trying Team Chaotix. I adore Big, but Amy is kind of stupid. The way she obsesses over Sonic is rather creepy, but whatever.

If people like crazy obstacles, bizarre worlds, some worlds from your favorite cartoon shows that you might recognize or just some made up worlds, funny stuff, and much more then this is your game.
6340 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The N64 for me represents the golden age of gaming. Back when this console came out nearly every title released for it was a genuinely unique and fun game experience. The video games that were released on this console have very probably the single greatest range of different game systems you will ever encounter. There are dozens of distinct and unique platformers ranging from Super Mario 64 to Rayman 64, some of the most beloved action and adventure games including The Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and most people's first foray into first person shooters with Golden Eye and Perfect Dark.
The N64 is a lot more graphically capable than the Playstation. The downfall for the Nintendo 64 however, which eventually let Playstation surpass it, was Nintendo's decision to go with the cartridge format, which scared game developers away due to the cart's limited memory capacity.
Aside from the pot holed love plot there is the main plot which is fighting an evil sorceress Edea, who is actually pretty hot herself. The main story is also pot holed as well. You never get a chance to understand why the Sorceress is doing what she is doing. You spend most of the game learning about the past and what led up to the current events, but you don't ever learn the motives behind it all from the Sorceress...this is probably the most puzzling part of the game. After you breeze through disk 1 & 2 you don't get into the real game until disk 3. Disk 3 is when you release that you need to power up your characters. This is when you spend hours drawing magic, searching for weapon parts, fighting monsters, and truly learning the junction system. I spent more time doing these tasks than actually playing the main plot of the game. This made the game feel stale and repetitive. This is probably what causes the game to be so bland for most people. It's a tedious task to level up in this fashion. There also is a lot you can miss out on if you don't know what to do. I lost an important GF ability and weapon item just because of this) this is a game that requires a guide of some nature to fully master it so be prepared).

Twisted Metal: A great game, revolutionary for video games of the first 3d era. Still a fun game and the only twisted metal with the inside the car view no saving to memory cards there was a short code for resuming your game later.

Anyways, if you happen to own a Game Boy, a GB Color, or a GB Advance, this is definitely one game to play. Heck, you should buy it on the e-Shop for your Nintendo 3DS (If you own one), or go to Club Nintendo and get this without using actual money (Though this offer will last until the 31st)!
Personally, I prefer this game over RE4 or RE5 any day. The horror element is strong in this title, not action-oriented like those other two games. The storyline and characters are excellent and well-done. For Leon's storyline, we see interaction and character development between him and the mysterious Ada Wong; for Claire, it's between her and the lost girl Sherry Birkin. The voice acting and writing for these characters are all done so well, which makes the game ahead of its time as corny voice acting was prevalent in most video games when this was released.
1643 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Namco Volume 3 is a well rounded collection of classic arcade favorites. It features Ms. Pacman, DigDug, Galaxian (which became addictive very fast after a few plays.), also..features Pole Position II, Phozen (which I had never heard of till this collection. It's not for everyone.), and last but not least we have..The Tower of Druaga. Obviously the best games are Ms. Pacman, Galaxian, and DigDug which each of these games are worth having individually, so having them all on one disc it's hard to go wrong. But wait there is one slight problem. When you go to the screen that allows you to change the dip switches..when they pop up they cover the menu and you don't know what your changing until you get back to the game, only to realize you have unknowingly changed your amount of lives to 1 and set your bonus on 10000000 or something to that effect. Maybe it's just me but I would have preferred a modern menu instead of the switches. Never~the~less 4 STARS.
2868 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember getting this game and being blown away! The aliens, the gore, the raunchy bad @$$ hero Duke Nukem...AWESOME!
4435 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After giving it some thought, I recently bought a PSX Dualshock system. Having played the N64, it got boring for me due to lack of RPG's. There is not one decent true RPG title for the N64. Quest 64 was a total piece of garbage and Zelda for me is just a over hyped, ho hum game. With the PSX, there is the FF series, various Square Soft RPG's, upcoming Dragon Quest VII, and many more titlesavailable. I got frustrated with the lack of RPG's for the N64 and hearing about all the awesome ones for the PSX. RPG's has always been my favorite type of game to play. The first RPG I ever played was Dragon Warrior on the NES. That game really got me hooked on RPG"s. Everybody that I know has a PSXand they really it a lot. The fact that the games are on CD's, hold more memory than cartridge, really swayed me towards the PSX. The only drawback is that you need to buy memory cards for Adventure & RPG's. I like the design of the PSX, it can also play your favorite cd's. The N64 may have better graphics and sound, but that alone can't make a fun game. Don't get me wrong, N64 is a good system and so is the Playstation. PSX has a lot of the Mature games. Something the N64 has very few of anyway. The PSX Dual shock controller does not need batteries, unlike the N64's. I haven't bought a decent game for the N64 in a while and maybe won't for a while. There is no hope for the N64, not in my mind anyway. Maybe there will be RPG's for the Starcube(Nintendo's new system) but who knows? Nintendo has gone out of their way to make more mature games and that's a good thing. Myself, I'm in my 30's and I like to see more mature graphic scenes and four letter words. In closing, I would like to say that I'm sure glad I bought a PSX. The library of games is immense and there are loads of RPG's! But I have not given up on the N64, maybe they or somebody else will make a decent RPG.(Yeah right!) Hails to all the true RPG gamers out there!
The two real weaknesses in the game are 1. A very limited diplomatic engine. There are a total of eight powers in the game, but your options for peacefull interaction with the other seven are pretty limited. 2. Weak AI players, at least on the strategic levels. Some of the computer players do absolutely suicidal things, like walking their undefended leader up to one of your strongholds. Even the toughest, Balkoth Lord of Death, isn't nearly as aggressive as he should be.

3110 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a really good game, but it's aimed more at rpg lovers than at hardcore gamers. If you are one of those people who simply won't buy anything with a E rating, you probably won't like this game. There's nothing obscene about this game except for some minor swearing and sexually suggestive scenes(no actual nudity). This is not a game to be rushed through at high speeds. To fully enjoy this game, you should delve deep into the hidden aspects of this world and learn more about the story as well as obtaining useful items. Many people are spitting on FFVIII and FFIX, because of this game. In my opinion, FFVII is better only by a very, very, slight margin.
The gameplay is more innovative than in the RE games with more puzzles and less emphasis placed on action. DC's weapons are reasonably feeble compared to those in RE but this works for the better. Instead of just splattering every enemy you come across you need to think of alternatives as shooting everything will soon either get you killed or make you run out of ammo fast. Throughout the game you have to use security fences to your advantage, running past a raptor when its back is turned, past a sensor and then turn on the fence, much better than just killing the raptor and more satisfying to boot.
8013 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So...this is the tenth review of this game? Please read on. This was the third Zelda game. Originally released in 1992, I bought it in 1996. Since I had the first Zelda game and had beaten it over ten times, I was expecting very much from this! And it did not disappoint...well, almost.

4577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tony Hawks Pro Skater is one of the best games on playstation. You can play as Tony Hawk or as one of the nine top pros. It includes signature pro moves, fully skateable worlds, head-to-head competitions, and instant replay modes. You can play in many championships with more than 50 fascinating moves, one of which is the madonna. Skate through many worlds including malls, parks, and schools. Me, my sister, and my friends love this game! Work your way up the ranks by landing suicidal tricks in brutal competitions to become the highest-ranked skate boarding champ! You'll love this game.

2720 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Originally released back on the Sega Saturn, Working Designs ports it over to the Playstation, VERY NICELY. The original great game is here, with a few good enhancments. The best one being the Anime scenes. Very well done, and they help move the story along nicely. The game's not up to par with the likes of most Final Fantasy games, or many other Square/Enix RPG's, but it's definitely a must have for any RPG fan.

9801 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 How many words can be used to sum up this game? How about AWESOME!
9805 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 has the aura and atmospheric fear that'll make you jump out of your seat. There's a reason why it is CAPCOM's greatest selling survival horror title. Resident Evil 2 takes place in the midwestern town of Raccoon City where Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop, and Claire Redfield,sister of Chris Redfield, run into eachother. They go about their way and meet eachother a few times and get in contact with eachother as well. The main theme of the plot is the G-Virus. A pharmeciutical virus created by William Birkin himself. I do not want to reveal to much about the entire G-Virus story otherwise it'll be like spoiling the whole experience, but I promise, you will not be dissappointed when you play this game.
1341 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Yes, I did find this a bit cumbersome. I wanted a more puzzle oridented game. I kept getting stuck in seemingly absurd situations and go to a walk-through forum to make progress. One of the comforts is that a cheat code can take you to the next level, if you get frustrated through not being able to figure out some trick to advance. Lara is a great character. But in this game she is faced with too many obstacles and impossible-to-discover secrets to make the game truly enjoyable.
5988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Seems like every game Blizzard puts out turns to gold. This is no exception. Visually, this game is great to look at. The game play and control are much better than the first one. There are also 5 character classes to choose from and with 4 acts to play, this game is way bigger than the first. The on-line game is a little choppy and laggy at times, but well worth checking out. I loved the first Diablo, then your gonna lust for this game as you get deeper and deeper into the world known as Diablo 2. The next time you look up at the clock, you may not believe what your seeing. Somehow, you lost a couple of days playing. This game is that engrossing. Buy this game and you won't be disappointed.

2. The boss fights are fair in this game, but I forgot how hard chocobo breeding is lol. I also forgot how hard the ruby and emerald weapon were in this game.
In the end: To the Victor goes the spoils, and this time, the victor is Microsoft.
Though it's getting a bit dated now, this game was far enough ahead of its time to still be very playable. Where the original System Shock made history as a remarkably immersive story-driven first-person shooter, the sequel goes even further with complex character development elements usually only seen in role-playing games. The graphics scale up smoothly enough to still look impressive on today's faster, higher resolution (and higher polygon count) displays, the sound is of sufficient quality to still be just as effective as most newer, more technically advanced productions, and of course, a great story is never obsolete.

Once upon a time, Sega became a worthy 16-bit contender in the early 90s thanks to the release of a fast-paced adventure starring everyone's favorite blue hedgehog, Sonic. Then the series really took off in 1992 with the release and success of its sequel. The Sega CD harbored Sonic CD, a worthy cult classic, though for some reason it became forgotten over time. This brings us to "Hedgehog Day" of 1994, when Sonic 3 was unleashed on the public. Originally, the game was slated to be one massive adventure, but in order to meet deadlines, Sega decided to cut it in half, give the fans the first part of the game early on, and save the rest of it for a later date in the year. In the meantime, Sega also thought about incorporating a special "lock-on" feature to this second half of the 3rd Sonic game which allowed one to stick Sonic 2 and 3 on top of it, and it would change the game to a certain degree. Of course, lock on technology was nothing new (*cough* Game Genie *cough*), but this was the first time that it was incorporated for a specific purpose, more of which I'll get into soon.
8528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Seriously this game is a classic. I've beaten it at least 30 times and I still play it. The storyline, the characters, music, gameplay, graphics...everything about this is top notch. Too bad the sequels turned out as average as Paper Marios 1&2 (not bad games, but don't compare to this one). This is a must have classic.
Great story....Kina confused with turok bein young
As battles progress you gain experience. You pretty much gain experience after each and every turn, which is nice. Not only do you gain experience but you also gain job points to help you master the abilities in your job class. It's pretty simple stuff and you'll be surprised at just how fast you can learn abilities here.
Then again, if all the text bores you, you can probably just ignore it and play through a worthy successor to Baldur's Gate. It's obviously very similar in gameplay to BG (same company, same engine), which includes the good (strong combat engine, good graphics, great sound and music) with the bad (iffy pathfinding, and sort-of non-linearity, except you are obligated to do most of the unrelated side quests just to build up enough experience to get through the main quest). BG is a good game, and is definitely longer than P:T, but I liked Planescape better anyway because of the atmosphere the story added, and because there was always something compelling for your character to do (unlike BG where sometimes you were just clearing out area after area).
6261 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game for my brother and he said it is an awsome game. The graghics are cool. The gameplay is challenging.
8134 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Given the pre-release hype from game sites, I was really anticipating this game as the contender for the best RTS this year. I'm pretty disappointed.
Inferno Isle: Self Explanitory. It's a course taking place on an island that is competing with a volcano, and there is also a spot where you can dive into the volcano (not into the lava, of course, but into the volcano for that matter)
8716 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the most visually stunning game I've ever played... period. The backgrounds are so engaging they're almost a distraction. The colors and textures are rich and beautiful. The lights and special effects are amazingly realistic. The characters are smooth and engaging.
This memory card is no exception to that rule. I have had this memory card for well over a year now and it has not failed me yet. (This is not to imply that it will last forever, you should always make backups just in case) Imagine now being able to save ALL your game saves on 1 memory card instead of having to look for spare room on an existing 8-meg memory card. Being able to hold 16x more than what a normal memory card can is pretty remarkable. Although there have been a few odd moments that make this a bit of a... well... not so much a problem as it's more of an annoyance.
1316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
The original Silent Hill is a fantastic survival horror game, which chronicles the events following Harry Mason's trip to the titular town with his daughter Cheryl, in search of somewhere pleasant to have a vacation. What happens to Harry is unfortunate for him, but very fortunate for us, as we get to play through it; and it is a masterpiece.
8345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh yeah, This game is Entertaining. Build an army and smash you enemies, be it the ogres or the human alliance. Pick you side and fight through missions that require to you build, upgrade, and arm your encampments, then let loose your vicious Attack utilizing arrows, sword, Warships, and Ballistas and catapults.
4424 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This controller is an okay replacement for the original SNES controllers, but not as good. The reason why this controller is not as good as the original SNES controllers is because the buttons are not as sensitive to button presses unlike the original which have very sensitive buttons; the buttons after using them for several months or a little bit more start to sink down more inside the controller because the springs are not as strong as the ones in the original controllers are. In addition, they are made cheaper than the original controllers and are not as durable, so they will not last as long. My recommendation is to not buy these controllers and get refurbished original Super Nintendo controllers on (...) or the exact replica version because they use the same exact materials to make those controllers as Nintendo does for their controllers. The only difference is the exact replica's do not have the Nintendo logo on it. I got two refurbished original Super Nintendo controllers from that website and they work excellently and they will last for many years. And another thing about the New Port controllers, the first time you use them, the D-Pad buttons are rather stiff and eventually lossen up after using them for a while and become easier to use. A last warning about the controller, the down function on the D-Pad does not work very good, unlike on the original Super Nintendo cotrollers, the down function on the D-Pad works excellently.
6745 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game but the enemys are extremely hard to beat
Overall The game is pretty entertaining...It's my favorite Boxing game for the Sega Dreamcast.
The camera does get a little crazy here and there but this was 3D platforming in it's beginning and really, the camera is about as perfect as a 3D platforming camera can be.
I feel like my intelligence decreased after playing it, but back then I was but a mere child and I loved fighting games (as well as RPG's). As such I was easily sucked into playing any fighter that rolled out of a factory, thank god I had only rented this mediocre title.
2661 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Forget all those 3D games that are practically carbon copies of one another, constantly ripping off the character concepts that Street Fighter invented. This is the definitive fighting game for the Playstation.
4216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my time, I've played a number of games, a big number, and some have been good, while some have been bad. And here's one of the good ones, the REALLY good ones. The best strategy game ever made, in fact, I'm convinced there will never be one better, not even Warcraft III.
In short, Goldeneye is almost reason alone to own a Nintendo 64, even today. There's a charm about it that can't be described, a realism and authenticity that goes beyond the aging graphics and occasionally slow gameplay. It's got the look and feel of a legend, and that's exactly the word I'd use to describe it. While there are certainly flaws, this is a game you'll kick yourself for never owning in a few years, when it becomes increasingly difficult to track down.
Ha!!! The memories I have of this game! Man, this is the best!
To complete your quest and save Hyrule, you must boldly enter into many dungeons which are filled with fierce skeletal warriors, human-sized spiders, horrible ghosts, and... immobile venus fly traps! Completing a dungeon gives you an item for the main quest, and completing all of the dungeons will allow you to face the final boss. There's much more to it that, but I'm trying not to spoil storyline specifics for those who haven't played it.
6652 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game.
Unfortunately, offline play is boring.
8687 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the first game ever for the Super Nintendo. If you was born after 1985...than the you missed out on the NINTENDO/SUPER NINTENDO ERA. Believe me, After playing Atari's Pole Position and then Nintendo's RAD RACER....F-ZERO is a whole new way of racing. The colors, the music, the fun factor is GREAT, being in the early 90's...Kids cut school to Play F-ZERO. Classic game...collectors item!
The world of Carnivores is quite amazing to walk through. Although the graphics are average at best, each world feels alive and vibrant. Lush tropical forests, desolate deserts, jungles, beaches, ancient temples, and even a pyramid or two are some of the places you'll encounter on your journey. Other dinosaurs such as Galamimuses walk around, looking for food and running from you when you fire or get too close. The audio portion of the game is excelent. Birds and insects squack and screetch in jungles, desolate and lonely wind blows across the deserts. A lake splashes under a late afternoon sky. A T-rex roars in the distance. All of it adds up to a rich and imersive atmosphere.
7471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good
-----------
6758 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Now see, im a fan of SEGA, allways have been, and im a fan of Nintendo, i've been to both worlds, I own many systems, but when I hear people saying that Genesis is better than SNES that is totally ignorant. First of all Genesis was only ahead of SNES for 1 year, which was 1993, the rest SNES blew it away with titles like Zelda;A link to the Past, Super Mario World was a hit, Chrono Trigger itself is better than any Genesis game ever made. Sega does have good titles like Sonic, but when you get past it, Nintendo makes better games, there might be 500= titles but that doesn't say that they are all good, thats for sure, not even half of all the titles are good. SNES can also produce much better graphics than the genesis, Donkey Kong Counrty people, what can compare to it, or Killer Instinct. Genesis is good, if it wasn't I wouldn't have given it 4 stars, but don't even try to compare the 2 companies or systems together, because in the long run, they just don't meet eye to eye.
4. The way Crash dies (I.E. falling off screen and his shoes fly up and fall back down, being sucked into a giant spinning vase and the lid closes on top of it)
The graphics are beautiful to look at and the level design is extensive and complex. The sound effects and sound track are also very well executed, although there is no attempt to lipsynch the voiceovers. Overall, the game is fun and has a lot of replay value.
The story is compelling. While this one uses similar "Advanced civilization (Human) meets undeveloped one", it is for good. Storyline is very solid, and characters are very attactive to grab your attention. This game gives very different feeling than Final Fantasy series and it certainly won't hurt to experience.
There are two flaws I found in the game, both can be considered medium to high. The first was that I found a way to level up my units quickly early in the game. Before I finshed chapter one all of my units were at level 30. I won't say how I did it because it does take away from the gaming experience as a whole. Making the game somewhat easy. Due to this being a strategy based game you can still lose battles with high level charchters, but minor strategy will get you through a fight with ease. Astute players will see this little cheat at the beginning. Sadly this is not (code) cheat. Its progammed into the game. Secondly, (this being the worst) after all your hard work, chapter four rewards you with allies who have special sword skills so that your elite team of ninjas, summoners, and knight based warriors are obsolite. You work hard to get there skills up, new and better jobs, just to send them home near the end of the game. You won't turn down services of charchters who can take down 3 to 4 enemies at once would you? Room in your army is only 16 units. What you do keep won't be used becuase they can't keep up with everyone else. That bothered me for a while but after fighting the final bosses your original team would get crushed anyhow.
Arrived quickly and worked perfectly.
7856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good buy!
ground for a year! She lied about the condition, do not buy anything from Eva's Movies & Games on Amazon.
Anyway, Banjo-Kazooie is basically nothing but an item-collecting quest with graphics that are admittedly prettier and just better than 90% of the stuff the N64 was pumping out at the time. The waters, grassy lands, mountains... everything is a beautiful sight to behold with crystal clear authentically pleasing environments. Probably on par with Donkey Kong 64 in terms of graphics but definitely NOT in terms of gameplay or the sheer size of the overworld which is incredibly tiny in Banjo-Kazooie. But seriously, why am I basically doing nothing but walking around collecting items the entire time? If you think "That's what ALL platformers do!" guess again: many of them focus on exciting enemy variety, diverse surroundings and a gradual increase in challenge which this game sorely lacks. The only challenge is to avoid falling from high narrow platforms while collecting musical notes- these are dirty tricks and artificial challenges. I found sharks you have to swim away from, crabs you can stomp on top of, and weird gigantic green enemies that come out of walls while you're trying to make your way across high paths without falling. These enemies only appear like 10% of the time- the rest of your surroundings aren't very threatening.
If you see this LE box-set, snatch it up!
The main character, one Ms. Sarina Lightyears, calls herself an Intergalactic Cybot G! Her creator, one Professor... oh, what's his name?! Anyway, Marina's father/creator has been kidnapped and now she must rescue him from his evil brother and a gang of so-called do-gooders. I don't see any reason not to play this game unless you hate girls or side-scrollers. Give it a girl... I mean whirl! You'll be glad you did!
As the game progresses, it gets harder.
2788 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Given the success of Myst, a sequel was inevitable. Riven is both a sequel in spirit and in its story. The game takes place just after Myst and takes the player to another age where you meet Atrus' father and wife, amongst others. As in Myst, the story is told through journal entries, puzzles, and a few cinematic scenes. Riven does develop the story more than Myst did, with more cinematic cutscenes and longer books. Overall, I think this is a great addition and the actor who plays Ghen (Atrus' father) is actually quite good.
It's also to no surprise that Soul Calibur does put a huge emphasis on the player's ability to move all over the arena instead of just in a straight line where they my have moves that step to the side. This is emphasized by the fact that any character can also attack while circling another. Or they can use this to side step opponents. This wasn't just some gimmick thrown in, this was pretty much what Soul Calibur was all about. To put more emphasis on this, Soul Calibur allows players to knock one another out of the ring. If there was anything that stood out in Soul Calibur as a real flaw it MIGHT be this little tidbit. Unlike future games in the series, the first game made knocking someone out of the ring a fairly simple thing to do. Characters went out of the ring far more easily than otherwise. And while it's great to snatch a victory through ring out, it can be a pain when you suffered a ring out just because a very small portion went over the ring.
9864 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent game. My grandson loves it.
7-Oil ocean refinery(80%)This is a good level, but it's also a maze!
Cons:
The game will take a while to get through, but you won't mind because you'll get sucked into it. Time goes by pretty fast when you get into this game. I've lost quite a few hours in the wonderfully rendered worlds of Myst.
On the second game, Mysteries of the Sith, you primarialy play Mara Jade... although you also spend time in Kyle Katarn's shoes once again. Much likes its predecessor you find yourself once again going against the Empire before they destroy a Rebel base and ruin all hope the Rebellion has against defeating the Imperial forces. From there you embark on a search to find the lost Kyle Katarn and find your way through an amazingly twisted and trap ridden Sith Temple.
The graphics can be a little bit choppy at times and many of the obsticals are flat. Some of the story lines are not worth playing through the whole game, you just have to be careful who you pick.
- Graphics: I haven't played much N64, but, for all I know, this is the best you can get in the plataform. Beautiful enviroment, landscapes, well-designed characters, different places and detailed textures for this plataform. The graphics are hot, I mean it! And you didn't even need graphics, this game would be great even without them. This game will be forever known because it has changed the world of games with such 3D graphics plus the lock-on camera, this game will be forever reminded because of that. Approved graphics.
7049 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a fun and great! Arrived in perfect condition!
The storyline was genuinely unlike anything I've ever played before. Although the initial premise is that of a vampire cult kidnapping a child, the ending drastically reinvented the story of Jesus, which is sure to offend many. I *still* don't understand half of the cutscenes and ending months after playing it.
- Legend of Dragoon
9122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow I cant remember the last time I have seen a SNES game in its original box. Its kind of odd to see that there are some still completely unopened
Of the many things I learned from this game was how effective an army could be held at bay at a natural barier (such as a swamp) by a dug-in force with artillery. After learning this I heard of many true battles which used this exact same tactic (such as the marines holding on for their lives during the early stages of the Korean war).
The game is set in Sigil-the City of Doors- primarily, as well as various other locations within the Planescape multiverse, as it deals with the nameless hero and his efforts to find out more about himself after realizing that he has lost both his memory and his mortality.
Pros:
9.5/10...
The control is good, but sometimes it is clunky when you need to perform delicate movements. I remember the first level when I kept falling into the water and dying when I tried to jump from one ledge to another and missed by one inch. Also, a map would be helpful. Certain areas look the same as others, and sometimes, I cannot tell where I have been and where I am going. But as I said, these are more technical flaws. They don't exactly ruin the game.
The downsides are that there is no flash on the camera, and the pictures aren't in color. Plus, it's not really an actual game, so young players might get bored easily with it.
The plot: DK gets kidnapped by K.Rool. It's up to Diddy and Dixie to save him now. You have eight worlds to traverse to, amazing environments to get through, and dozens of baddies to stomp. Classic DK country.

Conclusion
3316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back before Capcom made negotiations with Nintendo to release all of the new Resident Evil games(well the main story ones) first on the Gamecube, Nintendo fans missed out on all of the RE games. So it was nice of Capcom to finally allow the N64 to get a piece of the RE series. Although the FMVs aren't as crisp as the PS1's, the overall graphics look better on the N64. As with the other games in the series, RE2 has you picking a character and basically trying to solve puzzles and collecting items while trying to stay alive. Throughout the game, you are constantly being attacked by zombies and other various mutant creatures. Some people say that RE2 is their favorite game in the series and while I would have to say that RE1 is my favorite, RE2 is still a great game. Don't be afraid though of being freaked out by this game, because it is not scary at all. The other games in the series seem a bit more creepy and startling at times while this game seems more about action most of the time. So if your looking for a great game for your old N64 then this is one of the best out there for it.
becasue the game is non stop action 1 or 2 players. Like contra but without instant deaths(1-100)life meter. YOU die about 3-8 times per boss, but it still an action shooter and not an adventure. You will never get lost, but the weapon powerups will have you killing everthing in sight more like a top down shooter.
Pick this up, it is maybe even better that Fallout (original sequels, not Betheseda's Fallout 3) and deeper than Arcanuum.

Unlike the first, you can take control of, Glukkon's! The Greedy Main baddies, an you can be em'! Or, just watch them explode when you release them from mind control.
6603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Both of these games are classic RPGs. FF5 was never released in the U.S (you could get it if you had an emulator). The storyline in 5 is a little weak I thought, but the battle system, job system, and ability system give the game endless possibilities. You can have fun going through the game again using different combinations of jobs. If you have never played FF5 or FF6 prior to buying this anthology, play 5 first because it will set you up for 6. Now, onto FF6. I feel this is the best RPG ever. Though the modern Final Fantasies offer better graphics, bigger story lines, ect, FF6 is the greatest of all time. When it was released on the SNES as FF3, it was ground breaking. It blew everything out of the water with its interactive story line, personable characters, and awesome battle system. So for its time, FF6 is untouchable. The story line is linear, most of the time you know where you are supposed to be going and what you are supposed to be doing, but at the same time you are on your toes because you can't tell what will happen next. The music will blow you away to. It really adds to the effect of the game. FF6 is also a long game, first time I played it on the SNES, it took me 80hrs to beat. Once you know the game inside and out, you can do it in 20hrs. The difficulty is just right as well. Most people will be able to get through this game without having to get a guide. That's how an RPG should be. It should make you think, but not make you have to look up answers on the net or in a guide. If you are an RPG fan, and have PS1 or PS2, buy this game. They are becoming collector's items. I bought mine used for 40 bucks (in nice condition). That's a pretty steep price, so just imagine how much it will be in a year or so.
Shifting Platforms Ahead
3859 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can't beat the classics: NES SNES and now even N64 is considered classic. Mario Golf will be fun for the rest of my life. The game itself is in great condition and I will be playing this one frequently.
6839 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 sonic 2 is not as good as sonic 1, but that doesn't it's bad. on the conterary, it's still AWSOME!
the graphic upgrade makes the game memorable. More detail to certain levels and Cinema enhances are worth the price alone.
5404 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Some people may think that Monster Rancher is a stupid Pokemon clone with absolutely no entertainment value. They are very wrong. Monster Rancher 2 is one of my favorite games. You start out by either going to the market and getting a monter or regenerate one yourself by going to the shirne and using a "disc stone" (CD). The main object of the game is to raise and train your monster. You have to decide which stats will benefit your monster the most in a battle. Some monsters are better at some stats than others. For example, a Durahan has wonderful power and defense but awful speed. One feature that I really like about this game is that it never ends. To actually beat the game, you must beat the Major 4 tournaments, the hardest in the game. Once you do that, it doesn't stop. You can combine monsters together to make even more powerful ones. Some monsters aren't available at the start of the game, but they can soon be unlocked. The only drawback is that MR2 does get somewhat repetative, but it's still a great game.
Do not buy this game. Midway sure know's how to [mess] games up!
Music is also a strong aspect of this game and is well delivered. And sound effect is used with great effect.
The casing in incorrect. It's too loose to fit properly and make a clean connection to the contacts. This results in the PS2 recognizing the card about 2% of the time.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PSX)
The idea of playing each character individually before bringing them together was new to me at the time (I missed out on the Nintendo's Dragon Warrior IV and never had the chance to see something like this beforehand). Just discovering the Elw world as well as Rudy's past was a twist all in itself. I remember when we first played through Adlehyde and when the credits started to roll my brother and I knew it couldn't have been the end, but we were still dumbfounded and trying to figure out what was going on. Turns out the game was only just beginning.
b/c we'd def buy it!
756 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ok, alot of people hate this game - but i cant complain with it. Although some of the levels are annoying (i hate the 2nd level of india with a passion) at least it held mostly to the name of Tomb raider (the 2nd, and 4th onwards) should be named "City Raider" the graphics are kinda yellowish. the lighting can be harsh. but its a lengthy game - took me almost 6months to beat (partially cause i jumped triliogy installments)but its an ok game. its better than the 2nd, and way better than all the others afterwards - but doesnt messure up to the original.
Star Ocean: The Second Story is one of those games. Star Ocean's appeal (at least in my case) can be summed up in a single word: combat. Star Ocean's combat system is probably the game's most notable feature. The real-time battle system, which has a very arcade-like feel to it, is a very enjoyable change than your standard-fair RPG battles. It's just so much fun to destory enemies with a volley a special attacks from you and your allies. The skill system is also a plus as well, increasing characters stats and developing other usefull, non combat skills.
Why do I give it 2 stars? The concept. I love the concept. Making an adventure out of a racing game, and the format they gave it is an excellent idea. The sheer number of tracks is exhilarating. And on some courses there are THREE (plane, hovercraft, kart) types of vehicles to use. It is just a tragedy that in practice it doesn't come off at all. It is nowhere near Super Mario Kart 64. That game is fast-paced and loads of fun, the best racer to hit the N64. Size wise, this dwarves Mario Kart 64. If they could have had the execution on Mario Kart 64 and the concept of Diddy Kong Racing, we would have had one hell of a game. Sadly, such a game does not exist (yet). We have to settle with a badly executed game (Diddy Kong Racing) with another racing game that is superb in all manner of ways. But, with a little engineering, we could have the best of both worlds. Super Mario Kart 64 is the way to go, folks. The multiplayer battle is really fun too, especially Block Fort. Superiour in concept, inferiour in execution. That's the bottom line.
The level makers should have done some research on these locations and made them more like they are in real life. OK, I know it's an adventure game that is meant to be fantasy, but I do feel they could have checked things out first.
5137 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal Gear Solid - PS1 version:
85 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came packaged amazingly so that the collector box did not dent or anything.
The PlayStation version is a 4-disc game, distilled down from the 7-disc PC version of The X-Files Game.
NO replay value. I uninstalled it (its a space consuming game) almost immediatly after beating it.
9331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this humorous game. Link wakes up on a beach and has to get off of the island, but to do that he has to collect 7 insturments to wake up the wind fish. A wierd plotline for a Zelda game... No ancient Hyrule history lessons like in A Link to the Past this time. The game does not even take place in Hyrule. Even stranger, Link walks right past a Chain Chomp, who eventully becomes Link's sidekick. The whole game got wierder and wierder. Goombas crawled in the dungeons, Shy Guys roamed in the dungeons, and owls swooped down to tell you something that you already knew. Nintendo had some funny references in the game (including side scrolling Mario levels LINK HAD TO GO THROUGH)! I found the dungeons to be just right. My biggest admiration of A Link to The Past was the complex multi-layer dungeons, but I hated going through them. Link's Awakening had slightly large dungeons that didn't make me flee to a walkthrough like the ones in A Link to the Past did. Also, each dungeon had a mini-boss that worked as checkpoint when defeated. One of them put the top view to incredible use, as Link had to jump over a rolling pole the boss had kicked. For the Gameboy, the AI was incredible. The villagers did their own things, some played ball, others wrote letters, and another took care of her pet Chain Chomp. The game was also very large, I don't know how they fit it into a Gamepak. While I admired A Link To The Past's creative effects and complex ideas, it was simply too difficult and large for me. Link's Awakening has the perfect overworld size and difficulty for me. Besides, I enjoy the Mario references and winning Yoshi from a grab machine.
3211 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a classic that took fighting games to a new level. Although i am a Mortal Kombat fan, i admit that this game is actually cool to a certain point. The second one is alot better and the third one is pretty sweet. However, you must remember the humble beginings of Super hero/ Street fighter games. I like it.
Overall, the N64 is home to some of the greatest video games ever made, and is worth your money.
Overall- This is a 4 star game cuz no multi player and only 63 pokemon. I really like my Mew picture!
3299 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with my product will buy again
It's a great Duke Nukem Game...
3704 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The storyline, characters and music are all incredibly good. I could play this for hours and not get bored.
7503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you love Yoshi this is the game for you. This game is pretty fun and kinda challanging. It's a really good game.
I despise the Star Wars movies, especially The Return of the Jedi, which has that peculiar fantasy-feel in it.
The GUI can get annoying as if you don't pay attention and click you will send units or builders in a direction you didn't intend.

Unfortunately, Sega made a gigantic mistake that almost immediately brought down any chance of the Dreamcast becoming a success. They chose to release the Dreamcast in late 1999. Gaming fans vividly remember what happened to the Sega Saturn just a couple years before, and people weren't going to be fooled again. This was now or never for Sega. If the Dreamcast failed, Sega would be gone from the hardware market forever.
9866 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect.
3237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all this game has awesome graphics, nothing on any other system/computer compares to them. The game is fun with a bunch of characters, and several that are unlockable, plus a mission mode where you have certain goals with story elements that comply with the story of the game, playing through the mission mode you earn points so you can spend them to view artwork, viewing the art can unlock new options, arenas etc. Buy it.
And that leaves us with just one more question:
6657 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was very skeptical to buy this video game after reading all the negative reviews on it here on Amazon. People were calling the game slow and saying that it lagged but I was shocked to hear this since it is a cartridge game and doesn't load. People have been spoiled by technology today and people forget how things used to be but this game is amazing and it's fun and even though it doesn't match up to Mortal Kombat today is still a classic and a must have.
PRO'S:
3428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite system of all time. There are alot of great games on the Dreamcast like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Grind Radio, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2, MDK2, Sega GT, Test Drive Le Mans, Alien Front Online, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Power Stone 1 and 2, Fighting Vipers 2 (japan or european release), King of Fighters 2001 (japan release), ikaruga (japan release), Headhunter (european release), Ooga Booga, Metropolis Street Racer, Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2, which the Dreamcast version is the best version over the Playstation 2, and Xbox, Sega Bass Fishing 1 and 2, Rez (japan or european release), Shenmue, Shenmue II (japan and european release), Soul Calibur, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Rayman 2: The Great Escape,Dead or Alive 2 Tennis 2K2, Skies of Arcadia,Phantasy Star Online,Grandia II,Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver,Unreal Tournament, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Samba de Amigo, F355 Challenge,Quake III Arena,Ultimate Fighting Championship,Ready 2 Rumble Boxing,Space Channel 5, Daytona USA, San Francisco Rush 2049,Ready 2 Rumble Boxing,Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2,
679 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Grim Fandango is best described as a detective story in the Film Noir tradition. The hero of the piece, Manny Calavera, evokes the private eye of the 1940's or '50's melodrama whose story begins with a dame walking into his office and who quickly finds himself enmeshed in a vast and corrupt conspiracy which may do him in. The difference here is that at the beginning of this story, Manny is already dead, and the events transpire in the Land of the Dead, the place where, according to Mexican folklore, departed souls go to embark on their journey to the hereafter.
Purists beware: this is "football with the boring parts taken out". First downs require 30 yards, there are 7 guys on each team, and quarters are five minutes long. In short, it's pass-happy, big-yardage hijinks.
6730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When one looks through the history of 16-bit video games, they will notice the unbelieveable number of comic-licensed side scrolling beat 'em ups (Spider-Man, Batman, Spawn, and the X-Men among others; funny because most of them were from Acclaim), most of which all played the same and really didn't offer much in the terms of fun and replayability. Sega's original X-Men game was an exception that captured some of the intensity of the comic and Fox cartoon, and its' sequel X-Men 2: The Clone Wars also excells above most of the other comic licensed games. You can choose to play as Beast, Cyclops, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, and Wolverine, and after defeating Magneto on Asteroid M you get to play as him as well (and he is the best character in the game). The levels are huge and expansive and include Siberia, Asteroid M, the Amazon jungle, and the Phalanx clone laboritories. The bosses are tough and range from Apocalypse, Brainchild, Tusk, a Sentinel brain, clones of the X-Men, and the huge rampaging Brood beast that chases after you in the final level. The characters are nicely animated and are large, pixelated, and colorful and resemble they're comic counterparts. The control scheme is simple, and the background music is actually great (and that is saying something considering the Genesis didn't have the best sound chip in the world) and the difficulty will make you come back and play it again and again. All in all, if you still have your Genesis and are an X-Men fan then find this game quick, or if you still have this hold on to it.
2992 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'd like to preface my review by saying I had heard A LOT about this game. The main character, Cloud, is pretty famous and pops up in a variety of games (like Kingdom Hearts) so I was really interested in trying it out. That, coupled with the high reviews on gaming sites like IGN, which quotes that FFVII is "The RPG by which all others are to be measured, FFVII is a cinematic wonder" had me thrilled to try this out. For some perspective, IGN quotes my favorite game of all time, Zelda Ocarina of Time, as "IGN64 reviews the biggest game of the decade. Does Zelda 64 live up to the hype?" I never owned a PS until the PS2 & PS3, so I was stoked to see this title come out on the PS network for $9.99.
The game's biggest problem, however, is its difficulty. While there are no difficulty settings, there is an option for extra lives, which I recommend cranking all the way up to get the most out of this game your first time through. There's also a stage select code if you feel like taking that route, but completing this game from start to finish without a stage select is really something you shouldn't pass up. Once you understand when to use your gadgets, how to avoid enemies to the best of your abilities and make it through levels without using up too many of the lives you have stocked, Batman Returns ends up being a really great, really challenging experience. For those uninitiated though, it's bound to frustrate, and I can see how that would turn a lot of people off to this game.
5336 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is awesome it is one of the best games i have ever played.you are a gang member who has to kill and steal to live.you work for gangs and if you don't want to work kill people for fun and the cops will be on your [tail]. you can arm your car with machine guns and bombs.
I wonder if the game Hoshigami is any good? that is the one I am eyeing in hopes of being as fun as Vandal Hearts.
BE ADVISED! The game out of the box may have slight incompatibility issues with Windows XP especially if you have Service Pack 2 installed, so make sure you grab yourself the latest game update patch from the internet! Once patched it runs without any problems.
It is a point-and-click game, with a little too much point-point-point-point-aha!-click, and it suffers from mild adventure-itis, but there are some downright spooky moments, and great ambient noises which build and maintain an atmosphere. Here we see one of the adventure game's basic flaws (inability to render sentient characters realistically) used cleverly to create a "haunted" feel. We also see one the adventure game's primary strengths (the ability to compel the reader to piece together a story) used to good advantage.
2602 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my son looooooves this. great buy!
4735 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "Die Monster! You don't belong in this world!"
By adding DRM you've actually promoted the use of piracy instead of reduced it, because those that really do want to play it will find a way.
VERDICT: Don't even rent this one, unless you are a HUGE (and curious) fan of the first game.
5535 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 To modern eyes, this adventure is bound to look somewhat primitive, but just like a good text adventure, its evocative storytelling transcends technology for those who can get beyond the dated graphics and movement model.
232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 everything worked as promised. seemed to hold more data than stated. great
Graphics are mightily impressive, and pretty atmospheric, too; the look of a gloomy European town is captured quite well.
9918 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When Sega came along with their Genesis system, it didn't reach the attention of the already popular Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Despite its superior graphics capabilities and sound quality, it never touched Nintendo's sales, at least in the States. Why? Perhaps we'll never know, because I think the Genesis is one of the best video game systems ever made, right up there with the almighty Super NES... and this game is one of the reasons why.
Ofcourse now we have Call of Duty, Battlefield, Dead Space, etc... But if you are wanting a vintage gem pick up this game! I stayed up countless nights with friends playing through the game in co-op mode and facing off with each other in team death match. Solo player itself was quite challenging, and still is. I have always felt this game sort of set the stage for FPS along with Perfect Dark and Golden Eye.
every thing is sturdy, crap the port on the back is rusted and has green patina on two of the connectors and the memory card still works in it. Going to buy two more, s*** maybe three.
3128 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sephiroth, the main villian of the game, is probably the best-dressed villian in a FF game. Also, he has the most sinister theme of any villian in any game. Everything about Sephiroth is sinister.
Pita Inversiones II
6073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, Thanks
Many other sequals such as Rayman 2, Rayman Rush and Rayman Arena are all in full 3-D, but are never as fun ( don't get me wrong, Rayman's sequals on Playstation and Playstation 2 are good, ) or as grand of a spark as the original. Rayman sure has had many changes to appeal to his new generation of gamers.
If your into strategy action games, you must own this or at least play it a couple of times. What's more fun than blasting metal while using your brain to defeat them.
3465 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The hardest puzzle of all (NOOOO!!!).
I'll make this short and sweet for you. Sonic Adventure is the best sonic game ever and has great levels, awesome 3d levels and lots of things to do but personally I wanted to beat the storyline instead of that whole chaos thing. I'm going to make this review short and sweet...
The Not as Good:
4229 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't say that the graphics are the best I've ever seen - the backgrounds are gorgeous but, with a lot of things, expecially the people, you'd think the game designers had never heard of a curve in their lives. However, the game itself made me forget about all that. Gabriel Knight is his usual chauvanistic self, but, in spite of that, his relationship with Grace is further developed in this game. The puzzles vary in difficulty, but I never felt as if any of them were impossible. It's easy to see that a lot of research went into the story in this game, and, after finishing the game, I was interested enough to read some of the books they got their research from (there's a bibliography in the game's booklet).
The music is well done and changes as you move through history. Starting out as Medeival and moving into techno. The combats handled much like Diablo so you its mostly point and click repeatedly. Overall the combats fast paced and entertaining but it has its problems. Your other party members have issues with blood use. They burn their disciplines quickly and often, usually on that rat that you can kill with one hit. Also later in the game theres not really any reason to take your other party members with you through a dungeon since your such a powerhouse. The game is real time so using disciplines in the heat of battle can be difficult, hot keys are a must!
Even though it seems I am somewhat putting the game down, I think it's a wonderful, addicting game, and it comes very close to being one of the very best shooters ever. I believe if Nintendo had worked on the challenge I would have given the game a higher score. You should buy it.
3167 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought NBA Showtime with the purchase of my Dreamcast hoping for some real basketball. I was sure disappointed. After playing it twice I put it away for good. The game is stupid. NBA Showtime has the worst gameplay ever. The computer can jump 50 feet in the air to make a block then swish a full-court shot. The graphics are terrible. The players' muscles' are bigger than their heads and they look very unrealistic.
World 3: Jungle, featuring extensive water sections
In the end Goldeneye is a great game and I recommend it to anyone.
691 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If the game defines multiplayer, this is the one.
You're up and running in minutes. You don't have to read the manual, but it helps, especially as you advance in the games. The rides are intriguing and varied, as are the scenarios. The best thing for me is that my daughter (10) and I play this together because it's ageless. You don't need the same skills as you might for Sim City.
All in all a great follow up to MK II and it took the franchise in some interesting new places.

8125 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World is without a doubt one of the best video games of all time! Super Nintendo has dished out some of the most iconic game titles and this is no exception. The game still is so fun after all these years, and still looks good in the graphics department a fine example of what 16-bit graphics were capable of along with the Donkey Kong Country Series! Bottom line If you have a snes or Snes Emulator Console BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! 10/10
Graphics: 8.5/10. This is a more realistic snowboarding game, so there are very realistic colors; unlike snowboarding kids or anything with very bright colors. 1080 features very realistic physics and is very sophisticated. Anyways, the graphics I remember loving mainly because of the powdery snow. I liked to edge in deep snow just because it was it was so fluffy. For that, this game got what it got in this category.
1473 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a classic for so many reasons. One of the first major releases for the FPS genre. It looks and feels like the PC version, at least from my memory, and is as fun as I always remembered.
You can also ONLY save when you've completed a castle or a ghost-house. Yes, the hardest areas in the game. This is also solved by the Virtual Console.
The first thing that strikes you is the scale of the game. It's huge. The second thing is the unavoidable question: What do I do know? Now here's what I did: After entering the game I wandered around for an hour or two trying to make scense of it all. I was then asked by another player if I wanted to swear allegiance to him (which meant that he would be my patron and help me get started with my char.). So I then followed my patron around for a few hours and did what he told me to do. I killed a lot of monsters and was given a lot of equipment. This quickly became boring and I quit playing and traded the game in at my local games store for a copy of "Sacrifice" (which was much more exciting).
5545 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have used 3rd party controllers for a while now, and this one by mad catz is by far the best. Though it is large, it has a rubberized grip, as well as two turbo buttons for fighting games. The range of motion on the toggle isn't as good as the original by sega, but there again, this is a 3rd party. I think it feels better because of its size, and the feel of the controller, as well as the lower price.
Thank you so much Amazon and PellaDVD's for supplying me this! :D
1286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved this game when I was younger. Bought it and still love it.

4350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft was released years before I am writing this review but is still one of the most fun games I've ever played. Actually this is one out of two of the only games I've ever rated as a 5-star game on Amazon.com. If you're reading this you're obviously looking into buying this game and finding out what it's about and such. Starcraft has so many dimensions that after years of playin im still addicted to the game.
5205 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal Gear Solid can be said in three words. Brilliant,Amazing, FUN! Metal Gear Solid is one of Hideo Kojimas finest. It has a very superb plot, Superb characters and lots of great dialoug. Metal Gear Solid was a very hyped up game in 98' and lived up to the hype. I simply loved this game. Metal Gear Solid has bin called by man fans and gamesites as one of the best PS1 Action games. I totally agree and I think it's not only the best Action game but also One of the best games ever created. It has a brilliant story line which I won't bring up since You can find time to read other reviewers since they pretty much tell you. The game is a stealth game. It pretty old Stealth game Acctually, the game is about 7-8 years old. I was one of many Fans to buy this amazing game when it first hit stores. Metal Gear Solid earns its 5 for these things. Story, Gameplay and Villans. The villans in this game are awesome. From the moment you get to the Ocelot fight to getting your hands on Rex You will love this game. Metal Gear solid Has bin one of the most Popular Playstation games and has spawned sequals(ala MGS2 and now Mgs3) And what makes Metal Gear Solid one of the best games is also the fact that Metal Gear Solid has one of the best Storylines in a game. Sure there are some plot holes in the series but Kojima did that for us(the fans) to make our on Theories and to guess and what not once the next one comes out. If you've had a Playstation for a loooong time and don't have Metal Gear Solid in your PS library Then I donno what the hell is wrong with you.
1. Games: The inital Dreamcast games were not all that good, (except Sonic) and were greeted with mixed reviews, giving the Dreamcast little credibility. Thus, low sales.
Half an hour later, I came back with the Master cheat in my hand, which is "BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND", or, if you break it down, "BEWARE OBLIVION IS AT HAND". Within minutes, I had an amazing arsenal, all maps, invincibility, and more by my side. The weapons...well, let's just say the first Turok can't touch them. You have the usual knife and bow and arrow, pistol, shotgun, and the rest, but you now also have a nuke, pod layer (which lays bombs on the ground and they explode on contact), a machine gun (as the first had, but this one's much better), the Cerebrial Bore (the most gory weapon of all. It launches out a little ball, and it goes straight for the enemies head. When it gets there, it starts sucking and draining blood form their head, then, after 5 second, it explodes, and takes the enemies head with it), my personal favorite, the Razor Wind (a shield with sharp edges on it. You throw it and it cuts up all enemies in it's path, then come right back to you. It can chop off just about any limb you throw it at; the head, the legs, and the arms), and another physical weapon, the War Blade. The name says it all.
Another gem from years ago that I played start to finish multiple times.
3685 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gauntlet was the original "get four people and feed in a ton of quarters" video game when it came out over a decade ago, and the arcade version of Gauntlet: Legends took this a step further with more complex weapons and terrain, and characters that remind me of my old favorite, Golden Axe. So I was overjoyed when the N64 version of Legends came out, and it's just as playable as the arcade version that's captured far more than $40 of my tokens in the stand-up version. The graphics aren't perfect, but they are a good rendering of levels, and it play is quick and easy to figure out. The characters are easy to control at first, although you might find yourself with instructions in your lap for a while to figure out how to move between weapons and magic items. The real treat is when you get two or more people together to duke it out and move through levels. It's great to have a game that doesn't use split screens or some other distraction to enable friends to play together. The music and voices are cool, and there's enough gameplay to keep you busy for a while. This game doesn't try to push the envelope or take things too far, but it's a great way to get together with people and fight some monsters for a few hours, which is exactly why I like it so much.
3113 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VII was the first release for the Playstation, and the advance in graphics and gameplay brought new popularity to this great series.
It takes forever just to get to play a mission. The mission starts loading up and someone starts talking, I guess giving a little story to the mission you are about to play. But, I can see that it's all loaded up within a few seconds, but the person just keeps talking. I can't get it to skip past that so I can go ahead a play. This is very frustrating. In a nutshell, I stopped trying to figure it out and went on to buy another game to play. Get something else, this sucks.

Final Fantasy VII is a brillant mind-blowing game.
2. A very cynical view of the phone company.
7164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is a superior and I agree with one of the reviewers...ERRRR...It...Does beat halo..I can't believe I said that. This game had brilliant well made graphics of its time.
4975 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely fantastic. I have been dying to play this game for years and now that I have had the chance I can say it was well worth the wait. Way scarier than Resident Evil and any other horror game I have ever played. The graphics are great for its time - though not much different from Resident Evil. The mechanics and gameplay are very similar as well, however, Silent Hill is way better and much more responsive I think.
The story is for the most part an amateur story. However most Mario games are, Mario and his friends one day argue about who is the best and they decide to find out who is through multiple games of Mario Party. In the meantime Bowser trys to cause trouble for the characters and they end up eventually defeating him at his volcano. Angered by this he tries to defeat them again in space, luring them there by stealing their stars. They once again defeat Bowser, and the winner of that game is declared the Superstar. The default winner of the game is Wario. 6/10
6688 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. Not a whole to say that web reviews haven't already said. Made me feel young again that's for sure!
- Good/Tight controls
Level after level, this game played almost to a T like the movie and you got to use all of Bond's weapons from his magnum to a bazooka, to grenades and plastic explosives and of course, the one hit kill Golden Gun.
But then more problems arise. In the same little area where the music kicks in, you encounter these zombies that come out of the ground and walk towards you, and many times you never see these zombies coming until it's too late and you take a hit. Pesky little things like this are just one of many reasons this game is almost completely unbearable.
The huge worlds will keep you coming back for more. There is no way to put this thing down. 5 out of 5 for replay.

Yet to some strategy-gamers like Yours Truly, Rebellion (known in the UK as Star Wars: Supremacy) does have its virtues. While it is a strategy game on a galactic scale, it does combine elements of roleplaying (players can send major Star Wars characters from page and film on missions)and space warfare at the tactical level (once a player has built a few fleet units, they can be sent from their territory into enemy systems to invade planets or engage opposing fleets).
4897 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Suikoden 2 is a great game, and I'm glad I grabbed a copy way back with the guide, maybe I should sell my copy and take a tropical vacation. Seems that these rare games are developing into collectors items more than games now. If you really want to spend $100+ on a game your bordering on nuts,but buy suikoden part 1 cause its vital to fully enjoy this game. However this game is beautiful, deep, and captivating. I have played it thru several times, you can even load your original suikoden data if you gathered the 108 stars in that game to add storyline and events to this title. Greatest Rpg series ever a must for a true rpg fan/collector.
I got bored of the game easily. The thing I really didn't like was certain enemys that just run away. You have to chase them for what seems like an eternity till you finally catch them and slaughter them, and if you decide to just let them run away they'll continuously come back to haunt you. Then to make things worse the game doesn't save what you've killed so if you decide your done playing for the day the next time you play all the runners will be back. These enemys are called flayers and when I first encountered them I got bored of fighting them over and over and discontinued my gameply and moved to a different game.
This game has a sequel, where the Hazard Team gets assigned to the newest Enterprise (1701-E) under Captain Picard. The sequel looks a bit better, overall, and is plenty of fun... but this version remains the best.
The weapons include hand to hand, you can choke your enemies to death, use a standard pistol with a silencer, grenades, C4, machine gun, proximity mines, a remote controlled missile launcher, a sniper rifle and even a Stinger missile launcher which uses heat seekers to follow your target.
8926 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After playing Metroid, Super MEtroid, MEtroid PRime, Fusion, and Zero I realized that the only one I had not played/beaten yet was the Gameboy version of Metroid, MEtroid 2. SO I went on one of my legendary hunts for this and low and behold I found it. A few hours Later I had beaten it and left me with some interesting thoughts.
Don't just button mash, learn the combos because this is the only game(out of 100)that has made me curs at the TV. If you're a beginner, start of with someone with fast kicks like marchial Law and not Jack 2. BUY THIS because it's an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC.

7623 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Shadows of the Empire was my first game when I bought the N64. At the time, it was the software that definately showed off what the N64 hardware could do the most. It was also the very first Star Wars game to have a realistic level devoted to the famous Hoth scene from Empire Strikes Back. Allowing you to participate in the backstory of this great film, the game is filled with a variety of different gamestyles (from 3rd person adventure, to racing through the streets of mos Eisley, to blasting enemy ships in space) As part of the Shadows of the Empire multimedia blitz (the story continued in both novel, comic and CD soundtrack form) the game also stands as Star Wars continuity and is an integral part to the Expanded Universe. A classic game, definately pick it up if you see it.

Strive for the best copter with all of the enhancments
The game disks should take about 6 to 9 hours if you don't have a guid. The a and b games are both pretty difficult if you don't have a guid. The game is amazing and has a great character desighn like ada wong. Sad how it ends for leon even thoe the b game leaves you wanderin about her during your fight with the new mutated tyrant in his b game. Over all this is one of the best in the series next to 2 and remake.
2405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing this game on someone elses N64 before! So I wanted to buy it for mine! I heard people giving this game a lot of false crap. Bragging lies from the pointless haters group that are just in it for the spotlight. I played this game and had lots of fun I even played 2 player against my friend Mark after he tried he said, "This has become my favorite RACING GAME!" OOOH! That says a lot too the backslammers of this product! HAAA!
7087 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
This game does get docked a notch, however, for some small problems: 1) Pathfinding is still troublesome. 2) Inventory juggling is still a nightmare. I truly believe that about 50% of Baldur's Gate (and this expansion) is spent juggling inventory items. 3) The puzzle element introduced in Durlag's Tower is more annoying than fun. 4) The next-to-final battle against a monster summoned with Durlag's Blade is insanely difficult and convoluted. But basically, if you enjoyed the original you should probably enjoy this expansion.
8628 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I miss playing games like this. The classic video games were so much more fun to play, even if the features are somewhat limited.
Play Control-5/5, Extremely Tight, and not too complex.
To give you an example of what I mean, one of the puzzles involves getting a vehicle so Gabriel can get from one place to another. A perfectly good motor scooter (I think; it's been a while) is available. But noooooo ... Gabriel refuses to ride something so wussy. He has to have a big motorcycle. So that's the puzzle -- getting the selfish jerk a motorcycle to ride.
4898 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When this game first came out, I had no interest in it. There was just something about it. I was more interested in the first, with its more shallow plotline and lighter story, than the emotional, thrilling ride that the second gave. Yet now that I have finished the second Suikoden (missing 37 stars, my bad!), I can tell you one thing. This game is one of the best RPGs out there.
This is a classic N64 game that's a ton of fun
On the outside is a childish kind of package. On the inside is a unique platformer.
Ehh, changed my mind... I'll show the game's score... wouldn't want anyone to think I actually liked this thing...
3006 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 6, a.k.a. Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES, was a great success. Many magazines like GamePro and EGM have praised it for its rich plot and complex scenarios. Nintendo Power even called it "the RPG hit of the decade." Fans of the Super Nintendo and RPGs rejoiced over how great this game was, and with a slew of other RPGs on the system like Chrono Trigger, ActRaiser, and Nintendo's A Link to the Past, a lot of fans---myself included---generally regard this period as one of the best video game production times of our generation, if not THE best.
By the way, Espio is a chameleon!

163 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've bought these before. They slip right on and unless you get one with an obvious defect, they should last for years. These are a must have if you are afraid of your kids messing up your controllers. Then again, maybe they should get their own! lol
The bit of Acting is a bit cheesey but once you get past that. you in a Mansion full of Zombies ,Muntant Dogs, Lickers. snakes and mutant plants around every corner as you explore the Mansion and solve puzzles. it has some scary tone and music in the back ground and if your not fighting for your life your running from things as you try and solve the mystery of your missing team and the dissapperance of the first team that you came in search for.
89 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have been looking forward to receiving this set since I learned about and pre-ordered it back in August. I am a huge Zelda fan and always wanted to get my hands on the strategy guides, but never seemed to get around to buying them when they first released and, over time, they became very expensive. This works out great because we can get all of the Collector's Edition guides, plus one never released and only available in this set (Ocarina of Time) for a great price - each guide ends up being less than $20 each not including the packaging.
IN GOES THE TOKEN. You think I would be mad, but it was very satisfying pulling multiple perfects in a row off on this kid. I smiled big and looked down and gave him the
The gameplay features the same basic principles as the first game. You have to solve puzzles, use a limited supply of ammunition, herbs to heal wounds, carry only eight items, and use typewriters to save. Its nice they stuck with the original format of the first game and I wish every Resident Evil game in the series was like this.
The game has two parts to it. Theres the story part where you are on your adventure with your fellow Goonies and then there is the part where you have your alter ego and you go dungeon crawling. None of your friends get to see you in your awsome form except for the princesss girl.
Lets go over it:
9807 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 HAS to be one of the most groundbreaking games ever to hit the original Playstation gaming console. Not to mention the most addicting. Well, Dino Crisis 2 is probably the most addicting, but this game comes next.
8717 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Good:
FF8 is a great game. Although somewhat ruined by the story of FF7, FF8's hero does have dynamism and personality, and the ability to read the hero's thoughts is a great enhancement to the game's storytelling. Many recurring symbols emerge through objects, equipment, and special effects in battles, to represent the characters: the cross, the lion, the angel wing. The abstract "flower field" scenes lend significance to the literal ones, and the significance of Laguna, Julia, Raine, and Ellone's story lends a sense of inevitability to Squall and Rinoa's attraction. Figuring out and using the junction system is lots of fun for the player, although the gameplay could have been improved significantly with one or two simple changes, such as limiting the amount of magic that the party may draw from each monster.
Probably the biggest difference between the Dreamcast and its competitors is the built in 56k modem. This allows Dreamcast owners to log on to the net, surf the web, and fight other opponents head to head. This opens up a HUGE opportunity for finding playmates that until now was restricted to computer gamers. The web surfing ability only sweetens the deal, although like WebTV, there is no ability to download.
A: Port it to the DS to allow the following;
The biggest pro in this game is the fact that you can fart and burp and that, my friends, is a sad, sad thing indeed.
My new one runs like new. Every game boots right up. The design IMO is attractive but dirties to easily. Fan power seems a little weak, but vacuuming the vents every few weeks or so really helps mine -- do at own risk. Its a little brick with a mediocre hardware system. Its easily just as loud as an xbox 360 when disks are read. Has a cd player option that is attractive when used alright sound put out. The system utilizes its 4 controller slots a lot of the time to the max. This is a fun party game system. Roommates really helped with The use of this system. Games such as: DOA,Wetrix,Le mans,Crazy taxi 1(2),Power stone 1(2),soul caliber,and many others were fun games to play with four people sometimes two right next to you.

Though I doulbt You can get this game since it's out of print. I guess you can get it used if you can find it.
THE VERDICT: *** 3/5
Overall, Diablo 2 is a very good game, but not a great game in my opinion. It should offer many hours of gameplay and does have replay appeal. Don't look for the kind of depth that you would find in full-fledge computer roleplaying games such as Baldur's Gate or Morrowind. Diablo is less about acting out a part in a grand story (although there is some of this) and more about the instant satisfaction that comes with arcade-style action.
- Graphics are pretty dated
You are "Gabe" Logan, a special operative for a super secret government orginization aptly named "The Agency". Your mission is to find a dangerous chemical stolen by terrorists from a lab and stop them before they destroy the world. You are remotely partnered with Lian Xing, another agent who guides you through your missions and later on in the game is in action on the ground.
Ever since Final Fantasy IV, the series has used the ATB battle system and Final Fantasy VII is no exception. Every character has an ATB gauge that lets them take action once it's filled. Pretty basic, but Final Fantasy VII gets a bump by being very customizable. The Materia system allows for nearly endless possibilities for its characters. There are several different kinds of Materia. There's your basic magic materia that give you spells to cast, but there is also materia to give you more battle commands such as being able to steal or throw items at an enemy. There are other materia there just to boost your stats and others that enhance your spells by giving you the ability to hit all the enemies at once or to absorb health from your enemies. There are far more in each category and they give you infinite ways to play Final Fantasy VII.
The plot is basically based around their Grimoire, which was written by "Pepys", a mystic / Black Magic Magician. The Legend is quite intriguing, & quite ingenious, actually.
1865 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Whatever happened to the days when games were made to be fun? Whatever happened to the days where replay value was through the roof and graphics were not as heavily emphasized? This game is well over 10 years old now and it is still fun to play. Even in this day and age I see kids enjoying it. This should be one of those games that developers look back upon and say what made that game so much fun? What can we learn from this aside from improving upon the old school 3D graphics? Spyro may not be the best game of all time but it certainly is a fun one for me that I have had a lot of fond memories playing.
This game has very few downfalls, and what few there are certainly do not take much away from the game. My biggest pet peeve was the junctioning system. I hated that system with a passion. I could never fully master it, and in the end it became an enemy of mine. I spent a day reading the manual trying to figure it out, and while I have mediocre control over it, it's nothing special. It was frustrating. Without the aid of an on-line guide and the useful advice to collect 100 Ultimas and junction it to strength, I'd never have won.
INNOVATION
World 3: Prince Froggy (Fort), Naval Piranha (Castle)
This game has many flaws, but it is a very rewarding experience. I would recommend the game for those expecting a challenge. The later games in the Tomb Raider series ironed out many of the issues experienced here. If you're curious about the beginning of the franchise you won't be disappointed, but maybe a little stressed.
The spells are great! The conjurer, my favorite character type, has a Pixie Swarm to help defend him, and can have various creatures hang out with him as sort of a roving company of friends. I like the wolves and spiders myself, but you can acquire just about any enemy out there to hang out with you and help protect you.
8739 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best non-serious racing game for SNES! Pick from eight racers, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Bowser, Koopa, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and the Princess. Then pick your difficulty and one of three circuits that you want to race on. Each circuit has five racetracks, each is severely detailed from start to finish! The ghost houses have ghosts everywhere, Bowser's castle has thromps to come down and crush you! You can pick up items along the way, like mushrooms that give you a huge boost of speed, stars, which make you invisible, and shells that you fire at the other racers! Throughout the game you can even add to the fun by earning extra difficulties and an extra circuits with five new and cool racetracks like star road. The only downfall is that the game is quite dated, because it is for SNES, and there are versions for Gamecube, N64 and Gameboy Advance.
Graphics (6/10): Sigh. Everything is pixelated. I'm not sure whether the graphics for this game were considered good when the game was released or not. On the bright side, the character designs are good as well as the towns. The dungeons are another matter, but more on that later.
Well, let this make it clear to you. Even 2-3 years after it came out, it's still the most addictive game ever made. And it's worth the ...dollars(Don't forget the Loopy Landscapes Pack, an extra 30 dollars). Sure it's not 3D, but the reason it's not 3D is cause everybody would need a Pentium 9 Processor(which should be out by 2035)to look at all the gorgeous colors and amazing details in 3D.
The gameplay was original. Same with characters and eveything.

8779 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Golden Axe was a classic title and to this day, I still can't get tired of this. You are either a axe wielding Dwarf or a Male or Female Barbarian with a sword. Your goal is to find the evil Death Adder and defeat him. Along the way, you use spells and even get to ride on Dragons and use them to help you in your quest to bring peace to the land.
Final Fantasy V: This was the first time Final Fantasy V was released in the US. For the time it was released (1992), Final Fantasy has amazing graphics. The story is fun and involving. The game was also very innovative when it came to the class change system and overall game mechanics. I would recommend this game to anyone that is into into Sci-Fi, Fantasy and RPGs.
If you do get this game, be warned: You will spend many hours in front of your PC playing! It is the "enemy of responsibility"!
Much like Bullfrog's Populous: The Beginning, however, there isn't a lot of game here. It's more of a puzzle game than a real-time strategy game, and once you solve the puzzle, actually enacting it is usually pretty straightforward. Like P:TB, the beginning levels are easily won by accident, making this a good game for children if you don't mind the "suggestive content". (Actually, all there is is that the Pain Mistresses enjoy being tortured. But we're not talking about "Soldier of Fortune" violence or "Panty Raider" sexuality, here.)
[Sparks, The Dragonfly]
As a result, Soul Calibur has also managed to age well, in part because it was so far ahead of its time. In fact, its sequels can only seem to do worse because aside from tweaking characters and adding moves, there isn't really much you can do to improve the experience of Soul Calibur. A franchise that achieves this much critical and commercial success right out of the gate doesn't really have anywhere to go but down. And indeed, the Soul Calibur series has often been criticized that not much has been done to the basic formula as the years have gone by. But when you play the first game it becomes apparent that it's really hard to build on that particular foundation. We're talking about a game that was hailed by critics and consumers as one of the greatest games of all time when it first dropped onto the Dreamcast in 1999 (and is one of the few games on Amazon that still retains a five star rating years later). Where exactly do you go from "Greatest," exactly? No where, really. But it seems to be a testament as to how powerful and impactful Soul Calibur really ended up being. The original still manages to be a strong game even by todays standards.
Cons
7595 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well you probably are well aware since it's been mentioned in extensive detail for 20 years now, the Genesis version of Aladdin is much better than the Super NES edition in several -but not all- categories. The Genesis version allows your character to swing a sword around and contains some of the most beautiful, breathtaking and fluid animations and graphics the Genesis ever had. Unfortunately for Super NES owners the graphics have been toned down not a *lot* necessarily but enough to be noticeable, and there's no sword swinging either I'm afraid which REALLY changes the way the game functions. Also noticeable is that all the characters and enemies look smaller. In fact *everything* looks smaller with less animations as well.
now getting one today is easy, since alot of games were made for it, and they won't break, but it kinda feels olde then it looks, always get one with a memory expansion pak! the jumper pak gives the framerate slower then it should
As for the gameplay, it's decent, if not as tight as the Resident Evil games of the time. I enjoyed fighting more than the puzzles, which I always found a bit too hard and obscure (just wait until you hit the infamous Zodiac-themed puzzle). If the puzzles annoy you, just hit up GameFAQs for the solutions. It's worth it to get past them.
This game is one of the best head to head fighter games. Unfortunatly the team at Crapcom decided to make a billion versions of Street Fighter for every other system... talk about over kill... but they didn't wanna make one for the 64, so thats there loss, which means Mortal Kombat is the best head to head fighter on the 64 if you ask me.
1218 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game!
Story line is incredibly intersting and you do feel like you literally have been with them in person. At times you want to ring your hands around the lead character, Squalls' neck.
What the creators have tried to do is take a new approach by putting 4 games together in one through the different ages played by the lead character. All of them are as bad as one another. It plays like doom did and the AI is possibly the worst ever, in an age when AI is as good as Theif and SS2. I think Pong had more intelligent coding then Daikatana. Unlike games where you injure someone and he runs to find his mate. Shoot a baddy in Daikatana and his mate will stand lifelifeless next to him watching the world go by.
9466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best looking game ever made for Super Nintendo. The art style is just simply charming and the gameplay is tight. SNES owners should have this in their library.

This game will attach itself to your brain and never let you forget about it. This game never ceases to evoke a reaction from the player, and never ceases to amaze everyone who plays it.
The games plot is alright in some specks...I really didn't care for the story to be honest with you but The graphics on this game were great for the year it came out.
If you read the beginning, I can't think of anything.
- Gameplay is pretty balanced
If you liked other FF games, you'll probably enjoy FF8 to some extent. However, my brother loved FF7 and played it for 90 hours but quit FF8 after a few hours, so who knows.

The plot's OK, the D&D system is pretty sophisticated, there's some real polish in places and we've needed a good RPG for a while (i LOVED Fallout, which had lousy, but still vastly superior, map and movement controls), so i got the game the very first day it was released (xmas eve), and my roommates and i played it for 2 weeks, but eventually i got so sick of the control scheme that i just erased the frustrating thing

3533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For me, the VMU just saves games and displays useful information to me in the controller window for certain games. And those tasks it does a fine job at. You just have to have one of these for each controller that gets used on a regular basis. The display is what cinches it because, frankly, they don't have enough memory on their own. NFL2K1 alone will chew up one of these guys if you play a season.

1879 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Never having played a spyro game before, I figured I'd start with the first one which I downloaded off the Playstation Network on PS3. At first I was turned off by the camera control and graphics, but once I realized how fun the game was, it was no longer a problem. I did everything in the game for 120% in a matter of days, as I found it to be very addicting.
-People who just want to beat the games plot and nothing els shouldn't even touch the game(because the game doesn't take too long to beat for plot and if you're planning on not having a fun time with the game and just wanting to beat the game and getting it over with, what's the point of that?)
The bike designs look like they've been inspired by the movie Tron, featuring aerodynamically rounded bodies with no trace of a rider. Each machine has unique handling, shields and acceleration, and is equipped with a built-in laser weapon. Controls are pretty tight, but they definitely take some getting used to. In the beginning you will probably drive all over the place and have a hard time aiming at your opponents, but after a while, you will be amazed how you're able to keep track of things at speeds exceeding 300 miles per hour. But the real thrill lies in taking out your opponents with some of the awesome power-ups found on the tracks. There are more than 12 weapons types, including all kinds of missiles, flash bombs, mines, laser tripwires and even a flame thrower. If you thought using Mario Kart's "lightning item" was a dirty trick, wait until you see XG's portal holes, sling shots or the "static pulse ray" that reverses your opponents controls. An awesome arsenal, to be sure -- but what good would it be if you couldn't try it out on your favorite buddy? Good thing Probe took the extra time to include some solid multi-player modes. Two to four players can race at the same time, either head to head, compete in a capture the flags mode, or hunt each other down in the Mario Kart-style Battle Mode. Unlike most polygonal racers out there, Extreme-G also features a two-player Grand Prix mode (Extreme Contest) that lets you and a friend compete against six other computer drones, and an awesome Tournament where up to 16 (!) human drivers are pitted against one other. As most other racers, the two-player mode splits the screen horizontally, and things can get tiny in the four-player split-screen battles. But there's an added surprise for all you triplets out there: When playing with three, the first player gets 1/2 of the screen, while the other two get quarters. N64.com predicts bruises and bloody noses in the battles for the first controller, comparable only to the good old "who gets to sit in the front seat" fights. Despite some slowdown and lower framerates, XG's multiplayer modes will keep you coming back for more while your other games are already collecting dust on the shelf. Kudos also for the good data management screen that lets you refresh without having to press Reset every time you flip data banks in your switchable Mem Pak.
The good stuff: The graphics are cool, not the most impressive nowadays (2003-05-06) but still neat. Although they aren't technically superior anymore (they once were) I still like the way the game looks because the designers made the graphics so creepy. The art on the walls, the dark woods, crypts, you go through all sorts of cool settings.

The game mechanics are, in the usual Raven style, very well thought out and implemented. Before each mission you are given a chance to load up on weapons and supplies. This isn't typical first-person shooter fare where you can haul around an entire arsenal, you must choose a few weapons and supplies based on a limited number of slots. In mission you are allowed to drop weapons to pick up different ones, a very nice touch indeed.
Pros-Great game, excellent aircraft. Cons-Need joystick, Bad sys. requirements Bottom line-Best non military flight sim if you have the speed.
P.S.
For instance: If you were to go into a set with a monster movie theme, you'd be inside one of many dark casles with frankinstiens and living dead. He can also play in Cartoon Worlds, Prehistoric Worlds, Space Worlds, Chinese Worlds and quite a bit of secret bounus worlds that you gain as you work twoard acheving 100% on the game.
I go through the Clock Tower and I hear these really creepy sirens, I'm to the point where I want to turn the game off but my friend was with me and kept telling me to move on. So I start to go into the school and once I'm in, I'm freaking out! All the floors were replaced by metal grates with nothing below them, the walls were like chained fences, everything covered in blood, pure horror and terror!! I was really scared by the visuals and the music. Something really creepy in the Alternate school is when you go into one of the bathroom's on the first floor, you end up on the second floor, creepy!!! Just everything that I saw and heard in every room and corridor scared me to death!!
-You need to plug your youtube credentials into the game to let it export your highlights to YouTube. I don't think CodeMasters wants to rip you off, but if it makes you uncomfortable, create a new Google identity for use with Dirt 3. Easy!
The key features to the game are as follows:
9012 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Monster Rancher for the Playstation is a great game. You pick what type of monster you want to have, give it a name then start with the fun part. You train it in many different activities to improve speed, agility and HP points that help them in battles to win and stay alive. Then every couple of weeks there will be battles you are able to compete in with money prizes. You need to use some of the money to buy food for your monster. It usually likes a certain kind of food. If it likes you, the food your are giving it and the amount of training you're doing it will be happy and glad to listen to you. But sometimes with the wrong food or not resting your monster enough it won't listen to you during battles or training. If your monster does good enough in battles in certain areas it will gain new, stronger moves which bring the opponent's HP way down. This a must-have game for any PS owner.
7854 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game brings back nostalgia every time I play it, its fun and all but my only complaint is that you can pass this game very quickly for me took me less an hour to pass but other than that it's fun to re live the 90's fun fun times.

Yes it's still a classic but it's not worth it on SNES. You're better off getting it on the SEGA system because that way you could overcome the censorship and at least put in a "blood code".
6842 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic 2 for Sega genesis is indeed a classic. A Game Boy Advance re-release would be great. I hope to see one that isn't as screwed up as the Sonic 1 GBA re-relase is. On Sonic 1 for GBA, the spin-dash move (As introduced in this game) can now be done and you can also save your progress. But what the GBA re-release on Sonic 1 doesn't tell you is that the game moves very slowly and sonic jumps higher and runs faster. If Sonic 2 does get a GBA re-release, I hope it doesn't go as slowly as Sonic 1 on GBA does. the only modifications that would be great for a Sonic 2 GBA re-release would be 1. Knuckles 2. Save 3. A flying Tails (as introduced in Sonic 3). Anyways, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is a classic game and I would love to see it re-released in more than just Plug N Play games
5423 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is fun until it freezes, one, two, three, four, five times in a single day of playing. I think the vendor sold this copy because it was defective. Not my first time experiencing this issue years ago it was the same thing. But with games going down in quality who can blame me for taking a chance.
1955 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What's not to love. It's a game!
- Has all fighters from Street Fighters Alpha 1 and 2 as well as a few from the old time Street Fighter's like Street Fighter II: The world Tour
Fundamentally, the game is still the same, with that unique ability to barter and beg 6 wildcats for 1 Xena from other, more clever AI players that makes it so unique among these types of games. However the mod (and you need to get this game if only to check out the mod and aforementioned mod tools), changes things in such a way to correct bugs left over from the final Special Edition release and the later LOMSE.exe beta patch and added a few extras such as AI security for capitol and the temple.
8762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Flashback to 1989. Sega has released the Mega Drive in Japan, and received somewhat dissapointing results. Fearing that the same would happen in the U.S., Sega hired a special team in 1990 to design a character that would carry the Genesis to the top of the gaming world. After 14 months, they reached a solution. Sonic the Hedgehog. A small, blue-spiked hedgehog with red sneakers that could run at the speed of sound. In the U.S., Sonic the Hedgehog was a runaway hit, and Sonic became a gaming icon overnight. A game that had this much success was obviously a great title, right? Exactly. This game (at the time) was everything a gamer could hope for. One with an undoubtedly cool character, awesome graphics, break-neck speed, and enough replay value that would still make you play it years down the road. This was no ordinary game. This was a revolution.
1340 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Better than TR2 for sure. It has some brain taxing levels filled with puzzles, secrets and some enemies. I'm glad to see they have cut back on the enemies and focused on the puzzles and scenery. They have definatly picked some good locations for the game, with brilliant details that are authentic in style. Unfortunatly that is where the authenticity ends.
3516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is another great R.E. game with a cool mercenaries game at the end.
9920 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When it comes to the eerie music theme, the dark cut scene's is what I will always remember. It was dark for VG gaming of the 80's and that's what makes it ahead of Its time. I will always enjoy the transformation scenes from a Werewolf to a Bear, e.t.c....This side scrolling arcade style still is a classic for all times.

The gameplay is pretty straight forward. When not in combat you walk around and talk to people, collect items. Pretty standard fare. When in combat things are a bit different. It essentially becomes a move around and shoot as much as you can sort of deal. It's all done with auto aiming so this part really isn't like scrolling shooter. Also be warned you can miss your target... a lot. But as long as you continue to increase your shooting skills in the RPG aspects it works out. A high enough skill level and you won't ever miss.
8358 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing this game for months now. I was surprised at how much fun this game is. If you have a Playstation One, you have to get this game. If you're a collector, you have to get it or your collection will be incomplete. It is addictive and will suck up hours out of your life.
8419 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 EXCELLENT!This game is the perfect game for Nes. I love driving all the courses and I love the cups,and the people you can drive! You can drive Mario,Luigi,Donkey Kong jr.,Yoshi,Toad,Bowser,Koopa Troopa,and Princess Toadstool(Peach). You can play a normal game or battle with friends!
In short, get this game! It's worth it!!!
In Dr. Wily's stage, things are just plain unforgiving the first time you play through it (Thank god for Passwords). There will be spikes in places you least expect, traps that seal you to your doom, etc. Also, before you fight Dr. Wily, you must battle 4 MORE robots from MegaMan 2 (NES game)! Be sure to get your powers ready, because you're in for a short marathon.
Alucard, a vampire himself, seeks to rid the world of Dracula's tyranny and his own cursed bloodline. Interesting that it would be a vampire fighting another vampire...and who is this Maria Renard? Why has she come to Castlevania? And how was she able to enter the castle when only members of the Belmont clan are able to?
Overall, please buy this awesome first-person shooter. Today, in 2007, first-person shooters and war games (specifically World War II games) are all OVER the place to the point where it's almost boring to play one anymore. This is because war time games are a genre that has lost its appeal over the years, thanks to overexposure and repeating more or less the same required-strategies with each new game that gets released. In other words, all war games are basically the same thing these days. It's boring. But guess what? Back in 1999, when Medal of Honor was brand new, the Playstation didn't have a whole lot of games like this, and war games were treated with more respect, which make Medal of Honor all the more special. Pick it up.
You remember the disgustingly distorted characters in FFVII? well, thank god, they are replaced with actual human-like figures that look like HUMANS at last. no more stubby oversized arms and legs with huge heads that remind me of cartoons.
5774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It has been a while since I last completed this game, perhaps over two years, but even to this day I love it. It can still be addicting even though I have beaten it at least 4 times, and mastered the whole thing at least twice. I think what stands out with this game are the characters. Most games just develop ordinary backrounds for characters but don't really emphasize them, but with this game, the story almost IS the characters...it basically revolves around their life, how they met, how they are related to Laguna and his friends, and stuff of that sort. I have played and beaten almost all of the Final Fantasy's (save a few of the Japanese ones and the PS2 ones), but this game really stands out and is possibly the greatest in my opinion. FF6 and FF7 are also very good, along with 4 and the first one. I just can't find a flaw here...the love story is fantastic , you will really get into Squall and Rinoas relationship together. I also think Squall is a very interesting character, as others have said, you will want to get into his mind and find out what makes him tick. When i first played this game I thought it was horrible, but I gave it another chance and it really grew on me. If you are looking for more of a Mario RPG style game, or Final Fantasy 9 style game, you will be disappointed. If you can accept an RPG with the story revolving around something some sort of love story, this is for you, but I can assure you this is not your typical Final Fantasy. The sound is also fantastic, and doesn't repeat the same tunes over and over too often like some other games (Xenogears). The graphics aren't bad either. Blah...just get it.
You can find Max lounging laconically in the bargain bin of most computer/gaming stores thusly the purchase price will be around 5 or 6 bucks. A good deal if you want to kill 6 to 12 hours depending on your 3rd/p/s expertise. If you are one of those players that was born with a keyboard in your mouth and a mouse stuck where the sun doesn't shine you will whiz through your MPE (Max Payne Experience) in less than 5 hours, tops. And that is one of the games shortcomings; it's on the short side. Get it? Shortcomings & short? Heh, heh, heh... I kill myself sometimes.
2834 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to play the h*** out of this game when I was little and even more when I got older. Its one of those game thats old, but never got boring even when I played it multiple times. For those who are new to the series, you might think its just running up to monkeys and catching them with a net. You're partially right. If you go into this game and try to catch every monkey by just running up to them with your net, you will get a game over fast. I own the other 2 games in the Ape Escape series and played them multiple times, so its safe for me to say that Ape Escape 1 is the hardest of the series. Let me go into a little more detail.
Overall, I give this game 4 stars - it would have been 5 if there wasn't that stupid camera problem. Also, I recommend this game for all ages, especially ages around 7-15.
3. Perfect controls - One of the best controlled games for the Super Nintendo's controller. DPad works great for moving Yoshi, and Buttons are not hard to remember using for attacks or for special tricks you make yoshi use on his enemies (ground pounding, firing frost breath, and etc.)

I played this a long time ago (first WL game i played) at friends house an i wanted a copy but gamestore didn't have copy of game at the time but they had wario land 3 so i got it (wario land 4 and the GBA didn't come out yet) then when gba an WL4 came out i got that but my friend didn't manage to get a GBA but got WL2 (luckily) an i played an beat it an thats how i beat all WL games. I played super mario land but not the 2nd one but i didn't really like it (its just me thats all). an a few days ago i got this game at gamestore! u should get it too cuz it leaves off after marioland 2 (i know the plot from end of SML2-WL4) ill explain the story
Also the Battle Engine - totally unbalanced. A good RPG will provide balance between physical & magical attacks, so they are near-equal. A good RPG will make each character unique with specific skills & weaknesses (like real people-some are fighters; others are healers). Not so FF7:

The route laying and running of trains takes place in a 3D window which can be rotated as required and zoomed in to give you a good view of your railroad at work. The ambient sounds provide background or serve as clues to what's going on. The sceech of your crashing train is suitably disturbing to make you pay attention.

2. Tomb Raider 4: Last Revelations
5961 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Graphics are not the greatest anyone has seen, but no other game provides as many hours of fun as Diablo II does. One of the real advantages of this game is you can just install it and play. You don't have to read a book the size of "War and Peace" to understand how to play. You level up at a rate that makes you want to never stop playing. This game also has the perfect balance of Magic Items and different things to make you want to keep adventuring. I've played it all the way through with every character class and enjoyed a different experience each time. I bought the expansion pack and played each character through that. I'm waiting for another expansion or something. I just can't get enough of this game! Every Blizzard game released is a good quality game. If your sick of getting games that don't work that well or are full of bugs before and after patches are applied(ie Buldar's Gate, the new Pool of Radiance), you can find comfort in the fact that Blizzard doesn't release garbage software in a cool box. They put excellent software in a cool box. They also provide great quality FREE on-line play at Battle.net. Blizzard is a top-notch company devoted to top-notch gaming software. Blizzard is a member of an elite group of software companies that take pride in their products.

Basically you control Indy and you run and Jump and whip and shoot and pick up artifacts for money and solve puzzles. You solve puzzles by pushing things or pulling things or moving things or dropping here and there. The idea is simple, but it's really fun.
Perhaps it was with Resident Evil that horror games began to rear their ugly head (pun intended), but it was here that psychological tension and true horror was established on the Playstation, as few can argue the tension and suspense this game, and all of the games in the series exhibit in terms of just staying with you long after you've put down the controller, and have crawled into bed for what you might have hoped to be a nice night of sleep. Although part two trounces this game in nearly every category, this game still stands the test of time, as one of the defining games on Playstation 1, as where RE reinvented horror, Silent Hill turned it on its head, and bludgeoned it with a rusty screwdriver, making you wonder where in the hell the creators for this game got their ideas in the first place. Basically the story in a nutshell revolves around Harry Mason, as he drives by the town of Silent Hill late one night, with his daughter Cheryl. Upon seeing a motorcycle cop pass him, it is only moments later, where he once again sees her bike again; but turned over on the side of the road. Upon looking back up a girl is standing in the middle of the road, Harry swerves to avoid hitting her, and the next time he awakens, he finds Cheryl gone, his jeep destroyed, and he is in a town encircled with mist and filled with dead ends that lead to nowhere in particular. Picking up mellee objects and guns along the way, Harry fights through hordes of demons (or are they really demons?) to find his daughter, and try to save her from the hellish town of Silent Hill. From a church to a school, and all the way to a hospital, and a mall, few places are left unturned in Harrys search for his missing daughter, as the mangled pieces of ths puzzle fall into place, the storyline becomes more and more disjointed until the bizarre final battle in Nowhere. A note to those that might play through the game, and be caught off guard by the seemingly strange storyline, that never seems to come together completely, play Silent Hill 3 to get the true conclusion of this games storyline, or simply head on over to GameFaqs.com and check out any of the storyline weavers over there, they are written impeccably well, and help to bridge the gap where you might be left wondering exactly what the hell is going on. Although the games battle system is a bit awkward, Silent Hill is more about atmosphere and storyline, which it exhibits in spades all throughout the whole series (once again part 2 being the pinnacle). If you enjoy this game, check out Jacob's Ladder, an excellent and disturbing movie, that hugely inspired this game and the series in general, this will also help you get a feel for the whole disjointed reality, nightmare scenarios present thorughout the whole series. All I can say to conclude this article is wait til these guys make a game on the upcoming generation of systems, as truly these crators are geniuses, that have mastered the craft of game making to an art form, and their works give you the same kind of horror and awe as looking at Francis Bacon painting, as we wonder just what the hell is beyond the abyss, awaiting us in the inner sanctums of our own dilapidated imagination, and dreams. Enjoy.
True, some of the puzzles are hard, but none of them really seem out of place. Indeed, there is with _Grim Fandango_ a true sense of plot. Maybe the characters don't develop as they do in novels or great films, but, thanks to fine vocal talent and crisp writing, they do maintain charming integrity throughout.
6759 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am not sure what makes the Gameboy Pocket so appealing. The blurry, laughable graphics? THe fact that a cellphone has better graphics? It's superugly design? Well, I am not sure, but the Gameboy pocket has something about it. I will just say though that it's really cool to play black and white Space invaders and Pokemon, almost as much as playing GTA on the Go (GBA version, only a goof would skip VCS or LCS, or a stupid parent).
5512 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Throughout the games of Midway's length, many of theirvideo games were straight from the arcades,whether it was Mortal Kombat, or NFL Blitz. Nevertheless it was very rare to have a video game to come straight from the shelves, that wasn't from the arcades. That answer came through with the release of Rush 2.
The music:
Oh and all the cool covers on the disks? horrible black and white labels!
+ no random battle
Graphics C
I find that the detail level does not lend itself well to the standard dreamcast controller. There are too many things to do and the interface layout is awkward without a keyboard and mouse. I also found that the action part of the game (moving the aiming cursor) was overly sensitive and very frustrating to use.
I felt like I was royalty! No, not just any old royalty - I felt like I was King. Friends who didn't have this console were considered in a class below the awesome might that was known as the SNES. Those four letter meant you were the coolest kid on the block. Adventure Island 2? No thanks! I'd rather be rocking out to the superior graphics of Super Mario World.
4505 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Kings quest collection is very good. It has all of the kings quest games except Kings Quest 8. It also includes other neat games from the same creators. The collection is pretty challenging and will keep you up late in the night for months. Very fun!
I don't like having to resort to hints in order to play a game because it's released before the necessary technology is truely ready.
The camera was occasionally frustrating, and once or twice maddening, but usually very non-intrusive.
919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best Mario Kart still to this day! I have played all of them and this one still holds up as my favorite, even if the roster isn't the most robust. Some of the best tracks and the music on Rainbow road is just amazing.
6469 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How many Medal of Honor games are on the market these days? More than enough! Let's talk about the very first one, on the original Playstation. This game is a fantastic first-person shooter *and* a great World War II game. You get the best of both worlds with Medal of Honor.
Sound: 9/10. There aren't really any voices in this game; just kind of sound effects that are different for each character. Blubber on Treasure Grove Cove sounds like he's burping or throwing up, Kazooie sounds like a gagging bird, Banjo sounds like a big old hick of a bear... and so on. The music in this game, though, is some of the catchiest and the best music i've heard in really any adventure game. The music doesn't really get old, and whoever created it is brilliant. Overall, the sound is really, really good.
3633 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE, ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE GAMES YOU CAN PLAY FOR HOURS. GREAT PRICE AND GREAT CONDITION OF ITEM. DEFINATELY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS WITH PRICE, QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY.

The graphics were pretty good I'll admit, but then there was Shaq to remind me that I was playing an absolute piece of crap. The characters clobber each other with puns before a battle ensues, oh dear god!! After your brain is crushed from the weight of sheer bad humor the fight starts. At this point you take a deep breath and think "Well at least that's over...". That is if you haven't gotten to the point where your thinking "!$@@&%*@!!^$$#...." and believe me I'll understand if you have.

Play it if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed.
Now the Cons:
One thing that positively stinks is that the land of Hyrule, despite being presented as beautiful (and realistic- don't tell me Nintendo wasn't riding the 3D high in 1998 and going for realism here) it's basically a gigantic piece of nothingness. Simply a means of getting from one area to another. A large, colorless empty field that Link either runs or rides his horse across. Nothing magical, medieval or interesting about *any* of this. It feels too much like taking a typical walk across the field beside my house. Going into this game after a Link to the Past, you'll be scratching your head wondering what happened to the huge variety of overworld enemies, pretty and colorful environments and enticing obstacles. Remember all those trees, rocks, grass and water sections from Link to the Past? Remember how rich and vibrant they looked? Ha, nothing nearly as diverse is featured in this bland and inferior overworld. Oh sure the monsters come out at night (in predictable spots) but that's it. As far as I can see, only one monster actually comes out (named Stalchild). Terribly lacking. The trees are spaced apart in a way that feels lacking too.
This version of the game is a director?s cut edition, but it?s really nothing special. All we get is an extra mode that is more challenging and features different outfits for the main characters, but if you already own the original, there?s no need to get this version. Apparently the Japanese version also had extra cut-scenes, so we were cheated! So much for it being a ?director?s cut?, huh?
But the series as a whole is one of the best. I really enjoy how the charecters intelligently speak with one another in a world ruled by corruption, Hypocrites, and half truths.
9544 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Tactics is one of those games that seems like a throwback when you compare it to FF7 and even FF8. The characters aren't polygons - they're sprites. There are no pre-rendered backgrounds, but tiled 3-D Isometric battlefields. And there is no dungeon exploring - just strategic battles you continually have to survive to get to the next part of the game. Does this sound good? Keep reading...

1904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a very fun game. Very well made. You play Spyro(DUH), a young dragon. All the other dragons(I think there are 60 or so of them), have been captured and turned to stone, and are scattered about in the different worlds. The Dragon Eggs have been stolen by theives who are running around and hiding in different worlds. The dragon's treasure is lying around everywhere(not to mention alot of it has been turned into enemies). And who is the cause of this? GNASTY GNORC. And now, as Spyro, you must save the dragons, find the eggs, collect the treasure and defeat Gnasty Gnorc. Ok, that's the plot basicall; now here is what the game is like: As Spyro, your mission is to(As I said before) save the dragons, find the tresure and rescue the eggs. Being a young dragon, your wings are not fully grown, so you can not fly. You can, however, glide over short distances. You also have the ability to(Of course)breathe fire and charge with your horns. There are several worlds throughout the game. Each of these worlds has one home level, and in each of the home levels, there are doorway/portholes through which lie other levels for the worlds. In each of the worlds there will be dragons, treasure and eggs.
This is just the demo, folks! I strongly suggest you see for yourself before you drop your cash on the real deal.

*Some people think for an old game like this there's lifeless brown or grey colored levels on flat land without even playing it...not true. Pentagrams everywhere,corpses impaled,walls made from flesh,scrolling walls made from intestines. I think it's the eighth level on Doom I you meet the barons of hell in the center a star-shaped room that's like a temple most unexpectedly...caught me completely off guard first time I ever played Doom and never forgot it. That's one thing about the older Doom games,chockful of surprising moments!
There's also a Training mode. This mode has you beat up enemies until you die. Just keep progressing through difficulty levels, beating up punks. You can play as any character you want here. Even all the enemies (Pick the guy with the flamethrower) and Two-Face. This could just be a Genesis game itself, considering how some popular Genesis games don't have this mode. You can also play with a friend HERE, which is where things get really fun.
The game featured a basic HUD with two annoyingly large bars, placed above and below it. That was the first thing I noticed. Next I saw that the terrain was sort of fuzzy, and my gun wasn't all that impressive either.
Gameplay: It took me 30 hours WITH cheats 10/10
1808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game so much because it reminds me of my childhood. I played it for a little bit when I got it, but just love the classic style game overall. Can't go wrong for a classic PS1 game.
I like the way the game recognizes how damage is dealt. For example, I picked up a knife I found on the ground. I sliced a guy with a shirt on, and he fell back but didn't die. After I did that, a shirtless man charged me from behind. Well I quickly turned around and shanked him right in the chest, and you know what? It killed him, right then and there. The game realizes that not wearing a shirt would obviously hurt a lot more than if you had one on, strangely enough.
I really love this game. Smooth gameplay, great graphics and difficult puzzles.
Extra: Hit That Switch!!
The music is in the upper echelons of N64 sound. There are a surprising number of melodies, and to the best of my knowledge, few if any are reused on different tracks. It's all high-geared racing music, with the exception of some the Frosty Village tracks (which sound like Christmas racing music).
-Great music and sounds
7693 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I don't know if i need to give this game more time but so far it sucks
8696 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game works great. I bought this game for my husband, it was his favorite growing up. It was packaged very well and arrived on time like promised.
1902 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A wonderful game, and I believe that it is a lot better than the second. In the second the graphics are solid, but the bad guys aren't the greatest bad guys and plus the levels look alike. Anyways, in this game you'll jump off prehistoric glaciers, face giant enemies, glide across cliffs and free enslaved Dragons, and collect gems and treasure. Sure, some parts of this game is a little frustrating, and sure, the camera angles are a bit awkward, but you get used to it and get the hang of it. It's a lot like RP games, where the first time you play it, it is incredibly hard, but once you beat it, you'll play it hundreds of times. I must have beat this game atleast thirty times. Probably forty. Anyways, buy it. It's worth your money. The graphics are fluid and spectacular, and at times this game can have some humor in it. It's worth the money, believe me.
5527 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Mortal Kombat Mythologies sucked just as much as the other MK Adventure games. Those being of course,Special Forces and Shaolin Monks. The storyline in this game is set years and years before the first MK Tournament took place. I guess you could call it a pre-quel. The gameplay is absolutley terrible. The controls are very unresponsive and there are WAY too many cheap hits that you take in this game. MKM mixes both repetive digitized graphic gameplay and awful acting in FMV sequences. As many have said,this game is extremly difficult. Hell,I had a VERY hard time beating it,with cheat codes...and with it being on very easy. All this mostly due to all the cheap hits that you get hit with by different enemies. There is also puzzle solving as well. Most of which will have you pulling out your hair. Overall,This game is crap and you shouldn't waste one dollar on it. Avoid this and the other two MK adventure titles as well.
All these years later I've just picked it up, second hand, for the N64. And I must say there is not really any difference between the PC version and the 64 version, which is a good thing!
This game is a must get in your video game collection. This game also started the trend where super games have 64 in their name for example Donkey Kong 64 Super Mario Kart 64 Pilotwings 64 and Super Man 64.
Replay Value 10/10:
If you have never played this game, you need to play it, if only to understand what kept millions of gamers (and probably half the population of South Korea) sleep-deprived for years.
I, personally, like the custom scenarios. I also like a really cool scenario that is kind of like a arcade game where you try to protect your nexus (protoss main building) from oncoming enemies. and get 'galactic heroes' if you survive.
In short, Mechwarrior 3 ROCKS and always will.
With a very simple design and set up like the previous 2 Nintendo consoles (SNES & NES) the 64 was another cartridge based Nintendo console with no load times and generally easy maintenance (remember blowing into the cartridges and consoles?). The controller however, was something that was dramatically different from both previous Nintendo consoles. This controller offered an analog stick and more than the standard 2 or 4 buttons. The analog stick was great for the 3D games and made it very easy to navigate, however, after enough hours of play it stop working in one way or another.
In addition to the trusty tools I mentioned above, you get a whole slew of other gadgets you can use to capture the monkeys, including an r/c car, slingshot and monkey radar. Unfortunately, the monkeys are also armed with everything from grenades to machine guns to canons.
Despite these flaws, I really think that this game takes many of the well-known traditions of the Final Fantasy series to the next level. Anyone who has played and enjoyed the other games in the series will enjoy this one. I know I did.
1184 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I found Half-Life to be somewhat interesting, although it started to run thin by the ending levels. Not many of the levels were amazing, either. Just long hallways, small rooms, and an occasional elevator shaft that you climb up. I like 3D games that let you be outside, looking over vast plains of enemies and obstacles. Half-Life just didn't cut it in this arena.
There's nothing breathtakingly new about the level design. If you've played one Sonic you've played 'em all in this regard. But the varied themes and tunes will keep you entertained. I think that Lava Reef Zone may well be my favorite Sonic tune ever.
The graphics are a bit basic, but again, I find that a likeable feature. And if nothing else, it shows that the game developers and programmers are more concerned about the FUNCTIONALITY of the game than the appearance. However, the environment (and most especially the night sky) are detailed and quite stunning in their own right.
Final Fantasy 7 is still my favorite, even tho i am currently wrapped up in Final Fantasy 11, but thats a different game.
9020 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Strider was an arcade classic action title featuring a ninja with an extremely large sword swipe attack. He could cut through robots and giant androids like a hot knife through butter. Still a blast to play, still some of the best graphics on the Genesis, and the best translation from the arcade game.
9076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the best Donkey Kong game ever! Why? Well for one thing, it has undeniably the best graphics on the Super Nintendo. Of course, a game can hardly be judged by the quality of its graphics, as any true gamer knows. The characters are interesting, the gameplay is fun(even if it is easy), and it has a pretty good story. This is definitely a classic game for the SNES. It's fun no matter how many times you beat it!
902 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One for the top five greased N64 games.
3647 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always been a Sega fan. Through Genesis right up to this. Let's just say that I am so very happy that I came along this. Now, I see that there is a war of gaming systems and every one is confused on which one to buy: PS2 or a Dreamcast. I for one have played both: A few weeks ago, my cousin had rented a PS2. He called me about it, saying how great and grand it was, and I was curious in seeing it. I got there and played it and was dissapointed. There is nothing new. You look at Madden 2001 and NFL2K1 and you can't even tell them apart. PS2 launch titles were just dumb games trying to showcase how great PS2 is. None of them made any sense. So I turned and looked deeper into the Dreamcast. I became more and more obsessed with it. Games like Shenmue, Resident Evil: Code Veronica blow PS2 out of the water. Just save your money and get a Dreamcast...that sort of sums it up.
7318 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Instead of blabbing on about how much I love this game I'm going to list the awesome features of this game.
So, yeah, the multiplayer is simply amazing and the game is definitely cheap enough by now that if you see it you should buy it without question. Don't worry about the graphics. You won't notice when you're dodging guided missiles, goliath tanks, and mines trying to get the queenlord back to your base so you can win the round.
The basic storyline is that it is the 1930s and you are a mysterious figure with a top secret government agency that hunts monsters. In Act 1, you team up with Svetlana, a sexy half-human/half-vampire, on a mission through European castles and forests involving vampires and werewolves. In Act 2, you are on your way to a small western town to clear it of its problems with the walking dead, but the werewolves from Act 1 first try to exact their revenge. Eventually, you wind up solving a Lovecraftian mystery deep underground with the aid of a voodoo god. In Act 3, a Chicago gang is bringing its dead members back as Frankenstein monsters and you have to destroy their monster factory, but they are in control of the city. In Act 4, you must confront a former member of the organization who wants to destroy it for its new politically correct willingness to work with good supernatural creatures and escape all the deadly, devious traps in his house of horrors. There is a bonus act (basically, a short film), but you can only view it with the editor which you can download from the Nocturne website.
and demeanor. Unlike many of the Final Fantasy games, one does not get to know the villan as well as the mighty Sephiroth on Final Fantasy VII. I hated him, yet felt sorry for him at the same time. To make it an even more intriguing game along side of the story-line and character development, the battle system was well constructed. The Materia system allowed the player to equip Materia, (magic) to their weapons. (Certain weapons had more Materia slots than others) When some Materia is linked together such as -All- and -Lighting- it can create an overall attack on all the enemies versus just one. Though some may debate that the graphics sucked, one has to understand that this game came out in 1997. Graphics six years ago were bound to be worse than what they are now.
3695 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best Sega system ever, the game population grows for it every week, I have only played four games on it so far, but the games I have played and own are real gems.
it had more speed, multiplayer, better graphics, and super sonic.
5979 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played the original Diablo on the Mac and this version on a Wintel system. The game is varied and challenging. I tried the Barbarian class and found it to be a lot of simple, zombie smashing fun. If you like action in a fantasy setting Diablo II is a great ride.
Canyon levels
3236 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best fighters ever made, actually quite possible the best fighter ever made thus far. Graphics far superior to Tekken or Dead or Alive 2, this game rocks. There is so much to do, you unlock all kinds of good stuff by fighting like galleries of art new costumes, and levels to fight on and more. This game has great strategy in it as well as it is not like Marvel vs Capcom where you just push buttons and pull off random power moves. This game is exceptional and I own it since the Dreamcast debut!
The interface is similar to others I've played, but addition of the bow and arrows makes this game truly stand out from the other shooters. The sword and the blaster are no longer your favored weapon and there is no BFG. It is brains and agility that are the weapons of choice. There are many different types of arrows you can use, such as water (such that will douse torches from across the room so you can further sneak in the dark), noisemaker (to make useful distractions), moss (so you can tread upon noisy surfaces unheard), and others. Surface sounds? yes! Thief: The Dark Project has better sound and sound effects than any game I have ever played! It is truly amazing! You can hear conversations among the guards, whistling, walking (and the sound of people walking changes as they step on different surfaces), moaning zombies, and many more...all with the right perspective. Guard around the corner through a door sound muffled, sounds legitimately are placed in the area(speaker) you'd actually hear them in and yes water that sounds cool and refreshing...
5466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was good, but some puzzles took a bit long.
The Good:
5228 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game is terrible, I've seen it for PS, and own it for PC, and I can't stand it! The graphics are terrible, the gameplay is too similar to Diablo 2, without the fun stuff like the Horodric Cube, or the range of items. Save your money, buy DII and Lord of Destruction... you'll feel better that you didn't waste your money.
8960 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is action packed and so much fun. Especially when you have somebody playing with you. There is nothing cooler than walking down streets and other places,beating the crap out of bad guys. My favorite character was always Axel. I love the way he fights. Max Thunder is my second favorite. He's slow,but he sure is powerful. Streets Of Rage 2 IMO is the best game in the series. The first game was okay,but nothing like this one. I couldn't stand the third one. But if you want a really good video game where you and a friend can walk around beating up baddies...this game is for you. An all time classic!
Donkey Kong 64 -
4456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is not the original official SNES controller but it's a very well done recreation. The buttons feel nice and tight and the over all size and shape are the same. Really all it's missing is the Super Nintendo logo in the middle.
510 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you love castles,goblins,monsters demon vixens and skeletons swinging swords this game is for you. I thought the graphics were excellent and solving the levels wasn,t difficult. Some may fine the dismemberments a little to gross, but my kids enjoyed it.
freely explore the landscape, the difficulty level is just right. There's no need for a strategy guide, if you're clever &
6615 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "The game might as well stayed unreleased..." I don't agree with this at all! I personally appreciate the effort of Square to give us this game - a game we otherwise would not have. FFA should be a game in your PSX library. 2 for 1 - can't beat that. I feel as though even "new-school" gamers who played FF7 first would find these games entertaining. Now as far as the comment in the editorial about FF5, this game is the hardest in the series, next to the FF3 that Japan got (for the original NES). The bosses are hard, and mastering the job system in this game takes a lot of effort. Try going through this game without dying on a few bosses and you can consider yourself an FF expert.
591 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game may be old, but it's still fun as hell. The scenery and graphics are really not that bad at all. Quite a change from "traditional" fps games... which is definitely a good thing.
-Unique, innovative, strategic gameplay
Overall this game is very nice and enjoyable to play. I especially loved playing the Borg (who wouldn't?). As for bugs others encounted in the game, I found none and you can download patches to add additional ships to build if you desire. The replay value is very minimal unless you focus on the multiplayer side. Activision has taken a good step in making this game. They have many of the basic conceptions right on the money. All they need to do now is add more functions and polish the game up a bit. I will definetly purchase any sequels to this game that might come out in the future. So Activision, plot us a course and "Engage!"
7445 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works amazingly!

4491 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Awful! A real disapointment. This game is confusing and boring much like civilization 2. The game cover made it sound much more exciting than it really was. I bought it a while ago from Rinho and it was bran new then. I was sooo dissapointed. It takes forever to play, the battles are cheesy and a waste of time. If you are considering buying this game, I reccomend you try it before you buy it. Belive me it's not even worth $5. I've always been dissapointed with Sid Meier's games. So I think I'll stop trying them. If your considering this game, try Imperium Galactica 2. It's awsome. No comparison. I hope you found this reveiw helpful.
793 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I LOVE THIS GAME. It is so funny and a bit hard to beat. The hardest level is in the temple where a shuttle is launching and you have to collect data, kill Jaws, get launch tape and launch the shuttle. My favorite level is the Facility Level. That level is so funny and you can shoot the scientists, but it will fail the mission if they were killed. My cousin and I love to blow up the enemies and scientists. My favorite is shooting the scientists and enemies in their butts and they would jump up and down rubbing their butts and then they will fight back and the scientists will threw grenades at you. The controls are easy and this game is better and funnier than the movie. BUY THIS GAME.
8884 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For some reason, I never played this game back when it came out, when I was a teenager. I recently got back into video games and have been playing through all the highest rated games. I wanted a break from all the 3-D games. I wanted to play 2-D character that could go extremely fast, and I definitely got what I wanted in Super Metroid. I liked the size of the game, in terms of how long it takes to beat, and all the interesting items you acquire. There were a couple parts in the game where I got stuck and had to look up what to do next. And there was an ability (I don't want to spoil it) that was very aggravating to try to use. But the small problems I had with the game weren't enough to stop me from giving it 5 stars.
Nox has often been compared with Diablo, and while I can see why that comparison can be drawn, I would liken it more to Revenant. Like Revenant, it has a good story line, very impressive graphics, and a very simple control system. But it leaves both Diablo and Revenant floundering in its wake, since it has a pleasing amount of gameplay, acceptable voice acting, challenging (but not impossible) puzzles, and a satisfactory ending. I wasn't having much success in the final showdown, so I restored and tried a different approach (always take note of your latest find - it's often a clue to defeating your next foe). That time Hecubah could not withstand the concerted attack, and after a great little final cut scene, Jack (and the TV) were restored to Earth.
1770 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
Enoch and the Extraterrestrials.
Needless to say, the Final Fantasy Name is tarnished by recent FF titles that don't even need to be mentioned in this classica review, all in all, there beth not' another grand final fantasy since 1997, A hui kaua Final Fantasy VII.
6485 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great Price And Game Thank You
3542 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, I'm a little embarrassed to say that I just got a Dreamcast about a week ago,but still have vivid memories of all the commercials that were played and watching my babysitter at the time play it constantly until the PS2 came out. I'm going to review the system in parts because there is just so much to cover that it needs to be broken down.
1003 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably a top three game as far as popularity is concerned on the n64. Just a simple racing game with the original Mario cast, but a game that was a lot of fun. Multiplayer mode was even better as it made for real good fun competition amongst friends. Truly a classic game that is a must for n64 collection.
Once you get there (either as Leon or Claire), you start to unravel a story that is just completely amazing. If you play as Leon, you meet up with Ada who is looking for her boyfriend John and a newspaper reporter named Robert. As Claire, you met up with a little girl named Sherry, a scientist named Annette (who is Sherry's mother), and the police chief Brian Irons.
Skirmishes take a real long time to get going; I mean, at least a half an hour before you can get a sizeable force. And then what do you find yourself doing? Protecting your base with them, and attacking with missle launches. I'm dead serious, the only way to attack is with missle launches. To attack with your men (Especially tanks) takes like ten minutes to even get to the enemy base!
- You can enter buildings like the Recycler and Factory, and alter weapons loadouts. This is useful if you want all your tanks to have SP-Stabbers, or your turrets to have Lasers, for instance.
2731 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll bet you're wondering why I gave this 5 stars.

1852 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played the original Spyro trilogy extensively multiple times in my childhood, having attained a 100% completion status on the first 4 Spyro games released. I am no stranger to the series or this game in particular obviously. I bought this game almost only because of the nostalgic value it has to me. As well as the fact that I'm attempting to amass a collection of all game console systems and the best of their games, according to my own opinions.
9. Psylocke (One of my favorite X-men, and overall choice over Wolvie, to bad Gambit wasn't included.)
Westwood Studios decided to take a stab at the Blade Runner franchise and make a game so true to the movie that you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. I think they succeeded in this. They do it in three ways: Plot or story structure, visuals and sound. All of which holds onto an important credo: be true to the source material.
I can't verify if it's actually Japanese since I hadn't gotten around to researching it.
4157 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought Rollercoaster Tycoon a long time ago. This game is pretty exciting for anyone who dreams of running their own theme park. You can build from over 14 different rollercoaster plus you can build your own race tracks and alot of other exciting rides. But the fun doesn't end there. You have to put up food stands, bathrooms, trash cans, shops, and some nice scenery to keep your guests happy. You have to build thrilling Rollercoasters for the intense guests but if you build a Rollercoaster that has too much intensity, nobody will ride it. That's the challenging part of the game. But, not all people like Rollercoasters. A lot of people prefer gentler rides such as Go Karts or the Merry-Go-Round. You can also hire Entertainers to help keep your guests happy. When your guests are complaining about how long your line is just pop in an Entertainer right there and it will cheer up the guests and in no time they'll be on the ride. You also must hire Mechanics, Guards, and Custodians to clean up the park and take out the trash! If you don't build good rides and don't have enough scenery and shops then your guests will be unhappy and destroy your benches and trash cans...then you gotta replace them. You can help stop vandalism by hiring a few Guards that patrol the park. So those are just the main reasons why I like this game. You can build about jsut anything you can imagine. So why did I give this game 4 stars? Well, because this game gets very boring after a while. I'm into multiplayer games like Quake 3 Arena or StarCraft. But whenever I come home from a theme park I wish I still had this game. I may even buy it again. Trust me, this game is a hit for all you people who like to be the boss.
6466 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was stellar for it's release time, and is still fun with a solid soundtrack and presentation. Graphically it is showing it's age however, and the control scheme is different from most FPS configurations and will take a bit to get used to. There are some interaction issues with objects in the environment (getting hung up on invisible objects, clipping into walls and trying to find the way out) that happened 4-5 times throughout the game.
4590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nostalgia fun.
7864 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game came out years ago, and since its creation there have been many copy-cats. But no game has ever surpassed it in its genre (multi-player racing games). Wanna know why?
Shadows was one of the launch games for the N64, and while it might have been a decent game in its day, maybe even a good game (I can't, however, believe it was ever considered a great game), it hasn't aged well at all. To compare, I also recently grabbed Super Mario 64, the original launch game, and still found plenty of charm left in that old cartridge.
188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Considering its just a rubber cover for the XBOX 360 controller, actually, it's made well...and the price--not bad at all. Excellent product for an excellent controller.
-Difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard, Crazy
931 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goldeneye 007 is the best game for the Nintendo 64. Its an amazing game, and its still fun to play today. There was a game called Perfect Dark that was similar to this and came out later, but this is the far better game. Tons of great guns and gadgets are here, and the gameplay is awesome. Its not the best first person shooter ever(Halo for Xbox is), but its still one of the best. The graphics aren't the best ever right now, but at the time, in 1997 or so, they were real great. The music is good. It has a mysterious sound to it for some reason. This game has some of the best levels in any game, and it controls great. Multiplayer in this game is some of the most addictive ever. At the time it had the best multiplayer around. It might not now, since there are games like Halo and Diablo II, but like I said, it was the best at the time. There aren't really any negatives. All hail to the best game on N64, and one of the best games ever.
7113 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game just remember u need expantion oak to paly it
I was never a fan of the 64 controller and this is the one game where it hurt most. The controls and gameplay were difficult at best, and normally I have a decent tolerance level for controls; Here's where I absolutely loathed it. Getting your character to go where you want is quite a challenge for this game. Also, the storyline, aside from the two characters' different (yet similar) paths, is really hollow at its core and doesn't add anything new to the Castlevania legacy.
8307 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a GREAT game. The puzzles are really cool (though a few are a little but unlikely and obscure, but still). This may sound a little strange, but I think what really helps "make" the game is the soundtrack. The music for this game is PERFECT. It's so haunting and mysterious. You just know that there are great mysteries to be unveiled (alright, that sounded really cheesy). Seriously though, this is awesome. It's also cool how the game can have a lot of different outcomes depending on what you accomplish and how you do it.
9311 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games of all times. It combines deep storey, nice graphics, smooth adventure and great Action in a way that will make an adict ! It's a classic !
Overall Vampire Redemption is a must buy RPG and definately worth your time, also the price has dropped a lot so its easy on your wallet.
The storyline for this game is linear, but each of the levels are large and have a lot of areas to explore. The theme of the game is kind of light-hearted and cartoonish. You walk around the levels, hacking or shooting or zapping monsters, finding keys, and breaking open stuff for goodies. In between levels, you can usually visit merchants to buy new stuff and get your equipment repaired.
This game is long but easy enough for the average yet dedicated gamer as well being challenging and deep for the pros such as the ones at Nintendo Power who love it.
The DC also has what has been recognized as the best fighting game of all time - the wonderfully deep Soul Calibur. Add to this countless 2D fighting games, and other fare such as Dead or Alive 2 and Virtua Fighter 3tb, and you have happy fighting game fans.
1552 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The main game is ok, but the multiplay game is hella fun! Grab a friend or two and play all night. I never get tired of Battletanx.
I've decided to update my review (four years later) because my original review was not only extremely negative, and not only wrong, but also a bit disrespectful as well. I apologize for that.
Difficulty- 2/10 (Note- This is how much I like the difficulty)
Bottom Line. 4&1/2 stars for a truly immersive game, even compared to the glamour of the newer games. Get it! It deserves to be in your collection and will not set you back any money.
My point here is: This game features the same story line structure of the past two games, only this time we get to play before and after RE2. That dirty trick was Capcom's strategy to make the game's storyline a little bit different and engrossing.
The ability to throw rocks or oranges or anything similar is a nice feature. However for those looking for a more Donkey Kong Country style adventure, throwing just takes the DK series in a direction even farther than what we've come to know. I do wish the rocks did greater damage to enemies instead of requiring the player to throw several just to bring enemies down. Also if I haven't mentioned it yet, the play control is incredibly smooth and lightning fast. King K. Rool's final showdown is pretty awesome. It's basically a boxing match with plenty of humor thrown in, but you have to use all 5 Kong's in a specific way revealing different weaknesses on K. Rool's body that will ultimately bring him down. The whole concept is creative, but a little silly too. The silliness makes him seem less threatening/impactful in my opinion. It's not necessarily a Punch Out style game either.
In 1998
3033 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VII was actually rated the best game ever made, which explains the cost. Some find this very hard to believe, and which I don't blame them. Either way, it's still proven to be the greatest Final Fantasy made to this day. It features over 60 hours of gameplay, with an amazing storyline. You can play with 9 charaters in the game, with two (Yuffie and Vincent) being hidden. It also has one of the best soundtracks. Yet the new, "original" soundtrack partly ruined it. Yet that would be for another review.
There is a part where you need to remember particular sounds and replay them in order so you can proceed. This took me forever! I couldn't get it right even though I thought I remembered it. It truly tests your mind. Getting by that particular puzzle was very gratifying.
Going back, it may not match up against some more recent titles in every facet, but overall this is still a solid and spectacular game. In my opinion only Zelda The Ocarina of Time and Super Mario World can compare with this title in overall quality and fun. Though I have other personal favorites (big shout out for Ogre Battle!), I cannot argue that Final Fantasy 7 is among the three best games of all time, and easily the most ground breaking RPG ever. As nostalgic as the earlier titles are (and I love them all), this game just proves that solid gameplay and an amazing story are timeless.
+ An imaginative use of its characters
Phoenix: This is a Maian (the 'grey' alien race) pistol, that fires out quick laser-like shots, and it's secondary mode (great from a distance) fires out large fiery shells, that do great damage to an opponent.
Analog:5/5
You start the game stranded alone on the Island of Myst, with no idea how you got there, and no idea how to get home. Your only clue is a note found on the ground near the island's library. From this slender beginning, you learn about the history of the island, about Altus and his two feuding sons, Sirrus and Achernar, and the four mysterious Ages you must visit and explore. Be sure and explore the Library thoroughly. Check everything. The books in the library contain important clues. They are not strictly necessary to solve the game, but they help out a lot, especially the Mechanical Age (with the rocket ship). Personally, I found the Channelwood Age the most difficult, but all of the Ages can be solved with a little logic, and thorough exploration. Each Age is also filled with little trinkets and gadgets that don't really help you solve the game, but they reveal a LOT about the personalities of Sirrus and Achernar.
And the game would not be complete without sound. Again, Ocarina of Time gains a perfect score here. The sounds that Link makes when he fights, moves, and interacts with others are both enjoyable and believable. The echoes that your character makes are varied depending on what type of environment he is in. Likewise, the soundtrack is just as appropriate. Each level has a different musical score, and each song blends in beautifully with the surroundings. Also, some of the songs are familiar tunes from the previous games, transformed just right for a sound that is nostalgic, yet new. The ocarina songs are appealing as well, adding another interesting component to the gameplay. Ocarina of Time really has a wonderful soundtrack, and even today I still enjoy listening to it.
7360 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thanks
5145 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I adore the entire Metal Gear series (except for the first two games in the 80s/1990). This game is great...awesome story (very believable, too), great cutscenes (terrible graphics, but that's how it was for the time), and ok combat. I had to take off one star for the following reasons:
5995 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS IS DEFINATLY THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED FOR ANYTHING, ANY GAMER SHOUOLD NEVER GO WITHOUT A COPY!!!!!!
Otherwise, in terms of graphics this game is visually striking. And I truly mean that. Vivendi did their homework when it came to developing this game, and it was created with love and passion for the science fiction space opera genre.
5066 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament.. I like both.. But Unreal is about 10 times better. The single player in UT is actually fun to play. The Multiplayer is FANTASTIC...advised you have a fast connection. The graphics are great and it even runs on older machines. Tons of weapons.... Great game modes.... The bots are very smart and fun to play with. This game is WAY more team oriented than Q3 and actaully involves STRATEGY. Fantastic game..one of my very favorite games....GO BUY IT!
4713 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing through all the Castlevania games lately and none of them hold a candle to this masterpiece. Everything you want in a gothic horror, platformer is here. You will find that the RPG elements work seamlessly with the rest of the action packed gameplay.
4089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Roller Coater Tycoon is by far one of the best simulator PC game I have ever played. This game is what it sounds like...You build a theme park. There are many different environments to choose from(you get more environments as you beat more levels. The graphics in this game aren't jaw dropping but they are okay. But this game isn't about graphics, it's about freedom. It's very challenging to get your guests to actually like your park:)
3808 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mechwarrior 3 is the sequel to the classic mechwarrior 2 which made me stay up almost every night. Now, I must say the graphics are beautiful. The lighting effects are shown well on my Creative Labs Savage4. Gameplay is pretty impressive too, I use a gravis blackhawk. For keyboard users, you do get a fold-out leaflet with all the keys, pretty intimidating at first. The biggest problem with this game is its length and difficulty. The missions finish way to fast and are way too easy. I beat most of the missions on the first try. I also finished the game in less than a week. But you multiplaying on any of those networks. I'll probably buy the expansion (I hope its good). There arn't many new mechs too, so another disappointment there. All in all, this is a good game, but to fully get its value, you have to play against other people.

8189 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Thanks to the guy that reviewed this for 2004 and gave away the ending of this POS game, I played it when it came out and suspected that I was going to get a s***ty ending. Fortunately for me, my toddler son at the time needed diapers so I sold it and that damned snes. He's 23 now and I don't miss that pile of dogs*** snes!
Mega man and zero have their own cutscenes and endings. Playing both characters is a must. Nostalgia of gamecube biohazard remake.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
6273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The console arrived in great condition. The packaging was done carefully and I haven't noticed any defects with the product. It works great and feels like new.
9485 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I go any further, there is one reason why you need to play "Yoshi's Island". During one of the boss battles, Mario and Yoshi are fighting a giant frog's Uvala while trapped in the frog's stomach (it's a weird battle, to say the least); after defeating the frog, the frog then literally expels Yoshi and Mario out through its rectum. Without a doubt this is the strangest scene in the entire Mario series, even with the "Peach is Bowser Jr's mother" scene in "Super Mario Sunshine.
- No voice-overs, so there is lots of reading
5775 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Somehow, having played as many games as I have, the experience of playing this one stands out. The love story, all the Final-Fantasy style extras like finding all the GFs, the silly fact that nearly half the game takes place in what in real-life terms would best be described as a school; I don't know what it is, but something makes me hold this game in higher regard than any other game since Lufia I and II and Super Mario 64.
9421 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an awesome first person shooter! I wouldn't say it is gorey and that bad (well as for me I am 14 so I don't think so) but I don't recommend it for childern under 11. They don't have much of a selection for guns but the ones that they have are pretty cool! The levels are quite hard and you are prone to die it level 2 and 3. Level 1 is easy and simple and the enemies aren't advanced yet. In level 2, you get to see more enemies. WARNING: This game may be scary when played at 10:00 PM at night with lights off. This game has awesome sound effects. The music isn't much but it definately makes it scarier! When I first got this game, I thought it would be like Doom64, stupid, really dark and bad graphics. I was totally wrong. It may be a little dark but it's easier to see than Doom64. The graphics are exceptionalla and it's defintely not stupid. It is somewhat addicting. The multiplayer is okay but it is only compatible with 2 players. You can die really easy in multiplayer. Pretty good but could have been better. Overall, good game with an okay set of weapons and great levels. I recommend buying this used. I'm going for Quake II next!
4913 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A little cheaply made but fast delivery and a great price.
GAMEPLAY 5/5:choose to be axe battler a blue barbarian with medium volcano magic, Tyris flare a girl with best magic with fire or Gilius thunderhead with worst magic but awsome attack and ride dragons and bizzare Chicken legs!!! SPOILERS! SPOLIERS! there are 8 levels of gameplay an thieves that look like sqquirels. U can do 2 player team or vs but team is really fun if ure nervous u can u can start out on begginer mode an change health meter (3,4 or 5) before takin on ARCADE mode.
The weapon diversity was nice, including the new bow gun powder you could add to the bow gun bolts for an explosive effect. They could have been a little less frugal with the ammunition also, but they always seem to make you make every bullet count to get through these types of games. One thing that was nice was the fact that the knife was actually a somewhat decent weapon this time around. Generally, the first thing I do once I come across one of the storage chests in a Resident Evil game is ditch the knife, and never take it out again. This time, I carried it around for a good part of the game, because it was an effective weapon against zombies, particularly when you could get one off by himself. Two slashes at his legs would put him down, and I could usually slash him to death on the ground before he could get up. That really helped on conserving hand gun ammuntion, and was a definite plus.
3432 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having this system again has allowed me to re-experience so much of the fun I had years ago. Resident evil games, Shenmue, Railroad Tycoon 2, these are just a few of the games that this great piece of hardware powers. I love the ease of organizing game files on visual memory units and the way how the time /date settings remained accurate over long time periods even with the system unplugged. Really worth having
There are no power ups; instead, Yoshi swallows enemies, converts them into eggs (rather curiously, in a biological process nowhere elaborate upon by Nintendo) and then can shoot the eggs at various angles. Also at various points Yoshi can turn into different vehicles (such as a helicopter or a drilling machine) by touching a vehicle transforming icon. If Yoshi touches a star, Mario jumps off his back and becomes invincible. Invincible Mario is the only time you actually play as Mario. Once his invinicibility wears off, Mario is transported back to the original location of where he left Yoshi.
this was one of the first Arcade games ported for the Genesis.
2.) Menus design sucks and is bland
The CONS: None.
6968 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great game
In this Game Boy classic, a big hairy creature chases Donkey Kong through more than a hundred levels to rescue Pauline, the original damsel in distress. While the objective of each level is always the same, the ever-changing assortment of baddies and traps that occupy them are not, adding mileage the game. Speaking of which, mini games and speed runs offer players the chance rustle up some extra lives. However, there are just as many ways for Mario, our hero, to wind up dead. Bless the soul who had the bright idea to add restore points to the digital version of the game. On the other hand, the near-impossible challenge is what makes DK barrels of fun.
Each world is thematically diverse. The first world features basic levels that ease the player into the gameplay, teaching you the rules and dynamics of Mario's new adventure. The second world is set in the plains, the third world is set in caverns, and the fourth world is set on dual bridges, along with some mountain levels.

If you think the town is creepy at first, just wait. It gets MUCH better. Skinned bodies are hung from steal fence walls. Faceless zombie children sneak up on you in the halls of the Midwich school, knives in hand. Everything is drenched in blood and guts. Screeches, banging on a piano, cockroaches the size of cats scuttling across the floor and nibbling on your toes, the body of a decapitated dog whose head has apparently served as a child's basketball lies on the ground, grunting gorilla/men tackle you and tear out your throat, nurses in the hospital pursue you with knives, the ghost of a little girl runs past, giggling, headless ragdolls are nailed to the walls, something in the room crashes but you turn....and noone's there.
6007 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At first Diablo II seems very out of date in graphic quality and the linear plot... BUT it indeed is a excellent game. And it is a very player-oriented game. I am now in ACT III, from the very beginning I do not refer to user manual. Everything you need is clearly shown on the neat control panel. The most important and successful is, Diablo II bring us back to the very essence of RPG --to explore ,to fight, to enjoy the other-world. It avoids the boring ,complex weapon and armour setting (like Ultima), avoids lots of unused magic (like most RPG), avoids meaningless quest (like M&M). Only pure explore and direct quest. You know what you are doing now! It's so addictive that today I played it from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm....., oh my finger aches...
31 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you like rally cars get this game you will have fun.
5337 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Given that I have upset many people with my controversial view of this (cough) classic I decided to give it a second chance.
6864 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Another lousey boring basketball game. where do they come up with these games. this game was stupid.
The game took me about 50 hours to beat (though I tend to be slower than some). In my mind, the game is about 35 hours too long. So, expect the "meat" of the story to be padded with superfluous side-quests packed with obnoxious combat and torturous dialogue. I like side-quests...when they are optional or purposeful. In this game, the side-quests are neither. Adventures in a ghost ship or on a mysterious prehistoric valley might sound fun on paper, but without important story revelations or fun gameplay, it's boring. Granted about 10 hours of the game is pretty interesting. But that's a mere 20% of the game. In school, that would be an 'F'...a FAILING grade.
7271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the smartest and most demanding games you will ever play. It is tetris, but with little men that get into special vehicles that you operate to move objects around a city path to allow a runaway nuclear bomb on a truck a clear path. It is not as easy as it seems, is very addictive and some of the best fun I ever had playing any game. There was nothing quite like. I played this for thinking and Turok for shooting. I remember this impressed quite a few brain friends I had. They loved it. It is quite a thrill also. Tense when you get near the end and the nuclear lorry is right on your tail. Amazing concept. Thanks for these memories and happy times.
Now, if you're in last place you literally have no chance of catching up.
That's the best one I have so far.
The game sets the forces of the JDA against the Sprawlers. Each side has similar units - 'guardians' and 'rumblers' as ground units, trikes, tanks, medics, you name it. The uniqueness for this game isn't in its basic makeup or the thought behind it - strategy games by their nature share a basic manner of working. What really makes the game stand out is its design, and its graphics.
7120 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was used but very good as the seller said. This was on a friend's wish list, and I got it for her. Some of the listings for new were quite high, but this one was a very good deal. So if you want to find a good game for yourself or a friend, you may want to give this seller a look-see.
6876 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is really fun, but I don't believe it deserves 5 stars. The graphics are crisp as you sidescroll through many worlds, many of which are in the movies. You can through apples at the enemy guards or fight them with your sword. One thing that I find wrong with the game is that when you kill a person, all that they do is poof into some dust. There are bosses in some levels that are quite challenging. The beginning levels are easy, but as you progress they get much harder with the final level of Jafar's palace. This game is a lot of fun and I suggest that you get it if you like older games. If you have one of the new systems, I suggest that you buy a game from that system though.
Highly recommended! Please buy me! Don't waist a second, Buy the whole series Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, don't waist a second!
But, I digress- still building from weapons, skill sets & basic traps/ puzzles from the previous two games with several new elements like quicksand, thieving monkeys, deadly piranha swarms, a freeze-to-death meter for the final Antarctica world alongside the breath meter & more. Brings back Eidos' weird dinosaur fetish they appear to have had in the 90s full force (All three of the original Tomb Raider games have dinosaurs, as well as at least one other Eidos game from the same general time called Deathtrap Dungeon. It doesn't make sense because it's a fantasy game, but neither do the 2 T-Rexes under the Great Wall of China in Tomb Raider 2.) And the PC version, once again, has bonus levels. Search for Tomb Raider 3: The Lost Artifact if interested.
7478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So there I was, confronted with the dilemma facing all poor people today -- how to reconcile technology made for cable-ready TVs with a TV which was decidedly cable-unfreindly. In this case, I wanted to hook my PS2 to a tube TV slightly older than God. (In all seriousness, a mid-90s model). Nothing in my huge hamper o' cords, axial cables and connectors fit the bill, so I put down a couple of greenbacks on this adapter. I'm no techno-geek, and I can't talk specs, but I can say that the device did precisely what it was supposed to do -- ran the PS2 through the TV with no difficulty, and thus ended my dilemma. If you are stuck in a similar pickle I can recommend this product. I cannot, however, recommend owning huge, 20 year-old televisions that weigh as much as refrigerators. They suck, and no adapter can fix that.
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VIII is, first and foremost, a love story. It takes a moment to get going but when it does (about halfway through) it turns out to be good. Final Fantasy VIII is about Squall, a young member who attends the Balamb Garden Academy and is about to undertake a field exam for an elite group called SeeD. When he finally gets in his first mission to help a resistance group lead by a young woman named Rinoa. The adventure eventually leads to an epic good versus evil battle as Squall and his allies realize a sorceress is plotting world domination. For the most part the story is good, but even now it's hard not to notice how it skimps on certain things. Squall is a well developed character, but Final Fantasy VIII does little to develop its other characters. You come to like Squall and understand his angst, but you'll hardly come to understand the other characters quite as well.
2240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This isn't a Nintendo made product, but it works every bit as well. Cheap and does what it is supposed to do, so no complaints here.
8241 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 CAME IN GREAT SHAPE AND PLAYS FINE, WOULD DIFFENETLY TELL A FRIEND ABOUT THIS, THIS IS MY FAVERITE GAME TO PLAY!!!
Let go of "A" whenever you boost.
1492 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Doom for PS1 is a great game. Almost every level from Ultimate Doom & Doom II is here, plus some new levels never before seen on the PC. This game is dark, scary as hell, and can really get in your head. The soundtrack is totally different from the PC, and creates a very eerie atmosphere that few games ever do. The controls are easy to learn, that's a good thing. However, the only reason why I gave this game 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the graphics. Yes, as you may have already read, the graphics are a bit sluggish, especially when compared to the PC version. In my opinion, the best version of Doom is the PC version, period. Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom are the best video games ever, in MY opinion.
-Levels are large, and give you room to explore
Even thought he storyline revolves around a comedic plumber the story really cannot get any better than this. You wouldn't imagine a game starring Mario to have character development and backround stories for each one, but it indeed does. Unlike most games, the storyline is also very memorable. Whether its frogfucious admitting to mallow that he isn't his father, or bowzer finally becoming pals with mario, it's all good. If you haven't played this game yet, you need to get it immediatly. It is very pricey though, so only get it for around 30 bucks or less...but if you have to pay around 40 it may be worth it. It will probably be a better idea to buy it instead of download it though, because you need to experience the entire game on the original console.
4831 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 didn't buy this on Amazon, but I have owned and played this game for years. It is truly the godfather of all FPS games. Compared to the newer games this looks like joke of a game. Nice thing about this is that practically any PC these days can push the game without any issues what so ever, easy to set up and play on a local server. LOVE IT!!!
I had thought about perhaps saving my money to buy the Playstation 2. (Nintendo's next-gen system is just way too far off.) But, I started looking at some of the games they had planned for launch. None of them look neat. Each one is either a sports game or an action game. None of them pulled me to drool over every screenshot and eagerly await more news, as I had for many Dreamcast games. Sony just pops out games left and right, and they're all mediocre at best. There are a few exceptions - I've always enjoyed Tomb Raider, kind of. But being a female, I was able to look beyond Lara Croft's impossible body, and I saw how much gameplay they lacked, and how much monotony they had....whoa, ok. Back to Dreamcast.

-THE INSTANT DEATH SPIKES!! I guess the programmers of the original Mega Man game got together with the Sonic team here because what both games have in common is the way their spikes kill the player even while they're flashing.
Mag-Sec
The icing on the cake are the awesome fully-animated sequences between the key parts of the game, which show some nostalgic moments of Megaman battling some well-known Robot Masters that might just spring tears on seasoned old veterans (myself included).

This game picks up after Gex: Enter the Gecko with series baddie Rez kidnapping Gex's partner, Agent Xtra. Gex then heads back to the Media Dimension to save Extra and stop Rez once again.
4227 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game back in 1998. I played it so much that my dad broke the CD along with Warcraft 2 telling me that I can't play any games from now on. So I recently bought Starcraft Battle Chest Secretly (my dad doesn't know that I have this game) again. This game is so good because the system requirements are so low that I can turn off the game without turning off the whole computer. My dad leaves on the PC the whole time so I have to leave it on all the time. If I turn off the whole computer, he might suspect that I have been playing a computer game. I always play when he goes to some place until I hear a keychain or a footstep. I probably disconnect off the game more than any other players on the planet. This is not about the game but I just wanted to share it with you (every game that I own, my dad doesn't know that I have). Now, I'm going to talk about the game. The requirements are no problem unless you haven't bought a new computer since 1998. The gameplay is great and the graphics and sounds are good. The best part of all is the Battle.net. You can play 7 vs 1 comp stomp when you are in a hurry and play 4 vs 4 experts only when you have nothing to do. It is very addictive to play with others online and it it keep you entertained for hours everyday. If you want wins, play lots of comp stomp but it will not raise your skill as much as in expert games. I assure you that this game will keep you entertained. This is one my favorite RTS of all time and I highly recommend this game just as much as I recommen Warcraft 2 and 3.
There is a good sized library of games for the Playstation - quite a few racing games, plus the Tomb Raider series, the Final Fantasy series, Abe, Spyro the Dragon, and more. The games for the Playstation tend to be for teenagers and adults.

6893 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 My older brother and I enjoyed the Bubsy series for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo growing up. Now that those systems were no longer creating any new titles in favor of the Nintendo 64 and Playstation, it was time to move on to the 64 bit world. When Bubsy 3D was launched in 1997, we were so excited to try it out, but little do we know that we were being tricked. It was a pixelated 3D mess. My brother got it for his 15th birthday and it was probaly the worst gift he receieved in time. After trying to figure out this crappy game by enduring the confusing camera rotations, boring music, crappy navigation, and Bubsy's annoying random comments (throughout the game); we just went back to playing the original Bubsy on Sega Genesis. I may have been the worst friend in the world because I gave Bubsy 3D to my best friend in exchange for Marvel Super Heroes game for Playstation. This game tarnished the reputation of the lovable, sarcastic Bobcat. Just stay away from this piece of s*** and go back to your Super NES and Sega titles because they were untouched timeless classics and a whole lot more fun than this 3D garbage.
-LOCKING ONTO THE OLDER GAMES GIVES THEM A NEW FRESH REPLAYABILITY. Stick it onto Sonic 2, and now you're traversing the Casino Nights, Hill Tops, and Wing Fortresses of old as Knuckles given the advantage of his new abilities. However, stick it onto Sonic 3 and you'll get the massive adventure that Sega wanted to release all along - in other words THE BIGGEST AND BEST SONIC GAME EVER CONCEIVED. Play as all three of the furballs going through both games and collecting 14(!) chaos emeralds to become... HYPER SONIC! On top of that, stick it onto Sonic 1 or any other Genesis game and you'll now have access to unlimited random Special Stages styled from Sonic 3.

Now the Nightmare!:
Resident Evil 2 introduces Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who would go on to star in future hit installments Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica (respectively speaking). Leon is a rookie cop in Raccoon City and meets up with Claire during an infestation of zombies and other monsters in the small town that is on the brink of destruction. Together, they must get out and survive while Claire is focusing on finding her brother, Chris Redfield. It's a simple plot, simple premise. The gameplay might feel stiff to those accustomed to the control scheme of games such as Resident Evil 4 and 5, but trust me: if you give it time, you will find it fun and rewarding after a short while.

9969 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Road Rash series basically reveals just how good a racing game could be, with the help of chains, baseball bats, crowbars, and others as weapons. You can choose your own type of vehicle, by purchasing them. You can also practically build your own motorcycle based on how much upgrades there are. An extremely fun game.
In the battle mode up to four can play. You get 3 balloons and the other player(s) try to pop them. The last one standing wins. Up to 4 can play battle mode.
7045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As i told you on my review for game and watch 4, i own this game. For my opinion this game should be the last game you buy in a while. There are about 10 new games in this game. You have to get a 1,000 points like the previous games. This time the gallery has more games to see than the 2 previous. In the classic games there are Judge, Lion, Spinball Sparky,Donkey kong 2,and Flagman. In flagman you don't have to get 1,000 points in it. Just read the booklet and see what it says about the game. But,even though this game is also the second best game like Warioland3. So if i was you i would buy this game as the next game to buy if you don't have it. BUY IT!!!!!!!!
I found FF V to be a pretty good FF, and if I were just reviewing it without FF VI, I would give it 4 stars. However, being that both of these FF's were released together for the price of one, I have to give it five stars. FF V has the Job System like in FF I and FF III (NES FF III which has yet to be released out of Japan). The difference between the Job System in FF I and FF V's Job System is that you can switch character classes at any time, and you learn new skills based on which class you are currently using by getting AP. The story is above average, and as said before, FF V is very challenging. Music is also up to par with other FF's, so what is the minor problem, you ask?
I give this game 10/10
Each level has lots of things to find. There are items to pick up, enemies to vanquish and secret passages to find. Some levels also have hidden blue prints and if you find them all you'll unlock hidden gadgets the two can use. As with many of the gadgets, though, they're not really anything special.
Solid...
-The music can be annoying/nauseating to some
this game is so creative. just take my advice and play this game! I couldn't resist this game to start playing more than 10 times. hahaha.....I got this game when they were still selling it at Toys R Us. So man Im glad I did not give this game away or I would have to spend the ridiculously high price of 100 bucks.. But this game is completely worth it and there are absolutely no flaws! Just plain fun and emotional :)
The storyline is fantastic, the character development is wonderful, and the gameplay itself is really good.
The game is, quite frankly, brilliant. It features the madcap run-and-gun mayhem of Metal Slug but with none of the punishing difficulty. The screen is filled with action and explosions from absolute beginning to absolute end. I finished it fairly quickly, and it is so far the only PS3 game in which I have unlocked all the trophies.
8570 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome!!!
5465 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The sights and music is spot on and I personally like the PlayStation version over the Sega Dreamcast one and its not because I only played the PS version. I SEEN both versions and would've been disappointed if I had the Sega version because the PS one has that gloom and grimey look that fits the plot of the game. Razael also looks like a Marvel comic character on the Sega version. All in all,this is an engaging game. Its like Megaman meets vampires.
768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oca rina of time brings back fond memories. my brother & I both beat the game. The graphics still hold up well
8970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game all the time at my cousins house in Canada. Never had my own copy of the game till i finally bought myself one on amazon. And i am so glad that i did.
998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GoldenEye became the steeple for how the Bond series was going to be and I'm glad that it was because for me, I could never get tired of this game because of it's awesome challenges, graphics, gameplay and of course the gore factor (very bloody game. Maybe a no for younger gamers, but for those of us older gamers, a definite).
I HATED this game, HATE HATE HATED it - briefly.
Small downside on the speed of your machine. Having the video card is okay but the 22KHZ 16-bit sound can be really jerky on a slower machine (Celeron 300A) with just a normal sound card. Which is a shame because the dynamic music really adds to the atmosphere.
9243 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just saw a great (& funny) description of this on youtube which also had a number of interesting comments. If you are thinking of getting this, that video helped me decide to get it. It's by SNESMan16, "Secret of Evermore SNES Man Review". There's also plenty of info elsewhere by gamers discussing it online. Some old games are still going strong.
2275 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great! It is very challenging though. The graphics aren't great but they work for this game. Die Hard Trilogy is better than the sequel because it is more fun to play through. It will take you a long while though. The game follows with the movies pretty good. All the modes on the game are fun but the driving mode is the hardest. You will definitely love this game. Yippee Ki Yay!
I've got the following praise for this game: This is better than the few episodes of the show that I've actually seen. This game, while not consistently as good as, does have moments where it is at the level of Half-Life and Jedi Knight in terms of being a stellar example of just what a first-person shooter can be. If only more FPS's had this level of voice acting, AI, story depth, and animation, we'd all be happier gamers, even if we're not Trekkies. There's some great moments of atmosphere here along with some really choice rounds of top-quality blasting to be had, and isn't that what it's all about? Somebody obviously understood this and the game seems to have a great balance between assets and problems-- you're usually not so flush with firepower that you can lay waste to the landscape at will, nor are you so dry that you're constantly hurting for health or ..., and the enemies coming at you are proportional.
Ultimately, Riven is a worthy sequel to Myst and follows its predecessor closely. If you like Myst, you'll probably love Riven. If not, Riven probably doesn't offer anything new to change your mind. Recommended.
It's far too easy, being aimed toward a younger audience, but that never put me off. I would reccomend this game to anyone who enjoys the Sim series.
Now let's talk about the camera. Throughout most of the game, I found my self fighting IT more than I fought Bowser. It's simply impossible to judge distances based on where the camera is facing at any given time. Pressing the C buttons will move it around, but you have to keep perfectly still in order to avoid suddenly gong sideways or backwards. If you are in a stage where there is a time limit or a complicated jump, this can be particularly fatal.
4034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was in about sixth grade when this came out, or at least when my dad bought it. I still love it, and it's very realistic, yet also fun to play as well! It's unbelievably fun. Games today focus too much on realistic graphics, rather than good story lines, or good gameplay. I hope to be a video game designer one day, and I wanna make games that are more like the older ones, such as this. Older video games give me a more comforting feeling than these games today that have stories that are more like real life than being fun. Half-Life (All three of them) will always be among my favorite video games ever, and even if you run out of ammo and have to start the whole game over again, so what?! It's worth it! It's worth every single penny!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that I've been loyal to Nintendo for many years, owning everything from the original Nintendo, to Super Nintendo, to Color Gameboy, to Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Pocket. I remember, in the days of Super Nintendo, a new system coming out. Sega Genesis, I believe. And I spat on it, fearing the competition Sonic the Hedgehog would give to my friends Mario and Luigi.
Game is Uneccesasseraly hard
-Cape power-up
I think the biggest reason Crash Bandicoot isn't remembered today the same way Mario and Sonic's debut games are is because Crash is basically just a blend of Mario and Sonic, but featured in a 3D world. Think about it. Crash collects berries throughout the game (Mario collects coins, Sonic collects rings). Crash has a spin attack (Mario and Sonic already had spin attacks YEARS before Crash's existence). Sony just didn't have enough creative ideas to come up with something entirely different, and that's why most gamers tend to ignore Crash Bandicoot. When you already have the best (Mario and Sonic) you don't need imitations.
Also, what I find interesting is that the first person you encounter in Leon's quest, Marvin, he was supposed to come with you in the scrapped version instead of turning into a zombie.
The game begins on the Dune Sea where you'll play as Luke Skywalker. You begin the game with a simple blaster and can power it up through the level. The first power up gives you flame. Afterwards you can power the blaster up to Heat Seekers, Rapid Ion and Plasma. You can't carry all five blasters at the same time however. They stack on one another. There are fifteen levels in Super Star Wars and as the game progresses so will the gameplay. Eventually Luke will be able to use a lightsaber and eventually you'll get to use Han and Chewbacca.
601 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was never a really big fan of sci-fi, and Star Wars just wasn't my thing. I couldn't really care less about those darned rebels. Obviously, my expectations for Rogue Squadron that summer day were not very high.

Personaly this game is My favorite!
While the first game focused on New Orleans, the second takes place in Germany as Gabriel is called upon his first true role as a Shattenger (Shadow Hunter) to deal with a werewolf that has been mauling people on the edges of town. You take up the role of Gabriel again as he explores the streets of Germany, and his assistant Grace who follows after him and tries to track him down.
NiGHTS is an excellent "game" and needs to be in everyone's collection. Though a little rare, it's worth every penny, I advise buying the 3D Control Pad, it makes the entire experience all the more fun. The game has plenty of re-play value. It's all based on getting better scores, but you'll never get bored. Whenever I feel like not getting into a game that's heavy on game-play, I pull out NiGHTS, and have the time of my life. Final Review: *10/10*
castle will become bigger and bigger, and new shops can even be added depending
Like the Sony Playstation, the Dreamcast will play audio CDs. Unlike the Playstation 2, it will not play DVDs, however. Also, while the Playstation 2 can play all Playstation games (since both are CD based) the Sega Dreamcast cannot play older Sega games.

1242 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After passing the second and then the first, I was attempted to do this one. The graphics are much better than the previous two, but the story got very boring. The adventures, too, became very uninteresting. Regarding saving and hidden place this one is by far the simplest.
You also get to blow uo raptors and a T-rex by the way. Despite being a solid title, i beta the game long ago and have since went on to other 'pursuits' like Zelda. I'm not gonna compare the two, mind you, but let's say that while TL3 is a really good game and somewhat long- it's not gonna make a classic or give Mario or Sonic a run for their money.
What else? As it is not new, it runs perfectly without 3DFX, and a Pentium 200 PC is more than enough. A fast CD Rom is personally recommended because it used to freeze up for a couple of seconds occasionally.
This is the first FF to have "Limits". Basically, this lets use a unique, and usually strong, move when you character takes enough damage, so it's kind of like being in a rage. And as you use Limits more and more, you can get more and more different attacks you can use when you reach your Limit Break (when you can use a Limit).
The music is one of the greatest achievements of this game, with some DKC tunes making an 8-bit appearance, and plenty of new ones that you'll find yourself humming when you're not playing the game. The level designs are certainly challenging, and will take skill to make it through.
- Enemies are way too easy to shrug off.
7078 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i was looking for donkey kong country but they still play this
8854 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had this game for a long time. It has 7 worlds. Every world you go the harder the game gets. In the last world in the last stage you have to get these special people and eat them to get a special ability. It will be tricky because there are two doors in each place so if i was you i would write it somewhere. Then after the last football you face king deedee. After you beat him and if you had gotten the last football an evil spirt comes out of king deedee. First he is a knight, then he becomes a eye. You will get a sword with all the footballs combined so you could beat him. I did not know that until a few years ago. But this game rocks!
Stupid me and my big wrong mind!

HE never had a pillar and he was never in the first one.
Some of the voice acting is weak, but it's not the worst out there. The story will keep you interested, as will the battles with the enemy dinosaurs. An added plus is the decisions you must make at key points in the story, but even this (and the different costumes) isn't enough to give the game the replay value it needs to make it a 5-star game.
The DC has an interesting game library. Neither the best (PS2), nor the worst.
These days this game is sorely dated and this game should be remade using GCN technlogy. I do not believe that they should make it realistic. Idealy I'd like to see them use toon shading in this remake idea to replace the 3D monstosities which were featured in the game originally. The original charcter models were inconsistant and largely overly blocky. However the battle scenes and major FMVs offered a whole lot of anime potential. This game needs to be toon shaded!
The enemies well reflect the climate and setting of the game. They are less tropical and swamp-like animals and more temperate types of forest and river animals. The Kremlings make up most of the resistance though and this time are genetically altered by Roolenstein. The bosses are simply grotesque and definitely the oddest in the series. Sometimes you have a very hard time figuring out how to defeat them because they are such odd creatures. The most iconic boss battle is without doubt when you fight Bleak, a sinister snowman who lunges ice and snow at you from varying distances.
Granted, this game - which is part of a series of loosely connected games based on vampire myths - does not have the best or most consistent story of any game; not even any action game. The basic progression of events will not surprise you or bring you to tears. What will bring you to tears is the happiness you take away from you when you beat a boss, find something new, or complete the game. Konami mastered the art of 2D gaming in Castlevania: SOTN, and with the age of all-3D gaming (even in Konami's planned SOTN sequel) it is safe to say SOTN will remain the best game of its kind. No gamer is complete without it.
1. Great level design - The levels are bright and colorful no two stages look the same everything is different in every portion of the stage.
-some minor slowdown in graphicaly heavy situations
Allow me to interlude a moment,
It is a must have it you still own a N64.
2715 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had just started playing rpg's when I picked this one up, it was probably my third or fourth rpg that I played. I absolutely fell in love with this game the moment it started. I never played the orignal or second on the Sega CD.
9174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The cartridge was in remarkable condition, nearly in like-new condition, and the shipping was relatively quick. As I did not buy through Nintendo directly and instead used a third party, I can not guarantee a similar product or experience. However the seller, rock_30_games, is in a good position for repeat business from me in the future.
Bubsy 3D is not one of the worst games ever made. It is simply one of the most unfortunate, a rushed product shoved to the front lines to catch as much residual success off of its competitors as it could. To understand that, you had to have been there in 1996, when platformers were anybody's game. When Mario grew up he changed all that, and invited us along for his joyous adventure, from which we never looked back.

Twisted Metal 2: Most fans will consider this to be the best twisted metal of all the final release with single track after this one the game changes its physics dramatically...
It's not as story-scripted as Half-Life (but then, it doesn't have the awful Xen world either), and many people prefer the realistic weapons of Quake to the unusual ones of Unreal. i like the built-in bots in multiplayer (i think this was the first game to ship with them), but i'm told the net play is really slow
Super fun for the whole family, will keep your kids busy and entertained for hours and hours. TOTALLY replayable, can last for years if you love Crash.
Overall, all I can say is I have not had that much of a problem with it and it has kept working for well over 1 year now. Of course, like any electronic device, experiences will vary from person to person. But for the price, you can't beat it.
Why buy a DreamCast so late in the game? Because although it's over a year old, if you judge a game console based on both it's technology and it's game library, the DreamCast is the best console on the market.
6834 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 when i was a kid, i thought this was fun, but i played it lately, this is so boring and dull
I must admit that when I first read about Planescape: Torment and read the box, I thought it would be too "dark" and bizarre for me. Then I thought these other people awarding 5 stars can't all be wrong, so thank goodness I changed my mind. Even so, it was several hours before I "got it". Apparently, due to the reason stated above, while not ruling out the possibility, the guys at Black Isle are in no particular hurry to get started on a sequel. I hope they recover soon and get started, because I'm already waiting.
The game was entertaining both for me and for my 11 year old son. We both found the options varied and fun. My son especially enjoyed when you accidentially cranked a roller-coaster's speed up too high - the practice run would set the cars careening off the track, warning you to decrease the speed a bit!
On this game you'll find that the characters hyper combos are much more powerful than they are on MVC2. However, since this was the first of these type of fighter games, the characters have less moves to execute. The thing that really separates this game from all of the others is the Gems. There are 6 Gems that you may use during battle and different ones have different effects on certain characters. For example when Juggernaut uses the space gem, he turns silver and gains super armor. When Psylocke uses the Power gems she creates 3 copies of herself so then it's like fighting 3 of them at once. The final boss on this game is Thanos. He's better than the boss on the other Marvel titles because he's actually a challenge. He automatically starts the match with all 6 gems and he also has 6 different hyper combos he can do with each gem. Also this game actually has endings for the characters and the music is superior to all of the other titles except for Marvel vs. Street Fighter.
Overall the dreamcast stinks. If your looking for a system with fair graphics,lots of games,good games,easy control i'd buy the playstation.
7894 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great old game
9938 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First time I've played this game. It was great i still haven't finished it yet and i plan on getting on it sooner or later but first impression is that its great.
The story is emotional and excellently put. I won't bother telling you of what it is, since you can just as easily read about it, but its heart-wrenching and perfect. You literally feel for the characters. Yet there isn't just deep emotions and sadness. I assure you that you will get a darn good laugh as well. Whether from Viktor and Flik busting each other (as they like to do during the entire game), or from your own enemies (yes, they know how to make you laugh), you won't just be upset, you'll also laugh your head off (but be sure to pick it back up to continue playing the game). This game is not a drama-filled creation, nor a light-hearted child's play. It runs the way a person's life would run -- There's a war, and you can expect sadness, cruelty, drama, even stupidity... But don't forget the laughs, the romance (failed most of the time), and the fun.

1637 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil is a survival horror video game created by Capcom. It was released in Japan, North America, and Europe in 1996.
4-Carnival Nights 82%
the graphics are very good.
603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When the N64 system first kicked off, one of its first titles was "Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire". "Shadows..." was a very entertaining version of novel it was based on. It had challenging, yet rewarding, levels and overall solid gameplay. However, it had two marks against it. The first was that graphics had not fully realized the potential of the N64 and resembled SuperNES games on certain boards. The second is that, except for the sheer enjoyment of the playing the game again, "Shadows..." lacks any real replay value. The introduction of "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" (based on a series of very successful novels) to the N64 environment corrected these problems and set a whole new standard for action/adventure games on ANY platform.
And there is just so much else that I cannot write it all. But needless to say, if you own a DC or PS2 this is a good purchase at any price. Get it, buy it, steal it, love it. Come be a zombie killer with the rest of us.
-Metroid Fusion (GBA)
Tekken 2 takes place 2 years after the events of the first Tekken. The plot isn't very well developed and isn't really involving, but everything else more than makes up for it. The graphics (for the time) were amazing and the animations were also nicely done. The roster includes 24 characters who are all unique and feel very well balanced. The game is very accessible and almost anyone can pick up this game and get a pretty decent grasp on it. The controls are simple and intuitive, and I always believed that this control scheme (each button controls a limb-ex. left punch, right punch) is one of the best for fighting games.
2184 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For Beetle Adventure Racing, they decided to give a 1st time player only 2 tracks to play to start with!! Otherwise, to get more tracks you have to to go to Championship Race, and get the other tracks. I look at these cheat things on the Internet, and a lot of them don't mention that you can unlock tracks, so I wanted to tell people that yes you can unlock tracks - (6 racing tracks altogether) 4 tracks plus there are these multiplayer tracks to unlock. There are more multiplayer tracks, but these are simpler. They aren't real racing tracks like the other 6. Think of them like battle games such as the ones on Mario Kart 64.
1863 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really, really wanted to like this game, I loved the cover, and I loved the characters, and the personality of the protagonist, but the controls are not very good at all. When you push the analog stick back, the character just turns around and moves all over the place, and jumping on platforms is painful to say the least. I would have liked this game if the controls were not so finicky, but it did extremely poorly in that department. If the controls were bearable, I would have actually enjoyed the game.
CONS:
7743 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 love it
In summary, just a solid, solid, completely fun game. You can't possibly go wrong by picking up a copy.
My four year old cousin can pick this up and play it easily thanks to the intuitive design. The music is fun. The controls are smooth. And the game is just simply fun.
Graphics: 8/10
The music and the graphics are excellent. Again, Rareware's production make the 16-bit look improved, and the soundtrack is just as great as the first.
However, the graphics department was far less than impressive. The graphics were both ugly and used horribly. The first game to get the fully 3-D strategy deal right was Myth: The Fallen Lords for the PC, where it, just like this game, has 3-D terrain with sprites. However, on that game, when you moved around the sprites, they kept the swords on the same hand. That's right! While the camera spins around on this game, the character will go from being right-handed to left-handed! I wouldn't complain this much if its graphics worked like Final Fantasy Tactics', but this game plays like it has wonderful graphics, while the graphics are really just mediocre.
The game pins can be cleaned with something around the house and some isopropyl alcohol but the SNES itself needs this.
5678 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks of final fantasy product give a series of game that kid enjoy for hours in a different kind of word
5347 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am a Tetris fan and playing on the playstation is no exception. I bought it used, but still a favorite of mine.
420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Breath of Fire III's old-school graphics capture the feel of old RPGs, and how good they were, playing on NES and Super NES, back in the old days. Now I still play SNES, playing such good games as Super Godzilla, Breath of Fire I, and the Final Fantasy series. The storyline goes as follows--Ryu is a survivor of an ancient race of dragons, the Brood, which nearly destroyed the world. However, he is a good dragon. He allies himself with Yraall Region thieves, Rei and fellow dragon Teepo, who at the time doesn't know he's a dragon. He aligns himself with the young Princess of Wyndia, Princess Nina, and the daughter of a smart scientist, Momo, a mutated vegetable named Peco who has a lot of significance at the end of the game, and a Guardian of Urkan Tapa who's race once fought and defeated the dragons in a war, Garr. Together they quest to find Ryu's origin and other members of his race, and to find out if Ryu is evil or not. With beautiful music, surroundings, and a great storyline, this is one of the best RPGs of all--with many mini-games abound and a fantastic battle system. Definitely get this if you're a fan of Capcom RPGs.
8485 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Love this game so many modes the replay factor and the fact that this game is challenging and has excellent music probably the best I've ever heard my favorite is rainbow road.
done like a spy drama
3rd island - The most frustrating. I spent half an hour to beat Generator Room with Perfect and another half an hour with Toxic Waste. The hardest level here is Slippery Climb.
The game lets you play as four X-Men (Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Cyclops) and has five backup characters (Archangel, Storm, Rouge, Iceman and Jean Grey) that you can't play as, but you can call upon if you need help. The game brilliantly features the X-Men's different powers.
3793 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't like platform games. I thought id absolutely hate this ... game...but its really cool. The frame rate is absolutel amazing with NO NOT A BIT of pop up. The graphics are incredible as well. Sonic and his fully 3d environments look great. This game is really cool and is probably like nothing youve played. Sonic does huuuuuuuge cool jumps and runs real fast, and the frame rate and grphics keep up with him. The sound is also really good, the effects and music fit this game perfectly.
- Fatal Fury: Mark of Wolves
Another thing that some may complain about is that the game is short. You can beat the game in a little less than a half hour. But I don't care about how long a game is. It just needs to fit with its price...and boy, do you have a chance of buying a used copy for a few bucks.
This game is the reason to buy a dreamcast, and it is still worth it to buy this game and then go find someone selling a dreamcast so you can buy and play it. Have fun!
4722 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An oldie but a goodie. My friend asked me to purchase this game for him and send it to him. From what I can gather the game he so enjoyed a while back he is enjoying again. So he is playing it every chance he gets whether it be in the middle of the night or during the day.
For those unfamiliar with it, Panzer general is a turn-based WW2 strategy game that allows you to fight out the major (and hypothetical) campaigns of the second world war at the roughly operational level, with players moving around units of tanks, infantry, aircraft, artillery, etc. While historical accuracy is not paramount as in other more grognard-oriented titles, it does boast a wealth of historical vehicles, aircraft and troop types for the player to command. While the graphics and sound may be dated, the gameplay at the heart of PG is still rock solid and engrossing.
Pros: *Magnificent 3D graphics from Black Isle studios, creators of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale *Not-your-everyday charecters, such as a floating skull, a walking-and-talking suit of armor, and a woman with a tail(a.k.a. tiefling) *Game play based on D%D 3rd Edition Rules *Powerful enemies such as Wererats,Wyverns,Zombies,Ghouls,and Street Slugs
Almost a decade later and I still have my appreciation for this title.
5402 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's been yeats since i played this so i had to buy it an im glad i did
384 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Forsaken 64 is one of those games that you never heard of and play it anyways and you find it to be an awesome game. The single-player is intense and the multiplayer is crazier than that. The game itself has six-degrees of freedom so you can shoot upside-down, sideways, etc. The single-player has tons of missions and you will not get through it in one setting. I never actually figured out how to save the game, but I will figure it out eventually. The multiplayer you can either play with bots or with your friends. The game supports 4-player multiplayer, even thought sadly I've only played it with only one other person. The multiplayer game is like a deadlier version of hide and seek because the maps are so big. One thing I like about playing it with bots is being able to play it splitscreen so it's like there are 3 other people in the room with you. Overall, the game is great and is a definite buy for every N64 fan!
the game, though I never beat it. I'm trying to decide whether to buy an cart or just download the game on the WII
9297 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I just finished MP, and it only took me a day and a half. Judging from other comments on Amazon I'm not the only person to have finished the game in such a short time. The graphics are a real mix. The cool particle engine shines as a stunning example of what we can look forward to in the next generation of game engines, but the scenery and background art looks brown and dull throughout the entire game - think Quake2 without the aliens and you're not far off.
- Mature and Dark foreboding story based on Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, with lots of twists and turns
2) Units in all races are different and fun. Each race has cool strategies that are different than the others.
III - the game that taught the japanese everything they know about RPGs. Turn-based party combat. A deep and complicated world. If you enjoy playing Nethack, you'll love U3.
That my friends is exactly how this game was meant to be played. Your not supposed to know what's going on. Your supposed to have it slowly revealed to you as you play the game. It was first love as soon as I put the game in the original ps1 and was greated by an amazing opening screen with an unbelievable and memorable tune. I will never forget it. Even with out pressing start I was already pumped up to play the game.
Konami must not understand that mostly boys play video games. I shouldn't have to say it, but I think it's obvious that the creators of Maria are disappointed in themselves for creating such a good-looking woman, because one look at Maria distracts boys everywhere. They shouldn't have made her look so pretty. Because of this, only the strongest male gamers will be able to complete this Castlevania adventure. Had she been less attractive, guys would be able to better concentrate on the game.
A GBC also plays GameBoy games in color,like Tetris,Dr. Mario,or pokemon Red and Blue. The GBC is a good game system,so make sure you can get one for like $20.00 now!!!!
1885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Playstation Spyro the Dragon trilogy is the best game series out there, especially for younger gamers, and people that just like to play easy games to pass time (like me). This game started it all with Spyro, and its still one of the best video games ever made in my opinion. If you have never played a video game, or just want a little something different to play, this is a nice and easy one for you.
4600 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a Wipeout fans dream. It incorporates the slick design that made Wipeout XL so great, but further adds to the formula. Superb analog control makes the ships more responsive than ever, and the idea of using your shield reserve as turbo is a welcome game mechanic, adding more depth and variety to your strategies. The soundtrack is awesome(Dj Sasha did original songs for this game, plus all the usual suspects).. and the challenge level is fairly high, especially on Phantom class races. While this may turn off newcomers, anyone familiar with the series should feel right at home. This is the best in the series, and is a better game than Wipeout:Fusion in every aspect but graphics.
The graphics were amazing at the time, but already seem pretty dated. The sound as well. The music that was written for the game is some of Uematso's best, but the sound capabilities of the SNES are just too dated. If they improved anything, I wish they would have improved sound quality a bit. Also, the CG scenes they added were disappointing to me. They weren't that badly done, but I thought that they would be peppered throughout the game at the appropriate spots, which they weren't. They were only at the beginning and end, which I find disappointing. I guess they wanted the actual experience of playing the game to be identical to how it was on the SNES. I wouldn't have minded some small improvements, personally. Overall, they did a good job.
I am not going into the music seeing as I already have. I'll just say the whole soundtrack is worth downloading from ITunes. Excellent! Perfect! 10/10
To complete this circle, Squaresoft gave this game a storyline of true epic preportions. While I did tear several times in earlier Final Fantasy titles, I never really CRIED, but when the big plot twist at the end of CD 1 occurs, I still ball my eyes out. Never before has emotion and narrative been combined so well into one epic. When done with the game (and watching the stunning ending that's beyond description), I felt like I just finished a novel, one in which was beyond the puny use of words could elaborate. I was in awe, and I think anyone who pays attention to this game would be too.
Another unique feature of Starcraft is the totally different sides. It absolutely amazes me that a single game can have such diverse armies and yet still manage to be so well balanced. There isn't a single unit in the game that can't be neutralised by another unit - which is no mean feat, considering how powerful they are.
The game is about when Tommy loses his puzzle pieces, so with the help of his friends, he has to go get them back. This game has 12 missions that ranges from getting a cereal box in a store to getting your grandpa's teeth from a goose. They are really funny, especially in Grandpa's Teeth when Chuckies yells Hellllllllllllllllp! in a Texan accent.
OVERALL VERDICT: ** 2/5
This is an epic love story and feel Squall and Rinoa belong together. The music and areas and sidequests are so awesome. I love the different chocobo forests and riding the chocobos. I love the whole city of Esthar and there's just so many things in this game. I love how on the world map itself, you can draw magic from draw points and you can see these cool trains going around and disappearing into a tunnel. The world map itself is a sight to behold, let alone the rest of the game. I love the airship you get to control and all the different areas you go to. Oh and it's so awesome with the summons in this game. All the summons, each have their own abilities that they can learn which is really an awesome addition to this game. Oh and Odin is my favorite summon and you can't summon Odin but when you do see Odin come into battle, it's so awesome because you actually hear his horse. It's so creative. The sidequests and mini-games are so fun. An epic storyline and seeing all the characters develop throughout the game. Of course the music is some of the best in the whole series. This is what Final Fantasy is all about. Just so many amazing things. It's so underrated. A MUST BUY for Final Fantasy fans and RPG fans!!

4522 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I was a big fan of Parappa the Rapper and I was seriously disappointed with this sequel. It's bad enough that you can beat it in 30 minutes, but what's worse is that you wouldn't want to! The music is just bad and that is inexcusable for a music game. Where are all the catchy tunes? I can't remember one line from this game, whereas I have all of Parappa the Rapper's songs memorized. It's missing those great lyrics found in Parappa like my favorite: "Sunny in my life, she's like a dice, I can't tell which way to turn 'till I spice!" Skip UmJammer and get Parappa.
383 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mega Man Legends is a great new series for mega man. The story takes him to an island searching for energy crystals on his dig adventures. Game play is fun and easy to learn. The game has plenty of secret goodies for you too discovery adding hours of replay value. easy and fun to play but not easy enough that you'll only spend oh...one week or so one it. Loads of fun a most have for hardcore mega man and new mega man fans of all ages!!!

2491 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 What can I say? Smash Bros. is just an awesome game. This is the only game you can get where all of your favorite Nintendo characters come together on one screen and battle it out. I recommend calling over 3 more of your buddies and playing it because this game is nuts when 4 players go head to head.
The ending is one of the funniest video game endings ever. As you see Pitfall Harry Jr. find his dad, the game reveals that Pitfall Harry himself is the exact same as how he was in the original Atari 2600 game! Then he says "What took you so long?".
The definition of insanity
The ferrari make the best engine sound of them all.
The camera is top down, giving you a great view of everything, most importantly enemies. When you hit the edge of the screen, the games shifts over to the next area. It sounds obnoxious but works perfectly. This was one of the first games that you could essentially go wherever you wanted to and explore at your own pace.
The Water Temple was the biggest pain for me because I tend to rush into things and wouldn't do things right as far as the puzzles went. I loved the Forest Temple as a kid. The weapons are easy to use and play a role in a fair share of what you do. The boomerang has a few uses such as getting items that are out of reach, hitting switches, and killing enemies. The ones I loved were bombs except when I got too close to them. lol
Perhaps you want to become a warmongering civilization and take over the rest of the world and put Napoleon and Ghengis Khan to shame. Or you want to be a peaceful civilization and make Ghandi look power hungry in comparison. The fun of this game is you really can take it in any path you want and build your civilizations as you see fit.
Pac-Man is that timeless classic we all know and love. Eat the dots, avoid ghosts, you know....all good stuff. Considering Pac-Man 2's price right now for a used copy, you could just buy this game right now just for the classic Pac-Man alone.

I'll admit, I have a soft spot for Final Fantasy VIII, since it happened to be the first one of the series I've picked up. Since then I've played a multitude of RPGs, each with their own merits and flaws. But when all is said and done, the simplicity and familiarity of FFVIII gets me every time. If you enjoy beautiful cutscenes, well-characterized party members and expansive world maps, pick this one up.
5478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome storyline scereney also very expensive game for a just a old sony playation game and tons of levels and great graphics i stil am 3/4 completed with the game the action intensity could be a little bit better though
~Multiplayer~ There are 30 new Multiplayer challenges! Plus the addition of simulants (computer controlled enemies) and 16 new Multiplayer levels! Along with six Multiplayer settings.
DKC2 is very similar to the first one, with the exception of longer levils, more enemies, more secrets, and tougher bosses. The challenge is definitely worth it, since it will take even the most avid gamer (which I am not) a good length of time to complete it.
5181 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 It's technically competent, and indeed 'competent' is a good word. It's just very, very uninspiring, and after a seemingly endless and tortuous wait (the release was held back for three years, during which time many of the creators left the company), it's a disappointment. Not a huge one, as people were beginning to suspect that it might not be very good. Whilst 'Half-Life' had the advantage of suddenly appearing from nowhere, Daikatana's gestation was extremely public, despite the 'it'll be ready when it's ready' attitude. What's it like, though? Dull. That's what. Whilst by no means as lacklustre as 'Blood 2', it's infected with an air of carelessness. The graphics and sound are functional, the gameplay is no more advanced or entertaining than 'Quake 2', the character AI and voice acting are both simplistic and irritating (your sidekicks are infuriatingly stupid, and their death instantly loses you the game) and, crucially, both 'Half-Life' and 'Soldier of Fortune' are much, much better, and cheaper.
super cool
9768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Both a technical and narrative wonder of its day, this game easily set, and in a way continues to set, the standard in modern-day gaming.
The artificial intelligence with the badguys aren't all that challenging, but when there's a whole crowd of them, watch out!
Cons:
The downsides? As I have said, it's not pretty. The whole 'character generation' system is almost completely pointless, and, as you play, you realise that firepower is infinitely more important than cunning. And the FMV sequences are simply terrible - the ending sequence, in particular, is totally out-of-place. Most abstract of all, the down-beat, grim tone gets to you after a while, but that's not really a fault of the game. Having your guns break over time seems a bit excessively realistic, too (alhough a patch fixes this), and the last quarter or so seems rushed. These are quibbles, though.
8352 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 perfect
Final Note:
8109 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Star Trek: Elite Force is an excellent Star Trek Adventure. It puts you in the role of a member of the crew who's job is a leader of a sort of S.W.A.T. team. The game starts out with a simulation aboard a Borg ship. The graphics are very nicely done in this sequence and continue to be so throughout the entire game. You then get a chance to walk around Voyager on your way to a job duty. It looks and sounds just like the television show. It is awesome. The individual missions are well written and are very exciting. You will get to protect voyager from intruders as well as protecting other team members on away missions. Elite Force also features multiplayer options, like Unreal Tournament and Quake III. The levels are nicely drawn and they seem to run even faster than the actual game. I am running the game on a Celeron 400 with 64 megs of RAM and a Voodoo 4 with 32 megs. It is quite choppy at times, especially if there are a lot of enemies in the room at the same time. I am not sure if it is my machine to blame or if a patch is needed. Despite those flaws, this is one of the best Star Trek games ever. It has been a long time coming. Play long and prosper!
1832 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Crash Bandicoot's my favorite video game character and all his work is genius. I'm looking forward to his latest video game installment, Crash Tag Team Racing. The game's graphics are good, the gameplay itself sounds amuzing, and the trailer (on GameSpot) prove how visually stunning it's going to be too. But, Crash's humble beginning is not the same as Mario and Sonic's were. It was much better, more creative, and bigger.
Rating: 4.5 stars
4370 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first played this game, it was frustrating, but in a fun way: HOW CAN I DEFEAT THEM WHAT WILL THEY DO NEXT, kind of like a mind game or something. After u get the hang of it, its all fun! If MISSION OBJECTIVES arnt ur thing, then they have COSTOM GAME section, so u only need to destroy all the buildings. great game a mustHAVE for u "BIRDS EYE VIEW" kind of players.
The whole point of the game is to create a cool theme park and have so many guests in the park and a certain park rating by year 2, 3, or 4. I love building roller coasters on this game, although it can be tough (most coasters I build get an intensity rating of ultra-extreme and nobody rides it). But lets not forget merry go rounds, food stands, bathrooms--all the small things.
8577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product! Brings back great memories.
9113 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 DISCLAIMER- If you saw the movie and you haven't played the game, you have been wrongfully informed of the Max Payne world! The movie was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, and did not do the game ONE BIT OF JUSTICE. Yeah, there was slow motion, drugs, shotguns and guys in SWAT gear, but that's pretty much it... And as much as I love Mila Kunis, she and the rest of the cast (Sorry MarkyMark) were terrible representations of what is Max's world. The game series (ESPECIALLY #2) is one of the greatest I have ever played, filled with extremely dark comedy that make you laugh out loud, amazing action, suspenseful storylines, and all out Badassery.
This game has meant so much to me and got me and my brother (he may as well be) through some very rough times. Add And for that I will always be thankful. One of the best games out there, without a doubt!
There were also ports on the PC and Dreamcast with slightly better graphics, higher frame rate and an art gallery. There was even a port on the Game com. It was a s***ty 2D black and white handheld console by Tiger. That port is just pathetic; Im not even going to discuss it. The best port however is the Nintendo 64 version. The sound on the Nintendo 64 version is better than the PlayStations version, it has updated graphics, new costumes, a setting to adjust the violence and blood color, a more responsive aiming control scheme, new files, cheat codes to give you infinite health and ammo and the most interesting feature of all is a randomizer to place items differently during each playthrough so it definitely has more variety. The only thing its missing is the Extreme Battle mini game. But this port is equally as good as the PlayStations version.

661 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't go for adventure games, personally. Ninety percent of the time, I prefer shooters. But this one...man, it's so weird, so unique, and so GENIUS through and through, how can you not love it?
I love the game, I've gotten alot of enjoyment and literal "mileage" out of it! I also recommend the Cleopatra add- on. If you get this, get that one too! ;-)
The pros,
7088 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game itself is amazing and I am totallly in love with it. I ordered it off a seller used for "Like New", and it was exactly that. However, buyer's beware. You NEED this (http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-64-Controller-Pak-Pc/dp/B00004S9A7/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1436592651&sr=8-2&keywords=nintendo+64+save+pack) to get the game to actually run. I can't play the game, since I can't save any settings or game data, since I did not buy this adapter for this game.

Wrestlemania wasn't meant to be a stand out game. I think it was meant to be the beginning of something else because after this came WWF Royal Rumble and WWF Raw which some of us plated to death.

Hey, wait a minute! All those deer hunting games were in the top 10 too.
This game is a heavy hitter. There's no doubt about that, but I liked the final fantasies better. They just have a way of grabbing you by the heart strings that Suikoden Rarely achives. It's still one of the most awesome Rpg's out there, and I do reccommend it to anyone who's already completed Chrono Cross or Final fantasy IX. With a little more tweaking, Suikoden III will be able to hang with those big RPG bad boyz.
814 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's ocarina of time. I just wanted to get it for my fiancee for christmas because she loves the game.
1774 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This squeal to the original Crash Bandicoot game lives up to its name. With great gameplay, levels, and new characters, you'll be setting in front of the TV for a while.
Above all, my absolute favorites are Caesar III and Pharaoh (and soon to add Cleopatra Expansion pack).
3170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the greatest game of all time (aside from Super Mario Bros. DX). The day I bought this game, I played for 6 hours straight. Eventually my mom had to peel me from the TV.
In short, if you've played Myst (or even its sequels after Riven), give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed.
2319 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sonic Heroes is a pretty good game. The levels are super long, and some of the bosses will get you pissed out of your mind. But after it's all done, the feeling of satisfaction is indescribable. It's really good to finally be playing as Knuckles and not have to go hunting. The Chaotix are super cool too. And for the record, HIS NAME IS ROBOTNIK!!!!!!!!!! What's with calling him Eggman?!!
Sure, it's built on the same great engine that Baldur's Gate was. Same third person view, with the great graphics and sounds that BG is famous for. However, the developers of Planescape definitely knew what they were doing when they enhanced the system. They addressed many complaints gamers had with BG, and took it to another level.
3. Predictability on Easy level. OK. I don't enjoy pain much so I tend to avoid switching levels on PC games, but I have noticed that the Empire never attempts to build a Death Star on Easy level. It DOES drain resources, and maybe when I play as the Rebels I don't give the AI Empire time to gather raw materials for a battle station, but c'mon...to never try?
The replay value of the game is heightened by the ability to complete one character's quest, save the results, and use them on the other's. What one does in one game directly affects what happens in the other. Decisions such as who should take the submachine gun, for example, are of great importance in the game, as are such things as opening doors or killing certain major enemies. Getting into the underground lab towards the end of the game is quite a chilling moment, too. Notwithstanding the fight that takes place on the way down, this deserted research lab is enough to put the wind up any a dedicated viewer of horror films. A contrast, as it were, to the godawful second film adaptation.
Like the sound, there is a setup program for the controls.
1992 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Fox on the SNES... Not the best space shooter. Star Fox on the Nintendo 64? 2ND BEST GAME ON THAT SYSTEM (The first is Ocarina of Time)! Every level was packed with thrilling action! On the first level I enjoyed an easy ride along Corneria, gliding across the lakes listening to Peppy complain. The 2nd level (Meteo) really picked up the pace, and the drama was incredible for the Nintendo 64. The level opens with Peppy saying "It's quiet. Too quiet.", quickly followed by, "LOOK OUT IT IS A TRAP!!!!", followed by a hoard of enemies, then giant meteors, ending with the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a video game. A giant space craft swoops down and a monkey with a british accent says "I can not allow you to go any further". After a short time the british monkey says "I am no match for you. I admit defeat." The whole game goes silent, and then the monkey yells "IF THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!". He fires a huge amount of lasers, and then calls me scum after I defeat him. Time for Level 3! This one was also disturbing, but provided the greatest thrill I had ever had. The Star Wolf team comes in, saying some very creepy comments while they beat me. "You'll be with your dad soon Fox!" (Fox's dad is dead), "I'm going to bust you up REAAALLL good!" (says the pig who betrayed Fox's dad), and "Go back to the pond, Froggy.". Then, right in the middle of that big fight, the robot assistant comes in and says "DANGER! A bomb has been discovered in the base! Explosion in 1 minute!" Level 4 was at the climax of wierdness, though. A giant terminator-like robot came in and started repeating "DESTROY! DESTROY!". I have not been able to get level 4, the robot always crushes me and then I get Game Over. I do highly this game, though. It is possibly the most thrilling game on the N64! Trust me, it is addicting.
Trying to get a PS2 controller to work on a PC is stupid because every major PC gamepad company has a PS2 copy of their controller that goes through native USB.

Overall, the video game music was incredible! If only my Sega Genesis system were still working, I would still be playing this but since age finally took it's toll on both the cartrige and the system, I feel sad at seeing a great era in my life in video games come to a close. I still find myself humming to the music on the "Scrap Brain Zone" level even to this day, years after last playing this game.
1073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game offers it all. Shooting action, adrenaline pumping duck and dodge fire fights, rescue missions, covert action, gadgets, evil villains, story and plot, and a lot of weapons. I reccomend this to any gaming fan. Buy this game right now! You don't know what you're missing if you don't. The game also offers an incredible ammount of replay value with dozens of cheats that can be activated by getting record times in levels and also two levels that can be activated by beatin gthe game on different levels of difficulty. All in all, a completely amazing game. Buy it. Don't hesitate.
(6) as it is longer, you effect more of the world at the end of the story;
If anything, don't buy this for the standalone game but--for goodness sake--get online and try out some of those mods. You deserve it!
This is the best first-person shooting game ever! Although dated, the detail of this game is amazing. There's over 14 levels of shooting! My favorite missions are the first level, the Silo mission, the Train mission, and the very last level.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. I will soon be purchsing the sequal for PS2, Harvest Moon Save the Homeland which I have been longing for ever since I got my PS2. Yes, I am writing this a long time after it was released, I know. And after all this time, it is still in my top 3 greatest games ever!
The story follows Squall, Zell, and Selphie, three characters who just graduated the SeeD program at Balamb Garden, Quistis Trepe an instructor at Balamb, and Irvine a sharp shooter who can't stop hitting on girls, in their quest against the evil sorceress Edea and Seifer, who graduated the SeeD program and turned against garden.
But is Diablo as good as all the hype? Well, pretty much!
8756 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For those of you who loved the first game in the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy for Snes this is highly recommended! Diddy and Dixie are the charachters in this one and they certainly have more attitude than the titular beloved primate! The levels are more elaborate than the first one and just as fun! Everything you loved about the first one is present in the sequel! 10/10
While this game may seem a bit short, it is still a fun platformer released in the PS1 days.
This version is all about platforming and more platforming in almost every single level, however given that Capcom were the ones behind making this game -a company I used to trust 20-some years ago for knowing how to create one quality game after another- you can bet your bottom dollar that this game is very fun to play. You just have to not compare it to the graphically superior Genesis version. It's VERY important you don't compare the two (even though I'm hypocritically doing it now while writing this review, haha!)
7380 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Game "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins" was probably the first game I received when I got my Gameboy somewhere between 1992-1993. I swear when I first got this game, I couldn't put it down for hours. The game was hard at first, but as you gain experience, it gets easier and easier (I might have beaten the game about 100 times now).
5271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, after playing thief, I reply this game, for people who ask "What is the best game you have ever played?". Thief is a classic, and it is not a game for faint hearted "Half-life /counter-strike" people. The game is not designed for people who run around madly with a blazing gun, dying every 10 seconds.. You have to wait, you have to look, you have to be witty and quiet while playing the game... You can turn off torches by firing a water arrow, and you can sneak through the darkness you created.. Walking on metal ground attracts guards, while walking on a carpet is the ultimate way of sneaking.. After playing this game , I am no longer afraid of darkness; as darkness will be your only ally..
Overall, Vampire is a decent single player game, and it has the potential to be an excellent multi-player one. Like any game that you play online, the amount of fun you have is largely influenced by the people that you play with, so it's important to make sure you find people that are serious about role-playing. That is, unless you want to join a game where all you do is hack-and-slash, because the majority of games that are created seem to be more like that. Still, like with any good game, it supports people who want either/or, you're not forced to roleplay if you don't want to, nor do you have to hack-and-slash.
When compared with the original x-wing, I'd have to say this one is better. Don't get me wrong; I think that x-wing is a classic, but its time is over. I can remember when I couldn't even BELIEVE that they could actually have a 3D model (even if it was just a few boxy squares) of an Imperial Star Destroyer! Now, in x-wing alliance, you get to go up against Darth Vader's (shudder!) super Star Destroyer the "Executor", the same shop which tailed Han Solo in "The Empire Strikes Back". Incredible detail!
6671 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Super Mario Land was an exceptional game for the time period it came out in back in 1989. It was one of the first Gameboy games ever made along with Baseball and Tennis. Portable gaming has come a long way since this game debuted. It is a fun little side scroller keeping the spirit of the Mario NES games. Yes the game has some single shooter airplane and submarine stages but I thought they were refreshing and made the game fun. I see a lot of people griping and complaining that there is no save feature or password. Come on this game is a breeze and should not take you more than 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
On the flipside however, the jungle stages are definitely worse than the ones in DKC. This is because they're usually quite short, and not much attention to stage design was given compared to other stages in the game.
6895 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game, how can you go wrong? You get the ultimate fighting game there has ever been, easy controls, difficult fatalities, brutalities, babalities, friendships, combos. You start up the game and first when the character select screen comes you are blown away! An uncountable amount of characters, secret characters like Knameleon, Smoke, Kahn, Motaro, tons of kombat kodes and secrets. There is even a 2 on 2 mode, 3 on 3 mode and an 8 person tournament mode in the game. No other non 3D fighting game will be the same!
Enemy AI can be a bit punishing. Genome soldiers will follow footprints left in the snow or water to your location. They will seek out strange noises and if and when you are discovered you will be instantly surrounded by his cohorts and more than likely pummeled by assault rifle fire until dead.
8842 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was completely ecstatic when Super Metroid came out for the Super NES back in 1994. The Nintendo designers built on all of the greatness that players already saw from the first 2 installments. The prologue from this particular title continues off from the cliffhanger ending that you may have seen from Metroid 2 for Game Boy. Samus will eventually return to the old stomping grounds of planet Zebes, with 2 new ideas to explore: Crateria and the Wrecked Ship. Every single thing about this game is just awesome times ten.
However, if you prefer to buy a fighting game because...it's a fighting game, and not pathetic eye-candy, the original SSB is godly. The controls are extremely precise, and it's possible to execute combos to near perfection. Indeed, combos are key to this game, something most players seem not to understand. Melee seems to have been created to eliminate combos and reduce fighting to random hacking and button-mashing; this is perfectly suited to mentally deficient monkeys, but humans with brains might prefer something that takes a little bit of skill. The only problem with SSB is that the combos can become degenerate, and certain characters are simply not viable, but most players don't seem good enough to take advantage of this (almost no one thinks Jigglypuff is anything more than a pathetic waste of a spot, for instance) so enjoy!
Overall this is the best controller I have ever used.

The first Crash Bandicoot game was released way back in 1996 with Naughty Dog developing the game, Sony Computer Entertainment publishing it and Universal Interactive Studios being the distributors. It was a PlayStation exclusive, but would eventually get re-released as a PS One Classic on the PlayStation Store to be played on the PlayStation 3. The game is definitely kid friendly and appropriate for all ages, Crash Bandicoot is basically a Mario ripoff but a very good one none the less who came up with several original ideas. The story goes that Crash Bandicoot was created by Doctor Neo Cortex and his henchmen Doctor Nitrus Brio. Crash escapes the experiments but leaves his girlfriend Tawna in the process and Crash is swept up to an island and sets out to go rescue her and stop the villains. Whats weird is that this is the only Crash Bandicoot game on the PlayStation in which Tawna appears in, I don't know why though, its definitely unusual. But nonetheless, lets continue with the game.

After playing a great many RPG's where one usually has to "grind" to build levels to grow stronger, a game like this that focuses on real-time action is a nice change of pace. Even more so because it is done so well. Unlike many RPGs, I found that the items and power-ups are actually rather practical, things you would actually use regularly (like the BOMBOS spell).
1= Very good
6836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage is a very fun game to play. I love this game i am a huge spidey fan. I was looking for the super nintendo version of this game thats because thats what i have. But these guys don't have it on thier list so i'm accualy reviewing the super nintendo version of the game and it rules. i have not played the sega one yet but i will. Have fun playing both versions of the game.
altho I don't like to cheat, it's a easy way to get all the levels and guns(with infinite ammo)
5332 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I had this game a while ago. I loved it almost as much as I loved the SNES version. I liked being able to play a girl, and to get a cat, and I also liked that this was back when you could decently play the game and turn a good in-game profit WITHOUT the optional help of the sprites (all other HM recently, I've noticed you NEED them...I'd rather do the farming myself than pay a stupid lil sprite to do it)...but I was sorely disappointed that the marriage system is completely missing from this game.
5382 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good
This is a great PC game and is highly reccomended.
I didn't play the game for the combat. I had choosen to be a warrior, but I found myself assigning more and more points to wisdom and intelligence, to improve my dialog choices and regain more memories.
Gameplay:
Even if i never play this game again and leave it to collect dust (not likely)-i'll always remember this game as one of the finest moments of the N64 lifetime (that is 1996-2001).
Even the music is disappointing this time around when is absolutely crazy since the Super NES is supposed to prevail in that department, though I do really like the many different version of "A Whole New World" they use. One thing that's incredibly important to mention is that I feel the Super NES version is more appropriate for kids. By "appropriate" I mean, the learning curve of the platforming is really generous and the challenge builds gradually with each level. It's the perfect platformer for kids honestly since the game provides a perfect learning curve. However experienced platform gamers won't think this version of Aladdin provides any sort of challenge until the boss fights at the end of the game.
1956 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!
Overall
Campaign editor is the final mode in the game. I've never realy explored it too much because I never wanted to make a bad game and then people tell me its a bad game lol. In campaign editor you basically make your own ums game. Its fun to a certain degree but I personally never got into it.
(16) the game rewards you if you choose to go down the dark path or the path of light
But all in all you gotta appreciate Nintendo's efforts.
891 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 CLASSIC!!!
1186 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is definitely a hundred steps past Quake and others of its type. The AI is great. The evolving story is great. The fight against the Special Forces team is nerve wrackingly great. However, all this greatness became stale, I never bothered to finish the game. The game just seemed to grow old after a time. Maybe it needs something more to carry the player through?
Zelda 64 a Remake?
9567 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 there're alot of great RPG games out there like FF7, zelda 3, chrono trigger, suikoden 1 and 2, secret of mana to name a few but none can top FFtacxtic for PS one. it's my # 1 rpg of all time. i really like jobs/class system ( 18 if remember correctly..nija and summoner is a must ) the game is quit hard if you didn't level-up, get a higher jobs/class or worst decline Count Orlandu to join your quest half way through chapter 4. his holyknight skill is indeed second to none. it would been perfect if the game were a little longer but you can get up to 70 hours of game plays if you try to get all jobs/classes. all and all this's one the greatest game, with great stories, challenging enermies and so much twists and turns.
Voices that suites characters well -mega man sounds the way i remember to be. Roll sounds the way i thought she would sound.

4803 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Some readers of this review may be too young to remember the space invaders of the 80's but it had many of the children born in that decade [myself included] entrapped into playing this game addictivly for hours on end. But, when the game re-released onto the Nintendo 64 I was most anxious to see the job that was done on this remake of a classic. Incredibly though it was not as bad as one might have though and I actually caught myself pretty immersed into it at times. It plays and sounds extremely well making for a great gaming experience and will keep many gamers near their Nintendo 64 consoles for a great while. So pick up a classic and be happy you did.
My hat's off to Square for releasing these games to us hardcore gamers in North America. FF VI is arguably the best RPG in the 16-bit genre, and FF V, technically being a new game to North America, make this an unbeatable package. Square must know this, because they're doing it again with Final Fantasy Chronicles (FF IV and Chrono Trigger). Smart move if you ask me. Gamers like me will be first in line to get this compilation when it comes out. Meanwhile, if you see this somewhere and you don't own it, buy it! You won't regret it.
Duke Nukem Total Meltdown is recomended for a mature audience since this game does have over the top pig exploding violence plus you go to an Adults Only Book store and there are half naked strippers with stars on them.
Four forth boss it is simple all you got to due is push the jar of the edge by applying more pressure than the shy guys that are try to push it back from the center of the platform. This was a toll assited run some you maye have to do it more than once in the real game with out enhancements to defetas this boss but that is the general method for defeating this boss. 27 minutes into this video will continue after second appoint ment with Jannet gets done around 2 because next appoint is not until 2:45 its only about 2 to 15 minute walk or run. Going to play yugio don't think I can beat the arcade ninja turtles in under 15 minutes yet not good enough at dogging and countering yet.
125 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my grandkids (and their parents) love playing with the microphone along with the guitar we got.
Sound- Ain't nothing more prettier than hearing your enemies bone crunch! 5/5
Overall? It's good. In fact it's very good. They put a lot of work into it making sure everything balances more or less. Is it worth the money? Not now with SC3K Unlimited out. Get it instead, as it's much more refined. If you haven't played a SimCity game before or if you're a diehard 2000 fan, absolutely. If you just sorta liked 2000 and quit playing it after a little bit, you may want to wait until it hits the bargain rack.
Your quest is for THE DAGGER OF XIAN.It's hidden somewhere out there I know do you?
In all, Perfect Dark is a good game for the Nintendo 64, but had Rareware spent a little while longer taking out framerate issues, and making it a bit harder to get killed, perhaps this could have been a stronger title. Buy only if you can deal with these problems, otherwise, get Goldeneye 007.
7077 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game and it is in pristine condition, i normally clean them myself right after i get them because they are still a little dirty but this one didn't need it at all
The plot of the game is pretty simple. Beavis and Butthead find out their favorite band Gwar is coming to play in their town soon, so they purchase a pair of tickets. The tickets get eaten by the neighbors dog, who then pukes them into a lawnmower. The wind sweeps away the ticket pieces. Rather than go out and buy more tickets (I assume they couldn't afford another pair) Beavis and Butthead embark on a quest to find the ticket pieces. And so our game begins...
You start the game as a young Kokiri boy living in the forest village with your friends and the old, wise Tree of Life. when darkness strikes your small corner of the world its up to you to delve into the tree and find out whats truly hurting and potentially killing him. after solving the situation in your home a much broader world of discovery and adventure opens up to you, and its up to you to save Hyrule.
8065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this product came in on time if not earlier. item was descibed exactly as it was in the description. thanks.
The game has one of the best soundtracks I've ever listened to in a video game. I can tell there were LOTS of effort put into this masterpiece. You can even put the game into a CD player and it would play the music!
the N64 and turn the power on. The Shark should count down from 5 to 1. On the menu screen, choose key codes.
And that's when he gets in over his head.
The graphics are good by today's standards. But back wen this game came out no detail was spared.
5 out of 5 stars....Superb
3468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident evil is one of the longest run PlayStation titles out there. It is really a shame that Gamecube is the exclusive RE platform now, because Playstation always did it best. Since th very birth of PS, there has been resident evil, and RE 3 does not dissapoint. RE 3 puts a great new spin on the series, through the arch super villan nemesis. Nemesis (as you can see from the box art) is a menacing tyrant, much like the tyrants in RE 2 out for the lead character Jill's blood. The great part about this game is the difficulty setting. While they really make no difference, it can give the new gamers to this title a bit more edge, since this is one of the harder RE titles.
6775 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now you have Tails on your side to combat that evil Dr. Robotnic! This game has better graphics, a new feature (the charge-up spin) multiplayer, and fun levels! A great addition to any Genesis library!
760 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is so freakin fun, especially on 4-player with cheats, probably my favorite N64 game. Never loses its replay value.
4. The movies in between levels are fun to watch.
17. RX-Tech Mines
Overall- 10/10
(For those who didn't get the Title for my review: Final Fantasy Tactics for the win in my opinion)
7475 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoy playing this back then even now, it is a bit challenging but it is a fun game.
On a side note, I just want to say that it's absolutely AMAZING how they were able to cram so much data from two PS1 discs onto one N64 cartridge. Unbelievable....
The enemy mutank leads the machines for a hundred years until a lone satelite in space is reactivated and reactivates Tiny Tank to save humanity and reclaim the surface world. Each stage comes with another out take from the commercial spots, filled with funny little one liners providing the back story leading the the machines uprising.
9110 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got one of these [...] last week and its great! For get this, only $20 you can get a brand new Genesis with a controller and AC adapter. This version of it is about the size of a portable cd player making it perfect for travel and easy to store away. The only bad thing is that it doesnt work with Game Genie 32x vrracing and Sega CD. But still $20 for argubally the greatest system of all time is worth it, jump on this offer while you still can. It will give you Nostalgia from the old school days of video games.
3869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome, thanks!
5538 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 if you like fast paced 360 degree action and big explosions, this is it. i bought this years ago when i was a kid and this game first came out; bought a PS2 recently and decided this game was worth buying again. you WILL NOT be disappointed in this arcade 3rd person shooter. Awesome soundtrack by Static-X goes along great with this theme as well. Alot of origional ideas at hand here (there needs to be an Omega Boost 2!) a must buy for any PSX owner.
Combine these features with an awesome soundtrack and great sound effects, and you've got a game that will turn even the most casual of gamers into a hardcore fanatic. This was an amazing game indeed.
9749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 if you started off playing need for speed and jump to this game you are going to get mad fustrated and upset due to the racing physics. its old yet true to its name. you are going to have a hard time playing this game but its fun and a great challenge
7851 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Always fun and shipped early!! Was as described !
5644 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought it, because my big brother played it a long time ago. But he cracked all the games, with his hand. After he beat them all. I guess he didn't want anybody else to play the games? They weren't even his. He didn't buy them. But whatever, now he can't do that to my games. ^_^
That why we pick Dreamcast because the price is good and it's little bit same has PS2 which Dreamcast doesn't have DVD compatible but is still a great console. :-)
4968 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a curiosity purchase that sat for awhile. I finally fired it up on an XP machine. Do get the upgrade if you can find it.
2384 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great classic game. You begin as a new Pokemon trainer, and soon select your first Pokemon. The choices are Charmander, a fire type;squirtle, a water type;or bulbasaur, a fire type. Interestingly, three Pokemon you choose from are like rock/paper/scissors, charmander beats bulbasaur, squirtle beats charmander, and bulbasaur beats squirtle. Soon, you rival chooses his Pokemon(annoyingly, its always the one that has the type advantage, like if you choose squirtle he will choose charmander. You are then given the task of completing a complete guide of Pokemon by catching all of them. In order to beat the game, you only need the first 150 Pokemon, however, there is also a legendary number 151 Mew. You catch Pokemon by using one you already have to weaken it, then catching it with a Pokeball. Once you catch a Pokemon, you may use it to fight others, but you can only have up to 6 Pokemon at a time. Along the way, you will encounter other trainers you may battle. There are regular trainers, which you battle only for money, fun, and experience. However, there are also gym leaders, which are specialized trainers with stronger Pokemon than regular trainers in their area have. There are 8 in all, and once you beat them, you may then battle the elite four, who are much tougher than gym leaders and you have to fight all of them in succession. You also encounter your rival throughout the game. And he becomes Pokemon League Champion, however, once you defeat him, you become Pokemon League Champion. There are also troublemaking team rocket members that you can and sometimes have to battle as well. Their boss is also the leader of gym 8. I have found the gym leaders and team rocket members are actually exceedingly easy if you know what you're doing, however, the elite 4 is very tough, especially since you have to face them all toghether. There are also legendary Pokemon, which are considered to be part of the 151 total, and they are very rewarding but challenging to catch. Also, one cool thing is there is a lot of moves(although some are kind of stupid) and certain Pokemon have strengths over others. For example, fire takes out grass easily. However, you can beat the game just by having stronger Pokemon, however, this is actually harder than using strategy. Because it takes a great length of time to level up, while a skilled player can quickly catch a Pokemon with a type advantage. And to the guy who said he beat this game in a hour....if you think this game is easy, than you should quit playing videogames altoghether, because you obviously are such a great master of everything. Also, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT THE GAME IN A HOUR! AT MINIMUM, YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT FOR AT LEAST LIKE 20 HOURS FOR YOUR POKEMON TO BE HIGH ENOUGH LEVEL TOO! Oh, wait, you must have used a gameshark. Wow, no wonder you are so good at videogames. But if anyone tells you they beat the game in a hour, they either cheated, found a big glitch, or both. Or else their exaggerating. But the only way the game could really beat that easy is if you had a strategy guide. "Oh this game is so easy, I only had to read 50 books on it to beat it on the first try." GET REAL! IF THIS ISN'T A CHALLENGE, NOTHING IS! Overall, its a great game, but there are some annoying things. First off, to get all 151, you must trade with freinds, as neither red nor blue has every Pokemon, but they do combined. Most Pokemon are in both versions, but some are exclusive to either red or blue. Also, as you level up your Pokemon, they evolve(which is really more accurately described as metamorphises), and some only evolve by trading them with the same Pokemon with another player. Another thing is there is only one save slot. Finally, in the Japenese version, by getting the first 150, you get number 151,but in the US version you can only get them through Nintendo's promotions or by cheating. Hmm, giving Americans a raw deal, aye Nintendo? You know we buy into your promotions instead of demanding that you make stuff available in the games. In Japan, gamers would be outraged, but you know you can take advantage of us Americans? Okay, go ahead. But despite the fact that it isn't as good as the Japenese version or a perfect game, Pokemon Red is still one of my favorites.
The story for this game is superb, although it lacks a few minor details that not even Crisis Core reveals it still has one of my favorite story-lines in the entire history of videogames or movies. I do recommend you play this game before Crisis Core (before Nibelheim) just because Crisis Core reveals what really happens to Cloud & then this game won't really keep you interested. Besides that though i really think this game is still considered one of the best!
I thought the music and atmosphere made the game creepy, and the goofy skipped-frame way the monsters moved made the game funny. It's an interesting mix.
- Multiple endings
3978 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm reading that a lot of people are having saving problems with this card. I've had it for a couple weeks, and this thing has been pretty abused.
The graphics, first of all, are amazingly smooth, and the game runs well even on a lower end system like mine. All of the characters are reasonably well modeled, and the physics engine and gore are pretty fun, although it is awkward the big chunks of hacked meat bounce around like beachballs.
4900 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Suikoden 3 does not suck, however compared to Suikoden 1 and 2, it is not that great. I remember playing 1 again for the 108 stars of destiny, then playing 2 for the 108 stars of destiny, and after doing it, I realized how terrific of a game this is.
GOOD:
Overall, this is an amazing Game Boy experience, and like all the Nintendo greats out there, it remains timeless to this day.
3504 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega VMU is simply amazing. It is not just a memory card, but it also shows the last time you used your game, a clock and games that you can download of Sega Net. It also has a great LCD screen which you can use to choose your plays in football games so your friends don't cheat. The only problem is the battery power is weak and it the VMU only holds 200 blocks which is just enough to save one Sega Sports 2K2. The Sega VMU is still a great deal...
There's still a lot of fun to be had with Starfox, even after all this time. I rented it and progressed most of the ways you could progress back in the day, and I'm glad to own it for the system now.
7910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To rival Street Fighter II and its success, this game comes out and starts up a huge controversial topic about violence in video games. When it was ported to consoles, several versions didn't have the gore. The Super Nintendo game was one of them. WHAT?! You dare criticize an awesome fighting game just because there wasn't blood?! What greed.
8336 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a marvelous game! The part of the game that shines is definitely the SameTime mode. It is much harder, but more fun and strategic that the orginial. The computer AI are excellent, there are 16 AI opponents each with different traits and their own skill level of play.
Theres absolutely no excuse for a 16-bit game to not have a pause button!
7101 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great price, arrived early, was exactly as advertised to be.
All in all, Pac-Man 2 is a should-have. If you're a cartoon fanatic, you should pick this up right away. If you are looking for an unexpected challenge, the game certainly has that. If you are a Pac-Man fan, and wish for arcade-style action, Pac-Man 2 still offers the arcade classic and Pac-Jr to satisfy your needs. There's something for everyone here!
Highly recommended to anyone who still plays the old PS.
Overall I really enjoyed this game even though it took me a long time to get around to playing it. I still cannot get over how much Wesker in the opening movie looks like Val Kilmer from Top Gun. It had me jumping in a lot of areas and the puzzles were not too difficult. A great game and a great buy.

4151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hi question if i order & purchase & pay for this PC Game star-craft battle chest with my credit card will the payment be accepted this time instead of declined again like blazing angels part 1 you know the one for the ps3 i payed for on this website a couple of weeks back with 3 others that were able to come through except one which is the blazing angels part 1 for the ps3 .
434 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 With the genre monopolized by the the Final Fantasy series, it is not suprising that this game is absent from most people's top RPG list. To clarify, it is not as good as an FF game, but it is nonetheless enjoyable and fun.
Head On=Good Gameplay Online Mode included (psp and ps2) Spiritual Sequel to Twisted Metal 2
I will add however, as the story unfolds your character finds out more about himself. Why is is there and what lies ahead for him. It's hard to explain, but I am sure you will love it.
Thanks!
4719 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is by far one of the best Castlevania game in the franchise. Super Catslevania IV is my personal favorite, but this one is definitely tied for 2nd place, along with Aria of Sorrow on the Gameboy Advance. Yes SotN was the first game to begin the so called "Metroidvania" phase, but the game itself is spectacular. Even if you enjoy the more linear (point A to point B) style of the original Castlevania games (outside of Simon's Quest)you should really enjoy the more open world feel that this style brings to the table. This game will challenge you to a point of frustration, but will keep you coming back again and again. The music is great, the enemies are unique, and there are so many subweapons, and powerups to keep this game fresh. I will continue to play and replay this one again and again.
4724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one of the reasons I hold onto my Playstation 2 (as the Playstation 3, for some stupid reason, will not play older games). I have passed this game several times, and every couple of years I feel the itch to revisit it. This game is Castlevania at its finest--despite the terrible voice actors and mediocre graphics. The bosses are tough, as are many of the areas of the castle, and figuring out how to progress in some places can be a challenge, but the rewards are great. This game has endless replay value IMHO.
3175 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like I said, I've played a lot of Street Fighter games in several arcades and I'm truly amazed with each and every one of them (except for some of the Street Fighter EX series). Street Fighter Alpha 1 and 2 were excellent games and they sold well in the console market. Street Fighter Alpha 3 improved over all of the Street Fighter games when it first came to the Arcade and PlayStation. When the Dreamcast came out, I had second thoughts about the PlayStation version. I have no problem with the PlayStation version, but the only thing I hated about it was the loading times. On the superior Dreamcast version, there are absolutely no loading times in this one. The graphics moved at a solid framerate, the gameplay still remained solid, and for the first time ever, you can duke it out with people from around the world using online play ! This is the first Street Fighter game to ever achieve and online play feature. Remember that sorry excuse for a Street Fighter, Dan Hibiki ? Well his Shinku Gadouken can go faster and farther (but stops at a certain point) and now it looks bigger than before ! You get to play as several characters like Evil Ryu, Fei Long (the Bruce Lee look-alike), T. Hawk, E. Honda, Ken, Chun Li, Ryu, Charlie, Blanka, Rainbow Mika, Gen, and more ! Wanna add a Street Fighter game in your Dreamcast library ? Get this one !
Further, trains really only go from point A to point B. That is, say you have cattle yard (B) that needs grain and two grain farms (A1 and A2) that supply grain, you can't set up a train to pick up grain at A1, travel to A2 to pick up more grain, and then travel to B to drop it off. When the train stops, it's completely unloaded. This is never spelled out anywhere, and certain ways of setting up a train's route suggest otherwise. But in the above situation, your train will actually unload grain at a grain farm (for no money) rather than haul it another ten miles to the cattle yard, where it's actually needed.
1366 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Stupid Sony... they forced 3D games out before anybody was ready. Nintendo was forced to cancel many Super Nintendo games (Doom FX, Star Fox 2, Mario FX) and release the Nintendo 64. Many popular 2D games failed in full 3D. Castlevania, Mega Man... they failed and have not been revived. Did Mario succeed? YES! This game is a legend. I heard about it in 2009 (not 1996) in a Nintendo Power magazine simply titled "Mario". I did not own a Nintendo 64 (this was 2009). The only system I had was an original Wii that we used for Mario Kart. I was somehow able to persaude my parents to buy me a Wii Point Card with 2000 points on it (enough for Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros 3). I downloaded it and was greeted with a happy Mario face that said "HELLO!". Soon I was distorting him to where he had no moustache and had big ears. Then I started the game and got a message from Peach. In her girly princess voice she read the letter, which told Mario she had baked a cake for him. The plumber could not resist and jumped out of a warp pipe onto the castle grounds. I had never played a 3D Mario Game. I stuck to Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, My Sims, and Wii Sports (I was 8 years old). After a little bit of exploring I entered the castle. Instead of a cake Mario got a scary message from Bowser (Who ate cake, I guess). Soon I was hiking up a hill to meet a giant king bomb complete with a moustache and crown. He told me (using fancy king words) that in order to get the bomb I had to defeat him. I defeated him and moved on to the next level, a giant fortress ran by slabs of concrete with faces. Then I started level 3, a snow level. What a level that was! Finding baby penguins, building snowmen, sliding down a slide. Then my parents walked in. My mom said "YUCK! What are those dots supposed to be?". Those dots were snow flakes. My dad said "Are those graphics... 64 bit?" I had not even realized the graphics were bad because I was lost in the creative levels. Each level had an original design with interesting puzzles and obstacles put in the way of the star. Each boss was different and interesting. The graphics are outdate, so what? This, along with Mario 3, really changed my view of video games. Now (in 2012) I have almost no respect for high-powered consoles like the Xbox 360. Kids should play these old games. How hard is it to get kids a $20 card so that they can enjoy a unique classic like this? The challenge is not too much. If you get stuck on one level you can try another. This is a beautiful game that put the Nintendo 64 to its limits.
7190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 James Bond sucks compared to Agent Dark! She's the best spy in the world! This game is so hot that it would literally take you about an hour to read my review! The missions, multiplayer, and challenges are awesome! I haven't beaten the game and I have about 50 weapons already! There are about 50 characters to choose from! YOU MUST GET THIS GAME OR I WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE WITH AGENT DARK AND SHOOT YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT!
You have the original lineup: Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Gambit. Gambit and Cyclops' mutant powers are weak and so are their jumping, but their speed is up to par. Wolverine and Nightcrawler stand out from all the characters because they can climb and crawl on walls and ceilings, can jump high, and are the quickest characters, not to mention Wolverine's strong mutant attack and healing factor (if you wait a few minutes when your health is running low). There are three new mutants in the roster. Psylocke has the highest jump, best ranged attack, and strongest mutant power attack(unfortunatley robots are immune to her psychic knife). Beast's regular attacks and mutant attacks are the strongest, but his speed is not up to par. Both Psylocke and Beast can stick onto walls, but can't crawl like Wolverine and Nightcrawler. As for Magneto, if you think it is easy street to finally control one of the most powerful mutants in the world, think again. To balance out the rest of the characters, Magneto was designed to be the slowest character in the game of which he has only two weak attacks (projectles only), but he can float on command. As I recall, he's only useful for one level (which is the Apocalypse level for obvious reasons).
5138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks
3801 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have to admit, this was my first fishing video game that I ever purchased and when I finally got around to playing it, I was suprised at how enjoyable SEGA BASS FISHING was! The game play is indeed addictive and this was also a suprise. I never thought a fishing game could be so much fun!
418 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The first time I played this game I was amazed by the sheer quality coming out of this game. The grahics were absolutly incredible and the gameplay was out of this world. This was all in 1995. Now that tekken2 and tekken3 had arrived on the scene it seemed as though tekken had faded to a fairyland. Back then in junior school everyone was in conversation about all the characters and the secret ones and how you unlocked them. And know that games like tekken2, tekken3 and soulbade coming to the playstation tekken was suddenly never an issue. All I know is that tekken was a fantastic game at launch and had also beaten virtua fighter on the saturn which was a rival to tekken. If tekken had never come out then I believe with a 100% that none of the existing games that I have mentioned above and their sequals would have been in existance. Despite these games being in existance tekken is still a soulfighter and is the game that made namco famous on the playstation.
4269 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great deal. Both stratagy guids,lots of new maps, lots of operating platforms, and low requirements make this a great deal. This is my all time favorite game. it is fun both with and without the internet, and is verry replayable. I garrente that you will lose sleep because this game is so good. So buy it~good playing. You will not be dissapointed when you buy it. :-)
You can stand non Multiplayer games.
6978 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It didn't not work i had to send it back
The Duel mode plays like a fighting game since you have to beat up a certain enemy(ies) to move on. You start with so much HP, but if you lose all of it, you can't advance. There are no credits/continues in this mode.
Let me tell you about Maxi. His weapon is the nunchaku and it is very fast and only very experienced people could see his moves soming. They are also very coolto watch. You might find yourself trying to do those moves(I tried to do them) He has a lot of combos.
1691 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Runs perfectly! Came in original case.
2420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works fine, and it is SSB64 of course it'll be awesome.
5276 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of coolest game ever!
6457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all, I loved AOE I, and was looking very mush forward to the second comming. And WHAT a game! Everything that you've been scream about i all these years that where missing in RTS games is in this one. There even a button you can click to cyckle through idle villagers, and soldiers. Emsemble Studios have created (in my oppision) one of best RTS games to date.
This is one of those games that the more you play it the more you're able to value its contributions to the gaming industry. Each time I play it I notice aspects that have been replicated in many following FPS games. So if you have a Nintendo 64 go ahead and dust that sucker and order a used copy of GoldenEye 007, because trust me, as a Bond fan, and a casual gamer I can say that this game is highly recommended for all those who want to step into the shoes of James Bond, or just have an awesome, intense gaming experience.
6060 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game might be 2D, about 4 years old (This game premeared on Sega Saturn), and the idea is kinda strange, but this is a GREAT game! At first it starts out quite easy (You'll beat the first 5 levels in less than 2 minutes) but soon you're wondering if there is a way to beat the game. Heck, before you know it you'll buy the stratigy guide to try and figure out what to do next. This game has given me more of a challange in gaming than Lara Croft did in Tomb Raider. I highly recomend this game. Now where is a copy for Dreamcast? Huh, Sega?
Finally, the graphics and the sound are passable. Levels are detailed but heavily pixelated and sound sounds cranky or too soft at times.
9880 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you liked Sonic 3, you're in luck. Sonic and Knuckles has about 65% of Sonic elements (-25% levels, -4% Tails, -6% Save Files)
But if the Three Heart Challenge wasn't enough, OoT lets you tack on additional stipulations to make replaying it even harder! There are technically unnecessary items which let you breathe underwater and resist intense heat. Not getting them limits the amount of time you can spend in relevant areas. On top of all that, you could even as far to skip the health upgrades which halve your damage.
7214 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My mom bought this for me for my birthday when I was turning 10. It comes with the only Donkey Kong 64 which is probably the biggest platform game of Nintendo 64. It has great graphics and the music matches each world perfectly. I love how you have to use each of the 5 characters to beat the level instead of just picking your favorite. Each character brings different strengths to the table and have different weapons, moves, and instruments. The boss battles are clever and creative and the final battle against King K. Rool is one of the best in all of video games.
But here is the (so far) ultimate 3D Shooter, and is not going to be made any better for long.
8964 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best, maybe the best side-scroller action/fighting game of the classic years of video games for the Genesis and this style of games. It is by far my favorite platform game for the Genesis, though Shinobi 3 and the first one come very close, and also the Vector Man and Sonic Games I favor comparably.
Basically starcraft is a game that uses the same type of formula found in a Warcraft or Age of Empires type of game - you build a colony of units and buildings and attack your opponent. Starcraft lets you chooese from 3 races - Terran the human like race, Zerg the larva infested race or protos the highly evolved computer generated race. All of these races have units - all with there pros and cons. For example a Zerg Gaurdian can take out a whole terran defense of missle turrets but it cant attack air units.
It's actually a really fun game except for the fact that after you solve an island you can only bring a page back with you. But then you have to do that a second time if you want to bring the other page back. Now it's not nearly that bad, all your solutions are still done and it's much quicker to run through the age the second time, but it's the fact you HAVE to do it a second time. For example, if I find the blue page on the other age and then I find the red page, I can't carry them both back with me. That's kind of annoying that you can't carry two, you really see the games limitation at this point. So I bring the blue page back and listen to that guys new message, then I have to go back to the Age and get the red page then come back and listen to his message. You have to do this every time, and that's what lost a star for this game. It's rather inconvenient.
Graphics: Clearly, the Playstation seems to have had the advantage in this category due to the larger memory space of a CD-Rom than a cartridge. However, I would also challenge you to go back and play that original PS and tell me it doesn't look a little, well, goofy. It was almost as if Sony had this great new technology but weren't really sure how to utilize yet, packing their games full of crazy motion, wild colors, and fast-paced action sequences. The N64 took a different approach. The graphics were a bit blocky, but not nearly as "over-the-top" as Sony's. Games like Mario, Zelda, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark didn't have the sharp clarity of characters, but they looked much more "grounded", or realistic. It just comes down to what looked better to you.

Some championship races and cars can only be "unlocked" by buying them as an addon to the game. I paid nearly 30 dollars when the game was new. I don't like the idea that I have to keep paying to keep playing.
8256 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Einhander has got to be the best looking shooter available on the Playstation. It's full of colorful and detailed backrounds, the enemies are imaginatively constructed, and there's a nice variety of weapons. The gameplay is similar to side scrolling shooters of the past, with a couple of new features...like the ability to choose your ship and being able to change your weapon configuration on the fly. Einhander will keep even the most experienced of gamers on their toes with long and difficult levels. The only feature that keeps Einhander from perfection is the lack of a 2 player mode. Shooters have alot more replay value when they have a multiplayer option. Still, Einhander is a great game...and since it's now available at a low price, there's no reason not to get it.
3469 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Resident evil 2, may i say, is one of the best games of all time. So was re1, re0, and re code veronica. But not resident evil 3. First of all, whats with the difficulty mode?!! U either put it on easy and it starts u with enough ammo to finish the rest of the game with, or u put it on hard and it makes it so u barely have enough. But the worst part is the tyrant. It chases u so u barely have a chance to explore. It literally follows u through doors and into new areas constantly! He's hard to kill and always comes back. Plus he can kill u in one or two hits and is fast. It takes away from the fun of the game. Forget this game and try resident evil 2 or one of the others..... you will thank me later.
"R-type II" (1990) offers six levels of shooting entertainment. Three new powers ups have been added and your main beam weapon's capability has been increased.
I'm sorry people but the bottom line is that you can pass on this game and be quite contented because you saved a couple of bucks.
6 - Cooperative play, you can either play with a human or even a sim to get started on the mission.
if you like mario you will love thi 3D game.
It has good graphics, good gameplay, good ideas and lots of levels and replay value. Get this you won't miss out.
Gameplay:
MECH ZANGIEF
For those of you who for some reason are unaware, Metal Gear Solid is about a "hero" named Solid Snake. He is sent in (despite retirement) to rescue two people from a nuclear disposal facility on an island called Shadow Moses. The place is under control by the group Snake used to work for, FOXHOUND. Leading this rag-tag bunch of freaks is Liquid Snake, a man with the exact same face as Solid.
Suffice it to say Max Payne is just poor value all round. It's obvious most of the reviewers here either don't have the game or reviewed it while still in their 10-hour honeymoon with it. It's incredible how much a couple of days can sober one's opinion of this lackluster game. My two cents? Save your money and don't bother till it hits the bargain bin.
Not fair.
3. BARRY HAS A MAGNUM AND HES PROUD!!!
168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like this product because it means you can have little to no cleaning maintenance kept up on your controller which is cool and it keeps the controller nice and smooth which is great for long gaming sessions.
Soundwise, this game was a breakthrough in video game entertainment. Bioware outdid itself with its ambient environmental effects. Enter a forest area and you can hear birds and natural wildlife along with trees swaying and wind blowing. When rain comes, it comes with excellent audio. I'm telling you, crank up your fancy speakers and listen! You will become immersed. The towns are constantly alive with sounds of commotion and people shouting. Masterful. The combat sounds such as spell effects and weapons hitting flesh along with the music is commendable as well.
1. SNES: First Part, Link goes and retrieves three pendants after rescuing Zelda. This is to get the Master Sword. Upon doing so, and after giving the Pendants up to retrieve the Sword, Zelda is kidnaped.
I will attempt to describe the move, it starts off as a regular suplex, but once he has the guy verticle in the air, he releases him and comes down into a piledriver. So basicaly your being dropped directly on your head from 6+ ft in the air. A regular piledriver is like 2 ft and you have almost no momentum. Same with a tombstone piledriver. This tops both by alot.
908 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is not much I can say except this is THE BEST GAME FOR N64. Not too easy, not too hard, tons of levels and objectives and the cutest cast of characters (Jinjos rock) If you like adventure games, Banjo-Kazooie is for you!
While video games at home were getting much more sophisticated by 1989, handhelds were still in its infancy. Mario had already been a household name by then thanks to Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and Mario was exactly what the budding Game Boy needed to succeed.
If you're just breezing through and want a Sonic game with good music or gameplay, this won't be close to the bottom of your list, but not the top, either. This is a casual buy if you're not collecting or shooting for nostalgia.
7213 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 What a weird game. I got this expecting the same type of thing that was going on in those great super nintendo games. But hey, if you like confusing and weird puzzles than you might enjoy this game. I suggest that you get it anyway but only to see how different it is than the dk country games. This is a puzzle level game, not a dk country game. I got bored and annoyed with it and stopped playing after having it for a few weeks.
Cons
Words fail to describe the perfect symphony of brilliant ideas, emerging story-line, beautiful environments, mesmerizing music, fun gameplay and detailed coding that makes this game an unsurpassed classic!
Nothing beats mulitplayer on a LAN with this game. My roommates and I have wasted many an hour blowing each other up, and setting up traps to crossbow people in. If you like a good single player game, love multiplayer action, and don't have this yet... What cave have you been livin' in? Get with it man!

This game is pure freakin' genious! They improved on the perfect Fallout and made it into something Jesus Christ himself would love to own.

Controls : Well, uh, they're good.
I especially like the mission commentaries, video feeds and voice acting, they're very well done and really help create the overall atmosphere.
7137 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And this, Snowboard Kids 2, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye 007, Wave Race 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Pokemon Stadium and Mario 64 (even though I've overplayed the latter three) are worth owning a N64 again for. Even if you have to buy it used from somewhere.
If polygon-breasted girls are your thing, go for it. But they aren't MY thing, and I know I'm not the only one to think so. Lara Croft isn't good-looking to the millions of internet gamers who understand that a blocky-looking computer babe isn't going to automatically make a game any fun to play. I'll give Lara Croft SOME credit. She was one of the originators of the "running around half-naked female shooter/adventure" type of video games. In fact, you might even say she was a MAJOR influence because soon after her very first adventure, more and more game companies were making the main characters in their games half-naked chicks. Lara brought something new to the world of video games and I will give her credit for that.
1910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the Best RE games for PlayStation.
- Vagrant Story
653 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is without a doubt one of the best games ever made - adventure or otherwise. It is fun, amusing, original, colorful, and challenging without being annoying. The only games that came close to it may be the Monkey Island series or The Last Express. The game is beautifully designed, with unforgettable characters, amazing landscapes, and reminds me of being inside a really well-written movie. Sadly, LucasArts stopped making games like this, a loss for the world.
The graphics are amazing (they recommend 256 meg of ram and a 64m video card, which I had, which means you may not get the full effect with anything less), the sound eefects and music were awesome, and the controls were just like any other FPS game (I shouldn't call this an FPS since it is played in 3rd person, but hey). Also, there are harder levels of play available after you beat one.
6266 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For some reason, back when this came out I had no warning. All of a sudden it appeared at the Video Game store. I must say that I typically enjoy the products Black Isle puts out and I got quite excited when I saw they had released something in the Planescape setting. I'm probably one of the few die-hard Planescape fans out there. I own all the AD&D books and supplements, as well as the Collectible Card Game. Also, my friends and I are slowly working through playing them all!
6646 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven was an extreme improvement over its prequils. It's the first Might and Magic game to have an actual 3D world.
They're all really fun and even though you don't get items to use against your foes in this game, just plain racing can get quite competitive. Most of the people that I knew weren't into this game but it was OK because racing against the computers had never been more fun!
4420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 first of all, this is not a flop. I don't know who would hate this. There are so many good games like Doom, Hexen, Duke Nukem, Resident evil, Silent hill, medal of honor, twisted metal. But mine broke after 7 years of usage. The engine burned out and it would turn on but the discs wouldnt spin. So, i suggest u get the new model to replace this one. Or a ps2. But, if u find one of these in mint, i garuntee it will work.
10/10! Would endure hell again.
Overall its great, and must have for anyone still stuck in he 90s
Great but hokey music.
3932 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I hate this game so much.
Fun and VERY challenging game play.
1424 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great classic game that basically revolutionized Nintendo 64 but there is only one problem. It is WAY too easy to beat. But I guess since it's an old game I can see why.
1964 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 all the star fox video games are the greatest video games in the universe there true classics the best of the best all the star fox video games rocks star fox adventures video game for the nintendo gamecube is the greatest video game in the universe a true classic star fox adventures video game for the nintendo gamecube rocks ^_^
There is still some slow lag issues in the game and some bugs here and there. The play control has some issues it does not seem fluid. I would stick to only playing this game in the arcade for the true overall experience, that way you can see why everyone enjoyed it so much. The endurance rounds provide a nice challenge that would be the only thing this game does better than MK2. Other than that the sequel was superior in every way. Seeing the classic characters is nostalgic and brings back a lot of memories.
7883 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overall, this RPG was very well done. There were some things that could have been improved upon, such as graphics and more character development, but lessons were learned and the improvements were made in Suikoden 2.
And there was left poor old Bubsy. The controls for the game are clunky at best, that much is certain, and it takes a while to learn his ropes. His jumping mechanics are very different; the developers solved the depth-perception problem (partially, anyway) by having the camera switch to an overhead view whenever he jumps, giving the player overly precise control over where he lands, a la Jumping Flash. Unfortunately, he takes so long to get a running start, he will probably slide right off of that platform you just landed on so precisely. In fact, you will get to know the jumping controls extremely well, because you are going to fall off of that platform quite a bit.
12. City
Solid Craftsmanship The battle system is turn-based, with some consideration given to quickness: Characters move in sequence to their speed parameter. For example, in some battles you may want to use light armor so that your character moves quicker instead of heavy armor which can slow you down. Also, certain characters have speed parameters higher than their enemies and may get extra turns while fighting. Beyond the usual manual, magic, and item attacks, characters can transform into dragons. Initially, only Ryu has the power to transform (and only when he's far into the game), but the other characters gain that power later. Transformation, though, requires crystals called Dragon Genes and AP (magic points) for the Genes chosen. By combining up to three Genes, different dragons can be created; the more Genes you use, the more powerful your dragon, though you'll use more AP. AP is also consumed at a constant pace while the dragon is in battle. Finally, you can learn monster skills for special attacks and spells. The construction of Breath Of Fire III's battle system-and of the whole game, for that matter-is very polished-thanks to excellent controls. You won't be moaning about the way this game handles. Sound Bites However, all isn't well in BOFIII. The sound effects are fine, if not particularly inspired. In battle, the characters emit rudimentary shouts, screams, and spell names, but not much more. And even though the sounds can get annoying, they're not anywhere near as badly done as the soundtrack. The music veers widely from unmemorable electronica to hopeless schmaltz, and more often than not, it doesn't add to the atmosphere of the story. The music seems more appropriate for a corporate infomercial than a heroic fantasy RPG. Aside from the inexplicably bad soundtrack, BOFIII is worth a long look from RPG fans. Although it doesn't possess the visual and aural magnificence of Final Fantasy VII (which few games will ever accomplish), Breath of Fire III holds up as a very enjoyable RPG in which sure craftsmanship is easily evident.
48 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just starting to collecting.this is one of the best item i get.
Your moves include the standard running, punching, butt-stomping, as well as the kick, the long-jump, the wall-kick, the side-somersault, and the backflip. You can also swim! There are three special caps that gives you special abilities. The Flying Cap gives you the ability to fly. The Metal Cap gives you the ability to walk underwater and be immune to enemy. The Vanish Cap gives you the ability to walk through enemies and certain walls. Mario most employ all of those ablities to save the Princess and the world.
This game has many, many hours of game play that will keep you busy for awhile. Lots of different scenery in different places of the world. You find yourself in a variety of places, and not just dungeons, and caves, but there is plenty of that, as well.
7729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just flawless, I'm just happy that I can havea copy in such great condifions
Sure, there was a lot of the fun kicking butt and taking names, the STAR of this game really is the soundtrack. It is so good in fact, based on some research, it is said that in Japan, the composer of the soundtrack was invited to DJ his tracks at a club. For it's time, it was that good. I feel it still holds up, creating atmosphere and excitement in basic stages, creates an adrenaline rush on the boss stages, on to the near PERFECT final stage tracks...not to mention one of the best....the ending music.
The only downside I found in the game, as I already mentioned, is the presence of a minor amount of blood when Zerg units are killed. But the amount is so nominal, and the playability is so incredible, that THIS GAME IS A MUST-HAVE!
I found all the micromanagement to be very tiring. The object of the game isn't to build an empire, it's to figure out all the stupid little workarounds it takes to make these people do what they should be doing without any thought.
5413 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this old arcade games. I remember when young playing Defender and Robotron, and this disk faithfully
6143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Look, there's nothing I can say that can do this game justice. Saying that the graphics are groundbreaking, the sound is excellent, and that it has an honest-to- plot that would actually make a fairly decent SF novel just doesn't capture the magnitude of this game.
3945 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I commend Gravis, I must thank sony for making such a great playstation controller. And thank you gravis for making the same controller for the pc. Although the controller is small, it fits perfectly in my hand. The is an 8 Axis control pad on the left, select and start buttons in the middle and 4 buttons on the right. At the top there are 4 more button. Another great thing about the controller is that the buttons are not mushy. You can press the easily not like the real playstation controller. The manual has instructions and troubleshooting techniques for installing in different languages. The keyset program, Xperience is bundled on the CD with documentation for that software on the CD. Although a little tricky to program, the keyset software works great. So if you have a playstation or you play alot of playstation games and you need a pad for the PC, this is definitaly for you. For everyone else, its a great cost effective pad. Also, some games like Fifa 2000 would us the same button setup like on the playstation if you use this pad.
2766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Myst is the first installment in the Myst series, and one of the best computer games ever- in my opinion, it's only topped by Myst II and Myst III, its sequels. Beautiful scenery, puzzling (but slightly less puzzling than Myst II and III, so it would be better for a younger person), and altogether a wonderful game to play. I would also suggest a walkthrough for this as well, but it isn't as necessary as for the nest two games in the series.
Plus: CRUSH, the greatest spell ever.
One aspect of the puzzles in this game that makes it different from many other games is that you cannot guess to solve a puzzle. With many games, you can get past a tough point just buy clicking on every item in your inventory until you guess the right one. Eventually, you guess right, and you're on to the next puzzle. In Myst, you must decipher them the old-fashioned way!
And there are some games that require the extra 4 mb of memory to access the full functionality of the game itself.
I'm not a fan of strategy games. I've never been into Populous, Civilization, Command & Conquer, or anything resembling. However, I can't stop playing this game. Every year I pick it up and start playing it again.
The worst part of it would be the intensely difficult jumps found in large quantities. This is the textbook example of frustrating level design: Nearly every single jump must be done within an accuracy of a few pixels. While the most difficult jump in the game requires you time perfectly across two falling platforms-essentially three jumps-is thankfully optional (used to snag a 1-up extra life), since I can only manage it about once in twenty tries (an optimistic guess), the normal jumps are too close to this required accuracy for comfort. One long series of jumps has you going over about a dozen blocks in such a fashion; while there's solid ground below to fall down onto and the process of jumping may always be restarted it's easy to mess up here. A later and quite ugly level where you are chased by spikes for nearly the entire level (and one part consists of climbing upwards and jumping from rope to rope) has the same feel to it, as mistakes tend to get you killed quite often.

I played it non-stop when I had my PS1, continued to play it with my PS2, and even now, after I got an Xbox 360 and play other games, I still plug up my PS2 and play some RE2 once and awhile. Yes, I can see the blocky graphics, bad audio, and ect, but I LOVE this game. It's my favorite of all time. I can give you a detailed walkthrough RIGHT NOW for every scenario in the game.

You play a redhead babe Regina and have to blast your way through all these blood thirsty dinos.. It gets hard at times, but after you play it a few times, you'll be all set.. This also has decent replay value as well, you get more costumes, and an infinite grenade launcher, so you can play again and blast all dinos Regina's other costumes are really cute as well, especially the cave-girl one, and she looks yummy! What else can I say? DC is worthy of purchase although it's somewhat on the mediocre side. RE fans will like...

This is a huge improvement over Tekken 1 & 2. The gameplay is addictive and never gets tiresome,plus the controls are perfect. It has tons of fighting moves and combos which never get repeative. Plus,it has many great charecters each with their own unique styles. Its also a great multiplayer game to boot. Buy this game.

As you run through the levels, the game is certainly not shy about throwing enemies at you. This is one of the most intense shooters around. Enemies are literally coming from every corner, and surprisingly, there's never a drop in framerate. With how decorative these environments are and things exploding every two or three seconds as well as enemies littering the screen, you'd expect there to be some slow down, there is none and the game itself moves pretty fast only adding to the intensity. It makes the game that much more fun.
loses only 1 star for the operation issue and bad sound performance , actually the sega unit itself is responsible for that ......

6571 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These 2 games are great if you like older rpg. I have the PS one games and my grandson has the Nindendo DS versions. The games have good stories and characters. The enemies are tough at times. It is your classic menu battle system and requires time to level up characters. Very enjoyable. Would highly recommend you try these is you like the older games. All the Final Fantasy series games are great, in my opinion, until you get to the PS 2, when I feel they start to lose some of the enjoyment and quality.

Highly recommend, 5 stars.
8276 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 While this is a terrific game concept with some nice features, it is far more work than play. The core of the game is a standard 4X space empire builder, with colony management, a complex tech tree, tactical space and ground combat, espionage, and diplomacy. But there is no centralized display of colony status. A building must be supplied with both power and workers in order to operate, and if it doesn't have enough of either, it will simply shut down and the game gives you no warning or announcements. You are forced to pause the game every few months and personally inspect every single colony to discover these problems. But the tech system is even worse, and has not been improved from IG1. There are three types of tech, and so you have to have three types of labs. But you can only research one invention at a time, so while you're developing a new hyperdrive in your ship labs, your ground unit and colony facility labs are sitting idle, sucking up your colony's power and workers. If you can't afford that waste, and most of the time you can't, you have to once again personally remember where you placed each one of up to 30 labs, go to the colony display for each planet on which you have a lab, and turn the idle ones off, one at a time. If you decide to develop a new building next, you have to go around and turn off all the ship labs and turn all the building labs on again. And I don't have room here to go into the game's futile diplomacy system, or the sluggish screen redraw, or the constant nagging interruptions by messages regarding random events and spies demanding orders. No offense to the other reviewers here, but only a hardcore strategy addict with a fetish for micromanagement could enjoy this game. I returned it four days after I bought it.
The basic gist of RCT is building an amusement park. However, it isn't quite as simple as it sounds. There are special objectives for each course, and to get new scenarios, you need to meet these goals.

409 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There seems to be a curse on Ace Combat akin to that on the Star Trek movies. And by that I mean that the odd numbered members of the series are forgettable, while the even numbered (save perhaps zero, but zero is the absence of value, right?) are stellar. Ace Combat 6. Awesome. Ace Combat 5. Uneven and over too quick. Ace Combat 4. Perfect. Ace Combat 3. Had half the missions removed for the U.S. release. Ace Combat 1 (Air Combat). Stone Age. And Ace Combat 2...

5561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Despite what all the critics have to say, I really like Quake 2. There's just something about it that keeps me playing it over and over. The graphics are a noticeable step above the original Quake's, and the gameplay is nice and sturdy. The missions in Quake 2 have a flowing feel to them that makes you believe you are working towards something. The sound is superb with all the explosion sound effects one would expect for this type of game, and the opening music in the first level is a great mood setter for the game. The ending is a little brief, but ID has never been known for producing storylines of epic proportions anyway. Online death match play, while not up to par with some other games of the same genre, is still quite fun and adds lots of replay value. If you're a fan of first person shooters, get Quake 2 now and pick up the mission packs while they are still available.
6247 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 *****This disclaimer is for the company who sold the PC game thru Amazon. Its listed as "Complete w/Big Box & Manual". It arrived as a regular PC/DVD Rom movie box plastic case (not a "big" game box), and NO manual inside the "case"! You might as well order the game in jewelcase version and save the money,rather buy from this one. Amazon I hope you somehow force this company GAMEWIZARD to change its listing.

3641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OK, I am going to start off by saying, as you might have guessed from the title, I've played this BRILLIANT game in the ARCADE, not on the Playstation. But then again, who cares?! It's the same game and it's equally fun! This is among the best fighting games I've ever played. I love it, I love it, I love it. So many cool characters are in this game, including nearly all of my top 10 favorite heroes and villains, as well as the best(and only)neutral fighter here, Yoshimitsu. Anyway, here it goes. This game is about trying to protect the world from a soul eating ogre. On to the pros and cons.
All in all, FF 8 is a VERY disappointing game, lacking the freedom of exploration of FF 7 and 9. It's a game on wheels, which isn't a bad thing in itself, but when the plot and characters are so forgettable, it becomes a major problem. Steer clear.
4085 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Why not buy this version you ask? You may be saying to yourself I'll buy this one and see if I like it then I'll buy the expansions, but I guarantee if you buy this game, three months later want BOTH expansion packs as well as Rollercoaster II. So spend the extra ten bucks now and get the two expansions.
9268 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not as good as Secret of Mana, but it is quite fun to play. A bit difficult for my liking, so I've never completed the game.

Zelda Ocarina of Time is a classic. Five stars plus. Matter of fact this is the best Zelda release I have ever played. And I have played them all.
Graphically this game is a wonder. Easily one of the best PSX games of all time (PSM rated this #3 for the top 50 PSX games). It is (gasp) 2D, almost unheard of today. In truth however that made this game even more fun and graphically amazing than before.
7752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 had to have it i grew up on this system and game and this took me back i love it
6353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is always a pleasure, especially in current era of 3D shoot'em up games, when a new adventure game in "old style" [2D, point-and-click interface] emerges. It is even better pleasure if it is a good adventure game. And Nightlong by Team 17 definitely belongs to this category.
If anyone expected any story out of VR Missions, you'd probably wonder what they were thinking, because VR Missions doesn't have a story. The game is exactly what it says it is: VR Missions. Metal Gear Solid VR Missions consist of over 150 missions. At first you can only do very basic missions, including the same ten that were included in Metal Gear Solid. As well as training with weapons. The more missions you complete, the more that will open up, including missions that can get into the bizarre, like fighting a giant soldier and super soldiers.
Story: The story starts off with Link having a bad dream about a mysterious man and woman. Then Link is summoned to the Great Deku Tree where he fills Link in on his quest and it goes from there. Even though it can be a quite simple story, it's just a huge epic story that kept me interested.
Other than that, another top rate Nintendo game for a system that belongs in front of everyone's tv.
3947 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I do not understand why people hate on this for, I love it, turok needs this style.
This game is RECOMMENDED. It isn't a masterpiece by any means, but it is still a solid game that any platformer fan would enjoy. The camera needs some reworking, the boss battles need something to differentiate them, and the game needs to last. However, it is still great.
Despite all that strangeness, it's pure Mario action in the palm of your hand.
Gray: All buttons worked but the analog stick and all of the C buttons went haywire and fired constantly.
3085 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 All right, listen up all you so-called video game "experts" and "critics!" Let me give you the lowdown on Final Fantasy VII.
All in all, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is a must-have game for Tomb Raider fans and for anyone who enjoys computer games in general. But be warned, this game requires a lot of time, effort and determination. If you want to get everything right on the first time, you're best off not buying this game because you'll just hate it. Yet for people who want an exciting, suspenseful, thrilling, action-packed blockbuster of a video game, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is the game for you! Buy it now from Amazon!
2. Some mechanical levers/controls respond correctly only if you move the mouse VERY slowly.
Cons:
6217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is great gaming at its core. Its simplicity and all-around great design is great on the eyes. The games that it holds are some of the best that have ever been created. Controller is comfortable and easy to get used to. (And it's incredibly unique) What I noticed right away and actually frogot about as a kid is that when you press power, the game starts right up. There are no menus on the console. It's not an entertainment system; it's a gaming console exclusively. If you like quick start-ups, no loading screens, and pretty graphics, then pick one of these up. They're classic and hard to find for a good price. And the games are also hard to find for good prices, too. Definitely worth some money, though because this is the pinnacle of gaming systems.
5188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is a reason many(like me)consider this game to be the best psx,nay,best game ever. In fact there are many reasons. One reason is the incredible story. The story is phenominal. You play as Solid Snake infaltrating a base in Alaska. Your mission is to save to very important hostages and destroy the most dangerous weapon on Earth,Metal Gear. The voice actors are fantastic. Nothing short of superb. The story is loaded with wise sayings,interesting characters,humor(a little),romance,sadness,and fear.
The game is rather short, 15-20 hours, but the developers thoughtfully included all kinds of modification tools with the game, and already you can download all kinds of tweaks to the game, like Kung-Fu Payne and Terminator Payne.
8505 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
Shenmue 1&2
1145 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS IS THE MOST ABSOLUTE SUPERIOR GAME EVER MADE! You have almost no limits as to what you can do and there is always another secret or trick you can learn! Not only this but there are no limits to the fun you can have with this game. I enjoy the challenges and puzzles and new items and moves you have to get. If you are going to buy a game for Nintendo 64 this is the game to buy!!!
After applying the 1.05 patch, played through the entire game, flawless.
However despite my efforts I had barely scratched the surface of this truely time consumming game. There was still areas to explore and items to find.
Not only does "Final Fantasy VI" have the biggest cast of playable characters in any Final Fantasy, also one of the best. Almost each character gets a good deal of background story and development, to an extent that one could say that there is no real main character, Locke and Terra could fit the bill as well as others like Celes, Edgar, or Cyan. Its no surprise that they have an almost legendary status among fans by now, and its highly likely that each of them will grow close to you over the time youll actually worry about their well being and their story. Especially the second half of the game gives you an amount of freedom in terms of character development that is rarely seen in any RPG, but I won't spoil it for you, just as I won't spoil any other details about the story for those who haven't played it yet.
The cut-scenes, taken right from the in-game engine, work flawlessly with gameplay to give the feeling of playing a movie more than a game. The player MUST use stealth tactics, or he/she won't survive the first level, which is (believe it or not) the easiest one. The game gets progressively harder, but you never get discouraged enough to just give up. It keeps bringing you back for more. There are weapons a-plenty, and just because you won't be using them much (if you're smart,) you better get anything you can. If you don't like using your head, you won't like this game. One last tip: the CODEC system used to communicate with others is a valuable too against bosses. Use it whenever you don't know what to do.
BTW, stop being putzes and review the game fairly and in its own context of time. It looks really dumb when someone starts comparing it to something so far advanced it's not even fair. Perspective, my children. Get some.
7312 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mega Man 8 truly deserves a play from not only Mega Man fans, but fans of side-scrolling games in general. The game takes what was good about the previous games and creates genuinely striking experience. With well used 32 bit graphics, an enjoyable soundtrack, and that same fluent Mega Man gameplay it's a worthy inclusion to the series that seems to be sorely overlooked now.
The desighn is great. The level desighn in Power stone is awesome.
However, when you start up the game, the graphics amaze you. The whole sparkling mouse, the smooth graphics on all the select screens, and then the game play graphics. Simply amazing. Barrels are not just background decoration, they are all discreet individual objects. Rocks, skulls, you name it - all individual objects that can be moved around.
The goal is simple a player rolls 5 dice (three consecutive times) to develop a "hand" based on poker rules. For instance, three 6's = 18 points or 1,2,3,4,5 = Full Straight. In each attempt you get to choose which dice to keep or put back in the cup for another roll. The wonderful thing about Yahtzee is that even though it is a game of playing the odds, luck plays an enormous part in this game, thus even a new person can destroy an experienced player with just a little luck.
1) Harvesting system isn't the best ever, but works well on a good map
Released during WCW's heyday (and roughly a few months before WCW's eventual downfall), the game showcases an astoundingly deep roster for game that came out in the 90s. A total of 63 WCW/nWo wrestlers were divided up into different factions: WCW 1 (main-event wrestlers), WCW 2 (mid-card wrestlers), WCW 3 (opening match wrestlers), WCW 4 (Cruiserweight wrestlers), nWo White, nWo Red, and Raven's Flock. Further, there were roughly a dozen or so other wrestlers listed under the imaginary EWF and DAW leagues included in the game; these wrestlers were modeled after Japanese wrestling stars but had their likenesses changed to avoid copyright issues.
Overall, this is the best Street Fighter game I've ever played, and the best fighting game in general that I've ever played. It's easily worth 5 stars, perhaps with a half a star removed for not using the classic tunes.
RE2 was the first title in the series I played, and from the get-go, I was hooked. When I say that it's the best RE title to date, I'm not joking, as just about everything from the first game went through a MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT. I'm very glad that Capcom ditched their original plans so that a better sequel could be made. Now I'm not trying to turn this review into just gushing praise, but honestly there's so much to like about this game that beats out the original.
1100 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There always comes along trend setters that some how cannot be bettered! Zelda is one of those games ,its challenging enjoyable adventurous fun!!!!!!!!!!! i loved every minute of it even though at times i wanted root out my hair i have no regrets having this game in my collection,one of the best games ever on 64.
4019 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This must be what they call a pageturner in the world of books. You just can't stop playing it. It has one of the best story lines in a game ever, and without doubt the best story in a FPS ever. This one is going to be hard to follow up, and it must be seen as the new standard in FPS, from now on you'll be talking about Half-Life clones, instead of Doom and Quake clones.
Music: It's nice. The individual tracks all fit the levels to which they correspond. There are many moments of awesome within the soundtrack.
The different civilizations are fantastic. The advantages and disadvantages of each one make the game interesting and balanced, although some civilizations are better (overall) than others. I mean, really, who doesn't love (and equally hate) the Longbowmen? The War Elephants? The Woad Raiders? The Throwing Axeman?
~Ripper-A gun take shoots razor blades out!
Graphics: The graphics were high quality back in 1997. They still are surprising for today's standards, They work and are eye appealing. 7/10
The levels are well laid out with different scenarios. You don't build every park from scratch. To win a level you have to use a combination of Park Value, Number of Customers, Money in and Happiness of customers.

similar to final fantasy VII, the setting is in the future (irritating downside, as insanely advanced technology is not that fantasy-like), but this is a mediocre downside of the game
1940 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Resident Evil 2 was one of the best Psx games back in the mid 90's as it had exclusive rights to Sony. The game was the sequal to one of the best Survival Horror game ever. Does this do better then its prediseccor?...YES. OH HELL YES. The game is a solid good game. The story line is really entertaining but it was more of a sci fi then a horror story. I won't spoil the story for you but the game is 2 discs and you control 2 characters(serpartly) in the game. One is a cop named Leon Kennedy and the other is female after her missing brother Chris(who was in RE1)and the two end up meeting eachother and the rest you can figure out..
9011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Obviously this game is a classic. When I received the game it worked perfectly find and it was in good condition.
8503 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This Playstation classic uses the basics of strategic combat from such masterpieces as the Shining Force series, and adds new levels of realism, such as elevation, concealment, and facing.
A must play.
Before WWF War Zone, you had WWF In Your House which, to this day, is a game that completely stands apart from other WWE wrestling games (along with WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game). Before those games you had the button-smashing delight of WWF Raw on the Super NES and Sega Genesis. Once again, the formula in those old-school wrestling games didn't stick around and overstay its welcome. Over 10 years with games just like WWF War Zone IS too much.
8999 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Can't believe cool spot had his own game. This little mascot for 7UP, was hilarious in the soda beverage commercials, and in this game it is really fun. I remember it being really challenging, but really fun at the same time. This is one of those games that goes out of its way to test your trigger fingers and how quick you can take out enemies, jump over and onto stuff, and collect items. Its a good game and believe it or not they actually made another game about this crazy little guy called Spot goes Hollywood! Yes you read it correctly it sounds like a joke but that is correct. Like the Toejam and Earl games the 2nd one is way different than the 1st but with really good game-play and even better graphics. Recommend both to anybody who likes old school shooter-adventure games.
Haven't tired the system yet to see if it's working but i have it mainly more for my collection. Will be ordering again from seller.
7947 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game
9589 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first got this game, I thought it was just a Final Fantasy game where you can just have custom characters. I was wrong. This game is much more. I've played several other Final Fantasy games and this is better than those I've played.
If you remember the final stage of the NES version I'll just say that this game's equivalent stage is designed in the same spirit, but fits the context of the other stages much better. The final NES stage was just too far out there. This game tones it down a notch and it just seems to fit.
By the way, this game comes with a RED cartridge.
4173 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft Battle Chest is a great addition to gaming. I love this game. I just bought it to get ready to play Starcraft 2. I would definitely recommend the game.
First of all, the flow of the 3D graphics are quite realistic. The character is an adorable baby dragon, with all the mannerisms of what a baby dragon might be, as if the creators modeled him from puppies & kittens, which is probably what they did.
The Best Game Ever:
4925 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Man, this game was mysteriously creepy. So worth the time, money and brainwork. Makes you wish you could see all the characters faces up close~for more effect. I didn't know if I was going to be really scared or just creeped out. Creeped out won. A great story line and wonderful game for Adventures. Its about a man that has no idea where he is, why or even who he is...he just wakes up in a Sanitarium......enjoy the journey to this "crazy" world.
2161 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Now your playing with power
7704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great! And it came MUCH faster than I thought it would. (even in standard shipping). Always loved renting this game as a kid
In just a couple of years the following classics started out on Dreamcast: Resident Evil Code Veronica
a little sci fi for me though. And what was up with turok...
9877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love this game my favorate in the series followed closely by sonic 2 the only gripe is the bonus levels they can be a little confusing at times but regardless get this game any way you can totally worth it
Graphics: Good in 800x600 resolution (which you can only get with the Lord of Destruction expansion). Monsters, scenary, spell effects, and combat all look convincing. It looks as good as the Baldur's Gate games. The cut-scenes are the best I've ever seen.
4046 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was created by Chris Sawer, one of my favorite game designers, just as the world-building craze, continuing the "sim" concept, was at its climax. He designed under the doctrine that small development teams were best, and the only people he ever worked with in terms of development were a graphics artist and a musician. And what amazing artwork comes out of this notion! This should be ranked as one of the best games of all time, and, along with few others, the best on pc. It is quirky and imaginative, and full of unique flavor. And the game play varies, as well: for each map, you have to adapt and play differently. This might come hard to more current gamers, though: you only need to know how to kill one Nazi to kill some more. For most of us, though, this ought to keep you riveted to the computer screen! Don't start playing if you don't have time to spare...
The levels are not very large. Not much scenery and not much to discover. There's a few hidden places you can find to explore, but for the most part it's very limited.
As the game goes on you will control from one to five meccs, then control a beautiful reaper woman who allies with the meccs and in the end you will become the allmighty Kabuto...but I won't tell you who that guy is, even if it's easy to figure it out.
9666 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Such nostalgia. Still worked, even when i brought out my old nintendo 64. Can't seem to get enough of it.
A bugs life does have a few nice points. Some of the levels are neat, such as the boss battles. The final battle with Hopper at the end of the game is very cool. The music is by far the best part of the game, almost all of the tunes are very memorable and addictive. But beyond that, the things that try to enable replay value almost destroy the game. Rent before you buy. Did I mention that Flick never shuts up?
8546 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Spidey's new adventure on the S-NES was a very good gamewith an exciting plot and they remebered his Spidey sense too! But the X-Men were a bad touch. It could had been more exciting by taking them out and putting in Venom, Doc Ock, Carnage,The Lizard, The Green Goblin, Scream, and Shocker.
Every single game I've played, I loved. Each time I finish one, I'm like, "THAT was the best game I've played in my life!" Then, I finish the next one. And I'm like, "No, THAT was the best game I've played in my life!" And so on and so on.
Now for the cons: 1) Gameplay types. With Domination, Assault, and Last Man Standing, UT is the clear winner in the variety category. In a nutshell Q3 offers straight deathmatch, with 4 CTF maps, for kicks. I believe more attention should have been made to CTF. 2) The bots: boy are they bad. I know a lot of time was spent by the Quake team, but it just didn't work. The bots in UT are much better. Try playing capture the flag with these bots. You'll be heading for the Multiplayer arenas in no time. 3) There is no classic style single player in the game. There is a "ladder" match, but I completed that in about 2 hours. Playing this may help beginners, but there is nothing like playing online, with other human players, and ping times in the 200's. As they say, you'll need real life experience.
Perfect Dark
1152 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best N64 (R.I.P.) game I have ever played. It's full of vast 3D worlds, cool characters, and has a deep storyline. The worlds are huge. Take Hyrule Field, A place which has absolutely nothing to do with the story but going there to get new places, is soooo much fun. When you aren't doing anything and are just playing around, you can have hours of fun running around hunting skullkids and running from those flying spikey flower thingies. When you're an adult, you can hunt poes (ghosts) in the field and get rewards and stuff for it! Anyway, the story is about a boy named Link who is destined to save his home world, Hyrule, from A powerful wizard. The wizard wants to get ahold of the Triforce, an ancient artifact which has the power to alter the world. He does, and changes the world to a "hell". Link then has to go through many dungeons and meet many people and eventully save his land of Hyrule and return peace. That's about it. Peace.
Resident Evil series is a superb series and anyone who loves survival horror will love it. I personaly think it's one of the best gaming series out but I don't have ALL the resident Evil games.. The only ones I have are the one that go with the story like the ones I have are
The story is supurb and the voice acting was top notch. It's very difficult to do a dramatic yet humorous story, but somehow this game pulls it off. Grim Fandango could yank me to the brink of tears one moment and cause me to almost bust a gut another.
It's a must own title back then and a real treat to play nowadays if you still have the Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance SP. It was cool to bring around the original game with you (with the ability to save anywhere) but the extra modes and content really made it worth its price. Track down a copy because it's one game you will never ever get tired of playing.
Another thing, which might keep you worried, is defense against foreign invasions. Setting up a military will help you against enemy attacks.
9795 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident evil 2 is when resident evil was actually a survival horror unlike resident evil 5 and 6 resident evil 2 is actually hard has alot more puzzles and you play as Leon my favorite character,the game play is alot more about survival then just killing zombies sometimes you just gotta learn to run from a fight. The music is perfect. The graphics were great for a PS1 game. Overall i really enjoy this game and if you loved resident evil 4 there's a chance you'll like this!
Later...
1873 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'll recommend Spyro to anyone, fun enemies and worlds, and awesome concepts. Graphics aren't the best of course, but the gameplay is so addicting, collecting gems and freeing your fellow dragons. Must-have for a Playstation 1 collection.
738 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun gift for gamers because it's nostalgic. This is for N64 consoles and it is first person shooter. Has multi-player option but you beat levels playing solo.
Anyway, Diablo II is a great game. The graphics are excellent and more expansive than the first game. The sound is fantastic: awesome EAX 3D positional sound effects, believable voice acting, and outstanding music which is very similar to the original Diablo's music. If you can spare 3+ hours at a time to play the game, you'll love it. Otherwise, I think you'll find that it is still a really fun game, but a more frustrating than it had to be.
687 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played The Legend of Zelda not long after it was released. Best Christmas gift ever! I do not think there is a single negative thing I could say about this product. It has the classic adventure story: traveling across far out lands to save the princess, all the while discovering yourself along the way. When you are not in dungeons or fighting evil characters, you can do a lot of fun things like explore towns, go horseback riding, archery, hurt chickens and then try to avoid their gang attack, play your ocarina, go fishing and see how large of a fish you can catch, etc. There is so much variety in this game that it is impossible to get bored. Also, the music in this game is PHENOMENAL. Did you know that there is a Zelda soundtrack you can purchase? There are also some guide books and online walk throughs if you find yourself a little stuck and are in need of some helpful hints.
9816 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My hot and cold experience with Capcoms infamous Survival Horror series, Resident Evil, has been something Ive endured for years without the satisfaction of actually defeating any of the games. Its a group of games that makes it incredibly easy to become stuck, frustrated or cornered, and as a result give up altogether. Though I enjoyed the unique perspective of the first game, the integrated elements of past horror movies, and the whole premise of an underground city filled with zombies, I really had a hard time correctly rationing my ammo, my game-saving ink ribbons and my time. Its a strange marriage, a brainless, balls-out action title merged with a time consuming, brain teasing puzzle game. Capcom teases you into adopting a Final Fight mindset, then completely derails the player by halting the action altogether and throwing them coldly into a Kings Quest style, item gathering and puzzle solving mission. Thats like hopping into a Dodge Viper, pulling it out to the highway, and shifting from fifth to first without slowing down.
3690 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tekken 3 is the best 3D fighting game on the Playstation. The only game that comes close to Tekken 3 is Soul Blade. The graphics on this Playstation version suffer a little from the translation, but the gameplay is faithfully intact. There are plently of fighters to play as from the start, and even more to earn as you beat the game multiple times. The only feature which may sour gamer's experiances with this game is the unbalanced play control of a few of the characters. Even though every character has a few high damaging moves of their own, Eddy Gordo and Hwoarang are easily the cheapest characters in the game. A simple button mashing on the kick buttons with these characters can send them into a fury of kicks that can kill an opponent in just a few hits. This is very frustrating when you've spent time practicing complex combos only for someone to come along and get the same results by just mashing on buttons at random. Although with experience one can learn to block and counter those moves, so it's not too big of a problem if you practice. Aside from that, Tekken 3 is near flawless. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a Playstation.
Fun: There is some slow parts here, but most is fun. 9/10
9304 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Master... peace...
I think the game's well past its peak, but even as a solo effort it's slightly amusing.
Dana Gould returns to voice Gex, who is still amusing to listen to and Marliece Andrea plays Agent Xtra. If you're playing a PAL version Gex is played by Danny John-Jules, known for playing The Cat on BBC's Red Dwarf. The unique levels have their own set of jokes which greatly reduces the chance of repetition which was a problem with the previous games.
I love it. The graphics, the gameplay, the missions, the controls and different objects, vehicles, weapons and so on.
All in all i love it. It has a special place in my heart because of my childhood, and i thank god i was given the chance to listen to this music and just watch my dad shoot aliens up.
Each of the six levels are recognizable to people who are into X-Men...the Savage Land, the Shi'ar Empire, Excalibur's Lighthouse and Asteroid M to name most of them. The levels are interesting and well-detailed for a 16-bit game. They're also relatively big.
9527 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My dad got this game for me when it first came out and all we had was an outdated mac. At the time, I was too young to understand it and I just threw it on my shelf. A couple of years later I noticed it, pulled it out, and started playing it. Although it ran a bit slowly on the aging computer, I loved it. I loved the puzzles and the beautifully rendered frames and videos. A couple of years ago, I got a new computer, and when I saw MYST Masterpiece edition, I decided to replace my old slow mac version with the shiny new copy. I wasn't dissapointed. It's simply a wonderful, beautifully constructed game. My only complaint -- as I've noted in several other games, the graphics on the mac just look smoother and cleaner for some reason. But it is still an amazing game on the PC.
1751 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow amazing condition almost new!! Everything was there as listed
4417 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When this came out everyone went crazy because it was new and the games were on discs. Which is much eaiser and handier to keep clean and take places. Most people had a N64 before this and even at the same time, so they were used to the cartridges which were big and bulky and somewhat annoying. It has two memory card slots and two controller slots, and it can play compact dics so you can listen to music when your bored on your tv with your own cds. Most games on this console had good graphics back then so people thought it was amazing. They became highly addicting and very fun to play. This became the most popular system in the USA and almost everyone had one back then. Many games get scratched and broken as time goes on since they are old but try to keep them in their own cases they came in so they will play better and much longer with out the annoying freezing and skipping of the game. I am saying this because many games will not play or work anymore because of the lost case so they were just thrown around in the closet untill i finally put them in a computer case way back when....now i am more protective of the games because it is very dissapointing to find that your favorite game will not work anymore and you have to go through the trouble to buy them online because stores do not keep or sell them anymore. This is a very good console that i would purchace if you do not have a ps2 or just to have this original masterpiece to bring back memories!!!
1134 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rules! It was very well conceived. The storyline is good, and the gameplay is awesome. I rented it before, and found out it is a game to buy and play. Trust me, you will get your money's worth! Good graphics, excellent sound scores, huge worlds, and good characters pull this game together. I am yet to find a game that matches it's surperiority, even Majora's Mask wasn't as good. I've beaten it several times through, and sometimes wish that I didn't know it like the back of my hand.
2143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Needed this for my N64 to play a game, bought it. It works
Pointing a gun (plastic or not) at the screen and blasting away is a wonderfully primal, visceral video game experience, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better excuse to do it than this. The high level of difficulty may turn some people off, but for those of us who can only go for so long without shooting something, it's a real treat as well as a great reason to own a Dreamcast.
j-nf
5117 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product was a great gift. It was well received and got here right on time as expected. Would buy again.
None of the fatalities you'll see from the new guys are original, all are merely 3D updates of MK2 and MK3. I found Cyrax's "blowing up the world" move terribly lame, as will you. And suprisingly, Baraka's victims don't bleed when he impales them. Otherwise, you'll find all of the characters present in the home games from last year, including the console-only Goro. Also, savvy players can unlock Noob Saibot and Sektor, via secret codes (don't tell).
Overall, there is a lot to do in terms of gameplay for Resident Evil 2 and it's one of the best video games ever made, hands down. If you've had the misfortune of never playing this game before, then don't waste any more time: play this, now! It's fun, it's scary and it's got great drama in its storyline.
3544 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 after the fantastic Saturn, sega took a break and started to develop a system to go head to head with Sony's upcoming Playstation 2 system.
8402 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!
The cutscenes are fantastic, Lucasarts knows how much gamerslike these little rewards for their work and effort and the opening sequence is nothing short of spectacular.
4313 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can one say when a game sucks you in so completely that time seems to collapse in on itself and become meaningless? Homeworld is one those rare games that is so solid that it really evolves as you play it. It does this by providing the player with a rock-solid background story backed up by superior game play. I highly reccommend that players READ the manual before playing, because it gives you a tremendous amount of race history that builds up the mystique for the race that you become responsible for. Gameplay is relatively easy to master, and the learning curve is pretty flat. It takes some getting used to the 3D battle field and selecting ships to attack, and the fact that you cannot pause the action to assign targets to attack is annoying, but beyond that if you practice you will get the hang of it quickly. I say visual and aural feast because it is! The ship design is excellent, reminescent of Babylon 5 and Dream Pod 9's Mekton sourcebooks for the Jovian Chronicles RPGs. The music is both subtle and awe inspiring at the same time with its majestic and powerful choral accompaniments that tug at your emotions as sure as the importance of seeing the Mothership and her precious cargo safely to the homeworld. If you've come here to expect blood splattering on walls or pouring out windows, inconveniencing passersby with the spray, you will be disappointed. This game is not 'extreme' nor does it 'kick @ss', instead it inspires and propagates a whole host of emotions bordering on an intensity rarely seen in a game before. The story is equal to that of such epics as Starcraft & Broodwar, and Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight (I know it's an FPS and not an RTS, but I'm talking about story not game type). It makes getting the Mothership home an imperative and not just a reason to see the end cut scene. Additionally, YES has performed the title track for the game, and itself is a nine minute epic, (as is most of Yes' music), that compliments the game. When a supergroup like Yes pays attention to a video game, it must be something special. HOMEWORLD is for anyone who loves science fiction and good gaming all rolled into one.
- Everything -especially the bosses such as the snowman- look much smaller compared to the Super NES version. I thought I was imagining this at first but upon playing the Super NES version last night and studying the details carefully, I realize that yes, the snowman and numerous other enemies and platform layouts are definitely smaller in the Genesis version. No doubt everything was shrinked to make room for the extra level called Intestinal Distress.

4494 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Sid Meier is a true artist in the realm of software, but with each new addition to the Civilization family the games become more oriented toward conflict and less fun to play. In AC the Believers will appear on your borders within the first 50 turns and you will never really be at peace again. Forget about the fun of managing a nation: this is a non-stop Darwinian struggle to keep your head above water. (Some players might like this, but I find it tedious.) There's no point in trying to negotiate with other factions because they'll just turn right around and violate your territory or declare war. Then after you have spent decades trying to build up your industry, when your output reaches a certain level the planet itself will being to attack you with an inexhaustible supply of mindworms. *Every* game of AC is a race to achieve the victory conditions before the planet itself defeats you, and there's not much sense of satisfaction in that. Add to this the fact that the game runs unbearably slowly. You will spend more time watching units go plod-plod-plod across the screen than you will playing. I really wanted to like this game, but after a while its defeatist atmosphere and tedious play just got too wearisome. Let's hope that in his next game Side remembers that growing an empire is more fun and challenging than beating one.
I have rated the game 5 stars as that is the rating from those that play it. I do not feel OS problems are a reason to rate the game badly.
6085 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Rayman is perhaps one of the finest platformers that ever came out. There's a reason why this game has been re-released for some times (Not as much as Rayman 2, but still). That reason is...everything.
7156 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have an s video imput, you should get this cable. I have a 27 inch panasonic tv, which i bought for s video, and the diference was incredable. Don't buy the cheaper brands,(madcatz,interact,etc.)they void the ps2's warenty and may even damage it. It is a good cable for the price of 30 dollars, but if you get lucky you may find one at best buy, they had some opened ones for 15(i guess people bought them and relized they didn't have s-video capability). All in all it is a must have it you have s-video imputs.
This must be the best Movie spinoff of all time. The games mirror the movies so much. From the sounds the Aliens and Predators make to the way the Predator uses his medikit. Every aspect of the movie is there. The marine levels are the scariest I have ever seen. Aliens appear from nowhere and with surround sound I guarantee you will jump in fright in no time.

An excellent, smart and truly terrifying horror thriller adventure that was released in September of 1997 and earned a small cult following since following in the wake of Resident Evil's success, it's survival horror at it's finest. It's a point and click game that is one of a kind for a PS1 game as you don't have to have a PS mouse for it. In this game you play a series of different characters in different scenarios so far as you have to survive trying to fight a maniac and even find clues which can help you on your way to live. The graphics aren't impressive but the story is quite good, the game is in fact influenced by Halloween to Dario Argento's cult fave Phenomena to even 1981's slasher fave The Burning, this gory and terrifying game is one of my fave games since i first played it at age 16 when it came out. In fact it's so scary i even had a nightmare about Scissorsman once when i was 17 that it felt real and him chasing me in that nightmare.

9438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even to this day, SMB 2: Yoshi's Island is a great game with excellent replay-ability. The pastel graphics fit the game nicely from scene to scene, and the music is toe-tapping and catchy. It was nice to be able to expand on Yoshi after Super Mario World and actually have him as a playable character in his own game. For enthusiasts, I highly recommend getting this game for their Super Nintendo system. The game holds up well, however, it is fairly easy in my opinion.

If getting through the many challenging levels, and trying to stay alive isn't enough for you, there are many, many hidden secrets for you too find, also. Some are easy to find, some are pretty challenging to find.

You once again take control of Kirby and this time, a form of dark matter has taken over Dream Land. Kirby and his new animal friends take off to stop the dark matter in its track by exploring new levels filled with old and new enemies. Just like the first Kirby game, his main power is to inhale everything and then spit it back out at enemies. This time, he can now absorb the powers of certain enemies to make it his own and he can team up with his animal friends Rick, Kine & Coo. And just like the first game, Kirby can pick up health items to restore his energy and 1-ups to earn extra lives. But to make it to the villain of the entire game, you'll have to collect rainbow drops from all 7 levels. After you complete each level, the game will automatically save your progress and you have unlimited continues should you use up all your lives before you complete the game. As an added treat, when you pop in the game on the Super Game Boy peripheral, it has its own colors and border screen to use during your play time.
One of my favorite additions is just how Miyamota and company added to the lenght. One legitimate weakness of "SMB3" is simply how short so many of the levels are - many times, you complete the level just when you feel you are about halfway done. Even Miyamoto commented on this on one of the reissues of "Super Mario Bros. 3", asking his developers if the game's original levels were really that short. Once a level is beaten, you cannot go back. No so with "Super Mario World". Indeed, due to the secret exits and alternate paths, Nintendo encourages you to go back and explore levels already beaten, and the levels themselves are consistently much longer than those found in "SMB3".
In short, I liked most of everything about this game: from the opening sequence to the laser-aim pistol to the infrared vision (analogous to that found in Alien vs. Predator) to the new abilities the hero boasts.
Like a lot of people my decision to buy a N64 was based on the Mario 64 commercials.
The weapons in the game are what really sell. Before I got this game for myself, I had played it over at a friend house, and when he busted out a damn MINI-GUN to mow down a raptor, I was like "HOLY CRAP!" Not only are the weapons awesome, but the animations of the weapons firing are the best I've seen in any FPS, and the first of it's kind, back then. Shells pop out of the shotgun and go flying. Bullet casings spit out of the mini-gun at a rapid rate. The kickback of some of the weapons is so real, you almost feel like you're actually firing the guns. Hell, if you run out of ammo, you still have your bow and arrow, or Tek Bow (with exploding arrows)

3392 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're a hardcore gamer, the Dreamcast is a must-have. Revolutionary when it first came out, it still holds up great to this day given you can find the right games for it, which I recommend researching for. When reading discs it makes a noisy grinding sound which is an annoyance to some (to me it's charming in a weird way), but if you can look past this minor inconvenience or just wear headphones to block it out, the Dreamcast is otherwise perfect.

His daughter Tikal enters a shrine, discovering the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, a group of mysterious emeralds with unlimited power. She befriends a peaceful entity known as Chaos, the guardian of the emeralds, as well as the Chao. Despite warnings from Tikal, Pachacamac and the tribe run into the shrine. However, Chaos transforms into Perfect Chaos, destroying the island and killing everyone there. Following Chaos' attack, Tikal seals the entity and herself inside the Master Emerald.

Realizing he is being duped, Manny reluctantly joins the afterlife underground and takes us in a tour de force of one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL GAME EVER PRODUCED. Immersing noirish atmosphere, detailed art-deco settings, fast Bogartian dialogs - with a subtle ironic frosting.
The controls are great, but it's quite hard to bounce off walls and accend higher, and unlike Metroid Fusion on GBA there are no directions what so ever to tell you where to go, so it took me a while to find my way around in the game. But there is no doubt that this is an excellent game, but I suggest purchasing it at a local game store.
You can still buy one at a very reasonable price(try to get Revision 0 or Revision 1 version of the console if you can), and not many games for it are in that 'can't afford at all' price range. It is very easy to set this up, and it will usually only come with the standard composite cables. There are a number of options to make your Dreamcast games look better, but be realistic, and realize you won't be getting modern console level graphics. But don't worry too much. A dreamcast with just the standard composite cables will still look really good on a modern flat screen/hd screen. :)
try THAT out first.

7782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A Link to the Past is my first Zelda game also my top favorite Zelda game. A Link to the Past had the best graphics I ever seen and the best dungeons I ever played. The creators stay true to their fans button smashing and directional smashing like the first and second Zelda games, but the future games of Zelda will change to a crappy stylus touch. A Link to the Past had many video game awards including Top 100 Video Games of All Time. A Link to the Past is better than Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. If you prefer old school controls than stylus touch, this is the one to buy.
5663 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Personally, I love the game. For me it is a stress releaver. sit down, play fast, and shoot stuff. The graphics are intense, the game play outstanding, and the sounds...wow. This game is not for people who don't like multiplayer, obviously. Oddly enough, it is a stratagy game. I have found so many times, that the good players are the ones that outsmart the other ones. Duh you say. But many complain of the simplicity. "oh, all you do is run around and shoot". If you do that, then you will get a rocket down your throat. It is a great, fast paced quick thinking game. In my opinion, it is much better than Unreal. I think the graphics are much better, it runs better, character design is infinatly better, and so are the levels, and weapons. Try them both. If you do, I think you will agree.
8257 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mega Man X, the first in the series, combines the best of the original Mega Man series while fusing it with its own futuristic style. This is one of the first Super NES games I ever played and will forever be one of the best. The music, graphics, and storyline, ALL of it is superb (the "Ryu cheat" in this was a nice touch)! While future X games were good (up until X4), none of them ever quite had the charm that this one possesses (maybe it was intended to "pass the banner" from the original series onto its next generation, so to speak.). A MUST-HAVE!
Sound-Music only plays at certain points in the game, but when it does, it well suits the atmosphere. The voice acting is good, and the sound effects are nice, as well.
Of course, the graphics are not on par now days but it features some of the best for its time. The way the game is set up it is revolutionary- sexy ladies, Snake smokes so you can see the lazers, Psycho Mantis- nuff said (don't want to create any spoilers for those whom didn't play the game) but the way to beat him would stump anyone the first time through since it involves messing with your playstation hardware literally or else he is invincible.
-The graphics looks like a bunch of blocks put together (the character models) which in my personal taste makes the game very hilarious!
9093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This sequel of Final Fight clearly demonstrates the creativity and versatility of Capcom's programmers and writers. The extra moves given to the characters in the game are awesome and devastating to their opponents. Guy and Haggar are the best fighters of the four to choose from. The other two, Dean and Lucia, are good utility fighters, but not as good as Guy and Haggar. In addition to the excellent fighting techniques, I like the ability to choose a different path to the end boss. This is unique for the era in which this game emerged. Worth playing over and over again. Check it out!
Example (not verbatim): The Meccs, after blowing up a prison, go to look for their friend Timmy, a smartie. They find a injured smartie there who says Timmy was his 'singing partner'. SMARTIE: Yes, we sung many a song before they took him...those were the days. BORJOYZEE(Timmy's grandfather): Now listen, you, tell me where they've taken him or you'll be feeling the end of my stick! SMARTIE: Oh, yes, was that another song? There were so many.. Borjoyzee hits him viciously with his stick on his exposed brain while the Meccs wince.
Fast forward 10 years later, and I've picked up video games as my new hobby. After getting a Wii, a 360, a PS3 and a PS2, the collector and retro-gaming fan in me wanted to add a Dreamcast to my video game stock. The Dreamcast is a great piece of video game history and still offers great gaming to enthusiasts like me, yet the high price tag of yesterday's technology will no doubt discourage mainstream interest.
ok, why did i give it only 4 stars ?

"Thief," happily, avoids the pitfalls of each genre, while borrowing the best qualities from them all. Like the best adventure games, the atmosphere created is so total you can't help but be lost in it. Yet it's not just posh backgrounds and surround sound moodiness: it's a game of strategy. The goal here is to steal, not to kill, and that makes your choices entirely more calculated than is common in action games. If you kill someone, you have to worry about how much noise he'll make in death. You'll have to hide the body. And you'll have to douse the lights so that he won't be able to see and fight back more effectively. It's frequently easier--and smarter--to just walk away than to kill.
The exploration aspect of a Metroid game is always a very important thing. Maybe even the MOST important thing. Without the ability to explore a huge planet, there's not much left in the way of adventurousness.
-I think that there should have been a way to switch back and forth between characters at the stage select screen. Fortunately, this problem is remedied in X5 and X6. It's not really that big of a deal, though.
9387 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game didn't work unfortunately. Shame too, It was one of my favorite games on the SNES.
4478 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've owned this game for many years.. so long I don't even remember .. pre-2000. To the best of my memory, this game occurred when Sid and the Civ people were having a bit of falling out.. so Sid moved to Fireaxis and produced this game which built into it many of the "improvements" that he forsaw for Civ.. it was in some ways a "pointer" to CIV III and some of the changes to occur there.
5726 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I first got in to Ultima thanks to my dad buying Ultima III: Exodus for a then-newly bought Atari 800XL back in 1985. Remembering this was the 1980s, I got hooked on the game rather quickly, and in 1986, I was able get Ultima IV for the same computer and found it even more challenging. After that, I wasn't able to get any more Ultimas, mainly bacause Ultima IV was the final Ultima made available on the Atari 8-bit, and I never was able to get the first two. Far more recently (in 2004)bought the Ultima Collection CD package and I am not one bit disappointed. It's nice they included a player reference card for all the games included, so you know the commands, how to read runes, answers to questions someone might ask you on Ultima VI, VII: The Black Gate and VII: Serpent Isle, and other important tips. My complaint is they forgot to mention the abilities (like strength, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, etc.) of the humans, fuzzies, elvies, dwarves, etc. on Ultima III like the original packaging did. They also included an Ultima atlas for all eight of the Ultimas, although Ultima II would be easiest to find things since it was set right here on Earth. There is one drawback, and that Ultima III and IV both lack music on this version (III had music for the Atari 8-bit, IV didn't, although music was featured on the Commodore C-64 version). Ultima III, if you were lucky to own the Atari 400/800/XL/XE or the Commodore 64, was the very first Ultima to introduce music, so it's a bit strange to not hear music when you play this PC collection. For those raised on PC games of the 1990s and 2000s, many will be turned off by the crude graphics. Ultima II and III particularly show their age (Ultima I included here is not the original from 1980, but the 1986 remake from Origin in which the graphics were updated to Ultima IV standards). But if you grown up in the 1980s, like myself, the graphics will come as no surprise. Ultima I and II don't take very long to win. In fact on Ultima II, it isn't even necessary to explore dungeons or towers to win, or even visit every planet (although it's nice to, because there are more towns and castles to explore, but there is one planet that is a must to visit in order to win). Dungeons on Ultima I, however, are crucial to winning the game, especially if a king from a certain castle tells you to kill a certain creature (like a liche, balron, gelatinous cube, etc.). Ultima III was the first to include a multi-player party system (up to four players), plus a maximum hit point system (where you need to go to a healer to heal), and a separate battle scene. Ultima IV featured better graphics because you don't get cyan and magenta vegetation and water, and this was the very first Ultima you don't kill an evil ruler (like Mondain, Minax, or Exodus) to win. Ultima V-VII continue to use the same Britannia, with each of the series becoming more realistic (V introducing the day and night cycle, for example, and VI and onward featuring more 16-bit Super NES style graphics). Ultima VIII had been the most reviled of the series, many named it "Super Avatar Brothers" because of needing to hop over platforms to go places. To me, the game isn't bad and the graphics are stunning, for 1994 standards. Ultima VIII was the first Ultima since II to feature only a single player. There are drawbacks to this collection. You must run any Ultima after VI through MS-DOS. Mo-Slo, which is luckily included, is needed for all the Ultimas except VIII, and depending on your system, even Mo-Slo won't work right, as it might end up being a bit choppy. Ultima II works best if you download a program to make it more Windows-friendly. Akalabeth, the 1979 precursor to Ultima is also included in this package. Luckily they made this program PC and Windows friendly, no need for Mo-Slo here. Basically Akalabeth is only a historical curiosity, there don't seem to be much here except go in dungeons and kill monsters, particularly the ones Lord British tells you to kill. Anyway, despite a few drawbacks, and if you're feeling a bit nostalgic for your childhood days of playing Ultima, or if you're an Ultima fan with a curiosity about the game's history, this is the collection to get.

7531 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 These Yoshis are so cute. You pick what color Yoshi you want and then go through different levels eating fruits and avoiding dangers. I thought at first all there was to it was to eat 30 fruits and the level is over, not much of a challenge, then I realized you get more points according to what you eat... and the game saves your points automatically, with your name, so my son and I competed to get the best score, both on the entire story mode and on the trial page. Every level you complete ends up as a "sticker" on the trial page, so you can go straight to your favorite level if you like and try to beat the best score.
5715 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This may be a bit late but I just felt like putting it up after replaying this game on my PS3, the real reason most negative comments are from FF7 players is mainly because of things like the Junctioning system which takes some thinking to get it down the right way. When people say things like some parts are to hard or to easy it comes down to how smart you set up your junctioning system and alot of FF7 fanboys don't understand it and never use it throughout the whole game and rely on nothing but GFs to kill their enemies since they don't get they can Junction abilities to make Squall very powerfull and annilate enemies with a few hits , the game is actually very easy If you junction abilities the right way and you don't need money to progress really you get huge amounts of money you never use and really FF7 players don't understand the story either...lol I must admit its a bit complex but FF7 fans just say the story is horrible instead of figuring it out. I think FF7 players who really flame this game were hoping for something a little easier for them to understand and because they don't get it, all they do is just flame it. The story is actually quite beautiful away from the plot of Ultimicia. 5stars over all for the story. 4 stars for fun took one star out just because its sometimes hard to figure out your objective and spend time running back and forth from places if you aren't listening to the dialogue it may take you awhile to figure out how to progress the story since nothing gives you hints on what to do.
There are a few moves that only give damage and other moves are used to specifically knock off your opponent. This means that you cannot just push buttons at random, it requires a lot of patience and some reflexes to defeat your adversary consistently.

My main complaint with AMBER is that it was too short (I finished it in under 10 hours). You spent a lot of time setting up, and very little actually accomplishing anything. Also, the few real puzzles were very easy. Sometimes I felt like I had barely begun to look at them before I accidentally solved them. The ending was also a little abrupt. I wanted more.
I have been playing nintendo for years and I have played some of the older Zelda games before but I never owned any, as soon as I tried this game - I immediately loved it and I've played it millions and millions of times. I am so obsessed with it, I went out and pre-ordered the Wind Waker to get the Zelda bonus disc and renewed my subscription twice to Nintendo Power to get the Zelda Collector's Edition disc.
Ok, who would pass up an oppertunaty like this, unless of course you have the chance to buy the 2nd one, better, but yet not as valuable as the first, considering they DON'T MAKE THE FIRST MARVEL VS. CAPCOM ANY MORE! This game has crisp anamation, smooth gameplay, CRISTAL CLEAR sound and an awsome soundtrack that pumps you up and gets you in the mood for fighting(In the game anyway). Don't Pass up this golden oppertunity, get it if you can find it! First one also available for the Sony Playstation, and 2nd one also for the Sega DreamCast and Sony Playstation 2, and soon for Microsoft X-Box, and Nintendo Gamecube!
I like the story a lot. You won't find a deep, complex plot. You get a straight-foward, hero defeating the villian, type of story. There's a good surprise here and there, but not many. You will grow to hate the villians, and the story, while not being too complex, pulls you in and doesn't let you go until you finish the game. I guarantee you will enjoy it.
2070 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is VERY challenging and requires some brains, which is why I like it better than those other gun games. Even though I was losing, I was hooked to it and I didn't scream or curse the game either. So if you like those type of mind-challenging games, I recoomend this one. The only bad thing about it is the guns (you can run out of ammo FAST) but I gave the game 5 stars anyway.

Some of the FMVs (full motion videos) are simply amazing; I could just sit there and watch them over and over. "Final Fantasy 8" is an excellent addition to the Final Fantasy tradition. I don't remember how many hours I played this game, but every single minute was worth it; I wasn't bored once. One thing I really liked about this game was that the final battle could actually be kind of challenging; especially the first time you try when you have no idea what is going to happen. This game was a lot of fun, and I would recommend it to any fan of the series.

8698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1991, the world was introduced to what would become the pinnacle of speedy gaming: Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It was Sega's attempt to make themselves the popular gaming company after Nintendo released super Mario Bros. 3 in 1990. And I am happy to say they made a great success.
There is a good reason this game has been so well acclaimed. It has a very certain balanced purity to the play. It's hard to really pin point, but when you start killing monsters you're immediately hooked, and the leveling is very satisfying. The game has a darn near, if not right on perfect balance of leveling vs monster difficulty; you level up, get some more skills or weapons, and it's more or less just in time to take on the harder monsters. This is something even a top tier modern title like Skyrim hasn't been able to match.
? Why is Kazooie so insulting?
However, the game isn't perfect. Yes, it is a bit short, as you might have heard already, but that isn't what bothered me. The problem is that the levels get less and less fun and interesting toward the end. For example, the precipice is just repetitive and there is almost no eye candy. Another disappointing level was called "The Top of the World," which was marked by a big tree on the map. I thought I was going to exploring huge heights, but after a so-so zoom on a chair through the level, the rest was just the ugly insides of the pirate hideout. Of course, you will still have fun with this game. Platform fans should definitely check this one out.
7280 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game i have always loved this game
4. The production values are wonderful (great soundtrack, great voice cast, etc.). My one complaint is that Tim Curry gets a bit silly with his voiceover at times, but it gets better as the game progresses.
And now on to the graphics. Well,. . . The graphics are nothing new. Still problems with the Voodoo 2 series of the cards (under certain circumstances it appears that you are looking through a sheet of water.) Monsters are still ho hum, areas are um . . the same random maps. Not much difference except the "bowled" effect. Not sure why blizzard implemented this, perhaps to give the player a better "perspective"? Things kind of do look more "distant" as the object reach the edge of the screen. Whatever.
In certain situations, such as when killing a charging ram, smashing into walls, giants attacking, you will note the joystick vibrate, thereby making the gaming experience a bit more tactile.

Sonic - The levels are actually pretty straightforward. You simply go from start to finish. And boy was it fun.. It's actually pretty close to the Genesis Sonic games, but in 3D. Collect rings, bash robots, you know..The good stuff. Plus, there are some new level-specific gameplay mechanics included, like Twinkle Park's bumper car riding, and Sky Chase's airplane combat! You may as well buy this game just for Sonic alone. After all, as the title character, he has the most levels to go through.
5326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When Harvest Moon was first released, not many people thought that a game about farming would not sell well because it would seem "boring". Surprise, surprise because harvest moon was praised everywhere by sim fans that enjoyed the toils of everyday life.(Think the Sims, ten years ago). Anyways, Harvest Moon is a great game in which you must farm and ranch and dig your way to more money, crops, animals, and health/happiness in order to appease the ghost of the previous owner. I don't really know exactly who to reccommend this to. This is great for a simulation fan, but little kids might become bored, so I'd recommend this to anyone above the age of ten who has hours to spend on this great adventure.

My favorite part was when the main character, Link, pulls the Supreme Sword from the stone in the iceberg temple. Oh man! Glammondwarf (the villain) was so cool! He snuck into the Secret Realm behind Link and stole the Trueforce of Strength!! Pwned!
Doesn't require much computer or a top video card.
5823 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is probably one of the best strategy/city building games I've played in a long, long time. The possibilities and the play are seemingly endliness, and the addition of the scenario builder makes the game that much more customizable. The challenge of getting areas to develop, while keeping the gods and your residents happy, along with the rest of the kingdom will test your multi-tasking abilities. There's very little to complain about with this game, and I'm lookign forward to trying the expansion pack.
5 fatalities a pop, more than mortal combat
Sega should get into the act of what Nintendo is doing now, re-releasing popular games for the GBA. All of the old Sonic games need a re-vamp. I'd love to play Sonic 1 on the Advance. But we'll see. Along with Mario and Mega Man, Sonic proved how fun the world was when it was in 2-D.
5th Level: Downtown - Bit more challenging, but most of its easy.
9269 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you enjoy Snes style rpg's then you will love Secret of Evermore. I loved playing the game so much that I made a guide for it. I had way more fun playing this game than Secret of Mana or Chrono Trigger. I think peoples favorites are in the timing of when they played the game; having said this, this game would be fun anytime. I really liked the storyline, and the way it looked, the music, along with one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. It is a huge world with so much to do and see.
9956 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is classic and I am so happy I can add it to my retro gaming collection. A great classic from a great series.
Really I ask you, what more can you want from a game system? You can buy one for less than $50.00. The games set you back $5.00 or less in many cases. And a whole heck of a lot of them are better than what's out or coming out for the game systems everyone else is playing. This is truly a game system for the hardcore, the master game player, the collector, and even the person on a budget. I'm never getting rid of mine. I hope you buy one now and come to the same conclusion.
The price is steep, but I prefer getting it from Sega than someone else. Had they produced one of the modules that stores more like the others, I'd have gotten that from Sega as well.
The 2nd game which totally kicks butt and gets you your money's worth is the multplayer part. Anyone who is a fan of Red Faction or Halflife will love this game.
And I haven't even gone into the multi-player, the senarios, and the fact that almost EVERYTHING in the rules of the game is customizable. I believe there are about seven or eight ways to win! But of course the the harder ways take longer and give a higher score...
2965 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love Final fantasy games and they never fail to be fun. This game was a lot of fun. I wouldn't say I love it though because there are ways it could have been better. It definitly was an awesome game, especially for such an old one.
5063 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not easily scared. In fact, of every "scary" movie I've seen, nothing has come close to unnerving me besides maybe In the Mouth of Madness. This game, however, is sufficiently creepy to make me love it and hate it at the same time. It's almost masochistic playing it, but maybe I'm masochistic, because I've beaten it 6 times so far, and I plan on playing it some more. It just scares the hell out of me every time.
5 Stars
The music of the game pounds and screams, often with no consistent rhythm that coheres perfectly with the insanity of the world you have just entered.
2. Great character development.
Secrets. There are LOTS of secrets. But this adventure is also an amazing ride into gaming history nonetheless. If you dig the Metroid style 2D gaming of the newer titles (or just any game like this period), then I HIGHLY recommend you pick up this game in any form you can. (It's also available on the PSP release "Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles" and Xbox Live Arcade, thus eliminating the need to hunt down the original for high prices [9/15/09 UPDATE: I learned that the voice acting changed in Dracula X Chronicles... for the worse. So it's your call]). I also suggest (if you haven't played them already):
So basically remember this- the Genesis version focuses on sword swinging and apple chucking to stun enemies, whereas the Super NES version is all about jumping from one platform to another and stomping on the heads of enemies. I actually think the Super NES has a few memorable things going for it despite being the inferior version. One is that the game is slightly longer. It takes an extra 10 minutes to go through this game. The levels take longer to complete, and there's more of them. There's also elaborate boss fights in this game and a couple of them near the end surprisingly require a fair bit of strategy in order to take down.
In the game you play a scarred and unnamed immortal. Yes you read it right, I said Immortal. You can not die in this game(with a few exeptions). So you say, doesn't that take all the fun out of the game? No, it doesn't. After all, in all other games you just re-load a previous save untill you win the battle. The whole game is very plot-driven, and what a plot it is! There is alot of interaction with other characters around you, and the NPC's you can get to travel with you are very original indeed, this is definately not your standard, dwarf warrior or elf archer. There is a good amount of interaction between the NPC's in the group as well, and not just smalltalk, but also plotrelated conversations.

4321 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I never have really gotten bored with this game even though I have had it for about a year and a half now. The multiplayer is easily one of the best multiplayer modes on the market today. It's so easy to play and to understand for a novice, but the versitility will make even the most advanced players come up with new ideas on unit formations and strategy often. The single player is good too for an RTS and gives this game unlimited replayability.
The bad: graphics are somewhat choppy, impossible to judge jumps
3691 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! The Dreamcast is such a great machine. People say Playstation 2 has better graphics but I was watching a video of Dead or Alive 2 on Playstation 2 (DO2:Hardcore), the anti-aliasing is horrible on the Playstation 2. There is some slowdown also on the Playstation 2 because of the limited video ram (only 4 while dreamcast has 8). Also, the Playstation 2 version of Resident Evil: Code Veronica won't look as good as the dreamcast version because of the playstation's video ram. I know this for a fact and not opinion. I read it in a magazine. And the last fact, playstation 2 will never reach its full potential because of the video ram. Instead of being able to push 66 million polygons per second, it will only push 14 million polygons per second (dreamcast pushes 12). And last but not least, the audio card on the dreamcast has 64 voices and playstation 2 has 48. In other words, the Playstation 2 version will never pass the dreamcast in means of visual terms or sound terms.
- The only music in the game is the title music.
18. Lost City Of Tiken
The game itself takes you through five different levels where your centurion battles a collection of ghouls, demons, zombies, and other unpleasant creatures that work to impede your progress. As you battle through each level, you must obtain three orbs by vanquishing a blue Cerberus whenever it appears on the screen. Once you obtain three orbs, you transform into either a Werewolf, a Weredragon, a Werebear, a Weartiger, or the ultimate creature, the Golden Werewolf, to defeat Neff and whatever form he takes to attempt to defeat you. This continues until you finally vanquish Neff and save Athena. When you beat the game, you get the credits and the option to play again but at a higher difficulty. Beat the highest difficulty and you get to play again. Not the greatest ending ever, but the gameplay makes up for it.
8143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the first game i got for the snes and is still one of my favorites. The graphics r about the same as the nes graphics but they added a little more color and smothed out the blockeyness. The sound is great for the snes. After u get the hang of it it gets eaiser to play and the controls get more simple. This is the eaisest mario game to beat for me but not for other people. I love the multiplayer mode, it makes it eaiser to get farther in the game. It seems after this game on the snes, marios games were not as good untill the GC came out. Like i said this is the best snes game made.
4311 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this little guy the day it came out in the summer. I don't know if its been laziness that kept me from writing a review, or just the fact that everybody already knows this game rules. First the bad stuff, the graphics kinda... well they aren't on par with current games, but its not like its gonna turn you off from this game, if it does than youv'e got some problems. This game is also EXTREMELY addictive. You'll play it everyday for hours on end, but once you beat it or run low of energy, you'll want to burn it at the stake. Yes, after you log in about 200 hours you will start to hate the game and never want to see it again, but after a few months, you will return to the wimsicle world that is RCT. The game is like every other sim game, build the rides, advertise, get the cash, get bigger rides. Your laid out with missions to accomplish in the alloted time limit, so no sluffin' off here. You soon get bigger rides and better add-ons to your rides. You need to hire people to research rides, watch the park and yes, scoop up the throw-up of your more queasy guests. Sure, Sim Theme Park may look a little nicer, but RTS has the man meat were it counts, and thats in pure fun.
7907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1997 Acclaim brought the very first Arcade quality first person shooter to the N64 with Turok, a primordial theme that defined future genres that would have to actually animate the end level bosses making them more realistic, trying to match what Speilberg did four years earlier, and come very close, meaning Turok was probably some of the best animation ever seen in a 1st person shooter. The story, the levels, the enemy AI, all of this was very impressive for its time and ACCLAIM have stayed ball players because of it. The graphics had people in AWE. This was the end of 1996 start of 1997. I had never played or seen anything like this before. The N64 was an awesome engine. ACCLAIM delivered a stunning entry game. Never forget it. WOW.

-The story, as previously stated, is very basic at times. It is deeper than FFX-2, yet not as deep as FFX.

This game picks up where the original Metroid left off. You are Samus Aran, and you work for the Galactic Federation to fight evil. Lately the evil has been a species called the Metroid. In the first game, Samus defeated the Metroid on another planet including the Mother Brain. In this game Samus travels to the Metroid's home planet to take em all out. This game really stands out compared any other black and white Gameboy game, and it even rivals new Gameboy Color and Advance stuff. The Metroid series is one of the best Nintendo has to offer, and I recommend anyone buy a game that boasts Samus Aran as a character.
3892 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm so happy these are still available brand new, in the box and at a great price! I just recently bought a Dreamcast. I wanted one badly when they first came out but went with a PlayStation instead. Looking forward to playing a few games now.
is about gameplay and not graphics.
6083 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Worked fine for me, would recommend!
4317 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not an RTS (real time strategy) fanatic by any stretch of the imagination -- but I was eager for this game. This game plays extremely well as a single player game -- complete with new twists to the real-time genre: no buildings, you keep your fleet with you from scenario to scenario, full 3D space (with intuitive controls).
2353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great, perfect!
The story as a whole is excellent! The plot is so incredibly well written and presented that the gamer feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. Moreover, the game does a great job of presenting the distinct cultures and civilizations of the inhabitants of Planescape; Sigil, the Outlands, Baator etc. This has, without a doubt, been achieved as a result of a great deal of research that has gone into learning and understanding the numerous and often complex characteristics of the Planescape multiverse.
8021 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Kyle Katarn quickly became my favorite character in the gaming world. In "Dark Forces", the first of the series, you really only begin to learn the basic brute skills of fighting. You also learn several mind skills, not powers, but necessary exercises to prepare you for the coming hazards in the next challenge(DFII on PC). This game, after 6 months of an off again on again gaming ralationship, is still very fun. This was my first game on PC, and though dated graphically, it's still better than the average nerf-herder. You now laugh at the "T" rating, because we were so innocent in them there days when blood was flying squares, but hey, fun is fun.
I'll skip the gameplay, since it's a very basic Sonic gameplay most people in the mid-Sonic times are familiar with. I'll definitely say it's a bit more slippery and bouncy, though, but that was probably to show off the major advantage the DreamCast had over the original PlayStation or the N64.
2988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was one of the people who were die-hard Final Fantasy fanatics way before the mainstream hype. Furthermore, I was a fan of FF7 way before it got all hyped-up. While FF6 is still my favorite, the sheer magnitude of revolutionary changes that this game brought about, not only for the franchise, but for the industry altogether, make this game well-deserving of its current fan-base, and subsequent prequel and sequel. The story is immersive and fulfilling for those interested in getting into the intricacies of it. The gameplay is original. The RPG aspects are unique. The graphics are tolerable, unless you are a picky, new-age gamer. One must keep in mind that for it's time, the graphics and CGI cut-scenes were extraordinary. This game was the first to introduce the ultimate weapons and super-bosses to the franchise. Although, it is the first to keep them attainable and within reason. No obnoxious grinding or farming necessary to attain victory. Just the classic strategies and game play that make Final Fantasy great.
2329 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its a great game and really fun but also challenging at time. The game basically follows the movie with some extras here and there. The graphics are not the greatest but that is to be expected since its a Playstatin game. But overall i would say its a fun game and replayable.
One thing that makes this sort of frustrating for me is that like ALL Mortal Kombat games, the game is hard even on an easy setting. Also, the timing is a bit off on certain areas of jumping on platforms or even attacking. However, this game continues to be a great game and well worth playing again and again.
7525 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I remember playing this game a few times with my friend. And then I asked him why did he get it....over and over. Batman Forever is based on the so so movie of the same name and as licensed games go, developers rush it out the door as soon as possible to make money. So that's one of the many reasons why this game wasn't so great.
6680 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 As we all know the point of this game is to get the frog from point A to point B without getting killed by cars or water. The game has good graphics but there are some things I did not like. For example I didn't like the fact that on level three on the game it was impossible to avoid the super fast cars and throughout the whole game you are times. Anyway only if you love frogger get this game.
Everything else works fine and the loading was easy.
P.S. You may want to check the Relic and Sierra message boards to see what other people think of the game-plus it could help you along in learning the basic components of the game
7307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My wife's laptop is 32-bit Vista and my desktop is 64-bit Vista. We are avid Yatzee players and wanted a full comerical game. On a 32-bit VISTA system, the game will install but hangs in the introduction. On a 64-bit Vista system, the game will not install.
Overall score: 9.8/10
8424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the game that got me into RPGs. It's a fantastic blend of Mario and RPG. It's a funny, engaging story, with great gameplay. The music is fantastic, and the battles can be challenging at times, especially for RPG newbies. If you want to get into RPGs or simply love any game with Mario's name on it, you cannot go wrong with this one.
The stereo sound effects are right on, with booming explosions, convincing rocket launcher "fumps," and futuristic engine sounds that add just as much to the gameplay as the good Rumble Pak implementation. Extreme-G also features a cool techno soundtrack that does exactly what it's supposed to do: Provide a pulse-pounding background beat to the races. The drum beats are a bit weak, but cranking your subwoofer up to maximum levels should give you (and your neighbors) enough enjoyment for days to come.
Skyhook Battle: 100000/10 - By far the BEST DAMN LEVEL in the entire game, and star wars series even! You get to fight Xizors fighters which are very tough, and also destroy an enormous sopace skyhook too!
The brand new weaponry that Samus will acquire are Super Missiles, Morph Ball Jump, Super Bomb, and even the death defying Grappling Hook. You will need ALL of it to advance to -- you guessed it -- the return of the nefarious Mother Brain. As in other Metroid titles, going to Tourian is usually my favorite part of the game. So once again you will need to freeze those pesky Metroids and fire either 5 Missiles or 1 Super Missile to destroy them. And after you reach Mother Brain's lair, it's time to fire even MORE Missiles at her cage!
9832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game one that i had never played. Gotta love the Kirby series and its still going today!
From The Marevel Universe:

This game is jam packed with stuff to do. I'd say you have a garunteed 40 hours of gameplay. It has all the classic Zelda weapons and more. You get to ride a horse across the country side and do some impressive underwater work. There are just so many impressive factors.

2153 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Need this to play some bigger memory games on N64. Works great. Love old school games
Anyway, just to go over some aspects of the game
It really is an awesome game. I only played it at a friend's house as a child really, so now, many years later, I finally decided to get it for myself, along with 2 and 3. The n64 games are classic.
3574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Dreamcast is still one of the best systems available. I absolutly love mine, despite my attempts to replace it with a PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox. These second rate systems have all failed horribly (even though Xbox did come close). While the graphics may seem slightly dated, the games are still top notch. Man, so many games for so little money...like Test Drive Le Mans (best version), Soul Caliber, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Shenmue, Starlancer, PSO, and the best sports games ever. While graphics are no longer DC's strong point, there still great and can easily compete with PS2.
You are gradually given an arsenal of weapons as each level moves forward. Among them are: There is the Silenced 9mm handgun, the .45 handgun, the G-18 Pistol-machine Gun, , the HK-5 Pistol Machine Gun, the Shotgun, the Combat Shotgun, the PK-102 Assault Rifle, the M-16 Assault Rifle, and the K3G4 Assault Rifle just to name a few.
Theres a lot to love and to be disappointed with in this game, which is nevertheless the king of Trek games (at least until EF2 debuts later this year). Level design is a mixed bag of great and bad with my clear favorite being the Scavenger ship, a huge space station composed of salvaged starships like a Klingon Warbird and an early 23rd century Constitution class starship (that level excels because its such a mishmash that you never know what you're going to see next). The game wisely starts its action aboard an Etherian starship, whose wondrous insides resemble less that of a space-going vessel than an acid trip. Unfortunately, those are the early levels. The game maintains its edge with an infiltration mission on a Borg cube, only to lose it afterwards, when you find you must infiltrate other alien ships manned by either sentry robots or the harvesters and reavers - vicious and robot-like aliens. The game also has a wonderful design engine that gives some of its non-player characters a wonderful individuality (whether its your team mates or the aliens). However, that tool, embedded within the Icarus engine, is barely relied on for the aliens and most of the aliens youll meet are faceless and uninteresting hordes. (The exception being that set aboard the Scavenger ship where we hear Klingons complaining about their food, Hirogen discussing their latest hunts and humans playing an unending game of 3-D chess). Gameplay is hampered at all levels by the games simplicity though lightyears past Wolfenstein much of EF has you prowling the hostile corridors of enemy territory, pretty much blasting whoever you meet, and finding the exit. (Again, the Scavenger level is best because its a stealth mission, requiring extra precision; even so, you spend so much time hiding, that you cant afford more than quick glimpses of the scenery). The designers probably felt like they could only make a game that was either a fragfest or a thinking mans RPG, and that wed be grateful whenever it was both, for even a second.
4103 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is without a doubt, one of the most fantastic games aviliable ever for the PC, if not the best. It contains amazing graphics even if you don't have a 3D accelerator. It has a envolving story line and challenges you to solve puzzles and unravel what happened after an explosion turns your colleagues into aliens. But parents, watch out. This game contains EXTREME gore, involving you to shoot and kill enemies resulting in buckets of gore as well as severed heads, bloody limbs and the persons heart. This can be turned off but trails of blood still remain (very bloody) as well as the scare factor. If your over 14 I'd say you can handle it, but anyone under 10 should not get this game!
Would I Reccomend this Video-Game for Teenagers (17-19) that like Mythical Dragons & Dungeons?
3705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Ocean The Second Story in my humble opinion is nothing short of a masterpiece.
1625 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Super fun while simultaneously hard PS1 classic. This is a perfect game for the nostalgia gamer that secretly dreams of being a ninja.
Final Words:This game is definitly a game that lives up to not only the wu-tang name, but a mortal kombat, with a Tekken style looking game. And that's what also cought my eye as well.
The graphics are really amazing for a Genesis game. Digitizing the actors...just like Mortal Kombat. The backgrounds are also dark and stylish. To think that Batman Forever would've actually made itself at home on the Sega 32x.
And to complicate life even more, the designers introduced the concept of gaining gems. If you get all the gems you can continue the game in a new fashion. I aint saying it 'cause I don't want to spoil things for you. To attain these gems is a difficult task. As for me, I got them but after being kicked in the teeth for it. You should not even dream of getting the gems in order of levels. No, mon ami, some times you have to go to a certain advanced level to get a "green gem," for instance, to get the gem in the, say, fourth level. You would have to check the net for the tricks, dirty if I may, and the hidden places. Good luck in that.
3055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The abdominal escapade RPG game Final Fantasy VII. Quite possibly the most excellent Final Fantasy ever in a lot of people's minds. I will agree that this game is extremely great and Square deserves every bit of credit. It has its ups and downs just like every other game out there. I really do like everything about this game but I do like the other Final Fantasy's out there. So if you have only played this game I suggest you try the other Final Fantasy's that have been released.
An oldy but a great one for me. First time I played, I thought the dame was a mutton head and in my way. I did not know I was supposed to love her. So keep that in mind.
The control. The controls in this game are about as fluent as they come. Kirby game are known for having fantastic controls. This is no exception. this is really a highlight of this game.
Koji Kondo has produced many little melodies for Nintendo over the years, most notably the Mario theme and (of course) the Zelda theme. In A Link to the Past, we're treated to a number of different ballads, all of which are of remarkably high quality. There's the mysterious melody that plays in the Lost Woods, which corresponds perfectly with the visuals and ongoing storyline. When Link works toward his final assault on the game's antagonist, we're treated to a truly epic sounding march theme, which is again perfect for the scenario. The melodies sound good on their own, but what makes them great is that they all correspond so well to game events.
CONS:
9358 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has brought back so many great memories playing it i had to buy it for my boyfriend...We just got the new Sega system and we cant stop playing .
The best part of this game is that it is so easy to pick up and play. The Ruby and Emerald Weapons provide you with more challenge than the last boss of the game. Raising chocobos and minigames at the Golden Saucer couldn't be more fun, and this remains the only game besides World of Warcraft that I haven't uninstalled from my computer. Final Fantasy VII is a keeper, and don't be discouraged by the prices on Amazon, by the time you're done with the game, you will believe it to be the best $50 you have spent on a game. I would know, because I said the same thing.
Some may say the graphics are dated. I feel that they are nostalgic. With randomly-generated dungeons, spelunking is always a grand adventure. A must-have for any RPG lover!
9098 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the only game that I've played since it came out. Having so many of the recognizable faces and their talents at your disposal and then having them so easy to manipulate without having to push a combination of buttons makes this game more entertaining than any I've ever played. Yes some of the plays are somewhat unrealistic and the graphics cannot match up to today's games but when you throw Jerry Rice a pass you EXPECT him to catch it the majority of the time. Tecmo gives you that.
The graphics weren't wonderful, but what can you expect from the earliest of the 3D Square games? I had played 8 and 9 before this, so the graphics were admittedly a bit of a letdown, but the story was more than enough to make up for it. I just found it quite funny how everyone's hands looked like large boxes. ^_^
Occasionally, I meet people who are baffled at the success of "Myst." They don't understand how a game where you just walk around and solve stuff can be so appealing. There is little or no character interaction, they say. I've noticed that a lot of these same people are those who like those "shoot'em up and splatter their guts all over the wall" type of gamers. The reason "Myst" has been so successful is because it so pure - you don't have to worry about dying, you use your head to get your way through things, and each new Age you encounter is just bursting with intriguing things to discover. That and each world is beautiful. Not as jaw-dropping as "Riven" and not nearly as mesmerizing as "Myst III: Exile", but "Myst" has a subtle yet majestic beauty that makes it stand apart from other games.

When I say the controls for this game are very simple, I must also mention that Mario is capable of many actions. Mario can walk, run, crawl, jump, triple jump, backflip, side somersault, wall kick, swim, climb, punch, kick, slide, fly, shoot from a cannon, butt-splash, hang, hand-over-hand, crouch, surf on koopa shells, and even look around. While this scope of actions seems like a lot and likely difficult to master, the reality is that yes, it is alot but is not difficult at all to master. A few of the skills, such as wall kicking or flying take some practice to master, but the majority of Mario's actions are very easy to master, which results in very fluid gameplay and the sensation of actually being Mario.
So if you are looking for a shooter (now, you will have to be REALLY WANTING for a GREAT shooter here..)with awesome graphic, intuitive music, palm-sweating gameplay, and making-you-playing-it-again-and-again challenging factor, with everything in balance to give you that masterpiece feel, look no further and pick this one of the best shooter of all time, really, I'm not joking here.
Most of the enemies throughout the game are rather easy to defeat (including the boss fights). Many of the boss fights will keep you on your toes, though. The strategy to defeating many of them is to KEEP RUNNING and only turn around when the moment is right and BLAST them! The only boss who isn't easy is the very last boss (who sounds like Michael Jackson) because he has TWO forms. The first form you can figure out with practice, but on the second form he turns into a giant machine and THEN the challenge increases. But it's possible to find enough money to carry up to 10 Sub-tanks to help you out DRASTICALLY. If you were to carry 10 Sub-tanks he would be a VERY easy boss! Despite that, the game provides a nice challenge because the way the story unfolds forces you to do a LOT of things. You have to go HERE, you have to go THERE! You have to collect THIS, you have to collect THAT! You'll find out just how many items and weapons are in the game when you hit the Start button and see everything in your inventory. It's borderline INSANE.
overall 5/5
You start out as a fighter, but you can quickly become a Thief or Wizard (just look around). The story does hit home, but it could have used a better ending (no offense, this game earns 5 stars just playing it from one end to the other). The payoff is getting there, not the end.
8444 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Pretty classic game. Probably one of the most iconic iterations of it. From the intro to the last fight its a great way to relive your childhood or, if it was before your time, get a better look at the games humble beginnings. Can get pretty repetitive but that is a tribulation of most fighting games
There are a few more Roller Coasters, and Gentle Rides, and a Great expansion of the shops and stalls one can build. However, I was a bit let down with the minimal amount of Thrill Rides. Also, though Scenery was expanded and what was added is beautiful, it could have gone much, much further.
9253 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playn this game in the mid 90's. I baught it for my nephew. The graphics then were great. The music was kind of spooky, and the story line was awesome. So, I baught me my own. If you like roll playing games. This is one ofthe best.
6412 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In Age of Empires: the Age of Kings, you can control one of 13 different civilizations including the English, Mongols, Chinese, Japanese, Byzantines, and many more. Age of Empires 2 is not your typical RTS. Unlike WarCraft and StarCraft, AOE2 requires more thinking on your part rather than creating an army of soldiers and storming the enemy base. That doesn't cut it in AOE2. You actually have to think in order to outsmart the computer (oh my gosh, some of you mindless people actually have to use your so called brains). In regards to AOE2 and the major change I had to go through from playing WarCraft and StarCraft, was the fact that I had to learn how to multitask my characters. In WarCraft and StarCraft the only resources you can gather are either two or three resources. In AOE2 you must gather food, wood, gold, and stone in order to keep your civilization alive. Also the many different upgrades and research items in AOE2 was a big change from WarCraft and StarCraft. In an overall rating, AOE2 outperforms WarCraft and StarCraft by a considerable amount and is 10x more fun and challenging. And your also learning a bit about history as you play (it doesn't get any better than that).

5196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In light of PS3 releasing an update that will allow upscaling of PS1 and PS2 games to 1080p, I feel compelled to revisit some of the games that made me a solid sony fan. MGS is one of those games that comes along once every console, where the developers, producers and screen writers all seem to be on the same page, and create a master-piece. This game was revolutionary, in the sense that it focused more on the concept of espionage, rather than the usual "run n gun." I played this game back in 1998, when it was first released, and have been following the game ever since. This game made my jaw drop with the graphics it pushed out of the ps1, and the storyline is amazing. Theres love, hate, plot twists, dual endings and so much more that combine to make this game great. One thing I remember is the battle with Psycho Mantis; (a crazy military psychic)who knew every move you were going to do before you did it. At one point he tells you to "put the controller down to see his true power" and with a hardy yell, my controller vibrated right off the coffee table! Of course it was the rumble feature, but how unique is that? We were all tripped out on the greatness of this game, and the intelligence put into the storyline. This game is by far the best game on the ps1, and if you haven't played it yet, now its not too late. Get it, play it, and then buy the others for the PS2, Metal Gear -Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear- Snake Eater. If you got a PS3 be on the look out for Guns of the Patriots coming out on March 1 2008, its going to be amazing.
9305 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything as expected. Thank you.

Is Homeworld the best game ever made? That is a tough decission, but it sure comes pretty damn close!
Kids these days, in my opinion, are too spoiled by HD graphics. I love them as much as the next tech nerd, but if your child is going to play video games, I say make 'em work their way up the ladder.
7076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game very fun lots of puzzles and tons of content
My advice to you: go get the pc version rather than the ps2 version, it has better graphics, more responsive controls, you can save anywhere you want, and you can take advantage of the vibrant mod community.
7345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Anyone who says that video games are just games, have to be out of their minds. Welcome to Nightopia, the land where your dreams are a reality. Whenever I play NiGHTS, I'm reminded why I grew up loving video games, because the world I was taken into seemed so real, it reflects the world I've always wanted to live in. This review will be in a dreamer's perspective.
So, if you like Tony Hawk, get this game. If you like skateboarding, get this game. If you like skateboarding video games, get this game. If you like sports games, get this game.

If you can hear me, go Get Tony Hawk's Pro Skater!

This is truly a game for the strong-gutted. It's true that the level of fear in this game is so high that you will constantly be looking over your shoulder whenever you begin to feel frightened- you will be looking down the hallway of your home and looking out the window to make sure nothing is there. You want to make sure all those noises you are hearing are coming from the game and not under your bed or somewhere else in your home. I never thought it was possible to create fear in such a way and pull it off successfully in a video game, but that's what Silent Hill is all about. Believe it or not, I really think this game is scarier than any movie I've ever watched, and that includes classics like the Exorcist and the Ring. That's because, in the world of video games, you can picture yourself as the main character (Harry) and picture what it must be like for him to visit a town like Silent Hill and the amount of fear that must be going through both you and Harry. You see, because you, the gamer, are controlling Harry, it's not just Harry going through the dreaded town of Silent Hill by himself, it's YOU and Harry. You two have to stick together and make it out alive. Both of you have to put those scary feelings aside and progress through the game.
Fundamentally, the game is still the same, with that unique ability to barter and beg 6 wildcats for 1 Xena from other, more clever AI players that makes it so unique among these types of games. However the mod (and you need to get this game if only to check out the mod and aforementioned mod tools), changes things in such a way to correct bugs left over from the final Special Edition release and the later LOMSE.exe beta patch and added a few extras such as AI security for capitol and the temple.
Simply put, this game is stunning. You will lose many good hours of your life into it...and never feel an iota of guilt or regret.
4658 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good game of the original board game. It is very enjoyable to play as long as you want. It can be played by one or two players.

So where does this all come together? Just like in the mass battles in Suikoden, the classes follow a cyclical hierarchy: sword beats arrow beats air beats sword. This rock-paper-scissors element hadn't entered the strategy scene prior to Vandal Hearts. Naturally, there are also other, more popular conventions of precedence: opposing elements and the precedence of spells over physical defense will play a major role in the player's thinking.
Throughly enjoyable - I wish there were more games like this on the PC!! It gets 5 stars aa I cant think of a better game of its genre on this platform.
Platinum--Expert level! EXTREMELY hard to aquire. Lots of practice needed!
1745 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Always loved me some Crash Bandicoot. The second one was always my favorite. So many fun adventures and the boss is always fun to defeat. Too bad my Playstation doesn't work anymore.
1089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is a definite Classic. I've owned this game for a good 6 years and it's just extraordinary and fun, but at the same time educational. In this game you must do alot of thinking and find out where the secrets are. So in other words, it's a magical adventure game.
Shenmue!
700 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Best James Bond game ever made! Still has yet to be one that tops Goldeneye lol C'mon Rare make an all new original James Bond game cause we gamers NEED one please!
5274 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is more fun than having a bag of hammers dropped on your head, but not by much. A game where you rely on stealth and not your trigger finger is a good idea but I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. I knew that I was in trouble on the very first mission. It went like this: Me: "Where am I? Is this a wall or a door? I'll just open it-" Guard: "Hey!" Me: "Oops!" Guard kills me. The End.
Terran:Medic. In the original queens(and in this one) could infect enemy units with a parasite. These parasites would allow that player(the zerg player) to see what the infected unit would see as if it was his own own unit. Once the parasite was detected there was no way to remove it except by killing the infected unit. Also attacks on terran unit would never heal. Now with the medic, parasites, acid spores, stasic fields and other harmfull item can be removed from untis with Restoration and Units can be healed. Medic can also blind detectors(units who can see ivisible/burrowed units) so as they can not see hidden units. I reccomend that medics be sent out along with almost every group of soldiers. They can be a big help.
Some landscapes look a lot like those of the original Metroid game but enhanced. Some abilities are even in the same spots! Still, that exploration is there and for that I was happy. Instead of having a linear path to follow you can play the game at your own pace and find the power-ups how you want to find them. Exploration in my opinion is what Metroid games are all about.
524 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of those classic games that everyone who was a fan of Playstation 1 must own, aside from the 1st Tomb Raider of course. Got it used, but it works great.
What happens is these group of enemies called "The Smithy Gang" destroyed a place called "Star Road" where everyone's wishing go to become true, but now that it is destroyed, no ones wishes will ever come true again, all hope is lost for Mushroom Kingdom. Until Mario meets a kid named "Mallow" a small puffy cloud who thinks he is a tadpole, who lives with his grandfather (who really is a tadpole). Mallow shortly finds out by his grandfather that he is not his grandfather and that he is not a tadpole!. Mallow who is very shocked about the news, joins mario in search for his real parents. Later they meet a star spirit who took over a body of a doll named "Geno". Geno went to Mario for help, in order to repair Star Road and make everyones wishes come true again. So he joins Mario's Party (no pun intended) to take back the missing stars from other smithy gang members. On top of that Peach has been taken by a mad man named "Booster" who kinda reminds me of Wario. Him and his snifits (look like shy guys) are taking the princess to Marrymore so he can marry his bride to be (Peach). Not if Mario has anything to say about it!. Mario and his gang have many hurdles along the way but will they repair Star Road? I highly recommend this game to all RPG fans out there. It is on the Wii for purchase and this is most worth it.
3) Multiplayer: The main reason this game stands out. It is absolutely incredible! You can play against the computer, system link, and of course, go ONLINE. When you play online, your record is kept, so you can try to earn some respect out there! There are clans, literally THOUSANDS of StarCraft players waiting to play 24-7. And it really is neat to see some of the strategies people have made, the beauty and creativity of a well constructed base, etc... You can play with your friends as "allies", Melee, Capture the Flag, etc... The possibilities are endless! Some people master either the Protoss, Zerg, or Terran, while others use a different race every time. Each one has strengths and weaknesses, and things you might be able to do better with them then you could with other races. It really is great, and for the price, I don't think you can find better online entertainment, as Battle-Net is FREE, and the SC BattleChest is just 20 bucks.
It's a LOT like Golden Axe
The story seems a little closely related to Grandia Ex in terms of the Grandia world having elemental spirits residing in it as well as the story of an ancient civilization where man tasted the paradise of supreme knowledge. Not bad at all.
6. Overall- This game is an absolute no miss game! Guranteed. This is a good game who likes RPG, or collects Zelda Games. This is, (I think) better than Majora's Mask. This Game Follows the Legend!!! Honestly.
The science fiction setting gives a totally new way to look at a colonization game. Although some fans of sims might find the units and their names a little strange, you can and you will get into designing your own military might quickly. The unit design feature is a nice touch - it allows you to create a unit with exactly the type of weapons, armor and abilities you want to use in your next encounter with your neighbors.
To warrant this title's port to the DC, Midway included some "new" characters. Cyrax, Mileena, Kitana, Baraka and Kung Lao are all standing by to be beheaded at your leisure. I'll admit, it was fun to play as my old favorite Baraka, but I found his return to be a bit lackluster.
Gameplay: to control croc is the bad point, the game bad controls make this game bad enough to skip. 3/10
7124 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What I like most about this game is the new look of the weapons and monsters. This was the first Doom game to really look different. The new weapons and monsters have an awesome design. The only ones that I think looked better in the original are the Lost Souls and Cacodemons. Every other monster is streamlined to look real nice.
Mass battles are fun in this one. First game had awesome battles, but this one has extremely nice ones, that are fun, and slighlty addictive as you get more characters and new things to try out.
Sword of Berserk
Seasons go by, rain comes and goes, your skills improve and you might even win a horserace. Even those too young to grasp the strategy involved will still enjoy watching the plants grow and riding the horse around.
Same goes for some DC games on PS2!
5799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my first Tomb Raider game and after playing all the rest, this one is still my favorite. (I'm waiting for the new one to come out!) The story line is great, the places your visit are breath taking, and it's full of adventure with great graphics. This Tomb Raider definetely gets five stars!
I agree with the reviews that suggest that you rent this game first. It is very detailed and realistic. If you don't want to spend hours analyzing and preparing the missions, then you wont't appreciate the game's considerable depth.
There are great graphs to help you manage the economics of your strategy, and the graphics themselves are quite fun! The merry-go-round spins, the roller-coaster cars fill with little people and go around the tracks. You can customize colors, add statuary, research new theme decorations like Egyptian and Roman buildings. You can raise and lower terrain, building raised walkways and underground roller coaster tunnels.
1561 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Decently priced, disk has scratches. It plays okay, skips sometimes, freezes. Price high for damaged merchandise.
Are there some problems with this game? Absolutely, but only after TWO years of playing. The fan community for this title has a long laundry list of things they would love to see in an RCT 2, but this is just a testament to how detailed and fun the first game is. It simply is a reflection that the game's fans can't wait for a sequel.
9201 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In the early 1980's, the arcade coin-op was the most popular brand of entertainment to grace all video game fanatics. The world was introduced to Mario the mustached hero, and his longtime archrival, Donkey Kong. Even I admit to having drained my weekly allowance of quarters just to get those couple of moments of pure joy whenever I used to hit the arcades back then! I even used to play Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. using the sit-down "cocktail" arcade cabinets! :)
This game is one of the reasons the genre is called Metroidvania.
Sonic 2 is a legend. Really, what new ideas can I offer? I noticed coming back, it is a bit unfair. Enemies are placed right where you will run into them. You can loose your rings faster than Sonic can run. You can get crushed.
The game plays smoothly as well. This game has not locked up on me, not once, unlike the first Suikoden. There was not a single time when it froze or wouldn't work, and my copy is an old one! It ran smoothly, not pausing in the least. Unlike some games, where the game pauses before slipping into a cinema, Suikoden II flows right into the cinema without a single pause. The entire game simply flows along, without pause, and without a single freeze-up.
It may be a very nice Game but the controller use make it suck. Comon, we are in 2011. It may be my bad do not know more about PS1 use, still, if I had read a review about that I wouldnt had bought the game. My Son played TY2 all the way trought with some help of me. We are not big gamers but like jump n' run games.
835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a classic game
5015 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Silent Hill. What can you say? I remember being so excited to get this back in February of 1999. The commercials on tv looked really good and I loved the first 2 Resident Evil games that were out at the time.
In my opinion, the first Diablo is better.
5179 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It had been years since I've played this game, I don't really care for shooter games much, but I like this one and this is probably the best metal gear solid I ever had the oportunity to ever play (I played a demo of the one that involves a jungle, snake eater I think, I didn't care for it) I forgot how unique this game was in getting the player involved. I have not beat this game yet since I got my recent copy, I had to take a break, but overall if your not a whiny cry baby about details in graphics this is a fantasic game.
This is a timeless game, it was a blast to play back then and still is today. There are lots of secrets and things to find.
7449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pretty good racer.
Music and Sound-5
The weaponry could not be better. Each weapon is so powerful and action-packed, that you can feel your hand shake each time you fire.
5-Hill tops(85%)A good level with good inovation.
Battle System (score 7/10): The battle system is a turn-based system that will be instantly understandable to any person who's got a vested interest in RPGs. What's different about this game is that Levant is the only character you get to fight with, and he's actually a pretty weak fighter. You'll spend most of your time summoning monsters to fight for you. Yes, Jade Cocoon is a bit of a monster-raising sim. You can capture monsters of various elements (earth, fire, water, wind) to fight in battle for you. You can also merge two of them together to improve their stats - and their appearance changes! That's really the biggest selling point of the monster-related gameplay. Based on what you choose to merge, you can make a monster look however you want it to. Unfortunately, you'll usually be merging solely for stat boosts or to get certain abilities, which can sometimes produce a very fugly monster. Still, it's an interesting mechanic to play around with. My only complaint with the battle system itself is that the battles can feel a bit slow due to slow animations. Speaking of which, the capturing animations are a bit too long for my taste, and even though the menu has an "off" option, I can't tell any difference between on and off. Go figure.
Too hard for young kids some people say? So was the original Mario Bros from 1985 at one point. Ignoring secret jumping techniques with turtle shells, lives were hard to come by and you definitely needed them for the later worlds. In Crash Bandicoot they practically give lives away because the levels are fairly challenging throughout the game. For example, Boulder Dash wiped out the 50 some lives I had accumulated the first time got to that level.
It definitely has its faults. 1) too much teen angst. 2) it is too often unclear as to where you need to go next, with an inability to distinguish what is simply scenery and what is a pathway for you to use. Also, the characters are not equal; Zell and Irvine are nowhere near as good as Zell, Quintis, or Rinoa. Plus, you don't get the rush of "saving the world" that you do with other FF games.
4168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was never big into RTS games, my friend let me borrow C&C, I thought it was interesting but it didn't really sell me. I bought this out of all the hype and after enjoying C&C, it blew my mine, this game is old in my book,but the textures and graphics still hold up. The box is a bit overkill, I just want the disc and the code I could care less about the strategy guide and free WoW passes.
I had no idea that the black-bar edition I have is selling for $175 on Amazon these days. But I'm not parting with mine. No-way.
You play the role of james Bond, which is worth it within itself.
2742 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Fly threw rings and pick up cars...this game is an insult and should be shoved up the developers anus.
Recommended for those looking for a cheap, fun game, for their PSone or PS2.
The PROS: For its time, the graphics and sounds were top notch. The controls were simple enough so it doesn't take long before you pull off punches, kicks, body slams and jumping off from the top rope. The wrestlers look good enough that you recognize them. Finally, 2 player support means you can take on a friend anytime you wanted when you get tired of playing against the computer.
Capcom is also pretty generous when it comes to those green herbs and first aid sprays. You can find plenty of them throughout the game, just sitting around on the table or floor, making the challenge level go down even more. Oh, and let's not forget that, in addition to having lots and lots of ammo generously offered to you, you also receive a few awesome weapons such as a machine gun and a shotgun straight from the beginning of the game. Another thing- when you pick up, for example, handgun bullets, you actually receive a LOT of ammo. I believe in Resident Evil 2 each of those orange packs of ammo contained about 15 bullets. In this game, you receive, and I'm honestly not kidding, around 40-50 bullets per pack. Capcom made running out of ammo something you will NEVER have to worry about.
615 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 game is crappy and unfair enemys cheat and respawn making it impossible to compleate missions you either defend your man all the time or die
This Game Requires some sort of expansion pack to play on campaign mode.
The only reason I gave it two stars, is that with two people you do get an almost arcade perfect MK experience, but you still deal with the absolutely ridiculous characters of MK3 and UMK3 and all its palette swaps. My advice is to turn off aggressor mode as well as all of those cheap auto combos and pretend you are playing MKII with some extra backgrounds.
4431 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product.
Crazy Taxi: I cannot do this game justice in my writing. Just go look up Crazy Taxi gameplay online.
Overall, 9.5 out of 10.
4823 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game proves that if a game is really good graphics don't matter the graphics in this may suck but warcraft has been the best and first ever war stratigy if you haven't played this game which is liek 2 people get it i remember playin this back in like 95 it was so cool but i got this online one its like 3 in one games it has warcraft 2 tides of darkness it has the expansion pack warcraft 2 beyond the dark portal and it has like a multi player theme play single player first and beat it just so you can learn everything (...), SO BUY THIS AND KEEP WARCRAFT ALIVE.....................
Man I'm tired. But I'm never too tired to take a couple hours from my easy-going day and blasting my way through this super cool game. The only downside is that you can't skip the cutscenes. That's fine at first, when you want to listen closely to the story (even though I didn't) but after a while you really wish Capcom would have put a skip button on this thing.
7953 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THE BEST GAME I HAVE PLAYED.
8363 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is a terrible game but good for the star wars collector now that everything in it is non canon.
However, this is very little like the typical FF. Instead of the boring and very annoying battles in all FFs, battle now takes place on a large, multi-layered, isometric 3D battle fields. You must move characters around to get into a good place for an attack, a strong defense, or even magic. It has an extensive job system including both EXP and JP (job points). There are many great jobs and a few useless, but customization of characters is very deep.
6494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I needed this after my old copy broke on me, a solid 2 disc game with both Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 6 on it, two of the most biggest Final Fantasy games ever. I love Final Fantasy and this is a solid package worth buying!
Another annoying feature is the inability to skip past stuff that you have seen a million times, that is redundant to you.
As I'm sure there are some people out there who are still unfamiliar with everyone's favorite purple dragon, how about a quick rundown?

Cosmo Canyon's theme is amazing.
1981 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good game.
The A.I. is superb. Each character has a field of vision and if caught they will call for back-up and you will a) die or b)run and hide. I never knew PSX A.I. could be so advanced.
At first I was tentative.. what's this? The idea, aside of just touring your "own" cities, was to earn money by "helping out" with fire, traffic, crime, medical, passengers, etc emergencies by either directly intervening or by calling and directing appropriate response teams.. fire, ambulance, police, etc. These activities form the structure of the "game".. ie get money, buy better stuff, etc until you "made it" to the ultimate choppers.. even allowing a military unit where you can challenge UFO's.. And of course true to games of that era, it also has an "easter egg" or two tucked away..
- Wonderful soundtrack. I ended up buying a copy of the soundtrack too.
3018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks for this classic Final Fantasy game. This will be the first 3 disk long rpg I've played though but who cares. It's great!

Gameplay/Theme: 8.0 Yes, Blue Stinger has it's problems, but it is fun. As with any game of this nature, part of the fun comes with blasting enemies with high-powered weapons. In this area, BS delivers. Ranging from the usual shotguns and rocket launchers, to more exotic weapons such as ray swords (a lightsaber rip-off) and railguns. Each character has their own unique arsenal of weapons, which are either found or bought from numerous vending machines located throughout Dinosaur Island. Needless exploration and a few vague puzzles can dampen the fun for you (remember the passcode 1224, you'll need it), if you stick with it, the experience can be rewarding.
4230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is brilliant. It's my first game in the Knight series and I was completely immersed in the game right from the very beginning.
Anyways onto this review, this is one of the best Sonic games ever made, right up there with the legendary sequel to the first game and also the mind blowing Sonic 3-D blast! The worlds are very detailed and the music in some of the levels are really good like Lava Reef and Death Egg Zone to name 2 of my favorites. The game is designed very similar to Sonic 3 with a sub-boss in the middle followed by the mustache maniac Robotnick. The fact that you can lock it onto sonic 3 makes it that much more enjoyable and makes sonic 3 that much longer. You lock it onto Sonic 2 and now you can enjoy all those classic zones as Knuckles and discover new secrets about the game.
Sony's successful Playstation console was just EXCELLENT if you ask me. Making the decision to keep the PS1 for over 12 years now and not only play the console, but keep the PS1 HOOKED UP to my TV for all these years really means the games must have been good. And they *are* good. REALLY good games.
3566 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My friend and I played this years ago. It is the most fun I have ever had on the PC. The multiplayer rocks, and the graphics were great for back then.
There aren't as many pokemon as there should be. Out of the first 150 pokemon, you can only take pictures of sixty-something pokemon. But still, it's awesome. You get laughs from the different ways you take pictures or get a pokemon's attention.
Great game!
This very first installment, also known as Layer Section in Japan, set the standard way to high for its sequels to catch up with. The second installment, Ray Storm, did managed to catch its magic, with substandard-graphic-but-with-better-ending, however, last installment, Ray Crisis, falls flat on the ground.
The music is no more than low-quality samples of Smooth Criminal and Thriller, as you should know this music follows Jacko everywhere he goes in real life and will change depending on where he is.
Sincerely,
First, this game is amazingly engineered. It had VERY low system requirements when it came out, and runs fantastically on a modern machine. The interface is brilliant. The graphics are clean and detailed. The background sounds are perfect. When a technology comes up, you get a voice reading about it, when you build a wonder, you get a cool movie to watch.
1127 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have an N64 you absolutely should have this game. It's a remake of the classic Zelda game from the good old NES and SNES systems with some added twists, new terrain and interesting characters.
1335 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Where are all the green pipes!!!
The Barbarian is easily the most formidable fighter in the game. Immense strength and agility make this character very hard to kill. His skill trees include 'Battle cries' which can be used to power himself and party members, as well as cause damaging effects to enemies. He has a tree of attack skills, which include the ability to 'bash' and knock enemies back, dizzying them, or leaping into a group of enemies with enough force to scatter them. his third tree consists of 'Masteries' which allow him to increase his ability to wield sword, mace, and axe class weapons, as well as the ability to search corpses for potions and treasure.
As for the game, it is about catching bass. That is pretty much the gist of it. You choose the lures and reel away! There is a practice mode, arcade mode, and a tournament mode which is really fun and competitive for a fishing game. The only thing I wanted was different species of freshwater fish in addition to all the bass. But bass fishing it is. SEGA MARINE FISHING is a great companion to this for those who like saltwater fishing.
The multiplayer game is SLOW, and the long load times make this a game that surely is not for the multiplayer fanatic. The single player game is on the edge of perfection. While not as deep as Half-Life, this is a very realistic story about 4 missing nukes and a personal vendetta that really seems to be at the end but then you are in a whole new level, with a long load time as usual, but it is well worth it!
I love the characters in this game with Squall ( I always rename to riptide or forest ) being my favorite. One of the things I really like is the salary system. You get paid according to your testing level. You can increase it by taking a test about the game about questions such as what weapons they use or statis effects, but don't worry it is multiple choice. If you find this frustating, you can always cheat by going online for all the answers but if you like to challenge yourself you will not do this. Be warned though, your their salary can be reduced by your actions in battle. I don't really understand how this works because I never bothered finding out.
The game is set in the Star Wars universe just after the Empires defeat at Yavin. You can take on the role of commanding the Alliance or the Empire, the later being my favorite (you can't play as the bad guys often enough in other games).
The point is Tetris is a wonderful portable game with a high replay value. The action is constant the tunes are pretty fun and the game is great to play against your friends. The rocket cut scenes are a nice break in the action reminding me of Ms. Pac Mac. I would rate Tetris 4 1/2 to 5 stars it is addicting and fun to play.
You can alter the game with all of those options! The main gameplay is pure Ms. Pac-Man awesomeness.
Can't say enough good things about this one!
The ghost hunting side quest is very tough and takes practice and patience. Capture all 10 big poes roaming the field of hyrule and sell them to the strange ghost shop. You will get the 4th bottle (the hardest to get)
A HUGE cast list with 14 playable characters, still the largest cast in a Final Fantasy game. While it's nice to have variety, some don't get as much story as they should've. Ones like Celes, Terra, Locke and Setzer have substanstial backstory while others might just join your party and that's it. The game brings in the Esper System. It's not a wild departure like Junctioning but essentially you can equip an Esper to use in battle and after each battle you get points to learn a spell. Learn it and on to the next one. Finish them all and you can pick someone else.
The storyline is quite snappy too, with plenty of glimpses of the mysterious suited man and a few secret conversations that you can eavesdrop on.
Sure, the temple, water and factory themes make an appearance, but it's not fair for me to say they are direct ripoffs of the levels in Donkey Kong Country when the levels were actually designed *completely differently*.
3193 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the few games I actually bought for the Dreamcast while I owned one.
The gameplay, while using dated tank controls, works well enough that you won't be hindered by it. At the start of the game, Harry recieves a handgun from policewoman Cybil Bennett, and can pick up a kitchen knife (which sucks by the way, don't use it) and a radio that emits static when enemies are near. Most of the time, you'll want to avoid the enemies, but when they're in your way, or when a boss arrives, you'll have to fight. Certain weapons, like the guns, and the steel pipe (you'll find this not too long after the start of the game and it works well) allow Harry to walk with them at the ready, but the more powerful weapons like the emergency hammer (my personal favorite; you'll find it in the hospital) will require Harry to remain still when fighting. Approach enemies cautiously when you must fight them, and run when you can.
Tomb Raider was the first game to give players control of a character in a true 3D environment. Sure, you had games like Doom and Wolfenstien, but they played only on a single plane with your character spinning on an axis. Tomb Raider allowed you to control Lara, the feminine version of Indiana Jones, an use the environments such as cliffs, roofs, etc. to progress through the levels. Level design in Tomb Raider is really what the game is centered around. Beautiful, stunning, breath-taking, eerie, surreal, all describe the level design here. Nothing short of ingenious.
Once you enter the game, you can either play Exhibition matches to get adjusted to everything or go straight to Challenge Mode. Among the match types available are Singles, Tag Team, Tornado Tag Team, Hardcore, or Steel Cage. The Steel Cage match is probably the most frustrating match to play. When you climb the cage, I didn't know what button to push to climb down. I pushed down but I just ended up climbing back down to the ring. I lost most of the Cage matches.
2711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i first encountered this game on the sega cd at around age 13 or 14 when it first came out. this is one of those games i go back and play at least once every few years. the story isn't heavy at all and there is some tongue and cheek humor. nothing really thought-provoking but this isn't a game that takes itself seriously either. i can't put my finger on exactly why i find myself playing it again and again. i've recently played it for the umpteenth time and here i am. it's probably the most charming game i've played. the psx version is my favorite. it's relatively short at 20-27 hours and fairly easy. playing lunar really is reliving one of those childhood moments of mine. i found final fantasy 3 (aka ff6/japan) on the snes around the same time as i encountered lunar on sega cd. it's another one of my favorites of this era. while i love both games i like them for different reasons. maybe in contrasting them you can get an idea on where lunar stands.
I couldn't really review this, really, read someone else's, I'm just another voice saying that it's good, nothing I say will change how people feel about this game. Buy it, no questions, even if you don't like games, go read all the other 5 star reviews, yes, all 213/213 of them, now go, get it.
Overall, Sonic 3 is a great game, but does lack in some departments. If you want a more intense gaming experience, buy Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles together and play Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is quite possibly the best Sonic game ever, and eliminates all the flaws of Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles.
B: Allow a toggle between classic graphics and the graphics (but NOT that gawd-awful reworked play control) which were used in the SNES compilation cartridge, and allow mid-game toggle between classic NES scale and "zoom"(close-up) perspective that was standard in this GBC rendition.
8638 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Little ones love it. Very colorful and great music to keep kids entertained. An original classic of the beginning of the Sega. Highly recommend.
You can get more one ups by finding them across levels or collecting 100 apples which are basically the coins of Super Mario Bros, but the apples are everywhere in this game so its really easy to get a one up, you could literally get at least three lives per level. Attack moves include jumping in the air and landing on an enemy or using a spin move in a tornado fashion to knock enemies off-screen, I like that, even if its a rip-off of Super Mario World. You also find this Mask that helps you on your journey, if you find it, it gives you an extra hit point, but you don't actually wear the mask it just follows you. If you get three masks without losing one, you turn invincible for a brief time much like the Starmans in Super Mario Bros.
8679 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once you get past the semi-weird steering, you'll begin to realize that the first of a terrific series of kart-racing games has a lot to offer. You get to race in around 20 tracks as your favorite of the eight playable characters, and use items against CPUs or your friend.
3395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best system ever! Well, at least the best SEGA system but this one has a true place in my heart as I had it when it first came out and loved most of the games for the system. Everyone should play the Dreamcast games at least once, there's quite a few really great ones!
That's just one example, there are many, many, more. Another example? Ok, I got to a point in the game where half of the population would just leave. Then, six months later, they'd all return again just to repeat the same process again and again year after year. Does this make any sense?
6565 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 not bad for the price. i'm not a huge fan of the lag during the loading screens but as far as the price goes this is a great way to spend some hours.
- The First part of the game states "Final Stage: Blood Lines" this is a recap of the last stage of Castlevaina: Dracula X, but to many it seems as if it's the last stage in Castlevaina Blood Lines (on Sega Genesis) because the level is called "Blood lines". Note Blood Lines is in reference to the Blood Line Dracula and Alucard share and not the game for Sega Genesis
4445 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I know what you're thinking... I need another controller. The generic can't be that bad, I might not like it, but I'll be able to play.
I'd reccomend this over Wipeout Fusion, because Fusion didn't really get the controls down 100% and the tracks aren't well balanced. Wipeout 3 is about as fast and hectic as you can get.
Nothing is explained
6706 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game falls short with so many other console fighting games. It has cool characters and stages,moves but not enough of these aspects to make the game shine. Thats exactly why I highly recommend the Sega CD game Eternal Champions:Challenge From The Darkside it has all the characters,moves,overkills that this 16 bit cart does and a whole lot more. In the Sega CD sequel the player has 4 brillant ways to end a match not just the one you get with the genesis game. The Sega CD version has overkills which is in this game ,but in addition has cinekills(a cinema scene where you brutally dispose of the opponent)Vendettas(where each character has a unique way to let out his/her revenge),and Sudden Deaths(another background finisher like overkills except they are harder to pull off and ends the round quicker)and tons of characters I believe 38-40 with not palette swaps like the ... Mortal Kombat series. BOTTOM LINE I GIVE ETERNAL CHAMPIONS CREDIT FOR BEING MADE TO SPAWN THE WONDERFUL SEGA CD GAME,WHICH I WOULD RECOMEND OVER THIS ANY DAY!
Control: 8/10
On board the Egg Carrier, Eggman removes the E-Series robots and stations Gamma in Amy's cell. However, Gamma witnesses Beta being rebuilt, Amy convinces him that Gamma should not work for Eggman, as he is an enemy. In a confusion of newly discovered emotions, Gamma releases Amy and Birdie. While being chased by Zero, Amy goes to the ship's deck. Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails confront Eggman, but Gamma is dispatched to attack Sonic. Despite attacking Sonic with lasers, Sonic defeats Gamma, but Amy interferes and has Sonic spare Gamma. Gamma, understanding that Eggman is an enemy, decides to follow the others. The ship loses altitude and Tails, Amy, and Gamma flee, while Sonic restores the ship to its original form. Sonic is confronted by Chaos, who now has six Chaos Emeralds, and defeats it once more before pursuing Eggman. Meanwhile, Knuckles steals back the six Chaos Emeralds and Big uses the Tornado II; they both flee from the ship as it crashes.
As for the positives, there are a lot. The majority of the characters in this game are actually FLESHED OUT. I feel like the cutscenes and heart events were not written for children. It is actually interesting and heartwarming, something I miss about Harvest Moon nowadays. The festivals are interesting and fun, something to look forward to all throughout the months!
9307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Max Payne not too long ago and beat it. I have to say that this is the best packed action shoot em' up game. In Max Payne your an undercover cop and becomes a New York fugitive. I can't tell you why because it would spoil the whole game. I gave this game 5 stars because of it's unique creation. It's full with action and it has just the right amount of difficulty. There's also an option that lets you do a matrix slow motion style shooter for about 7 seconds. This is a very brilliant option in the game because if you see a group of enemies just use this option and shoot them. Secondly, the graphics are amazing. It just spices everything up to a new level. The enivironments are also interactive, for example, you can buy a soda from the soda machine or turn on the sink or shower or even flush a toilet. So, that's also a pretty cool thing they put into this game. Also, the game's AI Scripts are easy at the beginning and increase with each level. The AI is never impossible to beat and I think that is pretty creative. Max Payne also has a dazzling storyline. The only bad part about this game is the voice talent. Max Payne always seems dull and just says things in a voice that's kinda lame but funny. Like if someone dies he's just like..well if you buy the game you'll see what I mean. I gave this game 5 stars because I thought it was very unique and amazing and everything! I also want to thank the creators and everyone else for spending their time to create a game with so much action and brilliance. Well, if you like action packed games with unique features I say buy this game at all costs!
- The director who was behind this game (Yasumi Matsuno) also worked on Vagrant Story and was working on Final Fantasy XII (but got pull off the project)
NINTENDO POWER
2674 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I bought my controller from gtsboy for $22.99. It came in good shape. You could tell it was used because the buttons moved easily and they weren't stiff (that's a good thing!). However, the joystick had a problem. The character would keep moving forward without the joystick being moved so I had to open it up and clean it a bit, but other than that it was a great buy!
-In-car camera gives a stomach-churning stream of nonstop thrills as you launch over crests and 2-wheel hairpins
I originally played FF8 in the PC version, so I was interested in how the PS2 version would compare. Even with a my leaky memory, my impression is that the PS2 version is a bit solider graphically. And, of course, the use of a game controller makes everything seem smoother, even if it really isn't.
+"it's good to be bad"
* You can use the "governor" much better including customizing it to your own rules.. as opposed to the governor in Civ which I don't know anyone who uses.. (including unit automations) These are especially useful in to reduce the tedium in the ICS (Infinite City Sprawl) and "pop-booming" strategies often employed where there may be MANY MANY cities.
Laughable dialog and voice acting
9968 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game...my uncle rented it for me and my cousin. He got playing it and we kept it so long we just bought it from the rental store instead of returning it. hahaha yeah awesome game you can race or beat the snots out of your opponents with chains, nunchucks, cattle prods etc. and hey if you don't have a weapon don't worry you can steal one while someone is trying to hit you with theirs. Also you can sometimes run repo missions where you knock someone off their bike and steal it. Cops can bust you for all kinds of stuff and watch your bike's health meter if you crash a lot and it reaches zero it goes boom. So much fun.
8822 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Golden Axe is a game which was a arcade game, brought onto Sega Genesis. It is a side scrolling game that's basically a beat'em up RPG. Two people can play together simultaneously or you can roll solo. Players can pick between 3 characters. A warrior/barbarrian like character with a sword. A lady also wielding a sword. And also a dwarf that has a double bladed axe. Each of the three characters have the ability of using a different type of magic. Golden Axe rocks just as much now as it did upon it's release!!! It's a simple game, yet has it's challenges. The Genesis version even has more levels than the arcade. As you fight various bad guys (including skeleton w/ swords,giants w/ giant sledge hammers,ect..) you even get the chance to ride some mythical beasts. Two different types of dragons & a weird looking one, that has a tale you use to hit advisaries with. The blue dragon breathes fire towards the ground. And the red dragon breathes fireballs towards whatever direction your facing. You work your way through levels to reach & fight Death Adder. The gameplay is simplistic & enjoyable! The graphics we're good when it came out. And pretty good for it's time still, in my opinion. If you push either left or right on the D-pad twice (holding down the second push) you'll run towards an enemy. You can then hit the attack button to do a cool attack. The dwarf will do a headbutt with his viking helmet. The warrior/barbarrian does a shoulder nudge. And the lady does a flying kick. You are allowed a certain amount of continues. Also, your able to add some health and continues (if I remember) in th options menu. The music really fits the game & it's levels too! I highly recommend this game to anyone that has never played it, but likes old school games.
But strip all that away, and this is a very well-designed and challenging cart racer. It kind of does the opposite of Mario Kart 64, and offers a strong single-player mode and a fun but somewhat bare multiplayer-mode. Similiar to platform games, you race through courses and collect balloons, which in turn open boss fights and other worlds with more courses. There are three fully-tuned vehicles to choose from: your kart, a plane, and a hovercraft. Each has it's pros and cons, controls differently from the others, and takes skill to master. You can even race different vehicles against each other, often taking different routes in the same course. Like other kart racers this one isn't about speed, but the tracks have lots of detail and animation, and are consistently interesting to race through (one even looks like the Death Star trench from Star Wars).
4643 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I bought this game for my 7 year old son, expecting it to be a good one. The graphics are average (better graphics can be found with Spyro, year of the dragon), and the levels are very frustrating, I found myself throwing the controller away several times trying to help my son get through the levels, even though I consider myself a good gamer. I finally recommended my son to play Spyro the dragon instead to avoid anymore frustrations. I won't recommend anyone to get this game.
1529 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 South Park the video game is all right. I don't think it's smash worthy but I really don't think it's flush worthy either because it did probably one of the smarter things and totally copied 007 GoldenEye and gave it a total South Park twist.
6648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is what a proper adventure game should be. There's a mystery to solve, a secret past to discover, even a maiden to save! There is also no swearing, no blatant sexual themes (although the scantily clad woman on the cover of the box might suggest otherwise), and very little gore.
Poor Bubsy.
- Considered classic to many gamers
The good: Great graphics, Great levels, music and sounds,good level of challenge
2949 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is just one of those classic games to find my childhood. It really was one of the best RPG's money could buy and still is. Just look at all the fanfare around the game the reason why people still play and talk about this game.
6800 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Classic sega game - very fun to play
4296 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Same applies as Cataclysm... "Max rating to any Homeworld game. Loved this series when i was young, had to own copies again. Can't complain about quality as per its age, but in its day it was groundbreaking gameplay. TO THIS DAY no other game has matched its gameplay style effectively or been able to be as fluid. Graphically it was also impressive for its time!"
3886 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good product.
The backdrop of the game is breathtaking! You will travel through dark caves, desert tombs, monasteries, deserted cities, jungles, ancient Mayan temples with undead priests assaulting you in waves, and even the rivers of Hell. The final showdown with Diablo is 10 times better than the original. The story that ties everything together is, well, not as deep as other RPGs, but still spell-binding. The ending will have you begging for D3.
Throughout the eight stages, you just beat up anybody in your way, as well as some bosses. You choose from 3 characters: A muscular warrior, a viking (Or gnome?), and a female fighter. Each character has their own kind of magic you can activate once pressing A, though that will use up all the pot you have collected from the thieves. Some bosses are easy, others may be hard. Heck, the second Death Adder (Known as Death Bringer) uses magic once he hits you, and that is saying something due to the fact that no enemy uses magic.
The game, once set up well, can almost run itself. Your various minions roam around your park, cleaning and fixing items. You earn money based on quite a few variables - how much you charge at the gate, how much you charge for food, how much you charge for each ride. Rain comes and visitors are now buying umbrellas, and avoiding the open rides. Marketing campaigns can help your draw, although coupons might affect profits short-term.
I think that anyone who has a N64 should add this game to their collection, without a doubt... it's a solid game, and you won't regret it.
- countless features
This is a hell of a good game and it's going for a little less than $5 now on Amazon...you should definitely pick up a copy.
9739 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Some good levels, some good cars. Mostly nothing special, though. If you want a good Twisted Metal game, look elsewhere in teh series. If you want a good vehicular destruction game, look to Vigilante 8 or, better still Interstate 76 or Interstate 82.
But the absorbing story line and the landscapes should will make you forget all that, and you might never want to leave Riven, even after you completed Riven many times...
982 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...BR>This game, more than any other for the Nintendo 64, is what will come to mind when most ppl think of the N64. Mainly because, this was one of the first shooter games to require the gamer to use his brain to solve puzzles and get thru the nasty surprises the game will throw at you. Not following the bloodlust of previous first shooter games like Doom, Heretic, Turok, etc. this game is in a class of its own. It gives you objectives to complete however, unlike Perfect Dark it adds to the challenge by giving you deadly surprises that are NOT mentioned in the mission breifing, these will make at least restart a few levels over and over until you figure it out for yourself. Its a much better game than any other First shooter Ive played since it stresses Stealthy behavior, and intelligence on the part of the player to succeed.
This game is increasingly difficult to find, but if you can get your hands on it, you will be greatly rewarded! Good luck!

8264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the most epic 2 1/2D shooters I have ever played. It's so good it even has its own OST album. Read official critic reviews and watch videos on this because this game cannot be explained on here.
6576 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Gamers get two of the deepest, greatest RPGs ever created for less than the price of a single new game - it's hard to argue with that sort of value. Whether you've waited five years for Final Fantasy V or just finished your first Final Fantasy, the Final Fantasy Anthology is sure to entertain. Jody Bissoon
3032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 7 is in my opinion, the best game in the entire series. The graphics are crisp, the gameplay is as fun as any other FF game and the music is epic. This is nearly a perfect game.
The CONS: With a new series comes the realization that none of the characters from the NES series make any appearance whatsoever. Mega Man X on a whole is a tough game to beat but only because the difficulty level spikes through the roof during the last few stages, especially when fighting Sigma. The battle alone made or broke gamers who reached to that point so either you celebrated with jubilation as you watched the ending or cursed out its name in pure frustration.
4699 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OHMYGAWD! This game is sooooo addicting and fun. I feel like a pimply faced teenager again rolling dice in a freind's home long into the summer nights, playing D&D.

4861 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works great. Have not noticed any lag or missed/misfired button presses. It handles multiple button presses fine.
